Description Thomas Zander 2006-06-14 09:53:12 UTC
INHERIT_DOCS

If I inherit from a class the INHERIT_DOCS will allow me to not type extra docs in the subclass.
This, however, does not work when the two classes are in different sections and a tagfile is used to determine the link.
For example;
file foo/A.h  contains a class A and a member virtual name();
file bar/B.h  contains class B which inherits from A and implements name().
I create tags for foo and generate bar as a second call to doxygen.

What happens is that if I look at the apidocs of B I will nicely see it inherits from A; but I will have error messages stating that B::name() is not documented.

My wish here is that doxygen will print something like
  'overruled member from _A::foo()_'
thus limiting my error messages and allowing me to click on the link to see the docs.

As discussed in https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/pull/734 , Doxygen has moved its issue tracking to 

   https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/issues

All Doxygen tickets in GNOME Bugzilla have been migrated to Github. You can subscribe and participate in the new ticket in Github. You can find the corresponding Github ticket by searching for its Bugzilla ID (number) in Github.

Hence I am closing this GNOME Bugzilla ticket.
Please use the corresponding ticket in Github instead. Thanks a lot!
