problems with VC8.0

[stephan]

Hi!

I don't know exactly if this case matches to the bug that was fixed with one of the patches, thus I'd like to post the trouble code here. If I try to compile the slice2cpp-ed code of this module:

module TestModule
{
	dictionary<string, Ice::ByteSeq> FileMap;
	
	interface TestInterface
	{
		FileMap returnMyMap();
	};
};

I receive error messages on this result code:

void
TestModule::__read(::IceInternal::BasicStream* __is, ::TestModule::FileMap& v, ::TestModule::__U__FileMap)
{
    ::Ice::Int sz;
    __is->readSize(sz);
    while(sz--)
    {
	::std::pair<const  ::std::string, ::Ice::ByteSeq> pair;
	__is->read(const_cast< ::std::string&>(pair.first));
	::TestModule::FileMap::iterator __i = v.insert(v.end(), pair);
	::std::pair<const ::Ice::Byte*, const ::Ice::Byte*> _____i->second;
	__is->read(_____i->second);
	::std::vector< ::Ice::Byte>(_____i->second.first, _____i->second.second).swap(__i->second);
    }
}

Did I do something wrong or has the slice compiler cause this problem?

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for the bug report; it is not fixed by one of the existing 3.1.0 patches.

It's a bug in the code generated for dictionaries where the value is a byte sequence (the interface has nothing to do with it).

Best regards,
Bernard

Hi,

I have posted a patch for this problem here.

Thanks again for the bug report.
