GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 344860
Provide docs for inherited methods
Last modified: 2018-07-30 09:58:04 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.
This defect likely related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336023.
