xsd2cpp nastily wipes a project's source code for an unsuspecting newbie #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cd to a folder of one of your personal projects which has its own src and 
include directories
2. xsd2cpp `pwd`/schemas/cml/schema.xsd .
3. watch helplessly as it discovers src and include and in a flash says its 
backing them up in xplus.bak

4. look in src, include and xplus.bak(which has an inner numbered folder) for 
your hand written source code.
5. Start sweating as you realize the your code is gone. Gone! Long gone!
6. control yourself as you write a bug report
7. Stare in disbelief at http://xmlplus.sourceforge.net/install.html where it 
says "outdir: directory to output the generated source to" without a hint of 
what it will do to your handwritten source code

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
xsd2cpp doing it's thing without wiping my hand written source code

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xmlplus-0.2.1 on CentOS 6.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Apologies for the trouble.
Please copy the attached file under "src/tools" and "make" again.
A release tarball will be provided when multiple bugs can be clubbed into one 
release.
