[Doxygen-users] XML output tag mismatch

[Smith, D. <smi...@ty...>]

Hi,

	I'm looking to use Doxygen's XML output to do some basic
code-metrics, and I was wondering if anyone had run into a tag mismatch.

	It appears that the XML output generated will contain the mismatched
tag pair: <exceptions></exception> for documented C++ functions using an
exception specification (e.g. "void foo() throw ()").


	Looking at the "doxygen-1.2.13.tar.gz" source collection (from the
010302 snapshot), the file "src\xmlgen.cpp" contains the lines (starting at
line# 1171)

---<snip>---
  if (md->excpString())
  {
    t << "        <exceptions>";
 
linkifyText(TextGeneratorXMLImpl(t),scopeName,md->name(),md->excpString());
    t << "</exception>" << endl;
  }
---<snip>---

	where a fix for the issue is to change them to

---<snip>---
  if (md->excpString())
  {
    t << "        <exceptions>";
 
linkifyText(TextGeneratorXMLImpl(t),scopeName,md->name(),md->excpString());
    t << "</exceptions>" << endl;
  }
---<snip>---


Many thanks for the excellent tool, and happy ongoing development.
