No documentation is generated for code following the use of a C++11 unified initializer:

/**

• foo
  */
  class foo {
  int x_;

public:
foo() : x_{42} {}

/**
 * f
 */
void f();

};

No documentation is generated for f(). However, if you use normal parentheses for initializing:

/**

• foo
  */
  class foo {
  int x_;

public:
foo() : x_(42) {}

/**
 * f
 */
void f();

};

Documentation for f() is generated.

Slightly Modified Sample

I find that the class gets defined, but function void f() is not defined in Doxygen when the newer C++11 syntax is used.

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next subversion update.

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.3. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.

I'm reporting it here - if necessary I can open a new bug, so please tell me if that would be preferable.

I'm using doxygen 1.8.8 on Arch Linux, so the bug is supposed to be fixed, but I'm experiencing the same thing as the one reported by first post. I'll attach a test-case (one header from a project and Doxyfile) that demonstrates this.

Shorter versions:

--->8--->8--->8--->8--->8--->8---

template
class FifoQueue
{
public:

...

/**

• \brief FifoQueue's constructor
  */

FifoQueue(Storage* const storage, const size_t maxElements) :
fifoQueueBase_{storage, maxElements, scheduler::FifoQueueBase::TypeTag{}}
{

}

/**

• \brief Pops the oldest (first) element from the queue.
  */

int pop(T& value)
{
return fifoQueueBase_.pop(value);
}

...

--->8--->8--->8--->8--->8--->8---

No documentation is generated after the constructor. If I replace this:

fifoQueueBase_{storage, maxElements, scheduler::FifoQueueBase::TypeTag{}}

with this:

fifoQueueBase_(storage, maxElements, scheduler::FifoQueueBase::TypeTag{})

then everything is fine.

If I replace the same line with this:

fifoQueueBase_{storage, maxElements}

or this:

fifoQueueBase_{storage, maxElements, scheduler::FifoQueueBase::TypeTag}

it also works.

This is not related to bug # 721462 - if I put anything in the TypeTag initializer, it still doesn't work.

So it seems that doxygen handles the new initializer syntax of C++11 only when there is no nesting, but doesn't like the idea of one initializer embedded in another initializer.
