[Doxygen-users] DocJet versus Doxygen for MS IDL?

[Jake K. <jk...@bi...>]

Hi,

I have an interview later this week for a job that currently uses DocJet to document their MS IDL (COM development in C++).  I would
like to suggest maybe converting over to Doxygen, but I don't know what features/abilities they would gain or loose if they did
converted.

So has anyone ever used/compared DocJet from http://www.tall-tree.com/
Specifically to document MS IDL?  The way I understand it, tall-tree uses a filter/remapper to get comments out of the
machine/wizard generated IDL code, but it looks like param names must match the C++ code or DocJet could loose it's place, see:
http://www.tall-tree.com/docjet/Support/IDLRemap/index.html

- What features/abilities would one gain or loose if they did converted from DocJet to Doxygen?
- So is doxygen capable of documenting MS IDL completely?
- Can (how?) does it map the generated COM IDL to developer C++ classes?  (like DocJet Remap?)
- It looks like other have had unanswered question about treating IRecordPtr as an alias for IRecord?  Has anyone solved this?

Thanks for your time,
Jake
