Hi John,

Thanks for the report. (I have confirmed it.)

@Vegard, can you look at this, please?
I have already looked but didn't arrive at a solution.


It appears to be these lines in process_name() that are confusing the function name
and following description:

        # Look for foo() or static void foo() - description; or misspelt
        # identifier
        elsif (/^$decl_start$fn_type?(\w+)\s*$parenthesis?\s*$decl_end?$/ ||
            /^$decl_start$fn_type?(\w+.*)$parenthesis?\s*$decl_end$/) {
            $identifier = $1;

Thanks.
