1. doxygen 版本

zz@Legion-R7000P% git log             
commit acb04c2a27e29b82e697d20ac0561034f0a16e20 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Dimitri van Heesch <doxygen@gmail.com>

    Rename GENERATE_SITEMAP to SITEMAP_URL

2. 找出所有的 CMakeLists.txt 和 *.cmake 文件

doxygen 使用 cmake 进行构建， cmake 构建的描述文件是 CMakeLists.txt 和 *.cmake

$ find . -type f -name 'CMakeLists.txt' -o -name '*.cmake' | sort -V

整理得到的层级结构:

- CMakeLists.txt
    - addon/
        - CMakeLists.txt
        - doxmlparser/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - doxyapp/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - doxyparse/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - doxysearch/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - doxywizard/
            - CMakeLists.txt
    - cmake/
        - Sanitizers
            - FindASan.cmake
            - FindMSan.cmake
            - FindSanitizers.cmake
            - FindTSan.cmake
            - FindUBSan.cmake
            - sanitize-helpers.cmake
        - ApplyEditbin.cmake
        - CompilerWarnings.cmake
        - Coverage.cmake
        - FindIconv.cmake
        - FindJavacc.cmake
        - FindSQLite3.cmake
        - FindgenerateDS.cmake
        - Findxapian.cmake
        - SearchReplace.cmake
        - doxygen_version.cmake
        - git_watcher.cmake
        - packaging.cmake
        - version.cmake
    - deps/
        - CMakeLists.txt
        - liblodepng/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - libmd5/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - libmscgen/
            - CMakeLists.txt
        - spdlog/
            - CMakeLists.txt
            - cmake/
                - ide.cmake
                - spdlogCPack.cmake
                - utils.cmake
    - doc/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - doc_internal/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - examples/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - libversion/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - libxml/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - src/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - testing/
        - CMakeLists.txt
    - vhdlparser/
        - CMakeLists.txt

3. cmake 构建目标清单

有如下的 cmake target, 最核心的是 doxymain 这个静态库， 而 doxygen 则是可执行目标， 是调用了 doxymain:

target 名字	target 类型
md5	STATIC_LIBRARY
lodepng	STATIC_LIBRARY
mscgen	STATIC_LIBRARY
spdlog	STATIC_LIBRARY
spdlog_header_only	INTERFACE_LIBRARY
check_git_repository	UTILITY
check_doxygen_version	UTILITY
doxygen_version	STATIC_LIBRARY
xml	STATIC_LIBRARY
vhdlparser	STATIC_LIBRARY
generate_configvalues_header	UTILITY
doxycfg	STATIC_LIBRARY
doxymain	STATIC_LIBRARY
doxygen	EXECUTABLE
docs_internal	UTILITY
tests	UTILITY

4. 生成 Doxygen 自己的文档

Doxygen 官网的文档， 并不是 Doxygen 自身的 C/C++ 代码的 doxygen 文档， 源码工程里也没有提供， 需要自行编写配置文件 Doxyfile， 然后调用 doxygen 来生成：

D:\dbg\doxygen_dev_doc\Doxyfile:

DOXYFILE_ENCODING = UTF-8
PROJECT_NAME = "doxygen"
INPUT = D:/github/doxygen/src
EXTRACT_ALL = YES
HTML_TIMESTAMP = YES
RECURSIVE = YES
HTML_OUTPUT=D:/dbg/doxygen_dev_doc/docs
GENERATE_LATEX = NO
GENERATE_HTML = YES
GENERATE_XML = NO

doxygen Doxyfile
