[xsd-users] Compilation error with xsd:decimal mapped to long double

[Felix Hoppe]

Hallo,

I have the following problem: I tried to re-map the decimal type to 
"long double", as it is described for example in this mail 
https://www.codesynthesis.com/pipermail/xsd-users/2008-June/001776.html

However, now when I try to compile my code I get three error messages. 
Some excerpts of the errors (for errors 2 and 3 I omitted text for the 
sake of brevity):

The xsdcxx version is 4.0.0, libxerces-c is 3.2.3. Tried different 
compilers like clang 10 or gcc 8.5 or 9.

Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance,
Felix
