The obvious solution for now is to remove the comments that are
getting falsely picked up as function definitions, but the better fix
is to the make-dissector-reg scripts. Is it valid for there to be two
register functions in a file, or could the scripts simply limit to one
entry per file? Or someone who groks the regexes could fix them to
ignore lines that are commented out...



See checkAPIs.pl for a regex & code which removes all the comments from a .c file before doing various checks...

To use those regexp's (or something like them) make-dissector-reg.py would need to be changed to read the whole file in as one big string (like checkAPIs.pl does); currently make-dissector-reg.py reads the files line-by-line.

Another quick way to avoid the problem is to unique-ify the lists as we sort them; r44952 does that.
