Sorry, Roman, I really meant to send to the mailing list! :-)

Hello, I am hitting a problem in pygccxml regarding anonymous enums used as
class member variables.

Something like this:

class SomeObject
{
public:

    enum {
        TYPE_FOO,
        TYPE_BAR,
    } type;
};

When I scan this, pygccxml tells me the attribute 'type' of 'SomeObject' is
of type 'SomeObject'.  I happily try to generate code for this, and of
course the generated code does not even compile:

[14/25] cxx: build/default/tests/foomodule2.cc ->
build/default/tests/foomodule2_9.o
default/tests/foomodule2.cc: In function 'int
_wrap_PySomeObject__set_type(PySomeObject*, PyObject*)':
default/tests/foomodule2.cc:6211: error: cannot convert 'SomeObject' to
'SomeObject::<anonymous enum>' in assignment
Build failed

It would be better if pygccxml reported the type as  "SomeObject::<anonymous
enum>", like GCC does.  This way at least I will not be lead me to generate
invalid code (I prefer no code at all than erroneous code).

This with pygccxml 0.9.5, gccxml 2008-04-20.

My work around for the moment is:

                real_type = type_traits.remove_declarated(member.type)
                if hasattr(real_type, 'name') and not real_type.name:
                    print >> sys.stderr, ">>>>>>>>>>>>>> skip anonymous
type"
                    continue

Take care,
