extra ampersand in serializexxx methods

[Franz Fehringer <fe...@isogmbh.de>]

Hello,

Both AxisC 1.5 and the upcoming 1.6 have issues with serializexxx methods in
generated code.
The point is that all data items are passed as void* (opaque pointers).
Therefore integer items get an ampersand & applied in front like
pSZ->serializeAsAttribute( "xsi:nil", 0, (void*)&(xsd_boolean_true),
XSD_BOOLEAN);
But string/char*/AxisChar* items are already pointers themselves, so no
ampersand should be applied:
pSZ->serializeAsAttribute("MatchType", 0, (void*)(param->MatchType),
XSD_NMTOKEN);
What can now observed with my example is that AxisC 1.5 does it wrong in two
places:
pSZ->serializeAsAttribute("MatchType", 0, (void*)&(param->MatchType),
XSD_NMTOKEN);
pSZ->serializeAsChardata((void*)&(param->t_OrgNameSearch_value),
XSD_STRING);
whereas AxisC 1.6 is right in the first and still wrong in the second case:
pSZ->serializeAsAttribute("MatchType", 0, (void*)(param->MatchType),
XSD_NMTOKEN);
pSZ->serializeAsChardata((void*)&(param->t_OrgNameSearch_value),
XSD_STRING);
Note that the attached generated sources are from AxisC 1.6.
AxisC 1.5 has other issues with the code in question (attributes of type
XSD_NMTOKEN are not serialized at all; members of structs already out of
scope are accessed), but these seem to be fixed with AxisC 1.6.
Is this issue already known and present in JIRA?

Greetings

Franz
