Issue 7978: CORBA 3.0.3 ch. 3.4 OMG IDL Grammar (corba-rtf)
Source: Airbus Group (Mr. Oliver M. Kellogg, oliver.kellogg(at)airbus.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: 
Summary: The grammar definition for valuetype <state_member> via the rule
<declarators> includes <complex_declarator>.


It should be clarified whether valuetype state members are intended
to include <array_declarator>.


IMHO clarification is needed as state members are usually mapped
to accessor methods in programming languages. If permissible,
the accessor methods would return a complex type.
