Yes, it is a bug. It's not really a Geany bug, more a bug in the CTags
C parser. Well, there are two possibilities:
- someone fixes the bug in Geany and we'll send the fix to the CTags
project
- you file a bugreport at the CTags bug tracker
(http://ctags.sourceforge.net) and when it is fixed, we use the fix
also for Geany. If you do so, please post a link to the bugreport,
Thanks.

I won't work on this. So maybe Nick want to fix it, or anyone else
likes to write a patch. The file to look into is tagmanager/c.c in the
Geany source directory.
But it's probably better to report this at the CTags project and hope
someone will fix it.

Regards,
Enrico
