Allocators Memory allocation functions for CORBA types. CORBA_sequence_set_release() can be used to set the state of the release flag. If the flag is set to %TRUE, the sequence effectively "owns" the storage pointed to by _buffer; if %FALSE, the programmer is responsible for the storage. If, for example, a sequence is returned from an operation with its release flag set to %FALSE, calling CORBA_free() on the returned sequence pointer will not deallocate the memory pointed to by _buffer. Also, passing a null pointer or a pointer to something other than a sequence type to either CORBA_sequence_set_release() or CORBA_sequence_get_release() produces undefined behavior. CORBA_sequence_set_release() should only be used by the creator of a sequence. If it is not called for a given sequence instance, then the default value of the release flag for that instance is %FALSE. @s: a CORBA sequence @r: the new value of the release flag Before calling CORBA_free() on the _buffer member of a sequence directly, the programmer should check the release flag using CORBA_sequence_get_release(). If it returns %FALSE, the programmer should not invoke CORBA_free() on the _buffer member; doing so produces undefined behavior. @s: a CORBA sequence This function should be used to free memory that has been previously allocated with any CORBA memory allocation function. It does deep/recursive/intelligent deallocation of memory, including deallocation of values of CORBA_any types, sequence buffers and elements, etc. @mem: pointer to any memory block allocated by CORBA/ORBit Allocates a memory buffer that can hold @nelemems elements of type @tc. @tc: typecode of the elements of the array @nelements: number of elements of the array @Returns: the address of the newly allocated memory buffer Changes the size of a CORBA memory buffer. @old: old memory segment, possibly allocated by ORBit_alloc_tcval() @tc: typecode of the elements of the array @old_num_elements: current number of elements of the array @num_elements: new desired size of the array @Returns: the new location of the array
