[omniORB] sequence problem

[Goran Karlsson]

Hi,

I am using omniORB_2.5.0 on Linux 2.0.27 and Win95 (VC++ 5.0) platforms,
and the echo examples work fine on both.

The Problem:

I tried the following IDL file:

struct Details {
  string Name;
  long Number;
};

typedef sequence<Details> DetailsList;

interface Echo {
  DetailsList echoseq();
};

and for instance the following code in my application:

DetailsList * list = new DetailsList(2);

(*list)[0].Name = "foo";
(*list)[0].Number = 33;
and so on ....

It compiles and links fine on both platforms (Linux and Win95).
When running the code the Linux code stops with the following message:
IOT trap/Abort

The Win95 stops with the message:
Unhandled exception in ex2.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++
Exception.

Both platforms stop at the first occurence of (*list)[0].Name = "foo";

The overloaded [] operator seems to be the trouble. As I am new to omniORB
and CORBA I would appreciate any help to solve the problem.

Thanks,
