Getting the inter-document cross references right may become tricky. We'll be generating plenty of snippets of lightweight markup from source code documentation comments. At the time of processing, we won't know where e.g. a specific function to be cross referenced is documented, if at all. We can't require the documentation comment writers to figure that out either; it's too burdensome, too ugly in the code, and they'll bitrot quickly. Cross referencing in the asciidoc proofs of concept have worked because they've all done the processing as a single single unit, with includes. These hacks have also ignored any broken links, and there have been > Yes, it does require some thinking about cross references.

It seems to me Sphinx provides much better support regarding cross references, out of the box, within documents and to external documents (intersphinx), with target roles and domains, including validation and not creating broken links in the output. Looking at the current hacks we have for post-processing references, I'm really not thrilled about the prospect of keeping or redoing that. See how this works in Jon's Sphinx test [1]. At the time of generating the markup from source comments, there is no idea if and where gem_init_hw() and intel_guc_ucode_init() are documented. Indeed, documentation for the former does not exist, but there's no broken link. BR, Jani.
