[xsd-users] XSD C++ code generation error

[Mikhail Evstiounin]

Hi,

XSD generated the following code:

hxx file:

namespace xml_schema

{

…

…

  typedef ::xsd::cxx::tree::type type;

…

namespace up

{

…

  class results: public ::xml_schema::type

  {

…

    static const success_type success_default_value_;

…

  };

…

}

…

}







cxx file:

namespace xml_schema

{

…

namespace up

{

…

    typedef ::xml_schema::type success_type;

…

  const results::success_type results::success_default_value_( );

…

}

…

}



It produces the following error (gcc 4.1.1):





document-envelope.cxx:2882: error: no ‘const xml_schema::type
up::results::success_default_value_()’ member function declared in class
'up::results'

document-envelope.cxx:2882: error: declaration of ‘const xml_schema::type
up::results::success_default_value_()’ outside of class is not definition



If you change it  a little bit:

namespace xml_schema

{

…

namespace up

{

…

  const results::success_type results::success_default_value_;// ( );

…

}

…

}

It compiles normally.


Since there is no default value this type of declaration (of a class static
member) is considered as a function definition. Per many C++ name resolution
discussions, rationale is made to lean to a "function definition", not a
"variable declaration" -- too many code rely on it.

Proposal -- to fix XSD in part of static member declaration not to use "()"
if default c-tor is used.

Truly yours
