igned properly, and if foo is part of generated code, it will then
display as garbage or as an empty string (or substring). Two workarounds
have been found. One is to change the declaration of foo to be
<p>static const char *foo = ....
<p>and this has been done in all cases we could find in the IDL compiler
source code. Another way to avoid the problem is to change the Release
project Optimization setting to 'Minimize Size'. Reportedly the problem
has been fixed in MSVC version 7.0.
