Oidx in Agent++

[Frank Fock]

Alex,

You are right. The 0 is a valid sub-identifier. But what
should these operations return when the OID is invalid?
If you are not sure whether the OID you are processing
is valid or not you should call Oidx::valid() before you
call one of the below methods. They are just returning
0 to avoid crashes if invalid OIDs are used.

Best regards,
Frank
