[orbitcpp-list] support for sequence<any> broken in orbitcpp-0.30

[<MHL...@t-...>]

Hi!

orbitcpp-0.30 works just perfectly with orbit-0.5.7
(good work !) but mayby you also want to tackle down this:

- It doesn't build on top of orbit-mt-0.5.7:
  I'm using the environment variable ORBIT_CONFIG to specify
  the right config-script. This obviously works but there is no
  option to specify that orbit-idl-mt should be used instead
  of orbit-idl.
  However, configure fails to create the makefiles. I get the
  following output when running this command sequence (I have
  both orbit-0.5.7 and orbit-mt-0.5.7 installed in /opt/orbit):

  > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/orbit/lib
  > export ORBIT_CONFIG=/opt/orbit/bin/orbit-config-mt
  > configure --prefix=/opt/orbit --with-orbit-prefix=/opt/orbit
              --with-orbit-exec-prefix=/opt/orbit

  [snip]
  checking for orbit-config... /opt/orbit/bin/orbit-config-mt
  checking for ORBit - version >= 0.5.7... yes
  checking for orbit-idl... /usr/bin/orbit-idl
  [snip]
  creating Makefile
  sed: file conftest.s1 line 67: Unterminated `s' command
  sed: file conftest.s2 line 1: Unknown command: ``-''
  [snip]


- The support for predefined CORBA-sequences is broken:

  Try to compile the output 'orbit-idl -lc++' produces
  from the following idl-code:

  module CorbaSigC
  {
    typedef sequence<any> ParamList;

    interface Slot {
      any call( in ParamList params );
    };
  }

  It will contain the following expressions that produce errors:

  -- ::_orbitcpp::c::CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any

     This is declared in orb/corba_sequences.h and so not included
     inside namespace _orbitcpp { namespace c { [...] } }

  -- ::_orbitcpp::c::CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any__alloc

     This isn't declared anywhere !

  I'm sorry that I can't write a buxfix for this myself but I have
  no idea how the correct output would look like and where to handle
  the spcecial sequence types.


Keep going,

  Martin.
