[libsmi] Error check not provided in libsmi.....

11 Dec 2001


      Hello,
If a table element is declared as a particular type in the Entry
and later declared as a different type in its declaration part, it
is not given as an error by the libsmi tool.
For example,
PppGzipStatusEntry ::=
    SEQUENCE {
            pppGzipStatusIfIndex
         INTEGER,
            pppGzipStatusRxIfWindowSize
         INTEGER,
    pppGzipStatusTxIfDecompressedDataSize
         Counter32
    }
pppGzipStatusTxIfDecompressedDataSize  OBJECT-TYPE
   SYNTAX           INTEGER
   MAX-ACCESS  read-only
   STATUS           current
   DESCRIPTION
      ""
   ::= { pppGzipStatusEntry  3 }
Here "pppGzipStatusTxIfDecompressedDataSize" is declared as Counter32 type
in 'PppGzipStatusEntry' but later declared as INTEGER in its definition
part. This
should be given as an error. But libsmi tool doesn't check for these
mistakes!!!!!
Kind Regards,
Vivekanandan.V
