Using HeaderDoc with .hpp files instead of .h files

I want to document my interface. The interface is written in C++ and it is in .hpp files. However, headerdoc2html doesn't seem to know about .hpp files; it expects .h files.

$ headerdoc2html include/*.hpp
HTML output mode.
File include/serializer.hpp is not of a known header or source code file type
No valid input files specified. 

Usage: headerdoc2html [-dq] [-o <output directory>] <input file(s) or directory>.

How can I force HeaderDoc to interpret the input as C++ code?

Solution

  • I only have a dirty suggestion: copy the .hpp files to .h files. You can do that in the makefile.

    Here is a snippet of the Makefile

    .SUFFIXES: .h .hpp
.hpp.h:
     cp $< $@

    remember the tab in the Makefile, before the "cp"-line
