In the discussion of the PR, you commented on 15 Oct 2020 at https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/8313#issuecomment-708977457: > On a quick test, the remaining warnings I was getting with the Linux > Kernel docs with Sphinx 3.x have gone after this patch set. > > Thanks! > > I'm looking forward to see those patches applied to 3.2.2 ;-) So you might have thought that the issue was already resolved. > >> >> This PR is supposed to resolve "WARNING: Duplicate C declaration" >> due to struct and function with the same name, isn't it? >> >> Are you sure the issue is resolved in Sphinx 4.0 and later? > > You need to ping Sphinx C domain maintainer to be sure.

Later on in the discussion, @jakobandersen reported the status of the PR on 2 Apr 2021 at: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/8313#issuecomment-812408069. If I understand the complex comment correctly, there is another PR at https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/8929 as a prerequisite to PR 8313. PR 8929 now belongs to the 5.x milestone (missed 5.0.0). PR 8313 has never had a milestone assigned. So it looks to me like things are progressing very slowly and we need to wait another release or two at least. Of course, all of this is just my interpretation without knowing any of Sphinx development and might be wrong in many aspects. Thanks, Akira > > Thanks, > Mauro
