CORBA:

 // IDL
 interface ConstantDef : Contained {

ConstantDef::describe()

Synopsis:

The operation describe() is inherited from Contained. It returns a structure of type Contained::Description:

 // IDL
 struct Description {
 	Identifier name;
 	any value;
 };

The name member of this structure contains the string "ConstantDescription". The TypeCode of the value member is:

 _tc_ConstantDescription

The value of the any is a structure of type:

 // IDL
 struct ConstantDescription {
 	Identifier name;
 	RepositoryId id;
 	RepositoryId defined_in;
 	TypeCode type;
 	any value;
 };
