[omniORB] vety basinc BOA question

[Ivan Ivanov]

Hello everyone,

Very often one could see a code snippet containing the line:
my_implementation->_obj_is_ready (CORBA::BOA::getBOA ());

The getBOA() function returns a new reference (with duplicating BOA_ptr)

which is never released as far as I can understand it.



Wouldn't be this more appropriate:

  CORBA::BOA_var boa = CORBA::BOA::getBOA ();
  my_implementation ->_obj_is_ready (boa);

as the _var automatically will release the reference to the
CORBA::BOA object?

Is there a memory leak in the first case?
Thanks,
Ivan
