I can't find mx on savannah.nongnu.org, do you have a direct link? I'd say that we don't develop that version, but maybe someone forked an old version at some time. > In light of the above, I wonder, are there any plans to switch to a different > code documentation system (doxygen?) or is the mx tool intended for future > development? Mx is mainly in use because of its macro expansion IMO. We're moving away from putting end-user documentation in the Mx-files. That said, it is much more favourable to use plain C-files when Mx macros aren't strictly necessary IMO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Monetdb-developers mailing list Monetdb-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/monetdb-developers
