[Doxygen-users] Patch for showing inherited members in a derived class

[Ted D. <ted...@ea...>]

Attached is a patch (for two files) that does the following:

1) Added a new configuration boolean value SHOW_INHERITED_MEMBERS 
2) If this value is set to YES, the main documentation page for a derived class will show all it's members - those defined in the class plus those inherited from any base classes.  In affect, this adds the items listed in the 'List of all members' link into the main docs for a class.  

To use the patch:
1) get the latest doxygen source from CVS
2) cd doxygen/src
3) patch < config.l-patch
4) patch < classdef.cpp-patch
5) rebuild

The patches were generated from the version of doxygen in the CVS repository as of 13-dec-2001 09:00 PST.

I've tested the patch for quite a few cases and it seems to work fine.  If you find any problems please let me know.  

Dimitri: Is there any chance this capability could be incorporated in the main doxgen code?

Ted,

I've applied this patch to the Debian 1.2.11.1 package (both hunks apply
with only a slight offset). This works great !

In fact, it would be absolutely perfect, if it showed (perhaps optionally)
an [inherited] tag next to the function declarator (or [inherited,inline] in
the case of inlines), but even in this state, I strongly vote for the
inclusion.

(yes, I know that it is possible to see that a member has been inherited,
since they're shown fully qualified. Making things explicit wouldn't be a
bad thing, though).

Dimitry, any comments ?

I like the idea as well, but the current patch (thanks Ted)
still has problems w.r.t. html labels, protection levels, and external 
references. I'm working on a more solid implementation at the moment.
