My recent change to check_GNU_style.sh (commit 1bbf98) introduces
false positives for declarations of functions with a pointer return
type. For example, in the following, the asterisk in the "void *"
return type is incorrectly diagnosed as a trailing operator:
-void
-foo (void);
+void *
+foo (int);
The patch below avoids those false positive for file-scope and
namespace-scope functions.
