[Doxygen-users] Dollar signs in function names

[Uwe S. <u.s...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to document C code with doxygen for an OpenVOS System. 
There, they are using a special C dialect ("VOS C"). 

For the system there I am working on there exist so-called system 
subroutines. These subroutines are basically simple C-functions. 
But to distinguish them from "normal" functions, they all have 
the common name style "s$foo_bar". Note the Dollar sign!

See this link [*] for a list of common Stratus subroutines.

Unfortunately, doxygen can not handle them correctly. Here is an
example to test this for your own:
1: Generate a Doxyfile with "doxygen -g"
2: Set EXTRACT_ALL to YES
3: Do echo "void s$foo_bar();" > foo.c
4: Run doxygen.

Now, the HTML output of doxygen tells me that this function
declaration is in the source code:
"void s 	$foo_bar ()"

One can even better realize what's going on when activating
"SOURCE_BROWSER = YES" in Doxyfile. Then, you can click only on 
"$foo_bar" when you open the xource code page in your web browser.
What I would expect here is "s$foo_bar" as the (clickable) function 
name.


Can this be solved somehow? I wouldn't say that this is a bug 
because VOS C is a rare C dialect. But I would like to know if 
Dollar ($) signs in C function names can be correctly parsed by 
Doxygen somehow.


Thanks for any help
Uwe
