Description

We are using idlj (version 3.2) to generate java files. The Helper classes use Double-checked locking for the type() which can be unsafe.

Our fix right now is to modify the code after idlj has done it's job, would it be possible to have it generate different code?

(Am I even creating a case in the correct project)

Example of the generated code is:
private static org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode __typeCode = null;
private static boolean __active = false;
synchronized public static org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode type ()
{
if (__typeCode == null)
{
synchronized (org.omg.CORBA.TypeCode.class)
{
if (__typeCode == null)
{
if (__active)

{ return org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init().create_recursive_tc ( _id ); }

__active = true;
....
#### Environment
w7-vs2010-64
IDL-to-Java compiler (portable), version "3.2"
