0. ASN.1 grammar parser is written mostly with respect to constructing a tree, so a tree destruction is not fully supported and certain memory leaks are known. Not a huge problem for run-once programs like a compiler. NOTE: This statement does not apply to the target code _produced_ by the compiler. 1. REAL type is not supported yet. 2. For purposes of compilation, INTEGER type is modelled using a large static type (asn_integer_t), but defined as any positive or negative value by ASN.1. Not a problem as most specifications use very small values anyway. NOTE: This statement does not apply to the target code _produced_ by the compiler. 3. ASN Macros are prohibited by the current ASN.1 standard, and are not supported. 4. Multiple tags applied at the same level are not supported: BadTags ::= [0] EXPLICIT [2] IMPLICIT OtherType The same thing could be achieved by using the indirection: GoodTags ::= [0] EXPLICIT OtherTypePtr OtherTypePtr ::= [2] IMPLICIT OtherType 5. Mixed definite/indefinite length in a _single_ BER tags sequence is not supported. Should not be a problem in the real world. Please note that it is still possible, for example, to encode a wrapper structure using definite length, and encode its substructure member using indefinite length. The BER decoder is perfectly capable of decoding such sequences.
