From a4c6ebede2f99fc3aaa5a42228a16747d0aa2504 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Danilo Cesar Lemes de Paula Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 09:04:08 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body 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.
