output_function_rst() does not handle object-like macros. It presents a trailing "()" while output_function_man() handles these macros correctly. Update output_function_rst() to handle object-like macros. Don't show the "Parameters" heading if there are no parameters. For output_function_man(), don't show the "ARGUMENTS" heading if there are no parameters. I have tested this quite a bit with my ad hoc test files for both ReST and man format outputs. The generated output looks good.
