Re: [Opencxx-users] Fwd: Compile error?

[Scott D. F. <sd...@cs...>]

Hi Jason,
It looks like OpenC++ doesn't recognize the "explicit" keyword. In
parser/Lex.cc, there are lines like:

Lex.cc:853:    { "inline",              token(INLINE) },
Lex.cc:887:    { "volatile",            token(VOLATILE) },

But there is nothing equivalent for "explicit".

I think I can suggest a quick/dirty fix. The "explicit" specifier is
only used with constructors to prevent implicit type conversions. I
may be wrong, but I would expect that the specifier could just be
ignored as long as the client programmer is careful not to use
implicit conversions. I'm pretty sure this could be accomplished by
adding a line as follows to the table[] definition in parser/Lex.cc
(found around line 810).

    { "explicit", token(Ignore) },

Hope this helps.
Scott
