How to put comments in c++ header only

[Dan]

Hi all,

Anyway to put class comments (from the class -> uml -> description edit box) into header files only, not cpp files?

Thanks.

Hello,

I do not understand, the comment (description) of a class is only generated in the header file, not in the source file, so the behavior is already the one you expect

Hi,

As you can see below, the comment appears in header and cpp, I want it only in header.

Code: Select all

// header snippet
...
class ComMission  {
  public:
    /**
     * complete missonId
     */
    int missonComplete(int missonId);
...


Code: Select all

// source snippet
/**
 * complete missonId
 */
int missonComplete(int missonId) {
}

I removed {comment} from generation settings c++[1] in the source file box and created a new test class but no change.

I notice that {comment} is in the operation dialog for the definition, so I removed that and then comment was not generated.

If generation setting c++[4] comment removed it works for new classes only, for existing classes you need to click default definition in the operation c++ dialog. This is a pain when there are loads of classes!

Any way to automate changes in generation settings to existing classes ?

Thanks.

you was speaking about comment/descrirption of class, but here this the one of an operation, this is not the same

I removed {comment} from generation settings c++[1] in the source file box and created a new test class but no change.

At the artifact level ${comment} produces the description of the artifact, so of course there is no change at class level or under

I notice that {comment} is in the operation dialog for the definition, so I removed that and then comment was not generated.

Yes, to remove the comment/description at operation level you have to remove ${comment} on the operation, this is logical no ?

If generation setting c++[4] comment removed it works for new classes only, for existing classes you need to click default definition in the operation c++ dialog. This is a pain when there are loads of classes!

We already speak about that, and I already said you you can automate changes on existing definitions, please read again https://www.bouml.fr/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=490&#p1313
