[omniORB] basic question about sequences

[Michael]

Yes it is (you cant call the method foo, cause it will clash with the
interface name though)

The C++ signature would be

seq_type* Foo_impl::bar(const seq_type& seq_in, seq_type_out seq_out)
{
  std::auto_ptr<seq_type> ret(new seq_type);
  ret->length(seq_in.length());
  seq_out->length(seq_in.length());
  for (unsigned int i=0; i<seq_in.length(); ++i)
  {
    seq_out[i] = seq_in[i]*2;
    (*ret)[i] = seq_in[i]*3;
  }
  return ret.release();
}

(of course this works without auto_ptr, but it's a good habbit to
prevent memory leaks - you could also use _var and then release it, put
personally I prefer auto_ptr)
