X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=94dc7ad5502e7d74e2fd74651743f5f1773aa1fe;p=linux-2.6

kernel-doc: detect/prevent duplicate doc section names

I saw this problem recently.  With this kernel-doc:

 * Note: some important info
 *
 * Note: other important info

kernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash
key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info").  It is (was)
possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of
warning or error.

kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of
printing the <section-name> descriptive text and the former important info
was lost.

One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.:

 * Note1: foo bar
 *
 * Note.2: blah zay

For now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names
like this.
