## Detailed Description

Base class for TAO sequences.

This class provides a common interface for all IDL sequences, hence the interpreted marshal engine can manipulate them in a type safe manner.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual void TAO_Base_Sequence::_allocate_buffer | ( | CORBA::ULong | length | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Ensure that the buffer contains space for at least <length> elements. The constructor must be called for any new elements, the old ones (if any) must be copied into the buffer using operator= and then their destructors must be called. Finally the old buffer must be released.

virtual void TAO_Base_Sequence::_deallocate_buffer | ( | void |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Must deallocate the buffer and then set it to zero.

void TAO_Base_Sequence::_downcast | ( | void * | target,
|  | CORBA::Object * | src
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Used for sequences of objects to downcast a recently demarshalled object reference into the right type.

void TAO_Base_Sequence::_shrink_buffer | ( | CORBA::ULong | new_length,
|  | CORBA::ULong | old_length
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Some sequences (of objects and strings) require some cleanup if the sequence is shrunk. The spec requires the destructor to release the objects only from position <0> to <length-1>; so shrink and then delete could result in a memory leak.

CORBA::Object * TAO_Base_Sequence::_upcast | ( | void * | src | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Used for sequences of object to convert from the derived type into the Object class.

void TAO_Base_Sequence::check_bounds | ( | char const * | filename,
|  | unsigned long | lineno,
|  | CORBA::ULong | tao_idx,
|  | CORBA::ULong | tao_max
| ) | const`[protected]`

ACE_INLINE CORBA::ULong TAO_Base_Sequence::maximum | ( | void |  | ) | const

| Return the maximum length of the sequence.
