Doxygen

[jferreira]

I'm a new feap user and the documentation provided is really helpful. However, when looking for the source code I got lost so many times.

Doxygen (http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/) provided me the tools to fulfill the gaps between documentation and source code. By generating a code graph now I'm able to dynamically check the calls between functions/routines/modules. An example of a graph tree feap is attached. You can also check some other examples showing the capabilities of doxygen https://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/results.html

That is kind of nice.  How hard is it to generate a full graph (perhaps over a few pages)?
What did you have to do to make the graph?

A set of graphs could be a nice addition to the FEAPwiki.  Can you make the for the current version 8.5?

I've generated the graphs for the full 8.5 source code and I think it contains precious information about how feap is implemented.
I did not share it because it violates the terms of use of feap.
the graph generation is straightforward:
1) install doxygen on your system
2) put the configuration file (attached) at ../ver85
3) run in terminal: doxygen [name of configuration file]
(change configurations if needed)

if you want I can show you the results I got so far with this method

Thanks.  We will give it a try.

The applications of Doxygen can be found in some objective C++ Open Source Programs, e.g. G+Smo - gismo ...

Thank you. This is very useful. Maybe someone could attach results for the FEAPpv ? (or does it violate its license too?)

It is fine to share the FEAPpv results.  But they are far to complex and involved to directly post to the Forum.  You will need to host them and then post a link.
