Subject: [PATCH] docs: Make automarkup ready for Sphinx 3.1+
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2020 23:12:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201007231214.326456-1-nfraprado@protonmail.com> (raw)

While Sphinx 2 used a single c:type role for struct, union, enum and
typedef, Sphinx 3 uses a specific role for each one.
To keep backward compatibility, detect the Sphinx version and use the
correct roles for that version.

Also, Sphinx 3 is more strict with its C domain and generated warnings,
exposing issues in the parsing.
To fix the warnings, make the C regexes use ASCII, ensure the
expressions only match the beginning of words and skip trying to
cross-reference C reserved words.

Hi,

after Mauro's series making everything ready for Sphinx 3.1, only the automarkup
was left to be ported.
This patch makes the needed changes to automarkup so that we can soon flip the
switch to Sphinx 3.1.

This change was tested both with Sphinx 2.4.4 and Sphinx 3.1.

This change doesn't add any warnings to the Documentation build.
I tested it with Mauro's series but later rebased it to docs-next, and it can be
accepted independently of that series.

I ended up doing more than one thing in this single patch, but since it was all
changing the same lines and for the same purpose, I felt it would be better to
keep it as a single commit.

Mauro,
if this patch is ok, the 3rd patch in your series, which disables automarkup for
sphinx 3, should be dropped.
Although I'm not sure what the implications of your patches adding namespaces
and using the c:macro for functions are.
All I did here was use the specific roles for sphinx 3 and fix the warnings, but
that was enough to get correct cross-references even after your series.

Thanks,
Nícolas
