Re: [Doxygen-users] hide undocumented enum

Hi all,

we see statements like this

[Peter Steiner]

quite often in the last months in this list and i've the impression
that they are still getting more. It seems as if most reported bugs
are features that were added in version XXX but disappeared again in
version XYZ.

This sounds as if there should be a regression test suite to protect
the great features that doxygen provides from disappearing
while adding further features. (As far as i can see no tests are part
of the doxygen sources.)

I have some experience with the great CppUnit test framework (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppunit, a port of JUnit) but i think
it would be too much work to instrument doxygen with more or less
complete unit tests.

Another, simpler possibility would be a collection of input files and
approved output files to compare to with 'diff' each time a code
change is made. To automate these tests shell scripts or dedicated
tools like dejagnu could be used.

What do you think about doxygen & tests?
