    I'm running Qt Creator 4.11.0 with C++ -> ClangCodeModel plugin enabled.

    Per https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-4557?focusedCommentId=388140&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-388140, if I hover over a function with brief doxygen info, it should show it.

    Alas, it doesn't. All I see is the return type, the function name and function parameters.

      Hi @Harjit,

      please provide a minimal example where this does not work. You need it to create a bugreport.

      You are using the latest Creator release (4.11)?

      Regards

        Function I'm referring to:
        9caf2110-15d9-4073-bdfd-e2894a767ca3-image.png

        Tooltip I see:
        73fb3076-2d4e-4976-a436-4a112a1f1a7e-image.png

        ClangCodeModel Plugin is enabled:
        23aa4892-51e6-4fff-af10-848d9531d32c-image.png

        Is this sufficient for me to file a bug report?

          @Harjit It's not, because we need an example to reproduce.

          Otherwise its impossible to locate the bug.

            Hi
            Also did you use
            https://github.com/mmmarcos/doxygen2qtcreator
            and the commands in "How to use it" ran without errors so
            you did in fact tag the html and compiled into Creator docs ?

            Not needed. Its fully integrated.

              @mrjj I did not use doxygen2qtcreator.

              My reading of the bug report was that I shouldn't have to use doxygen2qtcreator and that this capability was provided by the ClangCodeModel plugin and new code.

              @aha_1980 I tried to attach a test project in a zip file and I get an "ERROR You do not have enough privileges for this action."

              What I did notice is that if the function is in the same .c file, then I get the function declaration and the brief line:
              759a0833-89e0-4580-ad3b-a55abd0789b5-image.png

              But if the function is in a different .c file, then I only get the function declaration:
              c35c26b4-220e-4354-96b4-c1265fc581c8-image.png

              79d9ec9c-e6f7-4c31-aad3-bb90aea6dcff-image.png

              The CMakeLists.txt:
              01aa69c5-8a00-4b67-8034-251f6bf33661-image.png

                @Harjit said in Tooltip not displaying doxygen information:

                The CMakeLists.txt:

                I added this info. to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-4557?focusedCommentId=388140&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-388140 but the bug is closed.

                Do I need to open a new bug or is the comment sufficient?
