Re: Fw: Fw: ctags with overloaded (or scoped) functions

Though global can treat one or more functions of the same name,
it doesn't distinguish them. The work is left to the user.
Since global(1) shows the list of all candidates of 'Cout' like
follows, you can select appropriate one from it.

$ global -x Cout
Cout                2 test.cc        void Cout(int num) { cout << num
Cout                3 test.cc        void Cout(float num) { cout << n
Cout                7 test.cc            void Cout(int num) { cout <<

Though I don't know your environment, most vi editers take you
to the first entry of the candidate list. If you hope to select
one from the list, I recommend you the use of emacs (gtags.el) or
bash (globash.rc).
