gtags-parser cannot satisfy requirement 2.
Therefore, this should not be required of plug-in parser.

---------- example ----------
$ cat a.c
typedef int INT;

INT
foo(
INT x,
INT y);

INT foo(INT x, INT y){return 0;}
$ gtags-parser -dtr a.c
INT                 3 a.c              INT
INT                 5 a.c              INT x,
INT                 6 a.c              INT y);
foo                 4 a.c              foo(    <================================
INT                 8 a.c              INT foo(INT x, INT y){return 0;}
INT                 8 a.c              INT foo(INT x, INT y){return 0;}
INT                 8 a.c              INT foo(INT x, INT y){return 0;}
