CTags Indexer

The CTags indexer makes use of Exuberant CTags (version 5.5.4) to create an index of the source and header files in your project. The main advantage provided by CTags is that the index creation is very quick. This makes it ideal to use on larger sized projects. 

CTags, however, does not provide the same level of detail in indexing as the Full C/C++ indexer. Specifically:
