- <July 6> This feature will wait until we get a full-featured ORB that
- talks over the network. I don't think anyone (especially myself) has
- enough knowledge to implement it on the first go-round. -ECL

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Fast way to avoid marshalling at all for calls to stuff in the same
- address space:
-
- typedef struct CORBA_Object_struct *CORBA_Object;
- struct CORBA_Object_struct {
- void (*release)(CORBA_Object _handle, CORBA_Environment &ev);
- };
-
- #define CORBA_Object_release(_handle, evptr) _handle->release(_handle, evptr)
-
- You would do this for all subclasses of an object, too:
-
- typedef struct example_struct *example;
- struct example_struct {
- void (*op1)(CORBA_Object _handle, int inparam, CORBA_Environment &ev);
- };
-
- #define example_op1(_handle, inparam, evptr) \
- _handle->release(_handle, inparam, evptr)
-
- That is all.
-
- -----------------
- Multiple inheritance makes this not-work.
-
- However, we can still have our fun.

- gulong CORBA_Object_class_id;

- typedef struct CORBA_Object_methods *CORBA_Object_methods
- struct CORBA_Object_methods {
- void (*release)(CORBA_Object _handle, CORBA_Environment &ev);
