Re: [libsmi] Default values for SMI_BASETYPE_OBJECTIDENTIFIER type

9 May 2002


      Hi,
I am back to this issue. In the libsmi library for v0.3.1 file parser-smi.c, the following
code is included:
case 184:
#line 3374 "parser-smi.y"
{
       /*
        * SMIv1 allows something like { 0 0 } !
        * SMIv2 does not!
        */
       /* TODO: make it work correctly for SMIv1 */
       smiPrintError(thisParserPtr,
       ERR_OID_DEFVAL_TOO_LONG);
       yyval.valuePtr = smiMalloc(sizeof(SmiValue));
       yyval.valuePtr->basetype = SMI_BASETYPE_OBJECTIDENTIFIER;
       yyval.valuePtr->len = 2;
       yyval.valuePtr->value.oid = smiMalloc(2 * sizeof(SmiSubid));
       yyval.valuePtr->value.oid[0] = 0;
       yyval.valuePtr->value.oid[1] = 0;
   ;
    break;}
I believe this code sets the default oid value to 0.0. If you have a default value in the
MIB that is valid for example:
myObjectID      OBJECT-TYPE
 SYNTAX OBJECT IDENTIFIER
 MAX-ACCESS read-write
 STATUS current
 DESCRIPTION
  "An object."
 DEFVAL { { 1 3 6 1 4 1 9547 1 1 1 14 0  } }
 ::= { fooTest 14 }
The default value returned from smidump.exe is:
 scalar myObjectID {
    oid             fooTest.14;
    type            ObjectIdentifier;
    access          readwrite;
    default         zeroDotZero;
    description
       "An object.";
  };
Are you able use smidump to print out a default for an Object Identifier type other than
zeroDotZero?
Thanks,

Hello,
It appears as if the default value for type object identifier is hardcoded to 0.0. There
is a TODO in the file(s) parser-smi*.c.
I need to implement default support for this type and was curious if anybody had done so
already.
Thanks for all your help.
