Reported By

Date

Platforms

All

Version

omniORB 2.7.0 and earlier

Description

Defining constructed types in the declaration of an exception field causes wrong code to be generated, and in the case of enums causes omniidl2 to abort. For example, the following IDL compiles okay because the struct is defined outside of the exception:

       struct S { short a; };

       exception X { S anS; };

However, these legal examples fail:

       exception X1 {
         struct S { short a; } anS;
       };

       exception X2 {
         enum Y { Y_1, Y_2} v;
       };
