Summary:
just came across Notification Service IDL where
you are mentioned as contact person:When I "grep" on all IDL files I notice that
orb.idl is not included.I notice further that file
CosNotifyFilter.idl
in line 105 makes use of TypeCode:
readonly attribute CORBA::TypeCode value_type;
However section 3.19 "CORBA Module" of current
CORBA standard 3.0.2 reads as:>> Names defined by the CORBA specification are in a module named CORBA. In an
{ >> typedef CORBA::Object myObjRef; // Error: keyword Object scoped >> typedef TypeCode myTypeCode; // Error: TypeCode undefined >> typedef CORBA::TypeCode TypeCode;// OK >> }
>> OMG IDL specification, however, OMG IDL keywords such as Object must not be
>> preceded by a "CORBA::" prefix. Other interface names such as TypeCode are not
>> OMG IDL keywords, so they must be referred to by their fully scoped names (e.g.,
>> CORBA::TypeCode) within an OMG IDL specification.
>> For example in:
>> #include <orb.idl>
>> module M;
>> The file orb.idl contains the IDL definitions for the CORBA module. Except for
>> CORBA::TypeCode, the file orb.idl must be included in IDL files that use names
>> defined in the CORBA module. IDL files that use CORBA::TypeCode may obtain its
>> definition by including either the file orb.idl or the file TypeCode.idl.In my humble opinion, "your" Notification IDL is
not correct.Perhaps you have some time left to comment on
