[Ardour-Dev] Docu

[Robin Gareus]

Hi Alex, Nando,

I started with a similar question a few years ago. You can create
doxygen doc from the source - there's a doc/Doxyfile; but you'll find
that Ardour's class hierarchy itself is very intuitive (before starting
to browse it, think: how would you implement it) and that doxygen doc is
not very useful; because..

..the tricky part is: How everything is linked together - in particular
callback signals and slots - and related to that: the threads which
react on particular slots.

One thing that I did in the beginning was reading code-changes for
bug-fixes or simply perusing the history using gitk. Get the whole
picture in small chunks.

ciao,
robin
