[omniORB] Problems after upgrading IBM C++ compiler from xlc_R 10.0 to 11.1

[Jayanth Venkatraj]

Everything compiles fine, but during run time, it crashes without any coredumps, exceptions or no logs clues about what is happening. After inserting debug lines, I found that it was around this section of code
       if( MISC_TABLE_ID != tableID )
       {
            OrbSchemaStructure orbSchemaStruct;
            orbSchemaStruct.tableName = tableView;
            orbSchemaStruct.columnName = colName;
            orbSchemaStruct.dataType   = tsFact->convertDBDataTypeToEVDataType( toString( col.type() ) );
            orbSchemaStruct.primaryKeyComponent = pkComponent;
            schemaStructureDeque.push_back( orbSchemaStruct );
        }

It happens whenever we try to do a
      CORBA::string = RWCString
RWCString is a string object from the RogueWave libraries. The application stops crashing when it is changed to :
                        orbSchemaStruct.tableName = CORBA::string_dup(tableView);
            orbSchemaStruct.columnName = CORBA::string_dup(colName);

but it crashes again when we try to do schemaStructureDeque.push_back( orbSchemaStruct );
and the schemaStructureDeque happens to be an object of type DEQUE< OrbSchemaStructure >& schemaStructureDeque where DEQUE is a define for std::deque.
The OrbSchemaStructure is a struct defined in an idl as follows :
 struct OrbSchemaStructure
{
   string        tableName;
   string        columnName;
   unsigned long dataType;
   boolean       primaryKeyComponent;
};

I am using omniORB 4.0.4 btw, and this omniORB was compiled using a different compiler than what the code was compiled with, I am not sure if that makes any difference, but I came across this thread, which asks us to use (const char*) casting, but I see that my application crashes when I use that as well.

Has anyone else faced such problems because of changing the compiler version? Let me know if I am missing any info.
