Doxygen: Recognize all c++ comments

I have a (finished) project for which i generate Doxygen docu.

The problem is, that the comments are standard c++ comments - no special doxygen comments. They look like this:

// This is a class.
class C
{
   // This is a method
   public: void f();   
};

So is there a way to configure DoxyGen to use all comments? If not, is there a tool around that can parse the code and transform the comments into DoxyGen-Comments?

You can replace the comments by a regex. If you are using the // only for comments and not within string literals like "Hallo//ABC", you can search and replace with the Pattern /\/\/(.*)$/gm by /** $1 */. See an example at https://regexr.com/3j7lc

Some Texteditor like Notepad++ support search and replace by Regex.

To search only for lines without some text before the // you can use /^(\s*)\/\/(.*)$/gm. Replacement pattern will look like $1/** $2 */
