38: void gi_marshalling_tests_int8_in_max (gint8 int8);
39: void gi_marshalling_tests_int8_in_min (gint8 int8);

41: void gi_marshalling_tests_int8_out_max (gint8 *int8);
42: void gi_marshalling_tests_int8_out_min (gint8 *int8);

44: void gi_marshalling_tests_int8_inout_max_min (gint8 *int8);
45: void gi_marshalling_tests_int8_inout_min_max (gint8 *int8);

If that was the case, why aren't there complaints about lines 38 and
39?

And, how do I find out what command is invoked to generate these
syntax errors?
