Eof parse error

[choubacha]

I'm getting an EOF error when trying to parse the stellar x files:

$ xdrgen xdr/Stellar-SCP.x
Failed: parse error: Eof: namespace stellar
{

https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/tree/master/src/xdr

Any idea what might cause this?

namespace stellar at the top of the file is not part of the grammar it parses. I've never seen that in a .x file before, so maybe it's a new/non-standard extension.

Edit: yep https://github.com/xdrpp/xdrpp/blob/47930c21ef0d5047dad79a5c87b4ff2412d0cbdd/doc/xdrc.1.md#extensions-to-rfc4506

Also the %#include "xdr/Stellar-types.h" won't work because that only makes sense for C/C++. You need to define all the types within the .x file so that it can generate appropriate corresponding Rust types.

Interesting, I'll need to read the full rfc. Stellar uses these files for several libraries. The namespace seems like a nice addition to specify a mod it should be put into.

As for the includes, it may take some modifications to make them work for rust directly, which would be less ideal because maintenance of them as a separate set of .x will be frustrating. But the may do that for the other languages.
