2020-04-14kernel-doc: Use c:struct for Sphinx 3.0 and laterPeter Maydell
The kernel-doc Sphinx plugin and associated script currently emit 'c:type' directives for "struct foo" documentation. Sphinx 3.0 warns about this: /home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/docs/../include/exec/memory.h:3: WARNING: Type must be either just a name or a typedef-like declaration. If just a name: Error in declarator or parameters Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name, got keyword: struct [error at 6] struct MemoryListener ------^ If typedef-like declaration: Error in declarator or parameters Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 21] struct MemoryListener ---------------------^ because it wants us to use the new-in-3.0 'c:struct' instead. Plumb the Sphinx version through to the kernel-doc script and use it to select 'c:struct' for newer versions than 3.0.

2020-04-14scripts/kernel-doc: Add missing close-paren in c:function directivesPeter Maydell
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 in the memory API documentation: .. 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.

2019-12-17docs: tweak kernel-doc for QEMU coding standardsPaolo Bonzini
Surprisingly, QEMU does have a pretty consistent doc comment style and it is not very different from the Linux kernel's. Of the documentation "sigils", only "#" separates the QEMU doc comment style from Linux's, and it has 200+ instances vs. 6 for the kernel's '&struct foo' (all in accel/tcg/translate-all.c), so it's clear that the two standards are different in this respect. In addition, our structs are typedefed and recognized by CamelCase names. Adjust kernel-doc's parser for these two aspects of the QEMU coding standards. The patch has been valid, with hardly any change, for over two years, so it should not be an issue to keep kernel-doc in sync with the Linux copy. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2019-12-17docs: import Linux kernel-doc script and extensionPaolo Bonzini
Import Linux's kernel-doc script as of commit 15e2544ed38a1e, as well as the Sphinx extension to call kernel-doc according to the arguments and parameters given to a reStructuredText directive. The kernel-doc extension accepts a filename, which is relative to the QEMU source tree root. The extension also notifies Sphinx about the document dependency on the file, causing the document to be rebuilt when the file has been changed. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
