Here is a workaround to the ctags and prototypes problem that I've been
discussing with myself:


/*
** The following cheap trick is made necessary by a broken ctags(1).
** Ctags is fooled by function prototypes containing pointer to
** function declarations, so we hide them in a define.  Now lint(1)
** stays happy, too!
*/

#define PARMLIST1 void (*fn)(void *, int)
#define PARMLIST2 void (*fn)(void *)

void    add_event(event_pp, int, int, int, PARMLIST1, void *);
void    add_update(update_pp, int *, PARMLIST2, void *);

Enjoy!
