Subject: [PATCH v2] kernel-doc: rename the kernel-doc directive 'functions' to 'identifiers'

The 'functions' directive is not only for functions, but also works for
structs/unions. So the name is misleading. This patch renames it to
'identifiers', which specific the functions/types to be included in
documentation. We keep the old name as an alias of the new one before
all documentation are updated.

So I think this is basically OK, but I have one more request...

Rather than do this, can you just change the elif line to read:

elif ('identifiers' in self.options) or ('functions' in self.options):

...then leave the rest of the code intact? It keeps the logic together,
and avoids the confusing distinction between identifiers=='' and
identifiers==None .

Thanks,

I think the problem is you still need to distinguish between the two for
the get('functions') part.

One option is to rename 'functions' to 'identifiers' in the above block,
and put something like this above the whole if ladder (untested):

# backward compat
if 'functions' in self.options:
if 'identifiers' in self.options:
kernellog.warn(env.app, "fail")
else:
self.options.set('identifiers', self.options.get('functions'))

BR,
Jani.

Did you not notice your patch does the same, except silently, while this
would produce a warning? Which one is less surprising?

But is it, really? I agree with Jon about the distinction between None
and '' being confusing.

Treating both as a False value is reasonably common. Treating them
elsewhere in the same code block as separate values is less
so; that's the part I would prefer to avoid.
