No, there's not currently a way to do that. I'm not sure what it could
do, either, since most IDL constructs map to lots of separate C++
constructs. It would be difficult to decide what to attach comments to.

Those switches just tell the compiler front-end not to throw comments
away. It's up to the back-end to do something with the comments -- the
C++ back-end ignores them.

Cheers,

Duncan.
