Issue 1806:  Mapping of structure, union or exception types (ada-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Revision
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: In the mapping of structure, union or exception types, the same 
 complex_declarator component may occur in two or more structure 
 definitions, the name of the generated types will collide in the 
 proposed mapping. It would be wise to prepend the name of the 
 enclosing structure:

In the mapping of structure, union or exception types, the same 
complex_declarator component may occur in two or more structure 
definitions, the name of the generated types will collide in the 
proposed mapping. It would be wise to prepend the name of the 
enclosing structure:   struct Example {
       long member1, member2;
       boolean member3 [4] [8];
    };
maps to
   type Example_Member3_Array is array (0 .. 3, 0 .. 7) of 
         Corba.Boolean;
   type Example is
   record
        Member1 : Corba.Long ;
        Member2 : Corba.Long ;
        Member3 : Example_Member3_Array ;
   end record;

This will highly reduce the risk such a name collision.
