I understood.
Though your saying is right, it seems that it is over the capability of
GLOBAL. Since GLOBAL distinguishes symbols only by name, the following
situation may also happen.

$ global -x FooBar
FooBar               4 FooBar.c           enum FooBar { ...
FooBar               5 FooBar.c           struct FooBar { ...
FooBar               7 FooBar.c           int FooBar() { ...

I agree with you.
To solve this problem, we need to classify symbols, I think.
It is in the TODO list.
