CORBA style was: [omniORB] CORBA::string_alloc(len) problem

[Doug Anderson]

I believe you can also do the following and consume it:

CORBA::String_var SomeString = (char *)string_alloc(100);
SomeString[0] = 'f';
SomeString[1] = 'o';
SomeString[2] = 'o';
SomeString[3] = '\0';

If the cast were (const char *), it would deep copy the alloc.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.  I seem to remember seeing
this somewhere.
