To document a specialized C++ constructor with Doxygen, you can use comments in the header file where the constructor is declared. Here's an example of how you can document a specialized constructor:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
/**
 * @brief Initializes a new object with specific values.
 *
 * This constructor initializes a new object with the provided values for its attributes.
 *
 * @param value1 The value for attribute 1
 * @param value2 The value for attribute 2
 */
SpecializedConstructor(int value1, int value2);


In this example, the @brief tag provides a short description of what the constructor does. The following paragraph provides a more detailed explanation. The @param tags describe the parameters of the constructor. You can add additional tags as needed to provide more information about the constructor.


When you run Doxygen on your code, it will generate documentation that includes this information for the specialized constructor. This can help other developers understand how to use the constructor and what it does.
