/*! \page trouble Troubleshooting
Known problems:
- Doxygen is not a compiler, it is only a lexical scanner.
This means that it can and will not detect errors in your source code.
- Since it impossible to test all possible code fragments, it is
very well possible, that some valid piece of C/C++ code is not handled
properly. If you find such a piece, please send it to me, so I can
improve doxygen's parsing capabilities. Try to make the piece of code
you send as small as possible, to help me narrow down the search.
- Using declarations and directives are not yet. They are
simply ignored.
- Doxygen does not work properly if there are multiple classes, structs
or unions with the same name in your code. It should not crash however,
rather it should ignore all of the classes with the same name except one.
- Some commands do not work inside the arguments of other commands.
Inside a HTML link (i.e \...\) for instance
other commands (including other HTML commands) do not work!
The sectioning commands are an important exception.
- Redundant braces can confuse doxygen in some cases.
For example:
\verbatim
void f (int);
\endverbatim
is properly parsed as a function declaration, but
\verbatim
const int (a);
\endverbatim
is also seen as a function declaration, because only the syntax is analysed,
not the semantics. If the redundant braces can be detected, as in
\verbatim
int *(a[20]);
\endverbatim
then doxygen will remove the braces and correctly parse the result.
How to help
The development of Doxygen highly depends on your input!
If you are trying Doxygen let me know what you think of it (do you
miss certain features?). Even if you decide not to use it, please let me
know why.
Furthermore, I would appreciate a mail if you have found
a bug, or if you have ideas (or even better some code or a patch)
how to fix existing bugs and limitations.
