Doxygen warning: documented function not declared or defined
c++, doxygen, warnings
Solution
My guess is that Doxygen is not parsing the `Analysis/Accept.h` header file, so it's not seeing the `Analysis` class declaration. In the output log, check that `Analysis/Accept.h` is indeed being processed.
To ensure that Doxygen parses the `Analysis` directory, you may have to add additional source directories in Expert->Input (in the Doxygen GUI frontend), and/or enable the Recursive option. Perhaps you have to specify a source directory one level above the one you've currently specified.
Problem
I'm trying to use Doxygen for the first time. On running Doxygen, I am presented with a large number of warnings of the following form: <code>.cxx:<line number>: warning: documented function `<function>::<function>' was not declared or defined. I'm not sure how to approach the problem. I'm working with a large C++ package and this type of warning is thrown up a few hundred times on running Doxygen. Here's more specific information: example warning: ``` Accept.cxx:14: warning: documented function `Accept::Accept' was not declared or defined. ``` corresponding example section of code: ``` #include "Analysis/Accept.h" #include "Analysis/Cutflow.h" #include "GlaNtp/GlaUtil/Steer/Steer.h" #include <iostream> Accept::Accept(unsigned int cutmask, unsigned int invertword, StringIntMap* CutTypeMap, Cutflow* analysis_cutflow): m_cutmask(cutmask), m_invertword(invertword), m_cutword(0),m_cutword_set(false), m_CutTypeMap(CutTypeMap), m_analysis_cutflow(analysis_cutflow){ // this is constructor InitBitOrder(); } Accept::~Accept(){} void Accept::setCutWord(const unsigned int &cutword){ m_cutword_set = true; m_cutword = cutword; } bool Accept::didBitPass(){ //std::cout << "Rick Evnt Pass: " << rickTestCutWord() << std::endl; return testCutWord(); } void Accept::InitBitOrder(){ Steer* bitorsteer=new Steer(); std::string configfile="ConFigFiles/ApplyBits/BitOrderConfigurationFile.txt"; if(!bitorsteer->ReadFile(configfile)){ std::cout << "Fatal ERROR: Failed to read Bit Order configuration steering file: " << configfile << std::endl; delete bitorsteer; bitorsteer=0; exit(1); } m_bitOrderMap = new StringIntMap("BitOrder", bitorsteer);// bit order delete bitorsteer; } ``` I would appreciate any assistance you might have in pointing me in the right direction. Preemptive thanks
