Issue 219: Array slice example (cxx_revision) Source: (, ) Nature: Uncategorized Severity: MEDIUM Summary: Summary: Sec 16.12 Pg 16-27 CORBA 2.0 Why is a Long Array_slice declared to be a typedef Long[]? Why are these locked down rather than allowing a slice to be a class? Resolution: resolved/closed Revised Text: Close with explanation that, for arrays to be passed to functions, an array slice must be the element type of the array because when an array is passed as a function argument, it degenerates to a pointer to the array's row type. This means that, for an array type T with elements of type E, the slice type must be E.
