[omniORB] Another IDL compiler output problem for VC++ in recent snapshots

[Carl Thompson]

Hello,

      I am trying to compile code generated by omniidl with VC++6sp5 but I 
am getting errors related to exception class generation and use  It works 
fine with gcc and with older snapshots so I think this is a VC++ 
incompatibility introduced in recent snapshots.  I am using 20011031.  The 
relevant sections of the IDL are:

module LIBSAMS {
interface Daemon : Component {
   exception NoSuchMStore {};
   exception MSConfExists {};
   exception NoSuchMSConf {};
   exception UserExists {};
   exception NoSuchUser {};
   exception NoSuchAgent {};

   ...

};

interface Auth {
   exception InvalidLogin {
     enum ReasonType { UNKNOWN, USERID_TOO_LONG } reason;
   };

   ...

};

};


The errors I'm getting are:
