[xsd-users] Feature request: Explicit constructors

[Benjamin Schindler]

Hi

I just stumbled across a problem with explicit conversions. I have a
class with 2 constructors:

MyClass(FrameKind, double)
MyClass(const std::string&, double)

Now, FrameKind is a class generated from xml, and it looks like this:

<xs:simpleType name="FrameKind_t">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="Regular" />
      <xs:enumeration value="TrackGlobal" />
      <xs:enumeration value="TimeGlobal" />
      <xs:enumeration value="WorldGlobal" />
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>

When calling the constructor with MyClass("someText", 1.0), the compiler
refuses as the string someText can be implicitly converted to a
FrameKind. Would it be possible to make this constructor explicit
preventing the implicit conversion?

Thank You
