[omniORB] Corba::String_member

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

The CORBA C++ mapping is special and has a mix of manual/automatic
reference counting. Would recommend you to get the CORBA Programming
with C++ book and follow the mapping in detail, any mistake could lead
to a memory leak or crash, we always test with valgrind to try to detect
errors as early as possible.

The new IDL to C++11 language mapping maps a IDL string to std::string,
but that is not supported yet by omniORB, see
https://osportal.remedy.nl/projects/idl2cppx0 for more details about
this new mapping and available implementations.

Best regards,

Johnny Willemsen
