The 'functions' directive is not only for functions, but also works for structs/unions. So the name is misleading. This patch renames it to 'specific', so now we have export/internal/specific directives to limit the functions/types to be included in documentation. Meanwhile we improved the warning message.
I agree with the others that "specific" doesn't really make things better. "Interfaces" maybe; otherwise we could go for something like "filter" or "select".
Jonathan, How about 'identifier' suggested by Matthew as it is mentioned in Then C spec?
Paint mine green :)
Whatever we end up with, I think it should be added as a synonym for "functions". Then the various selectors that are actually pulling out docs for functions could be changed at leisure - or not at all. I'd rather not see a big patch changing everything at once.
Sure, I'll make 'functions' deprecated and as an alias to our new directive name.
Thanks,
