Here another special Doxygen syntax is used which is the syntax. Doxygen calls these structural commands. There are several of them and the most useful ones are the following. File headers contain detailed description about a given file. This must be present at the top of every file which needs documentation. If there is no file header then Doxygen will not produce documentation for that file.
You can also add some description about the file to be shown in the Documentation as shown in the screenshot below. As you can see, the file name and description are placed on the documentation page generated for this example file main.
As we have seen above any function in a file can be documented by simply adding a Doxygen styled comment just above the function. Next lets see how to describe the arguments and return values. Consider the following 2 functions. Since the variable name radius is obvious to the reader of the code, I did not add the description. We have seen how to document modules files and functions inside a given file, next let us see how to use doxygen to document other entities like global variable, constants etc.
As we have already seen in the beginning of step 2, a simple one line Doxygen style comment is enough to document a global variable. To get around that problem Doxygen provides a second way of creating comments as shown in the screenshot below. If you look at the code, you may have noticed that instead of keeping the comments on top of the entity I have kept it at the right-hand side of the macro definition.
On Doxygen, we can also produce documentation pages which are not connected to any of our source files. These pages can be used to describe the project or individual modules. These are the normal pages. These will show in the first level of pages on your left-hand side of the tree view. The structural command to use for a Doxygen sub-page is subpage. I generally avoid sections and subsections as it increases the complexity of the documentation process. I like doing them with Markdown formatting options instead even if that will make it hard to interlink a section with another one.
I leave it up to you to decide for yourself if you need them in your particular project or not. There are several settings that can be configured to fine tune the output to just the way we want it to look like. For example consider the example below on how to create different levels of descriptions by tuning the settings of Doxygen. Here the description of the entity 2 function has been expanded to have multiple lines. Now running doxygen with default settings will produce a page like this.
As you can see above, there is no documentation next to entity2 function like entity1 variable has. By tuning the settings of Doxygen I have explained exactly how to do this in the following section you can make Doxygen parser to take the first sentence of the comment to be the brief description and the remaining sentences to be detailed description.
Once you have downloaded and installed Doxygen successfully, you can find an app Doxywizard. This will looks something like the below screenshot. Fixed my problem! V K V K 6 6 silver badges 13 13 bronze badges. This is not the intention of "Step 1: Specify the working directory from which doxygen will run". The doxygen executable should be available parallel to the doxywizard or in the path.
When specifying the place of the doxygen executable all other directories should be relative to this directory or be absolute paths. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

It looks like the settings don't arrive with the doxygen executable they are send to stdin of doxygen as doxygen is started as doxygen - , though type Doxyfile doxygen - does work, still investigating My first conclusion that type Doxyfile doxygen - works is not correct the fact that it did work for me was because of the small test Doxyfile I used After about characters the rest of the input from the Doxyfile is discarded in the 1.
Thanks, nice debugging work! So, currently the only solution is: Using the command line This function did not change between the 1. The buffer size was 1 byte too small it seems. The QCString implementation is since version 1. It looks to me that the problem has been solved. Just to note that this bug has broken all our builds as we pipe both the original and a variant doxyfile into doxygen so a swift release of the fixed version would be appreciated.
Just spent the last 3 hours trying to understand what is going on here I can make my project read the source files ONLY if I set the working directory to be the folder holding the source, which breaks all my configuration files.
I suspect that all pathing is broken in 1. I can survive with the command line ReggThims I'll see if I can make a bug fix release soon for this. This issue was previously marked 'fixed but not released', which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.
Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the issue if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information that you think can be relevant preferably in the form of a self-contained example. Skip to content. Star 3.
