Hi all,
I often need to generate IDL code (using the MDG Corba plugin).
When using the Auto Generate files checkbox, each and every class, interface and enumeration in a package goes into its own IDL file, even though they all share the same Corba module in the generated code. However I would like to send all generated IDL for a package into a single .idl file.
My existing workaround:
If I don't check "Auto Generate", I am prompted one at a time, for every one of these elements for a target file, at which point I can select the same filename and end up with all elements in the one file.
However this is very laborious when there are a lot of elements, and a royal
:-( if I want to change a filename.
Given the dialog box appears to be common for all languages I would assume the problem exists for C++ although often good coding practice would suggest that generally there would be a separate H file per class.
I note that when generating SQL DDL, however, I have the option to send all tables to one file.
I would like to see the ability to optionally (not by default) see all generated code go to the same file, without having to manually set the file one at a time after resetting code generation settings for the package.
(The equivalent setting for DDL generation is the radio button "Single File")
