docs: kdoc: improvements to dump_function() and thereabouts

[PATCH 13/13] docs: kdoc: a few more dump_typedef() tweaks

Posted by Jonathan Corbet 3 weeks, 2 days ago

Merge "typedef" into the typedef_type pattern rather than repeating it
later, and add some comments.

Hi Jon,

A quick report on minor regression. Please see below.

I'm seeing new warnings after applying 13/13:

OK, that is embarrassing, not sure how that got through.  My apologies.

An add-on fix is appended if you have the patience to try it; I'll
update the series before too long in any case.

Thanks for testing!

Testing the one-liner ... , and yes it silenced the warnings.

I can't do any serious reviews on python code, but can do tests on your
"improvements".

All those noisy warnings current docs-next carries ...
