[xsde-users] xsd/e: Compiler warnings from copy ctor of var_const_iterator (sequence.hxx:428)

[Jonathan Haws]

I'm running xsd/e version 3.2.0 (the latest from what I can tell) with
newer GCC compilers (7.5, 9,2, 9.3). I'm finding that some versions (9 and above) will give me a warning about a deprecated copy when using the following construct (GCC 7 does not give a warning):

   for (auto &c : xml.choice())
   {
   }


I've tracked this down to the copy constructor in sequence.hxx at line
428. Because this copy constructor exists, the compiler will issue a warning as follows:


warning: implicitly-declared ‘constexpr
xsde::cxx::hybrid::var_const_iterator<sensor::choice_type>::var_const_i
terator(const
xsde::cxx::hybrid::var_const_iterator<sensor::choice_type>&)’ is
deprecated [-Wdeprecated-copy]

  569 |       operator!= (var_const_iterator<T> i,
var_const_iterator<T> j)


The code seems to behave the same at runtime when I remove that copy
constructor and just use the compiler default (which from what I can
tell should produce nearly identical code). All versions of GCC that I have tried build properly and no issues at runtime.

Can you help me understand what is going on? Is there a newer version
of xsd/e that I can use?  If so, where do I find that because the
download page only has version 3.2.0 listed? Is there a better way to fix these warnings other than removing that ctor?

Thanks!
Jon
