[omniORB] TRUE, FALSE, and long

[Laurent Pointal]

[omniORB2.7.1, NT4SP1]

Hello,

I recently make the following error in one of my IDL files:

	const long MY_VALUE	= FALSE ;

omniidl2 has no problem with that, but when I use another IDL compiler, I
get an error about incompatible types... posting in the list of the other
ORB, it seems that TRUE/FALSE are values for a boolean, not for a long (as
they can be used in C/C++). Can omniidl2 be modified to refuse boolean
values for long types?

As I deal with problem of bool values, I have a recurent warning from
omniorb sources:

Q:\omniorb_2.7.1\include\omniORB2/bufferedStream.h(621) : warning C4800:
'unsigned char' : forcing value to bool 'true' or 'false' (performance
warning)

If the "pd_byte_order = b;" could be replaced by "pd_byte_order = (b==0);",
I think this will remove the warning.

Merci.

A+

Laurent.
