[omniORB] bug in nil object reference in any?

[renej]

the following code fails:

#include <iostream>
#include <omniORB4/CORBA.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
CORBA::Any any;
any <<= CORBA::Object::_nil();
cout << "kind: " << any.type()->kind() << endl;
CORBA::Object_ptr objPtr;
any >>= objPtr;

cdrStream *cdr = new cdrMemoryStream();
any >>= *cdr;

return 0; }

tab+enter... problem in gmail...
anyway, the shown code results in:

kind: 14
omniORB: Assertion failed. This indicates a bug in the application
using omniORB, or maybe in omniORB itself.
file: any.cc
line: 381
info: kind == CORBA::tk_void || kind == CORBA::tk_null
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'omniORB::fatalException'
Aborted

but using a nil object reference in an any is allowed isn't it?

It's a bug. I've fixed it in CVS.

Cheers,
