The approach I've been using for a given header is to recursively do each
of the "bits" headers which make up the standard header. So, e.g., while
there are four headers making up <algorithm>, three of them were already
documented in the course of doing other headers.
"Untouched" means I've deliberately skipped it for various reasons, or
haven't gotten to it yet. It /will/ be done (by somebody, eventually.)
Area Still needs to be doxygen-documented
-----------------------------------------------------------
c17 FINISHED (Nothing in Clause 17 "exists" in terms of code.)
c18 <limits>, Note A
c19 Note A
c20 Note A
c21 Untouched, Note B
c22 Untouched
c23 See doxygroups.cc and Note B.
c24 Untouched
c25 stl_algo.h (lots of stuff)
c26 <complex>, <valarray>, stl_numeric.h[26.4], Note A
c27 Untouched
backward/* Not scanned by doxygen. Should it be? Doubtful.
ext/* Some of the SGI algorithm/functional extensions.
All of rope/hashing/slist need docs.
__gnu_cxx Tricky. Right now ext/* are in this namespace.
[1.3.5] "implementation-defined behavior: behavior ... that depends
on the implementation *and that each implementation shall
document*." [my emphasis] Not all implementation choices
have been thus described; doxygen is not necessarily the
appropriate place for such descriptions, either. I suggest
adding this list to the Chapter 17 HOWTO.
-----------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
A) So far I have not tried to document any of the <c*> headers. So entities
such as atexit() are undocumented throughout the library. Since we usually
do not have the C code (to which the doxygen comments would be attached),
this would need to be done in entirely separate files, a la doxygroups.cc.
B) Huge chunks of containers and strings are described in common "Tables"
in the standard. How to reproduce this information? I suspect we should
simply write some HTML tables (say, one <table> per Table per file), and
use doxygen hooks like @pre and @see to reference the tables. Then the
individual classes would do like the standard does, and only document
members for which additional info is available.
STYLE:
stl_deque.h, stl_pair.h, and stl_algobase.h have good examples of what I've
been using for class, namespace-scope, and function documentation, respectively.
These should serve as starting points. /Please/ maintain the inter-word and
inter-sentence spacing, as this might be generated and/or scanned in the
future.
