Description Edward Sheldrake 2010-10-08 16:42:10 UTC 
While getting swell-foop to work with current gobject-introspection (bug #631563), I eventually discovered that the reason an entire gtk-doc comment block was being completely ignored was due to there being a space character after the /**

This was with gobject-introspection 0.9.10, and is the same with 0.9.12.

It's difficult to spot this error, since spaces are usually invisible, although is easy to find and fix if you already know what the problem is. So at least a warning from g-ir-scanner might save some people some time.
