proposed patch with example code

In warning messages from doxygen sometimes file and line numbers are missing, instead "<FOO>:1:" is given as location reference. This happens, when no detailed documentation section for an element is available (only brief description).
I think, Definition::docLine() and Definition::docFile() should also look at 
m_impl->brief when m_impl->details is 0.
Comment 1 Clemens 2010-11-03 10:03:26 UTC 
Maybe this is related to Bug 633891 "warning for "lonely <li> tag" does not tell file name nor line number". 
Note that the example code to reproduce Bug 633891 is also much smaller.

The problem with the <FOO> is present in the version 1.7.2 in the version 1.8.10 the right file name is given.

I think the problem has been solved in the mean time.

Setting to fixed as suggested. Please reopen this bug report if you still see this issue with the latest version of doxygen. Add a self-contained example (source+config file in a zip or tar) if possible.
