Jonathan,

Note that when you compile with the -Wba switch under omniORB 3.x that it creates another file with a DynSK.cc (or DynSK.cpp on the
Windows platform) suffix.  That's where you should see the marshalling and unmarshalling(*) operators defined.

HTH,

Bruce

(*) IMHO, it's better to use the terms marshalling and unmarshalling for the >>= and <<= operators to any rather than extraction and
insertion to avoid confusion with the iostream operators.

I'm at my wits' end and hopefully someone can point out what I'm missing...

I want to use the "any" type and I want to extract members from it.
I've read the documentation and it states that using a -Wba flag with
omniidl will generate the code for the extraction/insertion operators.  I
see in the resulting .hh file the function signatures for
  void <<=    (two of these, and)
  CORBA::Boolean >>=     (also two of these)
and in the SK.cc file I do indeed see the definitions for the two insertion
("void <<=") operators.  I cannot, however, find the definition for the two
extraction operators anywhere, and this is driving me crazy.  Trying to
compile in MS Visual C++ 6 I'm getting the error message:
--
error C2678: binary '>>=' : no operator defined which takes a left-hand
operand of type 'const class CORBA::Any' (or there is no acceptable
conversion)
--
which I assume is because the compiler can't find the definition for the
extraction operator, either.

Any help or obvious oversights on my part?

Thanks.
