Index C function prototypes

[Tavs]

OS: Fedora Core 15 64 bit intel

Global version: global - GNU GLOBAL 5.9.3 (global-5.9.3-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm)

Goal: Say I have a C header file (*.h file) with some function prototypes. I want gtags to index such prototypes, but I can't actually get that to work

What I did:

$ mkdir foo && cd foo/
$ vi foo.h
$ gtags
$ global -vf foo.h


where foo.h contains
#ifndef FOO_H_
#define FOO_H_

void foo() ;

#endif /*FOO_H_*/

What I got
FOO_H_ 2 foo.h ...

What I expected
FOO_H_ 2 foo.h ...
foo   4 foo .h ...

It only works when I write a function definition, i.e. if I substitue the prototype with

void foo () {}

,even if I set GTAGSFORCECPP

What's missing?

TIA

You can see the tag using the following command line:

$ global -xs foo

As ctags does so, global's parser also considers that a prototype is not a definition.
