[omniORB] long -> Any -> Any

[HA Quoc Viet]

hi,

If someone has been working with CORBA::Any I would appreciate some
input on
these points :

=================================================================================

long l = 2;
CORBA::Any any, value;

any <<= l ;         // works, though not with all orbs (ie mico fails)
value << any ;
l=1;
value >> l ;        // doesn't work. I'd bet value is not storing a long
but an Any 

... finally yelds l=1, and not l=2 as I expected.

==================================================================================

CORBA::Any src,dst;
memcpy( (void*)dst , (void*)src , siezof(CORBA::Any) );

make things very unstable

==================================================================================

CORBA::Any src,dst;
dst = src ;

doesn't work either

==================================================================================

The only acceptable (no crash) way I've found so far to copy an
CORBA::Any is to
do src >>= dst, though I've been losing my original type (cf first
code).

HOW DO YOU DUPLICATE ANYs ?????


Thanks for any help .... :o)
