Summary: Incorrect connection closure on Windows (bug number 16)
Date: Mon Feb 5 12:12:14 GMT 2001
Reported by: Victor Joukov
Description: In extremely rare cases, a recv() could be interrupted on Windows, causing a connection closure, rather than the proper retry.

Summary: omniIDL/C++ backend interface inheritance errors (bug number 15)
Date: Sun Jan 28 15:30:10 GMT 2001
Reported by: Gnana
Description: The C++ backend failed to map the names of some interfaces to unambiguous C++ class names in some circumstances. Example IDL:
    interface I{};
    module M{
      interface I : ::I{};
      interface J : I{};
    };
    

Summary: Bug in omniidl C++ back-end with struct member within a union which in turn is within a namespace. Only causes compilation problem with MSVC++. (bug number 14)
Date: Wed Jan 24 13:28:27 GMT 2001
Reported by: Lars Immisch
Description: IDL like the following would cause invalid code be generated for MSVC++:
     namespace A {
       union B switch(long) {
         case 0:
              struct C {
                  string op;
              } ex;
         default:
              long digit;
       };
    };
    

Summary: Bug in omniidl C++ back-end with unusual inheritance (bug number 13)
Date: Mon Jan 15 15:49:43 GMT 2001
Reported by: Daniel von Tabouillot
Description: IDL like the following would cause an internal error in the omniidl C++ back-end:
    interface A;
    typedef A B;
    interface A {};
    interface C : B {};
    

Summary: CORBA::Object::_narrow() does not increment the reference count. (bug number 12)
Date: Mon Dec 11 09:51:35 GMT 2000
Reported by: Kevin Bailey

Summary: Invalid string in postinvoke() with long operation names (bug number 11)
Date: Tue Dec 5 11:57:03 GMT 2000
Reported by: Chris Newbold
Description: If the operation name is longer than 32 characters, postinvoke() would be called with an invalid operation name string.

Summary: Bug with multiply-recursive TypeCode (bug number 10)
Date: Mon Nov 27 18:48:52 GMT 2000
Reported by: Walter Stroebel
Description: A recursive type in which more than one member recursed to the same type could cause an infinite recursion, leading to a stack overflow.

Summary: New platform file for Tru64 5.0 (bug number 9)
Date: Thu Nov 23 11:22:57 GMT 2000
Reported by: dek_ml@konerding
Description: Also fixed a problem with omkdepend when compiled with native cc.

Summary: On Digital Unix/Tru64, gethostbyname_r() is not used properly (bug number 8)
Date: Thu Nov 23 11:22:57 GMT 2000
Reported by: Neeraj Bhatia
Description: This bug causes intermittent problems and causes a crash in gethostbyname_r.

Summary: Invalid object references handled incorrectly (bug number 7)
Date: Tue Nov 21 10:46:54 GMT 2000
Reported by: Nick Belshaw
Description: An IOR containing no recognised profiles (e.g. from ORBit with default settings) would be treated as nil by string_to_object, and a MARSHAL exception by the unmarshalling code. The correct exception is INV_OBJREF.

Summary: System exceptions not forwarded from incarnate() and preinvoke() (bug number 6)
Date: Mon Nov 13 11:47:35 GMT 2000
Reported by: Chris Newbold
Description: System exceptions thrown from a ServantLocator's preinvoke() method, or a ServantActivator's incarnate() method are silently converted into an OBJ_ADAPTER exception. They should be passed on to the client without change.

Summary: Examples fail to build with nmake on Windows 9x (bug number 5)
Date: Tue Nov 7 15:31:24 GMT 2000
Description: As explained in 3.0.1's bug 9, some Windows 98 machines (but not all) fail to cope with the pipe between the C pre-processor and omniidl. The work-around is to use the -T flag. The dir.mak files in the examples now use this flag.

Summary: omniidl system dependency clean-up (bug number 4)
Date: Tue Oct 24 10:44:08 BST 2000
Description: Not really a bug, but some long-standing ugliness in omniidl's system dependencies has been cleaned up. It's listed here because any code which uses omniidl's C++ interface may need to be slightly modified.

Summary: omniIDL/C++ backend tie template operation mapping error (bug number 3)
Date: Mon Oct 16 18:56:53 BST 2000
Reported by: Chris Newbold
Description: The tie template code used the _objref argument mapping rather than the _impl mapping.

Summary: Race condition in POA triggers assertion failure (bug number 2)
Date: Fri Oct 13 09:56:03 BST 2000
Reported by: Chris Newbold
Description: There is a race condition in the POA between deactivating an object and it being etherealised, which can trigger an assertion failure (which in turn throws an omniORB::fatalException()).

Summary: C++ back-end claims that it does not support long long (bug number 1)
Date: Fri Oct 6 09:58:55 BST 2000
Reported by: Chris Knight
Description: A new check added to the C++ back-end incorrectly reported that long long is not supported, even though it is. Note that long long is not currently supported in Any.
