Issue 804:  Typos in PIDL to C++ mappings (cxx_revision)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity:  Minor
Summary: Summary: I think that there is a pervasive Typo in Appendix A of chapter 18.
 A number of the PIDL classes include a member function _duplicate.
 It should be declared as a static member function
 with an argument; i.e. the pointer to be "duplicated".

I think that there is a pervasive Typo in Appendix A of chapter 18.
A number of the PIDL classes include a member function _duplicate.
This is typically declared as

  class XXX 
  {
    ...
    static XXX_ptr _duplicate();
    ...
  };

but I think it should be declared as a static member function
with an argument; i.e. the pointer to be "duplicated".

    static XXX_ptr _duplicate(XXX_ptr);

This typo appears a number of times.
