CPP11 — Passing Fixed to operations

Open Closed All
  • Key: CPP11-81
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1785
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: // IDL
    typedef fixed<4,2> F;

    interface foo

    { void op(in F param); }

    ;

    What should happen if at run time, I do the following?

    F myf = "12345.678D";

    foo_var fv = ...;
    fv->op(myf); // ???

    I think the operation should raise BAD_PARAM, because silent truncation
    is too dangerous. Note that the operation cannot send a fixed<8,3> because
    the operation expects a fixed<4,2> and will get a marshalling error if
    what arrives over the wire does not match the IDL definition.
