fundamental types

[dushara]

Hi,

Currently the framework doesn't allow fundamental types to be
instantiated. Is this the expected behaviour?

BTW.
Do you prefer a single thread to im_type unit testing related
messages?

Thanks

Yes, it's intended.

I'm ok with both ways.

How can they be used if they can't be instantiated? E.g. Aren't
serialisation etc required (or have I missed something)?

IMStream class has special methods to deal with fundamental types. Fundamental types are not objects, you can just use the corresponding C data types, such as int, double, char *, etc.
