Issue 2285:  Value Box Mapping (cxx_revision)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: This may be a naive question, but it seems like the C++ mapping
 for value boxes is incomplete.  As far as I can tell, the specification
 defines the mapping for the following types:
 
   basic types, enum, objref, string, wstring, struct, union, sequence, array, fixed, any
 
 But what about the types that have not been mentioned?
 
   value, value box, TypeCode, Principal, native, except
 
 If these types aren"t allowed, does the specification say that somewhere?

Subject: Value box mapping

This may be a naive question, but it seems like the C++ mapping
for value boxes is incomplete.  As far as I can tell, the
specification
defines the mapping for the following types:

  basic types
  enum
  objref
  string
  wstring
  struct
  union
  sequence
  array
  fixed
  any

But what about the types that have not been mentioned?

  value
  value box
  TypeCode
  Principal
  native
  except

If these types aren't allowed, does the specification say that
somewhere?

Take care,

    Mark
