AW: minimum implementation for smtp-set

["Nölle, Jochen"]

Hello Frank,

thank you for your answer. For me as a "newcomer" (and I think there are
several newcomer here) it is a problem to get started with
agent++/snmp++.

All documentation I have found already is 
- a documentation about SNMP++ from Peter Mellquist,
- your doxygen source code documentation (but there are almost very few
functions documented, only class/object relations may be extracted well
from this doc),
- some sample code like agent_copy.cpp or files in simagent folder.
Did I miss anything?

In my opinion it would help much, if you write a small description in
the sample sourcecode about the purpose of the examples and a little bit
about what it does at runtime (this could all be describe in maybe 2 or
three sentences).

I think you provide a very good source code library with many features
to serve most requirements of snmp-(agent)-developers. To make it really
perfect it would be helpful to extend source-code documentation compiled
with doxygen. There is no need to explain every function (only if the
function does not explain itself easily) but a little bit of
class-description would help many developers to use your code.

With best regards,

Jochen Noelle

Jochen,

Basically there is no need to implement anything.
Using a MibLeaf instance constructed with OID and
correct syntax will already provide all functionality
to support SNMP SET requests.

In addition, AgentGen generated code is ready to
use. No extra implementation is needed. If the agent
crashes in "replace_value", then the initial value is
not properly initialized or you might have modified
the generated code...

What kind of explanation of the example code do
you expect? More comments on structure? Method
calls?

Best regards,
Frank
