[odb-users] Problem: odb.exe fails to generate valid hxx/cxx file, not adding shared_ptr<T> in typedef

[Wayne Hackle]

Yes Boris, that solves it, thanks!
I actually looked into the Visual Studio building file, and found out the automatically generated .bat file contains the correct odb command line. now with your explanation it's all clear.
do you mind me asking another question: what puzzles me infinitely now is, how does the VC project run the "odb" commandline automatically before the actual "exe" file is created? I looked looked and looked more, and couldn't find where the trick is.
Thanks!
