[omniORB] omniidl2-Parsing error?

[David Riddoch]

Jan,

The spec says that although the case of identifiers is significant, two
identifiers may not differ only in case. This means that in your sample
IDL <R_dodo> and <r_dodo> collide, and correctly cause a compilation
error (ref CORBA 2.2 3.2.3). It is exactly as if you had written:

...
  long   bla( out R_dodo R_dodo );
...

The reason for this is to allow mappings to languages which are case
insensitive.

David
