DDSXTY14 — Representing union case labels in TypeObject

  • Key: DDSXTY14-36
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    TypeObject assumes that all union case labels are representable in a 32-bit integer:

    // Case labels that apply to a member of a union type
    // Ordered by their values
    typedef sequence<long> UnionCaseLabelSeq;
    

    Both IDL 4.2 and the general type system in XTypes (Figure 18, 7.2.2.4.4.3) allow 64-bit integer types as discriminators and therefore 64-bit values as case labels.
