CPP13 — Context PIDL mapping bug

  • Key: CPP13-73
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4743
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd ( Michi Henning)
  • Summary:

    Section 1.31.3 says:

    • In the C mapping, set_one_value used strings, while
      others used NamedValues containg any. Even though implementations
      need only support strings as values, the signatures now uniformly
      allow alternatives.

    I would suggest to delete the entire bullet point. In particular, the notion
    of allowing alternative data types as propery values for contexts doesn't
    work because the receiver expects a sequence of strings with an even number
    of elements; if anything but a string sequence is sent, the receiver
    has no chance of unmarshaling it.
