[xsd-users] naming issue w/serialization and parsing

[Rizzuto, Raymond]

Hi!

I'm generating serialization functions for my schema, and having some naming issues.  For classes that are lowercase (header, message, etc) the output serialization function names are getting an underscore appended:

    void
    message_ (::std::ostream& os,
              const ::sdmp::messages::message& x,
              const ::xml_schema::namespace_infomap& m,
              const ::std::string& e = "UTF-8",
              ::xml_schema::flags f = 0);

Classes that are upper case (Instrument, etc) have a serialize function that is a lower case version of the class name:

    void
    instrument (::std::ostream& os,
                const ::sdmp::messages::Instrument& x,
                const ::xml_schema::namespace_infomap& m,
                const ::std::string& e = "UTF-8",
                ::xml_schema::flags f = 0);

I'm guessing the that the message_ name was created to prevent the name from looking like a constructor.   Since this is a bit confusing, I'd rather have the serialize name be something like Class_serialize.

I was able to almost get the behavior I wanted with --serializer-regex /(.+)/$1_serialize/ - the problem is that Instrument's serialization becomes instrument_serialize.  This is what the trace says:

serialization function name: 'instrument'
try: '(.+)' : 'instrument_serialize' : +

I'm guessing that the function naming style is coming in to play here, though I am not sure.   Can you suggest what I can do so the serialize function name maintains the capitalization of the element being serialized?  I.e. so Instrument's serialization function would be Instrument_serialize?

On a related issue, I have elements in the schema that differ only in the case of the first letter (OrderInstruction and orderInstruction).  orderInstruction is actually derived from OrderInstruction.  The problem is I only see serialization functions for orderInstruction:

    void
    orderInstruction_serialize (::std::ostream& os,
                                const ::sdmp::messages::orderInstruction& x,
                                const ::xml_schema::namespace_infomap& m,
                                const ::std::string& e = "UTF-8",
                                ::xml_schema::flags f = 0);

There is no serialize function that takes a ::sdmp::messages::OrderInstruction.
