[okl4-developer] question on "string" and "smallstring" support

[Jean-Christophe DUBOIS]

Hum ... I am not sure that even the smallstring would work with the latest
OKL4 release. 

The smallstring type is understood by magpie ans the code seems to be
correctly generated but the smallstring type seems to be just missing from
OKL4 header files. Therefore no compilation is possible.

Was smallstring "removed" on purpose or is this a mistake?

Once again some documentation on the IDL syntax/types supported by OKL4
magpie would be helpful.
