I surely can't be the first to want to generate and visit my TAGS files
automagically, rather than having to go through the manual process of
etags *.foo or whatever, followed by visit-tags-table. Since there are
flyspell, flymake, and I don't know what other fly* modes, I don't see
why etags couldn't be run in that manner as well. Has anyone already
tried this?

A different but comparable solution is provided by Semantic (part of
the CEDET package, which will be included in Emacs-24).

The package of etags-table is quite handy. It automatically loads TAGS file,
which is located in the direct/indirect parent directory.
If we register crond jobs to rebuild TAGS periodically, we don't need to
worry about the feature of finding function's definition any more.
Regards,
Denny
