//
// ORB:         Implementation of CORBA_Any
//
// This includes three constructors, a destructor, and a "replace"
// method for the "Any" data type.  "Any" values pair a pointer to a
// data structure in the native binary representation (e.g. C struct)
// with a TypeCode that describes that data structure.
//
// The copy constructor and the destructor each use the TypeCode
// interpreter with specialized "visit" callback routines.  The
// "visit" routines are used respectively to make "deep copies" and
// perform "deep frees" of the aritrary values as described by the
// "Any" value's typecode.
//
// Note that these "visit" routines are called directly, and they
// choose whether or not to use the TypeCode interpreter to examine
// constituents.  In the simple cases, the "visit" routines can do
// their work without any further calls; only for constructed types is
// the interpreter's knowledge really required.
//
// THREADING NOTE: "Any" is a data structure which must be protected
// by external critical sections.  Like simpler numeric types, "Any"
// instances are accessed and modified atomically.  This
// implementation is reentrant, so that independent "Any" values may
// be manipulated concurrently when the underlying programming
// environment is itself reentrant.
//
