Add
SET|SEQUENCE OF ANY
encoding supportFor example:
This patch adds support of the above ASN.1 syntax to BER/DER/CER
codecs.
It appears that to implement this feature properly,
SetOf
/SequenceOf
pyasn1 types need to have
.componentType
wrapped into somethingsimilar to
NamedType
thatSet
/Sequence
have. That additionallayer would then carry the open type meta information. Without it,
Sequence
/Set
codec needs to signalSetOf
/SequenceOf
codecof the open type being processed, which is a slight hack.
A other inconvenience is that when
SetOf
/SequenceOf
deal withan open type component, they should not verify types on component
assignment. Without open type property in
SetOf
/SequenceOf
,the code checks for
Any
component type which is another hack.The above shortcomings should be addressed in the follow up patch.
