Doxygen behavior for function defined with trailing return type

Question

The changelog of doxygen release 1.8.2 says that support has been added to C++11 trailing return types. However, parsing my codes with doxygen version 1.8.4 results in the return types being auto and not the trailing return type.

Is there any option that need to be set to get this working properly?

Edit:

In the figure below it can be seen that the return types are auto, which, I believe, is not the correct behaviour.

This is an open Doxygen issue on GitHub:

C++11 new function declaration syntax is not recognized correctly (Origin: bugzilla #730794)

but the author of Doxygen wants a clarification on exactly what you expect Doxygen to do.
