Problem description
Having (double) underscores at both ends of a parameter name is parsed wrongly by doxygen. As far as I can tell from the warning messages it is actually interpreting that the underscores as 'bold text'.

Possible solutions
A possible solution would be to turn of any form of markup language parsing for the first argument to the @param tag. Which is something you probably want anyway.

Example
Some (compilable) example sources can be found here: https://gist.github.com/bietje/351fea87b4e50e0db8d9864d0b5b52e4#file-doxy-c

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.14. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug 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).
