Issue 5778: OpaqueValue needs to be documented in the C Language mapping (c_mapping-rtf)
Source: Hewlett-Packard (Dr. Jishnu Mukerji, jishnu(at)hp.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: OpaqueValue, a new native type introduced in Issue 2162 (void *
in DII Chapter) for add_arg, was never documented in any of the language
mappings. Language Mapping that claim that the DII interfaces map
according to regular rules need to provide mapping rules for OpaqueValue
and document it. The mapping would simply be OpaqueValue --> (void *) or
equivalent.

Juergen,


Please file this issue separately for the C, Python and Smalltalk
