[ovs-dev] [openflow-discuss] vswitch-idl.c

[Ben Pfaff]

This is an OVS question and a development question and so it's odd to
bring it to a list for discussing OpenFlow.  I'm adding ovs-dev.

Because nothing should look at that member after a column in
unparsed.  In fact, nothing outside of ovsdb-idl.c should have access
to the column at all at that point.  If it does, that's a bug in
ovsdb-idl.c or in the code that calls into it.

If you provide a full explanation of what you're doing, perhaps we can
help.
