From 92bb29f9b2c3d4a98eef5f0db935d4be291eec72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2020 16:52:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] scripts/kerneldoc: For Sphinx 3 use c:macro for macros with arguments MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The kerneldoc script currently emits Sphinx markup for a macro with arguments that uses the c:function directive. This is correct for Sphinx versions earlier than Sphinx 3, where c:macro doesn't allow documentation of macros with arguments and c:function is not picky about the syntax of what it is passed. However, in Sphinx 3 the c:macro directive was enhanced to support macros with arguments, and c:function was made more picky about what syntax it accepted. When kerneldoc is told that it needs to produce output for Sphinx 3 or later, make it emit c:function only for functions and c:macro for macros with arguments. We assume that anything with a return type is a function and anything without is a macro. This fixes the Sphinx error: /home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/docs/../include/qom/object.h:155:Error in declarator If declarator-id with parameters (e.g., 'void f(int arg)'): Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name.
