-          In order to ensure that enum values are 32 bits,
-          as required by the CORBA spec, the IDL
-          compiler has been adding an extra value to generated
-          enums with the value 0x7FFFFFF. It turns out that
-          this is a problem when developers use a strict C++
-          compiler, one which requires that all possible case
-          values be handled in a switch statement. If there is
-          a switch statement in application code that uses a
-          generated enum value, developers must add a
-          default case to their switch statement, and TAO's
-          enforcement of the 32-bit requirement for enum
-          values is not transparent. Since TAO no longer
-          supports interpretive marshaling, Carlos points out
-          that we can remove the extra enum member, and
-          enforce 32-bit values in the enum CDR operators.
-          Those changes have been made in the above files.
-          In the extraction operator, since a memcpy has been
-          replaced by a cast, performance should improve
-          slightly. Thanks to Alex Hornby <alex@anvil.co.uk>
-          for reporting this problem.
