[xsde-users] Re: C++ enum mapping

[Thomas Frenzel (TomSun)]

Hi Boris,

i've already tried the pre-release version. Everything works fine (the static polymorphic() method as well as the enum mapping). Very nice... :) Thank you!

Regards,
Tom

  Ok, the binary is ready:
  
  http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/xsde-3.2.0.a1-i686-windows.zip
  
  You should be able to just copy your config files over and use it as
  xsde-3.1.0-i686-windows. The two relevant changes are (quoting the
  NEWS file):
  
    * String-based types that use XML Schema restriction by enumeration are 
      now mapped to C++ classes with semantics similar to C++ enum. You can 
      suppress this new mapping and instead get the old behavior (plain 
      inheritance) by specifying the --suppress-enum compiler option. See
      Section 4.3, "Enumerations" in the Getting Started Guide for more
      information.
  
    * When the code is generated with the --generate-polymorphic or
      --runtime-polymorphic option, the resulting parser and serializer
      aggregate classes provide the static polymorphic() function which 
      returns true if the object model corresponding to the root element 
      or root type is polymorphic and false otherwise. This can be used 
      together with the XSDE_POLYMORPHIC macro to implement generic parsing
      and serialization code that works with both polymorphic and non-
      polymorphic object models.
  
  Let us know if you run into any problems.
  
  Boris
