##
# We attempt to parse C extension files. Basically we look for
# the standard patterns that you find in extensions: <tt>rb_define_class,
# rb_define_method</tt> and so on. We also try to find the corresponding
# C source for the methods and extract comments, but if we fail
# we don't worry too much.
#
# The comments associated with a Ruby method are extracted from the C
# comment block associated with the routine that _implements_ that
# method, that is to say the method whose name is given in the
# <tt>rb_define_method</tt> call. For example, you might write:
#
#   /*
#    * Returns a new array that is a one-dimensional flattening of this
#    * array (recursively). That is, for every element that is an array,
#    * extract its elements into the new array.
#    *
#    *    s = [ 1, 2, 3 ]           #=> [1, 2, 3]
#    *    t = [ 4, 5, 6, [7, 8] ]   #=> [4, 5, 6, [7, 8]]
#    *    a = [ s, t, 9, 10 ]       #=> [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, [7, 8]], 9, 10]
#    *    a.flatten                 #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
#    */
#    static VALUE
#    rb_ary_flatten(ary)
#        VALUE ary;
#    {
#        ary = rb_obj_dup(ary);
#        rb_ary_flatten_bang(ary);
#        return ary;
#    }
#
#    ...
#
#    void
#    Init_Array()
#    {
#      ...
#      rb_define_method(rb_cArray, "flatten", rb_ary_flatten, 0);
#
# Here RDoc will determine from the rb_define_method line that there's a
# method called "flatten" in class Array, and will look for the implementation
# in the method rb_ary_flatten. It will then use the comment from that
# method in the HTML output. This method must be in the same source file
# as the rb_define_method.
#
# The comment blocks may include special directives:
#
# [Document-class: <i>name</i>]
#   This comment block is documentation for the given class. Use this
#   when the <tt>Init_xxx</tt> method is not named after the class.
#
# [Document-method: <i>name</i>]
#   This comment documents the named method. Use when RDoc cannot
#   automatically find the method from it's declaration
#
# [call-seq:  <i>text up to an empty line</i>]
#   Because C source doesn't give descripive names to Ruby-level parameters,
#   you need to document the calling sequence explicitly
#
# In addition, RDoc assumes by default that the C method implementing a
# Ruby function is in the same source file as the rb_define_method call.
# If this isn't the case, add the comment:
#
#   rb_define_method(....);  // in filename
#
# As an example, we might have an extension that defines multiple classes
# in its Init_xxx method. We could document them using
#
#   /*
#    * Document-class:  MyClass
#    *
#    * Encapsulate the writing and reading of the configuration
#    * file. ...
#    */
#
#   /*
#    * Document-method: read_value
#    *
#    * call-seq:
#    *   cfg.read_value(key)            -> value
#    *   cfg.read_value(key} { |key| }  -> value
#    *
#    * Return the value corresponding to +key+ from the configuration.
#    * In the second form, if the key isn't found, invoke the
#    * block and return its value.
