Handling two different functions with the same name in Doxygen

Question

I have a C project which contains two functions with the same name, but each is within a different group/module (@defgroup).

These functions each compil

Answer 1

A solution that works for me in doxygen 1.8.13 is to provide an explicit link with the HTML tag. For example, I have a function QF_run(), which is defined in three different files qv.c, qk.c and qxk.c. Here are three links to these three definitions:

QF_run()
QF_run()
QF_run()

These links are rendered in the HTML output the same way as the automatically generated links. The links are also stable as long as you don't change the name of the function.

To obtain the hash-value for your function, simply open its documentation in a browser and copy the link after the # sign.
