Make doxygen accept no-documentation for an item (but not ignore it)

Question

When you run doxygen, you often get a lot of:

warning: some-thing-or-another is not documented.

For some items, you just want to fill in the documentation; but other are too trivial to document, or I just want listing without documentation.

Now, you could suppress these warnings with ///@cond and ///@endcond, but then the some-thing-or-another will be yanked out of the documentation, which is not what I wanted.

So, how can I make doxygen not warn me about certain items, while keeping the item in the documentaiton with no additional explanatory text?

Answer 1

A bit diving into the trick box.

Doxygen does have a command \noop but this is filtered out so it is not seen as documentation.

There are a number of non printing characters like ‍ and   so defining something like:

/// \file

/** the documented fie
 */
void fie(void);

void fie1(void);

/** ‍ */
void fie2(void);

Will result in a warning for fie1 but not for fie and fie2. The disadvantage is that doxygen thinks that fie2 is documented and thus creates a detailed section for it.

To overcome the "detailed section" problem one would like to have a command that says the function is documented but doesn't show anything and does not emit warnings about missing things, such a function is currently not present in doxygen.
