I'm afraid not, asciidoc does not generate funcsynopsis and friends.
Obviously it works for you, since you already use it, but note that in
general funcsynopsis only supports C like languages.

I usually use source blocks for interface definitions, this has the
advantage that it supports non-C languages, ie any that has a
highlighter.  But it isn't structured.
