Hello Everyone,
We have the following remaining questions about the CICM code and were wondering if anyone had any ideas: 1. Many of the functions in the CICM driver are called with a double pointer parameter that is labeled as "out", meaning that the parameter is expected to be pointing to a newly created instance of its type upon the function's return (Ex: Decrypt::Stream::decrypt( Buffer** buffer )). By allocating memory in functions like this, we introduce memory leaks into the program since decrypt.cpp and encrypt.cpp do not delete anything. Is this acceptable behavior or should we add member variables with destructors into the classes to take care of cleaning up the memory? 2. Using _get and _set functions for accessing member variables works but it also introduces the potential problem of depending on uninitialized read-only member variables to set a value (Ex: We use the read-only Key::State state variable to check if a Key::_set_identifier() call is valid). Since we do not have any constructors defined in the CICM spec, how are we meant to set read-only member variables (since in IDL, read-only members only imply _get methods)? Thanks for taking the time to read this, -Girish
