The ctags parser doesn't keep the arguments to a method, it just saves the
method name to generate the corresponding ctag (it skips over any args,
and doesn't parse them properly). So, to adapt the parser for a KDevelop plugin
you need to add extra fields to the structs to hold method args, and extra
parsing code for the args, along with an interface to the KDevelop class
parser. And you need to do this for each language.

This is the approach that KDE Studio use for their parser - they add this to the
standard ctags C++ parser (only C++ though with ctags 1.x).

Gideon parses quite a few languages already, and uses several different styles
of parser code to do it. As long as you use the KDevelop class store api, it
works fine.
