bug#11865: 24.1.50; doxygen comments not highlighted in c++-mode

I am using doxygen.org to comment code (and generate
documentation
from it). This requires a dedicated commenting style,
e.g.:

 /**
 * This is a doxygen comment
 * @param par this is a
parameter for this function
 * @return this is what is returned by the
function
 */
 bool my_function(int par);

When this snippet is viewed
with major mode 'c-mode', the @-keywords are
highlighted. When you set
the major mode to 'c++-mode', this is not the
case.

So for some reason
this additional highlighting is not enabled for
c++. I am not sure if
this is a bug, or disabled on purpose. Anyhow,
using doxygen for c++ is
valid.

Also it seems the doxygen highlighting does not work when you
type
comments on the same line as the '/**', e.g. like this:
 /** This
comment is not doxygen-highlighted
 */

Regards,
Toon
