Description Matthias Klose 2005-06-22 21:17:26 UTC
Version details: 1.4.3-20050530
Distribution/Version: Debian

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/315205 ]

Package: doxygen
Version: 1.4.3-20050530-1
Severity: normal

When doxygen is set to produce XML output ("GENERATE_XML = YES" in
Doxyfile), the output is malformed. Specifically, an extra double-quote
(") is appended to the 'static' attribute of the 'memberdef' element.
Taking an example from doxygen's XML output for the ffmpeg source
tarball:

doxy/xml/ac3dec_8c.xml:      <memberdef kind="variable" id="ac3dec_8c_1a2"
prot="public" static="no"" mutable="no">

This makes the XML unusable by other tools.

How to reproduce:
1) Download http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/cvs/FFMpeg-current.tar.bz2 (or
any source package with doxygen comments and a Doxyfile)
2) Make sure 'GENERATE_XML' is set to 'YES' in the appropriate Doxyfile
3) Run doxygen.
4) grep "static=\"no\"\"" path/to/doxygen-output/*.xml

This problem does not occur when using doxygen built from
ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.4.3.src.tar.gz
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2005-06-23 20:11:46 UTC
This problem was indeed introduce after 1.4.3 but has been fixed in the latest
CVS version.
