How to avoid Doxygen inserting a newline between period and paren? - doxygen

Here is the input comment:
/** #page foo_test
1.2.(3).4
*/
Desired result:
1.2.(3).4
Actual result:
1.2.
(3).4
Does anybody know why Doxygen does this and how I can make it stop? Substituting in [] or {} does not change the behavior.

Doyxgen onetime macro expansion / expansion command

I have some code like the following example:
/** #file HelloPi.c */
/** The definition of pi */
#define PI 3.1415
/** #brief The main function.
* #details Prints the value of #PI, which is actual defined as 3.1415. */
void main()
{
printf("The value of pi is %f\n",PI);
}
In my doxygen dokumentation I would like to to have NO macro expansion for PI (and other defines) in general.
But on one paragraph in the documentation I need the value of pi (e.g. #details description of the main function).
Is there any possibility to expand the macro at this single part of documentation with a command or something? Something like /** #details ...the value of #PI is $(PI).*/
I only know the build-in MACRO_EXPANSION tag which works for the whole documentation: https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/preprocessing.html :-/
Thanks for help :)

Edit:
Add an other example which maybe better describes my Problem:
/** #file ErrorHandling.c */
#define ERR_CODE_POWERUNIT 1001 ///< Error in power unit */
/** #page errors
* [value of ERR_CODE_POWERUNIT ] means \copybrief ERR_CODE_POWERUNIT */
void errHandler(int error)
{
if(error=ERR_CODE_POWERUNIT)
printf("Error %d occur\n",ERR_CODE_POWERUNIT);
}
In the documentation I would like to have:
"1001 means Error in power unit"
In doxygen there is no possibility to do a conversion of a predefined variable (only) in the documentation.
You used in your documentation the an environment variable $(PI) but ths is quite cumbersome as you have to st the environment variable each time.
A better solution would be to use an ALIASES like:
ALIASES += pi=3.1415
or
ALIASES +\= "The value of PI = 3.14159265359..."
with which you define a command \pi that can be used in the documentation and will be replaced with the text / commands in the alias.
/** #details ...the value of #PI is \pi.*/
would result in something like (by head:
...the value of #PI is 3.1415

Doxygen missed entries (depending on order)

Want to generate html-documenation from a documented c-header. But I have a strange problem with doxygen:
Some entries (enums, structs, ..) are missed in the html. If I reorder one of the missed entries (put them among two others that are already displayed, than it will shown too ?!?
Is there a rule for the order of entries? If so, can I disable this rule?
Use 1.8.11 in Linux and latest (1.8.14) in Windows.
As for example I have a few structs a,b,c,d , and struct d struct is part of c.
In "C" I need to write d before c, otherwise I get compiler error. But doxygen - for some strange reason lists c only if it is located before d. So either I can compile or have a complete documentation.
I created a small example and with this example I do see all elements:
/** \file */
/** docu structure a */
struct a
{
/** docu member a */
int mem_a;
};
/** docu structure b */
struct b
{
/** docu member b */
int mem_b;
};
/** docu structure d */
struct d
{
/** docu member d */
int mem_d;
};
/** docu structure c */
struct c
{
/** docu member c */
int mem_c;
/** docu structure inside c */
struct d str_d;
};
I have used a default Doxyfile (doxygen -g).
The header file was quite large - to large to post it here - so I tried to reduce it and found the issue. The struct that will not displayed has a #code blabla statement in its doxygen header but it needs an #endcode (that was missed). Sorry for this false alarm. Thanks to albert, for this help. Asking the right questions helps too!

Automatic insertion of multiline declaration comments

Have anybody extended comment-dwim to automagically insert a multi-line comment like
/** ...
*/
void foo
{
}
if the cursor is currently in front of a function/variable definition/declaration?
I realize that the challenge here is context detection; could a call to end-of-defun() followed by a call to beginning-of-defun() be used here?

Using " 's " after a Doxygen identifier

I'm writing the documentation of a C project using Doxygen.
In the documentation of a function, one can refer to an argument of the function using \p. I want to use the " 's " possessive idiom in my text, e.g. writing the object's name. Here is a code sample that triggers the issue:
/**
* #file
* #brief Main C entry point
* #author Vincent Siles
*/
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct {
int foo;
int bar;
} foobar;
/**
* #brief blabla
*
* toto \p in's field foo.
* toto \p in 's field foo.
*
* #param in input
*/
void test(foobar *in)
{
printf("%d %d\n", in->foo, in->bar);
}
int main(void)
{
foobar xxx = { .foo = 0, .bar = 0};
test(&xxx);
return 0;
}
The generated HTML features:
<p>blabla </p>
<p>toto <code>in's</code> field foo. toto <code>in</code> 's field foo.</p>
As you can see, both <code> parts are unsatisfactory: the first one has the " 's " inside it and it feels wrong, and the second one has an additional space.
In this case, I could rephrase into the field of \p in, but that's not always possible. Is there a way to output <code>in</code>'s field ?
For the record, I'm using version 1.8.11, and I have this issue with the default configuration, created by doxywizard + optimize for C/PHP. The full configuration can be found here.
It is not possible with the \p command.
However, as a workaround you can use `in`'s instead of \p in's.
But note that it might look a bit weird since the <code>in</code> part will use a different font as the 's which therefore might appear bigger or smaller:

Make Doxygen document a struct/class defined inside a macro call

I have this PACKED macro, that receives a struct definition and returns it with a compiler annotation to make it packed.
For example:
/**
* ...
*/
PACKED(struct A {
/**
* ...
*/
int x;
});
I have tried several Doxygen options to include that documentation, but I've had no success so far. Closest I've come up with is this:
ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES
PREDEFINED = PACKED(type)=type
MACRO_EXPANSION = YES
But that messes up the struct and members' documentation (confirmed via doxygen -d Preprocessor).
Ideas?
Turns out it's a bug in Doxygen.
One possible workaround is to use #class, and so on.
