Questions tagged [todo]

TODO is often used in code comments to indicate a task that needs to be done. IDEs often highlight them. Please do not use this for questions about creating todo list applications.

TODOs are source-code comments, stating that something still needs to be done in that particular section of the program.

Different syntaxes are used for different languages. A typical C-style example would be:

// TODO: Fix this

It has been debated whether todo comments are to be considered good or bad practice.

Most IDEs have the facility of highlighting TODOs and/or displaying them in a separate view.

Is it possible to output ONLY global TODO list in doxygen?

Is there an option to avoid outputting the TODO list in each class, so that the class documentation is not cluttered with these items. At the same time, I would like to preserve the global TODO list.
