Re[1]: [cedet-semantic] Multiline Summary

[Eric M. L. <er...@si...>]

Hi,

  The eldoc adaptation semantic (in senator.el) uses `eldoc-message' to
display the string, so I was somewhat surprised that it wouldn't work.
(I was unaware of the feature to begin with.)

  I looked in eldoc, and it obeys the multiline flag before calling
eldoc-message.  As such, your solution mimics what eldoc is doing in
several places.  I will adapt your patch for the next version of
semantic (2.0 beta 1).

Thanks!
Eric
