[coyotos-dev] BigNum.cxx buglet?

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

That is very helpful. Thank you.

The truncation of the CodedName() result is intentional. Interface IDs
are 64 bits, but method code points are only 32 bits.

The problem in your case is going to be in the macro definition of
OC_coyotos_Cap_destroy. Can you send me a copy of the #define line for
that? It will also be in idl/coyotos/Cap.h.
