Hi,
As an extension to RFC4506 this document seems fine. One nit, however is that
our current rxgen doesn't implement the 4506 syntax for unions.
A RFC4506 style union definition is:
union switch (DESC-TYPE DESC-NAME) {
...
} NAME;
However, AFS's rxgen takes a union defintion in the form
union NAME switch (DESC-TYPE DESC-NAME) {
...
};
For an extended union, this document defines
ext-union switch (DESC-TYPE DESC-NAME) {
...
} NAME;
So we're consistent with RFC4506, but inconsistent with the syntax used in
deployed AFS protocol definitions. I don't know to what extent this is an
issue, but it would seem difficult if we're moving towards a style of XDR that
can't be compiled by the current protocol compilers.
Cheers,
Simon
