Re: Corba_string object

[some one <solrak29 yahoo com>]

Thanks for your reply.

So for a CORBA_string object I should use first the
allocate function and then the dup function?

struct employee myemp;
myemp.name = CORBA_string_alloc(7);
myemp.name = CORBA_string_dup("someone");

Is CORBA_string nothing more than a typedef for
CORBA_char*?
