Hello. I'm sending this report here because I tested in GNU Emacs 26.1.50 and the problem is not present. If it belongs to the CC Mode mailing list, please let me know.
I run: emacs -Q and visit a C file.
Inside a function that doesn't return a pointer, c-display-defun-name works just fine. Example:
int
dummy_returnint(int ret)
{
return ret;
}
Minibuffer displays: dummy_returnint
But when the function returns a pointer, c-display-defun-name fails to display the function name in the minibuffer. Example:
int *
dummy_returnpointertoint(int *ret)
{
return ret;
}
Minibuffer displays nothing
CC mode version is 5.33.1 in both.
