ModuleDef

Contents

ModuleDef::describe()
ModuleDef::describe_contents()

Synopsis:

Interface ModuleDef describes an IDL module. It inherits from both interfaces Container and Contained.

CORBA:

 // IDL
 interface ModuleDef : Container, Contained { 
 };

Notes:

See Also:

ModuleDef::describe()

Synopsis:

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

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

giving the name and value of the module. The value member is an any whose TypeCode is _tc_ModuleDescription and whose value is a pointer to a structure of type:

 // IDL
 struct ModuleDescription {
 	Identifier name;
 	RepositoryId id;
 	RepositoryId defined_in;
 };

 Contained::describe()

ModuleDef::describe_contents()

Synopsis:

The operation describe_contents() is inherited from Container. It is a combination of the functions Container::contents() and Contained::describe() and can be used to iterate through the items declared directly in the module.

It returns a sequence of Container::Description structures, where each returned structure has the following fields:

contained_object: the object reference, of type Contained, of one of the objects contained directly in the module or interface
name: the name of this top level contained object, for example, InterfaceDescription, ConstantDescription and so on
value: a description, of type any, of this contained object, with the following two members:

The TypeCode of the any will be the TypeCode corresponding to the type of this top level object.

The value of the any will be a pointer to a structure of the relevant type, for example, OperationDescription, ConstantDescription, and so on.
