This patch provides a workaround for a known broken Doxygen LaTeX tables issue reported (and solved) at doxygen/doxygen#11634.

Meanwhile I have noticed that some tables in the generated latex-pdf are larger the page itself. I guess that this can be resolved with multi-lines entries: unfortunately I not familiar with Doxygen to suggest something here.

Thanks, I have merged it.

But please note that some years ago I switched to handwritten markdown documentation:

Hence I don't maintain the Doxygen documentation anymore. And for the Linux distros where I maintain primesieve (Fedora and OpenSUSE) I ship these markdown documentation files instead of the Doxygen documentation. I switched from Doxygen to markdown documentation because maintaining the markdown documentation is much less time consuming e.g. with the Doxygen documentation I frequently needed to make updates when a new Doxygen version was released (which often caused minor issues that needed to be fixed).

While my markdown documentation may not be perfect, I have not received any complains about it, so I guess users are overall happy with it.

Description: upstream: workaround: doc: doxygen: broken LaTeX tables - REVERSE
 This patch REVERSES a previous patch (issue kimwalisch#170) provided as a workaround
 for a known broken Doxygen LaTeX tables issue reported (and solved) at
 <doxygen/doxygen#11634>. The workaround is no more
 needed (in Debian at least) since the doxygen version recently brought to
 Debian Sid (package 1.15.0+ds1-1) appears to resolve this issue.
