• Bug#265238: ace: tao_idl generates often incorrect things

    Package: ace
    Severity: normal

    Using tao_idl with these flags: -Gv -Sp -Sd -Sc, and with OBV
    structures.

    It seems that the TAO_IDL at least in 5.4 has number of bugs:
    - it doesn't always generate correct #includes to *C.cpp
    - it lacks some newlines after comment in *S.cpp, which leads to horrid bugging (my workaround was something along these lines:
    perl -i.bak -pe 's/(INLINE \*\/)(static)/$1\n$2/g' `egrep 'INLINE.*static' **/*S.cpp | cut -d ':' -f 1 | uniq`)
    - it also failed mystically on some IDL files I had (sorry, no further
    detail on that unfortunately)

    Are you planning upgrade to the beta-kit 5.4.1 anytime soon? Typically
    they fix tons of bugs during the kits also, so sticking with buggy
    major version sounds dangerous.
