Description Tom Henderson 2014-11-21 14:45:13 UTC

Doxygen introspection of config paths is inserting extra '%' characters that are not handled by the config parser.  For instance, this path is reported by the Doxygen to get to the AODV RoutingProtocol.

/NodeList/[i]/$%ns3::%aodv::%RoutingProtocol

in an example program, this path:

/NodeList/0/$%ns3::%aodv::%RoutingProtocol/NetDiameter

 will generate this runtime error:

assert failed. cond="uid != 0", msg="Assert in TypeId::LookupByName: %ns3::%aodv::%RoutingProtocol not found", file=../src/core/model/type-id.cc, line=560
terminate called without an active exception

This path, however, will work:

/NodeList/0/$ns3::aodv::RoutingProtocol/NetDiameter

Assigned to Tom to regenerate the Doxygen for our past releases, before closing this bug.

I found that this did not affect earlier releases; I regenerated Doxygen for ns-3.21 release anyway to pick up some fixes that have occurred since that release was made.
