This is a repost of http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.bugs+v:6808
where I screwed up and sent to the mailing list rather than adding an STR.

I noticed that if I set the window callback to onWindowClose_ and
provided a static member function onWindowClose_ that called the
[protected] member function onWindowClose, then doxygen generates
entries for both.

If I change this so that onWindowClose_ is a static function that
calls the [public] onWindowClose member function, doxygen does not
generate an entry for onWindowClose_. Great! Information hiding :-)

So then I tried to migrate the other callbacks to the same scheme.
I set the File/Quit menu item callback to onFileQuit_ and changed
onFileQuit_ from being a static member function to a static function,
and then I get the following message when I try to compile with g++:
  error: overloaded function with no contextual type information

I can track this down to a spurious declaration in the header file:
  extern void onFileQuit_(Fl_Menu_*, void*);
If I delete this line manually, I can compile and run.

See the works.fl and fails.fl examples below.

I've been through the debugger and produced a patch that appears
to work with Linux/g++ but I can't test on other platforms.

It adds a 'user_defined(cbname)' member function to Fl_Type that scans
to see whether any Function block matches the given callback name. It
is only called Fl_Menu_Item_Type::write_static() because this is where
I have had problems, and because Fl_Widget_Type:write_static() already
has some convoluted logic to handle this (and probably better!).

The patch does not check that the Function is a plain function or a
member function from the same class, nor does it check the parameter
types. As I haven't worked out the complete fluid architecture yet,
I don't know whether it needs to or not. I leave that to the experts.

I think this "solves" FLTK2 STR http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L1473

Fixed in Subversion repository.

added check whether function name has been declared somewhere else
by the user. should probably check more details to be really safe.
