Description
A developer using IDL configuration parameters wrote a IDL file with a bug in it, which resulted in a C++ compiler error that did not clearly direct them toward the source of their problem.
The compiler had tried to declare an extern variable with a name like "globalvariable.subvariable". The IDL file declared a cpp_vartype of "long long", but also declared a cpp_varname of "globalvariable.subvariable". Removing the cpp_vartype resolved the issue.
