Description Tom Henderson 2015-07-27 16:43:05 EDT

Mesh-related objects are aggregated to MeshPointDevice, and are accessible via config paths such as:

/$ns3::NodeListPriv/NodeList/*/$ns3::Node/DeviceList/*/$ns3::MeshPointDevice/$ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol/LinkOpen

However, the introspection program is not picking up these possible config paths:

https://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.23/doxygen/classns3_1_1dot11s_1_1_peer_management_protocol.html#details

I don't know whether this is limited to 'mesh' module (e.g. 'aodv' is also in a separate namespace) and I suspect that the placement of these objects in namespace dot11s is the reason the introspection program is not finding them.

I think GetTypicalAggregations() of print-introspected-doxygen.cc is the right place to record these other aggregations.  
https://www.nsnam.org/docs/doxygen/print-introspected-doxygen_8cc_source.html#l01276

For example, these inner namespace items are recorded:
    ns3::aodv::RoutingProtocol
    ns3::dsdv::RoutingProtocol
    ns3::dsr::DsrRouting
    ns3::olsr::RoutingProtocol

What mesh-related objects are not being picked up?
