Support for Concepts TS (not merely documented concepts)

[h-2]

[I didn't want to piggyback on the other issue because this is about actual concepts, not just doc]

We are currently writing a library that uses actual concepts (as in the TS) and I was wondering if standardese handles them any better than regular doxygen?
Doxygen makes regular templatized variables of the concept definitions (which is not nice, but ok) and it puts all of the requires clause into the return type of a constrained functions (which makes the documentation horrible to read).
Does standardese work any better or is it limited by libclang's inability to parse Concepts TS right now?

Thanks!

Yes, it is also limited by libclang. I might be able to workaround that somehow; I'm currently extracting the parsing code in a separate library, will be released this week (hopefully).

Thanks for the quick reply!

Cool, if there is anything testable in regards to concepts and you need feedback, don't hesitate to let me know!

You can check out https://github.com/foonathan/cppast and see how it handles concepts (it has a simple tool that dumps the AST).

What is the status of concepts? Not supported because clang doesn't support concepts?

[wovo]

I dug up somewhere that the under-development clang support for concepts is activated by -fconcepts-ts, but the LLVM/clang I downloaded doesn't accept that option. A pity the code I work on relies heavily on concepts, and it makes perferct sense to put the documentation at the concepts.

Yes, I can't support them because libclang doesn't support them.

I'll add some way to support "concepts" (not the language feature the high-level .. concept) though soon.
