Description Graham Lund CLA 2023-02-15 02:46:35 EST 
If the Ptr stereotype is applied to a parameter/property with multiplicity > 1 and the ListHint stereotype has been applied, then the generated code is not as I expected, for example:
std::vector<MyClass>* rather than std::vector<MyClass*>
Comment 1 Ansgar Radermacher CLA 2023-02-20 04:33:46 EST 
It is not so clear what the code generator should do in that case. It is also possible that the user wants to pass the vector itself as a pointer.
In order to pass a vector of pointers, the user can currently define a primitive type MyClassPtr and use the stereotype <<Typedef>>.
I will ask the opinion of my colleagues before deciding whether to change the current code generator.
Comment 2 Graham Lund CLA 2023-02-20 04:38:34 EST 
Using a 'fake' type is my current workaround, but this seems to mess up the detection of whether to forward declare or include the class in the header.
