omniidl2 Incorrect const parsing?

[Paul Nader]

Hi,

I get an error when trying to compile a constant as folows :

typedef string MyType;
const MyType constString = "Gday";

omniidl2 complains : coercion failure Gday to any. This happens both with
2.4.0 and 2.5.0 with the -a flag.



It obviously works if I compile it as 

const string constString = "Gday";


Is this a bug or is it expected behaviour?

Regards, Paul.
