[orbitcpp-list] bug: const not static

[Artem Gr <ar...@bi...>]

For


8<--------------------------------------------------------------------->8
interface Checker {
  struct Property {
    ...
  }
  typedef sequence<Property> Properties;
  ...
}
8<--------------------------------------------------------------------->8


orbitcpp 0.30.1
generates following const definitions in class Checker:


8<--------------------------------------------------------------------->8
const CORBA::TypeCode_ptr _tc_Property = (CORBA::TypeCode_ptr)&::_orbitcpp::c::TC_Checker_Property_struct;
static const CORBA::TypeCode_ptr _tc_Properties = (CORBA::TypeCode_ptr)&::_orbitcpp::c::TC_Checker_Properties_struct;
8<--------------------------------------------------------------------->8


As we can see, orbitcpp generate "static const" for "Properties",
but only "const" for "Propery".
But all initialized class member must be declared "static" in C++,
therefore gcc complains (and exits with error):


8<--------------------------------------------------------------------->8
In file included from Checker-cpp-stubs.hh:11,
                 from Checker-cpp-common.cc:6:
Checker-cpp-common.hh:55: ANSI C++ forbids initialization of member `_tc_Property'
Checker-cpp-common.hh:55: making `_tc_Property' static

P.S.
All is working fine when we manually replace generated "const" with "static const".
I currently use following perl program (between corba-idl and g++) as temporary solution:

8<--------------------------------------------------------------------->8
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $file = shift @ARGV;
die "usage patch.pl FILE" if ! -r $file;

open( 'fh', "< $file" ) or die "Can't open $file: $!";
my $body = join( '', <fh> );
close( 'fh' );

my $rw = "\tstatic const CORBA::TypeCode_ptr";
$body =~ s/\tconst CORBA::TypeCode_ptr/$rw/ig;

open( 'fh', "> $file" ) or die "Can't open > $file: $!";
print {'fh'} $body;
close( 'fh' ) or die "Can't close $file: $!";
