[omniORB] exception when returning from main when using CORBA::Any

[Luke Deller]

Hi Andren,

This is the mailing list for omniORB, not for TAO.  The people on the TAO=
=20
mailing list might be able to help you better, since you seem to be using=
 TAO.

TAO has a mailing list called:
   tao-users@cs.wustl.edu
which is archived at:
   http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tao-users/

To address your question.. I can't spot a problem with your code.  The=20
debug assertion is probably being hit in the destructor of gOrb.  Since=20
gOrb is declared as a global variable, its destructor will not be called =

until after you return from main.

Regards,
Luke.
