[omniORB] copying strings

[Attila.Pletyak@anemo.com]

The difference between the two lines is that the string_dup in the seco=
nd
one dinamically allocates store and gives a char* to the kind member. N=
ow,
in the first line the String_member copies the given char string into
itself, in the second line it simply takes the char* pointer and uses i=
t.
It should work. However when you make length(2) a copying of buffers an=
d
releasing old buffers starts and maybe that is causing a segmentation
fault.

Can't you solve somehow to give const char * as a right value to the ki=
nd
member?

Hello everybody,

Please, can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong in thye following
fragment
of code?

The problem is with copyinn nameBuf over (*name)[0].kind. If instead of=

copying nameBuf, I copy a (const char *), as in the previous line,
everything works fine.


#include <omniORB3/CORBA.h>

void main(int argc, char** argv) {

           CosNaming::Name* name;
           char nameBuf[15]=3D"Hola";

           name =3D new CosNaming::Name(0);

           name->length(1);
           (*name)[0].id =3D (const char*)"id0";
           (*name)[0].kind =3D CORBA::string_dup(&(nameBuf[0]));

           name->length(2);                    // it crashes here !!!

           etc...
}


Many thanks in advance

Joan Ramon Lopez Gillue
