Sorry for long winded title, this makes a lot more sense with an example.
Suppose we have a class A:
class A {
    public:
        void someFunction();
        void someOtherFunction();
};
And another class that privately inherits from A. However, we re-declare one of the inherited functions as public:
class B : private A {
    public:
        A::someFunction;
}
When this code is processed by Doxygen, it does not recognise the public declaration of someFunction in class B. Instead, it shows someFunction as a privately inherited function. This is incorrect.
Is anybody aware of how to fix this? Cheers
