See make_tag for details. - The change is both forwards and backwards compatible. +In short, the "optimised tags" are technically tags using "implicit tag +names", + + * etags.c: Implement implicit tag names, that is, unnamed tags + whose name is automatically deduced by etags.el. The advantage is + that there is no explicit tag name in most tags, so the size of + the tags file is reduced, yet find-tag is able to do a match as + accurate as with named tags. See the comment in make_tag for + details. (make_tag): New function (was the disabled function new_pfnote). (make_C_tag): Use it.
