Version

omniORB 2.7.1 and 2.7.0

Description

There is a bug in the code for marshalling an Any which contains an array or sequence of certain types of structure. An example of a such a data type is: 

  //IDL

  struct foo {
    short a;
    short b;
    long  c;
    short d;
  };

  typedef sequence<foo> this_type_causes_problem;
The result is likely to be an omniORB::fatalException, since the ORB detects that the size calculated for the type and the amount of data written differ.

Patch

Apply this patch.

The patch changes:

  • src/lib/omniORB2/dynamic/tcParser.cc
  • src/lib/omniORB2/dynamic/typecode.cc
