[Ace-users] [tao-users] TAO_IDL compiler + is this a bug?

[Sowayan, Abdullah (N-DUA)]

TAO Version: 1.6.2

I have a very simple IDL file, which is attached. We wanted to suppress
generation of inline files, so we use the following command to generate
the code:

tao_idl -Sci -Ssi Foo.idl

Should the generated code be something that one can compile and link
against? If not, I wonder what the purpose of having an option that
would generate code that someone can not use.

Below is the code that would be generated in the FooC.inl file had I not
suppressed inline code generation:

ACE_INLINE
Foo::Foo (
    TAO_Stub *objref,
    ::CORBA::Boolean _tao_collocated,
    TAO_Abstract_ServantBase *servant,
    TAO_ORB_Core *oc
  )
  : ::CORBA::Object (objref, _tao_collocated, servant, oc),
    the_TAO_Foo_Proxy_Broker_ (0)
{
  this->Foo_setup_collocation ();
}

ACE_INLINE
Foo::Foo (
    IOP::IOR *ior,
    TAO_ORB_Core *oc
  )
  : ::CORBA::Object (ior, oc),
    the_TAO_Foo_Proxy_Broker_ (0)
{
}

When I do a diff between FooC.cpp the version that had inlining
suppressed and the version that didn't you'll see the following
difference:

#if !defined (__ACE_INLINE__)
#include "FooC.inl"
#endif /* !defined INLINE */

When I do a diff between FooC.h the version that had inlining suppressed
and the version that didn't you'll see the following difference:

#if defined (__ACE_INLINE__)
#include "FooC.inl"
#endif /* defined INLINE */

So, when we suppress generation of inlined file, shouldn't the code in
the inlined files be placed in the cpp files?

Thanks,
Abdul
