[Doxygen-users] New project, and, Can Doxygen understand functions at namespace level?

[Phil E. <ped...@di...>]

First, I'd like to mention another project using Doxygen:  libstdc++-v3,
the GNU Standard C++ Library now shipping with GCC 3.0.  The documentation
is available via http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/ .

Much of the code does not yet contain special comments; the version for
3.0 available above is the uncommented EXTRACT_ALL=YES version which lets
you see all the messy details.  :-)


Anyhow... I'm trying to comment the code for use with EXTRACT_ALL=NO,
and am having problems with a template function at namespace level, using
doxygen 1.2.6.  The code looks like this:

  namespace std {

    /**
     *  ...some @-style tags in here...
     *
     *  The standard requires that the objects be passed by reference-to-const,
     *  but LWG issue #181 says they should be passed by const value.
     */
    template <class _T1, class _T2>
    #ifdef _GLIBCPP_RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS
    //181.  make_pair() unintended behavior
    inline pair<_T1, _T2> make_pair(_T1 __x, _T2 __y)
    #else
    inline pair<_T1, _T2> make_pair(const _T1& __x, const _T2& __y)
    #endif
    {
      return pair<_T1, _T2>(__x, __y);
    }

  }  // namespace std

Doxygen completely skips this function, no matter what I do.  However,
if I move the code into the global namespace rather than namespace std,
then make_pair correctly appears in the output.

What do I need to do for doxygen to see this function inside std:: correctly?


Many thanks,
Phil
