Description albert 2013-11-09 11:54:24 UTC 
Comment in the form of /**/ confuses doxygen. Replacing /**/ but /* */

Example file aa.h:

typedef struct tst
{
 int i; /**/
 int j; /**< documentation of j */
};

Used Doxyfile, standard without changes.

Error message:
.../aa.h:6: warning: File ended in the middle of a comment block! Perhaps a missing \endcode?

NOTE: This happens in the git version the default 1.8.5 is OK.
1.8.5 gives correct error message:
.../aa.h:3: warning: Member i (variable) of class tst is not documented.
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-11-11 19:38:38 UTC 
Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-12-24 19:00:03 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.6. 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 (preferrably in the form of a self-contained example).
Comment 3 albert 2013-12-29 17:44:01 UTC 
Problem does not appear in the 1.8.6 version
