2016-08-31VPP-221 Loosen Doxygen CLI command struct parserChris Luke2-1/+2
Make the struct parser slighty slightly more accomodating of whitespace in places it has no business being. Also add missing OS_ID thing to Doxygen makefile. Change-Id: Id3d198fd926f7a6c2ed40bc2d08907aad5d5ac33 Signed-off-by: Chris Luke <chrisy@flirble.org>
2016-08-31VPP-221 CLI auto-documentation infrastructureChris Luke6-5/+793
As a step before Doxygen, extract CLI-related struct initializers from the code and parse that into a summary of the CLI commands available with the provided help text, such as it is. At the moment this only renders this into an indexed Markdown file that Doxygen then picks up but later we can use this information to enrich the existing VLIB_CLI_COMMAND macro documentor as well as provide runtime documentation to VPP that is stored on disk outside the binary image. Additionally support a comment block immediately prior to VLIB_CLI_COMMAND CLI command definitions in the form /*? ... ?*/ that can be used to include long-form documentation without having it compiled into VPP. Examples of documenting CLI commands can be found in vlib/vlib/unix/cli.c which, whilst not perfect, should provide a starting point. Screen captures of sample output can be seen at https://chrisy.flirble.org/vpp/doxy-cli-example.png and https://chrisy.flirble.org/vpp/doxy-cli-index.png . Next, shift the Doxygen root makefile targets to their own Makefile. The primary reason for this is that the siphon targets do dependency tracking which means it needs to generate those dependencies whenever make is run; that is pointless if we're not going to generate any documentation. This includes the package dependencies since they since they sometimes unnecessarily interfere with the code build in some cases at the moment; later we will look to building a Python venv to host the Python modules we use. One final remark: In future we may consider deprecating .long_help in the VLIB_CLI_COMMAND structure entirely but add perhaps .usage_help. .short_help would be reserved for a summary of the command function and .usage_help provide the syntax of that command. These changes would provide great semantic value to the automaticly generated CLI documentation. I could also see having .long_help replaced by a mechanism that reads it from disk at runtime with a rudimentary Markdown/Doxygen filter so that we can use the same text that is used in the published documentation.

2016-07-26Fix missing include dirs in doxygenChris Luke1-1/+1
Also allow a developer to alter the directories scanned at runtime to facilitate shorter run-times when writing documentation. Change-Id: I2a09519661a3abe1fbc0cfc294000934852af951 Signed-off-by: Chris Luke <chrisy@flirble.org>

2016-05-15VPP-62 Add a doxy filter to enable vpe.api docChris Luke3-5/+67
This makes Doxygen think the API definitions are structs which is close enough to be able to document the API methods. It also has logic to create an indexed API page but that's disabled for now because it duplicates the "brief" text twice in the struct doc. Fixes a minor line numbering issue in filter_c.py.

2016-05-13VPP-57 Add Doxygen to VPPChris Luke6-0/+2717
- Configures Doxygen. - Adds a source filter to do magic on our use of the preprocessor to do constructor stuff to make Doxygen grok it better. - Adds a convenience helper to the root Makefile. - Adds a README.md to the root directory (and which Doxygem uses as its "mainpage". - Add several other documentative files. - Currently using SVG for call graphs, though this may have a load-time performance impact in browsers.
