Autolinks to functions point to the struct with the same name

[yous]

Creating a new issue from #9587 (comment).

Describe the bug
When there is a struct and a function with the same name, Doxygen autolinks to the struct, not to the function.

Expected behavior
foo(), foo(int, int), and foo(int a, int b) should be linked to the function. But I'm not sure what should I use to link to the struct.

Screenshots

To Reproduce

• SameNameStructAndFunction.tar.gz

/**
 * @file    header.h
 * @brief   description header file
 */

#ifndef HEADER_H
#define HEADER_H

/**
 * @struct foo
 * @brief struct named foo
 *
 * @sa foo()
 */
struct foo {
    int x;
    int y;
};

/**
 * @brief function named foo
 *
 * @sa @link foo @endlink
 */
int foo(int a, int b);

#endif /* HEADER_H */

Run doxygen ..

Version
Both on Intel macOS:

• 1.9.8
• 1.10.0 (73874de*)

Doxygen 1.9.4 effectively distinguish @link foo @endlink and foo(), and links them to the struct and the function, respectively. When I did git bisect, it points to b290399.

@yous Please verify if the referenced commit fixes the problem for you. Do not close the issue, this will be done automatically when the next official release is made.

Hi, it seems the issue is almost resolved, but in Function Documentation, the name of the function has a link to the struct.

The blue foo points to structfoo.html. But when there is no struct with the same name, that foo won't be linked, so I'm neutral to this.

[doxygen]

@yous Good point. Should be fixed with the latest commit.

[yous]

Yes, I can confirm it's fixed.

[doxygen]

This issue was previously marked 'fixed but not released',
which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.10.0.
Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
issue if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant (preferably in the form of a self-contained example).
