preprocessor not handling object alias

[Chris Korda]

My C++ project uses a macro as an alias for a globally defined engine, for brevity. The macro definition is as follows:

#define gEngine theApp.m_Engine

This permits engine methods to be called as follows:

gEngine.foo();

Unfortunately such calls appear in the References section of class documents as just "gEngine." which is not correct. If I edit my source and replace gEngine.foo() with theApp.m_Engine.foo(), the references are OK.

My config file definitely has ENABLE_PREPROCESSING and MACRO_EXPANSION set to YES. Could I have found an actual issue with doxygen or am I missing something?

Best regards,

Chris
