            Bug ID: 132296
           Summary: Improve typedef support in generated C++ headers
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: sdk
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: straub at sb-software.de

cppumaker resolves typedefs in generated header files when defining typedefs in
.idl files:
typedef long XLongTypedef
typedef sequence<XLongTypedef> XLongSequenceTypedef
typedef XKeyValue XStructTypedef
typedef sequence<XStructTypedef> XStructSequenceTypedef

generated .hdl files contain:
typedef ::css::uno::Sequence< ::sal_Int32 > XLongSequenceTypedef;
typedef ::css::uno::Sequence< XKeyValue > XStructSequenceTypedef;

It would be better to generate the following, ie. avoid unrolling the typedef:
typedef ::css::uno::Sequence< XongTypedef > XLongSequenceTypedef;
typedef ::css::uno::Sequence< XStructTypedef > XStructSequenceTypedef;

Method declarations could also benefit:
idl: XLongTypedef aMethod([in] XLongSequenceTypedef arg)

currently results in the following .hdl declaration:
::sal_Int32 aMethod(const Sequence<::sal_Int32>& arg)

but this one would be nicer:
XLongTypdef aMethod(const XLongSequenceTypedef& arg)
