ASN.1/C++ Encoder/Decoder Return Codes

Applies to: ASN.1/C++ v7.3-7.3.1
Code Error Description
1
MORE_BUF
User-provided output buffer is too small.
2
NEGATIVE_UINTEGER
An INTEGER value that was constrained to be greater than zero is negative.
3
PDU_RANGE
The PDU number passed to the encoder/decoder does not match any PDU number in the ASN.1 specification. In ASN.1/C++, this error often means that the control information is destroyed or the wrong OssControl object is specified as the function parameter.
4
MORE_INPUT
The end of the input buffer was reached prematurely, before the PDU could be decoded.
5
DATA_ERROR
The encoded data is invalid.
6
BAD_ARG
An incorrect value, probably a NULL pointer, was passed to a routine.
7
BAD_VERSION
There is a discrepancy between the ASN.1/C++ compiler-generated files and the runtime library they are linked to. There are a few causes:
  • The files generated by a trial license compiler are linked with a non-trial runtime library, or vice versa.
  • In general, compiler versions and runtime versions can be mixed. However, the output from 4.0+ compilers cannot be used with pre-4.0 runtimes, and vice versa.
  • The asn1dflt file used by the compiler when cross-compiling does not match the actual target platform.
8
OUT_MEMORY
Out of memory.
9
BAD_CHOICE
During encoding, an unknown CHOICE selector is encountered. The input object is corrupt.
9
PDU_MISMATCH
During decoding, the type derived from the BER or XML tag does not match the object type being decoded.
10
BAD_OBJID
During encoding, an OBJECT IDENTIFIER value does not conform to the X.208 standard.
10
LIMITED
During decoding, an implementation limit is exceeded. For example, an INTEGER value is too large.
11
BAD_PTR
An unexpected NULL pointer is encountered in the object being encoded, which means that the input object is corrupt.
12
BAD_TIME
An illegal OssGeneralizedTime, OssUTCTime, or XML time value is found.
13
INDEFINITE_NOT_SUPPORTED
BER indefinite-length encoding is not supported.
14
MEM_ERROR
A memory violation error occurred, which could mean that an invalid pointer was passed to the function, or an object passed as a parameter is corrupt.
15
BAD_TABLE
The encoder/decoder control table is bad; the OssControl object is probably corrupt.
16
TOO_LONG
Encoding a value that exceeds a specified SIZE constraint is attempted while strong constraint checking is disabled.
17
CONSTRAINT_VIOLATED
A constraint violation occurred.
18

19
ACCESS_SERIALIZATION_ERROR

20
NULL_TBL
The pointer to the encoder/decoder control table is NULL, caused by using an uninitialized or improperly initialized OssControl object.
21
NULL_FCN
An internal encoder/decoder pointer is NULL, caused either by using an improperly initialized OssControl object or by corrupt memory.
22

Unknown encoding rules are set in the OssControl object; the OssControl object is corrupt.
