Can doxygen auto-update the \copyright text?

[Ed Jubenville]

I'd like use an alias to define my company's copyright, e.g., "ALIASES = my_copyright="\copyright blah blah blah". I want to ensure that all copyright notices are consistent, and can all be changed in one fell swoop by editing the alias. We recently went through a company name change, and all copyright notices were affected.

If I use a copyright alias, my source files would only contain "/// \my_copyright", not the actual copyright. How do other doxygen users solve this problem?

A tool that behaves somewhat like CVS/SVN keyword substitution could do the job. Those tools uses a delimiter syntax and can modify the source files. For example, "$Log: log data here $" would replace the old log data with the latest log data in. Can anything like that be done with doxygen? I know that doxygen is generally read-only with respect to source files, but maybe there is a way?

This can be done easy with a custom filter (see post Filters4Doxygen)

Using regexfilter.java you must build a file '.RGX' that contains the macro-replacements: e.g.

regex1=$my_copyright$
replacement1=\\copyright blah blah blah

You must also create a BAT (or sh) driver: see as example bat2dox.rgx
Associate you driver to all file you like update (C, C++, Java etc.)
This filter don't change line number so it is safe also with source pages.

I hope that can help
