Namespace not properly recognized

[Tim Niemueller-2]

Hi Doxygen developers.

I have files like the following:

file.h:
namespace mynamespace {
  class MyClass {
   public:
    MyClass();
  }
}

file.cpp:
using namespace mynamespace;

/** @class MyClass <file.h>
 * My fancy class.
 */

/** Constructor. */
MyClass::MyClass()
{
}


This seems to be valid C++ and compiles properly (tested with GCC 4.1
and 4.3 on Fedora 8 and 9). However, if I try to run doxygen
(doxygen-1.5.5-2.fc8) on this it will complain:
Warning: Compound mynamespace::MyClass is not documented.

What I would expect is that it collects the "using namespace" clauses
and prepends these namespaces to the class names to test for matching
documentation. Can someone point me to the relevant lines in the code to
have a closer look or knows a solution already?

Regards from Aachen,
        Tim

The safest way to do this, in my opinion, is to have class documentation
immediately preceded the class declaration in the header file.  This
guarantees that Doxygen will find it correctly.  Otherwise, doing it the
way you did it with the class documentation in the .cc file, you must
fully qualify the name of the class in order for Doxygen to match the
documentation with the class.
