Closed

Description

@zhekaso

Environment

  • VS Code Version: 1.100.3
  • C/C++ Extension Version: 1.26.1

In older version i rember output was correct, but now:

doxygen: * @param[in] key The Mpls Evpn Model Tunnel Key.

Output in popup up window:
[in] - key The Mpls Evpn Model Tunnel Key.

Correct output, what i saw in previus versions, with and without direction for param:

    This is a regression bug inherited from VS (i.e. works with 1.25.3 of our extension) -- I've filed an internal bug against VS at https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/C-Doxygen-comment-with-paramin-does/10920217 , but I don't think it's externally viewable currently (because I don't think the VS update with the bug has been released publicly yet).

    Hello Sean McManus (@sean-mcmanus).

    I'm using v1.26.3 and unfortunately I'm observing this bug is still present.

    For example with the following function:

    /**
     * @brief Function description.
     * 
     * @param[in] arg Hello, world.
     */
    void foobar(int arg);

    Curiously, it only seems to be triggered when the argument description contains a comma.

    Without comma (expected):

    With comma (unexpected):

    Delgan Yeah, that case got missed by our testing. I've filed a new bug.
