[omniORB] LPRFE: omniidl2 should report errors against the original idl file

[Nathan Banks]

Howdy,

Low Priority Request for Enhancement (LPRFE):

Please consider modifying omniidl2(1) such that it reports errors against the
original .idl source, not the temporary .cc file. I have attached an example
output from one of my compilation runs below. It indicates an error at line 47
of /tmp/idli_a001R4.cc. Unless coincidence matches reality (tmp file lines match
source file lines coincidentally), I have found that the reported line number is
actually in reference to the source IDL file - bsc.idl. If the tool would print
the name of the original source this will simplify locating errors particularly
if your editor or IDE supports a "go-to-this-error" button.

Thanks for providing such an excellent CORBA implementation at such an
affordable price!

Cheers,
Nathan
