From: Daniel Scally <dan.scally at ideasonboard.com>
The API reference pages generated by Doxygen are comprehensive, but
therefore quite overwhelming for application developers who will
likely never need to use the majority of the library's objects. To
reduce the complexity of the documentation, split it into two runs of
doxygen.
The first run of doxygen is for the public API. We pass a specific list
of source files to parse, which is built from the arrays of public
headers and sources in meson build files. This ensures that we only
generate the documentation for code from those files.
A custom Python script is needed to add the list of input files to
Doxyfile, as several of the objects included in the header and source
array are custom_tgt objects, which can't be handled as strings to
populate a variable in the configuration data.
The headers defining the Extensible and Object classes (class.h and
object.h respectively), as well as the corresponding source files, are
excluded from the public API documentation despite being referenced in
the meson public headers and sources arrays. This is due to the fact
that public API classes inherit from Extensible and Object, making the
Extensible and Object classes part of the public ABI. Those two base
classes are however implementation details and must not be accessed
directly by application code.
The second run of doxygen is for the internal API. This contains
documentation for all of the library's objects as it currently does.
This set will now be output into build/Documentation/internal-api-html.
