When using Doxygen to document code that contains duplicate macro definitions, it is important to properly manage these duplicates to ensure accurate and clear documentation. One approach is to use the #undef directive to remove any previously defined macro before redefining it with the desired documentation. This helps prevent confusion and potential errors that can arise from having multiple definitions of the same macro.

To create a list of switch case statements in Doxygen, you can use the @switchgroup and @case tags. The @switchgroup tag is used to group together a set of related switch cases, while the @case tag is used to document each individual case within the switch statement. By using these tags, you can provide detailed documentation for each case in the switch statement, making it easier for others to understand and use your code.
