Missing sections in API documentation

Open wpiet opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Apparently, there is an issue with doxygen groups (Breathe's .. doxygengroup:: directive) used for embedding doxygen comments in the documentation.

If there are nested groups in some header file, referencing an outer group in RST file produces documentation only for this explicitly referenced group, excluding nested groups defined in the same scope.

Example: apache-mynewt-core/kernel/os/include/os/os_cputime.h contains a group OSCPUTime wrapped around the whole file. In that group there is another one OSCPUTime_cmp_macros. The outcome in API section is that the macros part is not documented at all.

I tried adding :inner: option to the directive, as described here, but it did not work.

Possible fix: Either add all groups explicitly to relevant RST files or change doxygen comments directly in header files, adjusting the groups - if possible.
