[Doxygen-develop] Support for C++ Template Classes

[Dirk R. <re...@ca...>]

	Hi everybody,

we're using templates pretty heavily, and some of their methods don't go 
well with doxygen.

We use a lot of template base classes that are specialized for different 
types (similar to vector<int>). To simplify things we use a lot of 
typedefs (like typdef vector<int> ivec). But given that they're just 
typedefs they don't show up in the class list or the inhertiance 
hierarchy, even though for all practical reasons they're classes. Any 
ideas how to make them show up as classes in an easy way? Right now the 
place to find them is in the namespace list, and that's not very intuitive.

The second problem, and that is hairier, is using mixins or traits. The 
basic idea is that classes are constructed as templates and are derived 
from one of their template arguments, or one of the arguments internal 
types. I can understand that this would be very hard to do right, but I 
would like to take a look at it anyway, and maybe kludge it. Can anybody 
give me a hint where and how doxygen stores template classes?

Thanks

	Dirk
