| #22 | fixed | Modification to interfaces, wrappers and adapters section | jasper | michelpons |
| Description |
In the section on interfaces, wrappers and adapters of the main page of COBIA Reference, there is the sentence "For example, wrappers take care of hiding the object pointer, of checking return values and converting these into C++ exception, and for converting return values from an output argument to an actual return value.". Why is it "for converting" and not "of converting"? Is it also common to say "converting these into C++ exception" because this conversion happens only if the check of the return values says that something is amiss? Why not "of checking return values (and if necessary raise en exception), and of converting return values from an output argument to an actual return value"? |

| #23 | fixed | Description of basic data types | jasper | michelpons |
| Description |
In the main page of the COBIA Reference, the section on "Basic data types" begins with "Data that is exchanged via interface methods is packed in a format defined by COBIA's basic data types. The following non-container basic data types are defined:". Then non-container basic data types are listed followed by a list of container data types. Seems to me that a sentence could be inserted after the first one just to announce that there are both data types which are containers and ones which are not containers. Also I am not entirely sure of the distinction made here because a container is supposedly so that its "instances are collections of other objects". Is it really the meaning given here? |

| #24 | fixed | Modification to interfaces, wrappers and adapters section | jasper | michelpons |
| Description |
In the section on interfaces, wrappers and adapters of the main page of COBIA Reference, there is the sentence "Implementing an interface directly is also not necessarily C++ friendly. For this purpose, and interface adapter is provided for interfaces. An interface wrapper is a base class that implements the raw C interface. " Appears that interface adapter is provided to resolve the issue described in the first sentence. But then the paragraph goes on speaking only of interface wrappers. The possible relationship between adapters and wrappers is not told. Could this be made more consistent? |
