XField::set() has been specified wrong: set() changes the object parameter, e.g. a STRUCT field, thus it has to be [inout]. For a long time, this bug hasn't been discovered, because when calling from pure C++, modifying the Any's internal STRUCT works, although it violates Any's const-ness (passed as Any const&). But this hurts concerning bridging to different languages: [in] parameters aren't written back, so the modification gets lost. Thus use reflection.XField2 to be on the safe side, though XField still works (except for its set()). hope this clarifies, -Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
