Issue 2581:  set_policy_overrides" operation defined twice (messaging-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Clarification
Severity:  Significant
Summary: Summary: The Messaging::PolicyManager interface 
 defines a "set_policy_overrides" operation,
 but this operation is also defined in 
 the CORBA::Object interface.
 
 IDL prohibits the redefinition of an
 operation in derived interfaces, this may not
 apply in this case because CORBA::Object is
 a pseudo-object.
 
 Still, in C++ this operation names result in
 ambiguities because both have the same
 parameters but different return values.
 
 

Resolution: close, no change

April 9, 1999: received issue
April 26, 2010: closed issue
Discussion: 
The names of Object pseudo operations are not in the name space of IDL 
operations, hence there is no clash. Even in the C++ mapping the Object pseudo operations 
are name-munged with a _ prefix to ensure that they do not clash with real IDL defined 
operation names

Issue 2581: set_policy_overrides" operation defined twice
(messaging-rtf)

Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant

Summary:  The Messaging::PolicyManager interface defines a
"set_policy_overrides" operation, but this operation is also defined
in
the CORBA::Object interface. IDL 
prohibits the redefinition of an operation in derived interfaces, this
may not apply in this case because CORBA::Object is a pseudo-object.
Still, in C++ this operation names 
result in ambiguities because both have the same parameters but
different return values.

Resolution: The names of Object pseudo operations are not in the name
space of IDL operations, hence there is no clash. Even in the C++
mapping the Object pseudo 
operations are name-munged with a _ prefix to ensure that they do not
clash with real IDL defined operation names
