Start by reproducing the npx @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli command with openapi-generator 5.0.1 and inspect the DefaultCodegen warning path for the cpp-restsdk generator. Determine which generator option triggers the warning and define done as a confirmed explanation or corrected handling, with a regression test covering the command or option.
