[xsd-users] Compiler errors occurred in the generated *.hxx files from CodeSynthesis 3.2

[William Canton]

I am not sure what was causing the following compiler errors in the
generated header file:

1>c:\test\generated\codf.hxx(391) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';'
before identifier 'FileSystem_type'
1>c:\test\generated\codf.hxx(391) : error C2838: 'FileSystemType' : illegal
qualified name in member declaration
1>c:\test\generated\codf.hxx(391) : error C4430: missing type specifier -
int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>c:\test\generated\codf.hxx(392) : error C2065: 'FileSystem_type' :
undeclared identifier
1>c:\test\generated\codf.hxx(393) : error C2065: 'FileSystem_type' :
undeclared identifier
1>c:\test\codf.hxx(402) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed.
Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>c:\test\codf.hxx(402) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '&'
1>c:\test\generated\codf.hxx(408) : error C2065: 'FileSystem_type' :

1>MyApp.cpp

The codf.hxx was generated by the CodeSynthesis after compiling the XML
Schema file codf.xsd.  But when I included this header file in my MyApp.cpp
file, the build failed with various mysterious syntax errors while
processing the codf.hxx header.  When I opened the codf.hxx file, it has a
snippet of content as follows surrounding the location of the reported
errors:

386  void
387  OCConfiguration (const OCConfiguration_sequence& s);
388
389  // FileSystem
390  //
391  typedef ::FileSystemType FileSystem_type;
392  typedef ::xsd::cxx::tree::optional< FileSystem_type >
FileSystem_optional;
393  typedef ::xsd::cxx::tree::traits< FileSystem_type, char >
FileSystem_traits;

It's unclear to me why my Visual Studio C++ 2008 reported an error on line
number 391.  The was the first build error detected.  Before this line,
there is a function on line 387 returning a "void" type.  This could have
caused the error.  It seemed like the compiler somehow could not even
recognize the keyword "void."

Any idea what could have caused these strange compiler's behavior?
