suppose I am in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/net/ipv4/tcp_bbr.c

for the tag: pacing_gain

'helm-gtags-find-tag-from-here' finds the result, while 'helm-gtags-parse-file' failed.

GNU Global does not support tagging variable, struct fields definitions. GNU global --symbol option can show them but it shows symbol references too. And --symbol option cannot use with --definition option.

how to make the result of `helm-gtags-parse-file' be the combination of both "global -s" and "global -d". would you please let me know which place to modify ?
