Issue 16109: Technology Related Questions - CORBA/e Mutex Interface (corba-e-ftf)
Source: Remedy IT (Mr. Johnny Willemsen, jwillemsen(at)remedy.nl)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: I have a question and perhaps a bug to report in the CORBA/e v1.0 IDL files.   According to the specification “formal/2008-11-06”, the Compliance heading in chapter 12 says implementations of the CORBA/e Micro Profile must comply with 12.8­the Mutex interface.  Does this mean all of 12.8, including RTCORBA::Mutex and the portions of RTCORBA::RTORB that are shown in the chapter?   If so, there is an error in the preprocessor directives contained in accompanying IDL file: http://www.omg.org/spec/CORBAe/20080201/RTCORBA.idl.
 
If the IDL file is correct, then a CORBA/e Micro implementation should not implement any of RTORB, even create_mutex() and destroy_mutex().  See line 174 of the IDL.  I am assuming that the specification is correct and the IDL is in error, but some clarification would be appreciated.
