Is there a way in AngelScript to obtain a list of entities that have been registered with the engine?

Basically, I have an API defined by things I register with my AngelScript engine. That API incremently grows with each version of my program. We document the API with a page on our project's Wiki. I should update the Wiki each time the API changes...

In practice, I have proven to be very bad at keeping that Wiki up to date.

However, if I could query the engine for everything registered, I could either write out some html documentation -- or possibly write out an 'equivalent' header file to the process through Doxygen or similar. I could then maintain a website of API docs mapped to the exact version with each release.

Perhaps there is a way to extend the annotation of things registered with AngelScript to provide some built-in documentation. This would be included with the documentation query above -- or possibly allow script users to query the engine for everything that has been registered.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Rob

We currently have a wrapper around the registration functions which takes a const char* for documentation. This is stored in a separate list, which is written out to a file in a simple, xml like format.

A separate program then generates html from that.

I've been thinking about using some sort of clang tool to extract documentation from annotations placed before calls to the registration functions, but i don't know if such annotations would be picked up by the compiler, and getting clang tools to work on Windows has been unsuccessful so far.

Thanks much for the suggestions.

Andreas - from what I can tell, the user data approach doesn't really extend to Enums. It may still be the way to go.

Solokiller - annotations and clang tools is a bit more ambitious than I had in mind. If you do come up with something, it would be great to see it made available.
