gtk-doc doesn't understand the '[][4]' part.

You could try changing the perl regular expressions so it matches.
Maybe this will work, I'm not sure:
(I just changed the '?' to a '*' after the "(\[\d*\])" )

You'd probably need to change this in a few other places as well.
Send me a patch when it works ;)

I'm not sure where the problem is here.
What is output in the tmpl/ file for this function?
(i.e. does it include the void* return value, or has that been dropped?)
