+
+        * tao/nvlist.cpp (add_value_consume): Added a space between * and
+          /* to avoid warning messages on NT.
+
+Thu Jan 01 14:22:34 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.50, released Thu Jan 01 14:22:34 1998.
+
+Thu Jan  1 13:31:55 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: An unwanted
+        reference operator "&" was getting generated for sequences whose
+        element types were not special managed types. This was because the
+        case for handling the managed types somehow got mixed with the
+        normal ccase. Thanks to Nanbor Wang (nw1@cs.wustl.edu) for
+        pointing this out.
+
+Wed Dec 31 18:29:57 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the way
+        we use managed types. Instead of allocating an array, we now
+        instantiate the
+        managed type on the fly i.e., when the operator [] is invoked. The
+        reasons for doing this are: (1) no need for dynamic memory
+        allocation for maintaining the array of managers (2) It was
+        causing all kinds of problems while decoding because the sizeof
+        such sequence classes was bigger than those without managed
+        types. However, due to this scheme, we can no longer define the []
+        operator to return a reference because that would mean that a
+        reference to a local variable/temporary will be returned. Hence
+        changes were necessary in files.
+
+        TypeCode generation was also erroneous. This is fixed. We were
+        generating wrong encapsulation length.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: Indentation in typecode generation.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: nested_type_name - improved to
+        eliminate one more strange error message getting generated by the
+        MSVC++ compiler. Still needs testing.
+
+        * TAO/tao/{invoke, decode}.cpp: Reversed the changes which were
+        made to account for sequencese with managed types. We no longer
+        need these changes because sequences with managed types no longer
+        keep an extra data member. Thus the size of all sequences (top
+        level) is the same (so is the layout).
+
+        * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: commneted out unused variables, parameters.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Included tests for string sequences,
+        variable sized structs as well as nested structs.
+
+Tue Dec 30 13:46:44 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h (portnum_): Changed its data
+          type from CORBA::ULong to CORBA::UShort to kill warning
+          messages.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (create_list): Changed data type of the loop
+          counter to CORBA::Long.  This caused a warning message on VC.
+
+        * doc/releasenotes/index.html: Added documentation for adding IDL
+          files into Visual C++'s projects.
+
+        * tests/Param_Test/Param_Test.dsw:
+        * tests/Param_Test/client.dsp:
+        * tests/Param_Test/server.dsp: New workspace and projects were added.
+
+Tue Dec 30 10:15:11 1997  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Fast_Reactor.h (ACE_ES_Fast_Reactor):
+          Added the other version of handle_events to stop the compiler
+          from being cranky.
+
+Tue Dec 30 10:06:45 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation,
+        be_state_attribute}.cpp - Unnecessary call on "init_mgr" for
+        sequences that do not have any managed types was getting
+        generated. This is fixed. In addition, MSVC++ compiler was
+        producing an error saying "ambiguous assignment" when an "_out"
+        variable was assigned to a pointer type. Solaris platform (CC and
+        g++) did not give any such errors since they were (most probably)
+        using the operator *() on the _out class, but MSVC++ did not.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: The same "ambiguous
+        assignment" error described above has been fixed here too.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added a method called "reset_parameters"
+        so that we do not change the "in" parameter for every
+        iteration. Previuosly we were settingthe in parameter differently
+        for every new iteration. However, for performance comparison
+        purposes, this was not correct (e.g., in the case of string
+        sequences or unbounded strings where everytime we were sending a
+        different lenght string and hence the performance numbers were
+        different for each run and couldn't be compared.)
+
+Mon Dec 29 21:51:38 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: get_name was returning a local
+        variable. In addition, added generationof a method called
+        "init_mgr" that must be used to initialize the sequence's
+        underlying mgr_ vector.
+
+        There was some problem with bounded/unbounded sequence code
+        generation (an error  in an if stmt).
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_attribute,
+        be_state_operation}.cpp - added code to generate the call to
+        init_mgr for sequences after the do_call is made.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h : gen_name returns char* rather
+        than const char* because we now allocate a new string and return
+        it.
+
+        * TAO/tao/Makefile: applied make depend to incorporate nvlist.i
+
+        * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Added a "boolean release" field to
+        CORBA_SEQUNECE so that its layout is similar to the generated code
+        for sequences.
+
+        * TAO/tao/decode.cpp: In sequence decode, we also set the release
+        flag to 1. In addition, for sequences of strings and objrefs, we
+        zero out additional 4 bytes that are used to store a pointer to
+        the manager array.
+
+        * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: some indentation. Also passed the correct
+        parameter to string/wstring::decode
+
+        * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: In do_dynamic_call, for sequences of strings
+        (inclusing typedefed sequences of strings that themselves can be
+        typedefed), we must allocate size+4 bytes for demarshaling the
+        sequences. The extra 4 bytes are for the manager array pointer.
+
+        * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: I the method item, the loop should have run
+        from o to max_ rather than upto len_.
+
+        * TAO/tao/orbobj.cpp: Used placement new of NamedValue in the
+        create_list method.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added new tests for Fixed_Struct and
+        string sequence. Added a README file.
+
+        * TAO/doc/releasenotes/index.html: updated with latest success stories.
+
+Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.49, released Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997.
+
+Thu Dec 25 18:43:03 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_attribute, be_state_argument}.cpp: Handled
+        teh remaining cases (except Arrays) that use the newly added
+        methiods to class NVList. The Param_Test test suite is being
+        developed to track any memory leaks.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:  Used sequence_var in
+        the cube_sequence function to avoid memory leaks. However, there
+        still are leaks.
+
+Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.48, released Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997.
+
+Wed Dec 24 18:44:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao: Added the nvlist.i file to the tao/ directory.
+
+Wed Dec 24 18:11:08 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_state_argument}.cpp: Added
+        "argument_count" method to be_operation which is helpful in
+        creating an NVList of the appropriate size. Previously we were
+        creating an empty list and adding parameters one by one. This was
+        causing a lot of reallocations which were wasteful.
+
+        At this time, we have code base that can successfully send/receive
+        primitive data types as well as strings.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_operation.h : Added a new method called
+        "argument_count" to give us the total number of parameters we
+        have.
+
+        * TAO/tao/{any.cpp, connect.cpp, corbacom.i, decode.cpp,
+        iioporb.cpp, marshal.i, objtable.cpp, optable.cpp, request.cpp}:
+        In all these files, after a call to CORBA::string_free, we made
+        the pointer point to 0. Otherwise, purify was giving us "Free
+        Memory read" errors. Also, this was (by fluke) causing some
+        applications to run successfully.
+
+        * TAO/tao/{nvlist.h, nvlist.cpp, nvlist.i, corba.h}: Added
+        unimplemented methods to NamedValue and NVList. Created a nvlist.i
+        file and updated corba.h
+
+        * TAO/tao/corbacom.cpp: In an assignment operator for Sting_out,
+        we were not checking if the assignment was from ourselves. Also a
+        array was incorrectly being deleted as "delete ..." rather than
+        "delete [] ...".
+
+        * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: Inside do_call, we were not deleting memory
+        for the "in" part of the inout parameters. Right now we have fixed
+        this problem only for strings. Others will be added as new tests
+        are built. Do_dynamic_call also needs such a fix. NOT DONE in this release.
+
+        * TAO/tao/orb_core.h, orb_core.cpp: ORB_init takes "const char*"
+        orb name as the argument instead of just char*.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Successful in testing
+        "test_unbounded_string". removed a few memory leaks where we were
+        not deleting the client objects.
+
+Tue Dec 23 19:34:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.47, released Tue Dec 23 19:34:40 1997.
+
+Tue Dec 23 13:36:50 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_sequence.cpp: ACE_NESTED_CLASS must be
+        generated for seq elements that are scoped. We were generating
+        this macor only when seq elements were typedefs. However, seq
+        elements can also be structs or any other types that have an
+        enclosing scope. Thanks to Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> for
+        the bug report.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Similar problem as above for
+        return types of operations.  Bug reported by Chris Gill.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp: Whenever a _narrow fails, we were
+        trying to do a ACE_dynamic_cast to a 0. Instead, we now return a
+        0. Again thanks to Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> for
+        the bug report.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: We were ot generating a char
+        *& for inout string parameters. Instead only a char * was getting
+        generated. Fixed.
+
+Tue Dec 23 11:45:03 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/index.html:
+          There is no need to set config=1 when compiling
+         TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs.
+
+Mon Dec 22 22:02:49 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.46, released Mon Dec 22 22:02:49 1997.
+
+Mon Dec 22 19:08:55 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/corba.h:
+        * tao/except.cpp:
+        * tao/except.h:
+          The TAO_TRY macros use the _narrow methods for exceptions;
+          making the TAO_CATCH() macro fully functional.
+
+        * orbsvcs/Dump_Schedule/Dump_Schedule.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Dispatching_Modules.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Dispatching_Modules.i:

+        * orbsvcs/tests/Event_Latency/Event_Latency.cpp:
+          Changed the ACE_TRY (and friends) macros to TAO_TRY.
+
+        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
+          Cleaned up some exceptions definitions.
+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Event_Latency/Makefile:
+          Since the schedule is not distributed (yet) by default we
+          compile the config run, hopefully this will cause less
+          confusion.
+
+Sun Dec 21 23:41:05 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.45, released Sun Dec 21 23:41:05 1997.
+
+Sun Dec 21 20:29:33 1997    <nw1@JIG>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp: *
+          tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/server.dsp: Corrected erroneous
+          library pathes in Release version of project files.
+
+Sun Dec 21 18:30:41 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: The macro used in the #if !defined
+        (..) clause in the header files was incorrectly generated when IDL
+        file names had characters other than letters in it. Fixed.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: A new test suite to test all the parameter
+        passing modes - return, in, inout, and out for a large number of
+        IDL data types. The purpose of this test suite is to verify the
+        correctness of the stubs/skeletons generated by TAO IDL compiler,
+        eliminate any existing errors in the marshaling engine, track down
+        any memory leaks, and finally to measure the performance and fine
+        tune the code if required. In the first version of the test, we
+        only test "shorts". We will be adding other tests as soon as we
+        can.

+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (init):
+        * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (bind_new_context): Fixed

+Thu Dec 18 15:50:01 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Makefile:
+          realclean was not removing all the IDL compiler generated
+          files.
+
+Thu Dec 18 15:06:23 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+        Thanks to Keith Nicewarner <knicewar@sanders.com>, Tom Richards
+        <tomr@mcmenterprise.com>, and Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>
+        for reporting bugs which led to  some of the changes below.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp: Preliminary support for arrays. Not
+        complete.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_attribute}.cpp: The ParamData
+        structure *must* hold the "size" of the outermost level of the
+        return values and out parameters because the ORB has to allocate
+        memory for it and hence needs to know the size. We had a 0 in it
+        which crashed any return types that were variable in size.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a new state for
+        unions. Corresponding change to the *.h file.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Added a method called "scope" that
+        returns the corresponding scope defined by this node (if one
+        exists). Added method to the *.h file also.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Added a method called "decl" that
+        returns the be_decl method corresponding to this scope. The header
+        file was also updated.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception, be_state_exception}.cpp: I was making
+        the most stupid mistake of generating constructors per member
+        rather than one constructor that takes all the members as a
+        parameter.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the
+        naming scheme for anonymous sequences to avoid code bloat.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added template instantiation for
+        additional state to deal with code generation of members of
+        unions.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp: Made some changes so that
+        spurious code for array members doesn't get generated.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union, be_state_union}.cpp: Added a new state
+        because we were not generating code for union members that were
+        sequences or structs.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Modified netsed_type_name to use the new
+        methods on class be_decl/be_scope.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_union_branch.cpp: gen_client_stubs uses the same
+        strategy as the other gen_client methods.
+
+        * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: In deep_free of structures, instead of
+        passing the address of a string member to be freed, we were simply
+        passing the string that led to a segmentation fault. A careful
+        code review is necessary.
+
+        * TAO/tao/orb_core.cpp: Made "use_ior" as default as ooposed to
+        using the URL based scheme for IORs. This was necessary to have
+        interoperability with other ORBs.
+
+        * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: The server request was being released
+        immediately after returning from the dispatch method. This should
+        be done after all return/inout/out parameters are marshaled.
+
+Tue Dec 17 12:53:01 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/encode.cpp: Additional changes for wchar's
+
+Tue Dec 17 10:37:45 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed obsolete files from the VC++ project.
+          Changed name of folder from Include Files to Inline Files.
+          Inserted new header files for classview.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added missing be_state_exception.cpp to the
+          the project to eliminate link error.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar
+          problems with VxWOrks and GHS.
+
+        * tao/encode.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar
+          problems with VxWOrks and GHS.
+
+Tue Dec 16 18:29:42 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/README:
+        * docs/orbsvcs.html:
+          Started up the documentation for TAO services, at this point
+          only the directory hierarchy is explained.
+
+Tue Dec 16 08:49:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h: Added three more states for
+        return types to be generated for operator [] of sequences of
+        strings and object references.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h: Added enum constants to
+        indicate what kind of managed type is handled by the sequence. For
+        sequences other than that of strings and objrefs, this enum const
+        is MNG_NONE. Added a new method that returns the managed type.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence.cpp}: Added code to
+        generate sequences of strings and objrefs. This requires
+        generating special "managed" objects. In addition, for
+        be_state_sequence.cpp, we were not handling the case where base
+        types of sequences were not having any scope which resulted in
+        segmentation faults.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation}.cpp: Some
+        small bugs fixed. These included lack of a whitespace in the
+        generated code as well as spurious extra level of indirection
+        getting generated.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: "nested_type_name" now checks if the
+        scope with which are comparing is NUL or not before proceeding
+        further. Such a situation may arise for sequences whose base types
+        are anonymous (e.g., strings) and have no enclosing scope.
+
+        * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,cpp,i}: Removed. No more needed as teh
+        code is generated by the IDL compiler. Accordingly modified
+        corb.h and did a "make depend" on the Makefile.
+
+        * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to reflect new changes
+        as well as TO-DO stuff such as adding support for TIEs.
+
+Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.43, released Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997.
+
+Mon Dec 15 19:13:51 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Timeprobe.cpp:
+          Removed Solaris specific code, somehow it survived from some
+          debugging session. Thanks to Arturo Montes
+          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for pointing out this bug.
+
+Mon Dec 15 16:52:58 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO-INSTALL.html: Added some explanations for setting CPP_PATH
+          on NT.
+
+Mon Dec 15 16:49:58 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (cube_sequence): declare
+          local variables "l" and "j" as u_int instead of int, to avoid
+          signed/unsigned comparison.
+
+Thu Dec 11 16:44:26 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp:
+          Fixed typo missed on the previous release.
+
+Thu Dec 11 22:18:52 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Moved the code generation for the
+        _var and _out classes before the actual class declaration, but
+        after the forward declaration. This was necessary if any elements
+        in the scope of the interface are defined to be of the same type
+        as that interface. In such a situation those elements are defined
+        to be of the _var type. Hence the declaration for _var and _out
+        must precede the class declaration.
+
+Thu Dec 11 22:00:52 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/Naming_Service.cpp (main): Fixed a bug
+        related to returning an empty string as the ior in the reply from
+        the multicast request.
+
+Thu Dec 11 14:06:50 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception,be_state_exception}.cpp: Support for
+        exceptions added. Added a new file called
+        "be_state_exception.cpp".
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_state.h: Added a new singleton for
+        be_state_exception.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Template instantiations for
+        be_state_exception.
+
+        * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to include exception
+        support.
+
+        * TAO/tao/except.{h,cpp}: Moved the TypeCode member from the
+        private section to the protected section so that derived classes
+        can set it. Also, changed the variable from _type to type_ to
+        stick to the ACE design standards.
+
+Thu Dec 11 00:01:41 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.42, released Thu Dec 11 00:01:41 1997.
+
+Wed Dec 10 23:04:04 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp:
+          Still struggling with g++, it seems to use the wrong cast for
+          IDL generated T_out classes.
+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile:
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.h:
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp:
+          These files were missed in the orbsvcs hierarchy
+          reorganization.
+
+Wed Dec 10 22:38:08 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit: Fixed the  hand-crafted code to
+        make use of the many changes that were made to the dispatching
+        scheme as well as changes made to the signature of the skeletons
+        for operations of interfaces.
+
+Wed Dec 10 21:41:48 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated the release notes on the
+        Naming Service.
+
+Wed Dec 10 20:13:57 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Makefile:
+          Added orbsvcs to the hierarchy.
+
+        * The orbsvcs directory was completely reorganized, in preparation
+          for its official release. The new hierarchy is:
+          - orbsvcs/orbsvcs: Contains a library with:
+            + The client stubs for the services.
+            + Common utility classes to access the services.
+            + The server skeletons, but not their implementation.
+          - orbsvcs/Naming_Service: the COSS Naming Service.
+          - orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service: TAO Real-Time Scheduling Service.
+          - orbsvcs/Event_Service: TAO Real-Time Event Service.
+          - orbsvcs/tests: test programs and examples.
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/index.html:
+          Updated documentation on the Event Service and its friends.
+
+Wed Dec 10 19:57:07 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_i::cube_sequence):
+        Changed to explicitly use the vector_out::ptr() method to get a
+        ptr.  It seems that g++ wanted to interpret this expression
+        (output == 0) differently from Sun's C++, and this made both
+        interpret it in the desired way.
+
+Wed Dec 10 14:23:24 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp:
+          Fixed a bug when handling typedefs.
+          It was generating code for imported types, we protected the
+          generation with a !imported(), thank to Andy Gokhale
+          <gokhale@cs.wustl.edu> for helping me on this.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp:
+          Set the TCP_NODELAY option by default, otherwise oneway calls
+          are considerably slower.  It should have no effect for twoway
+          calls.  Anyway an option should be added to control this
+          behavior.
+
+Wed Dec 10 13:15:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/{be_array, be_decl, be_field, be_module,
+        be_operation, be_predefined_type, be_structure, be_typedef}.h:
+        Added a protected function called "compute_size_type" which is
+        invoked if the size type of a data structure is not known in
+        advance. This happens for structs, unions, arrays, and typedefs
+        whose size type depends on their base types.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_array, be_decl, be_field, be_module,
+        be_operation, be_predefined_type, be_structure, be_typedef}.cpp:
+        Implementation of the "compute_size_type".
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Changed code that sets "size_type" so
+        that we first see if we are unknown in which case we set our size
+        type. However, once we are VARIABLE, no body can reset us to
+        fixed. Similarly, the overloaded size_type method that return the
+        size type first checks if our size is still unknown in which case
+        it calls for "compute_size_type". This is very essential for data
+        types defined in an imported (included) *.idl file. Thanks to Tom
+        Richards (tomr@mcmenterprise.com) for reporting the bug with
+        included file which resulted in this change.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_attribute.cpp: Included a case for
+        IN_PARAM_TYPE_CH for strings (had previously forgotten to do so).
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_structure, be_structure, be_field}.cpp:
+        Revamped so that we use the same switch based technique in
+        be_state_structure.cpp to generate code. For fields that are
+        sequences or structures or unions, we also generate their code.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Thanks to Tom Richards and
+        Carlos O'Ryan for noticing a bug when we use out sequences. There
+        used to be a seg fault in deep_free.cpp because a NUL pointer was
+        being owned by an Any and getting freed. In the server skeleton,
+        for out params we now generate code after the upcall is made so
+        that for out parameter value is inserted in the NVList that is
+        marshaled by the server.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: In the generated call to _is_a, we
+        were calling CORBA::Object::_is_a if a remote call is
+        necessary. However, MSVC++ cannot handle a call of the form
+        CORBA::Object::_is_a. So we have to generate code that uses
+        ACE_CORBA_3 so as to be portable. Thanks to Nanbor Wang
+        (nw1@cs.wustl.edu).
+
+        * TAO/test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed the type of the
+        variable that was passed as the out parameter to cube_sequence.
+
+Wed Dec 10 01:02:36 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (set): Added a special case to IIOP Profile::set
+        so that if the address is INADDR_ANY, it uses the host name, but
+        otherwise uses the IP address.  This eliminates the cryptic
+        appearance of the address "0.0.0.0" in a server's IOR.
+
+Tue Dec  9 21:48:52 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+          The sequence test is not running right now, I'm commenting it
+          out until we can make it work properly.
+
+Tue Dec  9 18:02:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp: The moral of this changelog entry is to be
+        VERY careful when cutting and pasting code...the
+        resource_factory() accessor should not be setting the
+        client_factory_ member at all!
+
+Tue Dec  9 11:55:50 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added NOERROR as #define if we're not on
+        WIN32 so that IDL-generated code would continue to work.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Changed faked Resource Factory resource
+        source specifier to "tss" rather than "global".
+
+        * tao/orb_core.*: Added resource_factory() accessor to
+        TAO_ORB_Core.  This will create a default instance if it can't
+        locate one in the Service Repository, which will allow
+        applications to not encounter a hard failure when a svc.conf file
+        is missing.  A warning message is emitted stating that a default
+        is being used.  Applications should not rely on the default
+        settings, as it is very likely that the applicat might require
+        alternate settings for proper desired operation.
+
+        * tao/default_server.*: Added TAO_Reactive_Strategy template
+        class to use in place of the ACE_Reactive_Strategy.  It's only
+        difference from ACE_Reactive_Strategy is that instead of using the
+        reactor provided in the open method, it always uses that found
+        through the TAO_ORB_Core_instance().  This fix was motivated by a
+        general problem which was only observable on VxWorks with a
+        special pseudo-network transport.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Added code to fail gracefully if socket buffer
+        size changes are not supported.
+
+Mon Dec  8 13:11:46 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/index.html:
+          Added more information on how the Event Channel and friends are
+          going.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svc.conf:
+          Removed some foreign ^M from the file.
+
+        * tao/Makefile:

+        * tao/giop.cpp:
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp:
+        * tao/Timeprobe.i:
+        * tao/Timeprobe.h:
+        * tao/Timeprobe.cpp:
+          Added a instrumentation class to measure time interval, also
+          instrumented some code, as part of the ongoing effort to
+          optimize the EC, unfortunately the problems are not in TAO ;-)
+          The code is only instrumented if compiled using probe=1, no
+          overhead is introduced in normal compiles.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:

+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h:
+          Addded code to test sequences (as input and output parameters)
+          they don't work (yet).
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp:
+          The file was moved toTAO_ROOT/tao.

