DDSXTY14 — Can structures contain constant declarations?

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSXTY14-21
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.3.2.5.1 'Structures' states:

    Structures contain four kinds of declarations:
    • Applied annotations
    • Verbatim text
    • Members
    • Constants

    However section 7.3.1.10 'Structure Types' states:

    Structures as described in this specification are fully compatible with the IDL constructs of the same name.

    IDL (4.3) does not allow constant declarations inside structures. So these two statements are incompatible.

    Also the UML model in 7.2.2.4.4.2 'Structure Types' states structures contain only members. And constant declarations are not members.

    Therefore it seems like the text in Section 7.3.2.5.1 should be modified to remove the bullet about constants.
