        Yes, there are two elements:
 
        _buffer, and _length that you need to maintain, eg.     

{
        CORBA_sequence_CORBA_long *b = CORBA_sequnce_CORBA_long__alloc ();

        b->_buffer = CORBA_sequence_CORBA_long__allocbuf (20);
        b->_length = 20;

        for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
                b->_buffer [i] = my_long * i;

        return b; 
}

        A plain array, no magic.
