It seems that Foo.h is considerred to be not C++ but C file.
The mapping of the extension and the language is shown.

c, h => C
c++, cpp, cxx, hxx, hpp, C, H => C++

You can change it using the .globalrc file in your home directory.

$ cd $HOME
$ cp /usr/local/share/gtags/gtags.conf .globalrc

[$HOME/.globalrc]

c:.c.h,yacc:.y,asm:.s.S,java:.java,cpp:.c++.cc.cpp.cxx.hxx.hpp.C.H,...
    ==
        |
        v
c:.c,yacc:.y,asm:.s.S,java:.java,cpp:.c++.cc.cpp.cxx.hxx.hpp.C.H.h,...
                                                                ==
You can also rewrite the configure.ac file directly before building.
