Issue 4610: ValueRefCountBase::_add_ref (cxx_revision)
Source: Triodia Technologies Pty Ltd (Mr. Michi Henning, michi(at)triodia.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: PortableServer::ValueRefCountBase derives from both CORBA::ValueBase and
PortableServer::ServantBase. This create a problem because ValueBase
contains

	virtual ValueBase * _add_ref() = 0;

but ServantBase contains

	virtual void _add_ref();

The easy fix would appear to be to change the ValueBase version to return void.

Anyone see a problem with this? (I don't understand why the ValueBase version
currently returns a ValueBase * anyway. Any subtle reason for this that I
am not aware of?)
Resolution: Change _add_ref() on ValueBase to return void.
Revised Text: In 1.17.5 (p 1-71) replace 
virtual ValueBase* _add_ref() = 0; 
by 
virtual void _add_ref() = 0;

Here it is once more (with subject heading ;-)


Hi,

PortableServer::ValueRefCountBase derives from both CORBA::ValueBase
and
PortableServer::ServantBase. This create a problem because ValueBase
contains

	virtual ValueBase * _add_ref() = 0;

but ServantBase contains

    virtual void _add_ref();

The easy fix would appear to be to change the ValueBase version to
return void.

Anyone see a problem with this? (I don't understand why the ValueBase
version
currently returns a ValueBase * anyway. Any subtle reason for this
that I
am not aware of?)

					Cheers,

												Michi.
