[Doxygen-develop] Going to make changes to doxygen

[Carlo W. <ca...@al...>]

Hiya,

I just decided to spend some of my time on doxygen,
and therefore subscribed to doxygen-develop.

Normally I first ask what is the chance that a patch
will be added, but in this case I need the patch
hard enough to make it worthwhile if only I would
be one who'd use it, so I'll write it anyway ;).

The first thing I plan to write is a better support
for namespaces:

Instead of searching global namespace only, I want
doxygen to search the _current_ namespace first,
and then the global namespace.  Thus:

class FOOBAR;

namespace n {
  class FOOBAR;

  /**
   * A pointer to class FOOBAR.
   */
  FOOBAR* p;
}

Should generate documentation with a link
to n::p and not ::p.

My plans so far are:

0) subscribe to this list and introduce myself.
1) checkout the latest CVS, configure and compile it
   and create a test environment that I can work with.
2) read the documentation on www.doxygen.org for
   developers.

I am afraid I am not very good at introducing myself
so you might want to read the 1116 pages that show up on
http://www.altavista.com/sites/search/web?q=%22Carlo+Wood%22+AND+NOT+Vendors&kl=XX&r=&d2=0&d0=&d1=&nbq=20&pg=aq&search=Search
or perhaps just the links of my introduction at the bottom
of http://www.gnu.org/people/people.html
