  • Summary:

    Currently the std::array doesn't have an efficient move constructor, passing an array by value to the constructor of a valuetype/struct isn't efficient. Instead of adding an exception to the spec we propose to relax the spec so that it just mentions that the constructor must be there, but not that arguments have to be passed by value, that is up to the implementor to decide

Early detection of bound violation on bounded types

  • Key: CPP1111-14
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18453
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Airbus Group ( Mr. Oliver M. Kellogg)
  • Summary:

    Addressee: IDL to C++11 1.1 RTF <idl2cpp11-rtf@omg.org>
    Nature: Enhancement
    Summary: Early detection of bound violation on bounded types

    In the IDL to C++11 Mapping v1.0 (formal/13-02-04), the sections
    6.9, 6.10, and 6.11 describe the mapping for string, wstring, and
    sequence types, respectively. These sections also address the bounded
    variant of those types:

    " Implementations must (at run time) detect attempts to pass a
    [string|wstring|sequence] value that exceeds the bound as a parameter
    across an interface. It must raise a BAD_PARAM system exception to
    signal the error. "

    In practice, the point at which such a value is passed into an interface
    method may be far away from the assignment causing a bound violation,
    which makes the error source hard to find.

    I propose doing a bound check not only at interface methods but also
    at the setter functions for struct, union, and valuetype members.

    The section quoted above could thus be extended as follows:

    " Implementations must (at run time) detect attempts to pass a
    [string|wstring|sequence] value that exceeds the bound as a parameter
    across an interface, or passed to a setter method of a struct, union,
    or valuetype. It must raise a BAD_PARAM system exception to
    signal the error. "

    Furthermore, the mapping standard does not define the bound check
    behavior for arrays and sequences of bounded types.
    IMHO the mapping standard should make explicit that the bound check
    shall be performed on each bounded-type element of an array or sequence.

    Example:

    // IDL
    typedef string<12> string12_t;
    typedef string12_t string_arr_t[2][3];
    typedef sequence<string12_t, 4> string_seq_t;
    struct struct_t

    { string_arr_t sarr; string_seq_t sseq; }

    The sarr() and sseq() setter methods generated for struct_t should
    iterate over their input parameter and perform the bound check on
    each element. Similar checks should happen in the explicit constructor
    which accepts values for each struct member.

  • Reported: CPP11 1.0 — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP11 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Adding the bounds check to the place where the bounded type is used leads to
    inconsistent behavior for users. After discussion we decided to map bounded types
    (string/wstring/sequence) to a distinct type and that this type could do a bounds check.
    The exact type doesn’t need to be standardized because bound types can only be used
    through a typedef in IDL and never are used directly by the programmer. Because the
    standard containers don’t have the concept of bounds enforcing a bound will be very
    hard to accomplish on all places.

std::ostream insertion underspecified

  • Key: CPP1111-13
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18433
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: gmail.com ( daniel.kruegler@gmail.com)
  • Summary:

    The wording in 6.29 says

    "For each IDL type (T) of type: [..] an ostream inserter with the following signature will be provided:

    // C++
    std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream &, T);

    For all other types an ostream inserter with the following signature will be provided:

    // C++
    std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream &, const T&);"

    1) This wording is not clear in which namespace the operator<< overload shall be provided. It could be within the global namespace or within the namespace of type T.

    The prototype implementation that I have seen provides these operators in the global namespace which makes them behave irregular:

    The reason is that overloaded operators such as these IO inserters are found by argument-dependent name-lookup. The lookup will consider all declarations that are found at the point of usage and will look in the associated namespaces of the operands to find them. Consider the following example:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    #include <iterator>

    namespace n {
    struct A {};
    }
    std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, n::A)

    { return os; }


    int main() { std::vector<n::A> v; std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<n::A>(std::cout)); }


    This program will not compile, because the involved template cannot "see" the operator<< overload. TRhis is so, because it is provided in the global namespace, but the operands are in namespace std:: and namespace n, resp. Adding overloads to namespace std is not valid, therefore the only option is to add the operator<< overload to namespace n:


    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    #include <iterator>


    namespace n {
    struct A {};
    std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, n::A) { return os; }

    }

    int main()

    { std::vector<n::A> v; std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<n::A>(std::cout)); }

    This works and lets the ostream operator<< of A::n behave normally.

