---------------------------------------
Summary: generated AbstractRegionEntry subclasses as part of build
and do not check them in
Key: GEODE-2093
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2093
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Reporter: Darrel Schneider
Currently a large number of leaf subclasses of AbstractRegionEntry are
generated manually by running a script. The generated source is under source
control instead of being transient. A C preprocessor file is used to describe
how to generate the files.
It might be better to do this generation as part of the build instead of it
being a manual step.
It might be better for the generated source to be transient instead of under
source control.
A better, Java based way, may exist to deal with this instead of using the C
preprocessor.
One of the things to keep in mind would be how we would debug issues with this
code and how will the IDEs support working with the code. Having the generated
source checked in helps in both these areas but also can lead to developers
directly modifying the generated source and not updating the cpp file.
