RE: Macroized Functions

Hi Duane,

I made a patch to allow \def to be used to force documentation of a define,
even if the #define is not found in the source code.  It was for a similar
problem that I made this mod.

I reported it as a bug in Bugzilla, and the patch for 1.4.3 is attached to
that.  See "Bug 310895: Cannot document non-existant defines with \def".
Maybe this could be a help to you?

Regards,

Mike
