Hello all,
I'm trying to get Doxygen to ignore an inheritance relationship when drawing
collaboration diagrams.
Let's say my class definition looks like this:
class Derived : public Base
{
int x;
int y;
int z;
}
Now, when I run Doxygen, I don't want to see Base class in the generated
collaboration diagram.
At first glance, it seems that the cleanest way to do this would be to use the
EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS directive in my Doxyfile. Specifically:
EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS = Base
However, I've found that this does not work: The Base class still shows up in
my collaboration diagram for Derived. I've tried this on both Doxygen 1.8.6 and
1.8.11 and with different permutations of Base wildcards (Base*, *as*, etc),
same behavior. The Base class always shows up in my collaboration diagram.
To be fair, I have found 2 workarounds, but they both involve putting
conditional statements into my code. For completeness, I'll include both here:
First Workaround Method:
class Derived :
#ifndef DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS
public Base
#endif /* DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS */
{
...
}
Then ensure that the following two directives are set inside the Doxyfile:
PREDEFINED = DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS
ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES
Second Workaround Method:
class Derived :
/// @cond DOXYGEN_IGNORE
public Base
/// @endcond
{
...
}
To be clear, these workarounds do indeed make Doxygen ignore the inheritance
relationship, but I'd prefer not to unnecessarily pollute my code base,
especially if there's a better / cleaner way to accomplish my goal.
My question is -- Why doesn't EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS make Doxygen ignore my Base class
when it draws the collaboration diagram?
