Description Philip Chimento 2015-10-11 00:49:41 UTC 
If the following line is in configure.ac:

GTK_DOC_CHECK(1.20)  # Comment, with a comma

Then gtkdocize will mistakenly think the comma in the comment indicates options that it should add to its command-line invocation, and add "with a comma" to its argv. Issuing "gtkdocize" with no arguments will then give the cryptic error message "gtkdocize: too many arguments".

    gtkdocize: drop text behind the macro
    
    This can be a comment or another macro. In neither case we want to accidentially
    pick up options from that part.
