Problem Description:

> In many situations it's very bad, that all entities are droped into one big list, you know, under the "Contents" tite, like this:

> >     CONTENTS

> >     Entry    Type Scope Shor Description
> >     b    function ...
> >     c    macro ...
> >     d    function ...
> >     e    package ...
> >     f    macro ...

> This would be much better in many cases:

> >     CONTENTS

> >     Packages

> >     Entry    Type Scope Short Description
> >     e    package ...

> >     Functions

> >     Entry    Type Scope Short Description
> >     b    function ...
> >     d    function ...

> >     Macros

> >     Entry    Type Scope Short Description
> >     c    macro ...
> >     f    macro ...

> A switch like -[no]grpbytype? I don't hink so, cos it's not enough generic (E.g. maybe an alphabetical index is required too). I think the real solution is to allow user to specify any number of tables, with custom grouping and title. Something like this:

> >     $ ccdoc ...  -table(type) "Contents" -table() "Index" ...
> >     (Note that I have skipped unimportant parts with ellipsis)

> It would generate two tables: one with title "Contents" and with grouping by entity type, and below another table with title "Index" without grouping (just an alphabetiacal index, like the table in the current version). I put the grouping condition into parenthesis to allow multi-level grouping for future developmens, like -contents(type,functionality).

> This is an interesting suggestion. The previous version of ccdoc did use to group by entity. I will revisit that decision.

Problem Description:

> The fix for issue 0054 only recognizes ccdoc style comments for the typedef, not for the structure.

> This occurs because ccdoc only associates comments with statements.

> In this case there is only one statement but it is clear that it could be broken into the struct definition and the typedef. It might be possible to modify ccdoc with a heuristic that recognizes this construct and breaks it into two.

> This is a low priority enhancement because this syntax is C artifact that is not necessary in C++ because the struct [name] declares [name] as a type.

Problem Description:

> Just an idea: Long entry name stretches the first column too much. In the worst case it makes the "Contents" table unusable, since it stretches the first column so much that there will be no sufficient space for the short description.

> A possible solution is to give a switch to specify the maximum entry name length, then break long names into two (or three, etc...) with an "\\<br>\\" in the HTML (to be more precise, with '\\</a><br>' + indent*'&nbsp;' + '<a href="' + relpath + '">\\' (two backslash in the HTML output, not C escaping of one backslash...))

> Ccdoc always reports methods as they appear in the original class specification and expects the user to understand how the access-specification changes if protected or private inheritance is used.

> This may be difficult for many users. I will look into changing this behavior or making it optional via a switch. Meanwhile, if you don't want the users to see the methods, you can work around this as follows:

Title: | Comment reuse for overloaded functions.

Reported On: | 2001/11/01

| Id: 0094 [Top] [Summary] [Next] [Previous]

Problem Description:

> Previously I suggested that you implement doc comment inheritance. If you decide to do so I have another suggestion.

> I believe that the javadoc rules says that a method must override a method in the ancestor class to reuse a doc comment. Doc comments cannot be reused for constructors, destructors etc.

> I find it quite tedious to write doc comments for constructors and destructors. It would save a lot of typing if one could reuse doc comments beween them.

> I can see that the implementation can be difficult, but there is another enhancement that could simplify a lot. Lets call it doc comment reuse of overloaded functions. There is no such thing in javadoc, but maybe there should be. I have read the javadoc spec over and over since I really believed there was such a rule, but there is no rule.

> #### Doc comment reuse of overloaded functions

> If an overloaded member function does not have a doc comment, and placed after a function it overloads, it will inherit the doc comment of that function. The names of the parameters of the overloaded functions must be same, only types may vary.

> The result is that one only needs to document the first function in a group of overloaded functions.

> #### Doc comment reuse of constuctors etc

> Hope that you will excuse me doing specification by example: If a member function (constructor, destructor, etc) uses the class name itself in the parameter list, a second "invisible" function is generated, replacing the current class name with a superficial "this". Using the superficial type "this" is good because it is a reserved word in C++ preventing any real class to be defined.

