ORB interface destroy() operation issue

  • Key: CPP13-72
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4567
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    The ORB interface destroy() operation defined in the core CORBA 2.3 spec seems to be missing from the associated C++ language mapping.

  • Reported: CPP 1.1 — Fri, 14 Sep 2001 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP 1.3
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add the destroy operation to the ORB definition in 4.35.1 and 4.45.21

  • Updated: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 20:58 GMT

_ptr_type and _var_type typedefs

  • Key: CPP13-71
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1794
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: We recently added _ptr_type and _var_type typedefs into interface classes
    to make writing templates for interface types easier. We should add the
    same typedefs for valuetype classes.

  • Reported: CPP 1.0b1 — Tue, 11 Aug 1998 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP 1.3
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add the missing typedefs

  • Updated: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 20:58 GMT

make it possible to write more generic C++ code

  • Key: CPP13-76
  • Legacy Issue Number: 14169
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    The spec defines: // C++ class Seq_var; class Seq

    { public: typedef Seq_var _var_type; // ... }

    ; We propose to extend this to the following to make it possible to write more generic C++ code. // C++ class Seq_var; class Seq_out; class Seq

    { public: typedef Seq_var _var_type; typedef Seq_out _out_type: typedef ::CORBA::ULong _size_type; // ... }

    ;

  • Reported: CPP 1.2 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP 1.3
  • Disposition Summary:

    In section 4.11 add to the example at the end Seq_out and a _out_type typedef
    as in the revised text below.
    The _size_type typedef will make it possible in the user code to differentiate
    between the index of a sequence type and a user defined ULong value. To
    section 4.15 add the sentence
    To facilitate template-based programming, a nested public typedef _size_type is delivered as the type
    representing the length of the sequence.
    And to the sequence class examples in section 4.15 the following
    typedef ULong _size_type;

Servant_var + spec typo?

  • Key: CPP13-75
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12913
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: lmco.com ( Abdullah Sowayan)
  • Summary:

    I was looking at the OMG IDL to C++ mapping specification, specifically
    page 123 and came across the below. It looks to me that their
    implementation in the spec is NOT correct. Shouldn't the swap function
    take the "tmp" Servant_var?

    Servant_var& operator=(Servant* p)
    {
    if (_ptr != p)

    { Servant_var<Servant> tmp = p; swap(_ptr, p); }

    return *this;
    }

    Servant_var&
    operator=(const Servant_var& b)
    {
    if (_ptr != b._ptr)

    { Servant_var<Servant> tmp = b; swap(_ptr, b._ptr); }

    return *this;
    }

valuetype classes should add _out_type typedef

  • Key: CPP13-79
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16356
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    To really support template meta programming the valuetype classes should deliver a typedef _out_type besides the _ptr_type and _var_type which are proposed to be added as part of issue 1794

  • Reported: CPP 1.2 — Thu, 7 Jul 2011 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CPP 1.3

    Add a _out_type typedef to the valuetype class

Interface should add _out_type typedef

  • Key: CPP13-78
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16355
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    To really support template meta programming the inteface should deliver a typedef _out_type besides the already defined _ptr_type and _var_type

Section 4.5.4: parameter to _narrow

  • Key: CPP13-74
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12856
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    In section 4.5.4 it says: Unlike _duplicate, the parameter to _narrow is a reference of an object of any interface type (Object_ptr). If the actual (runtime) type of the parameter object can be widened to the requested interface’s type, then _narrow will return a valid object reference; it should say (widened to narrowed) Unlike _duplicate, the parameter to _narrow is a reference of an object of any interface type (Object_ptr). If the actual (runtime) type of the parameter object can be narrowed to the requested interface’s type, then _narrow will return a valid object reference;

Context PIDL mapping bug

  • Key: CPP13-73
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4743
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd ( Michi Henning)
  • Summary:

    Section 1.31.3 says:

    • In the C mapping, set_one_value used strings, while
      others used NamedValues containg any. Even though implementations
      need only support strings as values, the signatures now uniformly
      allow alternatives.

    I would suggest to delete the entire bullet point. In particular, the notion
    of allowing alternative data types as propery values for contexts doesn't
    work because the receiver expects a sequence of strings with an even number
    of elements; if anything but a string sequence is sent, the receiver
    has no chance of unmarshaling it.

    Remove bullet as suggested

get_policy should return Policy, not Policy_ptr

  • Key: CPP13-80
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16358
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    The Object::get_policy returns a Policy in IDL, not a Policy_ptr, that is the C++ return value

  • Disposition Summary:

    Replace in 4.36.1 the text Policy_ptr to Policy
