vim and doxygen (c-style) block comment problems

Hello all,

I have this annoying problem and I'm hoping some of the vim gurus out
there will be able to help me. I'm a C++ programmer and I love
working with vim. My new project is requiring C-style block comments
be used on our source files, and we also use doxygen. Herein lies the
problem. Doxygen needs special comment block styles in order to
properly generate the documentation (see http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/docblocks.html
). We're using doxygen comment style #4 in our project, and
unfortunately this is causing me headaches within vim.

Basically, the comment style is using two c-style comment blocks on
one line (a full /* ... */ followed by the start of another /* ... )
and this is causing vim's auto-intent to become confused. Here is a
quick example of what I'm talking about.

This is what I want vim to do with it's indenting for these comment
blocks:

class Test
{
public:
/
****************************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class constructor

********************************************************************/
Test() { }

/
****************************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class destructor

********************************************************************/
~Test() { }
};

And this is what I'm actually getting:

class Test
{
public:
/
****************************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class constructor

********************************************************************/
Test() { }

/
****************************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class destructor

********************************************************************/
~Test() { }
};

I think that vim's indenting is not working properly because it sees
multiple comment delimiters within a single line. I'm at a loss as to
how to fix this, but maybe there is a way to override or modify the
indent behavior in this particular case? Any help from the vim user
community would be much appreciated!

I have both autoindent and smartindent enabled in my .vimrc, but the
behavior of vim is the same in this case regardless of what indenting
options I set.

Thanks for your time in this matter!