+        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
+          Fixed default dump file, it was using stdout!
+
+Sat Dec 06 15:42:25 1997    <nw1@DINGO>

+
+Fri Dec  5 11:42:25 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (set): Changed the IIOP::Profile::set() methods
+        which take an ACE_INET_Addr to retrieve the host IP address rather
+        than host name for storage in the profile.  This is motivated by
+        the following situation: machine has 3 interfaces (not including
+        loopback), and it is desired that clients and servers communicate
+        across only one interface.
+
+        When our IDL_Cubit example's factory created new Cubit instances,
+        the set() method would set the host name for that IIOP::Profile to
+        whatever ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name() returned.  In this case,
+        the IP addr for interface 3 (which is not the primary interface)
+        would return a *LIST* of names in which the first name was that of
+        the primary interface.  Thus, the IP address used by the client
+        would be wrong.
+
+        * tao/object.h: Minor corrections to header comments.
+
+        * tao/{orb_core,orbobj}.{h,cpp}: Moved server_factory and
+        client_factory ptr storage from CORBA_ORB to TAO_ORB_Core.  It
+        really didn't belong there in the first place.
+
+        * tao/poa.cpp: CTOR now fetches server factory ptr from the
+        TAO_ORB_Core rather than from the ORB.
+
+Thu Dec  4 18:20:55 1997  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Changed hard coded path for cl.exe to CPP_PATH
+          environment variable
+
+Thu Dec  4 11:23:55 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/include/{idl,ast,utl_idlist, utl_identifier}.h: removed
+        #include "ace/stdcpp.h" since this file was removed from
+        ACE. Instead we now include "ace/streams.h" in idl.h
+
+        Also made make depend on all the Makefiles.
+
+Wed Dec  3 16:08:34 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
+          Added some more time-stamps to the events to track and measure

+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.i:
+          Thanks to Andy Gokhale efforst the IDL compiler is able to emit
+          proper code for the EC&friends, hence I'm removing the
+          hand-crafted files.
+
+Wed Dec  3 11:12:48 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Had forgotten to emit code that
+        adds one more cast to the base POA_* class in the generated *S.i
+        file.
+
+Wed Dec 03 09:40:36 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Makefile: added TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP to
+          CPPFLAGS on CHORUS.  Thanks to Wei Chiang for this change.
+
+Tue Dec  2 15:47:09 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.h: Added some helper methods to generate
+        additional code in the form of larger operation tables, and
+        skeletons. This situation arises when we have single/multiple
+        inheritance of interfaces.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be.h: Included ace/Containers.h for the
+        ACE_Unbounded_Queue that uses the breadth-first strategy used in
+        be_interface.cpp
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface,be_operation,be_attribute}.cpp: Added code
+        to generate a new "virtual void dispatch" method on the skeleton
+        classes. The dispatch method enables us to access the most derived
+        type when invoking the skeleton for a method. The skeletons
+        instead of taking a CORBA::Object_ptr, now take void*. The
+        skeletons themselves cast this void* to the appropriate POA_*
+        type.
+
+        In addition to the above, for the case of inheritance of
+        interfaces, it is not appropriate to pass a pointer to the most
+        derived class as a void* to the skeleton of a base class and cast
+        that to the POA_* of the base class. So we generate inlined code
+        for skeletons of methods in the most derived class even if those
+        methods were defined in the base classes. These inlined skeletons
+        simply cast the object pointer to the right type and invoke the
+        corresponding skeleton of the base class method.
+
+        be_interface.cpp defines a template method to traverse the entire
+        inheritance graph. This traversal is done using a breadth-first
+        traversal. This traverse method takes a pointer to one of the
+        static helper methods defined on class be_interface. Each helper
+        achieves a different purpose such as generation of extended
+        operation tables, providing comparisons of repositoryIDs of base
+        classes in the _is_a methods of derived classes.
+
+        The client-side class now defines a virtual CORBA::Boolean _is_a
+        method. This uses local knowledge of repository ids thereby
+        preventing the expensive remote call in most cases. All changes
+        made in be_interface.cpp
+
+        * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Changed the signature of TAO_Skeleton so that
+        it uses void*obj and a void *context.
+
+        * TAO/tao/object.h: Added a virtual dispatch method as explained
+        above.
+
+        * TAO/tao/orb.h: Redefinition of TAO_Skeleton removed.
+
+        * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: Changed the demultiplexing code to reflect the
+        change made with the dispatch method. The poa on finding the right
+        object corresponding to the key, now invokes the dispatch method
+        on that object which by dynamic binding invokes the dispatch
+        method of the POA_* class.
+
+Tue Dec 02 15:29:41 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tao/{connect,orb_core}.h: Moved Win32 specific template
+          specialization declaration from connect.h to orb_core.h because
+          the definition had moved to orb_core.i.
+
+        * tao/object.cpp: Removed conditional directives around
+          DEFINE_GUID for IID_IUnknown.  This is now defined for Win32
+          also.
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed macro definition __IIOP_BUILD.  It was not
+          used anywhere.
+
+Tue Dec  2 10:25:47 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/corba.h:
+          Fixed some problems with the ACE_RETHROW macros.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp:
+          Added a high resolution timer facility, to measure the delays in
+          the Event Channel and in its client.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
+          Changed the time_ field of Event to a double. It should be an
+          structure or a long long, but double is big enough to store
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp:

+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h:
+          Regenerated the files using the newest IDL compiler; still some
+          hand crafting due to inherited classes.
+
+Tue Dec  2 03:12:50 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Check for errors when
+        resolving using the "NameService" environment variable.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (NS_NamingContext):
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.h (NS_NamingContext):
+        - Added constructor that takes a key to initialize the object,
+        instead of using the default name generation.
+        - Enabled some exceptions that are already supported.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (main): Create first naming
+        context with key "NamingContext".  And minor changes.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/Makefile:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/README:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h:
+        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp: Ported the IDL cubit
+        example to CORBAplus.  Currently, the calls using DII are not
+        ported, so only the "cube average" and the "cube_union_stub" stats
+        are printed.
+
+Mon Dec  1 16:51:08 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/except.{h,cpp}: Changed semantics of CORBA::Exception so
+        that the mere creation of them does not take a reference.
+        Instead, the user of the exception is expected to call AddRef().
+        CORBA::Environment has been modified (and even documented!) to
+        reflect that as well.
+
+Sun Nov 30 17:08:56 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
+          Added missed parameter in do_call() for
+          RtecScheduler::Scheduler::set().
+
+Sat Nov 29 13:34:58 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/stub.i (STUB_Object):
+          No need to release type_id, since it is a String_var now. Thanks
+          to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for pointing this out.
+
+        * giop.cpp:
+          If things go wrong TAO_GIOP::send_request will close the
+          handler and set it to zero, but only a temporary was
+          affected, I decided to set the original value to zero also;
+          based on the return value.
+
+Wed Nov 26 23:24:57 1997    <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.41, released Wed Nov 26 23:24:57 1997.
+
+Wed Nov 26 16:40:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed release calls to use
+        the CORBA standard version rather than the non-standard TAO
+        Release() method.  Also moved the client's parse_args() AFTER the
+        ORB_init() so that -ORB parameters were parsed correctly.
+
+        * tao/params.*: Added storage for send and receive socket buffer
+        size to be used for all newly created sockets.  These sizes are
+        initialized to ACE_DEFAULT_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZ, and can be changed
+        by the user by using -ORBsndsock and -ORBrcvsock.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.h: Added documentation.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.i: Changed system-specific conditional compilation
+        to use the more general ACE_LACKS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Added code to make -ORBsndsock and -ORBrcvsock
+        options actually work.  Added -ORBpreconnect option to implement
+        pre-cached connections.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Removed the old static inline version of
+        start_message().  Also changed to use send_n() to guarantee
+        correct blocking nature on Win32 with the WFMO Reactor.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Changed set_option() calls to use the socket
+        buffer sizes stored in the TAO_ORB_Parameters instance.  Also
+        added a correct environment-clearing call before initializing a
+        request.
+
+        * tao/client_factory.h: Removed extraneous code.
+
+        * tao/{connect,any,giop,iiopobj,marshal,nvlist,objtable,optable,
+               orb_core,poa,principa,stub,svrrqst,typecode}.h:
+        Addressed or assigned some '@@' comments.
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Added information regarding new
+        options, known bugs, etc.
+
+        * docs/Options.html: Added documentation for new -ORBpreconnect
+        option.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/Makefile: Added an explicit PIC=-fPIC for when g++ is
+        being used as the compiler.  This fixes the linker complaints.
+
+Sat Dec 20 14:57:30 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * All MSVC 5.0 project files: Removed unnecessary library
+          inclusions.  Most of them are not necessary.
+
+Tue Nov 25 20:49:24 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

+        * tao/orbobj.cpp:
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
+        * tao/params.h:
+        * tao/params.cpp:
+          Removed the parameters to specify the event service and schedule
+          service IOR, the naming service is working now so it can be
+          used. And the support in "resolve_initial_references".
+
+        * tao/corbacom.i:
+        * tao/decode.cpp:
+          Reverted the previous change, but this time added proper
+          comments: the spec says that a Naming_var taking a <char*> is
+          *not* supposed to copy it. Hence the ObjRef decoder cannot
+          release the string it just read.
+
+Mon Nov 24 20:40:47 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/corbacom.i:
+          Fixed string allocation problem for String_var(char*): if it
+          does not copy the string we run into problems with the
+          demarshalling code.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp:

+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h:
+          Removed the unused forward_event parameter in the ConsumerQoS.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i:
+          Hand crafted the T_out constructors to take a "const T_out&"
+          instead of just "T_out&".
+
+Sat Nov 22 18:21:10 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h, be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a
+        number of states to handle attributes
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_attribute,be_state_attribute}.cpp: Code added to
+        handle attributes. This code is a mix of code that is used to
+        handle operations as well as arguments because for attributes we
+        have 2 methods, one to set the value and one which returns the
+        value. For a readonly attribute, there is only the get method.
+
+        A special note: Due to the large switch statement, I had to use
+        -fPIC for g++. We are working on abstracting all the commin
+        functionality once we have the basic IDL compiler working.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Operation table now also includes
+        methods to set and get the attributes if they are present. In
+        addition, the variable name for the operation tables is now the
+        full flattened name to avoid conflicts.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: In the length method, the index of
+        lookp variable "i" is changed from "int" to CORBA::ULong as g++
+        was issuing a warning.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp, be_state_argument,cpp: Proper handling
+        of in, inout, and out strings that are either anonymous or are
+        typedefed.
+
+Fri Nov 21 13:22:39 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+

+
+Thu Nov 20 10:31:24 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Made sure this is defined
+        properly for Chorus.  Thanks to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi>
+        for submitting these!
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Added some changes for Chorus.  Thanks
+        to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for submitting these!
+
+        * tao/object.cpp (_is_a): Explicitly specify which conversion
+        operator to use when comparing type_id to 0.

+Thu Nov 20 00:10:52 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.h :
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (Logger_Client): Fixed a bug
+        dealing with using "_bind" when the naming service is not
+        available.
+
+Thu Nov 20 00:06:03 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.39, released Thu Nov 20 00:06:03 1997.
+
+Thu Nov 20 00:01:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Makefile: Reordered the files so they are built in
+        alphabetic order (within each grouping of targets).  This makes it
+        easier to see how the compilation process is doing ;-).
+
+Wed Nov 19 22:59:18 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Minor change to output
+        debug statement.
+
+Wed Nov 19 23:01:46 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Fixed the problem with
+        strings as return values.  Thanks to Mark L Boriack
+        <mark@vtcibm4a> for reporting this.
+
+Wed Nov 19 20:48:01 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: Commented out some unreachable
+          code at the bottom of main.
+
+Wed Nov 19 19:04:53 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp (decode): Added a cast so that compiler would
+        know which operator to call.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (handle_input): Change port
+        number received to host byte order.  Minor changes.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Send port number in
+        network byte order.
+
+Wed Nov 19 17:45:52 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Put in proper release of
+        resources after _narrow operation.
+
+        * tao/stub.h: Used CORBA::String_var as the underlying type for
+        'type_id' in STUB_Object.  In the long run this may be a bad idea
+        for performance considerations, but we may be able to improve that
+        by improving the implementation of String_var.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Removed unreachable ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN.
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp: Made allocation and free semantics of
+        'type_hint' consistent with its type of CORBA::String.
+
+Wed Nov 19 17:33:42 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Task_Client.cpp: Fixed error_count.. Thanks to James Hu.
+
+Wed Nov 19 17:20:45 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Removed an unreachable return
+          statement.  There was already a return above it.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp: Added casts to comparisons of
+          char variables to 0, since chars are unsigned by default in
+          SGI.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: Removed a
+          couple of unreachable return statements.  There are still
+          unreachable statements remaining.  Need help with them.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+          Meaningless type qualifier (const ...) removed.
+
+          Some functions were returning `retval' before it was set.  I had
+          these functions return a passed in paramenter instead.
+
+Wed Nov 19 13:50:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+

+
+Wed Nov 19 13:11:53 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp (dump_schedule): changed loop
+          index from int to u_int to avoid signed/unsigned comparison.
+          (use_runtime): return 0.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp (debug): changed loop
+          index from int to u_int to avoid signed/unsigned comparison.
+
+Wed Nov 19 12:22:50 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Reverted some of the
+        minor changes below, specifically the use of ACE_ERROR_RETURN
+        rather than ACE_ERROR/return.  ACE_ERROR_RETURN cannot be used
+        as-is because the 2nd parameter is used as an 'int' to specify the
+        operational status, and the return value of this function is NOT
+        an int.  Also had to add a missing semi-colon which caused none of
+        the code to compile.
+
+Wed Nov 19 12:07:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

+          The type declared for the rt_info array was wrong.
+

+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: Changed code to add loop

+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile:
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/ior_multicast.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/ior_multicast.h: Removed unneeded
+        ior_multicast.* source files from the logger example.  It now uses
+        the resolve_initial_references() to use the naming service for its
+        advertisement.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile (realclean): Updated with realclean & clean
+        rules to delete CosNamingS.* and CosNamingC.*
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated status of the naming
+        service to working implementation.

+        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.i:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h: Removed these files from the
+        repository, since the IDL compiler generates these correctly.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (list): Remove
+        warning for unused variable.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.h: Constructor of event handler
+        for multicast doesn't need reply port anymore.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (handle_input): Now receives
+        the port number in the multicast request.  Suggested by Doug
+        Schmidt.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): changed return value
+        variable to be signed.  Added code to send the port number in the
+        multicast resolution mechanism as a CORBA::Short.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/NS_CosNaming.cpp (NS_ExtId):
+        Reordered initializers in the constructor.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (run): Added a loop around
+        all cube calls and added calls/sec stats for them.
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Changed order of inclusion of marshal.i, due to
+        warnings of the declaration of the inline function
+        make_marshal_object().
+
+        * tao/orbobj.i: reorder the declaration of inline
+        CORBA_OBJ::Add_Ref(), to remove a warning.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main):
+        removed return statement that was causing a warning.

+
+Tue Nov 18 18:34:16 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/COOL/client.cpp: ORB_init is now called in
+        Task_Client.cpp instead of the main program, to insure that its
+        called in the right thread.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/COOL/Task_Client.{h,cpp}: Used the COOL_Activity to
+        create threads instead of ACE_Task.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/COOL/server.cpp: Used the createActivity stuff to
+        create threads.  The server now creates two servants, one for high
+        and the other for low priority clients.
+
+Tue Nov 18 17:44:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+

+
+Tue Nov 18 17:33:20 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
+          Changed several operations to "oneway" to avoid dead-locks in
+          the Event Channel tests.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.h:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp:
+          This class is a servant, event though it is only used
+          collocated, so it must inherit from the POA class.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
+          Care must be exercised to create the Runtime_Scheduler instance
+          only once the ORB is up and running.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:

+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h:
+          Regenerated all the stubs and skeletons using the latest IDL
+          compiler, but still some hand crafting is required, namely for
+          operations in base classes.
+
+Tue Nov 18 14:27:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/cdr.cpp (CDR): Changed TAO_PURIFY to ACE_PURIFY.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/serdatever/svr.cpp: Added code to put use a
+        kinder, gentler high priority value on VxWorks.  This makes it
+        easier for the machine to remain running. :-\
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Added CVS id keyword.
+
+        * tao/{corba.h,tao_internals.h,tao_internals.cpp}: Backed out
+        tao_internals.h, which is not intended to be publicly visible.
+        corba.h should contain only headers/inlines for things which
+        should be externally visible.
+
+Tue Nov 18 04:00:46 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/poa.cpp:
+          An operation lookup on the dispatching code will cause an error
+          message and the CORBA::BAD_OPERATION exception to be raised.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
+          Somehow the options for setting the Event Service and the
+          Scheduling Service IOR were lost. Eventually they must be
+          removed, but we are still testing the Naming Service.
+
+Tue Nov 18 02:17:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+

+Tue Nov 18 02:03:22 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp: This test example now uses the
+        naming service in the server and client.  Also changed the code to
+        have a default use in case the naming service is not available.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Fixed a bug, dealing with
+        closing the endpoint of communication for the response of the
+        multicast mechanism.
+
+Tue Nov 18 01:37:42 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation.cpp,be_state_operation}.cpp: We now
+        properly handle the declaration and assigning to the return value.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Removed a spurious ()
+        appearing after a function call.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_structure,be_union}.cpp: Carlos had removed the
+        if !imported check in the member counting function, but it had
+        crept in again, maybe due to me. So this is fixed again.
+
+        * test/Cubit/TAO/IDL/svr.cpp: Removed the hack which was
+        separating command line arguments starting with O. We leave this
+        task to the newly added Arg_Shifter.
+
+        * tao.orbobj.cpp: In ORB_init, the call to
+        TAO_ORb_Core_instance->init needed a char ** argv and we were
+        passing a char * const* argv. So we cast this. g++ was giving this
+        error.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h, TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp:
+        Added 5 new states for code generation. All of these for
+        operations and arguments.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp: Made all methods uniform so that the
+        state will be set by the corresponding be_operation method. Thus
+        the be_operation method will vary the state but still invoke the
+        same be_argument method.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp, be_structure.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_field.cpp,
+        be_sequence.cpp: Some reformatting, removed unused variables.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Changes include adding ACE_ERROR_RETURN
+        with file name, line number capability. In addition, we were not
+        testing for return status of the various gen methods called.
+
+        * Most important changes in these files:
+
+        TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation,be_state_argument,be_state_operation}.cpp:
+
+        Large scale changes that include a uniform way to invoke methods
+        of the be_argument class from the be_operation methods. Added the
+        5 new states. Added proper handling of _out parameters in stubs
+        and skeletons.
+
+Mon Nov 17 20:05:40 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Cleaned up lots of places
+        where the allocated stuff wasn't being deallocated.
+
+        * tao/request.cpp: Insured that the CTOR adds a reference for the
+        dynamically-allocated NamedValue.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Freed the faked service configurator argv.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.h: Removed anachronistic comments.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: Changed allocation of IIOP::Profile.host to use
+        new/delete rather than strdup/free b/c the decoder, which is
+        generic, must use new to allocate the space.  Thus, the strdup had
+        to go.  Purify now happier.
+

+Mon Nov 17 20:05:16 1997  Seth Benjamin Widoff  <sbw1@waltz.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * arg_shifter.cpp:
+        fixed a bug where in new, gcc used the address of an integer
+        reference rather than its value. weird.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
+          Modified the init routine to "consume" command line arguments it
+          recognizes by placing them in the rear of argv, and adjusting
+          argc. It uses the Arg_Shifter class to accomplish this.
+
+        * tao/arg_shifter.h:
+        * tao/arg_shifter.cpp:
+          The Arg_Shifter class is an iterator that, as it iterates over
+          argv, places consumed arguments at the end of the vector,
+          ignored ones in their original order at the beginning of the
+          vector, and adjusts argc to hide the consumed arguments.
+
+Mon Nov 17 18:40:49 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.i:
+          Some data was not initialized when used from a thread different
+          than the one doing ORB_init (even though we choose a global ORB
+          in the svc.conf file). Chris found a fix for this. The affected
+          methods are reactor(), thr_mgr(), connector() and acceptor().
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
+          length was not working if the value was <= than the maximum.

+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
+          Fixed the length() problem by hand, even though the new IDL
+          compiler should do it right.

+Mon Nov 17 11:52:54 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (server_header),
+          TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp (be_change_idl_file_extension):
+          Updated several methods to ensure const correctness for the
+          updated ACE_OS::str*() methods.  Thanks to David Levine for
+          reporting this.

+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp:
+          TypeCode generation was failing for imported members.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp:
+          Member count must include all members, imported or not.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
+          Added missing decr_indent() in the typecode generation which was
+          making the generated code completely unreadable.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:

+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
+          New version of the generated files, this last version is almost
+          making in it, but still needs hand crafting.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
+          Fixed buggy TypeCode lenght computation, it was only taking into
+          account the tc_encap_len() for the base type but it should use
+          the full tc_size().
+
+        * tao/encode.cpp:
+          Object references *must* be passed a pointer to Object_ptr in

+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp:
+          Fixed generated code for Object references as return values. It
+          allocates the Object_ptr in the heap, stores the result there
+          and creates an Any for it.
+
+Sun Nov 16 23:30:26 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp (main):
+        Changed the code to use the resolve_initial_references ()
+        interface to get the object refrence to the naming service.
+
+        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (main): Now uses the
+        resolve_initial_references() to get the naming service object
+        reference, to get the logger factory object reference.
+
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (main):
+        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.h:
+        Added code to respond to multicast requests for the IOR.

+
+        * TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.mak:
+        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added new files (be_state_*.cpp) into
+          project file.
+
+Sun Nov 16 12:56:24 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: The _is_a_skel method's signature
+        had an Object_ptr obj parameter which was unused. Instead of
+        generating the ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj) line of code, we use /* obj */
+        in the signature.
+

+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+          Fixed output for structs and union test.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp:
+          If the user provides no key for an object we generate one, based
+          on the object address.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
+          The length() method should get the maximum if reallocation
+          occurs.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp:
+        * tao/orbobj.h:
+        * tao/params.cpp:
+        * tao/params.h:
+          Added new options to the ORB (-ORBeventserviceior,
+          -ORBscheduleserviceior), this should go away once the Naming
+          Service works properly, but are needed now to locate this
+          services.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile:
+          Added several small classes that help when using the Scheduling
+          and/or the Event Service.
+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.h:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.i:
+          Encapsulate the construction and configuration of the Scheduling

+        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.h:

+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp:
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.h:

+          Removed spurious call to rm.
+

+
+Sat Nov 15 21:38:48 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
+          The generated length() method will reallocate the sequences
+          now.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp:
+          It was initializing nested constants in the client header file,
+          Andy told me how to fix it.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp:
+          Fixed typo in generated code:
+          s/_tao_enviroment/_tao_environment/
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_field.cpp:
+          Only generate the inline members of the field type if the type
+          is not imported.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp:
+          Removed old code to support plain fork (without ACE).
+          Also removed temporary files *unless* we are on Win32, were
+          removing the file and keeping it open fails.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h:
+        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp:
+          Added routines to obtain the generated names of any IDL file,
+          not only the one we are processing.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp:
+          The compiler now generate all the required include directives
+          when the IDL file contains some.
+
+        * tao/params.cpp:
+          Initialize name_service_port_ to zero in the constructor.
+
+Sat Nov 15 21:20:01 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: The typecode info was getting
+        generated in a wrong file because of setting the worng file to
+        generate it in.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Some extra indentation was getting
+        generated for typecodes. This is fixed.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: For parameters of type
+        ObjRefs, we were not passing the address of the object_ptr to the
+        Any constructor. This would have caused seg faults when
+        decoding. This is now fixed.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be: Split be_state.cpp into a number of files based on
+        the IDL types, e.g., be_state_struct.cpp, be_state_union.cpp, ...
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: Name creation now uses a uniform
+        strategy rather than typedefed sequences assuming the name of the
+        typedef and anonymous sequences getting a generated name. This was
+        required to eliminate a number of multiple declarations errors.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_union.cpp: Since C++ does not allow
+        instances of classes to appear inside a union declaration, the
+        private data members for data members of type objref, strings,
+        sequences, and anys must be pointers. This changes code in the
+        accessor methods defined in the generated *.i files for the union.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: There were some instances of the
+        incorrectly spelled _tao_enviroment remaining which have been
+        corrected.
+
+        * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,i,cpp}: Added these 3 files that define
+        the self managed data type similar to a String_var. These self
+        managed data types are required for struct/union members that are
+        strings or obj references, as well as for element types of
+        sequences.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Added code to generate the typecode
+        structure for typedefs. These use the tk_alias kind field.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union,be_state}.cpp: Improvements to union with
+        string members. However, this is still incomplete and will be
+        done by the next couple of commits.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: Removed the ACE_DEBUG
+        stmt for printing object keys.
+
+Sat Nov 15 18:03:39 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (make_cubit): We don't
+          need to free up the object key since it's no longer allocated
+          dynamically.
+
+        * tao/object: Changed the _get_name() method to return const char
+          * to be consistent with the iiopobj change below.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj: Fixed _get_name() so that it doesn't allocate
+          memory by having it return const char * and just return the
+          pointer.  This should fix some subtle problems.
+
+Sat Nov 15 12:19:55 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Changed two loop counters from type
+          int to type size_t.
+
+Sat Nov 15 01:33:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.30, released Sat Nov 15 01:33:08 1997.
+
+Fri Nov 14 19:45:01 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp :
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h :
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp :
+        - Fixed the difference in latency problem from DII and IDL.
+        - Changed the DII_Cubit client interface to be similar to IDL, now
+        you can specify hostname and port number, instead of the IOR.
+
+Fri Nov 14 17:48:14 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

+          No need to include rules.bin.GNU.
+
+Fri Nov 14 17:08:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Make sure that host is set to 0 in all the
+          constructors.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (Profile): Modified the code to consistently
+          store a NUL at the end of each object key string.

+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecScheduler.idl:
+          The Real Time Scheduling Service. This module declares the QoS
+          structures (RT_Info) and the interface for the global scheduler.
+

+
+        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Service_Constants.h:
+          The Event Service implementation and the Scheduling Service

+Fri Nov 14 13:02:52 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp: TAO_Marshal_Objref::decode line 615 which tried
+        to set the underlying object_addr was invoking an incorrect inline
+        function because of lack of passing an argument to the object_addr
+        () method. Specifically, due to the lask of argment, the
+        "retrieve" method was getting called whereas we wanted the "set"
+        method. All we do is pass a 0 (NUL) argument. This suffices
+        because we have already decoded the host and port number. So all
+        information is with us to set the server address.
+
+Fri Nov 14 00:29:09 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/lex.yy.cpp: set RCS -ko option so that the Id keyword
+          won't get expanded on checkout.  That was causing CVS to think
+          that a merge was needed.
+
+Thu Nov 13 19:11:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp (start): Updated the code to use the new
+          object_addr() style.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj: Added many fixes to the Profile code to fix nasty
+          bugs.  Also, renamed {get|set}_object_addr() to simply
+          object_addr(), which is the correct style.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.h: Replaced the use of "localhost" with
+           ACE_DEFAULT_SERVER_HOST.  This is necessary to support broken
+           platforms like MVS that don't support "localhost"...
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (parse_args): Assume for
+          the moment that any arguments starting with `-O' are `-ORB' or
+          `-OA'.  This should be fixed by having the ORB_init() and
+          POA_init() methods consume their argv/argc's.
+
+Thu Nov 13 16:18:32 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

+
+        * tao/*.h:  Replaced ACE_Svc_Export with TAO_Export.  Added

+
+Thu Nov 13 01:47:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (IIOP_Object): Removed the duplicate CTORs that
+        I'd accidentally included here during the prior merge/commit
+        phase.
+
+Wed Nov 12 23:59:29 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>
+
+        * TAO/TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Changed to generate multithreaded codes

+
+Wed Nov 12 18:59:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iioporb.cpp: Added call to set object address in Profile.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Corrected code in the copy CTOR where the host
+        was being copied over the old host.  This could prove bad if the
+        amount of space allocated previously was too small for the
+        hostname we're copying in.  Ideally we'd use something smarter
+        than this, but hopefully (if you read the comment below) this will
+        go away soon.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.*: Added an ACE_INET_Addr to IIOP::Profile so that
+        we only need to do a gethostbyname() once.  After that we can used
+        the cached information.  I'd really like to remove the host/port
+        as explicit public data members, but for now we take one step at a
+        time.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Use the IIOP::Profile object address when making a
+        connection.
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp: Added code to set the object address in the
+        Profile when an object ref is decoded.
+
+        * tao/debug.h: Removed old questions in comments.
+
+        * tao/connect.h: Added some documentation.
+
+Wed Nov 12 17:41:02 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: I had forgotten to update the return type of
+        _get_name in iiopobj.cpp to "char *" instead of "const char *".
+
+Wed Nov 12 14:28:48 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_union.cpp: Fixed a problem where the front end
+        would not give any error if there were duplicate case labels. This
+        was happening since an overloaded == operator taking an
+        AST_Expression* was not getting called. Instead a simple
+        comparison of addresses was taking place. We now use the "compare"
+        method defined on the AST_Expression class to fix this problem.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Removed some code under #if 0. The
+        noteworthy change, however, has to do with code that gets
+        generated for the "_is_a_skel". Some compilers were issuing a
+        warning saying "unused argument obj". Since we cannot change the
+        signature of the generated "_is_a_skel", we use the trick of
+        generatung ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj); in the code. Some other
+        formatting changes made.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Some very minor changes so that the
+        generated code is properly indented.
+
+        * tao/{iiopobj,object,stub}.h, iiopobj.cpp: Changed the return
+        type of _get_name to return a heap-allocated "char *". In the
+        earlier case we were erroneously returning a pointer to local
+        array. This was a change I made a couple of days back to deal with
+        the fact that object keys are octet arrays and are not null
+        terminated. Now we take the object key and make a NULL terminated
+        copy in a heap allocated string. It is the caller's responsibility
+        to free this.
+
+        * tao/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: Used string_free to
+        free the string returned by _get_name.
+
+        * tao/tests/Thruput/client.cpp: _narrow now uses the additional
+        env parameter.
+
+Wed Nov 12 09:22:47 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (open_services): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs
+          for argc and argv if TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: disabled clean and realclean targets on VxWorks,
+          so that they don't remove tao_idl from the host build tree.
+
+Tue Nov 11 23:50:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.29, released Tue Nov 11 23:50:06 1997.
+
+Tue Nov 11 20:45:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Replaced NULL with 0.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Fixed the macro for TAO_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION so
+          compilers don't whine about extra semi-colons.
+
+        * tao/iioporb.cpp (iiop_string_to_object): Added a cast of (char
+          *) 0 to disambiguate one of the methods.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Moved the constructors and destructors of
+          IIOP_Object from the *.i file to the *.cpp file and made them
+          non-inline.
+
+Tue Nov 11 18:19:16 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.{h,cpp}: Added two new constructors one of which is
+        useful for the _bind call generated by the IDL compiler. This
+        constructor takes the host name, port number, and key value
+        thereby avoiding the costly string2object call inside the _bind
+        method. The second constructor is used to reduce the amount of
+        code that gets generated to set a IIOP_Object in the constructor
+        of the skeleton class.
+
+        Additionally, these constructors use the REENTRANT get_host_name
+        method of the INET_Addr class to retrieve the host name.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.h,stub.h: Modified the signature of _get_name to
+        return a const char*. So users will have to copy this value.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: The method _get_name uses an internal character
+        array in which the object key is copied. This is necessary so that
+        we can NULL terminate the opaque key and return it to the user.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h,cdr.h: Commented (and will eventually remove) the
+        defintion of MY_BYTE_SEX from cdr.h. Instead, we now use the macro
+        TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER which gets defined in orbconf.h. The files
+        affected due to this renaming are:
+
+        tao/{iioporb.cpp, giop.cpp, except.cpp, cdr.cpp, encode.cpp,
+        interp.cpp, tc_const.cpp}
+
+        The following files in the IDL compiler source were affected since
+        they had to generate TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER instead of MY_BYTE_SEX.
+        TAO_IDL/be/{be_array,be_enum,be_interface,be_sequence,be_structure,
+                be_union}.cpp
+
+        * tao/{typecode,decode}.cpp: some reformatting, indentation.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: code generated for _bind uses the
+        newly added constructor to class IIOP_Object.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface.be_state}.cpp: Code generated for
+        _narrow now takes an additional CORBA::Environment parameter.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: cubit_i.cpp - in the method
+        make_cubit, we make a copy of the string returned by _get_name and
+        then free that memory.
+
+        clnt.cpp: The tests for unions have been uncommented. The reason
+        they were not working and resulting in seg fault was that methods
+        of the cubit interface were being invoked on the factory object.
+
+Tue Nov 11 10:07:04 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/Makefile: added missing before (VAR)
+          in VBIN definition.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: added __i386 to TAO_WORDS_BIGENDIAN check,
+          because that's what g++/VxWorks uses.  Also added __alpha
+          to little endian CPUs.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.i: fixed preprocessor test for using the
+          ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i specialization.
+
+Tue Nov 11 04:22:44 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Reformatted the
+          multicast Name Service locator just a bit.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Started putting a more sane way of automatically
+          determining the size of various datatypes into TAO.

+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): changed macro for default
+        multicast port.
+        - Added support for multicast mechanism to resolve the name
+        service.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Added some definitions for TAO's default
+        multicast and reply port, and the default timeout value.
+
+Tue Nov 11 00:00:25 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

+
+        * tao/interp.cpp (declare_entry): Moved TAO_ALIGNMENT_MAGIC_NUMBER
+          to orbconf.h instead of burying it in interp.cpp.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Rather than trying to guess what the size of

+
+Mon Nov 10 19:26:03 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_INT): FreeBSD and NetBSD have 4 byte
+          ints. Thanks to Nanbor for pointing this out.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added template instantiation for ACE_Atomic_Op.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: NetBSD has a long double of size 12, as does
+          FreeBSD. Fixed SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE to fix this.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main): Removed cerr's
+          and replaced them with ACE_ERROR_RETURN's and the like.
+
+Mon Nov 10 01:25:19 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>
+
+        * tao/giop.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to classes

+          of them may not be necessary.

+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: *
+        tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h: Added clnt.h and restructured
+        the code so it is similar to the IDL_Cubit example.  It doesn't,
+        however, have the same options because the DII example uses an ior
+        as input.

+        * tao/svrrqst: Removed the #include for svrrqst.i since we don't
+          need any inline functions now.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals: Removed the #include for tao_internals.i
+          since we don't need any inline functions now.
+
+        * tao/varout.h: Cleaned up the programming style.
+
+        * tao: Continued to replace all fields with names _foo to foo_.
+
+        * tao/iioporb.cpp: Move the hex routines into ACE since they are
+          more general.
+
+        * tao/iioporb.cpp: Removed the inclusion of iioporb.i since it is
+          already included in corba.h.
+
+        * tao: Replaced all uses of ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX
+          since this is portable...
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Removed the inclusion of iiopobj.i since it is
+          already included in corba.h.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Moved several large inlined methods into the *.cpp
+          file.
+
+        * tao/giop: Removed the enormous (and unused) incoming_message()
+          method.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Removed the inclusion of giop.i since that is
+          handled in corba.h.
+
+        * tao: Removed the factories.i and factories.cpp files since they
+          don't seem to be used by anything.
+
+        * tao/{corbacom,except}.*: Changed SYSEX to the more politically
+          correct TAO_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION.
+
+        * tao: Replaced all uses of wslen() and wscpy() with the
+          corresponding ACE_OS wide string functions.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Removed all the HAVE_WIDEC_H stuff.  This should
+          be handed by ACE.
+
+        * tao/connect.i: Removed the template instantiations since they
+          were commented out and didn't appear to be used.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: connect.i was already being included in corba.h,
+          so don't include it again.
+
+        * tao/client_factory.cpp: Moved inlined constructor/destructor
+          from the *.i file into the *.cpp file.
+
+        * tao/cdr.cpp (CDR): Moved a bunch of absurdly long inlined methods
+          from the *.i file into the *.cpp file.
+
+        * tao/any.cpp (CORBA_Any): refcount_ has previously been
+          uninitialized.  I gave it a value of 1.
+
+        * tao/any.cpp (CORBA_Any): Moved the initialization into the
+          base/member section, where it belongs.
+
+        * tao/any.h: Corrected a spelling mistake in an enumeral and
+          upper-cased the minor codes for exceptional returns.  Are these
+          actually used anywhere?
+
+        * tao: Removed all the unnecessary #if 0 ... #endif header files.
+          I don't know why there were still there.
+
+        * tao/except.h: Moved the #ifdef for minor and major into
+          orbconf.h, where they belong.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Removed all the DECLARED_* macros since they
+          no longer made sense once we've got ACE.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Moved the TAO_DEFAULT* macros from ace/OS.h
+          here, which is more where they belong.
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp (TAO_Default_Server_Strategy_Factory):
+
+        * tao/{debug.h,orbconf.h}: Removed the DECLARED_STRERROR macro
+          since ACE handles this.
+
+Sun Nov 09 10:18:06 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: fixed RCS keyword (Id instead of id).
+
+Sat Nov 08 23:23:41 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.25, released Sat Nov 08 23:23:41 1997.
+
+Sat Nov  8 21:27:34 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Removed the code that always binded us
+          to our hostname.  This is unnecessary and makes it hard to use
+          other interfaces on the same host (such as localhost or some ATM
+          interface, etc.).  With this change (and the corresponding
+          changes to ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name()), we can now bind to
+          INADDR_ANY.
+
+        * docs/releasenotes: Added Marina's documentation for the Trader
+          and cleaned up all the other entries to make them consistent.
+
+        * tao: Changed ProfileBody to Profile, TaggedProfile to
+          Tagged_Profile, ProfileSeq to Profile_Sequence, and ProfileId to
+          Profile_ID.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (ProfileBody): For some god knows why reason,
+          the CORBA::String and CORBA::UShort parameters to ProfileBody
+          where being passed as references.  This is silly, so I changed
+          them to non-references.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp (open),
+          tao/poa.cpp (create): Replaced a use of
+          ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name(void) with
+          ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name (char *, size_t), which is
+          reentrant.
+
+        * tao/Makefile: Removed the DCFLAGS, OCFLAGS, and the TAO_ORB_CORE
+          target macros from the Makefile since they were unnecessary.
+          Thanks to Arturo for reporting this.
+
+        * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Fixed a strange format code in
+          print_exception that was causing a seg fault.  What the heck
+          does %#lx mean?  Thanks to Mark L Boriack <mark@vtcibm4a> for
+          reporting this.
+
+Fri Nov 07 21:23:35 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.h:
+        * tao/marshal.h:
+        * tao/corbacom.h:
+          Added ACE_Svc_Export to some classes.
+
+        * tao/any.cpp:
+          Removed delete after DEEP_FREE call, it crashes on NT and it
+          should be unneeded.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp (gen_code):
+          When generating arguments for the server header don't use nested
+          types. The fully qualified type name is needed, even on NT.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp:
+          Added code to generate a default constructor.
+
+Fri Nov 07 17:26:49 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp:  Removed
+          ACE_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE flag.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.cpp (main): Added a
+          return statement to satisfy MSVC.
+
+Fri Nov  7 18:20:46 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/{client,server}/svc.conf: Updated to
+        reflect the proper combination of options to achieve the
+        thread-per-ORB-per-rate concurrency model.
+
+        * docs/components.html: Updated to refer to seminal documentation
+        referred to below.
+
+        * docs/configurations.html: Started some new documentation.  It's
+        got a ways to go right now. :-)
+
+Fri Nov 07 15:42:45 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): check for 0 argv[curarg]
+          before calling strcmp on it.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Makefile: added MUNCHED for
+          VxWorks/g++.
+
+Fri Nov  7 10:30:59 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Updated faked
+        service entries to include new Resource Factory.  This is the
+        fallback for VxWorks.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.h (TAO_Resource_Factory): Added much comments.
+
+Fri Nov 07 02:45:56 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.24, released Fri Nov 07 02:45:56 1997.
+
+Fri Nov  7 01:58:30 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@coyote.wolfpack.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp: Added the (__FreeBSD__) flag to
+          correctly include wait.h file.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Replaced ACE_NETBSD with ACE_HAS_THREADS in
+          template instantiation segment.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Added the (__FreeBSD__) flag to exclude inclusion of
+          widec.h.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (Release): Wrapped ACE_GUARD with ACE_MT macro.
+
+Fri Nov 07 01:46:04 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/(cubitC.cpp, cubit.cpp): Byte order
+          changed from 1 to MY_BYTE_SEX.
+
+Thu Nov  6 23:59:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/params.cpp: Moved all the inlined methods out of the header
+          file and put them in the *.cpp file.  I hope this doesn't cause
+          problems for GCC on VxWorks.
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp: Fixed a mistake with how
+          the long string constant was defined.  The scheme being
+          used wasn't portable.
+
+Thu Nov 06 20:58:52 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Made sure that TAO_Server_Connection_Handler
+          and TAO_Client_Connection_Handler have a zero Reactor pointer.
+          If this is not the case, they will try to deregister from a
+          sometimes non-existent Reactor.
+
+Thu Nov  6 19:06:59 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated status of Naming Service
+        port to TAO.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp (gen_client_header):
+        removed warning for unused variable.
+
+Thu Nov  6 17:07:58 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.i: Added missing #include file.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.i: Change lock used as monitor for service
+        count to use ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance().  This pleases
+        VxWorks (but makes me nauseous).
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.h: Removed static instances of locks to please
+        VxWorks.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Changed lock used for the monitor
+        here to be ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance().  This pleases
+        VxWorks (but makes me nauseous).
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Merged in changes for new Naming
+        Service-related options that got accidentally overwritten last
+        night.
+
+        * docs/Options.html: Added documentation for new Naming
+        Service-related options in.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.h: Added documentation for a few static methods.
+
+        * tao/params.h: Changed LOCAL_INLINE macro to TAO_LOCAL_INLINE to
+        avoid possible collisions with application macros.
+
+Thu Nov  6 14:51:22 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: Renamed libutil to libtao_idl_util. libutil is
+        a system library on NetBSD. Updated TAO_IDL/util/Makefile to be
+        compatible with this.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (server_header): Changed ::toupper to
+        be toupper, since toupper is a macro on some platforms (like
+        netbsd).
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/{drv_preproc.cpp, drv_fork.cpp}: NetBSD has
+        sys/wait.h, instead of wait.h. Added #define to fix it.
+
+Thu Nov  6 01:40:29 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.h: #defined ACE_Thread_Mutex to be
+        ACE_Null_Mutex for NetBSD.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Added NetBSD to the #define around HAVE_WIDEC_H.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp: #defined around some thread-specific template
+        instantiations which are not needed on NetBSD.
+
+        * tao/except.h: Undefined "minor" and "major, since these are
+        defined in NetBSD.
+
+Thu Nov 06 14:47:15 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/params.[hi]: inlined some functions in the class declaration
+          because g++ for VxWorks couldn't deal with them in the .i file.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.*,orbobj.cpp: fixed replacement of orbinit_lock_
+          and service_lock_ with ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance ().
+
+Thu Nov 06 02:17:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.23, released Thu Nov 06 02:17:02 1997.
+
+Wed Nov  5 23:44:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{orbobj,iioporb}.h: Made the first parameter to
+          string_to_object() a const CORBA::String rather than just a
+          CORBA::String.
+
+        * tao/params (addr): Fixed a bug where we should have been using
+          const ACE_INET_Addr & rather than just ACE_INET_Addr &.
+
+        * tao/orbobj: Began adding the hooks for a multicast-based
+          implementation of resolve_initial_references().
+
+        * tao/params: Added a new set/get interface to optionally set/get
+          the IOR of the configured Naming Service.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Added a -ORBnameservice command-line
+          option.  If this option is given, it indicates the IOR where the
+          Naming Service resides.
+
+        * tao/params: Changed the signature of TAO_ORB_Parameters::addr()
+          to return a const ACE_INET_Addr & rather than an ACE_INET_Addr.
+
+        * tao/params: Added new get/set name_service_port() methods to
+          get/set the name service multicast port.
+
+Wed Nov  5 22:38:08 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp (main):
+        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp (main): Fixed missing declarations

+
+        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.cpp (ttcp_sequence_i):
+        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.h (class ttcp_sequence_i): Change to
+        use POA.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/README (server): Changed comment on
+        how to start the server to indicate the use of "-d" to see the
+        IOR.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (Cubit_Client): Reordered
+        member initializers to match declaration order
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Fixed comparison of
+        ">=" on an unsigned variable to compare only ">".
+
+Wed Nov 05 20:35:52 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (fini): Close down the connector. Other
+        ORB_Core specific objects also need to be cleaned up (and
+        deleted).
+
+        * tests: Made sure that the orb pointer returned by ORB::init() is
+        correctly freed up.  Following files were updated:

+
+        files be_array.cpp, be_interface.cpp, be_sequence.cpp,
+        be_structure.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_enum.cpp - Added MY_BYTE_SEX to

+
+        be_operation.cpp, be_argument.cpp, be_state.cpp, be_codegen.* -
+        Modified to deal with _out parameters that are passed to the
+        actual upcalls in the server-side skeleton.
+
+        Some minor changes involving removing commented-out code in the
+        constructors of some classes.
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test: Some modifications. Still needs more work
+        get it to run.
+
+Wed Nov 05 19:26:44 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

+
+Wed Nov 05 13:39:19 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: more hacks to not build the IDL compiler
+          on VxWorks.
+
+Wed Nov 05 12:53:53 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tao/interp.cpp:
+
+          - Win32 does not use "fixed" byte alignment.  Fixed the
+            setup_entry macro to take this into account.
+
+          - (declare_entry) Seperated the declaration of the structs from
+            their use.  This is necessary for the VC++4.2 compiler.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Commented out debug
+          message, since obj is not declared.

+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/: Fixed the server code to use the new
+        IDL compiler generated code.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: Changed the
+        order of the initializers to remove g++ warnings, and added some
+        ACE_UNUSED_ARGs. Also removed the hand-crafted stubs, to make way
+        for the idl-compiler generated files.

+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main):
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (run): Changed the format of the
+        output to be more readable.  Also, fixed resolution of the time for
+        the cube_struct_dii() call.
+
+Tue Nov  4 21:12:48 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/except.h: Removed print_exception().  It seems unnecessary
+        and pollutes the global namespace.
+
+Tue Nov  4 16:58:12 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * {tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit,tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit,
+        tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit,tests/Demux_Test,
+        tests/Thruput_test}/Makefile: Added an explicit definition for
+        VBIN so that VxWorks can build properly.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.*: Modified TAO_Resource_Factory so that it divides
+        the information that it tracks between pre-allocated resources and
+        resources which are allocated by the application.  Specifically,
+        the orb and root poa pointers are in here (though it's possible
+        that when we move to a full POA implementation that the root poa
+        can be pre-allocated as well).  These pointers are initialized to
+        zero and are given values by the TAO_ORB_Core instance writing
+        through back to the TAO_Resource_Factory instance.
+
+        Also, this implementation reduced the number of singletons/TSS
+        singletons utilized by the resource factory.  The initial
+        "get-it-working" cut used a singleton/tss singleton pair for every
+        resource, which was quite wasteful in environments such as NT that
+        don't have many TSS slots available.  Perhaps if we get even more
+        clever this can be reduced even further.
+
+        * tao/except.*: Added print_exception() function for backwards
+        compatibility.  It simply calls
+        CORBA::Environment::print_exception().
+
+Tue Nov 04 10:45:07 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: Enclosed a #pragma ident with #if !defined
+          ACE_WIN32.  Compilers other than SunCC might also need this.
+
+Tue Nov  4 13:47:26 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit: Modified the Makefiles in the
+        client and server directory so that they use the TAO IDL
+        compiler. Also added the clean and realclean targets. Updated the
+        server side cubit.idl because it was different from what the
+        client was using.
+
+        * TAO_IDL compiler: Fixed the following problems
+
+        (1) Removed the extra call to Release in the generated _narrow
+        method  in be_interface.cpp
+
+        (2) Used ACE_CORBA_1 (Object) instead of CORBA::Object in the
+        class declaration for interfaces - in be_interface.cpp
+
+        (3) be_interface_fwd.cpp - var_impl had to be updated to generate
+        code that uses the ptr () method in the calls to _duplicate
+
+        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: Fixed some outstanding issues and
+        made sure that it works. Updated the README file.
+
+Tue Nov 04 09:48:51 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.i: disabled the ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i ()
+          template specialization on g++/VxWorks because g++
+          cygnus-2.7.2-960126 can't handle it.
+
+        * tao/except.h (line 118): removed backslash at end of comment line.
+          Some compilers complain about that.
+
+        * tao/except.cpp (CORBA_SystemException): reordered initializers to

+Tue Nov 04 06:26:14 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp:
+          It still generated fully qualified names for some sequences,

+
+        * TAO_IDL Compiler: Files be_sequence.cpp, be_typedef.cpp,
+        be_state.cpp: Lots of improvements to get sequences to

+        limited. But for all other cases, this seems to be working fine.
+
+        There were some unnecessary lines of code in be_state.cpp that

+Mon Nov 03 18:43:37 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp:
+          "Fixed" skeleton generation code. Sometimes the formal parameter
+          names for the skeleton can clash with the user defined names for
+          the (IDL) method parameter names.
+          To minimize the chances of such a problem I choose very long
+          parameter names for the skeleton (things like <_tao_enviroment>
+          instead of just <env>), but the right solution is to ignore the
+          user defined parameter names and generate them using some
+          numbering scheme.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_predefined_type.cpp:
+          Generate CORBA::_tc_Object as the TypeCode for all pseudo
+          object, this is a hack but works for the files we are using
+          right now (maybe it will fail for complex things, like the
+          interface repository).
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
+          Fixed a number of minor problems:
+          Missing _ptr type for sequences.
+          The return type for T_var::operator-> was different in the
+          .h and .i file.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp:
+          tc_name_ and type_name_ were not initialized, producing some
+          segfaults under NT.

+        TAO_IDL/be,TAO_IDL/ast,Benchmark/benchmark}/Makefile (SHLIB):
+        Fixed definition so that the extension was(SOEXT) rather than
+        hard-coded to "so".  This makes things compile on VxWorks better.
+        Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out.
+
+Sun Nov 02 19:42:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

+
+Sun Nov  2 19:20:57 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/tao/except.*: Made the "print_exception" utility function
+        as a method of class Environment.
+
+        * TAO/tao/giop.cpp: In the TAO_GIOP_Invocation::start method, we
+        were previously not returning even if the connection establishment
+        phase was failing. A return statement is inserted. However, there
+        still are problems when the GIOP_Invocation variable called "call"
+        goes out of scope.
+
+        * TAO_IDL Compiler: be_interface.cpp - The _bind call now
+        generates a "char IOR" instead of "static char IOR" since the
+        latter will be problematic with multiple threads. Thanks to
+        Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for pointing that out.
+
+        * TAO/test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit : Improved the code so that it uses
+        the "print_exception" which is now defined on class
+        CORBA::Environment. The clnt still needs improvement in terms of
+        handling invalid parameters and gracefully exiting.
+
+        * IDL_Compiler: The bug resulting out of encoding object
+        references has been fixed atleast on Solaris using g++ as well as
+        SunCC. Changes made to be_operation.cpp and be_state.cpp such that
+        the return value for object references is always of type
+        CORBA::Object_ptr rather than the real interface type. In
+        addition, keeping in perspective the change that Irfan made and
+        described below (in encode.cpp), the Any that holds the result
+        *does not* own the value. In contrast, for the rest of the cases
+        the result (of type Any) owns the result.
+
+        * be_sequence.cpp: Additional work in progress. Full changelog
+        entry will be available in the next commit.
+
+Fri Oct 31 22:20:06 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tao/encode.cpp (encode): Changed cast of data from
+          *(CORBA::Object_ptr *) to (CORBA::Object_ptr).
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Manipulation of curarg was
+          all messed up.  Fixed it such that it was not incremented
+          unnecessarily.
+
+Fri Oct 31 13:46:04 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/Options.html: Updated to specify new TAO_Resource_Factory
+        service and its options.
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Updated to reflect recent work.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.*: Added the acceptor and related members and
+        methods from CORBA_ORB.  Made TAO_Resource_Factory a Service
+        Object so that it can be loaded via the Service Configurator.  The
+        option to change its resources between global and thread-specific
+        is "-ORBresources global" and "-ORBresources tss", respectively.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Moved the acceptor and related members and methods
+        to TAO_ORB_Core.
+
+        * tests/.../svc.conf: Added Resource Factory as a service.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{DII_Cubit,MT_Cubit}/cubitS.cpp,
+        tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp, tao/poa.cpp: Changed acceses that
+        used to go to CORBA_ORB::params() to go to TAO_ORB_Core::params().
+
+Fri Oct 31 08:39:54 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL Compiler - Intermediate commit of all improved features.
+
+        * be/be_type.* : Improved the nested_type_name method such that it
+        now takes an additional parameter called suffix that has a default
+        value of NULL. Carlos, Sergio, and myself independently found an
+        extremely bad piece of code that was getting generated that looked
+        like the following:
+                ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY)_ptr
+
+        The new convention is to pass the suffix such as "_ptr", or "_var"
+        or "_out" to this method so that it can generate valid code of the
+        form:
+                ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY_ptr)
+
+        * be/be_decl.cpp : All the methods such as repoID (), flatname
+        (), etc now check if the corresponding data member was created or
+        not. If they are not, the corresponding private method e.g.,
+        compute_repoID (), are invoked. This way we do not have to call
+        all these private methods in the constructors of all the derived
+        be classes. The one compelling reason to do it this way is because
+        the "names" for certain types are not available at construction
+        time, e.g., sequences. A name to a sequence is assigned from the
+        context it is in i.e., whether it was a named sequence in the form
+        of a "typedef" statement or it was an anonymous sequence.
+
+        As of this commit, all calls to such compute_*  methods in the
+        constructors of all the derived be classes are commented out and
+        will eventually disappear in the next commit.
+
+        * be/be_decl.cpp : One more change in be_decl.cpp is to add the
+        case for "interface_fwd" in the generation of the _var and _out
+        definitions and implementations.
+
+        * be/be_helper.* : Added two new methods called "gen_ifdef_macro"
+        and "gen_endif". These are required to generate the #if !defined
+        (...) <code> #endif macros. These are very essential if the IDL
+        has forward declarations of interfaces. Forward declarations of
+        interfaces must generate a forward class declaration. In addition,
+        it has to typedef the "_ptr" type and define the "_var" and "_out"
+        types. However, the real "be_interface" class does this too which
+        can result in "multiple declarations" errors from the C++
+        compiler. Hence we use this scheme. As in the case of the
+        nested_type_name method mentioned above, this method also takes a
+        default "suffix" parameter (= 0). This is required for the "_var",
+        "_ptr", and "_out" suffixes.
+
+        * be/be_interface.cpp
+          be/be_interface_fwd.cpp:
+
+        Used the TAO_OutStream::gen_ifdef_macro () and gen_endif methods
+        for the definitions of the _ptr, _var, and _out classes and their
+        implementations.
+
+        *be/be_sequence.* : Lot of modifications and change in the design
+        in terms of handling the base types that themselves could be
+        sequences. Although the AST_Sequence i.e., OMG IDL does not define
+        a "sequence" to be a scope producing construct like structs or
+        unions, we choose to make "be_sequence" to be a scope producing
+        construct. This is no way alters the OMG IDL language because the
+        front-end is still the same. "be_sequence" was made to inherit
+        from scope because the sequence mapping gives rise to a C++ class
+        which is a scoping construct. This way, base types that turn out
+        to be anonymous sequences can be assigned a parent scope and their
+        name generation will fall in line with other classes.
+
+        There are certain features missing with sequences at this commit
+        time, but this should reduce tweaking the generated code to a
+        large extent.
+
+        * be/be_state.cpp: Update the code for handling sequences and
+        typedefs. Typedefs should be handled properly now.
+
+        * All other *.cpp files: Either commented out the compute_* calls
+        in the constructors or removed them.
+
+Fri Oct 31 03:00:09 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Moved call to connector's open() into init(),
+        thus insuring that it gets called only AFTER all the resources are
+        available from the Resource Factory.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.*: Changed data members to be associations rather
+        than containment.  This allows decoupling of the
+        "thread-specificness" of these resources from the
+        thread-specificness of the general TAO_ORB_Core container.  Also
+        added set accessors for those resources.
+
+        Added TAO_Resource_Factory class from which the TAO_ORB_Core
+        container initializes itself.  For now this remains a singleton
+        which is, at compile-time, determined to be either TSS or not.
+        But, soon, it will be loaded via the Service Configurator and its
+        TSS nature determined at runtime.
+
+        * tao/giop.h: Updated to use the new ACE macro
+        ACE_CLASS_IS_NAMESPACE.
+
+        * tao/default_server.*: Implemented the new open() method so that
+        it initializes the Reactive and Threaded strategies from the
+        information in TAO_ORB_Core.
+
+        * tao/server_factory.*: Added open() method to be called after all
+        ORB resources are loaded up.  This method can then be used by a
+        strategy factory to further initialize its contained strategies if
+        they require handles to resources to which the ORB might legislate
+        access.  The default implementation does nothing.
+
+Fri Oct 31 01:03:05 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): obj was not declared.
+          Commented out use of obj in dmsg1.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_Factory_i):
+          numobjs_ was used before it was assigned.
+
+        * TAO/TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.{mak,mdp}: Added VC++4.2 make files.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump): Streaming the enum was
+          ambiguous.  Therefore the enum was cast to an int.
+
+Thu Oct 30 22:50:44 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * tao/corba.h:
+          Added a definition for ACE_NESTED_CLASS, maybe it is defined in
+          some place else, but I couldn't find it.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp:
+          Fixed the definition for skeleton destructors.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_helper.cpp:
+          Added a lot of redundant ACE_OS::fflush() calls. Apparently we
+          have two FILE* or file descriptors over the same file, bt the
+          fflush hides the problem.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp:
+          Fixed inconsistency between operator-> declaration and
+          definition for _out classes.
+
+Thu Oct 30 14:06:54 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/Makefile:
+        Added an expression to the sed command in the rule to construct
+        lex.yy.cpp, that replaces ECHO with TAO_ECHO, because a
+        different ECHO macro is already defined in
+        /usr/include/sys/termios.h
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll:
+        Fixed some warnings about nested comments.
+        Changed the declaration of variable i to outside of
+        the 'for' initialization to avoid obsolete binding warnings.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface_fwd.cpp (gen_client_header):
+        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
+        for variable i.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp (exprtype_to_string):
+        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_error.cpp (exprtype_to_string):
+        Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled
+        enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType.  These will
+        handle a default value (i.e. NULL).  Enumerations added are:
+        AST_Expression::EV_wstring
+        AST_Expression::EV_wchar
+        AST_Expression::EV_longdouble
+        AST_Expression::EV_ulonglong
+        AST_Expression::EV_longlong
+
+Thu Oct 30 09:56:41 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop.h: Added comments to TAO_GIOP class explicitly pointing
+        out its use as a namespace.  Concurrently, I also scoped the CTOR,
+        Copy CTOR, and DTOR as 'private' so nobody can mistakenly
+        instantiate one of these puppies.
+
+Thu Oct 30 03:40:26 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/client.dsp:
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/server.dsp:  Updated include files
+          path and libarary path.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp (close_connection): Use ACE_HANDLE instead of int.
+
+Thu Oct 30 02:53:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.19, released Thu Oct 30 02:53:20 1997.
+
+Thu Oct 30 02:20:21 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit:
+        Added more comments and changed the header to be ACE'ified.
+        Make output more consistent.
+
+Thu Oct 30 02:12:27 1997 Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/{TAO, Cubit}: Changed the directory heirarchy to the
+        following: tests/Cubit/TAO/ now contains all the Cubit examples,
+        i.e. IDL_Cubit, MT_Cubit and DII_Cubit, instead of tests/. Updated
+        the README and Makefiles to reflect this. DII_Cubit is the
+        handcrafted "original" Cubit example.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/COOL: Added the COOL version of the Cubit test. The
+        COOL version is written for Chorus COOL version 4.1.
+
+Wed Oct 29 22:26:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (init): Fixed the error handling so we
+        exit correctly when things go wrong.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp (open): Revised the code to use the new
+        ACE_LACKS_SOCKET_BUFSIZ to detect when this feature isn't
+        supported.
+
+        * tao/{giop,connect}: Added a nifty typedef called TAO_SVC_HANDLER
+        to remove the drudgery of expanding the template each time.
+
+        * tao: Changed the name of TAO_OA_Connection_Handler to
+        TAO_Server_Connection_Handler to be compliant with the
+        TAO_Client_Connection_Handler.
+
+Wed Oct 29 20:47:47 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:
+        Cleaned up the code.  Added ACE_Profile_Timer to time the calls.
+        Changed copyright header.  Added more comments.
+
+Wed Oct 29 18:55:57 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop: Added "_"'s to the data members in
+        TAO_GIOP_Invocation.
+
+        * tao/giop (send_request): Swaped the order of the parameters for
+        send_request() so that it would be consistent with recv_request.
+
+        * tao/{connect,giop}: Changed read_message() to recv_request(),
+        and send_message() to send_request() since these things really
+        work on GIOP requests.
+
+        * tao/{connect,giop}: Changed read_message() to recv_message(),
+        which is more like other parts of ACE.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Fixed the calls to read_message() and
+        send_message() so that they don't try to modify "this."
+
+        * tao/giop: Changed the send_message() and read_message() in the
+        TAO_GIOP class to take ACE_Svc_Handler<ACE_SOCK_STREAM,
+        ACE_NULL_SYNCH> rather than TAO_Client_Connection_Handler.
+
+Wed Oct 29 17:53:12 1997    <irfan@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tao: Added TAO_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE to tao and Cubit NT makefiles.
+          This probably needs to be added to the other NT makefiles.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated files to pass the correct
+          options to the factory.
+
+Wed Oct 29 16:07:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop.*: Changed most methods that took ACE_SOCK_Stream&
+        parameters to take TAO_Client_Connection_Handler*& parameters.
+        This makes it easier to clean up properly after errors.  Also
+        #ifdef'd out seemingly unused code (TAO_GIOP::incoming_message).
+        Fixed call to ACE_Svc_Handler::idle() to not contain an argument.
+
+        * docs/Options.html: Updated the documentation to reflect recent
+        changes.
+
+Wed Oct 29 15:59:30 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: OO'ified the code. Added class
+        Cubit_Client.
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: added this file to contain  the class
+        definition.
+
+Wed Oct 29 11:01:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL compiler: be_type.cpp::nested_type_name: A quick commit
+        made that includes an improvement over the previous scheme of
+        generating ACE_NESTED_CLASS macros. We handle the problem of
+        generating fully scoped names for types that were defined in some
+        ancestor of the scope in which that type is being used.
+
+        * Makefiles under TAO_IDL: Fixed a bug in the Makefiles under all
+        the subdirectories. This bug was reported by "ARTURO MONTES"
+        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>. The bug was causing circular
+        dependencies on the libraru that was getting compiled.
+
+Wed Oct 29 06:17:36 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Must increase the loop
+          counter.
+
+Wed Oct 29 02:11:43 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.18, released Wed Oct 29 02:11:43 1997.
+
+Wed Oct 29 00:56:26 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated documentation comments to
+        reflect factory option changes.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Wiped argvec_shift and all its bugs off the face
+        of the earth.  Manojkumar Acharya <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> should prove
+        to be very happy about this turn of events. :-)
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Weeded out old, dead code here and there and
+        migrated much of what had been in ORB_init() into
+        TAO_ORB_Core::init().
+
+        * tao/orb_core.*: Added methods init() and fini() which perform
+        ORB Core-related initializations and cleanups, respectively.  This
+        is all in anticipation of having a Unified Factory which provides
+        ORB Core as well as other information.  Also began stubbing out
+        and migrating various data members and associated accessors so
+        that they are pointers rather than actual members.  The next step
+        is to actually make them pointers and have everything get
+        initialized properly and deterministically and keep everything
+        working.
+
+        * tao/{giop,orb_core}.cpp: Revised code due to recent changes in
+        ACE related to the Caching connector.
+
+        * tao/default_server.{h,cpp} (parse_args): This method now uses
+        options of the style -ORBfoo rather than the previously-cryptic
+        single-letter options.  This should allow us to eventually allow
+        this same routine to parse args from the command line as well as
+        inside the svc.conf file.  The price we pay for consistency,
+        however, is verbosity to the point of insanity (e.g.,
+        -ORBconcurrency...blech!)  These options are briefly documented in
+        the method header as well as in subsequent svc.conf files.
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp: Added some comments for arguments.
+
+        * tao/connect.{h,cpp}: Moved Connector-related typedefs and
+        corresponding template instantiations into the proper
+        file--orb_core.*.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Moved much of what used to be
+        ORB_init() into here.  Changed the manner in which objref style
+        was determined--it's no longer via a special ORB name but rather
+        by the -ORBobjrefstyle option which can have either the value
+        "IOR" or "URL" (default is URL).
+
+Tue Oct 28 21:15:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * build/SunOS5.5/TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main): Fixed the
+        code so that if you give incorrect parameters the program exits
+        cleanly, rather than segfaulting.
+
+Tue Oct 28 20:49:28 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp (start): NT Access Violation error, AGAIN! Added
+          codes to reset this->handler_ so that
+          ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy won't complain.
+
+Tue Oct 28 19:19:05 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_struct.cpp}: Added code
+        that will generate the ACE_NESTED_CLASS macro
+
+        *TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Implemented be_type::nexted_type_name
+        that will generate the ACE_NESTED_CLASS macro. However, this may
+        not be completely correct at this point because we want to see if
+        teh compiler fails for types defined in some ancestor and whose
+        fully scoped names are generated .
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Added code that will generate the
+        _bind call on the interface class.
+
+        * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added the _bind call in clnt.cpp. Improved
+        the README file.
+
+        *MAXNAMELEN : There was a clash with TAO_CodeGen::MAXNAMELEN. So
+        it has been substituted by NAMEBUFSIZE as a macro in be_codegen.h
+
+Mon Oct 27 22:22:22 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_decl.cpp: Added a ptr () function to the _var classes
+        hat returns the underlying ptr_ data member. This ptr () member
+        function is now used to pass a pointer type to constructor and
+        assignment operator from a T_var class.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be_state.cpp: Important changes related to generation of
+        return values of operations in the stubs. In addition, an & was
+        missing for passing string types. Some additional bugs arising out
+        of operations with void return type have been fixed.
+
+        * ./tests/IDL_Cubit: This test has been modified to include a
+        factory interface that reads a key for the cubit object and
+        produces an obj reference for Cubit. In addition, a preliminary
+        version of the _bind call has been tested with IDL_Cubit.
+
+        *MAXNAMELEN : Carlos informed me that MAXNAMELEN was a small
+        constant on some platforms. This has been changed to
+        TAO_CodeGen::MAXNAMELEN with a value of 100.
+
+Mon Oct 27 22:07:58 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+

+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp:
+          Set this->cli_stub_gen_ to I_TRUE once the code has been
+          emitted.
+
+Mon Oct 27 19:34:08 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp:
+          Set this->cli_stub_gen_ to I_TRUE at the end.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
+          Set the state to TAO_CodeGen::TAO_TYPEDEF_CH instead of just
+          struct.
+
+Mon Oct 27 15:22:24 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>
+

+        * tao/optable.cpp:
+        * tao/optable.h:
+        * tao/singletons.h:
+        The ACE_Singleton lock type needs to be changed from
+        ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX (or ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX) ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_MUTEX.
+        ACE handles those more efficiently for its singletons.  Change
+        suggested by David Levine.
+
+Mon Oct 27 11:59:51 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Made it so _FAR is defined all the time.  Thanks
+        to Manojkumar Acharya <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> for reporting this.
+
+Sun Oct 26 22:18:01 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.17, released Sun Oct 26 22:18:01 1997.
+
+Sun Oct 26 17:53:25 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * {tao,tests}/Makefile: Commented out the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE in
+        these Makefiles since it is going away anyhow and is confusing...
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/svc.conf,
+          tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf:
+        Changed the default concurrency policy to be reactive so that
+        things work correctly if TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE.  Thanks to Sumedh
+        for pointing this out.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Put the TAO_DEFAULT_SERVER_PORT into
+        ACE's OS.h file and used it in TAO.
+
+Sun Oct 26 15:07:18 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/params.h: Eliminated forward decls of the now-defunct ROA
+        class.
+
+        * tao/orb_core.h (TAO_DEFAULT_PORT): Added manifest constant for
+        default port.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Eliminated ugly anonymous constant
+        use for hbuf's size.  Utilized manifest constant for default port.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Changed calls to
+        TAO_Client_Connection_Handler::in_use() to call the underlying
+        Svc_Handler::idle().
+
+        * tao/connect.{h,i}: Eliminated in_use() flags because they're no
+        longer needed with the new Strategy Connector.
+
+        * tao/iioporb.cpp (string_to_object): Removed setting of the orb
+        in the underlying CORBA::Object because it's no longer there.
+
+        * tao/object.{h,i} (CORBA_Object): Eliminated the pointer to an orb
+        within this object.  This should help solve some problems in
+        passing object references across the wire.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Added template instantiations for
+        ACE_Hash_Map_Iterator to reflect Irfan's recent changes.
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/README: Updated documentation on the server to
+        reflect current reality.
+
+Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Redid the template specialization of Hash_Addr
+        to account for the new changes.
+
+Sun Oct 26 01:05:36 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Changed from using Strategies_T.h to Strategies.h.
+
+        * tao/connect.h: Removed a template argument form ACE_Hash_Addr.
+          Removed explicit instantiation of compare_i.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp:  Removed a template argument from explicit
+          instantiation of ACE_Hash_Addr.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp (main): Added a simple class
+          ACE_Winsock_proper_shutdown here to shutdown winsock properly.
+          This class should be removed later once we figure out how to
+          close down winsock properly from ACE.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Changed the name of shared object from
+          libTAO to TAO.  Added configuration lines for using debug
+          version of TAO library on NT.
+
+Sun Oct 26 01:47:04 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (upcase):
+        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_string.cpp (canonicalize):
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (tc_name2long):
+        Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop,
+        to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed"
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_flatname):
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_repoID):
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (compute_fullskelname):
+        Fixed error "second - I_FALSE;", should be "second = I_FALSE;"

+
+        * TAO version 0.0.16, released Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997.
+
+Sun Oct 26 00:32:29 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Reverted a change that Carlos had
+        overwritten.  I guess he's not getting enough sleep these
+        days... ;-)
+
+Sun Oct 26 00:31:38 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tao/orb_core.i (hash_i): Redid the specialization in view of the
+          new changes.
+
+Sat Oct 25 18:14:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (be_interface): Worked around a
+        nasty MSVC++ compiler bug that doesn't like CORBA::Object
+        (object_ptr).  So we use an existing ACE macro for this.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (be_interface): Fixed yet another
+        round of uninitialized data members.  It is clear that the
+        original authors of this code wouldn't pass my ugrad programming
+        course...
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll (idl_parse_line_and_file): Had to make a minor
+        change to skip over the #line directive from Microsoft.  In
+        addition, had to add some code to put Microsoft-style pathnames
+        into a canonical form (i.e., replacing = '\\' with '\').  Thanks
+        to Darrell for helping with this.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Added a new rule to handle the fact
+        that the Microsoft C++ preprocessor generates tags of the
+        form
+
+        #line 1 "bar.idl"
+
+        rather than
+
+        #1 "bar.idl"
+
+        which is what UNIX C++ compilers seem to do.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_fullname, compute_flatname):
+        Fixed a nasty bug where the original author thought new always
+        returned 0'd memory...  Sheesh!
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Changed fd < 0 to fd ==
+        ACE_INVALID_HANDLE to be more portable.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (be_decl): There were two fields,
+        flatname_ and repoID_, that weren't given initial values of 0.
+        Thanks to Purify for finding this!
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.{yy,ll}: Replaced all uses of type names <name>
+        (e.g., FLOAT) with IDL_<name> (e.g., IDL_FLOAT) so that the code
+        won't bomb on lame systems like NT that typedef basic types to all
+        capitals (e.g., typedef float FLOAT).
+
+Sat Oct 25 22:28:42 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Since yytext may be an "unsigned char*" under
+          HP-UX they define an "alias" __yytext. This hack fails miserably
+          when using flex, since then the yytext thing can change on the
+          fly. I use an inline function instead.  Added support for #line
+          preprocessor directives.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Documented some of my changes
+          for NT, namely the fact that unlinking the output file while
+          still open causes the parsing to fail on NT.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added new folders for source files, header
+          files, template files, etc. I modelled this based on the ACE
+          project files.
+
+Sat Oct 25 22:05:43 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_constant.cpp (exprtype_to_string):
+        Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled
+        enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType.  These will
+        handle a default value (i.e. the same case as
+        AST_Expression::EV_none).
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (operator==):
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (compare):
+        Make the default return value I_FALSE instead of NULL which
+        was  giving "lacks a cast" warning.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (fill_definition_details):
+        Use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the
+        member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids
+        implicit (void *) conversions warnings.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (eval_symbol):
+        Initialized pointers to 0.
+
+Sat Oct 25 17:45:17 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Fixed the same bug that Sumedh
+        fixed. In addition, ACEified the calls to strcat and strcmp in
+        that file.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Used %array in the defintion section so that
+        flex uses yytext as an array of characters rather than pointer to
+        char. The pointer case was resulting in a segmentation fault due
+        to lack of memory allocation for the yytext variable. However, we
+        choose to use the array approach to be compatile with "lex"
+        behavior.
+
+Sat Oct 25 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Fixed proper tmp filename
+        creation.
+
+Sat Oct 25 14:14:53 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsw:
+        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp:
+          Added a MSVC++ project file for the IDL compiler, needs several
+          revisions byt the NT experts before shipping, but it has served
+          me well.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp:
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp:
+          We use ACE components to fork&exec subprocesses, get the default
+          TMP directory and generate protable pathnames.
+          In one case the mapping to NT is not clear: the use case is fork
+          to get a "fresh" copy of the process and provide a unit of
+          protection for the parent; this feature is only used if more
+          than one IDL file is compiled at the same time.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp:
+          Fixed minor bug, it said "second - I_FALSE;", it should be
+          "second = I_FALSE

+        have any type defined for it, but it had "struct_type", "union_type"
+        and others on the right-hand side of the rules. The default action of
+        YACC is supposed to assign1 to. So the type for "struct_type"
+        that happened to be a AST_Decl node was getting assigned to the
+        non-terminal "type_dcl" who had no type.
+
+        I am very surprised that the "yacc" on our Sparcs never ever gave this
+        error, but bison did.
+
+        Hence I have modified idl.yy slightly so that I have {$$ = 0;} as the
+        default action. In addition, the non-terminal "type_dcl" is now
+        defined to be of type "ival" which is defined as long inside the
+        %union clause.
+
+        Above all, the bison generated files required some prototypes. So I
+        had to add the following to idl.yy in the declarations section.
+
+        int yylex (void);
+        void yyerror (char *);
+        extern "C" yywrap (void);
+
+        Somehow, this yywrap had to be under extern "C". I don't know why the
+        others need not be under extern "C".

+Sat Oct 25 00:05:05 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.15, released Sat Oct 25 00:05:05 1997.
+
+Sat Oct 25 02:46:05 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/Makefile:
+        Changed the YACC variable to use the bison compiler.
+        Added "-y" to YFLAGS to make bison generate output files like yacc.
+        Changed the LEX variable to use the flex parser instead of lex.
+        These programs generate code that has less warnings and is better
+        code in general.
+        Added "-D_REENTRANT" to CPPFLAGS, to be able to eliminate the warnings
+        in lex.yy.cpp.  This could also be fixed if we include "ace/ACE.h" at
+        the beginning of lex.yy.cpp, but this file is generated with flex.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.yy:
+        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
+        for variable "AST_Decl *v".
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll (idl_atof):
+        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
+        for variable f and h.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/include/idl.h:
+        Added include file "ace/ACE.h".  This was necessary to eliminate
+        warnings of implicit declarations, which were because the _REENTRANT
+        flag was not defined.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp (AST_Operation):
+        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
+        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp (fe_add_exceptions):
+        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
+        for variable fs.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_interface.cpp (AST_Interface):
+        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
+        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (operator==):
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce):
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce_value):
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (compare):
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump_expr_val):
+        Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled
+        enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType.  These will
+        handle a default value (i.e. the same case as
+        AST_Expression::EV_none).  Enumerations added are:
+        AST_Expression::EV_wstring
+        AST_Expression::EV_wchar
+        AST_Expression::EV_longdouble
+        AST_Expression::EV_ulonglong
+        AST_Expression::EV_longlong
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (AST_Expression):
+        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
+        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_decl.cpp (AST_Decl):
+        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
+        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
+        Also, use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the
+        member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids
+        implicit (void *) conversions warnings.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (dump):
+        Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop,
+        to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed"
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (compute_dims):
+        Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop,
+        to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed"
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (AST_Array):
+        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
+        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_declarator.cpp (FE_Declarator):
+        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
+        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_main.cpp (DRV_drive):
+        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_recursive.cpp (AST_illegal_recursive_type):
+        Initialized pointer variables to avoid warnings.
+
+Fri Oct 24 19:18:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao: Changed remaining uses of BOA to POA.
+
+        * cubit_i.cpp (please_exit): Replaced the call to
+        please_shutdown() on the POA (which no longer exists) with the
+        shutdown() call on the ORB.
+
+        * tests/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp: Removed
+
+        oa_ptr->clean_shutdown (env);
+
+        since this is no longer supported in TAO's POA.
+
+        * tao/poa.h: Changed the get_boa() method to get_poa().  Even this
+        will probably go away soon.
+
+Fri Oct 24 18:25:00 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/tao/svrrqst.cpp: Method params was allocating memory even
+        when the Any's already had memory allocated for the IN and INOUT
+        parameters. Due to this the params would retrieve results in the
+        allocated storage whereas the stubs/skeletons would continue to
+        use variables that they had defined to hold the values.
+
+Fri Oct 24 17:33:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/poa.*: #ifdef'd out the IIOP 1.4 references to shutdown.
+        I'm leaving them in there right now because they might be useful
+        as private member later when we need to figure out how to get OAs
+        to cooperate and shut themselves down in the face of an ORB
+        shutdown.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.h (shutdown): Fixed up documentation.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.i (shutdown): Provided appropriate arg default.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Eliminated unnecessary Object Adapter
+        name from POA_init() invocation.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit): Revised to use
+        the new ORB::shutdown() method.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp: Got rid of IIOP 1.4-style debug
+        message calls.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB::ORB_init): Corrected a heinous
+        problem in the option parsing loop where argvec_shift() would be
+        asked to shift two argv elements when there was only one.  This
+        could cause problems if an option that required an argument didn't
+        include the argument.  Thanks to Manojkumar Acharya
+        <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> for sending in a bug report that lead to my
+        finding this!
+
+Fri Oct 24 14:08:12  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Improved the compiler to make Unions work. The most subtle error
+        was the way the private section of the class for unions was being
+        generated. TAO's Typecode library expected the union members to be
+        inside of a C++  union declaration inside the private
+        section. Whereas the compiler was generating each member
+        separately.
+
+        Another source of error was bad typecode tables getting
+        generated. This is now fixed.
+
+        * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: The cubit_i.cpp for cube_union was doing
+        wrong calculations for structs. This was due to my copy-paste
+        tendency and not verifying if it was correct or not. This has been
+        fixed. The README file is updated to reflect the fact that this
+        directory contains code that uses the IDL compiler.
+
+Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.14, released Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997.
+
+Fri Oct 24 01:02:01 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * clnt.cpp: Removed mysterious obsolete definitions of
+        cube_union_stub() and cube_union_dii().
+
+        * be_state.h: Added definitions for the methods in class
+        be_state_attribute.  For some reason, they were missing.
+
+        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added the necessary template
+        specializations so that the TAO IDL compiler will work with GCC.
+
+Thu Oct 23 22:46:10 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO IDL Compiler: More progress in terms of getting the Cubit
+        example to work with the IDL generated code. However, we are still
+        finding some problems with using the client-side cubit_union_dii
+        to work properly.
+
+        Much of the improvements were to the server-side skeletons for
+        operations. In addition, code for union constructors, assignment
+        operator, and accessor for discriminant added.
+
+        Some bugs in typecode generation are fixed. This had to do with
+        the encapsulation length for predefined types. It was returning -1
+        as opposed to 0.
+
+        * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added this directory with the cubit
+        example. Use this to test the IDL compiler. The makefile will
+        invoke the IDL compiler to create the required files.
+
+Thu Oct 23 18:34:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/*/Makefile: Fixed the Makefiles so that it has the correct
+        files and dependencies.  Thanks to Steven Wohlever
+        <wohlever@mitre.org> for reporting this.
+
+Wed Oct 22 20:02:39 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * README.sun: Added an explicit reminder at the top that the
+        information in this file is historical in nature and does not
+        necessarily apply to current reality.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.* (shutdown): Added code to the run() event loop so
+        that it will terminate when it finds a flag set.  This involved
+        adding the flag to the ORB's state and minimally implementing the
+        shutdown() method.  The shutdown method still does not honor the
+        "wait for completion" flag which can be passed to it, though.
+
+        * README: Updated the season from "summer" to "Fall" ;-) Also
+        added a note that warned people not to try to link TAO with a
+        version of ACE that's linked with another ORB library, e.g.,
+        liborbix.so.  Thanks to Steven Wohlever <wohlever@mitre.org> for
+        bringing this instructional omission to our attention.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made the body of
+        this function conditional on the TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP
+        preprocessor definition since it doesn't need to exist in
+        platforms that grok the Service Configurator.  This will also
+        reduce the memory footprint :-).  Thanks to David Miron
+        <dxm@crapper.dsto.defence.gov.au> for pointing this out!
+
+        * tao/orb_core.cpp (TAO_ORB_Core): Removed explicit CTOR
+        initialization of reactor_ member.
+
+Wed Oct 22 19:37:22 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO IDL Compiler: Improvements made so that the server-side
+        skeletons for operations now generate valid code. The code
+        generated for the Cubit.idl was compiling cleanly. It is under
+        test currently to see if it runs.
+
+        * Some progress in handling forward declarations of interfaces.
+
+Wed Oct 22 12:55:19 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tao/poa.h:  Added ACE_Svc_Export to class CORBA_POA.
+
+        * tao/TAO.{mdp,mak}:  Updated files in project file.
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed boa, Orb_Core and added poa, orb_core to
+          the project file.
+
+Tue Oct 21 17:21:51 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Updated to reflect daily
+        progress.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/Makefile: Updated dependencies.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated to eliminate empty quotes at
+        the end that tickled a deficiency in the Service Configurator's
+        grammar.
+
+        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Updated to reflect POA_init change.
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test/Makefile: Modified to reflect filename
+        changes.
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: Changed type of argv so that it
+        matched properly.
+
+        * tao/boa.*: Renamed to tao/poa.*.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Renamed to tao/orb_core.*.
+
+        * tao/{Makefile,corba.h,default_client.cpp,default_server.cpp,orb.h,orbobj.cpp,params.h}:
+        Modified to reflect filename changes.
+
+Tue Oct 21 13:23:48 1997 Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/connect.i: Moved hash_i and compare_i template
+          specialization to Orb_Core.i.  Original code was left comment
+          out until this mod is checked on all platforms.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.i: Added hash_i and compare_i code from connect.i.
+
+Tue Oct 21 03:23:29 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.cpp: Removed conditional inclusion of Orb_Core.i
+          since, according to corba.h, it is always included as an inline
+          function file.
+
+Tue Oct 21 02:24:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

+
+Mon Oct 20 23:42:48 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+

+
+        * tao/stub.i (STUB_Object): Removed a stray default value from the

+
+MOn Oct 20 10:14:09 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Improved version of the TAO IDL compiler. The executable has
+        been renamed to tao_idl. There are a number of improvements as
+        well as shortcomings. These are explained in the
+        docs/releasenotes/index.html page, which can be viewed online at
+        http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/releasenotes/.
+
+Mon Oct 20 16:30:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Based the
+        arguments to the faked server service entry for VxWorks on the
+        TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE compilation flag.  This should hopefully
+        eliminate the problems Boeing was seeing in the early rounds of
+        testing the most recent release of TAO.
+
+        * tao/{iiopobj.*,giop.h}: Moved a lock that had been in
+        TAO_GIOP_Invocation (why?  I don't know) into IIOP_Object.  It
+        protects the fwd_profile_ pointer, which has now become private.
+        Also added accessors for the data member as well as the lock.
+        Accessors come in two flavors--thead-safe (fwd_profile()) and
+        non-thread-safe (fwd_profile_i()).  The non-thread-safe variety
+        expect that the lock will be taken and held for the duration of
+        their usage, but no checking is performed in this respect.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Changed references to the IIOP_Object::fwd_profile
+        data member to go through the new accessors (see above).
+
+        * tao/stub.i: Created new file with inline methods for
+        STUB_Object.
+
+        * tao/stub.h: Moved inline method definitions into a new
+        file--stub.i.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (BOA_init): Eliminated dead code and unused
+        variable.
+
+        * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Eliminated unused argument
+        warning detected by gcc.
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Re-ordered inclusion of Orb_Core.i to eliminate
+        'function used before declared inline' errors detected by gcc.
+
+        * tao/{Orb_Core,boa,corbacom,orb,orbobj,svrrqst}.*: Renamed BOA to
+        POA.
+
+        * docs/releasenotes*: Moved releasenotes.html into a directory
+        named "releasenotes" so that the various status pages can live
+        independently.  Currently only the ORB Core's status page is
+        broken out, but the documentation should eventually turn into two
+        frames with the one at the top acting as the guide and the lower
+        frame being the actual status document.
+
+Fri Oct 17 17:42:27 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes.html: Updated to reflect current status.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Added some documentation for open() method.
+
+        * tao/roa.*: Gone.  Bye-bye.  Removed.
+
+Fri Oct 17 15:43:04 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tao/connect.h: Added template instantiation supression directive
+          for Win32.  VC was complaining about duplicate symbols definition.
+
+Fri Oct 17 06:25:23 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{boa,roa}.*: Merged class ROA into class
+        CORBA_BOA. Hopefully everything still works ;-)
+
+        * docs/releasenotes.html: Quick update for new TODO list.  Will be
+        updated within the next day or so with dates, too.
+
+        * tao/{server_factory,orbobj,Orb_Core}.cpp: Corrected incorrect
+        explicit template instantiations and added missing ones.
+
+Thu Oct 16 23:48:04 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

+
+Thu Oct 16 11:15:00 1997  Brian R. Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/server_factory.cpp: Added instantiation pragma for VxWorks for
+          ACE_Acceptor.  Added the template to the specialization section, also.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added instantiation pragma for VxWorks for
+          ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy and ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for
+          ACE_Null_Mutex instantiations.  Also, added these to the template
+          specialization sections.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/Build/default.bld: Added TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP
+          to defines section of GHS build file.
+
+Tue Oct 14 21:11:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/xdr.h: Changed int _fd to ACE_HANDLE _fd to work on NT.
+          Thanks to Satheesh Kumar <satheesh@aspectdv.com> for reporting
+          this.
+
+Tue Oct 14 02:48:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.11, released Tue Oct 14 02:48:21 1997.
+
+Mon Oct 13 23:30:16 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>
+
+        * tao/connect.h: If we are using TSS, there is no reason to use
+          locking in the connector. Therefore, I added a new typedef that
+          defines the type of lock that should be used for the
+          cached_connect_strategy.  It is ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX in the
+          non-TSS case, and ACE_SYNCH_NULL_MUTEX in the TSS case.
+
+Mon Oct 13 21:34:00 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/svrrqst.cpp (oa): Cleaned up the coding style a bit.
+
+Sun Oct 12 15:38:35 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/client_factory: Gutted the client factory code related to
+          the Strategy_Connector so that it's either in the TAO_Orb_Core.
+
+        * tao/default_client.h: Removed the connector() from the
+          Default_Client_Factory entirely since it's all been put into the
+          TAO_ORB_Core now.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp (start): Hacked up the code so that we extract our
+          connector from thread-specific storage if we're using the
+          thread-per-rate concurrency model.  This needs to be integrated
+          more cleverly in the ORB.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.h: Put an instance of the TAO_CONNECTOR into each
+          TAO_ORB_Core object so that we don't have to share these things
+          among all of the threads in a process, but instead can have them
+          be located in thread-specific storage.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (perform_work): Updated the run() and
+          perform_work() methods to take optional ACE_Time_Value *'s (so
+          they can return from timeouts) and to return error flags if
+          things go wrong.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.h (CORBA_ORB): Changed the set_up_for_listening()
+          call to open(), which is more consistent with other usage in
+          ACE/TAO.
+
+        * tao/orbobj: Changed the name client_acceptor_ to peer_acceptor_
+          to reflect the fact that the connection model is more generic
+          than the notion of client/server interactions (which really take
+          place as the result of particular communication roles).
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Moved the order of #includes around so that
+          "connect.h" is included before "client_factory.h"
+
+        * tao/connect.h: Moved the typedef of the ACE_Strategy_Connector<>
+          from the TAO_Client_Strategy_Factory into the global space and
+          renamed it TAO_CONNECTOR file so that it will be equivalent with
+          the TAO_ACCEPTOR.
+
+Thu Oct  9 23:17:37 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp (invoke): If an error occurs, make sure to mark the
+          handler_ as no longer being in use before we set it to 0.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp (TAO_GIOP_Invocation): We need to make sure that
+          handler_ isn't 0 before we mark it as no longer being in use.
+
+Thu Oct  9 11:33:46 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp:
+          There was a minor sintax error.
+
+Tue Oct 07 09:34:35 1997    <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.h{cpp}: Added ACE_Svc_Export label to global
+        TAO_ORB_Core_instance() method.  Needed for DLL support on NT.i
+
+        * default.bld, tao.bld: Modified VxWorks build files to add new files.
+
+Tue Oct 07 07:05:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.10, released Tue Oct 07 07:05:38 1997.
+
+Mon Oct 06 22:11:40 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit):
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit): Changed to use the new
+          TAO_ORB_CORE_instance () global function.
+
+Mon Oct  6 20:06:05 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{boa.h,connect.cpp,giop.cpp,giop.h,roa.cpp,roa.h}:
+        Eliminated unused methods and code.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Created new global function called
+        TAO_ORB_Core_instance() which will return the correct instance of
+        the ORB Core state.  This had previously been accessed using
+        TAO_ORB_CORE::instance(), but Win32s linking procedures made the
+        template for TAO_ORB_CORE expand in both the application and the
+        library/DLL, thus creating two singletons.  Bad scene.  The
+        function should force the expansion of the template to only be in
+        the DLL.
+
+        * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,orbobj,roa}.cpp:
+        Changed references to TAO_ORB_CORE::instance() to
+        TAO_ORB_Core_instance().
+
+        * tao/singletons.h: Removed definition of TAO_ORB_CORE.
+
+Sat Oct  4 20:08:57 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/TAO.{dsp,dsw}: Added tao_internals.cpp into project file
+          list.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.h (TAO_Internal): Added ACE_Svc_Export and
+          I d.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.i (open_services): Added default return value
+          0.
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Added #include "tao/tao_internals.h" and
+          the CVS I d field.  Also, we should include inline (.i) file
+          for inline code.
+
+Fri Oct  3 09:29:05 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Changed the key naming scheme back to
+        not be unique throughout the process.  Process-unique code is
+        still there, but conditionally compiled mutually-exclusive to the
+        other scheme.
+
+        * tao/server_factory.*: The object_lookup_strategy method is gone
+        and is replaced by the create_object_table factor method.  See
+        more information below.
+
+        * tao/default_server.*: The server factory no longer holds on to a
+        single pointer for the object lookup strategy.  In previous
+        incarnations of TAO, this didn't cause problems, but the advent of
+        ORB-per-thread highlighted the inherent badness in this
+        implementation choice.  Gone is the object_lookup_strategy method,
+        and in comes the create_object_table factory method, which creates
+        and returns (and doesn't hold onto) an object table in accordance
+        with parameters such as size and search algorithm.
+
+        * tao/roa.cpp: Changed to use the create_object_table method.
+
+Thu Oct  2 13:48:31 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Modified the key generation scheme to
+        include thread ID.  This works around a current shortcoming in the
+        ORB Core in which the object table is shared throughout all object
+        adapters (yes, this is being fixed).
+
+        * tao/tao_internals.*: Added new class to scope static operations
+        and data completely internal to the ORB.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.{i,cpp}: Moved CORBA_ORB DTOR into cpp file.  Finally
+        got rid of icky static mutex in ORB_init().  Moved service config
+        initialization into TAO_Internal method.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added comments.
+
+Wed Oct  1 12:51:48 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Removed CORBA:: name resolution from the class
+          String_out which is itself defined in class CORBA.  MSVC doesn't
+          like that.
+
+Wed Oct  1 10:44:55 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/varout.h: Fixed some template errors in class
+        TAO_Object_out. This was pointed to me by Carlos as he was
+        compiling TAO in SGI.
+
+Wed Oct  1 09:10:38 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes.html:
+          Updated information on the Event Channel, the use of the Naming
+          Service is no longer a plan, it is done already.
+
+Tue Sep 30 20:14:29 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.9, released Tue Sep 30 20:14:29 1997.
+
+Tue Sep 30 19:42:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Makefile: Removed "docs" from DIRS so we don't try to run
+        make in this directory.
+
+Tue Sep 30 17:27:00 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * <RELEASE>: Tagged a release for limited consumption until the
+        Service Configurator bug is fixed.
+
+        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Added code to properly release CORBA
+        objects.  Delays between task activations simply aid in debugging
+        and are not necessary.
+
+        * tao/singletons.h: Made TAO_ORB_Core's singleton type
+        compile-time selectable via the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE compiler flag.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected an incorrect shift count, and the ORB
+        Core now defaults to using the host name of the local host.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.[hi]: Added explicit CTOR.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.cpp: Insured that the correct template type was
+        instantiated.
+
+        * tao/Makefile: Added -DTAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE to CPPFLAGS.
+
+Tue Sep 30 16:43:12 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/releasenotes.html: Added some notes on the ORB Core.
+
+Mon Sep 29 14:39:51 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/{index,components,releasenotes}.html: Added additional
+        documentation.
+
+Mon Sep 29 13:50:34 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO ORB changes:
+
+        any.*: Added _var and _out classes.
+
+        corbacom.{h,i} : Added _out types for primitive types, added _out and
+        updated _var classes for String. Added corbacom.i for implementing
+        the String's _var and _out classes
+
+        sequence.{h,i}: Added a number of templates for _var and _out
+        classes. However, these are yet to be used and tested.
+
+        * Alpha release of TAO IDL compiler added to this release. This is
+        an alpha release and we are currently putting it to rigorous
+        test. A large amount of code for the back end is added under the
+        TAO/TAO_IDL/be_include and TAO/TAO_IDL/be/ directories.
+
+        In addition, some amount of ACEification done to methods belonging
+        to the TAO/TAO_IDL/utils/ classes.
+
+        A few errors in the IDL grammar have been fixed in
+        fe/idl.yy. These had to do with the valid types for parameters and
+        operation return types. There are still some errors recognizing
+        unions which will be fixed later. The scanner (fe/idl.l) was
+        modified to recognize the OMG IDL data type "any".
+
+        * The ChangeLog file under TAO/TAO_IDL is removed and its contents
+        are inserted appropriately in this ChangeLog file
+
+Sun Sep 28 17:01:27 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/multiCubit: Added a multi-threaded version of Cubit.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: At long last, Andy has his wish for not having
+        to provide a "-ORBhost <me>" argument to a server.  It now uses
+        ACE_OS::hostname() to determine the canonical hostname, and
+        listens on that address.
+
+        * tao/singletons.h: Changed the ORB Core singleton to be a TSS
+        singleton; this will eventually be conditionally compiled in
+        (before release).  Also added comments and "safety defines".
+
+        * tao/except.cpp: Changed some usage of fputs() in
+        print_exception() to use ACE_DEBUG.
+
+Sun Sep 28 03:18:24 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.h (Object): Changed references of base
+          class from "CORBA::Object" to "CORBA_Object."  MSVC doesn't
+          allow this.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to TAO_Orb_Core class.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to all IID constants.
+          Notice that we must put ACE_Svc_Export _after_ extern "C".
+
+Sat Sep 27 09:31:42 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.h: Fixed the friend declaration for
+        CORBA::ORB_init().
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Modified to use ORB::run() for event
+        loop and eliminated code cruft.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Added stubs for 4 methods on the ORB from the
+        POA spec: work_pending, perform_work, run, and shutdown.  Of all
+        of these, only run is reasonably implemented, and there not even
+        according to the spec (because the way the spec works isn't really
+        good for our purposes...need to work on that).  See the docs for
+        information.
+
+        Moved the initialization of the Acceptor into its own method,
+        set_up_for_listening (which is a one-shot style method), and
+        placed a call to this within the aforementioned run method.
+
+        * tao/default_client.h: Miscellaneous comments added.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Corrected an errant ACE_DEBUG () call.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added private methods to allow setting of the
+        orb and extended the laurel of friendship to CORBA::ORB_init().
+
+Fri Sep 26 10:20:06 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Added acceptor initialization code to CORBA_ORB
+        CTOR.  (We still need to find a way to NOT do this on the client
+        side.)  Moved CORBA_ORB CTOR into .cpp to avoid nasty
+        interdependencies caused when it was in the .i file.  Moved the
+        specification of host and port to be ORB parameters rather than OA
+        parameters, i.e., -OAhost is now -ORBhost and -OAport is now
+        -ORBport.
+
+        * tao/roa.*: Removed server-side connection endpoint
+        initialization (Acceptor stuff) and put it into the ORB.
+
+        * tao/connect.h: Renamed ROA_Acceptor to TAO_Acceptor (since it's
+        not related to the OA any longer), and restored explicit inclusion
+        of ace headers to avoid having to include "corba.h".
+
+        * tao/boa.h: Removed unneeded get_addr() method.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp: Updates to support changes in ORB
+        Core.
+
+Thu Sep 25 12:28:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/params.*: Added explicit CTOR & DTOR for
+        TAO_{OA,ORB}_Parameters classes that somehow got removed in the
+        previous round of attacks.  Also specified all methods which go
+        into the .i file as "LOCAL_INLINE" within the header.  This avoids
+        having to unravel ugly, complex order interdependencies.
+
+Thu Sep 25 03:48:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/Options.html: Terse documentation on options available for
+        the abstract factories.
+
+        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added this class (TAO_ORB_Core) to hold the
+        "state" of an ORB.  The intent is that as we move towards
+        different concurrency models, this can be thrown into
+        thread-specific storage and remain a singleton, essentially
+        allowing the running of an ORB-per-thread.
+
+        * tao/singletons.h: Added this file to contain type definitions
+        for *ALL* ACE_Singleton<> types used within TAO.  This was
+        motivated by a desire to eliminate the multitude of warnings
+        generated by g++ regarding methods being called before declared
+        inline, and the only way to eliminate this was to insure that all
+        inlined methods were seen by the compiler before the
+        ACE_Singleton<> definition.  Thus, corba.h includes singleton.h as
+        the very last thing that it does.
+
+        * tao/params.*: TAO_OA_Parameters is no longer a singleton, and
+        because of new recognition of associations in the object model for
+        an ORB, lots of data members and their methods have been shuffled
+        to other places or eliminated.  addr() now belongs in
+        TAO_ORB_Parameters, and root_poa_ is in TAO_ORB_Core.  The
+        using_threads_, thread_flags_, upcall_, and forwarder_ members
+        have been eliminated and their roles taken over by the Concurrency
+        Strategies and the new Dispatch call chain implemented in my last
+        round of changes.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Changed references to the ORB singleton to go
+        through TAO_ORB_CORE::instance().  Also eliminated an unnecessary
+        global function (_orb()).
+
+        * tao/marshal.h: Moved all ACE_Singleton<> typedefs into
+        singleton.h.  See comment on tao/corba.h for more information.
+
+        * tao/iioporb.h: Removed unnecessary TAO_ORB singleton.  This is
+        now assumed by TAO_ORB_Core instances.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Added CORBA::POA_ptr for upward compatibility.
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Added Orb_Core.[hi] to the appropriate places.
+        Moved iiop{orb,obj}.i inclusions around and moved typedef'ing of
+        all ACE_Singletons into singletons.h, which must be #included
+        AFTER all the inline files.  This eliminated all of the
+        used-before-declared-inline warnings.
+
+        * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,roa}.*: Updated
+        singleton usages to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated singleton usages
+        to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton.
+
+Wed Sep 17 12:26:56 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@CHA-CHA>
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp: Updated source file list.
+
+Mon Sep 15 16:52:28 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated references to oa()
+        to root_pos().
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected some adjustments made for Service
+        Configurator rework.
+
+        * tao/giop.h: Moved the def for TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile out of the
+        range of valid GIOP messages.
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Added special case for TAO_GIOP_Reply to break
+        out, and distinguished TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile from other errors by
+        setting errno.
+
+        * tao/boa.cpp: The complete reply header is now stuck into the
+        response stream...what a novel concept!
+
+Fri Sep 12 05:40:50 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * params.h: Renamed oa() method to be root_poa() in preparation
+        for the future.
+
+        * orbobj.cpp: Adjusted the FAKE_SVC_ENTRY macro to catch up to
+        recent changes in ACE.
+
+        * giop.*: Major surgery including elimination of GIOP as a giant
+        namespace (now only static methods are in it).  Changed names of
+        things to TAO_*.
+
+        * {encode,decode,iiopobj,invoke,roa}.*: Name changes resulting
+        from giop.cpp surgery.
+
+        * corbacom.h: Moved TAO_opaque decl into here.
+
+        * corba.h: Re-ordered the inline #includes so that the stuff that
+        is ALWAYS inlined is included prior to the stuff that's only
+        inlined when __ACE_INLINE__ is turned on.
+
+        * connect.*: Modified handle_input() substantially.  Added 3
+        template methods: read_message, handle_message, and send_response.
+
+        * {cdr,marshal,object,typecode}.h: Removed the old "always include
+        inlines" hackery.
+
+        * boa.*: Added handle_request() method.
+
+Wed Sep 03 06:15:00 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/default_client.cpp:  Added conditional sections around the code for setting the
+        socket options for VxWorks.  VxWorks does not support a 64K buffer size.
+
+Tue Sep 02 18:32:12 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp:  Added include for Service_Repository.h to orbobj.h
+
+        * tao/debug.cpp: Removed the TAO_NEEDS_UNUSED_VARIABLES #defines
+        around the debug_stream declaration.  debug_stream is used by
+        dmsg_filter in debug.cpp.  Changed SYSTEM_EXCEPTION to
+        CORBA::SYSTEM_EXCEPTION.
+
+        * tao/default_client.cpp: Removed extra parameter from
+        ACE_Hash_Map_Entry #pragma instantiate statement.
+
+        * tao/objtable.cpp: Deleted pragmas for instantiating ACE_Guard,
+        ACE_Read_Guard, and ACE_Write_Guard to eliminate duplicate
+        instantiations.  Also, removed the instantiations from
+        ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION for the same reason.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added a typecast to void * in argvec_shift
+        method.
+
+        * tao/default.bld - Modified VxWorks Build File to change template
+        instantiation modes.
+
+        * tao/tao.bld - Added default_client.cpp, default_server.cpp,
+        client_factory.cpp, and server_factory.cpp to the VxWorks build
+        file.
+
+        * tao/tao.dsp - Added default_client.cpp, default_server.cpp,
+        client_factory.cpp, and server_factory.cpp to the Win NT project
+        file.
+
+Tue Sep  2 07:31:45 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): VxWorks doesn't use
+        ACE_Service_Config for now; the default factories are used.  The
+        Service Repository is still used, but the appropriate values are
+        "stuffed" in manually.
+
+Sat Aug 30 17:07:18 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Thruput: First attempt at ACEifying it and removing the
+        tremendous amount of unnecessary stuff that was in there. This
+        modified version still needs testing on other platforms.
+
+Fri Aug 29 10:59:34 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Makefile (TAO_ROOT): FINALLY corrected the default
+        definition of TAO_ROOT.
+
+Thu Aug 28 14:04:44 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.i (CORBA_ORB): Removed assertion that was incorrect
+        b/c our ORB object is a singleton and not dynamically allocated,
+        thus the refcount can only reach zero at the end of its life.
+
+        * tao/typecode.cpp (TC_Private_State): Relocated the delete of
+        tc_discriminator_type_ to be after the deletion of the label list.
+        This is because the discriminator will be inside each of the
+        CORBA::Any instances within the label list, and deleting it before
+        deleting the label list results in extreme badness.
+
+        * tao/typecode.* (operator delete): Added CORBA_TypeCode::operator
+        delete() to simplify deletion of both automatically and
+        dynamically allocated instances of CORBA_TypeCode.  This fixes the
+        problem of freeing non-heap memory.
+
+        * tao/nvlist.h (CORBA_NamedValue): Initialized refcount_ in the
+        CTOR.
+
+Mon Aug 18 16:39:40 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Makefile for TAO compiler:
+         (SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not
+          work on all platforms, notably HP-UX.
+
+Mon Aug 18 16:39:29 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Makefile:
+        * tests/Demux_Test/CodeGen/Makefile:
+         (SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not
+          work on all platforms, notably HP-UX.
+
+Sun Aug 17 16:53:42 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/Orbeline/client/Profile_Timer.h:
+        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.cpp:
+        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.h:
+        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.cpp:
+        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.h:
+        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.h:
+        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.cpp:
+        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.h:
+        We no longer use timestruct_t in ACE, it is a SYSVism; we use
+        timespec_t instead.
+
+Sat Aug 16 01:11:56 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Added this as an example of an
+        application's service config configuration file.  It also serves
+        as the documentation for various strategy factory options at the
+        moment.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Options parsed by the ORB are now
+        -ORBsvcconf <filename>    specifies the service configurator
+                                  file to be used
+        -ORBdaemon                turn this into a daemon
+        -ORBdebug                 turns debugging on in the service
+                                  configurator
+
+        BOA_init() now sets the itself in the TAO_OA_Parameters singleton.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Changed client_factory(), server_factory(), and
+        params() to return pointers rather than references.
+
+        * tao/{roa,giop}.cpp: Updated code that uses the
+        CORBA::ORB::client_factory() to deal with the fact that it now
+        returns a pointer rather than a reference.
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp (init): This method now properly
+        initializes the contained reactive and threaded strategies so that
+        they're actually usable!
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Added #endif comments.
+
+Wed Aug 13 17:42:39 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Converted to the CORBA:: namespace.
+
+        * tao/default_server.h: Eliminated a few strategy accessors since
+        they aren't provided by this implementation.
+
+        * tao/default_server.cpp: Made this compile.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Slight reformatting of code.  More importantly,
+        added 'static' to the decl of ORB_init().
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Added fake comment to trigger C++ mode.
+
+        * tao/any.h: Added #endif comments.
+
+Tue Aug 12 22:37:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{any,typecode,cdr}.h: Finished appeasing the compiler gods
+        so that we can remove the ACE_INLINE hack.  Things now seem to be
+        in order.
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Got all the frigging header *.i files #included in
+        the right order so that the GCC compiler stops complaining.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: We had method definitions that were defined inline
+        within the giop.h file.  This was causing problems for GCC, which
+        kept warning that methods in the cdi.i file were being used before
+        being inlined.  I've fixed this by creating a giop.i file.
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Add #include files should be prefixed by "tao/".
+        I've fixed this in the release.
+
+Tue Aug 12 16:23:17 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/any.i: Added a missing replace() method used by overloaded
+        operators.
+
+        * tao/{any,cdr}.h: Added conditional ACE_INLINE before the decl
+        for a few methods whose usage in other inlined methods appears
+        prior to their definition.
+
+        * tao/default_client.cpp: Eliminated names of unused arguments to
+        stop the compiler from complaining.
+
+        * tao/server_factory.cpp: Properly scoped return type names for
+        several methods.
+
+        * tao/{typecode,decode,deep_copy,debug}.cpp: Bracketed unused
+        variables with #if defined(TAO_NEEDS_UNUSED_VARIABLES)/#endif;
+        this leaves them around for right now in case they're important.
+
+        * tao/client_factory.i (connector): Properly scoped return type's
+        name.
+
+        * tao/{client_factory,default_client}.cpp: Added necessary
+        template instantiations.
+
+        * tao/{typecode,cdr}.h: Added conditional ACE_INLINE in front of
+        inlined methods to appease the compiler gods.
+
+        * tao/boa.cpp (dispatch): Declared argument unused to get rid of
+        warnings.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Moved #include of sequence.h before the decl for
+        class CORBA.
+
+Sun Aug 10 10:58:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/client_factory: Moved the template specializations from the
+        *.cpp file into the *.i file in order to get this stuff to link
+        without multiply defined symbols.  Thanks to Brian Mendel for
+        giving me the idea to do this.
+
+        * tao/client_factory.cpp: Added a template specialization for
+        ACE_Hash_Addr.
+
+Sun Aug 10 08:56:20 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * CORBA_ to CORBA:: transformation complete. All the files in the
+        TAO/tao distribution have been affected. The most notable changes
+        are:
+        (1) A file called "tao/corba.h" is now the master file. All *.cpp
+        files include *just* this file and nothing else.
+
+        (2) "tao/corbacom.h" is the file that defines the CORBA namespace
+        i.e., class CORBA. Individual CORBA classes such as TypeCode, BOA,
+        etc are now defined inside the CORBA namespace. This will allow
+        users and developers to use CORBA::TypeCode as opposed to the
+        previous CORBA_TypeCode. Instead of nesting the classes, however,
+        we use typedefs to define individual CORBA classes inside class
+        CORBA e.g., typedef CORBA_TypeCode TypeCode;
+
+        (3) All *.i files are included at the end of "tao/corba.h" and
+        nowhere else. However, if __ACE_INLINE__ isnot defined, then each
+        individual *.i file is not yet included in their corresponding
+        .cpp file. This will be done next.
+
+        * TAO/tests/Demux_Test: Included code that tests various
+        demultiplexing strategies in TAO. At this point, however, the code
+        will not work because of changes in TAO. This will be done
+        next. A README file provides additional details.
+
+        * TAO/Benchmark: A suite of benchmarking tests have been
+        included. This is still in the preliminary stages of
+        development. The idea is to compare various aspects of CORBA such
+        as marshaling overhead, demux costs, throughput, latency, and
+        others for a range of ORBs including TAO. Since there are
+        differences in programming different ORBs, this suite tries to
+        abstract out all the common features or atleast provide a uniform
+        interface so that minimal efforts are required to port an
+        application from one ORB to another.
+
+        Benchmark/benchmark: This directory contains thecommon features
+        Benchmark/Marshal_Test: Tests marshaling overhead in 3 ORBs -
+        Orbix, VisiBroker, and TAO. More will be added. There are a few
+        problems getting DSI to work. The tech support at IONA and
+        VisiBroker have been contacted.
+
+Sat Aug  9 14:05:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao: Continued to clean up all the code so that it is more
+          consistent with ACE programming style.
+
+        * tao/orbconf.h: Cleaned up a lot of the unnecessary #defines.
+
+        * tao/default_server.h: Make sure we inherit from
+          TAO_Server_Strategy_Factory, not TAO_Server_Factory.
+
+        * tao/server_factory.cpp: Moved all the inline methods to be
+          non-inline since this code will always be dynamically bound.
+
+        * tao/client_factory.cpp: Cleaned things up a bit.
+
+Sat Aug  9 12:37:05 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/corba.h:  Deleted include for xdr.h from corba.h.  xdr.h
+        is obsolete.
+
+        * tao/objtable.cpp:  Deleted pragmas for instantiating ACE_Guard,
+        ACE_Read_Guard, and ACE_Write_Guard to eliminate duplicate
+        instantiations.  The templates are instantiated by ACE.  Can these
+        templates also be removed from the
+        ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION section as well?
+
+        * tao/default.bld: Added build file for VxWorks.
+
+        * tao/tao.bld: Added build file for VxWorks.
+
+Fri Aug  8 14:25:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.*: Updated various methods to use the new
+        dynamically-linked strategy factories discussed below.
+
+        * tao/default_client.*: This file now contains the default client
+        strategy factory which is (a) dynamically linkable by the service
+        configurator and (b) can be configured by flags passed in via
+        service configurator.
+
+        * tao/client_factory.*: This file now contains the abstract base
+        class for the client strategy factory.
+
+        * tao/default_server.*: This file now contains the default server
+        strategy factory which is (a) dynamically linkable by the service
+        configurator and (b) can be configured by flags passed in via
+        service configurator.
+
+        * tao/server_factory.*: This file now contains the abstract base
+        class for the server strategy factory.
+
+        * tao/params.*: Renamed DEMUX_STRATEGY enum to TAO_Demux_Strategy
+        and put it at global scope instead of within TAO_OA_Parameters.
+
+        * tao/svc.conf.eg: Created this file to serve as an example of
+        various lines one might find in an application's svc.conf.
+
+Thu Aug  7 09:51:31 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * factories.cpp: Incorrect use of ACE_ASSERT in
+        TAO_Server_Factory::object_lookup_strategy removed.
+
+        * objtable.cpp: The octet sequence object key was being cast into
+        a char* resulting in undefined behavior at times due to the lack
+        of a NULL character to terminate it. Changes were made in the bind
+        and find methods of TAO_Active_Demux_Table.
+
+Thu Aug 07 03:52:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.8, released Thu Aug 07 03:52:31 1997.
+
+Thu Aug  7 00:43:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/typecode.cpp: A couple of errors involving TAO_CONST crept
+        in when Brian checked in his code.  I fixed these.
+
+Wed Aug  6 18:28:41 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp (main): Corrected the format
+        specifications when timing was printing out from %ld to %d.  For
+        some reason this never caused a problem on other platforms.
+
+Wed Aug  6 17:27:44 1997  Brian R. Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>
+
+        * tao/typecode.h: Removed qualified name in typecode.h to eliminate
+          compiler warnings by the GHS compiler.  Line 297.
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp: Changed wchar_t* to CORBA_WChar* to eliminate
+          compiler errors on GHS compiler.  Lines 142, 216, 729, 1371, and 1475.
+
+        * tao/typecode.cpp: Deleted unreachable break statements at lines
+          429, and 477, 904, and 947.
+
+Wed Aug  6 16:31:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/*: Changed 'const' to 'TAO_CONST' in contexts where the
+        const didn't make sense.  For example, this occurred in situations
+        where methods declared their return type as 'const CORBA_String',
+        which does not translate to 'const char*' but rather 'char*
+        const'.
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Added #define for TAO_CONST.  See above for
+        explanation.
+
+        * tao/{connect,factories,giop,iiopobj,marshal,objtable,
+        optable,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Removed errant trailing semi-colon on all
+        the #pragma instantiate directives.
+
+Wed Aug  6 13:56:40 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{connect,factories,giop,iiopobj,marshal,objtable,
+        optable,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Changed explicit template instantiations
+        to use the new ACE enabling macro as well as adding the #pragma
+        instantiate to placate Edison Design Group compilers.
+
+        * tao/cdr.h: Changed default for CDR CTOR marshal factory to
+        reflect the new name of the default marshal factory variable.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB_init): Inserted call to
+        TAO_Marshal::initialize().
+
+        * tao/marshal.*: Added TAO_Marshal class to scope static
+        initialization methods for the marshalling engine.
+        TAO_DEFAULT_MARSHAL_FACTORY has moved inside of this.
+
+Sun Aug  3 13:12:03 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO: Continued to improve the formatting of these
+        tests.
+
+Sat Aug  2 13:55:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO: Cleaned up some of the formatting so that
+        it is easier to read.
+
+Thu Jul 31 16:19:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Removed incorrect #include "tao/corba.h" in this
+        file.  Bad form.
+
+Thu Jul 31 15:19:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/*.{h,i,cpp}: Changed all #include of specific
+        header files to include the application-level "tao/corba.h".
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/Makefile (BIN): Removed test1_svr and test1_clnt
+        for now until we can get them working again.  They stopped working
+        after the BOA API changed and the non-standard get_request()
+        method removed.
+
+        * tao/any.h: Inserted #includes which insure that this header file
+        is not position-dependent on other header files.
+
+        * tao/corba.h: Created this catch-all header file for APPLICATIONS
+        to use as a single entry point.  Currently it just includes all
+        TAO header files, but will eventually be pared down to only those
+        headers which warrant public exposure.
+
+Wed Jul 30 16:55:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/typecode.i (CORBA_TypeCode): Re-ordered member
+        initialization to correspond to declaration order.
+
+        * tao/{typecode,orbobj,optable,decode,cdr}.cpp: Added explicit
+        typecast to CORBA_ULong/unsigned long to eliminate warnings about
+        comparisons btw. signed and unsigned entities.
+
+        * tao/optable.cpp (bind): Put in explicit return type for
+        TAO_Active_Demux_OpTable::bind().
+
+Wed Jul 30 14:18:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/Makefile: Corrected automatic definition of TAO_ROOT and
+        fixed all dependencies on tao header/inline files.
+
+        * tao/{typecode,object}.i: Moved a few methods to the beginning of the file
+        so that the compiler KNOWS that they are inlined when it hits the
+        first reference to them later in the file.
+
+        * tao/object.cpp: Added an end-of-line to silence a very picky SGI
+        compiler.
+
+Wed Jul 30 10:05:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/connect.cpp: Removed a number of explicit template
+        instantiations that are already included in ACE.
+
+Wed Jul 30 14:20:18 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/boa.{i,h,cpp}: Removed the #include of "tao/objtable.h" and
+        instead moved the methods that needed it from boa.i to boa.cpp
+
+Wed Jul 30 13:58:02 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/boa.h: Added #include of "tao/objtable.h" since it is needed
+        in boa.i (which is included here when inlining is turned on)
+
+Wed Jul 30 10:05:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/boa.h: Removed the #include of "tao/objtable.h" which seems
+        to be unnecessary and may cause problems for template
+        specialization.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.i (IIOP_Object): Changed the second parameter to the
+        IIOP_Object constructor so that we can is a const
+        IIOP::ProfileBody &.  This prevents a compiler warning.
+
+        * tao/typecode.cpp (private_id): Removed unused variable status.
+
+        * tao/objtable.cpp (bind): Removed the temp variable, which
+        was unused.
+
+Tue Jul 29 19:31:11 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/boa.cpp (get_boa): Added casts of ACE_UINT32 so that we
+        don't have ambiguous calls to the constructor of ACE_INET_Addr.
+
+        * tao/deep_copy.cpp (deep_copy): Removed an unreachable return
+        value.
+
+Mon Jul 21 15:08:36 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.7, released Mon Jul 21 15:08:36 1997.
+
+Mon Jul 21 12:06:16 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/object.cpp: removed the #include of object.i since it will
+        always be #included in object.h
+
+Thu Jul 17 16:54:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.6, released Thu Jul 17 16:54:38 1997.
+
+Thu Jul 17 16:43:23 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{optable,objtable}.cpp: Updated the explicit template
+        instantiations at the end of these files to reflect the changes
+        that Andy made.
+
+Thu Jul 17 10:08:45 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/align.h: A very subtle error in "align_binary" was corrected. I
+        was assuming that align_binary is always called by
+        "ptr_align_binary". In the original inline function versions of
+        align_binary and ptr_align_binary, the function align_binary would
+        subtract 1 from the specified alignment that ptr_align_binary
+        provided. Since I assumed that "align_binary" would always be
+        called by "ptr_align_binary", I subtracted the 1 in
+        ptr_align_binary and passed the result to "align_binary". This
+        caused all sorts of problems for application code that directly
+        called "align_binary". This error has been fixed. The macros for
+        align_binary and ptr_align_binary are now exactly as the original
+        inline functions.
+
+        * tao/any.{h,cpp}: Added comments. In addition, in the code for
+        Any::replace, we check if "_value" exists before trying to
+        DEEP_FREE it. Otherwise this was resulting in a segmentation fault
+        violation.
+
+        * tao/boa.{h,i}: Added comments and changed "release" to CORBA_release
+
+        * tao/cdr.{h,cpp}: Added some comments and removed some stuff that was
+        under #if 0 .. #endif
+
+        * tao/corbacom.h: Added lots of comments for the CORBA_String_var class
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::decode to work, added comments.
+
+        * tao/encode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::encode to work, added comments.
+
+        * tao/factories.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Removed "void
+        object_lookup_strategy" method since we do this in the parameters
+        class. Added code that will use a user defined lookup strategy if
+        the corresponding flag is set. This needs to be tested.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: In the allocation and deallocation of the buffer
+        for object key, we now use "new/delete" instead of "malloc/free".
+
+        * tao/interp.cpp: commented out a line that decremented 4 from the
+        offset provided for indirected typecodes. I guess this was plain
+        hack to get some broken things to work.
+
+        * tao/objtable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added code that will use
+        template specialization for the dynamic hashing case. In addition,
+        improved the destructors of the classes since previously, these
+        were not releasing occupied memory.
+
+        * tao/optable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added template
+        specialization for dynamic hashing scheme. Made dynamic hashing
+        scheme the default. Added a new definition for "struct
+        TAO_operation_db_entry". The idea is that an IDL compiler will
+        generate a database of operations and their corresponding
+        skel_ptrs. Such a database is now passed to teh constructors of
+        the operation lookup tables. This way, only one instance of such
+        lookup tables can be shared by any number of objects implementing
+        the same interface.
+
+        * tao/params.{h,i,cpp}: Made dynamic hashing the default. Added a hook
+        by which users can supply their lookup strategies. *Needs testing*.
+
+        * tao/typecode.{h,i,cpp}: Added comments and many changes. The private
+        state's constructor now takes an argument that is a TCKind
+        representing the TypeCode kind of the object of which we are the
+        private state. Removed "child_free". Instead, we introduced a
+        destructor for the private state that frees all the
+        children. Another important change is to the constructor of the
+        TypeCode class. We pass a "parent" pointer, if any, to the
+        constructor. All children typecodes will share the octet buffer of
+        the parent. Only freestanding typecodes will allocate octet
+        buffers. We have a new data member called "non_aligned_buffer_"
+        because the buffer we allocate may not be aligned on a 4 byte
+        boundary. As a result, we may start using the buffer at a shifted
+        position to the right. However, we do not want to lose a handle to
+        the original buffer that was allocated because at the time of
+        freeing, this pointer needs to be freed.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO: Modified a few files (method_db.i, cubitS.cpp)
+        so that they use the modified optable and objtable classes. Added
+        a README file to indicate how to run the example.
+
+        * tests/Thruput_test: Modified virtually all the files to make it
+        work with the latest TAO release and its include files. Also,
+        changes similar to Cubit were necessary due to changes in the
+        objtable and optable classes.
+
+Wed Jul 16 14:17:01 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/params.*: Eliminated unnecessary
+        ACE_LACKS_STATIC_DATA_MEMBER_TEMPLATES checks from
+        TAO_OA_Parameters (unnecessary b/c it's not a template).  Also
+        corrected the type of TAO_OA_Parameters::ace_singleton_lock_.
+
+Wed Jul 16 11:34:36 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/boa.cpp: Removed some unused code.
+
+        * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added explicit check for prior inclusion
+        of ace/OS.h, with an error being produced if it's not included.
+        This will help keep me honest and remember to always include OS.h
+        beforehand, since I do most of my development on non-WIN32
+        platforms.
+
+        * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Added #include "ace/OS.h" before every inclusion
+        of <objbase.h>.  This is required on WIN32 platforms because
+        objbase.h eventually ends up including <winsock.h>, which is the
+        wrong version of winsock from what ACE requires.  Thus, by
+        including OS.h prior to objbase.h, objbase.h ends up not trying to
+        include a winsock header.
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added missing #include for tao/debug.h.
+
+Wed Jul 16 10:55:55 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/PC_Install.bat: removed it since it isn't needed anymore
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp: Changed include path and removed calling of
+          PC_Install.bat
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: Changed include path
+
+Tue Jul 15 16:13:53 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.cpp: Added missing calls to Release()
+        after QueryInterface() calls.  The tip-off that this wasn't
+        happening was the fact that, upon client exit, there were upwards
+        of 15 references to the object references.  Now it's only 5-7
+        (more work to go).
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...".
+        Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header
+        inclusion in certain files.
+
+        * tao/compat/*.h: Changed the guts of these files so that they
+        work more like their "real" counterparts in the VC++ 5.0.  This
+        should encourage compatibility.  Note that, unlike the previous
+        files, objbase.h MUST be included before initguid.h; this is
+        consistent with the model on WIN32.
+
+        * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...".
+        Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header
+        inclusion in certain files.
+
+        * tao/giop.cpp: Removed get_request() crufty old code.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Backed out many prior special-code additions
+        for defining IIDs.  Hopefully the need for these is negated by
+        changes elsewhere in the "compat" files.
+
+        * tao/object.cpp: Corrected the conditional compilation switch
+        used to determine if we define IID_IUnknown.  This now happens
+        whenever WIN32 isn't defined, instead of before when it was only
+        on unix or vxworks platforms.
+
+        * tao/Makefile: Eliminated the need to copy files into a "proto/"
+        directory; now, everything is built into and used from the "tao"
+        directory.
+
+        There is also a new, optional, environment
+        variable--TAO_ROOT--which should be set to the ".../TAO"
+        directory.  If it's not set, the Makefile will set it to
+       WRAPPER_ROOT/TAO.
+
+        Lastly, libcorba.* has changed to libTAO.*.
+
+        * tao/orb.h: Eliminated many header files which had been
+        explicitly included here and were causing all manner of problems
+        with circular includes.  Library components must now be careful to
+        include appropriate headers for all components they use, and we
+        will likely have to create a corba.h file for clients to use.
+
+Fri Jul 11 12:12:40 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/TAO.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll in the release
+          version
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll
+          and tao-r.dll for the release versions.
+
+Thu Jul 10 15:47:24 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * docs/: Removed the following obsolete files: README.apm,
+        BUILDING, and TESTS.
+
+        * tao/params.*: Moved the instance() methods into the .cpp from
+        the .i, as well as the declaration for the singleton locks.
+        Having the singleton locks declared in the .i file caused much
+        consternation when ACE inlining was turned on.
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: #ifdef'd the IID_STUB_Object declaration added
+        a few days ago so that it happens one way on NT, and another in
+        the rest of the Universe.  I would have preferred to find a more
+        general solution, but didn't find one quickly enough to satisfy my
+        current requirements.
+
+        * tao/roa.*: Removed get_request() method.  This should improve
+        our McCabe scores ;-)
+
+        * tao/boa.h: Removed get_request() method.
+
+Wed Jul  9 14:44:31 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO-Install: Added installation instructions for NT
+
+Tue Jul  8 20:52:06 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/PC_Install.bat: Made it very quiet.
+
+        * tao/params.{cpp,h,i}: Changed TAO_OA_PARAMS from a
+          ACE_Singleton to a plain singleton by just integrating the
+          ACE_Singleton code into the class.
+
+Tue Jul  8 14:27:47 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/except.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to SYSEX macro
+
+        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: changed declaration of IID_STUB_Object
+          to include ACE_Svc_Export
+
+        * tao/stub.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to IID_STUB_Object
+
+Tue Jul  8 12:44:14 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Put the "*" in before the comment since it is
+          supposed to be there.  Put a space between it and the comment
+          to get rid of the warning which VC was giving originally.
+
+Tue Jul  8 10:21:27 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/typecode.cpp: Changed a few loop counters from int to
+          CORBA_ULong to get rid of unsigned/signed comparison warnings
+
+        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Got rid of a "*" before a comment.  Looked like
+          a typo
+
+        * tao/PC_Install.bat: Replaced "#...." with "rem ...."
+
+Mon Jul  7 20:59:05 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_{svr,clnt}.cpp (main): Added template
+          specialization code and updated the formatting.  Thanks to Arturo
+          Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+        * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_svr.cpp (main): Added the -i options to
+          getopt().  Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for
+          reporting this.
+
+        * TAO/tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Added a
+          #define for M_UNIX.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
+          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.5, released Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997.
+
+Sun Jul  6 00:10:28 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao: Fixed all the code so that we put ACE_MT around all the
+          ACE_GUARD_RETURN macros.
+
+        * tao: Updated all of TAO to make sure we use [] when deleting
+          arrays in order to avoid memory leaks.  This looks like lots of
+          sloppiness left over from the original SunSoft IIOP code.
+
+Sat Jul  5 16:12:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/{any,iiopobj,nvlist,principa,request,roa,svrrqst,typecode}.cpp:
+          Fixed a double-deletion of a lock.
+
+        * tao/typecode.i: Cleaned up lots of minor warnings with the code
+          that are only revealed when running GCC.  The code should now
+          compile almost completely cleanly with -wall.
+
+        * tao/typecode.{i,h}: Changed the name of TC_PRV_State to
+          TC_Private_State.
+
+        * tao: Replaced ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX so that the
+          code will compile on non-threaded and threaded platforms alike.
+
+        * tao/marshal.cpp: Added template specializations for the Marshal
+        primitives.  Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for
+        reporting this.
+
+        * tao/Makefile (LDLIBS): Replaced -lcorba with -lACE so that we no
+        longer have problems with circular link dependencies.  Thanks to
+        Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO version 0.0.4, released Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997.
+
+Sat Jul  5 12:39:57 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao: All throughout TAO I removed the direct use of system
+        include files in lieu of using ace/OS.h.
+
+        * tao/{orbobj,typecode}.cpp: orb.h must be included before others
+        include files. Previous includes prevent correct use of ACE config
+        flags, therefore, I removed them.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
+        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+        * tao/{debug,roa}.cpp: changed _POSIX_THREADS to ACE_HAS_PTHREADS.
+        Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting
+        this.
+
+        * tao/decode.cpp (decode): The casting (CORBA_ULong) kind is
+        unnessary and wrong so I removed it.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
+        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+        * tao/debug.cpp (emit_prefix): Changed line 99 from
+
+        #define emit_prefix (stream) ...
+
+        to
+
+        #define emit_prefix(stream) ...
+
+        The blank character prevent after macro name (emit_prefix) prevent
+        correct definition.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
+        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+Sat Jul  5 01:04:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/tao/xdr.cpp: Removed unistd.h and string.h from the xdr.cpp
+          file since those aren't necessary.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
+          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.
+
+Fri Jul  4 00:18:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tao/roa.h: Removed derogatory COMments ;-).  Thanks to Anton van
+          Straaten <anton@appsolutions.com> for reporting this.
+
+Thu Jul  3 16:16:14 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Added ACE_Svc_Export to a couple of declarations to make NT
+          happier
+
+Thu Jul  3 13:43:20 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Added Visual C++ 5.0 project and workspace files for the TAO
+          library and Cubit test
+
+Wed Jul  2 12:44:42 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * TAO/tests: Moved tests from TAO/IIOP/tests to TAO/tests
+
+Wed Jul 02 00:20:28 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Compiled the first alpha release of TAO on Solaris just
+          to make sure it still works.  So far, so good... hence,
+          the first alpha release is out the door!
+
+Tue Jul  1 23:35:53 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * VERSION: Added a VERSION file, starting at version 0.0.0...
+
+Tue Jul  1 23:00:15 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Added a new tests directory with the Cubit and TTCP
+        examples. The older test directory will be deleted soon.
+
+        In addition, the tc_constants in the tc_constants.cpp  file are
+        declared with an ACE_Svc_Export to make the Win NT compiler
+        happy. Extern declarations in typecode.h had the same changes.
+
+        * Updated the PC_install.bat file. In addition, there was one more
+        warning in typecode.cpp (Win NT compiler) that was fixed. Finally,
+        in the the tc_const.cpp file, the ACE_Svc_Export was used
+        accidently. This has been fixed.
+
+        * A number of files were updated with ACE_Svc_Export so that
+        variables and classes do not remain unresolved for Win32
+        platform. Similarly, Irfan had sent me a list of warnings that the
+        Win NT compiler was giving. These are fixed.
+
+        * marshal.*: Changed the way make_marshal_object works. Instead of
+        having a switch statement, we index into a private table of
+        marshal objects using the TypeCode _kind field. MarshalFactory now
+        maintains this private table.
+
+Mon Jun 30 17:39:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Added a new README file and a COPYING file that explains the
+        contents of TAO and clarifies its copyright status.
+
+Sun Jun 29 10:06:50 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * marshal.*: Added CORBA_Environment as a parameter to
+        make_marshal_object factory method. The reason for doing this was
+        to enable inlining of the CDR::encode and CDR::decode methods.
+
+        * typecode.*: Changed the way typecodes get deleted. Constant
+        typecodes are now owned by the ORB and their private state freed
+        when the ORB dies. IDL generated typecodes are not owned by the
+        ORB and are the only ones whose refcount matters. Typecodes
+        belonging to the IDL generated typecodes are also not owned by the
+        ORB and there is no effect on their refcount. They get freed only
+        if the parent is destroying itself.
+
+        In typecode.i, methods such as length and content_type were not
+        getting inlined due to presence of switch statements. Converted to
+        if/else.
+
+        * interp.cpp: Bug fix: Had previously forgotten to update the
+        size/alignment of the private state of the typecode.
+
+Fri Jun 27 14:27:49 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * any.cpp: The deep_copy and deep_free optimizations applied. In
+        the previous release, I had forgotten to add these to the Any
+        constructor (that calls deep_copy) and Any destructor/replace
+        (that call deep_free).
+
+        * connect.cp, factories.cpp: Added code that hardcodes the socket
+        buffer sizes to 64K. This is a hack for the time being.
+
+Thu Jun 26 10:02:47 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Some more progress on IDL compiler. Generates the client and
+        server side files without much contents in it.
+
+Thu Jun 26 09:49:38 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Added a full range of optimizations to the TAO IIOP interpretive
+        marshaling engine. The static methods encoder and decoder have
+        been removed from the CDR class. Instead, separate classes for
+        marshaling have been created for each individual data type. The
+        CDR stream maintains a factory that returns an appropriate
+        marshaling object depending on the data type to be
+        marshaled. Files added include marshal.h, marshal.i, encode.cpp,
+        decode.cpp, deep_free.cpp, and deep_copy.cpp. The marshal.h file
+        defines classes for an abstract MarshalObject. The factory is
+        responsible to return a concrete specialized instance of the
+        MarshalObject.
+
+        * Updated the CORBA_TypeCode class so that it now provides all the
+        CORBA_2.0 compliant operations. These include length(),
+        content_type(), member_type(), member_label(),
