+Der Aufruf des CodeGen kann z.B. so aussehen:
+
+codegen -s /tmp/ppm_serviceORG.xml -i /shd/CTC/TOOLS/TDS/TDS-build/service_idl_files.txt  -a dds_topics  -o /tmp /shd/CTC/TOOLS/TDS/TDS-source/Lts/Common/CodeGen/svc_record_replay_plugin.cpp.grantlee
+Edit Juni 2023, Niklas Schmidt
+
+Ebenso ist es nicht möglich einen Struct aus einem anderen Service(Service B) zu verwenden,
+der in sich widerum einen anderen Struct aus dem anderen Service (Service B) beinhaltet.
+
+Bsp:
+
+Service A = Struct1{ int id,
+                     Struct2 test
+                   }
+
+Service B = Struct2{

+
+Service B = Struct3{
+                   std::string test
+                   }
+
+Mögliche Diagnose:
+
+Wenn Struct3 aus Service A aufgerufen wird, ist wahrscheinlich nicht mehr gekennzeichnet dass der Struct3 aus Service B kommt. Dieser kann somit nicht
+aufgelöst werden

+Leider gibnt es Probleme, wenn man Sequenzen von Sequenzen von Non-PODs erstellt.
+Es erbgaben sich unresolved symbols... (Compiler war zufrieden, Linker aber nicht - hmm)
+
+Mit dem folgenden Konstrukt konnten ich diese "beheben", doch je nach Konstellation in der XYZ_service.xml
+ergaben sich Fehler a la "template specialication after instatiation"
+
+Daher haben wir (zumindest zunächst) Abstand von dieser Erweiterung genommen.
