Issue 1777:  DSI C++ issue (cxx_revision)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: Section 20.36.1, page 20-118 of orbos/98-07-12 says:
 
 "Similarly, data allocated by the DIR and handed to the ORB (the NVList
 parameters, the result value, and exception values) are freed by the ORB
 rather
 than by the DIR."
 
 However, the signatures for the set_result() and set_exception() functions of
 ServerRequest take arguments of type const Any&. How can the ORB adopt the
 result and exception data from a const Any? Unless I am missing something,
 either these signatures have to be changed to Any&, or the quoted sentence has
 to change to remove the text "the result value, and exception values".
 
 

Resolution: Change the text as suggested.
Revised Text: Change the last sentence of 20.38.1, page 20-152 of ptc/98-09-03, to: 

     Similarly, data allocated by the DIR and handed to the ORB (the NVList parameters) are freed by the ORB
     rather than by the DIR.
