---------------------------------------
Hi Senaka,
I need these type defs especially for long (int64_t) and unsigned longs
(uint64_t). We have several member variables with very large values, i.e., they
need more than 4 bytes to be represented. In the current form, these values
would be truncated on 32-bit windows machines which is not acceptable.
The other primitive types would be nice to have defined as I have suggested as
well because it would give the programmer a choice to further optimize the
code. But I see that in some situations it is better to leave them as they are.
To give the typedefs more flexibility, it might make sense to add another
option on the WSDL2C tool which would allow someone to either use the primitive
types as they are now (i.e., int, and longs) or using ansi fixed sized types
(int32_t, int64_t, ...). This would probably be the best solution.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks Senaka.
Cheers,
Frank

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-919
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wsdl2c tool
> Affects Versions: Current (Nightly)
> Reporter: Frank Huebbers
>
> I'm running into a problem with Axis2/C regarding the primitive types used in
> certain situations, especially when using Axis2/C cross platform and cross
> implementation. Specifically, I have several primitive types which are longs
> to represent values in excess of 2GB. This works fine on C# and Java (which
> we are using on our platforms). However, on C++ compiled on a WinXP 32-bit
> system, the long type is only 4 bytes long (as the int type) and thus not
> sufficient to represent large numbers.
> The way I have gotten around this problem while keeping cross-platform
> compatibility in mind are the following defines:
> #if defined(_WINDOWS)
> // Windows doesn't have any of the standard ANSI size invariant
> // Ansi types
> typedef unsigned __int8 uint8_t;
> typedef __int8 int8_t;
> typedef unsigned __int16 uint16_t;
> typedef __int16 int16_t;
> typedef unsigned __int32 uint32_t;
> typedef __int32 int32_t;
> typedef unsigned __int64 uint64_t;
> typedef __int64 int64_t;
> #else
> // Non Windows platforms should have this header file, which should
> // give access to the ansi types like uint8_t etc.
> #include <stdint.h>
> #endif // !_WINDOWS
> Is it possible to use these ansi types instead of types which will invariably
> truncate very large numbers, such as longs? I would consider this to be a
> very important improvement to the generated code.
> Any further comments are highly appreciated.
> Cheers,
> Frank
