A.4 Mapping in more detail
A.4.5 Distinguished packages
This document will refer to two kinds of packages:
- The first kind are those packages defined explicitly by this specification (this Appendix).
- The second kind consists of those packages created as a result of compiling user IDL code.
The first kind of package consists of these three distinct packages: theroot package, thecorba package, and theoperation package.
The names of these packages are described below. The name of theroot package is the string "OMG.ORG/ROOT". The name of thecorba package is "OMG.ORG/CORBA". The name of theoperation package is the string "OMG.ORG/OPERATION".
The precise semantics of these three packages is described below. Informally, theroot package is the package in which Common Lisp names corresponding to IDL definitions not contained in a top-level module are interned. Thecorba package is the package in which Common Lisp names corresponding to IDL definitions and pseudo-IDL definitions in the CORBA module are interned. Theoperation package is the package into which names of Common Lisp functions corresponding to IDL operations are interned.
In addition, this specification makes use of the standard Common Lisp packages namedKEYWORD andCOMMON-LISP.
