Summary\n- Remove the unused XML_Helper template and its build entry.\n- Remove the repository-local XSCRT C++ runtime, which is no longer built by the XSC workspace; generated C++ uses ACE XML_Utils.\n- Retain NarrowTypes.idl for the IDL backend and retain the local CDR_Types.hpp until a new ACE release provides the shared header.\n- Modernize generated C++17 code, including eligible defaulted copy operations, range-based CDR sequence writers, and clearer generated parser/writer errors.\n- Fix traversal generation for escaped schema names, and preserve both mutable and read-only DanceX11 generated APIs.\n\nThe DanceX11 schemas are compiled in both modes as part of the test build. A runtime test verifies that copy-assigning an unset optional field clears the destination value. The full Tests MPC build and this runtime check pass locally.\n\nThe ACE-side CDR header is proposed separately in DOCGroup/ACE_TAO#2610.\n\n

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an option to generate read-only C++ types, with const-only member access and restricted construction and assignment.
    • Optional values in modern C++ now provide pointer-based accessors, supported by generated traversal and serialization code.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Copy-assigning an unset optional value now clears any previously set value.
    • Parsing and writing report descriptive errors for missing or unexpected root elements.
  • Changes
    • Removed legacy XML runtime helpers and related traversal, writing, and type-information APIs.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for read-only APIs, C++ compatibility, and optional-value copying.

Walkthrough

The changes add read-only C++ generation and update generated declarations, parsing, traversal, and serialization. They also remove XML_Helper and XSCRT runtime components, revise the Recursive example, add generated-code tests, and update version metadata, formatting, and the Linux workflow.

Changes

Read-only C++ generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read-only option and generation context
XSC/xsc.cpp, XSC/Version.hpp, XSC/be/CXX/Elements.hpp, XSC/be/CXX/Generator.cpp, XSC/be/IDL/Generator.cpp
Adds --cxx-read-only, passes the setting into generation contexts, disables CDR reader generation for read-only output, and writes version and command-line information to generated files.
Generated read-only declarations
XSC/be/CXX/Header.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/Inline.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/TraversalHeader.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/WriterHeader.cpp
Generated members omit mutable APIs in read-only mode. Optional accessors and construction and assignment declarations vary by C++ mode. Traversal and writer declarations use mode-specific virtual prefixes.
Generated parsing, traversal, and serialization
XSC/be/CXX/ParserHeader.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/ParserSource.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/Source.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/TraversalSource.cpp, XSC/be/CXX/WriterSource.cpp
Updates generated parser, traversal, and serialization code for read-only members and C++ modes. Generated parser and writer errors use descriptive runtime errors.
Read-only API and copy tests
Tests/ReadOnly/*, Tests/Tests.mwc, Tests/DanceX11/*, .github/workflows/linux.yml
Adds read-only API checks and C++03 coverage. Adds a runtime test for optional-value copy behavior and runs it in the Linux workflow.
Inline initializer formatting
CCF/CodeGenerationKit/IndentationCxx.hpp
Tracks initializer braces and writes those braces inline. Closing-brace newline handling changes.

XML and XSCRT runtime removals

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove XML_Helper and references
XSC/Parser.cpp, XSC/utils/XML_Helper.h, XSC/utils/XML_Helper_T.cpp, XSC/utils/XML_Schema_Resolver.h, XSC/utils/XSC_Utils.mpc
Deletes XML_Helper and its implementation, adjusts includes, and removes the implementation from the utility project template.
Remove schema types and traversal runtime
XSCRT/XMLSchema/*, XSCRT/XSCRT/Elements.*, XSCRT/XSCRT/ExtendedTypeInfo.*, XSCRT/XSCRT/Traversal.*
Deletes XML Schema types, identity and type-information support, traversal APIs, and schema writers.
Remove XML parser, writer, and utility APIs
XSCRT/XSCRT/XML.*, XSCRT/XSCRT/Parser.*, XSCRT/XSCRT/Writer.*, XSCRT/XSCRT/utils/*
Deletes XML wrappers, parser and writer APIs, and file and buffer reader/writer templates with their implementations.
Update runtime build and Recursive example
XSCRT/XSCRT/XSCRT.mpc, XSCRT/XSCRT/XSCRT_export.h, Examples/Recursive/recursive.*
Deletes the XSCRT project configuration and export header. The Recursive example switches to direct-value containers and removes ID-map setup and traversal and writer code.

