[Doxygen-develop] re: copydoc patch

[Iain B. <ia...@pc...>]

I have been trying to patch doxygen to extend the copydoc special
command (to copy any item, eg enums).  I am a programmer, but I'm stuck!
(not having much experience with other peoples' code)

I found where I think I need to make some mods, but I would appreciate
some pointers from here on (I realise that asking someone to do it for
me would probably never happen, but thats not what I'm asking, unless
you're really bored!)

I followed CMD_COPYDOC to 'void DocCopy::parse()' in docparser.cpp, and
then found 'findDocsForMemberOrCompound' and had a look at that
function.  But thats where I got lost.  It looks like
'findDocsForMemberOrCompound' returns true if copydoc references a
namespace, group, page or file, and false otherwise.  Is this correct?=20
How might I extend it for an enum?

I would greatly appreciate some help here, whatever you may be able to
provide.  I'm sure it would only take a few minutes for someone
experienced with the doxygen code.

Many TIA,
