DDSXTY14 — Should the TypeObject mark key members as must understand

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSXTY14-64
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The spec states that @key members are always "must understand" does this mean that when represented in a TypeObject the member should also have the "must understand" flag set or is it enough with it being marked with the "key" flag as this would already imply its must understand nature?

    Either way it should not impact assignability but it would impact the TypeId computation.
