everything.idl generates bad code from idl-compiler (7.67 KB, text/plain)

Description Bowie Owens 2003-06-18 22:38:21 UTC 
The idl-compiler generates code that does not compile for the following
file (everything.idl slightly modified from the version in ORBit2). Things
start going astray around line 227 where a class definition is messed up:

namespace test
{
        class DerivedServer_ptr{
        ::test::DerivedServer *m_target;
public:
                DerivedServer_ptr() : m_target (0) {};
                DerivedServer_ptr(::test::DerivedServer *ptr) :
m_target(ptr) {};
                        DerivedServer_ptr &operator =(::test::DerivedServer
*ptr)
                {
m_target = ptr;
return *this;
                }
...

Comment 2 Bowie Owens 2003-07-08 22:29:20 UTC 
I have fixed most of the problems with the idl-compiler that this IDL
file shows up. I am down to one last problem, unions. The accessors
for union members are not handled correctly for special cases. This
shows up in the IDL file as an inappropriate return value for the
Array accessors (it tries to return the array by value when it needs
to return a slice). However, the idl-compiler also fails to generate
referent (accessor function which returns an non-const reference)
functions for the types for which these should exist (Struct, Union,
...). I have commented here because I am not sure how long it will be
before I fix this.

Everything.idl now compiles. See changelog:
