How to document C code in Eclipse (intellisense/javadoc like tooltips)

Is it possible to document C code in Eclipse (3.4 w/ CDT) in such a way that JavaDoc/Intellisense like documentation is auto generated and displayed?

E.g. On typing a function name followed by a '(' you get the first param with a tooltip explaining the meaning of that parameter?

Thanks.

Solution

  • To my knowledge: No (With CDT5.0.2).

    The best you have right now is what they are calling: content assist
