Description David Malcolm 2003-09-26 16:13:36 UTC
There are numerous comments in the source code that aren't in the format
that gtkdoc expects.

If some coder is looking for an easy-fix bug, it'd be great if you could
submit patches with these comments reformatted so that the information
appears in the API docs.
Comment 1 Geert Stappers 2003-10-02 06:54:28 UTC
Bug #123360, attachment 20425 [details] [review] provides an example what has to be done.
Comment 2 Geert Stappers 2003-10-29 16:55:53 UTC
Bug #125785 will provide more information on gtkdoc

Patch to add gtk-doc comments to most functions

This patch adds gtk-doc style comments to most functions. A lot of them are
just placeholders with "TODO: Write me", but those are useful, since they're
there, in the right format, and when someone is working on a function, they can
take a minute to fill in the blanks.

A bunch of functions _have_ been documented though (either just from reading
them, or from converting existing comments)

Also, this has some whitespace changes (deleted places where there were ~10
spurious blank lines at the end of a file), and some formatting changes to
function headers (as I threw the comment block on a function, I brought that
header more or less into the gnome indentation style, which most of the cong
code follows)
Comment 5 David Malcolm 2004-04-18 05:34:57 UTC
Thanks!  Looks good, I tested this at my end, though I haven't been able to
build the gtk-docs yet.  I've committed this to CVS.

The work on bug 144878 (bugreport #144878) allows me to close this bugreport.

And being optimistic I choose to use FIXED as status  :-P
