Problem with specmaker

[Guy L. Albertelli]

Recently had a problem with specmaker not generating prototypes. Traced it
down to a problem in function_grep.pl.

If the following lines are in a .h file, no prototypes after them are
recognized. Removing the lines from the .h file allows the prototype to be
generated:

#define IShellIcon_METHODS \
       ICOM_METHOD3(HRESULT, GetIconOf,   \
                LPCITEMIDLIST,pidl, UINT,flags, LPINT,lpIconIndex)

I suspect that the preprocessor elimination did not expect multiline
condition. I don't know perl so I cann't fix it.

Thanks,

thanks for sending the pb to me, but I didn't wrote that part at once
(I just recently upgraded specmaker with some dump facilities)
it seems however that the perl script only allow one backslash for
multiline extensions but fails with more than one
since Patrik seemed to have written this part at once (and it
could/should
be shared with the wineapi suite, I think he's the best suited for the
fix... ;-)
