@c CORBA::TypeCode Methods
These methods are part of the public interface of CORBA::TypeCode class, as defined by the OMG CORBA specification and C++ mapping.

The C++ mapping does not declare the methods in the public CORBA::TypeCode API as virtual, so work around that by making these methods inlined to forward all calls to the corresponding protected template method (i.e. the design pattern, not the C++ feature) listed below in the protected block.

@c TypeCode Template Methods
Methods that must be implemented by CORBA::TypeCode subclasses if valid for those subclasses.

The default implementations of the non-pure virtual methods throw the CORBA::TypeCode::BadKind exception since many of these methods are TypeCode type-specific. This reduces code duplication and bloat.

The TypeCode equal(), equivalent(), kind() and get_compact_typecode() methods are valid for all TypeCodes which is why their template method "@c _i" counterparts are pure virtual.

ACE_INLINE CORBA::TypeCode_ptr CORBA::TypeCode::get_compact_typecode (  ACE_ENV_SINGLE_ARG_DECL   )  const
 

Note:
Calling this method will incur additional run-time memory consumption since TAO's implementation relies on the TypeCodeFactory to dynamically create a compact TypeCode; the exception being TypeCodes with empty parameter lists. Those TypeCodes are already compact, meaning that call this method on such TypeCodes incurs no additional run-time memory requirements.
Unless you need to send compact TypeCodes "over-the-wire" or your TypeCode corresponds to a type with a large number of members, try to stick with the existing potentially non-compact TypeCode.

Note:
Compact TypeCodes may also be generated statically by the TAO_IDL compiler by invoking it with its "-Gt" (i.e. enable optimized TypeCodes) command line option.

virtual bool CORBA::TypeCode::tao_marshal (  TAO_OutputCDR &  cdr,
CORBA::ULong  offset
)  const [pure virtual]
 

Marshal this TypeCode into a CDR output stream.

Marshal this TypeCode into the cdr output CDR stream, excluding the TypeCode kind. Existing cdr contents will not be altered. The marshaled TypeCode will be appended to the given cdr CDR output stream.

Parameters:
cdr Output CDR stream into which the TypeCode will be marshaled.
offset Number of bytes currently in the output CDR stream, including the top-level TypeCode TCKind. This argument is useful for recursive TypeCodes. TypeCodes that contain other TypeCodes should pass an updated offset value to the marshaling operation for those contained TypeCodes.
Returns:
true if marshaling was successful.
Note:
This is a TAO-specific method that is not part of the standard CORBA::TypeCode interface.

If this method returns , the contents of the cdr output CDR stream are undefined.
