Description Yeti 2007-09-03 22:14:09 UTC 
gtk-doc should warn about issues such as bug 473340.

This should be relatively simple: for each non-private and non-standard (i.e. actually output) symbol in the section, check whether the symbol has been already seen.
Comment 1 Yeti 2007-09-03 22:32:01 UTC 
OK, we get a warning from xsltproc:

Warning: multiple "IDs" for constraint linkend: gtk-print-operation-get-error

As I would expect, but overlooked the first time in the flood of other messages.  Maybe it's enough?

Before we add more warning, I'd like to have one function in gtkdoc-common.pl to print the warning, prefferably in gcc-style. After that I am fine with adding a warning for almost every case :)

	* gtkdoc-common.pl.in:
	* gtkdoc-mkdb.in:
	  Warn about repeated symbols in sections. Also give line of previous
	  occurrance. Also give that info for double file entries. Fixes #473342
