/**
 * Symbol "sidl.rmi.InstanceHandle" (version 0.9.17)
 * 
 *  
 * This interface holds the state information for handles to
 * remote objects.  Client-side messaging libraries are expected
 * to implement <code>sidl.rmi.InstanceHandle</code>,
 * <code>sidl.rmi.Invocation</code> and
 * <code>sidl.rmi.Response</code>.
 * 
 * Every stub with a connection to a remote object holds a pointer
 * to an InstanceHandle that manages the connection. Multiple
 * stubs may point to the same InstanceHandle, however.  Babel
 * takes care of the reference counting, but the developer should
 * keep concurrency issues in mind.
 * 
 * When a new remote object is created:
 * sidl_rmi_InstanceHandle c = 
 * sidl_rmi_ProtocolFactory_createInstance( url, typeName,
 * _ex );
 * 
 * When a new stub is created to connect to an existing remote
 * instance:
 * sidl_rmi_InstanceHandle c = 
 * sidl_rmi_ProtocolFactory_connectInstance( url, _ex );
 * 
 * When a method is invoked:
 * sidl_rmi_Invocation i = 
 * sidl_rmi_InstanceHandle_createInvocation( methodname );
 * sidl_rmi_Invocation_packDouble( i, "input_val" , 2.0 );
 * sidl_rmi_Invocation_packString( i, "input_str", "Hello" );
 * ...
 * sidl_rmi_Response r = sidl_rmi_Invocation_invokeMethod( i );
 * sidl_rmi_Response_unpackBool( i, "_retval", &succeeded );
 * sidl_rmi_Response_unpackFloat( i, "output_val", &f );

/**
 * Create a sub-array of another array. This resulting

 * greater than 1.  If you are removing dimension,
 * indicate the dimensions to remove by setting
 * numElem[i] to zero for any dimension i wthat should
 * go away in the new array.  The meaning of each
 * argument is covered below.
 * 
 * src       the array to be created will be a subset
 *           of this array. If this argument is NULL,
 *           NULL will be returned. The array returned
 *           borrows data from src, so modifying src or
 *           the returned array will modify both
 *           arrays.
 * 
 * dimen     this argument must be greater than zero
 *           and less than or equal to the dimension of
 *           src. An illegal value will cause a NULL
 *           return value.
 * 
 * numElem   this specifies how many elements from src
 *           should be taken in each dimension. A zero
 *           entry indicates that the dimension should
 *           not appear in the new array.  This
 *           argument should be an array with an entry
 *           for each dimension of src.  Passing NULL
 *           here will cause NULL to be returned.  If
 *           srcStart[i] + numElem[i]*srcStride[i] is
 *           greater than upper[i] for src or if
 *           srcStart[i] + numElem[i]*srcStride[i] is
 *           less than lower[i] for src, NULL will be
 *           returned.
 * 
 * srcStart  this array holds the coordinates of the
 *           first element of the new array. If this
 *           argument is NULL, the first element of src
 *           will be the first element of the new
 *           array. If non-NULL, this argument should
 *           be an array with an entry for each
 *           dimension of src.  If srcStart[i] is less
 *           than lower[i] for the array src, NULL will
 *           be returned.
 * 
 * srcStride this array lets you specify the stride
 *           between elements in each dimension of
 *           src. This stride is relative to the
 *           coordinate system of the src array. If
 *           this argument is NULL, the stride is taken
 *           to be one in each dimension.  If non-NULL,
 *           this argument should be an array with an
 *           entry for each dimension of src.
 * 
 * newLower  this argument is like lower in a create
 *           method. It sets the coordinates for the
 *           first element in the new array.  If this
 *           argument is NULL, the values indicated by
 *           srcStart will be used. If non-NULL, this
 *           should be an array with dimen elements.
