Sorry, 
is this the solution (simple concatenating [^*][^*][^/]\n.*:: ?


The background:
I want to scan cpp file, whether the have a doxygen comment already:
It should find all postitions, where this is missing:

ok

doxygen comment
**/
void CBs::InitButtonPanel (int progn1, int progn2)

the problem is to find the method or function definition, and for 
that, I need a regex.
it should ignore blabla::InitButtonPanel(a, b);

So a mark is that if there is a semikolon at the end, 
it is no function or method defininition.

So I would need 
[^*][^*][^/]\n.*[)]*[^;]
but this is not working.

Thank you again in advance!
