Static method cannot be named "getInstance" about shroud

[ltaylor16]

Shroud automatically creates a getter and setter method for the C++ object which is shadowed by the derived type. The default names are 'get_instance' and 'set_instance'. The C++ name getInstance is changed to get_instance for Fortran by default (since Fortran is not case sensitive). The name conflicts and the compiler complains. The easiest work around is to suppress the creation of the getter and setter by setting their names to blank use a format block on the class:

- decl: class ResourceManager
  format:
     F_name_instance_get:
     F_name_instance_set:

You can also explicitly name them something else if you want to keep them. The other option is to change the name of the Fortran wrapper for getInstance to something else using a format block on the method:

- decl: static ResourceManager& getInstance()
  format:
    F_name_impl: non_conflicting_name

Thanks! Are there any side effects from disabling the getter/setters?

[ltaylor16]

Not really. A typical user should not need access to the raw C++ pointer.

[davidbeckingsale]

Perfect, I will give that try. I think I tried using F_name_impl before and something was still amiss, but maybe it did work.

In any case, it's nice to able to have the names match across C++/C/Fortran. Thanks again.

Suppressing the getter/setter creation worked, closing.
