H A Dkernel-docdiff a4c6ebede2f99fc3aaa5a42228a16747d0aa2504 Tue Aug 04 14:04:08 CEST 2015 Danilo Cesar Lemes de Paula <danilo.cesar@collabora.co.uk> 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.
