[omniORB] omniidl2 bug ?????

[Douglas Kosovic]

Hi,

A patch for omniORB-2.7.1's omniidl2 which fixes the ObjectRef/typedef
bug for exception members can be found at the end of this email.

For example, if omniidl2 tries to compile the follwing IDL, a core
dump will occur:
 
   interface RefObject;
 
   typedef RefObject DesignatorType;
 
   exception InvalidDesignator {
     DesignatorType designator;  //the trouble-maker line!
   };
 
   interface RefObject {
     attribute boolean foo;
  };

The exception member patch is based on how omniidl2 handles typedef
ObjectRefs as IDL union members.

Doug.
