Reproduce steps:
1. init.el
```
(setq etags-regen-program "C:/green/emacs/emacs-29.3/bin/etags.exe")
(require 'etags-regen)
```
2. Open test.c with the following code
```
#define APPLICATION_WINDOW_WIDTH 320
```
3. M-x etags-regen-mode
4. Move the cursor to APPLICATION_WINDOW_WIDTH and M-x
xref-find-definitions. Then the TAGS file is created and the
APPLICATION_WINDOW_WIDTH line is highlighted (good).
5. M-x kill-buffer TAGS
6. Add `#define APPLICATION_WINDOW_HEIGHT 320` to test.c and M-x save-buffer
7. Move the cursor to APPLICATION_WINDOW_HEIGHT and M-x
xref-find-definitions.
The expected behavior: The TAGS file is updated and the
APPLICATION_WINDOW_HEIGHT line is highlighted.
The actual behavior: The echo area reports: "No definition found for:
APPLICATION_WINDOW_HEIGHT"
Note that if I don't do step-5 then everything is OK.
Emacs 29.3 has no this feature, I make it available via copy & paste
etags-regen.el to load-path. I think this issue has nothing to do with the
Emacs version though.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Siyuan Chen

Thanks.
Dmitry, could you please look into this?

Hi!
Thanks for the report.

What happens here, is etags-regen--update-file (added to
after-save-hook) fails the check
(get-file-buffer etags-regen--tags-file)
and so the buffer and the file are not updated.
Note that if after step 7 you make an edit to the same file and then try
navigating again it will work because at step 7 the tags file is visited
again. So this doesn't seem an urgent problem, but it would be nice to
fix nevertheless.
I think we couldn't re-visit the tags file inside after-save-hook (it
might not be fast enough, for one thing), but the second alternative
mentioned inside the TODO at the top of etags-regen--update-file should
be fix this as well.
Is there are particular reason you killed the TAGS buffer? Perhaps a
quicker fix would be to visit the tags file in a hidden buffer, rather
than use the name that's so easy to find and kill or do something else
by accident.

No. I found this bug is just because I tried to view the TAGS content while
editing a .c file and then closed it (I am using tab-line-mode with
tab-line-close-tab-function set to kill-buffer). Since then, I have stopped
closing the TAGS buffer.
Another option is to temporarily add documentation advising users not to
close the TAGS buffer, because closing it accidentally can result in the
odd behavior.
Best regards,
Siyuan Chen

Thanks for the clarification.

I think actually a simpler approach can suffice: using kill-buffer-hook
in the TAGS buffer. Like this:
diff --git a/lisp/progmodes/etags-regen.el b/lisp/progmodes/etags-regen.el
index dc778b14061..21ea9bfb8b3 100644
