This is so that this function may be used to implement custom
notification messages that will call-back this funtion seeing if
we are currently generating tags. I used it to implement airline plugin.
The airline plugin may be implemented then with:
""" in my vimrc """""""""
function! airline#extensions#gen_tags#enable_on_section_x(...)
if get(g:, 'airline#extensions#gen_tags#enabled', 1) && (get(g:, 'loaded_gentags#gtags', 0) || get(g:, 'loaded_gentags#ctags', 0))
call airline#parts#define_function('gen_tags', 'airline#extensions#gen_tags#status')
let g:airline_section_x = airline#section#create_right(['gen_tags'])
endif
endfunction
let g:airline#extensions#gen_tags#enabled = 1
call airline#add_statusline_func('airline#extensions#gen_tags#enable_on_section_x')
""""""""""""" in autoload """"""""""
if !get(g:, 'loaded_gentags#gtags', 0) && !get(g:, 'loaded_gentags#ctags', 0)
finish
endif
function! airline#extensions#gen_tags#status()
return gen_tags#job#is_running() != 0 ? 'Gen. gen_tags' : ''
" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is needed
endfunction
function! airline#extensions#gen_tags#init(ext)
call airline#parts#define_function('gen_tags', 'airline#extensions#gen_tags#status')
endfunction

The airline plugin may be implemented then with:
which I guess will pull request to airline later.
