libopencm3 Documentation
12 October 2012 (C) K Sarkies
-----------------------------
Each family and subfamily of devices has a separate directory and configuration
files. Doxygen is run independently on each of these and the result is
integrated under a single HTML page. LaTeX and pdf files are produced
separately. Due to relative referencing used in the files, the directory
structure is important and should be maintained.
Each of the subdirectories has a configuration file, a layout file and
subdirectories for the documentation. Doxygen is intended to be run inside
these subdirectories. The Makefile will handle this in the appropriate
order.
Markup
------
Each family has been given a group name that will allow subgrouping of API
functions and defines in the documentation.
The header and source files for each peripheral in each family must have a
heading section in which an @defgroup defines the group name for the particular
peripheral. This group name will be the same across all families as each one
is documented separately. Thus for a peripheral xxx the header will have a
group name xxx_defines and the source file will have xxx_file. This will allow
the group to appear separately. An @ingroup must be provided to place the group
as a subgroup of the appropriate family grouping. Note that @file is not used.
The heading section must include the version number and date and authors names
plus a license reference. Any documentation specific to the family can be
included here. If there are common files included then their documentation will
appear in a separate section.
Common header and source files that are included into a number of families must
have an @addgroup to include its documentation into the appropriate peripheral
group. These headings may include authors and any specific descriptions but the
date and version number must be omitted as it will be included from the family
files. There must not be any reference to family groupings as these common files
will be incorporated into multiple family groups.
The common files should not be included in an application explicitly. Also the
doxygen preprocessor must be enabled to ensure that all macros and defines are
included. This means that common header files need to have a section at the top
of the file of the type (eg for gpio_common_f24.h):
/** @cond */
#ifdef LIBOPENCM3_GPIO_H
/** @endcond */
and at the end of the file:
/** @cond */
#else
#warning "gpio_common_f24.h should not be included explicitly, only via gpio.h"
#endif
/** @endcond */
This will stop the compiler preprocessor from including the common header file
unless the device family header file has also been included. The doxygen
conditional clauses are needed to stop the doxygen preprocessor seeing this
statement and so excluding processing of the common file contents.
/** @cond */
#if defined(LIBOPENCM3_GPIO_H) || defined(LIBOPENCM3_GPIO_COMMON_F24_H)
/** @endcond */
Each helper function must have a header with an @brief, and where appropriate
additional description, @parameter and @return elements. These latter must
describe the allowable parameter ranges preferably with reference to a suitable
define in the corresponding header file.
The Doxyfile for a family must include input files from the header and source
subdirectories, as well as all needed common files. The common files can be
added separately or as an entire directory with exclusions of inappropriate
files.
Doxyfiles
---------
Doxyfile_common holds global settings.
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY blank so that the output is placed in the current directory.
RECURSIVE = NO
EXTERNAL_GROUPS = NO
Each Doxyfile_include for a processor family has:
@INCLUDE = ../Doxyfile_common
INPUT = specific directories needed, including /include/libopencm3/cm3
in top directory to set the top level page and GNU license.
LAYOUT_FILE = DoxygenLayout_$processor.xml
WARN_LOGFILE = doxygen_$processor.log
TAGFILES = ../cm3/cm3.tag=../../cm3/html
GENERATE_TAGFILE = $processor.tag
PREDEFINED = list of macro definitions
For the top level Doxyfile
INPUT = ../include/libopencm3/docmain.dox to add in the main page text
LAYOUT_FILE = DoxygenLayout.xml
WARN_LOGFILE = doxygen.log
TAGFILES = cm3/cm3.tag=../cm3/html plus all families to be included.
Generation of PDF
-----------------
The needs for pdf documents differ from HTML so separate Doxyfile_latex
files are provided.
@INCLUDE = ../Doxyfile_common
GENERATE_LATEX = YES
GENERATE_HTML = NO
