Re: Newbie Doxygen DLL extern question

Hello Deeder.

You might have noticed what I think is the reason for your problem:
This [DllImport...] stuff in not "official" C. So doxygen gets 
confused. 
You need a trick to avoid that doxygen sees this "confusing" code.

Just another test you can make for another idea. 

I don't know so much about this [DllImport]. Try whether your 
compiler compiles the following.

Preprocessor trick 1:

#ifndef DOXYGEN
[DllImport("mydll.Dll")]
#endif
/// your documenation block
private static extern ushort myFunction();

If yes, then you have good chances. 
Activate the DOXYGEN (choose any name you want) as a PREDEFINED macro 
in the doxygen config file to avoid parsing this DllImport stuff with 
doxygen.

The disadvantage is that it looks a little odd in the source code.

There is also a similar trick that uses doxygen conditional commands 
instead of preprocessor conditionals. Look in the manual to the how 
those conditional blocks work in doxygen.

Preprocessor trick 1:
