Doxygen incorrectly recognizes properties

Question

I have a definition in Objective-C that looks like this:

@property(nonatomic, retain) BOOL myProperty NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(3_2); 

When parsing this header file with Doxygen, it gets the type “BOOL myprop”, the name “NS_AVAILABLE_IOS” and the arguments as “(3_2)”.

Is there a way to get Doxygen to recognize this correctly without adding comments (I cannot modify the files)? Maybe this ignores the macro NS_AVAILABLE_IOS?

Answer 1

You must allow the doxygen preprocessor to remove the macro call. To do this, use the following configuration parameters:

 ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES MACRO_EXPANSION = YES EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES PREDEFINED = NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(x)= 

See http://www.doxygen.org/manual/preprocessing.html for more details.

Answer 2

Using

 @property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL myProperty; 

or

 @property (nonatomic, assign, getter=isWorking) BOOL myProperty;
