Marshalling operator used by the stub code. A long story why the stub code uses this, let us keep it short here.

Object& CORBA::Object::operator= ( const Object & ) [private]

ACE_INLINE TAO_ORB_Core * CORBA::Object::orb_core ( void ) const

Accessor for the ORB_Core..

Convenience accessor for the object proxy broker of the underlying stub.

void CORBA::Object::set_collocated_servant ( TAO_Abstract_ServantBase * )

Mutator for setting the servant in collocated cases.

This is used by the Object_Adapter to set the servant for collocated cases and only when the object is initialized. The object initialization takes place when IOR's are lazily evaluated.

ACE_INLINE IOP::IOR * CORBA::Object::steal_ior ( void )

Accessors for the underlying IOP::IOR's.

The steal_ior () call basically relinquishes the ownership of the IOR. This is useful for cases when one wants to initialize a new CORBA Object

void CORBA::Object::tao_object_initialize ( Object * ) [static]

Helper function for reading contents of an IOR.

Member Data Documentation

IOP::IOR_var CORBA::Object::ior_ [private]

If the IOR hasnt been evaluated fully, then the contents of the IOR that we received should be in here!

CORBA::Boolean CORBA::Object::is_evaluated_ [private]

Flag to indicate whether the IOP::IOR has been evaluated fully.

CORBA::Boolean CORBA::Object::is_local_ [private]

Specify whether this is a local object or not.

ACE_Lock* CORBA::Object::object_init_lock_ [private]

Protect reference count manipulation from race conditions.

This lock is only instantiated for unconstrained objects. The reason for this is that locality-constrained objects that do not require reference counting (the default) may be instantiated in the critical path.

TAO_ORB_Core* CORBA::Object::orb_core_ [private]

Cached pointer of our ORB_Core.

Be aware that this pointer can be zero or not. In fact there are two ways to get this pointer filled:

If CORBA::Object is constructed through one of the constructors with a stub and null ORB_Core, we use the orb_core from the stub to fill this pointer
If the other constructor, which uses IOP::IOR is used, a stub needs to be created first (i.e., the IOR needs to be evaluated first), in which case the ORB_Core would be null. The orb_core pointer then needs to be accessed from the stub and passed back as part of _get_orb().

TAO_Stub* CORBA::Object::protocol_proxy_ [private]

Pointer to the protocol-specific "object" containing important profiling information regarding this proxy. The protocol proxy is (potentially) shared among several Objects

TAO_Configurable_Refcount CORBA::Object::refcount_ [private]

Number of outstanding references to this object.

Reimplemented in TAO_Local_RefCounted_Object.
