Issue 1960:  Mapping of Java arrays (java2idl-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: Generated names in the ::org::omg::sequences module can clash.
 For example, a Java array of type foo[][] and a Java array of type
 seq_foo[] both map to ::org::omg::sequences::seq_seq_foo.
 
 I propose that instead of using repeated "seq_" prefixes for the 
 array dimensions, a single prefix "seq<n>_", where <n> is the
 number of dimensions, should be used.  This ensures no clashes.
 In the example above, these Java types would map to seq2_foo and 
 seq1_seq_foo.
 

Resolution: 
Revised Text: :org::omg::sequences::seq_seq_foo.