    This example was intended to demonstrate that the provided operator<< overloads should be provided in the same namespace as the declared mapped types from the IDL (that is within the IDL module). The wording in 6.29 should be clarified in that regard.

    2) The second part of above wording,

    "For all other types an ostream inserter with the following signature will be provided:

    // C++
    std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream &, const T&);"

    can be read to be applicable for the arithmetic IDL types (bool, short, wchar_t, char, double, uint32_t, ...) or typedefs thereof, but that surely cannot be intended, because that would result in a compiler ambiguity when user code would include such a mapping header and would attempt to print such an arithmetic type on any std::ostream, e.g.

    #include <iostream>
    #include "some_idl.h"

    int main()

    { std::cout << 12; // Error, ambiguity }

    The wording in 6.29 should make clear that no operator<< overloads shall be provided for the basic data types or for typedefs thereof.

  • Reported: CPP11 1.0 — Wed, 6 Feb 2013 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP11 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    We had a detailed looked at the argument dependent lookup and what would technically
    be feasible. We also had users that wanted to define their own ostream operators and
    our spec defined methods were conflicting with that approach. Given that this feature
    was mostly focused on debugging systems, we decided to remove this section
    completely from the specification

Add missing implicit widening to any

  • Key: CPP1111-5
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18388

    The description for Any lacks the support for implicit widening as it was available with the C++ mapping. Proposal is to add implicit widening to section 6.16.3. The following text is proposed to be added:

    Any object reference, valuetype reference, or abstract references has to extractable as its base reference type from an Any.

    Also in the last sentence of 6.13, any as bold should be Any with a capital A

Add support for _this on local objects

  • Key: CPP1111-4
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18387
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    With the new IDL2C+11 mapping we can't create object references with new, we have to use the CORBA::make_reference<> factory method. In a servant we can use _this to get a reference to itself, but that is not available for local objects. With the old C+ binding people could just use the C++ this to get a _ptr to a local object, but that is not possible with the C++11 binding in general.

    Proposal is to add to 6.24:

    In order to get an object reference referring to an already created local object the _this() method must be used.

    In the code part add as method

    class LocalIF

    { protected: IDL::traits<LocalIF>::ref_type _this (); }

    ;

Missing specification of assignment operators of valuetypes

  • Key: CPP1111-12
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18418
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: gmail.com ( daniel.kruegler@gmail.com)
  • Summary:

    Section 6.17.2 is titled "Constructors, Assignment Operators, and Destructors" but does not say anything about assignment operators albeit the title promises to do so.

    The following examples seems to indicate that both assignment operators are supposed to be deleted. This should be spelled out.

    It also seems as if the maiing for interfaces as of 6.6 is intended to create class types with deleted copy/move assignment operators. This should also be made more clear.

Meaning of (u)intN_t types unclear

  • Key: CPP1111-11
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18406
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: gmail.com ( daniel.kruegler@gmail.com)
  • Summary:

    Section 6.5 (Table 6.1) loosely describes that the OMG IDL integer types are mapped to "a basic C++11 type" denoted by

    int16_t int32_t int64_t uint16_t uint32_t uint64_t uint8_t

    It doesn't really say, what these typedefs are supposed to be. Furthermore 6.5 (Table 6.2) describes the names

    int16_t int32_t int64_t uint16_t uint32_t uint64_t uint8_t

    as "keywords from the C++11 specification (ISO/IEC 14882:011)".

    Surely there are no such keywords in C+11 (nor in C11 or C99) and never had been. What C+11 inherits from the C99 library specification are the typedefs

    std::int16_t std::int32_t std::int64_t std::uint16_t std::uint32_t
    std::uint64_t std::uint8_t

    from header <cstdint>, but those are not keywords and they are library components that belong to namespace std. I think that the specification of the basic integer type mapping (6.5) intends to refer to these typedefs from <cstdint>, but this should be made clear in 6.5.

