Dear list,
now that we more or less agreed to use some new features (i.e. automatic free() when a
variable goes out of the scope [1]), and with our NEWS efforts, do you think it is finally
the right time to fix generation of our API docs too?
What I mean? Look here: [2] People use '@variable' notation hoping that the
generator will put a link there. Or that our generator would allow us to:
typedef enum {
A = X,
B = Y,
C = Z,
# ifdef VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS
VIR_ENUM_LAST
# endif
} virEnum;
where X, Y, Z come from another enum.
Long story short, our documentation generator has a lot of bugs. What if instead of
putting our effort in fixing it we would switch to something that is already available on
the market? gtk-doc, doxygen, etc. Personally, I don't have any preference. Just want
to know what your opinion is.
Again, if I get a green light I can put it onto the list of GSoC projects [3].
Michal
