Description Ossama Othman 2002-06-05 10:03:34 CDT

TAO's PICurrent implementation uses an array (actually ACE_Array_Base) of Anys 
to implement PICurrent's slot table.  This implementation makes it difficult 
to perform "logical" copying of the slot tables.  Switching to a sequence<any> 
based implementation will alleviate this problem, in addition to removing a 
bunch of brittle code.  This change would also allow us to fix some of the 
remaining RSC/TSC copying issues.

Mine.

Comment 2 Ossama Othman 2002-06-05 10:04:23 CDT

I'll handle this in a few weeks.

Comment 3 Ossama Othman 2003-11-05 09:22:54 CST

Bumped up the severity to "blocker" to make sure we fix this problem before TAO
1.4 goes out.

Comment 4 Ossama Othman 2004-03-16 03:04:16 CST

With the latest set of PICurrent changes, there is no longer a need to use a
sequence<any> as the underlying slot table implementation.
