dcopidl and const qualifier

[Erwin Burgstaller]

I'd like to have dcopidl recognizing the modern style of placing
"const", 'cause it's more logical to read.  See
http://www.possibility.com/Cpp/Const.html for more information.

But unfortunately dcopidl quits with error on e.g. "QString const& foo".
So I've tried the following patch:

> diff -r yacc.yy orig/yacc.yy
589,595d588
<       | type_name T_CONST T_AMPERSAND {
<            if (dcop_area) {
<               QString* tmp = new QString("<TYPE  qleft=\"const\"
qright=\"" AMP_ENTITY "\">%1</TYPE>");
<               *tmp = tmp->arg( *($1) );
<               $$ = tmp;
<            }
<         }
601,605d593
<       | type_name T_CONST  {
<               QString* tmp = new QString("<TYPE>%1</TYPE>");
<               *tmp = tmp->arg( *($1) );
<               $$ = tmp;
<       }

And it works so far, so it seems to be easy to do. In stub and skeleton
there's still the old style const used. I tried to change
«qleft=\"const\" qright=\""» to «qleft=\"\" qright=\"const\""», but then
dcopidl2cpp is getting troubles:

ASSERT: "a.tagName() == "TYPE"" in ../../../dcop/dcopidl2cpp/skel.cpp
(116) 
...

So I'm leaving this alone for the moment.

What do you think about having that improvement, who can add it?

BTW: yacc.yy has to be converted with bison-1.35 (took me a while):
bison-1.35 -t -d -v -o yacc.cc yacc.yy
