slice2html - forward declarations issue

[kwaclaw]

It seems slice2html cannot handle forward declarations. The following slice compiles fine for C#, Java or C++, but slice2html returns "test.ice:7: `two' is not defined".

module test {

interface two;  //forward

interface one {
  void do();
  two* getTwo();
};

interface two {
  void do();
};

};

Thanks for the report.

interface two;  //forward

This is caused by a bug in mcpp. It produces

//forward interface two;

as the preprocessed output.

As a work-around, you can move the comment onto a separate line, or you can rewrite this as

interface two; /* forward */

With a C-style comment, mcpp gets it right.

Cheers,
