CPP12 — Problem with OBV_ valuetype class constructor

  • Key: CPP12-25
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3298
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Floorboard Software ( Jonathan Biggar)
  • Summary:

    The CORBA 2.3.1 specification does not cover the case of code generation
    for the OBV_ class constructor for a valuetype that inherits from
    another concrete valuetype:

    // IDL
    valuetype A

    { octet o1; }

    ;

    valuetype B : A

    { octet o2; }

    ;

    The generated OBV constructor for class B needs to take both o1 and o2
    arguments, so it should look like this:

    // C++
    class OBV_B

    { ... protected: ... OBV_B(Octet init_o1, Octet init_o2) }

    ;

    Proposal:

    Change the second paragraph of 1.17.2 to read:

    "For the same reasons, a C++ OBV_ class defines a protected default
    constructor, a protected constructor that takes an initializer for each
    valuetype data member, and a protected default constructor. The
    parameters of the constructor that takes an initializer for each member
    appear in the same order as the data members appear, top to bottom, in
    the IDL valuetype definition, regardless of whether they are public or
    private. If the valuetype inherits from a concrete valuetype, then
    parameters for the data members of the inherited valuetype appear
    first. All parameters for the member initializer constructor follow the
    C++ mapping parameter passing rules for in arguments of their respective
    types."