> If the original function has a doc comment the generated function will be placed after the original one, inheriting its doc comment using the rule for overloaded functions.

> If the original function doesn't have a doc comment, the generated one will be placed before the original one, allowing the original one to inherit from the generated one using the rule for overloaded functions.

> A code example:

> >     class Base
> >     {
> >             /** Default construcor */
> >             Base();

> I believe that ccdoc requires a fully qualified c++ class name if the reference is to another class. The javadoc spec relies on rules including the java compiler and I don´t believe that following their search patterns will add that much.

> However, it would be nice if the @see tag accepts valid c++ class names. Leaving out the namespace part if the referencing class belongs to the same namespace as the referenced class would be an improvement.

> I don´t think this improvement is very important since namespaces are quite short compared to java packages.

Problem Description:

> On a related note, I would like to talk to you about possibly supporting a feature in ccdoc to merge databases. We could really parallelize the process if we were not limited to having every ccdoc process write to the same database. For example, run the header processing on each of the 50 or so subsystems individually in parallel, run a (new) step to merge the resulting databases into 1, and then do the index/html steps. Does ccdoc have any capability like this? If not, what do you think of this idea? In general, long processes that are single threaded are what kill our build times, and ccdoc (the way we use it) at ~1 hour is in that camp.

IMO the best fix would be to accept any paths in either format on any platform, but I have no idea how tricky that would be to implement.

> I agree.

> How about adding this:

>             string  m_memberString;

> This makes sense as a shorthand but since you can workaround it by using the following syntax. This modification will be scheduled with a lower priority.

Problem Description:

> "Javadoc documentation is great and very handy to use".

> I agree. I will look into this in the near future. A couple of additional thoughts: 1) the new format should be switch controllable to avoid disrupting existing clients, 2) the new format may be higher priority than the XML release (this needs to be investigated).

Title: | Allow users to customize ccdoc output using a CSS file.

Problem Description:

> Have you thought, instead of giving color parameters etc. to ccdoc that it can make custom looking html you could give a custom tailored .css-file to ccdoc and it could generate html which uses a .css-file?

> I have not thought about it because I don't know much about style sheets but it sounds like a good idea.

Problem Description:

> Have you thought adding a change to translate contents of generated html? It would be nice, if ccdoc would read certain words like "class", "contents" etc. from a file which would be kind of resource file. If you change contents a file to f. ex. finnish, then you would have finnish documentation!

> The file (simple ex.) could have key-string pairs:

> >     file: ccdoc.en.language
> >       CLASS=class
> >       DESTRUCTOR=destructor

> >     file: ccdoc.fi.language
> >      CLASS=luokka
> >      DESTRUCTOR=tuhoaja

> Then you could generate english documentation: ccdoc -langfile ccdoc.en.language ... and finnish: ccdoc -langfile ccdoc.fi.language ...

Problem Description:

> Doxygen allows a virtual grouping of definitions that is very useful (@name and @{).

> I am all in favor of making ccdoc and doxygen style comments compatible so that users can use both of them. This change is a challenge because the syntax conflicts with a current ccdoc usage. I will look into it when I can.

Title: | In German we want to use embedded dots in the short description.

| Id: 0167 [Top] [Summary] [Previous]

Problem Description:

> I've found: another little problem. In German we write for the short form of "for example" "z.B.". ccdoc ignores silently the rest of the line after the B:

> --> in .h : /** das ist z.B. test */
> --> in .html : "das ist z.B" without the last point an the rest of the line

> Your example should work. This is a bug in ccdoc. It is supposed to terminate the short description after it encounters a dot that is followed by white space.

> For now you can workaround it by embedding trailing spaces before the last dot as shown below:

> --> in .h : /** das ist z.B . test */
> --> in .html : "das ist z.B. test"

Solution Description:

> Fixed in r39, verified by test 84.

> The short description string size was not updated properly in ccdoc::phase1::scanner_doc::add_line.
