[omniORB] Allocation of memory for sequence "vars"

[Green, Wallace J]

I am in the process of converting from a previous ORB to the omni ORB on
a Linux system (PC).

I have a very simple sequence that I am allocating and would like to
check that the allocation was successful.

The IDL is :

    interface SEQ {
    
        enum ABC { want, more };
        typedef sequence<ABC> ABCseq;
    };

And the code (C++) I wish to convert is:
 
   SEQ::ABCseq_var me = new SEQ::ABCseq();
    if(me == NULL) printf("ERROR\n");

When I compile this, using OMNI, I get an error on the "me == NULL" test
to the effect that no such comparison is available.

So, under OMNI, what is the appropraite way to verify that the
allocation via the "new" was successful?


Thank you,
