[AGENT++] multi-var set for a table

[siva chelliah]

One more question. I do not think we are using your MibTable object in our
code, but ...

If the manager issues the following command (after creating the row), should
I update both columns before activating the table?

1)snmpget ... <row status> 5
2)snmpset ...  <col1> data1  <row status> 1 <col2 > data2

Basically I am trying to implement create and go feature and wondering what
to do if the manager uses the above to activate the table.  In create and
go, I am planning to update both columns before activating the table.

Thanks,

Take a look at MibTable::check_creation. Although it is called for a
specific index, it processes the RowStatus first.

The SNMP protocol specification says that the outcome of this is undefined.

You cannot be sure whether the row is created or deleted by the agent, 
because
it is not defined in which order the agent has to process variable 
bindings.
