[Bruno Neves Pires Silva]

Hello, programmers.

Does Anyone know about any documentation generator for C++, like
ghostdoc for c# ?

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at Doxygen?

Oh, that's swell. I didn't know that Doxygen could actually generate
comments from comment templates and put them into the C++ source code,
as Ghostdoc does. I'll give it a look.

Take a look at C++/CLI documentation comments

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...26(VS.80).aspx

and the Sandcastle tool

http://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/

to generate MSDN-like documentation.

Well, not exactly, but...

It does export a parse tree of your entire codebase (provided you turn on
documentation for uncommented functions) as XML, so you can easily write a
script to plug the function name, arguments, etc into a documentation
skeleton. You could probably automatically inject them into the source code
at the appropriate places too, as doxygen includes the definition line
number for each function and variable definition.
