Issue 4010: Should valuetype helper insert/extract make copies? (java-rtf)
Source:  (Mr. Simon C. Nash, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: 
The adopted resolution for issue 2531 has clarified that the Any.insert_Value
and Any.extract_Value methods don't make copies of the Serializable parameter
passed to insert_Value.  Should the same be true for the valuetype helper's
insert and extract methods?  The IDL to Java mapping spec does not say
anything about the copying semantics of helper insert and extract methods.
Resolution: Incorporate change and close issue
Revised Text: Add the following sentence at the end of the first paragraph of section 1.5.2: 

"The Any insert and extract operations for Valuetype helper classes do not copy their arguments: they implement reference semantics just like Any.insert_Value and Any.extract_Value."

Issue 4010: Should valuetype helper insert/extract make copies?  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Summary: 
    The adopted resolution for issue 2531 has clarified that the
    Any.insert_Value
    and Any.extract_Value methods don't make copies of the
    Serializable parameter
    passed to insert_Value.  Should the same be true for the valuetype
    helper's
    insert and extract methods?  The IDL to Java mapping spec does not
    say
    anything about the copying semantics of helper insert and extract
    methods.


Proposed Resolution: Add the following sentence at the end of the
first paragraph of section 1.5.2:


"The Any insert and extract operations for Valuetype helper classes 
 do not copy their arguments: they implement reference semantics
 just like Any.insert_Value and Any.extract_Value."
