The test should complete without exceptions or asserts. This test checks that simply calling GetSlot works at every Server side interception point. This used to trigger the following assert in the send_reply interception point if the slot had not actually been updated after the RSC->TSC logical copy that occurs after the "receive_request_service_contexts" (such as in the "receive_request" or the actual IDL interface implementation code) before the logical copy TSC->RSC that then occurs before the "send_reply" interception point. send_reply -> get_slot(TSC) -> long (62) SERVER send_reply -> get_slot(RSC) ACE_ASSERT: file ...\TAO\tao\PI\PICurrent_Impl.cpp, line 53 assertion failed for 'this->lc_slot_table_ != &this->slot_table_'.Aborting... This test also checks that the set_slot(RSC) does not effect the TSC that exists before the first logical copy (at the end of receive_request_service_contexts) and after the second logical copy that occurs after the IDL interface implimentation call (i.e. during send_reply). The run should look like this: Allocated slot with id 0.
