Private methods marked only as override are not documented when EXTRACT_PRIV_VIRTUAL = YES

[Luinar]

Issue:

Doxygen does not document private methods marked only with override keyword when EXTRACT_PRIV_VIRTUAL = YES.
This poses a problem as our guidelines requires to use virtual only for abstract methods and only override or final for all overrides.

Expected behavior:

Doxygen documents all private virtual methods, included those marked only by final, override or override final.

Minimal example:

class Base {
  private:
    //! \brief Well documented method
    virtual void body() = 0;
};

class Derived1 : public Base {
  private:
    //! \brief Undocumented method
    void body() override;
};

class Derived2 : public Base {
  private:
    //! \brief Well documented method
    virtual void body() override;
};

System:

OS: Linux (tested on both Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
Doxygen version: 1.9.1

It is not 100% clear what you would like to see and not see in the output, also the options used in the doxygen settings file different from the default settings are a bit unclear.

• Please provide the content of the doxygen settings file that differ from the default settings (doxygen -x Doxyfile)
• Please illustrate by means of one or more images (and accomanying text) what is what is wrong (probably from the pages file:///.../html/class_derived1.html and file:///.../html/class_derived2.html as file:///.../html/class_base.html is probably OK).

Note: the current doxygen version is 1.9.5, I don't think that this will result in a difference in your case but certainly worth an update.
