Issues Descriptions

Add CDR marshaling support for new IDL4 types (e.g. maps, bitset, bitmask)

  • Key: CORBA35-446
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    IDL4 extends the IDL type system with int8/uint8/map/bitset/bitfield/bitmask, these all could be useful at the CORBA layer so to have guaranteed interoperability CORBA should define the CDR marshaling support for these new types

Extract IDL details from CORBA spec

  • Key: CORBA34-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    IDL is now in its own OMG spec. Remove content from the CORBA spec that repeats what's in the IDL spec. Add a Normative Reference to the IDL spec.

    It may be preferable to keep a "skeleton" of the Part 1 - Chapter 7 outline in the revised document so that existing cross-references (those in the document and especially those not in the document) still resolve. The skeletal sections (such as "7.2.5 Literals") can contain references to the corresponding section in IDL4.
  • Reported: CORBA 3.3 — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:23 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CORBA 3.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Refer to IDL 4.2

    Instead of containing a verbatim copy of key specification details, refer to the standalone IDL 4.2 spec document (formal/2018-01-05).

Valuetypes should be added to the list of scopes

  • Key: CORBA34-1
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Self ( Jonathan Biggar)
  • Summary:

    In this section, there are two places where the list of IDL constructs that have scopes is given:

    "interface, struct, union, or exception"

    valuetype should be added to this list to be consistent with the rest of the specification.
  • Reported: CORBA 3.3 — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 23:48 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; Out Of Scope — CORBA 3.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Should be revised in the IDL specification

    With the upcoming version of the CORBA specification, all IDL details will be removed and replaced with references to the IDL specification.
    I will create a linked issue for the IDL revision task force to consider.