    Also, section 6.30 should not declare them as C+11 keywords, even though these names need to be protected by a cxx prefix as described by 6.2. Presumably a better name is needed (e.g. "protected C+11 names" or some such)

Fixed type mapping should provide (explicit) operator bool

  • Key: CPP1111-10
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18405
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: gmail.com ( daniel.kruegler@gmail.com)
  • Summary:

    Given the specification of the class template Fixed provides

    operator int64_t () const;
    operator long double() const;

    and

    bool operator!() const;

    This allows to test some Fixed instantiation within a boolean context as in a useful way as follows:

    typedef IDL::Fixed<5,2> F;
    F f = ...;
    if (!f)

    { ... }


    But the similar inverse form


    if (f) { ... }

    will cause an ambiguity error between the two conversion functions to int64_t and long double. User code is required to write the obfuscated form

    if (!!f)

    { ... }

    to realize the same thing. This is unfortunate and there is a simple means to solve this problem: The specification should add

    explicit operator bool() const;

    to the class template synopsis with the same semantics as negating operator!

Invalid struct initialization example

  • Key: CPP1111-9
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18404
  • Status: closed

  • Summary:

    The example in the middle of the page starts with:

    but the struct mapping (6.13.1 p.23) clearly says that "an explicit constructor accepting values for struct each member" shall be provided. Above initialization context is a copy-initialization context and would require a non-explicit constructor. The example should be fixed to use a direct-initialization context instead, either:


    // C++
    S s{10}

    ;

    or

    // C++
    S s = S

    {10}

CORBA::Exception should not use std::string type for name and repo_id

  • Key: CPP1111-15
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18463
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    CORBA::Exception should not use std::string type for name and repo_id for 2 reasons:

    1. C++ standard conformance; member types like std::string are discouraged because their constructors may throw exceptions where std::exception and derivatives are expected not to throw exceptions themselves
    2. (minor) performance; using std::string these member values are unnecessarily copied while they immutable constant strings only ever read, never mutated

    Changing the members to const char* values makes CORBA::Exception and the CORBA::SystemException classes optimal and c++ standard conformant.

    This will not be the case for CORBA::UserException derivatives as these may have IDL defined attributes having IDL defined types which may definitely throw exceptions. However the ORB should be expected to handle situations where creating user exceptions unexpectedly throws another exception.

  • Summary:

    Given interface T the specification defines IDL::traits<T>::narrow as a way to narrow to T. As convenience it also defined T::_narrow. The issue is that T::_narrow is implicitly linked to IDL::traits<T>::narrow and can cause confusion and possible misuse when other traits are added for more specific traits. We propose to remove T::_narrow from the specification completely, users must just use IDL::traits<T>::narrow

Extend IDL type traits for template meta programming

  • Key: CPP1111-7
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18390
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    The specification defines IDL::traits<> as type trait, but uses it only for reference types.

    We propose to extend IDL::traits<> as generic type trait for IDL2C++11. This type trait delivers traits with information coming from IDL.

    For example object reference traits it can also deliver local and abstract as traits, which are booleans that indicate whether the IDL type was local or abstract.

    For sequence we can add traits indicating the type of the element and in case of bounded sequences the bound.

    The proposal is to add a new paragraph which describes the IDL type traits that are all available as part of IDL::traits<> for a specific IDL type.

  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP11 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Extending the IDL::traits<> with more types for template meta programming will be useful
    for the users that would like to program C++11 templates using the IDL defined types.
    Therefor a new set of type traits will be added to the specification.

Use () instead of (void)

  • Key: CPP1111-17
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18500
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    The specification uses in some examples like in 6.13.1 the construct "(void)" for a method with no arguments. This is old style, it should use "()"

Minor typos

  • Key: CPP1111-16
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18498
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    2.1 refers to ISO/IEC 14822:2011 (which should be 14882:2011)

    6.30 instead refers to ISO/IEC 14882:011 (again should be 14882:2011)

    the table in 6.30 contains typos (alinas, alineof, constrexpr), names
    that aren't keywords (int32_t, ...) and misses some keywords
    (noexcept, char16_t, char32_t).

Introduce trait for local interface base type

  • Key: CPP1111-18
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18523
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    The specification uses IDL::traits<T> for everything related to interface T, but for a local interface we just use T as base class. Proposal is to use IDL::traits<T>::base_type as base type trait for the local object implementation. This makes everything related to interfaces available through IDL::traits<T>

    In section 6.25.6, in the line:

    This guarantees that the POA skeleton class inherits only one version of each operation, and also allows optional
    inheritance of implementations. In this example, the implementation of interface B reuses the implementation of interface
    A:

    The font of A should also be IDL type just as B
