Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 5 18:24:49 2019 +0100

    tests: regenerate code, reverts change to CreateVectorOfStrings().

commit 117e3b0679
Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 5 18:15:05 2019 +0100

    idl_gen_cpp.cpp: move clang-format on/off outside of declaration, so they are kept properly aligned automatically.

commit 4791923806
Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 5 18:11:40 2019 +0100

    idl_gen_cpp.cpp: full clang-format run with provided Google format file, enforce 80 lines width.

commit 2f0402f9ff
Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 5 18:09:32 2019 +0100

    CppUsage: address requested changes.
    idl_gen_cpp.cpp: fix formatting, keep CreateVectorOfStrings for normal string cases.

commit 371d4e0b79
Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Fri Mar 1 16:35:29 2019 +0100

    Fix compile error with a vector of non-std::strings. CreateVectorOfStrings() expects a vector of std::string types, but that's not always the case.

commit 92b90d7f0f
Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Fri Mar 1 16:15:36 2019 +0100

    Document requirement for custom string types to implement empty() and be constructible from std::string.
    Add new option --cpp-str-flex-ctor to construct custom string types not via std::string, but (char * + length).

commit 28cb2e92d5
Author: Luca Longinotti <luca.longinotti@inivation.com>
Date:   Fri Mar 1 14:31:17 2019 +0100

    idl_gen_cpp.cpp: clang-format run, to better separate changes in content from formatting.
