Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2010-07-12 22:05:02 UTC 
it won't pick up this declaration because of the 'const's

const gchar * const *   g_settings_list_schemas    (void);
Comment 1 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2010-07-13 07:32:06 UTC 
why do you put the 2nd const you put it? g_settings_list_schemas gives back an array of gchar pointers, where the array pointer is const, but not the gchar pointers?

    scan: improve reexps to handle more * const * variants. Fixes #624200
    
    We were handling that correctly for the case of split line declarations. Take
    the same route if all is one one line. Add tests.
Comment 3 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2010-07-13 12:44:19 UTC 
const gchar * const * means 'constant array of "const gchar *"'

thanks for the fix
