Question

I’ve got the following function prototype:

bool key_pressed(enum key key) const;

I documented it using doxygen. Now I have an overloaded version of that function that does the same, so I wanted to copy the doxygen comment like this:

/// @copydoc key_pressed(enum key) const
bool key_pressed(char key) const;

This does not work, I get the following warning from doxygen:

Warning: target key_pressed(enum key) const of \copydoc command not found

If I remove the const from key_pressed(enum key) and from the @copydoc line, it works.

Did I specify the modifier correctly in my copydoc command?

Answer 1

/// @copydoc key_pressed(enum key) const

Should this not be (enum key key)? Not that I would advise using the same name for the input parameter as the enum name…
