JAV2I12 — Mapping of Java byte constants to IDL

Open Closed All
  • Key: JAV2I12-26
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4058
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: hursley.ibm.com ( Simon Nash)
  • Summary:

    Since Java byte values are mapped bit-for-bit to IDL (see section 1.3.3),
    the same should apply to byte constants. For example, -1 should map to 255.
    However, section 1.3.4.5 says that these constants are mapped to the
    same values.

    Proposed resolution:

    In section 1.3.4.5, change "are mapped to the same values" to "are mapped
    to the same values, except for byte constants which are mapped bit-for-bit.
    For example, -1 maps to 255."
