The arrow is labelled with the template parameters of the instance./** * * * FlipFlop * * Flip-Flop implementation. How to include comment blocks starting with //. Modify configuration file to include PREDEFINED parameter: ENABLEPREPROCESSING YES MACROEXPANSION YES EXPANDONLYPREDEF YES PREDEFINED 'DOXYGEN1'. Sometimes leaving a blank line in the input does the trick. Not sure if it is a best option, but you can use the approach below. You can do this in several ways, depending on the situation. The arrow is labelled with the variable(s) through which the pointed class or struct is accessible.Ī yellow dashed arrow denotes a relation between a template instance and the template class it was instantiated from. The doxygen tool produces HTML files, and because of the way whitespace is treated in HTML you may from time to time have to 'force' line breaks in your HTML output files. It however does not address any of the other previously mentioned areas of difficulty.

For API-reference style documentation, it is the perfect tool. The excellent doxypy makes it possible to embed Doxygen commands in Python docstrings, and have those docstrings converted to Doxygen-recognized comments on the fly per Doxygen’s regular input filtering process. Doxygen accepts comments with additional slash as Doxygen comments. Doxygen has been the defacto standard tool for annotating C++ code and generating HTML documentation for many years. Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a source code example. Today we will look at modern documentation tools. Inside doxygen comment blocks all normal doxygen markings are supported. The generated documentation makes easier to navigate and understand the code as it may contain all public functions, classes, namespaces, enumerations, side notes and code examples. A graph is truncated if it does not fit within the specified boundaries.Ī blue arrow is used to visualize a public inheritance relation between two classes.Ī dark green arrow is used for protected inheritance.Ī dark red arrow is used for private inheritance.Ī purple dashed arrow is used if a class is contained or used by another class. The suite of modern code documentation tools: Doxygen, Sphinx, Breathe, Exhale. The Doxygen code documentation system uses C or C++ style comment sections with special markings and Doxygen-specific commands to extract documentation from source and header files. Doxygen is a tool that can generate project documentation in html, pdf or Latex from code comments formatted with Doxygen markup syntax. It does this from a set of documented source files. dont mix // in the middle of the /// section. The boxes in the above graph have the following meaning:Ī filled gray box represents the struct or class for which the graph is generated.Ī box with a black border denotes a documented struct or class.Ī box with a gray border denotes an undocumented struct or class.Ī box with a red border denotes a documented struct or class forwhich not all inheritance/containment relations are shown. Doxygen is a documentation tool that creates reference material both online in HTML and offline in Latex. Have a completely separate comment section with only // - i.e.
