When parsing a certain Tcl file, I noted that the majority of Tcl procs did not show up in Doxygens html output. I did some experiments and could drill it down to the following:



<some_file.tcl>
proc foo {} {
#       if { ($classifier_state == {{bphy} } ) } { OK
        if { ($classifier_state == {{bphy} }) } { ;# NOK
                puts "this proc is always shown in html output"
        }
}

proc bar {} {
        puts "this proc is not shown in html output in NOK case"
}



Note the subtle difference between the two 'if' statements: there is an extra space character between a '}' and the ')' in the 'OK' case.

Albert (albert.tests@gmail.com) investigated this phenomenon a bit further:

"What I do see is that an error is emitted saying:
Error 1184 .../some_notok.tcl() at line 2! expected word separator:
A quick test disabling the error message (setting the internal variable myWhite to 0) did have the effect that the foo function is shown, but as I don't know the background of the space requirement I cannot change it."

Albert advised me to file this bug.
