Reported By

Bruce Visscher

Date

27 Jan 1999

Platforms

OpenVMS VAX

Version

omniORB 2.7.0 and earlier

Description

In a number of places in the omniORB2 and omniDynamic2 libraries String_var types are initialised using copy-initialisation. On compilers which do not optimise-away the resulting temporary, this leads to an uninitialised string being duplicated.

The only compiler on which this is known to be a problem is the DEC C++ compiler for OpenVMS VAX.
