[omniORB] To delete or not to delete....

[David Riddoch]

As far as I know what you've done is correct. If you look in the stub
code, you should see something like this ...

CORBA::Boolean _sk_server::dispatch(...)
{
  if (strcmp(_0RL_op,"query") =3D=3D 0) {
    ...
    long_seq_var _0RL_result;
    _0RL_result =3D query();
    ...
  }
  ...
}

So the sequence should be deleted by the destructor of long_seq_var.

Let us know if you find a leak in the ORB!

Cheers, David
