How do I document code with Doxygen/Sphinx+Breathe?

Keywords: Doxygen, Sphinx, Breathe, Documentation, Code

Doxygen is a powerful documentation generator that works with various programming languages, including C++. Sphinx, on the other hand, is a documentation generator that primarily targets Python but can also work with C++ using the Breathe extension, which allows you to integrate Doxygen-generated XML documentation into Sphinx.

Here is a simple example of using Doxygen to document a C++ class:

/** * @file example.cpp * @brief Example class demonstrating Doxygen documentation */ /** * @class Example * @brief This class demonstrates how to document a C++ class with Doxygen. * * This class includes a simple function to add two integers. */ class Example { public: /** * @brief Adds two integers. * @param a The first integer. * @param b The second integer. * @return The sum of a and b. */ int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } };
