[6.0] Failing to use STL containers in message by following the manual

[Thor Høgås]

Hi!

I'm trying to use std::vector as a field within a message by looking at section 6.8.1 of the manual.

However, I am failing to get any further: the example posted yields two errors:

1. Error: Type declarations are not needed with imports, try invoking the message compiler in legacy (4.x) mode using the --msg4 option
2. Error: unknown type 'IntVector' for field 'addresses' in 'FooPacket'

I am using OMNet++ 6.0pre6, and thus I thought the manual could be out of date, and that I should look at the source manual.

Unfortunately the source manual TeX files refer to the same examples, and after I posted a question regarding this on StackOverflow, I found the changelog notice mentioning the experimental msg6 mode, which is the new default in OMNet++ 6.0.

Are there some notes or examples re: the msg6 node for looking at? Should I perhaps look at INET4?

Kind regards,

Thor

It has changed a bit

With the new format, you need to use other approach

cplusplus {{

typedef std::vector<int> MyVectorInt;

}}

class MyVectorInt { @existingClass; }

Now you can use MyVectorInt like a field inside a packet.

Thank you, Alfonso. I also got a reply from Rudi at Stack Overflow. Hopefully, anyone else poking around will find the answer quick and easy.

Kind regards,
