But your patch introduces another imbalances, e.g.

The old version had left paren, start of group, ..., end of group The new version has start of group, left paren, ..., right paren
Where left / right paren means the character without any special meaning. I actually can't see anything wrong with the old TRACE_EVENT matching, the regular expression is correct and I think it does what it should do (turn TRACE_EVENT(foo) into trace_foo).
Below is the full list of warnings I get from

The same list repeats, as ctags is called multiple times.
