  • Method and apparatus for a corba typecode data manipulator
    Patent number: 6272554
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for decomposing arbitrarily complex CORBA data types into a flat data buffer and recomposing the data type back from the buffer. CORBA TypeCode data is converted to/from stream form. A memory management function releases the memory used for the reconstructed form of the TypeCode data. An encoder interface routine receives inputted CORBA data. A two pass procedure is executed which allocates buffers and passes ownership information for the inputted CORBA data which is converted into a contiguous representation.
