 *
 * ACE Common Data Representation (CDR) marshaling and demarshaling
 * classes.
 *
 * This implementation was inspired in the CDR class in SunSoft's
 * IIOP engine, but has a completely different implementation and a
 * different interface too.
 *
 * The current implementation assumes that the host has 1-byte,
 * 2-byte and 4-byte integral types, and that it has single
 * precision and double precision IEEE floats.
 * Those assumptions are pretty good these days, with Crays being
 * the only known exception.
 *
 * Optimizations
 * -------------
 *  ACE_LACKS_CDR_ALIGNMENT
 *  @author Arvind S. Krishna <arvindk@dre.vanderbilt.edu>
 *
 *  CDR stream ignores alignment when marshaling data. Use this option
 *  only when ACE_DISABLE_SWAP_ON_READ can be enabled. This option requires
 *  ACE CDR engine to do both marshaling and demarshaling.

/**
 * @class ACE_OutputCDR
 *
 * @brief A CDR stream for marshalling data, most often for transmission to
 * another system which may or may not have the same byte order.
 *
 * This class is based on the the CORBA spec for Java (98-02-29),
 * java class omg.org.CORBA.portable.OutputStream.  It diverts in
 * a few ways:
 * @li Operations taking arrays don't have offsets, because in C++
 *     it is easier to describe an array starting from x+offset.
 * @li Operations return an error status, because exceptions are
 *     not widely available in C++ (yet).
