[Doxygen-develop] How hard would it be to add support for managed C++ ?

[Philippe L. <phi...@ca...>]

Hi

Visual .NET introduces managed C++. It simplifies a lot of stuff for =
handling IDL and other nice little technologies like that.

The format is as follows

// IMerchant
[
	object,
	uuid("C158C40C-732A-46BA-8A01-F5D901D6E1D8"),
	dual,	helpstring("IMerchant Interface"),
	pointer_default(unique)
]
__interface IMerchant : IDispatch
{
	[propget, id(1), helpstring("property Name")] HRESULT Name([out, =
retval] BSTR* pVal);
	[propput, id(1), helpstring("property Name")] HRESULT Name([in] BSTR =
newVal);
	[id(4), helpstring("method Do")] HRESULT Do([in] BSTR* SomeInput, =
[out,retval] BYTE* result);
};


Basically, Microsoft added attributes inside [] that allow the =
developper to specify some meta-data about the methods (it's a property =
get, a property set, any help string associated with it, etc.).

I'm wondering how hard it would be to add support for managed C++ inside =
doxygen ?

I was going to write a program that would do search and replace inside =
an __interface block, however you seasonned developpers might know a =
better way to integrate this inside doxygen.=20

Any tips on how to proceed are welcomed.

Thanks
