DoxyPress

Introduction

DoxyPress is a modern C++ application for generating documentation from annotated sources and API documentation. DoxyPress and DoxyPressApp were initially derived from Doxygen and DoxyWizard.

Major Enhancements

Parsing

• User selection for full parsing of C and C++ with clang in lieu of the legacy lex parser
• Clang parser allows complicated modern C++ to be parsed accurately, especially as C++ is updated
• Added a new parser for makefiles
• Documents the following computer languages: C, C++, Objective-C, C#, Fortran, Java, IDL, Python, PHP, and TCL

Classes and Containers

• DoxyPress links with the CopperSpice libraries
• Removed all old Qt classes and containers
• Refactored to use value based containers instead of pointer based containers
• For improved memory management variadic templates and shared pointers are used
• Source code reformatted for improved readability
• Modified source code to use modern C++ functionality, features, and syntax

Output

• Project file format enhanced to use a JSON format for improved functionality
• Command line option to convert Doxygen project files to the DoxyPress JSON format
• Enhanced layout file to include new sections
• Major improvements to the html output for correctness

Binary Files

DoxyPress prebuilt binaries are available for all supported platforms.

System Requirements

Building DoxyPress requires a C++20 compiler and a C++20 standard library. You will also need a current copy of the CopperSpice libraries. DoxyPressApp links with CsCore and CsXml.

CMake build files are provided with the source distribution to build this application.

One additional requirement for building DoxyPress is the binary files for clang 18. The clang compiler must be built with RTTI enabled. Pre-built binary files are available for all supported platforms.
