Bug Report no. 48

Version

omniORB 2.7.0

Description

The on-the-wire representation of the TypeCode for an array type is erroneous. The marshalling and unmarshalling operations are consistently wrong - so omniORB 2.7.0 applications interoperate without problem. However there will be problems when passing array TypeCodes to/from other versions or vendors (including passing array values in Anys).

The fault is that the array length is marshalled before the element's TypeCode, rather than after as it should be.

See also report 42.
