Measuring Documentation Coverage with Doxygen

Question

I wanted to ask if there are any features (or add-ons) for Doxygen to measure the documentation coverage via command line. I already know that I can set up Doxygen to write undocumented elements as warnings into a log file, but to fully evaluate the documentation coverage from that, I'd need to write my own warning log parser. Was something like this done already or is there an even easier way I couldn't find? Is there any add-on I could check out for this? Thank you.

Answer 1

I don't know anything that can give documentation coverage for doxygen, but a quick search gives 2 interesting results : https://github.com/alobbs/doxy-coverage (require xml output for doxygen) and http://jessevdk.github.io/cldoc/ (alternative for c++ projects?)

Answer 2

There is coverxygen which is using the same idea as alobbs/doxy-coverage (uses xml output of Doxygen) but provides more options (for example, filter by access specifier).
