Dear All,
Thanks to Reinhard, we have found a way to circumvent an annoying
bug in Doc++, which altered slightly Lorene's html documentation.
Indeed Doc++ does not distinguish overloaded methods
when the parameters of these methods are declared
'const'. Considerer the following example:
//----------------------------------
class A ;
class B ;
/** Class C
*/
class C {
public:
/// Constructor from A
C(const A&) ;
/// Constructor from B
C(const B&) ;
} ;
//---------------------------------
DOC++ gives the warning message
"Warning: ` C::C(const B&)' already have documentation, merging"
and produces the following incorrect output:
C(const B&)
Constructor from BConstructor from A
This bug is present in the current version (3.4.10) of Doc++,
as well as in the two previous ones (3.4.8 and 3.4.9),
but it did not exist in older versions (e.g. 3.2).
This bug has been already pointed out in March 2001 (see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/docpp/message/1028 )
but no fixing has been performed yet.
The way to circumvent the bug is to give a name
to the arguments in the prototypes, i.e. to declare
/// Constructor from A
C(const A& a) ;
/// Constructor from B
C(const B& b) ;
The header files of Lorene have been modified
accordingly and there is no longer any problem
in Doc++ documentation. So if you wish to have
a nice local documentation, please launch the
lorene_up command now (the online documentation
in http://www.lorene.obspm.fr/ is already fixed).
Best wishes,
Eric.
