Summary: Ddoc should produce much better documentation Product: D Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: ddoc Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: a...@esperanto.org.ar Currently the documentation produced by ddoc is poor. It lacks many of the features modern documetantion systems like the ones of Java and C# provide. Some of these are: 1. Links to referenced symbols. 2. Supertype hierarchy of a class. 3. Direct known subclasses of a class. 4. Direct known subinterfaces of an interface. 5. All interfaces implemented by a class. 6. All classes that implement an interface. 7. Show documentation for symbols generated by mixins. 8. List of inherited methods. 9. Public imports exposed by a module. If "1" is not present, the phrase "navigating the documentation" just doesn't make sense. 2, 3, 4 and 5 allows you to quickly find a class that implements the functionality you are looking for. Otherwise it's impossible to (easily) search for implementations. Suppose you have an InputStream interface (like in Tango). This would allow you to find a specific InputStream for your needs (for example, where's the input stream to read a file, a socket, a string, etc.). 9 is also important because otherwise you have to look at the source code. The other points are also important for me, because it gives you a better overview of the symbols. You can see an example of a documentation that works like this here: phobos: http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/descent/ddoc/phobos/ Tango: http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/descent/ddoc/tango/ -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