Generated C++ can fail to compile for CDR-enabled inherited types and for derived types whose base has required members. A read-only plus random-access sequence combination also fails to compile. Non-ASCII command-line arguments can corrupt the generated file header output. Fix these before merging.

Pin the ACE baseline required by CDR-generated code.

When CDR generation is enabled, XSC/be/CXX/Header.cpp emits ace/XML_Utils/XMLSchema/CDR_Types.hpp, and the XSC-local XSCRT/XMLSchema/CDR_Types.hpp is removed. CI checks out DOCGroup/ACE_TAO without a revision and does not show a CDR-generation option. A build can therefore pass with an ACE revision that lacks the new header while downstream CDR-generated code fails to compile. Use an ACE revision that contains this header and add CDR-enabled validation.

164-165: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move the parsed nested Element into el_.

el_.push_back (t) copies the parsed subtree. Element (Element const&) copies el_ deeply. Each nested Element is therefore copied again at every level above it. For a tree of n nodes and depth d, parsing costs O(n·d) copies instead of O(n). This PR adds Element (Element&&) = default, but this call path does not use it. Construct the value in place.

The value_ and long__ branches at Lines 152-159 have the same pattern. Their cost is lower because those values do not recurse.

       else if (n == ACE_TEXT("el"))

-        ::Recursive::Element t (e);
-        el_.push_back (t);
+        el_.emplace_back (e);

ctor_args_, omit the all-required-members constructor declaration and definition
when read_only_ is true. Keep the existing private or deleted
default-constructor behavior unchanged.

Review comments at @XSC/be/CXX/Source.cpp:
- Around line 487-499: C++03 read-only optional-member output must use the
`_if_set()` accessor, not the writable-only `_p()` and reference getter. Add and
reuse an `optional_via_if_set()` predicate in the `Header.cpp`, `Inline.cpp`,
`Source.cpp`, and `TraversalSource.cpp` generation paths; update both optional
CDR presence checks and value-writing branches to follow it. In the traversal
`_if_set()` branch, emit an explicit `type const*` declaration for C++03
read-only output instead of `auto`.

Review comments at @XSC/be/CXX/TraversalSource.cpp:
- Around line 90-111: Update the traversal accessor generation in
TraversalSource.cpp to match the accessors declared by Header.cpp: required
elements should always use the direct getter, while optional attributes should
use the direct getter only when cppmode_ is CPPMODE::CPP03 and !read_only_, and
otherwise check the _if_set() accessor before dispatching.

Reject read-only output for pre-C++17 modes.

ParserSource.cpp emits return type (e); for read-only readers. Header.cpp makes the copy constructor private in C++03 and deletes copy and move construction in C++11. Pre-C++17 return-value elision does not remove the constructor accessibility requirement, so generated readers can fail to compile.

The ReadOnly test project enables --cxx-cpp03 with --cxx-read-only, so it exercises this unsupported combination. Reject --cxx-read-only with --cxx-cpp03 and --cxx-cpp11, or make the generated read-only type returnable in those modes. In C++03, IDREF registration also occurs while constructing type (e), after the generated reader calls resolve_idref(), so those references can remain unresolved.

Reject the unsupported combination of read_only_ with CPPMODE::CPP03 or
CPPMODE::CPP11 during option validation, so ParserSource.cpp does not emit
read-only readers that cannot be returned in those modes. Keep read-only output
available for supported C++ modes.

🟠 Major · Keep sequence values movable in read-only mode. · Header.cpp:666-667

XSC/be/CXX/Header.cpp:666-667
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep sequence values movable in read-only mode.

If --cxx-read-only and --cxx-enable-random-access-sequences are used together, XSC/be/CXX/Header.cpp stores sequence values in std::vector. The generated parser in XSC/be/CXX/Source.cpp calls emplace_back(e), but these deleted copy and move constructors make a generated complex value ineligible for vector insertion. Keep read-only values movable without exposing mutable member APIs, or use storage that does not require moving values. (eel.is)
