VC++ 2005 support for XML Comment generation

[David Allmond]

I have been looking at various info about VS 2005 and I keep seeing that the
XML code comment generation is being extended to VB.NET, but there seems to
be no mention of it correctly supporting C or C++. At the moment it is very
hit and miss with the C/C++ comment generation, as it actually works
correctly some of the time, but only some of the time, with it often failing
to pick up the comments and in our office, working only on some machines.

Hi David,

I have been looking at various info about VS 2005 and I keep seeing that the XML code comment generation is being extended to VB.NET, but there seems to be no mention of it correctly supporting C or C++. At the moment it is very hit and miss with the C/C++ comment generation, as it actually works

I'm not quite sure what it is you're saying.... AFAIK, XML doc comments are
supported through the new /doc compiler option for the new syntax (which
seems to work here ok.)

Are you saying you're using it and it's not working correctly? If so, then
you should definitely file a bug on it...
