Re: cost of popen()

[Shigio Yamaguchi]

Reviewing the programs, rather than making a lesser popen(3),
I came to think that we had better change the interface between
gtags(1) and gtags-parser(1).

Currently, the interface is in command layer. This brings the performance
problem to gtags, because  the command call far costs than the function call.
To solve the problem, we should move the interface from the command layer
to the function layer, that is, links gtags-parser as part of gtags.

What do you think?
