Guile's SCM_DEFINE and Semantic mode

Guile's SCM_DEFINE and Semantic mode

Hello users of the greatest editor of all times!

I'm working on a libguile-based project.  All function definitions that
are exported from C code to the Guile interpreter are define like this:
(meta-variables between '<' and '>')

SCM_DEFINE (<c-name>, <scheme-name>,
            <mandatory-args-count>, <optional-args-count>, <rest-bool>,
            <argument-list>,
	    <documentation-string>)
{
 <function-body>
}

At C preprocessing time the 'SCM_DEFINE (...)' function header gets
expanded to:

SCM
<c-name> <c-argument-list>

Unfortunately Semantic doesn't recognize it as a function definition.
How can I make Semantic recognize it as such?

Perhaps you can first find out how Semantic handles Emacs C
source, which is full of similar constructs (named ‘DEFUN’)
and then tweak that method for ‘SCM_DEFINE’.

That's an interesting idea; thank you.  However, Ludovic Courtès pointed
out, at GNU Guile users' mailing list, that GNU GLOBAL handles
SCM_DEFINE'd functions.  So, I ended up using ggtags as it seems
Semantic doesn't use GNU GLOBAL database for 'semantic-complete-jump'
and 'semantic-ia-fast-jump', despite its use of it in searches of symbol
references.  I'm still using Semantic for other things, in particular
for mode-line documentation, as ggtags' Eldoc support is not working for
me, and Semantic is able to grab the prototype of SCM_DEFINE'd functions
from the header files.
