Subject: [PATCH v2 05/12] docs: kdoc: split top-level prototype parsing out of dump_struct()
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 15:16:32 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807211639.47286-6-corbet@lwn.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250807211639.47286-1-corbet@lwn.net>
Move the initial split of the prototype into its own function in the
ongoing effort to cut dump_struct() down to size.
