Description
Feature Request
For example Raylib headers have descriptions of functions on same line as declarations.
But instead hover hints displays only comments that are above declaration.
Same with IntelliSense.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with Raylib headers that place doc comments on the same line as declarations, then trace the C/C++ IntelliSense hover and completion documentation handling. Done means same-line comments appear in both hover hints and IntelliSense, matching comments placed above declarations.
