Summary:
Summary: The C++ language mapping chapter contains many blocks of IDL like stuff
with the comment
// IDL
in the first line, but the stuff in the block is not valid IDL for
various reasons:
(i) Uses "pseudo" as an apparent keyword.
(ii) Contains declarations like
attribute exception exception;
I suggest that the comment "// IDL" be replaced by "// Augmented IDL
(see "Usage" on page x-y)" cross-referencing to section 20.23 Usage, so
that people know for sure that this is not IDL.
Furthermore, to make the claim in section 20.23 true, the declaration:
attribute exception exception;
should be fixed to be something else, or alternatively, the exceptional
use of exception should be called out as a specific augmentation of IDL
in section 20.23.
