[Doxygen-users] Overridden selectors

[Alessandro A. <ant...@gm...>]

Hi, all.

I'm wonder how to do this kind of documentation correctly. The language is
Objective-C and this is my case.

I have an interface that implements a standard protocol. The declaration is
like this:

@interface MyInterface : NSObject < NSCopying > {
}
@end

'NSCopying' has the 'copyWithZone:' selector and it is implemented in
'MyInterface' implementation:

@implementation MyInterface
- (id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone
{
    // ... code removed for brevity
    return something;
}
@end

In Objective-C overridden selectors are not declared in the interface
declaration. So, what is the correct way to document the implementation of
'copyWithZone:'?  Since it is not declared in the 'interface' declaration it
is assumed by Doxygen to be a local selector. This is right. I don't want
local operations to show up in the documentation. But I do want some
overridden selectors to appear in the documentation. How could I accomplish
that?
