OTS — get_completion_signal_set should never return nil

  • Key: OTS-7
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4253
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: International Business Machines ( Dr. Ian Robinson)
  • Summary:

    The following section is taken from the Activity srevice specification
    orbos/2000-06-19.

    P63: "string get_completion_signal_set(): Returns the SignalSet
    currently associated with the target Activity that will be used when it
    completes. This will be the last valid SignalSet given to
    set_completion_signal_set, or nil if one has not been provided."

    Returning nil for a string if there is no completion_signal_set is
    inconsistent with other methods in both the Activity and transactions
    services which typically return empty strings in similar situations. For
    example Current::get_activity_name().

    I propose the description for get_completion_signal_set() be changed to:
    Returns the SignalSet currently associated with the target Activity that
    will be used when it completes. This will be the last valid SignalSet given
    to set_completion_signal_set, or an empty string if one has not been
    provided.
