omniidl 3.0 should list the name of the backend for c++ in the
-u display. (i.e. specifically mention -bcxx). The PDF files
says this, and it's not consistent with the -u (which is the first
place people will look). It took me a good while to find out.
Also the omniorb.pdf file should reflect the need for a backend
because it no longer contains enough information for a first time
user. "Given and IDL omniidl produces two stub files."
I would suggest the cxx be the default backend and is automatically
used if no other backend is specified.
Q: How can specify the output extensions for c++ headers and source
files. Specifically rename .cc/.hh to .cpp/.hpp? omniidl 2.8 had
this feature with -s and -h, but it seems to have been removed.
Finally thanks for adding the -C option for specifing the output directory
for idl. My makefiles are simpler now. :)
