CORBA24 — #pragma rules are too restrictive

  • Key: CORBA24-71
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3269
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd ( Michi Henning)
  • Summary:

    I think the current rules for #pragma are too tight and we need to relax
    them. In particular, for the ID pragma (page 10-43):

    If an attempt is made to assign a repository ID to the same
    IDL construct a second time, a compile-time diagnostic shall
    be emitted, regardless of whether the second ID is in conflict or not:

    interface A {};
    #pragma ID A "IDL:A:1.1"
    #pragma ID A "IDL:X:1.1" // Compile-time error

    interface B {};
    #pragma ID B "IDL:BB:1.1"
    #pragma ID B "IDL:BB:1.1" // Compile-time error

    This causes problems with separate compilation. For example:

    // x.idl
    namespace Foo

    { // ... };
    #pragma ID Foo "IDL:blah:1.0"

    // y.idl
    namespace Foo { // ... }

    ;
    #pragma ID Foo "IDL:blah:1.0"

    // z.idl
    #include "x.idl"
    #include "y.idl"

    The same problem arises with the version pragma, because I may want to
    change the version in two different source files.
