[omniORB] const unsigned long 0xffffffff

[Melih Ercan xe44 9777]

When I define the following in IDL:

const unsigned long myConst=0xffffffff;

I got the following error msg from the IDL compiler:

omniidl2: "tank.idl", line 1: coercion failure -1 to unsigned long
omniidl2: tank.idl: found 1 error

It is obvious that the constant 0xffffffff is seen as signed (i.e. -1).
So I will get an error
message for all constants greater than 0x80000000. Is there a way to say
that 0xffffffff
is unsigned?

Regards.
