C++ structs/Code engineering

[mbc]

I found out by accident, that C++ structs reverse engineer to classes with stereotype <<struct>> and forward engineer back into structs. I find this to be a very nice feature.

However, when I declare a new struct or struct member inside EA, the members will be declared as structs too when forward engineering.

That is, a class TestStruct1 with stereotype <<struct>> and two attributes Var1: int and Var2:char generates this code:

struct TestStruct1
{
   struct int Var1;
   struct char Var2;
};

where I would expect:

struct TestStruct1
{
   int Var1;
   char Var2;
};

Can anyone explain this behaviour, and/or tell me how to get EA to generate structs my way?

I see this too...anyone know why it does this?
