Description Chengwei Yang 2013-06-14 14:03:06 UTC
There are a lot of doxygen warning throw out by $make -C doc. The two patches try to fix some of them, especially for incorrect @param, missing params, non-exists params. These patches didn't document any new one.

Does doxygen have markup for "this is the name of a parameter", or failing that, "typeset this in monospace"? (In gtk-doc you'd use @limit).

I feel as though limit should be made to stand out from the text around it somehow, to make it clear that we're talking about the parameter of that name: if there isn't any conventional markup, maybe it could be emphasized or put in single quotes or something?

How is it returned? Is the previous content of the DBusString thrown away, or does this function append to it?

On Windows there are several file-like things: it might be a C runtime library file descriptor, it might be a Winsock socket file descriptor, or it might be a HANDLE. Which is this?

Done, "@a" used to put parameter into italic style.

Seems doxygen smart enough to handle "...", see the generated doc like

Parameters:
    severity	a severity value
    msg	        a printf-style format string
    args	arguments for the format string

All the others done in PATCH v2.

change in patch v3.

use "@p" instead of "@a" since it already used in some where else. Cut from doxygen doc

\p <word>

Displays the parameter <word> using a typewriter font. You can use this command to refer to member function parameters in the running text.

I have a limited amount of time to work on D-Bus, so I try to spend most of it on things that are higher-priority than the Doxygen, like fixing bugs/reviewing bugfixes. I'll review this stuff eventually, but please be patient.

No, "return location for audit data" was correct here...

"the user credentials for" isn't English :-)

Perhaps something like: "a set of credentials representing a user"?

Are you sure this is actually a file descriptor, and not a Win32 HANDLE? (Likewise for all the Windows socket API.)
