RE: PropertyBag's listener setting methods

["Zach Frey" <zfrey lanich com>]

Good catch!

I had thought that type names and parameter names are in different
namespaces in CORBA IDL; so there would be no conflict between "Listener"
and "listener" in these method definitions.

But p. 3-45 of the CORBA 2.3.1 specification gives just this case as
an example naming clash.

(Hmph.  And here I thought I understood IDL naming and scoping ...)

It looks like ORBit compiles this, though.  Should that be filed as
an ORBit bug?

Hi,

I tought it was already said that identifiers in IDL files are
case-insensitive, thus, the following two method definitions are broken:

        void add_change_listener (in string name, in Listener listener);
        void remove_change_listener (in string name, in Listener listener);
