Overview The element_type operation returns a type (CORBA::TypeCode *) representative of the array element of an ArrayDef. Original interface ArrayDef Interface Exceptions CORBA::SystemException
Intended Usage
The element_type attribute of an ArrayDef object points to a CORBA::TypeCode that represents the type of the array element. The element_type read operation returns a copy of the CORBA::TypeCode referenced by the element_type attribute.
IDL Syntax
readonly attribute TypeCode element_type;
Input parameters
None.
Return values
- TypeCode *
- The returned value is a pointer to a copy of the CORBA::TypeCode referenced by the element_type attribute. The memory is owned by the caller and can be returned by invoking CORBA::release.
Example
// C++ // assume that 'this_array' has already been initialized CORBA::ArrayDef * this_array; // retrieve the TypeCode which represents the array element CORBA::TypeCode * array_element_type; array_element_type = this_array-> element_type ();
