Is this legal?

// IDL
union MyUnion switch(boolean)
{
case TRUE: short v1;
case FALSE: long v2;
default: double v3;
};

If the answer is 'no', where in the CORBA spec is this specified?
If the answer is 'yes', what does the _d() access function return if
the
union has been set with the v3() access function?

Regards,

Marc Laukien
