Re: [PATCH] scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body

On 07/31/15 14:06, Danilo Cesar Lemes de Paula wrote:

Describing arguments at top of a struct definition works fine for small/medium size structs, but it definitely doesn't work well for struct with a huge list of elements.

Keeping the arguments list inside the struct body makes it easier to maintain the documentation. ie: /**

• struct my_struct - short description
• @a: first member
• @b: second member
• Longer description

*/ struct my_struct { int a; int b; /** * @c: This is longer description of C * * You can use paragraphs to describe arguments * using this method. */ int c; };

This patch allows the use of this kind of syntax. Only one argument per comment and user can use how many paragraphs he needs. It should start with /**, which is already being used by kernel-doc. If those comment doesn't follow those rules, it will be ignored.

What are "arguments" in this context? do you mean struct fields or members?
