idl-parser 3.0.0: idl parse error observed when idl contains a struct which references an array typedef

[srchaitu2008]

The below mentioned idl file parsing fails with below mentioned error (idl-parser 3.0.0 is used alongwith fast-dds-gen 3.3.0) :

IDL file:

module module1
{
enum mod1_enum_val
{
value1, //1
value2 //2
}; //mod1_enum_val
}; //module1
const module1::mod1_enum_val enum1 = module1::mod1_enum_val::value1;
typedef string StringU;
typedef int32 IntArray[23];
struct SampleStruct
{
StringU stringU;
IntArray ArrayInt32;
}; //SampleStruct

Error:

Processing the file /tmp/IdlParseError.idl...
/tmp/IdlParseError.idl:11:26: error: Error evaluating array dimension: ;enum1=module1::mod1_enum_val::value1;enum1=module1::mod1_enum_val::value1;(23) | 0
/tmp/IdlParseError.idl:15:3: error: 'IntArray' was not defined previously

In the above idl file, there is a struct which tries to declare an int array as typedef. One observation is that when the enum declaration (const module1::mod1_enum_val enum1 = module1::mod1_enum_val::value1;) is removed/commented, the parsing works fine.

Below command is used :

<Path to java11 exe> -jar <path to fastddsgen.jar> -replace -ppDisable -d <path to folder where files should be generated> <path to IdlParseError.idl file>

For example:

"/home/user/java11/jre/bin/java" -jar "/home/user/fastddsgen.jar" -replace -ppDisable -d "/home/user/SampleFolder" "/home/user/IdlParseError.idl"

Additionally, please check the below IDL file as well:

module Top
{
const uint32 MAXLEN = 64;
const uint32 SeqLenAssumingThisModule = MAXLEN;
const uint32 SeqLen = Top::MAXLEN;
}; //Top
struct Sub
{
int32 userID;
double f64Data;
uint8 vChar;
}; //Sub
typedef Sub SubSequence[Top::SeqLen];
struct AllSubs
{
SubSequence Subs;
}; //AllSubs

Similar error is encountered:

Processing the file /tmp/IdlParseError_2.idl...
/tmp/IdlParseError_2.idl:13:36: error: Error evaluating array dimension: ;Top_MAXLEN=64;Top_SeqLenAssumingThisModule=MAXLEN;Top_SeqLen=Top::MAXLEN;(Top_SeqLen) | 0

Hi @richiware ,

I have tried the fix and the previously mentioned IDL files are processing successfully.

Given below is another IDL file for which the processing fails with this fix as well:

module module1
{
enum mod1_enum_val
{
value1,
value2
}; //mod1_enum_val
}; //module1
const int32 myValUsingFullPathAsInt32 = module1::mod1_enum_val::value1;
const module1::mod1_enum_val myValUsingFullPath = module1::mod1_enum_val::value1;
const module1::mod1_enum_val myVal = module1::mod1_enum_val::value2;
module Top
{
const uint32 MAXLEN = 64;
const uint32 SeqLenAssumingThisModule = MAXLEN;
const uint32 SeqLen = Top::MAXLEN;
}; //Top
struct Sub
{
int32 userID;
double f64Data;
uint8 vChar;
}; //Sub
enum Modes
{
MODE1, //11
MODE2, //20
MODE3 //200
}; //Modes
const int32 myDefaultModeAsInt32 = Modes::MODE3;
const Modes myDefaultMode = Modes::MODE3;
const Modes myDefaultMode1 = Modes::MODE2;
typedef Sub SubSequence[Top::SeqLen];
struct AllSubs
{
SubSequence Subs;
}; //AllSubs

Error

Requesting you to take a look at this as well.

Hi @richiware ,

Can you please take a look at the above IDL file as well?
