    hmm odd. then
    it seems clang have issue parsing the header
    ( QDoc uses clang from Qt 5.11)

    You did follow step to install it ?

    Yes,I did it
    installed LLVM6.0.1 and specify Clang location by "set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=C:\Program Files\LLVM"

      That seems pretty ok.
      However, since the other part of generation seems to work, then
      it must be something with clang and /fn
      But I cant guess what not right.

        Well,can you try to generate C++ documentation with QDoc if you are free?

              Hi
              I did try the QDoc but could not get any /fn to work either.

              What version of Qt are you using ?

                Re: [Why QDoc don't work](it's really confusing.)
                I have the same issue with Qt5.12.0 on Windows. Does anyone have the solution for this?
                Some notes - the enumerator was processed without problems:

                class MyClass
                {
                public:
                enum Type
                {
                }
                void foo();
                }

                /*!
                \enum MyClass::Type - parsed without errors
                \value …
                */

                /*!
                \fn void MyClass::foo() - error: use of undeclared identifier 'MyClass' why???
                */

                  To fix the error, you need to switch to VS2015 Build Tool. For VS2017 I could not get the compiler to work. But for 2015 everything works as expected.
