Issue 17413: Write with handle_nil underspecified (data-distribution-rtf)
Source: Remedy IT (Mr. Johnny Willemsen, jwillemsen(at)remedy.nl)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: For write the DDS spec says:


The special value HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter handle. This indicates that the identity of the instance
should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

The case which is not specified is the case where the handle is HANDLE_NUL, but they key we use hasn't been registered with dds yet, will DDS than return an error, or automatically register a new instance?
