I found the problem. My tags file is NOT Ok as I thought. Incorrect version generated with: ctags -R --C-kinds=+p --field=+S
This generates this tags file: -bash-3.2$ cat tags !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT 2 /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to lines/ !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 1 /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/ !_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR Darren Hiebert /[email protected]/ !_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME Exuberant Ctags // !_TAG_PROGRAM_URL http://ctags.sourceforge.net /official site/ !_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION 5.8 // a f1.h /^ int a; $/;" m struct:mystruct b f1.h /^ int b;$/;" m struct:mystruct main f1.c /^void main (void)$/;" f signature:(void) myType f1.h /^} myType;$/;" t typeref:struct:mystruct mystruct f1.h /^typedef struct mystruct {$/;" s -bash-3.2$ tags that works for this particular example were generated with: ctags -R --C-kinds=+p --fields=+aS --extra=+q -bash-3.2$ cat tags !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT 2 /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to lines/ !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 1 /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/ !_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR Darren Hiebert /[email protected]/ !_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME Exuberant Ctags // !_TAG_PROGRAM_URL http://ctags.sourceforge.net /official site/ !_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION 5.8 // a f1.h /^ int a; $/;" m struct:mystruct access:public b f1.h /^ int b;$/;" m struct:mystruct access:public main f1.c /^void main (void)$/;" f signature:(void) myType f1.h /^} myType;$/;" t typeref:struct:mystruct mystruct f1.h /^typedef struct mystruct {$/;" s mystruct::a f1.h /^ int a; $/;" m struct:mystruct access:public mystruct::b f1.h /^ int b;$/;" m struct:mystruct access:public -bash-3.2$ The help file in omniCppComplete plugin (in .vim/doc/ folder) calls for: ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q . I had assumed that since I am not using C++ (simply C), that the +ia in --fields and +q in --extra would be irrelevant.
