Description Jonathan Schleifer 2009-04-23 12:44:04 UTC
When generating documentation for Objective C, Bugzilla ignores Categories.

For example, you have the class Foo in Foo.h. The interface is:

@interface Foo: Object
- foo;
@end

Now you have for example a Bar.h and a Bar.m file that extend the Bar functionality to Foo. The interface looks like:
@interface Foo (Bar)
- bar;
@end

If you generate documentation using doxygen now, bar isn't documented anywhere.

s/Bugzilla/Doxygen/ of course oO.
Comment 2 Nikita Zhuk 2011-03-04 06:52:32 UTC
I'm seeing the same behavior in the latest Doxygen (v1.7.3). All categories which don't have a space before the first parenthesis are documented correctly, but categories with (at least one) parenthesis are not. So:

// Works as expected
@interface Foo(Bar)
- bar;
@end

// Isn't documented
@interface Foo (Bar)
- bar;
@end

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!
