A way to tag code like class or functions

[totalretribution]

Whats the best way to tag certain classes or functions that cxxheaderparser could pick up.

I want to tag certain functions and classes so when parsing I can do things like ignore them.

I tried using attributes like below at first but later saw that they are not used.

[[WRAPPER::IGNORE]]
class test{
public:

void func1();

[[WRAPPER::IGNORE]]
void func2(); 
}	

The only option I can think of is to add something to doxygen and then parse the doxygen but this seemed clumsy.

It's not great, but you could use preprocessor macros and have your preprocessor filter the undesired content out?

There is code in cxxheaderparser to parse attributes, but as you've observed it just throws them away. I don't really know what I would want to do with attributes, so I haven't bothered implementing support for them. If you want to fix #31 and make a pull request so it meets your needs I'm likely to accept it if it seems reasonable and there are tests.

Yea using preprocessor to remove them was a consideration it just makes the code become a mess.

Im making a script to automate c# bindings from my cpp code and wanted a clean way to tell my script to do something like ignore this function or class without editing the script since it would be run automatically using CI.

I will see how this works using doxygen and if I need to I wil look into #31

My semi-automated wrapper for C++ to Python is https://github.com/robotpy/semiwrap. The approach I took was to have a YAML file associated with each header which is used to modify the behavior of the wrapper generator (including things like ignoring functions). That approach might be useful for you as well.
