Hi Dimitri, Thanks for your response. I added the -d Preprocessor option, and captured the output to a file (our project is very large), and noticed this interesting phenomenon:
Early in the output, I see this message when preprocessing some files: #include object.h: not found! skipping... then later on, I see this message when preprocessing other files: #include object.h: already included! skipping... As you might surmise, "object.h" is where the troublesome macros are defined. It seems like doxygen's ability to locate header files is affected by the order in which files are discovered during the "Searching for files in directory..." stage of a recursive operation. Another case in point, many header files live in an "include/" directory, and doxygen can't find them when preprocessing files it found in directories that come before "include/". Do I need to mention these directories in INCLUDE_PATH? I was of the impression that INCLUDE_PATH was only for paths that were otherwise not found during recursion. For example, I exclude "*/drivers/*" but INCLUDE_PATH has "drivers/common/" because there are some important macros in a header file there, but overall I don't want docs for the files in "drivers/" I will try to create a small contrived example soon.

Most likely doxygen did't find the definitions of the macros (you can run doxygen with the "-d Preprocessor" option to see the output after preprocessing). I couldn't reproduce the problem based on your input. Can you make a self-contained example that shows the problem?
