[Doxygen-users] Problem parsing dashes.

[Scott F. <sco...@gm...>]

http://doxygen.10944.n7.nabble.com/Escaping-dash-td5790.html
User talks about having to make changes to code to handle two dashes ("--").
I ran into a variation of the same issue.

I was assigning to a variable a string value that contained a search 
pattern.

label_dbg_comment = "%s+--%s+"

Doxygen would stop process the file at this line.

I ended up having to change the string and print separate char values to 
satisfy both code execution AND doxygen output.

Does Doxygen not recognize the dashes are in quotes and should not 
process the string?
Is there something else that should be done in this instance?
