But the standard says that CORBA_ORB_init() is declared as:

extern CORBA_ORB
CORBA_ORB_init(int *argc,
                char **argv,
                CORBA_ORBid orb_identifier,
                CORBA_Environment *env);

So unfortunately it really doesn't matter much whether you're correct  
or not as the standard trumps any conceivable argument.

Best,
