    Own Id: OTP-15023 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-150

  • Fixed various build issues. Note that you need to build the corba repo against an OTP of at least version 21.0.3. See the README.md file for updated build instructions.

    Own Id: OTP-15177 Aux Id(s): OTP-14283, OTP-15176, ERIERL-198, ERIERL-202, ERL-640

  • Fixed potential buffer overflow bugs in IC oe_ei_encode_long/ulong/longlong/ulonglong functions on 64-bit architectures. These functions expect 32 bit integers as the IDL type long is defined as 32 bits. But there is nothing preventing user code from "breaking" the interface and pass larger values on 64-bit architectures where the C type long is 64 bits.
