IDL 4.3 RTF Avatar
  1. OMG Issue

IDL43 — IDL 4.2 i.e. the version published as ISO/IEC 19516 is full of broken references

  • Key: IDL43-88
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Leonardo S.p.A ( Simon McQueen)
  • Summary:

    The IDL 4.2 page has a download link for the spec as published as an ISO: https://www.omg.org/spec/IDL/ISO/19516/PDF

    All (?? - verification left as an exercise but there's 926 instances) the internal document links look to be screwy.

    Search for e.g. "Reference source not found"

    An example (from page 102):

    Annex A
    Consolidated IDL Grammar
    This annex gathers all the rules from all the building blocks.
    Error! Reference source not found.:
    Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found.
    Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found.
    Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found.
    ... etc...
