 /**
- * @brief Default stack allocator allocate for idle handler.
- *
- * The allocate for idle handler is optional even when the user thread stack
- * allocator and deallocator are configured.
+ * @brief Default stack allocator allocate for IDLE threads.
  *
  * The default allocator for IDLE thread stacks gets the memory from a
  * statically allocated area provided via confdefs.h.
  *
- * @param cpu_index Index of the CPU for the IDLE thread using this stack
- * @param stack_size The size of the stack area to allocate in bytes.
+ * @param cpu is the index of the CPU for the IDLE thread using this stack.
+ *
+ * @param stack_size[in] is pointer to a size_t object.  On function
+ *   entry, the object contains the size of the stack area to allocate in
+ *   bytes.
  *
- * @retval NULL Not enough memory (never returned).
- * @retval other Pointer to begin of stack area.
+ * @return Returns the pointer to begin of the allocated stack area.
