C++11 mapping for IDL constants
OMG IDL constants are mapped directly to a C++ constant definition.
// IDL
const string name = "testing";interface A {
const long n = 5;
};
// C++
static constexpr std::string name = "testing";
class A {
public:
static constextr int32_t n = 5;
};
The mappings for wide character and wide string constants is identical to character and string constants, except that IDL literals are preceded by L in C++. For example, IDL constant:
const wstring ws = “Hello World”;
would map to
static constexpr std::wstring ws = L”Hello World”;
in C++.
