This problem has been fixed - the test is to ensure that +the problem does not recur as a result of future changes to the TAO TypeCode +class. + + Four valuetypes are declared in an IDL file, named in such a way +that their repository IDs (including the terminal null byte) have lengths +of 25, 27, 29, and 31. The test method is called 4 times. In each call, +one of these valuetypes is inserted into an Any and returned to the client, +who extracts it from the Any and checks the state member for the +correct value. + + To run the test use the run_test.pl script: + +$ ./run_test.pl + +The script returns 0 if the test was successful. + +The command line option -d turns on debugging information for any +errors that may occur. The script will automatically shut down the +server by means of a client call. If the test is run by hand, this +will not happen automatically - the command line option -x must be +passed to the client. + +*/ |
