* kernel-doc: allow unnamed bit-fieldsRandy Dunlap2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow for unnamed bit-fields and skip them instead of printing an erroneous warning message for them, such as: Warning(include/asm-s390/cio.h:103): No description found for parameter 'u32' which contains: struct tm_scsw { u32 :1; Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

* kernel-doc: detect/prevent duplicate doc section namesRandy Dunlap2008-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I saw this problem recently. With this kernel-doc: * Note: some important info * * Note: other important info kernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info"). It is (was) possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of warning or error. kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of printing the <section-name> descriptive text and the former important info was lost. One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.: * Note1: foo bar * * Note.2: blah zay For now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names like this.

* kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsingRichard Kennedy2008-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).

* kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and htmlRandy Dunlap2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in html output format when they are inside a DOC: block. DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc comments were. Fixed that. However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed thru xml_escape(), converting it to &lt;p&gt;, which isn't good for the generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters ('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the stream to its output file. Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any output mode (text, man, html, xml). Also update copyright to include me.

* kernel-doc: handle arrays with arithmetic expressions as initializersBorislav Petkov2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it, prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name along with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets pushed last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without removing whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.

* [PATCH] DocBook: allow even longer return typesMartin Waitz2006-02-01
| | | | | | | | | kernel-doc errored out because it could not understand the new __copy_to_user definition. Now we allow return types with four words. Signed-off-by: Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] DocBook: warn for missing macro parametersMartin Waitz2006-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | Previously kernel-doc silently ignored missing parameter descriptions for preprocessor macros. Now that all such omissions are fixed up we can warn about them in kernel-doc to be able to keep it that way.

* [PATCH] DocBook: allow to mark structure members privateMartin Waitz2005-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | Many structures contain both an internal part and one which is part of the API to other modules. With this patch it is possible to only include these public members in the kernel documentation.

* [PATCH] scripts/kernel-doc: don't use uninitialized SRCTREERandy Dunlap2005-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Current kernel-doc (perl) script generates this warning: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at scripts/kernel-doc line 1668. So explicitly check for SRCTREE in the ENV before using it, and then if it is set, append a '/' to the end of it, otherwise the SRCTREE + filename can (will) be missing the intermediate '/'.

* [PATCH] DocBook: Use xmlto to process the DocBook files.Martin Waitz2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.
