Re: With a wacky macro before it, 'global' appears to miss a function

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
Thank you for the bug report.

To solve the problem, I would like to add a new rule like follows:

(In C parser)
A function definition must not have blank lines between the first "(" and the 
first "{".

o An example that is a definition.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{                                       <= blank lines don't exist.

        printf("Hello\n");

}

o An example that is not a definition.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
                                        <= blank lines exist.
{

        printf("Hello\n");

}

The difference of the two is whether there are blank lines between
"main(" and the first "{".

What do you think?
