How about instead ...

		if (show_warnings($type, $declaration_name) && $param !~ /\./) {			if ($decl_type eq "struct")
				$msg = "struct member";
			elif ($decl_type eq "union")
				$msg = "union member";
			else
				$msg = "function parameter";
			print STDERR "${file}:$.: warning: $msg '$param' not described in '$declaration_name'\n";
