Description:

How does Typecode.equal() deal with compact typecodes?

Resolution:

According to CORBA 3 02-06-01, 4.11

"The equal operation returns TRUE if and only if for the target TypeCode and the TypeCode passed through the parameter tc, the set of legal operations is the same and invoking any operation from that set on the two TypeCodes return identical results."

Therefore if one typecode has been compacted and one hasn't they are not equal. (Of course, if both have been compacted they will be).
