Code generation for WITH COMPONENTS about asn1scc HOT 2 CLOSED

This was recently discussed here: http://taste.tuxfamily.org/mantis/view.php?id=543
(Let me know if you do not have an account or face issues creating one/accessing it)

Basically two conclusions were reached:

1. Removing the .exist field could break existing code so we decided to keep it, but the encoding function ignores it. Note that with uPER the bit in the encoding packet has to be there in any case, this is a rule of the uPER encodings (this subtype constraint is not visible to uPER). So even if you have a WITH COMPONENTS (PRESENT or ABSENT), it remains an optional field from the point of view of the encoder.

2. ACN was updated to solve this last "issue" by not putting this extra bit in the packets if there is a subtype constraint

Thanks, Maxime. I searched mantis for this but obviously my search wasn't good enough :(

I will explore what can be done with the ACN and close this issue.
