Description Rob Staudinger 2008-07-22 14:25:50 UTC 
gtk-doc fails to parse the following snippet, albeit it's perfectly legal:

/** 
 * cbd_node_get_id_func:
 * @self: a #cbd_node_t.
 *
 * Hook function to query the ID of a #cbd_node_t.
 *
 * Returns: node ID or %NULL.
 **/
typedef char const * (*cbd_node_get_id_func) (cbd_node_t const *self);

When changing the return value to 'const char *' everything goes smoothly.

	* gtkdoc-mkdb.in:
	* gtkdoc-scan.in:
	* tests/bugs/docs/tester-sections.txt:
	* tests/bugs/src/tester.h:
	  Accept "char const *" as well. Fixes #544172.
