How to distinguish functions and structs with the same name

[luxingxiao]

There is a header file containing structs and functions with the same name, which will cause compilation problems when mapping. How to solve it?

I'm pretty sure Java can have classes and methods with the same name as well. Do you have a specific example that fails?

Header file fragment:

struct idl_name {
  idl_symbol_t symbol;
  char *identifier;
};
typedef struct idl_name idl_name_t;
IDL_EXPORT const idl_name_t *idl_name(const void *node);

'idl_name' is is the name of the structure and also the name of the function。
The following error will be reported when compiling:
linux-x86_64/jniJIdlc.cpp:657:114: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token
657 | static void JavaCPP_com_kernelsoft_jdatabus_global_JIdlc_00024idl_1name_deallocate(void p) { delete (::idl_name)p; }

I guess we'd have to modify JavaCPP to output "class" as part of the namespace of the struct somehow. Something like a @Name("class idl_name") annotation on the Java class might actually work though. Could you give that a try?

How to do it?
infoMap.put(new Info("idl_name").javaText("@name("class idl_name")")) ?

[saudet]

I don't think it's currently possible with the Parser to add easily an annotation like that to a class... Could you try to do it manually on a couple of classes and see if it helps?

It works! Thank you!
