[omniORB] A question about stringified IOR in case of IPv6

[Hung Ta Viet]

Hi friends,

As you know, stringified IOR is a string that contains string in hexa decimal 
e.g. 
IOR:010000001300000049444c3a746573742f48656c6c6f3a312e30000001000000000000006c000000010102000f

00000031302e3132382e3234302e31323200004407000013000000ff6d79504f41002ccbc74c01001710000000000002000000000000000800000001

00000000545441010000001c00000001000000010001000100000001000105090101000100000009010100

In my knowledge, the hostname, which is the location of corba servant, can be in 
IP address (e.g.172.169.2.3), is encoded in the above stringified IOR. When we 
use IPv6 address, the format is e.g. 2001:DB8:0:0:8:800:200C:417A and it must be 
put in '[' and ']' in the corbaloc: 
corbaloc:iiop:[2001:DB8:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]:2809/NameService.

My question are: 
1.. Are the square parentheses '[' and ']' also encoded and included in the 
stringified IOR? or what?
2. We have some classes in which we can get the hostname of an IOR:
class IIOP {
public:

  typedef GIOP::Version Version;

  struct Address {
    _CORBA_String_member    host;
    _CORBA_UShort           port;

    void operator>>=(cdrStream&) const;
    void operator<<=(cdrStream&);
  };

  struct ProfileBody {
    Version                 version;
    Address                 address;
    _CORBA_Unbounded_Sequence_Octet  object_key;
    IOP::MultipleComponentProfile    components;

    ProfileBody() : components(2) {}
  };

Does the host of struct Address contain square parentheses?

Your support is always welcome.

Best regards,
Hung
