some problems with code generation

[mitrii]

I've recently started playing with EA (wonderful tool!), after some testing I've ran into problems...don't know it these are bugs or features, or I'm doing something wrong:

1. Import and then export the following C++ class:

template <class T>
class Shared
{
public:
      T& GetObject();
      const T& GetObject() const;
protected:
     T object;
};

the outcome:

template <class T>
class Shared
{
public:
      T GetObject();
     T GetObject() const ;
protected:
     T object;
};
which is clearly wrong.

2. strange things happen with operator != overloading:

class A
{
public:
       bool operator!=(const A& prm);
};

import and export, the outcome is:

class A
{

public:
     bool operator=(const A& prm);
};
which is quite scarry (well, compiler should give an error).

I'm on Win2k professional, using latest build 479. Hope that helps.

P.S. Is it possible to look through all user-found bugs somewhere, since I might duplicate it already?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the bug report.  I have made the following changes for the next release of EA

- Types returned by reference (&) are imported into EA as <type>& (eg. T&)
- const methods are reversed and generated using the 'IsQuery' check box - implying they do not change the class state.
- const return type is specified and reversed using the operation 'const' checkbox

-the problem with operator!= has been corrected

These changes will be in the next update of EA - build 482 or higher - due out in a week or so.

Thanks again for the examples, hope this will help,
