Anonymous enum issue

Hi Lori,

I need to give some name to the section. If you have a better name than "anonymous enum", please let me know.

The TOC entry is indeed wrong. I'll correct that in the next release. It will also appear as "anonymous enum" in the TOC.

OK, how about download_device_types for the enum name and the document title would be Download Device Types.

Hi Lori,

The problem with that name is that it is fine for your specific case, but not appropriate anywhere else.

I have another solution:

Why not put the following in the code:

#define DOWNLOAD_DEVICE_TYPES_ENUM
enum DOWNLOAD_DEVICE_TYPES_ENUM
{
  Val1,
  Val2
};

Because of the #define, the C compiler will parse this as an enum without name, e.g.:

enum
{
  Val1,
  Val2
};

Then you configure doxygen as follows:

ENABLE_PREPROCESSING   = YES
MACRO_EXPANSION        = YES
EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF     = YES
PREDEFINED             = DOWNLOAD_DEVICE_TYPES_ENUM:=download_device_types

This will make doxygen ignore the #define and parse the enum as:

enum download_device_types
{
  Val1,
  Val2
};

Would this be an acceptable solution for the case where an unnamed 
enum is required?

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.7.5. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.

Hey Dimitri, Sorry I dropped the ball on this. I sent to MK to see what he thought of your idea and he is not for doing this. So, not sure how to resolve this. For now we are manually changing the title in the tex files.
Guess we can drop this issue for now. Thanks, Lori
