* [PATCH v2] kernel-doc: rename the kernel-doc directive 'functions' to 'identifiers' @ 2019-10-20 13:17 Changbin Du 2019-10-24 18:19 ` Jonathan Corbet 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Changbin Du @ 2019-10-20 13:17 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Jonathan Corbet Cc: linux-pci, linux-doc, linux-kernel, linux-mm, linux-crypto, linux-kselftest, linux-wireless, linux-fpga, linux-usb, dri-devel, intel-gfx, Matthew Wilcox, jani.nikula, Thomas Zimmermann, Changbin Du The 'functions' directive is not only for functions, but also works for structs/unions.

I think the problem is you still need to distinguish between the two for the get('functions') part. One option is to rename 'functions' to 'identifiers' in the above block, and put something like this above the whole if ladder (untested): # backward compat if 'functions' in self.options: if 'identifiers' in self.options: kernellog.warn(env.app, "fail") else: self.options.set('identifiers', self.options.get('functions')) BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Graphics Center ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
