Not speaking to the current effort but ... in the past, when I have contemplated this (using, say, tree-sitter), the real problem is that those parsers simply strip out the comments. Kerneldoc without comments ... doesn't work very well. If there were a parser without those problems, and which could be made to do the right thing with all of our weird macro usage, it would certainly be worth considering. jon
