I haven't used Doxygen on C++ for a few months now, but I think that it 
doesn't actually look at comments inside function definitions. If you 
put the todo above the main function then it will work.

e.g:


 /**!\brief entry point of applications
   *
   * some long description

  *\todo DOXYGEN SHOULD PICK THIS UP  <--- move here
   */

int main (int argc, char* argv)
{
  TestClass myTestClass;
  std::cout << myTestClass.GetValue() << std::endl;
  std::cout << myTestClass.GetAnotherValue() << std::endl; 
};


also re:

beware that this causes the todo to link to the documentation for the 
mValue variable (which may or may not have been what you were expecting?)
