profiler, doxygen, ...

[Julien Bect]

Dear all,

I have been trying to read the code of the profiler 
(libinterp/interpfcn/profiler.cc) last night, to assess whether I could 
be able to fix Bug #38480 myself, and found it rather hard to understand...

Looking for a little help, I remembered that there was a doxygen output 
published somewhere on the web, and found this :

http://octave.sourceforge.net/doxygen/html/

First observation : I found no clear mention of the version this 
documentation corresponds to. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but it 
would be safer to mention it somewhere on *every* page of the 
documentation, woudn't it ?

Second observation : the class 'profile_data_accumulator' is missing 
from the class list... Looking at the source code of the HTML pages, I 
found that they were generated in 2009, which explains why the profiler 
is absent.

Is there a way to generate an up-to-date doxygen documentation as part 
of Octave's build process (I found no mention of doxygen in the output 
of ./configure -h) ?

Otherwise, is there a place where I can find a little help (and perhaps 
a configuration file) to generate an up-to-date doxygen documentation 
for myself ?

Best regards,

Julien.
