bug: can not generate data type with 'string'

[ibertli]

hello sir, i find a bug, when i define a data type using 'string' representation, ocarina raise error "Impossible to get the data size of this data", then i check the source code and find that when Data_Representation equals to Data_String, Value_Node was not updated in '../ocarina/src/backends/ast_c/ocarina-backends-c_tree-nutils.adb'. May be you can confirm whether it is a bug.

---

-- The example like this:
data person_name
properties
Data_Model::Data_Representation => string;
Data_Model::Dimension => (10);
end person_name;

subprogram print_a
features
port2: in parameter person_name;
end print_a;

---

and the source code like this:

---

     when Data_String | Data_Wide_String =>
        Value_UUL := Dimension (1);

---

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for reporting. Yes, this support has never been implemented.
A work-around is to use an array of char.

I will look into implementing this feature when time permits.
