[omniORB] nil object destruction

[S. Sahayaraj]

One more work around,
	Instead of to not call orb->destroy(), Can we skip to destruct each
nil object in the container?. 

	Because, Anyway underlying OS takes care of destructing all unused
resources while exit. but we should place the code to destroy the container
of nil objects.

	I meant to say the following code has to be deleted from
omniInternal.cc.  But I'm not sure whether its proper fix or right way.

	 Duncan, Please give your advise.

/*
  omnivector<CORBA::Object_ptr>::iterator i = nilObjectList()->begin();
  for (; i != nilObjectList()->end(); i++, nils++)
		delete *i;
*/

  delete nilObjectList();  // It must be placed here.

  Renzo, could you try with these changes and let me know.



Thanks
Sahay.

That is indeed a problem. I can't think of any easy way around it,
other than to not call orb->destroy(). If you don't destroy the ORB,
things like the nils are not cleaned up. It isn't possible to
reference count the nils since the C++ mapping says you don't need
to. I'm open to any other suggestions...

Cheers,

Duncan.
