I'd just like to chime in and say I see this kind of behavior too, and it's worse in 1.8.3.1 than it was in 1.6.3 (the version I was using prior to grabbing 1.8.3.1). I haven't chased it as carefully as Geoff here, but I can definitely say that I've seen both macros not getting expanded and apparent strange behavior regarding finding #included headers in my large project, that I have a hard time reproducing in a small repro scenario.

If I move the definition inside the source file it works. BUT it's not that simple. I've tried and tried to reproduce in a simple project but can't seem to get the problem to show itself in a simpler configuration. As an experiment, I put the macro in its own header file and placed it along side the other headers of the project. When I include that header file directly in the source then doxygen will expand the macro. If I include that header file from one of the other project headers (which is included in the source) then doxygen will NOT expand the macro. And the strangest one of all: The header file I called "testtemp.hpp" and it was expanding fine (when directly included) until I then created a source file called "testtemp.cpp" - and bang, suddenly doxygen stopped expanding the macro. That last one I tried after a look at the doxygen source, and I think it confirms my suspicion that doxygen is deciding NOT to expand my macro because it getting mixed up about file names. Now I can create a header just for this macro and remind myself to include it directly in all sources that need it, but the macro itself properly belongs in an existing header - it just won't work in doxygen when I put it there. I'm not really expect any response from the list, just venting my frustration. But if anyone does have any suggestions that would be great. -- Geoff Worboys Telesis Computing Pty Ltd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
