[Quickfix-developers] Generate script broken for c++?

[Asher N. <ash...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to make some very simple changes to the FIX field
definitions in Quickfix, but the generate.sh script seems to be producing
invalid code.

I have no problem compiling and using the source code directly from the
repo (bootstrap, configure, make).

However, if I first run the configure.sh script in the spec directory, I
receive errors on a subsequent build because the xsl seems to insert 'bad'
characters into the code. This is prior to me making any changes. Diff on a
couple files as follows:

Any ideas why the brackets and quotations marks are being generated? Any
ideas what I can do to sort this out?

I'd very much appreciate any insight anyone can offer, as I'm not eager to
go spelunking through the XSL.

Regards,

Asher
