linking to typedefs, enums, enum values, and variables in namespaces

[Joachim Reichel]

Hi,

I face some problems when linking to typedefs, enums, enum values, and
variables in namespaces. Consider this example:

/// \file

/// namespace N
namespace N {

/// typedef T
typedef int T;

/// enum E
enum E {
     V = 0 //!< enum value V
};

/// global variable G
int G;

} // namespace N

/// typdef: #N::T, ::N::T, N::T
/// enum: #N::E, ::N::E, N::E
/// enum value: #N::V, ::N::V, N::V
/// global variable: #N::G, ::N::G, N::G
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
   return 0;
}

I would prefer to use explicit links (# or :: prefix) to get warnings
when these items get renamed. But that does not work:

1. The link tests with # and :: prefix do not generate any link. The
third link test in each row (without # or :: prefix) does generate a
link. I would expect that all of them (or at least the first two)
generated a link.

2. The first test (# prefix) generates a warning which I do not
understand since it works without prefix.

3. The second test (:: prefix) does not even generate a warning.

The problem is related to the namespace. Without namespaces everything
works as expected. I also haven't noticed any such problems with
classes, member functions, and (global) functions.

What am I missing here?

I'm using doxygen 1.5.9 and 1.6.1.

no answer so far. I assume I didn't do anything obvious wrong.

This problem is now filed as bug 600829.
