[Doxygen-users] warning at explicit instantiation of overloaded template class member function

[Heese, H. <har...@ph...>]

Hi doxygen,

I am encountering warnings using Doxygen 1.8.10 for the below example of overloaded template member functions with explicit instantiation of one (or more) of the overloads for specific template types.

//! a test class with overloaded template members
class Bar
{
public:
  //! first overload of template member function
  template <typename T>
  T foo(T a, int b);

  //! second overload of template member function
  template <typename T>
  T foo(T a, double c);
};

//! force instantiation of first overload for type 'short'
template short Bar::foo<short>(short, int);

Output

warning: no matching class member found for
  template short Bar::foo< short >(short, int)
Possible candidates:
  'template < T >
  T Bar::foo(T a, int b)
  'template < T >
  T Bar::foo(T a, double c)

Is there a way to incorporate the existence of an explicit instantiation (or its accompanying doxygen documentation) in the detailed documentation of the class member (which happens if there are no overloads)?

Thanks,
Harald Heese
