Hi,

there's no direct way to get this information. Your wording is not totally
clear though. A comment is also a token and you can get its content. The
`myFunction' is also a token and more, it's the symbol for a particular
function in your code.

You could try something as Sergey mentioned through traversing the symbols
in the document and trying to match then. But depending on what exactly
you're doing there might be a shortcut (under certain assumptions and
limitations). For instance, in cases like that you could simply attempt to
parse the content that follows the comment as a declaration and if that
succeeds compare the identifiers from the function name, parameters, etc.

If you take a look at CppTools::DoxygenGenerator you'll notice that it does
more or less the same thing but in the other direction: Based on a
particular function, which is potentially located under the comment when
you start typing /**, it generates a doxygen comment from the information
it gathered.

Regards,
Leandro
