[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Using your variable as a starting point, I found this :
for gtkdoc (default in C), regexp is :
    (c-font-lock-doc-comments "/\\*\\*$" limit
      gtkdoc-font-lock-doc-comments)

for javadoc, it's :
(c-font-lock-doc-comments "/\\*\\*" limit
      javadoc-font-lock-doc-comments)))))

Gtkdoc manual specifies :

A multiline comment that starts with an additional '*' marks a documentation
block that will be processed by the Gtk-Doc tools.

Shouldn't the regexp for gtkdoc be "/\\*\\*" then ? (without the $)
