MOF14 — Disallow null instance values

  • Key: MOF14-17
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4419
  • Status: open  
  • Source: DSTC ( Stephen Crawley)
  • Summary:

    It can be argued that there is no need to allow null as a valid value
    for a Class instance. The possibility of null means that mapped APIs
    need to be more complicated; e.g. the IDL "unset_*" operations. This
    issue proposes that 'null' should be disallowed, making Class instances
    consistent with DataType instances. The IDL mapping could also be
    simplified.
