    Hi
    Did you change config file to match ?
    sample uses

    headers.fileextensions = "*.hpp"
    but often its actually just "*.h"

      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.
