Doxygen - documentation inheritance for rewritten signals / slots

Question

I am creating my documentation using doxygen and have included the INHERIT_DOCS option. This works fine for regular methods. The documentation for the base class will appear in the class that reimplementes the method.

However, if I do the same for signals or slots, doxygen does not inherit the document, members appear, but remain undocumented.

Am I missing something or is this a mistake? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

This seems to work out of the box in Doxygen 1.8.15.

I was surprised to see the section “Signals inherited from” in my documents, since I did not indicate anything in the comments, but there it is still the same.
