Example header and settings file.

A template static member function, whether public or protected, will duplicate in the documentation as non-static public. You get a warning about the member not being documented even though it is. Documentation attaches to the invalid non-static public rather than the correct static method. Example that generates the problem:

/! \brief This class is documented./
class AClass {
public:
template static char* astaticfunc(C ainput);
};

/*! \brief This function is documented /
template
char AClass::astaticfunc(C achar)
{ return nullptr; }

This above included in attachment with relevant settings file.

It may be worth cross-referencing with my previous report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700693 because that is also a duplicate documentation issue related to templates, so it seems possible the problems may be related.

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
