Code to handle errors from transactions must - be added. Right now it is not possible to mix atomic transactions - with dirty 'transactions' (i.e. async_dirty) and still check the - results consistently. This must be fixed if we are to read with - async_dirty instead of transaction, since we still want to do all - the writes with transaction and not async_dirty. - (This point might be moot. Simple reads are now done with - mnesia:dirty_read/1 outside of transactions). - -* Unresolved issues. - There are some places in the source code marked with '***' where the - code should be verified. It mostly concerns minor unresolved - unclarities in the specification. - -** orber_ifr_contained.erl - In move/4 there is a call to orber_ifr_contained:lookup_name/5. The - third argument, Levels_to_search, is set to -1, which means search - all contained objects. This is probably correct. - -** orber_ifr_interfacedef.erl - The function describe_interface/1 describes the interface without - its inherited interfaces. It is not clear whether this is correct or - not. It is possible to get a description of the inherited interfaces - by mapping describe_interface/1 on the list if interfaces returned - by get_base_interfaces/1. Also, since the structs - InterfaceDescription and FullInterfaceDescription both have a field - named base_interfaces, it is possible to get a description of the - inherited attributes by examining that field and applying a describe - function. - -** orber_ifr_orb.erl - create_union_tc/4 sets the fifth element in the typecode tuple to - -1, meaning no default case. - -** orber_ifr_repository.erl - The PrimitiveDef with kind pk_objref has an empty Id and an empty - Name. This is perhaps not correct. - -** orber_ifr_typecode.erl - None of the functions in this module are fully implemented and they - should not be used. - -** orber_ifr_uniondef.erl -*** '_set_members'/2 - What should the value of the discriminator-typecode be when updating - the type attribute? (CORBA 2.0, p 6-20). For now we just leave it - unchanged, but this is perhaps not the right thing to do. - -* Exceptions should give more information about the failure. |
