[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 4/5] libcamera: Documentation: Split public/private documentation

Daniel Scally dan.scally at ideasonboard.com
Fri Jan 5 17:41:03 CET 2024


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.

In the first run of doxygen we pass a specific list of source files
to parse, which is built from the File arrays in Meson's build files.
This ensures that we only generate the documentation for code from
those files.

In the second run allow doxygen to generate documentation for all of
the library's objects as it currently does. This set will now be
output into build/Documentation/internal-api-html.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Scally <dan.scally at ideasonboard.com>

Changes in v2:

	- Formatting fixes (Jacopo)
	- Phraseology (Laurent)
	- Switched to passing specific files to parse to doxygen rather than
	  relying on \internal to remove other docu-comments.
