doxygenclass Directive

This directive generates the appropriate output for a single class. It takes the standard project, path, outline and no-link options and additionally the members, protected-members, private-members and undoc-members options.

members

Designed to behavior in a similar manner to the members option for the autoclass directive that comes with the Sphinx autodoc extension.

If you do not specify this option you will not get any information about the class members, just the general class documentation. If you provide it without arguments, then Breathe adds all the public members and their documentation. If you specify it with comma separated arguments, then Breathe will treat the arguments as names of members and provide documentation for only those members that have been named.

protected-members
If specified, the protected members of the class will be displayed.
private-members
If specified, the private members of the class will be displayed.
undoc-members
If specified, the undocumented members of the class will be displayed.

If you would like to always specify some combination of members, protected-members, private-members and undoc-members then you can use the :ref:`breathe_default_members <breathe-default-members>` configuration variable to set it in the conf.py.

The output includes references to any base classes and derived classes of the specified class.

.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_basic

This displays the class documentation without any members:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell


.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_template_spec

You can reference class template specialisations by include the specialisation in the name:

.. doxygenclass:: TemplateClass< T * >
   :project: template_specialisation

Produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: TemplateClass< T * >
   :project: template_specialisation

Where as without the specialisation, the directive references the generic declaration:

.. doxygenclass:: TemplateClass
   :project: template_specialisation

Produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: TemplateClass
   :project: template_specialisation


.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_members

This directive call will display the class documentation with all the public members:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :members:

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :members:


.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_members_specific

This displays the class documentation with only the members listed in the :members: option:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :members: crack, isCracked

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :members: crack, isCracked


.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_members_protected

This displays only the protected members of the class. Normally this is combined with the :members: option to show the public members as well.

.. doxygenclass:: GroupedClassTest
   :project: group
   :protected-members:

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: GroupedClassTest
   :project: group
   :protected-members:


.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_members_private

This displays only the private members of the class. Normally this is combined with the :members: option to show the public members as well.

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :private-members:

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :private-members:

.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_members_undocumented

This displays the undocumented members of the class which are suppressed by default. Undocumented public members are only shown if the :members: option is also used. The same goes for the undocumented private members and the private-members option.

.. doxygenclass:: ClassTest
   :project: class
   :members:
   :private-members:
   :undoc-members:

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: ClassTest
   :project: classtest
   :members:
   :private-members:
   :undoc-members:

Note

Undocumented classes are still not shown in the output due to an implementation issue. Please post an issue on github if you would like this resolved.

.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_outline

This displays only the names of the class members and not their documentation. The :members: and :private-members: options determine which members are displayed.

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :members:
   :outline:

It produces this output:

.. doxygenclass:: Nutshell
   :project: nutshell
   :members:
   :outline:


.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_qt

Doxygen is aware of Qt Signals and Slots and so Breathe can pick them up and display them in the output. They are displayed in appropriate Signals, Public Slots, Protected Slots and Private Slots sections.

.. doxygenclass:: QtSignalSlotExample
   :project: qtsignalsandslots
   :members:

Produces the following output:

.. doxygenclass:: QtSignalSlotExample
   :project: qtsignalsandslots
   :members:

.. cpp:namespace:: @ex_class_failing

This intentionally fails:

.. doxygenclass:: made_up_class
   :project: class
   :members:

It produces the following warning message:

Warning

doxygenclass: Cannot find class “made_up_class” in doxygen xml output for project “class” from directory: ../../examples/doxygen/class/xml/
