94192 - Typedef lookups don't work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Java to XPCOM Bridge, defect)

Description

[edburns]

This depends on bug 94186.  

If 94186 is fixed, this bug will manifest itself.  This bug prevents the type 
mapping stored in xpidl_java.c: 

static gboolean
type_declaration(TreeState *state) 

from being useful in an #include file case.

Like this

A.idl:

typedef long AType;

B.idl:

#include "A.idl"

void f(AType t);

AType is not understood because, for some reason the type_declaration() method 
isn't called on processing of includes.

The fix for 94186 fixed this bug.

--
This bug happened because typedef lookup was not called in a right time.
See fix for 94186 for the datails

[Marcus Fellinger]

This bug should be reopened. The fix for bug #94186 doesn't fix this, since 
xpidl_idl.c uses a separate parse tree for each #include'd file, so the 
typedefs from the #include-file aren't accessible when parsing the including-
file. See patch for bug #123651 for details.
