[jira] [Commented] (PROTON-1840) [cpp] Nested complex types fail compilation with "incomplete type" error

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1840?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17528824#comment-17528824 ] 

Rakhi Kumari commented on PROTON-1840:
--------------------------------------

The root of error is in line `proton::value pv = am;’

The library does not support the direct conversion from a nested complex type to proton value (std::vector<std::map<proton::value, proton::value> > to proton::value).

The workaround for this is that we can split the encoding process into two.
proton::value pv = am;  _Split this into two steps._


std::vector<proton::value> v1 = \{m1, m2};   _// First encode std::map<proton::value, proton::value> into proton::value._

proton::value pv = v1;                                    _// Finally std::vector<proton::value> into proton::value._

> When using nested complex types (for example, a list of maps or an array of lists), the compiler fails to compile. For example, the following code snippet (saved as {{ctt.cpp}}):
> {noformat}
> #include <map>
> #include <vector>
> #include <proton/types.hpp>
> int main(int, char**) {
>     std::map<proton::value, proton::value> m1 = {{uint8_t(0), "zero"}, {uint8_t(1), "one"}};
>     std::map<proton::value, proton::value> m2 = {{true, "true"}, {false, "false"}};
>     std::vector<std::map<proton::value, proton::value> > am = {m1, m2};
>     proton::value pv = am;
> }{noformat}
