Auto generate comments (documentation) for functions in eclipse CDT
eclipse, eclipse-cdt
Solution
If you want the automated filling in of parameters etc, like Eclipse for Java does.
Open your project properties. Then C++ General. Then select Doxygen as your documentation tool. The type /** as you did to get the fully filled comment.
Problem
I am using eclipse Juno with CDT. I have written a function in a cpp file and I want to add comments for the function. Does CDT supports Auto generate comments by "typing /** then press enter"? In my case the auto generated comments are only as follows. ``` /** * */ ``` As explained here, I even configured to use Doxygen support.Go to C/C++ -> Editors -> Documentation Tool Comments: Doxygen. I still get the comments as mentioned above. How can I configure eclipse to add comments of my own style? I changed comments even in Code templates. Go to C/C++ -> Code Style -> Code templates -> Comments. I changed Types, Fields, Methods. Still there is no luck for me. Can someone assist me on this? Thanks, Ravi
