When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function one of whose arguments is a function pointer, it fails to print the close-paren after the argument list of the function pointer argument, for instance: .. c:function:: void memory_region_init_resizeable_ram (MemoryRegion * mr, struct Object * owner, const char * name, uint64_t size, uint64_t max_size, void (*resized) (const char*, uint64_t length, void *host, Error ** errp)
which should have a ')' after the 'void *host' which is the last argument to 'resized'. Older versions of Sphinx don't try to parse the argumnet to c:function, but Sphinx 3.0 does do this and will complain: /home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/docs/../include/exec/memory.h:834: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters Invalid C declaration: Expecting "," or ")" in parameters, got "EOF". [error at 208] void memory_region_init_resizeable_ram (MemoryRegion * mr, struct Object * owner, const char * name, uint64_t size, uint64_t max_size, void (*resized) (const char*, uint64_t length, void *host, Error ** errp) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^ Add the missing close-paren.
