[DOC++] A bug with const qualifier in overloaded methods

[Eric G. <Eri...@ob...>]

Hi,

We are using DOC++ for the LORENE project

	http://www.lorene.obspm.fr

and are very happy about it. It produces
very usefull documentation as can be seen
on http://www.lorene.obspm.fr/Refguide/index.html
 
However, there is a bug which is quite annoying:
DOC++ does not distinguish overloaded methods
when the parameters of these methods are declared
'const'. Considerer the following example:

//----------------------------------
class A ;
class B ;

/** Class C
 */
class C {

  public:
  /// Constructor from A
  C(const A&) ;

  /// Constructor from B
  C(const B&) ;

} ;
//---------------------------------

DOC++ gives the warning message
"Warning: ` C::C(const B&)' already have documentation, merging"
and produces the following ugly output:

C(const B&) 
	Constructor from BConstructor from A 

This bug is present in the current version (3.4.10),
as well as in the two previous ones (3.4.8 and 3.4.9), 
but it did not exist in older versions (e.g. 3.2). 
This bug has been already pointed out in March 2001 by 
Marc Toussaint, see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/docpp/message/1028
but no fixing has been performed yet. 

Thank you for your help,

	Eric Gourgoulhon.
