digitalmars.D.bugs - DDoc generation at module level

reply Derek Parnell <derek psych.ward> writes:
The following code generates the 'DATE' output correctly ...

 /**
 *   Summary text
 */

 /**
   date: Sep 20, 2005
 */

 module doctest;

However, the following code fails to generate the 'DATE' output ...

 /**
 *   Summary text
 */

 module doctest;

 /**
   date: Sep 20, 2005
 */


In fact, it appears that no module-level documentation is generated after
the first non-documentation text occurs.


This is a problem because it makes the version statement useless for
generation.  Eg...

version(XYZ)
{
   /****
     Licence: whatever ...
   */
}

Actually, module-level documentation is all the documentation comments that appears before the module declaration. I believe this is as it should be, as documentation attached to another declaration should be for that declaration, not the module.

How I stumbled across this effect was when I used a version statement to generate alternate documentation. For example .... version(Windows) { /** . . . */ } else { . . . } -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia 24/09/2005 6:14:02 AM
