Issue 4341: Order of structure members (c_mapping-rtf) Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd (Mr. Michi Henning, michi(at)triodia.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: The C mapping says in section 1.9: OMG IDL structures map directly onto C structs. Note that all OMG IDL types that map to C structs may potentially include padding. This is not as clear as it should be. In particular, a requirement should be added to preserve the order of structure members as they appear in the IDL.
