Issue 1520:  Spec does not mention the existance of an Any_out class (cxx_revision)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Enhancement
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: 2.  The spec does not explicitly mention the existence of an Any_out
 class.  I believe that this class is necessary, following the same
 pattern as the normal T_out class for variable length structured types.
 
 

Resolution: resolved and closed
Revised Text: Change 1.16.1 of formal/99-07-41 to read:

     1.16.11 The Any_var and Any_out Classes Since Anys are returned via pointer as out and return parameters (see
     Table 1-3 on page 1-104), there exists an Any_var class similar to the T_var classes for object references.
     Any_var obeys the rules for T_var classes described in Section 1.9, "Mapping for Structured Types," on page
     1-21, calling delete on its Any* when it goes out of scope or is otherwise destroyed. The full interface of the
     Any_var class is shown in Section 1.41.6, "Any_var Class," on page 1-154. An Any_out class is also available
     that is similar in form to the T_out class described in Section 1.9.2.

Issue 1520:  Spec does not mention the existance of an Any_out class

Proposal:

Change 1.16.11 to read:

1.16.11 The Any_var and Any_out Classes

Since Anys are returned via pointer as out and return parameters (see
Table 1-3 on page 1-104), there exists an Any_var class similar to the
T_var classes for object references. Any_var obeys the rules for T_var
classes described in Section 1.9, "Mapping for Structured Types," on
page 1-21, calling delete on its Any* when it goes out of scope or is
otherwise destroyed. The full interface of the Any_var class is shown
in
Section 1.41.6, "Any_var Class," on page 1-154.  An Any_out class is
also available that is similar in form to the T_out class described in
Section 1.9.2.
