I am currently starting using doxygen to document my source code. I have notice that the syntax is very heavy, every time I modify the source code, I also need to change the comment and I really have the impression to pass too much time modifying the comment for every change I make in the source code.

Do you have some tips to document my source code efficiently ?

Does some editor (or plugin for existing editor) for doxygen to do the following exist?

  • automatically track unsynchronized code/comment and warn the programmer about it.
  • automatically add doxygen comment format (template with parameter name in it for example) in the source code (template) for every new item

PS: I am working on a C/C++ project.
