Issue 16262: get_type_name, class or object method (data-distribution-rtf)
Source: Remedy IT (Mr. Johnny Willemsen, jwillemsen(at)remedy.nl)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: It seems that DDS vendors are implementing get_type_name of the TypeSupport interfaces differently. Some do it as static class method in C++, some as a regular method. The spec uses regular IDL, which gives the idea that it is a regular method needed a concrete TypeSupport instance, but I doubt whether that is intended
