Classdoc -- Automatic Documentation of C++ Classes
Abstract.
Classdoc is an AWK program that transforms C++ source code into UNIX
`man'-style documents. The purpose is to improve the readability of
C++ class documentation without the need for additional document
files. Classdoc achieves this by formatting and simple reordering of
the source code. The as yet non-existent paper describes the
capabilities and limitations of classdoc, underlying assumptions of
C++ programming style, and the usefulness of simple-minded parsing
relying on programmer cooperation.sy
Although Classdoc may be confused by some programming styles, and will
not understand many perfectly legal C++ header files, it should not
discard any useful information.
The distribution contains the following:
1. An AWK program (requires `nawk', GNU `gawk' or compatible).
2. A sample shell script + manual page.
3. This message.
4. Two test files (list.H and diagram.H) to demonstrate
a programming style `classdoc' understands.
