1  CORBA Release Notes

1 CORBA Release Notes

  • The binary format was changed in OTP-26 so that binaries created with term_to_binary() was not compatible with those in OTP-25 (or older). Corba is now updated so term_to_binary() used for object keys are always using minor_version 1 (which is the version used since OTP R11).

  • Cleaned up the code and none of the changes affect the API. Replaced size() with the apropriate calls to byte_size() and tuple_size(). Replaced the usage of the slave module with peer, which means that CORBA 5.2 must be run on OTP-25 or newer.

  • Updated so it can be compiled and used with OTP-27. If one want's to build the documentation, that has to be done with OTP-26 because the doc is not updated to the new format.

  • In the README are the OTP requirements for building Corba updated and the build instructions for installing Corbas documentation into the OTP documentation tree.

    Own Id: OTP-17983 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-766

  • Fix error in the ic java backend that could cause faulty encodings.

    Own Id: OTP-17887 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-750

  • Fix dialyzer warnings in the files generated by the noc backend.

    Own Id: OTP-17309 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-426

  • Corrected the unique reference handling when using an IC generated erlang client against a c server.

    Own Id: OTP-17268 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-615

  • Corrected the encoding of the unique reference encoding in an IC generated java client.

    Own Id: OTP-17269

  • Remove old erl_interface dependency and clean up erlang code warnings. Note this version depends on erl_interface-4.0 (first satisfied in OTP 23.0)

    Own Id: OTP-16855 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-521

  • Fixed install for IC. Headers, libraries, and IDL files are now installed under $RELEASE_ROOT/usr regardless of type of install.

    Own Id: OTP-15197 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-202

  • Optimize encoding/decoding for pure 7-bit ascii atoms in IC.

    Own Id: OTP-15023 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-150

  • Fixed various build issues. Note that you need to build the corba repo against an OTP of at least version 21.0.3. See the README.md file for updated build instructions.

    Own Id: OTP-15177 Aux Id(s): OTP-14283, OTP-15176, ERIERL-198, ERIERL-202, ERL-640

  • Fixed potential buffer overflow bugs in IC oe_ei_encode_long/ulong/longlong/ulonglong functions on 64-bit architectures. These functions expect 32 bit integers as the IDL type long is defined as 32 bits. But there is nothing preventing user code from "breaking" the interface and pass larger values on 64-bit architectures where the C type long is 64 bits.

    Own Id: OTP-15179 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-208

  • First version of the standalone repository for the corba applications.

    All corba applications are from version 4.5 handled as one entity. and all the release notes are handled on the Corba level.
