A MibTable::prepare_set_request() question

[Alex Finogenov]

Frank and Jochen,

I have noticed, that a create request on a table with a required
no-default-value column of an unsigned int type FAILS when the value of the
column's varbind is 0, even though it is a valid value and varbinds for all
other required columns are present with respectively valid values.

The culprit seems to be the statement:

if(!l->valid() && (l->get_value() == pvbs[i]))
{
    ...
    return FALSE;
}

It is located inside MibTable::ready(), that is invoked at the end of
MibTable::check_creation(), that is called by
MibTable::prepare_set_request(). At the time of the failure the leaf is NOT
valid because it is not a DEFVAL and has not passed through
MibTable::commit_set_request(). Since the initial value for it is 0, and it
equals to the new value (pvbs[i]), the condition fails altogether.

Do you have any comments or suggestions?

Thanks,
Alex