+        discriminant_type(), id(), default_index(). The equal() operations
+        is still not implemented. In addition, precomputation
+        optimizations are applied to the TypeCode class. This includes
+        precomputing various parameters (if any) of a TypeCode. For
+        example, a struct TypeCode keeps track of the member count and
+        member types. As a result, it is not necessary to interpret the
+        CDR encapsulated stream to retrieve these parameters.
+
+        * At this time, there are some problems getting the Unions to work.
+
+Thu Jun 12 15:45:49 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Added explicit template instantiations
+        for ACE_Hash_Map_Manager<>.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.*: Finally got rid of all those methods that took
+        ACE_HANDLE as the argument.  Now, all those operate on
+        ACE_SOCK_Streams.
+
+Thu Jun  5 10:15:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Corrected output format in error message.
+
+Thu Jun  5 10:09:01 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added a new class to catch SIGINT and
+        terminate.  This was necessary to Quantify the server process.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.h: Added ACE_INLINE to forward decls of
+        CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil().
+
+Wed May 23 14:39:01 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{h,cpp}:  Added template specialization of
+        ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for char*'s.
+
+        * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp:  Fixed type_id to be of type CORBA_String_var.
+        Also, added a debug msg to print the object address to show the
+        object for which the request is made.
+
+        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp:  Added capability to create multiple Cubit
+        objects via command line options.  Added -n for number of objects and
+        -k for specifying a base name.  For instance, -k Beevis -n 2 creates
+        Beevis1 and Beevis2 objects.  The clnt can then specify a specific
+        object for the request as usual.
+
+Wed May 22 12:28:45 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp:  Deleted VxWorks specific sections.  Command
+        line is now working for VxWorks.
+        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp:  Deleted VxWOrks specific sections.  Command line
+        is now working for VxWorks.
+
+Wed May 22 11:31:42 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added better error checking and messages, and
+        performed general re-formatting.
+
+        * IIOP/test/method_db.i (initialize_method_db): Changed arg type
+        to use a pointer to the abstract class TAO_Operation_Table.
+
+        * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit::_skel_Cubit): Added better
+        error checking and messages.  Also defaulted to use the linear
+        object table implementation rather than the hashed to simplify
+        debugging.
+
+        * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved some code around so that more of the
+        code is common is less is specific to VxWorks and other platforms.
+        Also did general re-formatting.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable::find): Initialization
+        of the loop variable makes the loop work properly.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp (TAO_Dynamic_Hash_ObjTable::find):
+        Explicitly specified length of object key in CTOR for ACE_CString
+        because object keys are not zero-terminated.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added newlines to the end of all ACE_DEBUG()
+        messages.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/factories.cpp: Added template specializations for
+        ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr, TAO_Client_Connection_Handler>.
+
+Tue May 22 09:32:41 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Deleted #define old_value ACE_INLINE and
+        #define ACE_INLINE old_value lines. Added #undefs for ACE_INLINE
+        prior to redefines.  Changes required to compile on Windows NT.
+
+Tue May 20 14:47:46 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/cubitS.h: Removed forward decl of
+        TAO_Active_Operation_Table.
+
+        * IIOP/test/{cubitC,cubitS}.*: Changed include quoting characters
+        from [<>] to double-quotes.
+
+        * IIOP/test/Makefile: Removed cubit.o from clnt and svr target
+        (this has been subsumed by cubit[CS]).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Changed ACE_RW_Mutex to ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Inserted explicit template instantiations.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added optable to the Makefile.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Moved ~TAO_Operation_Table() into here.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.i: Moved find() and bind() into the cpp file.
+        Moved ~TAO_Operation_Table() into optable.cpp.
+
+Tue May 20 14:39:00 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * IIOP/test/*: Commited changes to Cubit Example as a current snapshot
+          of required changes.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/*: Changes required for header file includes.  Added
+          conditionals around _IIOP_BUILD_
+
+Tue May 20 13:55:58 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/*: Commited this stuff in-process so that Brian
+        M. doesn't have to duplicate effort.
+
+Tue May 20 13:04:00 1997  Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/debug.cpp: Deleted spaces between flockfile (f) and
+        funlockfile (f).  Changed instances of debug_filter to
+        TAO_debug_filter.  Deleted space between emit_prefix (stream).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp Added undef(s) for ACE_INLINE and
+          do_undef_on_ACE_INLINE to eliminate redefinition problems.
+
+
+Tue May 20 10:55:09 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Fixed the automatic inclusion of cdr.i into
+        cdr.h by checking to see if __ACE_INLINE__ is not defined and, if
+        so, defining ACE_INLINE to be "inline" (we tidy up the namespace
+        immediately after the inclusion of cdr.i, too).  See source for
+        comments regarding why this is done.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable_Entry): Removed setting
+        of opname and skel_ptr to zero in CTOR since the CTOR for those
+        already insures this.  Moreover, NT's compiler was complaining
+        about ambiguous resolutions.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,giop,debug,boa}.cpp: Fixed reference to
+        debug_level so it's TAO_debug_level.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.h: Replaced inclusion of optable.h with forward
+        decl of TAO_Operation_Table.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Fixed names of methods that were changed
+        in the header but never changed in the source.  Amazing that
+        neither g++ nor Sun C++ caught these gaffs!  (Finally, the NT
+        compiler wins).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,object}.h: Changed the forward decls of
+        CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil() so that they are only in effect
+        when inlining is NOT being used.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Fixed incorrect passing of an object to
+        ACE_DEBUG() where an int is expected.
+
+Mon May 19 17:16:34 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Explicit cast rids us of a warning.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.h: Fixed CTOR name.  Once again I'm surprised
+        G++ didn't catch this.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Corrected erroneous method signature on
+        bind().
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Corrected erroneous method signature on
+        TAO_Linear_ObjTable::bind().
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{object,orbobj}.h: Forward declaration of
+        CORBA_release(CORBA_Object_ptr) and CORBA_is_nil(CORBA_Object_ptr)
+        were commented out.  I think this will cause a problem when we
+        DON'T inline, but I'll cross that bridge later.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{orb,factories}.h: Made inclusion of some headers
+        conditional on the compilation phase (building the library or an
+        application).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/cdr.i: Removed incorrect default arguments (g++ didn't
+        catch them).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Removed thread from the header list.
+
+Mon May 19 10:07:00 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Changed implementation of the operation
+        table and the parameters repository so that they use the right
+        class names.
+
+Sat May 17 17:18:38 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * First pass at providing a backend to the SunSoft's CORBA IDL
+        compiler front end.
+
+Fri May 16 17:30:31 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Corrected some comments, adjusted some
+        argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized
+        names, and moved short methods into a new inline file.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/stub.h: Corrected some comments and adjusted some
+        argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized
+        names.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Corrected syntax error and fixed up typedef.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.*: Removed extraneous comments and fixed
+        argument type on demux_strategy().
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Added comments, removed static pointer to
+        the ORB.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Removed extraneous comments and fixed
+        typedefs.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Fixed some syntax errors introduced by
+        reformating.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.cpp: Adjusted some argument type names to
+        reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Removed crufty #includes and adjusted some
+        argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized
+        names.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Moved short methods into inline file, added
+        IIOP_ORB_ptr typedef, and changed data member to conform to ace
+        standards.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Added the second CTOR that I forgot last
+        time and adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new,
+        namespace-sanitized names.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Added comments for various enums and
+        structures.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Switched various GIOP::Invocation methods to
+        use handler_->peer() for socket communication rather than going
+        through a file descriptor.  Also began the arduous (no other word
+        could explain it!) process of converting the homegrown debugging
+        message macro uses into ACE_DEBUG() uses.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Added explicit DTOR for TAO_Client_Factory
+        and completed all the darn explicit template instantiations.
+        Changed 'Svc_Handler' to 'TAO_Client_Connection_Handler', and
+        added the forgotton TAO_Client_Factory::connector() method.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/debug.*: Added 'TAO_' prefix to global debug state
+        variables and removed crufty #includes.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Change ROA_Handler to
+        TOA_OA_Connection_Handler (missed these the last time through).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp: Added responsive commentary.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added comments to the dispatching code.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{any,boa,request,typecode}.cpp: Removed references to
+        thread.h/connmgr.*.
+
+Thu May 15 19:08:16 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Finished updating all the reformatting.
+
+Thu May 15 15:54:49 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/principa.h: Corrected syntax error which eliminated the
+        _refcount data member.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{params,roa}.*: Updated class names to reflect ROA -->
+        TOA_OA pseudo-namespace change.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Updated CORBA_ORB_init() to return pointer to
+        new ORB singleton.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orb.h: Commented out some include files to eliminate
+        wierd circular dependencies.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Moved TAP_Operation_Table into here.  Put
+        OpTable* classes into the TAO_Operation_Table* pseudo-namespace.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.*: Moved TAO_Object_Table into here.  Moved
+        the Entry classes out of the scope of their respective concrete
+        operation tables, so they're now named <concrete_table>_Entry.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.*: Moved TAO_Operation_Table into optable.*, and
+        added a data member which carries a pointer to the ORB with which
+        the object is associated.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Added a singleton typedef for the ORB which
+        is what CORBA_ORB_init() will now return.  Modified
+        string_to_object() so that it sets the ORB on the CORBA_Object
+        that it returns.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{iiopobj,nvlist}.h: Added some responsive commentary.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Modified connection establishment code in
+        GIOP::Invocation::start() to utilize the client connection manager
+        in the ORB.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Put a TAO_Client_Connection_Handler* into
+        GIOP::Invocation in place of the client_endpoint.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Updated explicit template instantiations,
+        added TAO_Client_Connection_Handler.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.*: Renamed things--ROA_Parameters -->
+        TOA_OA_Parameters, ROA_Handler --> TOA_OA_Connection_Handler.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.h: Moved TAO_Object_Table into objtable.*, added
+        comments where appropriate.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{any,cdr,iioporb,invoke}.*: Re-formatting and creation
+        of inline method file.
+
+Tue May 13 21:51:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * Continued to update the format of the TAO source code so that it
+          will be consistent with the style used in ACE.
+
+Mon May 12 17:02:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Moved short method into an inline file.
+        Miscellaneous reformatting.  Adjustment to new type names
+        (prefaced by TAO_ for namespace protection).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.*: Moved short methods into an inline file.
+        Changed lookup()/register_op() to find()/bind() for consistency
+        with established ACE APIs.  Miscellaneous reformatting.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Moved short methods into an inline file.
+        Added CTOR for IIOP::Version and IIOP::ProfileBody.  Added
+        convenience CTOR for IIOP_Object where the profile can be
+        supplied.  Miscellaneous reformatting.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.*: Moved short methods into an inline file.  Changed
+        lookup()/register_obj() to find()/bind() for consistency with
+        established ACE APIs.
+
+        * headers: Added comments to force C++ mode in emacs for header
+        files, and changed SCCS version tag info to RCS version tag info.
+
+Wed May  7 14:49:46 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: Some bugs from the CORBA_String_var class
+        have been fixed. Thanks to Brian Mendel for noticing these.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: In CORBA_BOA::dispatch, the opname local
+        variable of type CORBA_String_var is changed to be of type
+        CORBA_String. This was because the String_var class would assume
+        ownership of the quantity assigned and delete it. Thanks again to
+        Brian Mendel for noticing this.
+
+Tue May  6 14:06:49 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: the register_obj's 2nd argument is changed from
+        CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: the return type for register_op method on
+        CORBA_Object is changed from void to int to be consistent.
+
+        Added a new method "get_subclass" to CORBA_Object that returns a
+        pointer to the subclass. Typeically, this would be pointer to an
+        object that implements an interface.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: @nd argument of register_obj changed
+        from CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: the type signature of "skeleton" is changed to
+        take CORBA_Object_ptr rather than CORBA_Object_ptr& as its 2nd argument.
+
+Mon May  5 20:28:54 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: commented out code that uses the "void
+        *context" field. It doesn't make any sense to have it.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: Added 2 pure virtual methods (shutting_down and
+        clean_shutdown).
+
+        In addition, the "register_obj" method was added. It was missing before.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: String_var's constructor bug is fixed. It
+        was trying to free storage that was never allocated.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that
+        retrieves the object name.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that
+        retrieves the object's name or key. This is for debugging purposes.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: There was an infinite loop in parsing the
+        options to BOA_init. Fixed.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Added the "get_name" virtual method.
+
+Sat May  3 22:45:23 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added code temporarily that invokes the
+        skeleton that is looked up. We still need to add code that will
+        handle the case when no match is found on the operation names.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: The register_obj method on TAO_Object_Table
+        now returns an integer indicating status of registering (-1 =>
+        failure, 0 for success).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: The register_op method on
+        TAO_Operation_Table now returns an integer code (O for success, -1
+        for failure).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: The register_obj method returns an
+        integer code representing either success or failure.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/optable.{hh,cpp}: Added new files that implement
+        concrete strategies for operation name lookup.
+
+Fri May  2 08:48:29 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Modified the signature of register_op on
+        TAO_Operation_Table to take a second argument to be a pointer to
+        the actual skeleton.
+
+        Thanks to Brian Mendel for reporting this.
+
+Thu May  1 16:46:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method that can set the parent
+        pointer.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.cpp: A hook has been provided in ROA_Factory to
+        enable the user to use a user-defined demux strategy.
+
+Wed Apr 30 22:00:51 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: Added two new files that define
+        different object demultiplexing strategies.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added objtable as additional source file to compile.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the
+        TAO_Object_Table.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the
+        TAO_Operation_Table.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: Added support for the -OAtablesize option
+        in the call to CORBA_ORB::BOA_init method.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support to ROA_Factory to return
+        a specific object lookup strategy.
+
+        *IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: The ROA constructor initializes its "objtable_"
+        private data member with the object lookup strategy returned by
+        ROA factory.
+
+Tue Apr 29 11:52:48 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/any.hh: Moved CORBA_Any_ptr declaration to orb.hh.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.{hh,cpp}: Renamed BOA to CORBA_BOA. The CORBA_BOA class
+        maintains a pointer to an abstract TAO_ObjectTable class. Concrete
+        classes inheriting from TAO_ObjectTable will provide strategies
+        for lookup.
+
+        Added virtual functions to do dispatch based on object key. In
+        addition, added a lookup method based on object key that delegates
+        the task of looking the object to the object table it maintains.
+
+        Changed the signature of typedef CORBA_BOA::dsi_handler to be pointer to
+        member function of class CORBA_BOA. Eventually, this will point to
+        the dispatch method of class CORBA_BOA.
+
+        Moved "struct Dispatch_Context" from roa.hh to boa.hh since we
+        want BOA to be a full fledged OA eventually and not remain an
+        abstract class as it is now. All other OA's such as ROA inherit
+        from BOA and only add extra functionality.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: There was a syntax error (missing comma)
+        in one of the ACE_DEBUG statements which has been fixed.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.{hh,cpp}: Added class CORBA_String_var as well
+        as the CORBA compliant CORBA_string_dup.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/except.hh: Moved CORBA_Exception_ptr declaration to orb.hh.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Added an abstract class
+        TAO_Operation_Table. CORBA_Object maintains a pointer to this
+        abstract class. The IDL compiler will eventually generate concrete
+        classes that employ different lookup strategies for operation name
+        lookup.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: Added forward declarations to all CORBA_*
+        classes. In addition, moved all the CORBA_*_ptr declarations here.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.{hh,cpp}: Added the CORBA compliant BOA_init
+        method to class CORBA_ORB. Users can now pass arguments to
+        BOA_init. Eventually, we want to make this method return any of
+        the specialized OA's depending on the arguments. Right now, we get
+        a pointer to the ROA.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i}: Added some more methods and enum
+        declarations to the ROA_PARAMS singleton.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/principa.hh: Moved the CORBA_Principal_ptr declaration
+        to orb.hh.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,cpp}: Moved some functionality to boa.hh. ROA
+        is now only a specialized form of BOA.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Moved the typedef for "skeleton" to orb.hh.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.{hh,cpp}: Had to rename BOA to CORBA_BOA.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/typecode.hh: Moved the CORBA_TypeCode_ptr declaration
+        to orb.hh.
+
+Tue Apr 22 23:30:19 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Added log message.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.cpp (concurrency_strategy): Uses reactive
+        strategy when appropriate.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.hh: Reactive strategy added.
+
+Tue Apr 22 21:03:15 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Changed erroneous ACE_GUARD calls to ACE_GUARD_RETURN
+        calls.
+
+Tue Apr 22 16:15:52 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Removed more POSIX thread calls.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Changed ForceSynchronousCancellation to
+        ACE_Synchronous_Cancellation_Required and made it use the ACE_OS
+        calls.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{typecode,svrrqst,request,principa,orbobj,nvlist,iiopobj,giop,except,any}.*:
+        Removed all vestiges of pthread mutexes...they are now
+        ACE_Thread_Mutexes.  This will likely have to change if we want to
+        compile something completely devoid of threads, but that's another
+        day.  Also, the mutexes have moved from being globals to being
+        members on the respective classes.  No files should be dependent
+        on thread.hh any longer.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Removed code obsoleted by use of
+        the Strategy_Acceptor.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{roa.cpp,connect.cpp},IIOP/tests/svr.cpp: Changes to
+        use new singletons described below.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.*: Changed ROA_Parameters and ROA_Factory to use
+        ACE_Singleton<>.  The singleton types are now named ROA_PARAMS and
+        ROA_FACTORY.
+
+Mon Apr 21 23:44:34 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp (ROA): Changed spelling of clientAcceptor_ to
+        client_acceptor_ to be consistent with ACE style conventions.
+
+Mon Apr 21 10:52:42 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved call to CORBA_ORB_init() prior to the
+        parsing of the command line args.  This got switched around during
+        porting to VxWorks.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Changed calls using clientAcceptor_to use APIs
+        vended by ACE_Strategy_Acceptor.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.hh: Moved default thread flags into ROA_Factory.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.*: Added ROA_Factory, a singleton which is the
+        beginning of an abstract factory dynamically producing runtime
+        strategies based on information found in ROA_Parameters.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Added call to ROA_Handler's base class
+        CTOR in initializer list.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.hh: Changed ROA_Handler's CTOR so that it can
+        take an optional ACE_Thread_Manager* arg.  This makes it
+        compatible with the CTORs for the base class.  Also changed base
+        class for ROA_Acceptor to ACE_Strategy_Acceptor.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Changed references to BOA_ptr from TOA_ptr.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/connect.*: ROA_Handler/ROA_Acceptor moved from roa.*
+        into here.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/params.*: ROA_Parameters moved from roa.* into here.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/boa.*: What used to be TOA is now BOA, and lives in
+        here.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Major restructuring required removal of all
+        classes (see other log entries) from here.  This file now houses
+        only the ROA class.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/{tcpoa.*,toa.*}: Removed because of name changes from
+        TCP_OA->ROA and TOA->BOA.
+
+Fri Apr 18 08:09:19 1997  Brian Mendel   <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * cdr.hh,corbacom.{hh,cpp},giop.cpp,marshall.cpp,typecode.cpp:
+        Changes required for WChar missed in earlier committed code.
+
+        * connmgr.cpp: Changes required for select statement.
+
+        * nvlist.cpp: Conditional include for memory.h added.  VxWorks
+        does not have memory.h.
+
+        * object.cpp: Added conditional for VXWORKS to define
+        IID_IUnknown.
+
+        * orbconf.hh: Minor tuning of the configuration file.
+
+        * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: Added VXWORKS conditional includes.
+
+        * toa.cpp: Added VXWORKS conditional includes.
+
+
+Mon Apr 15 17:01:00 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>
+
+        * roa.cpp: Added return statement to ROA_Handler::open(void*)
+        method.
+
+        * giop.cpp: Modified giop::read_buffer to replace undefined fc
+        with peer.get_handle().  Modified giop::incoming_message method
+        parameter list to match function prototype exactly.
+
+        * tcpoa.cpp: Replaced fd instances in debug messages with
+        peer.get_handle() calls.
+
+Mon Apr 14 13:45:54 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * roa.{hh,i,cpp},tcpoa.cpp,svr.cpp: Replaced ACE_ROA with
+        ROA_Parameters, which is a GoF-style singleton.
+
+Sun Apr 13 00:01:56 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * roa.cpp: Fix continuation condition in ROA_Handler::svc()'s loop
+        so that it doesn't stop after one iteration.  Also added some
+        debug messages.
+
+        * giop.cpp: Fixed some returns being called with no value.  This
+        should have been caught in the previous round of changes.
+
+Sat Apr 12 23:10:08 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: TCP_OA::handle_message() now returns a value
+        indicating how a message was handled.
+
+        * roa.cpp: ROA_Handler::handle_input() now returns a meaningful
+        value based on what TCP_OA::handle_message() returns.
+
+        * giop.{hh,cpp}: Added end-of-file detection on socket
+        connections, and that is now propagated all the way back up
+        through GIOP::incoming_message().  I don't know if I violated
+        something in the spec by doing this, but it was necessary.  I'll
+        look into it later.
+
+Thu Apr 10 11:49:44 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * giop.{hh,cpp}: Overloaded all methods dealing with connections
+        so that there are two, one taking a file descriptor as argument,
+        the other taking an ACE_SOCK_Stream.  Right now, the *_Stream
+        version simply forwards to the fd-based one.  I would have
+        preferred to get rid of the fd-based methods altogether, but we've
+        only converted the server runtime; the client is still using the
+        original sun code, which is effectively fd-based.  In the course
+        of doing this, I also simplified the decls for incoming_message by
+        creating typedefs for some of the function pointers passed as
+        args.
+
+        * orbconf.hh: Fixed the stupid auto-endian-ness detector
+        AGAIN...had my logic reversed!
+
+        * roa.cpp: Adjusted code in accordance with changes to tcpoa.hh.
+
+        * tcpoa.hh: Moved and renamed TCP_OA::dispatch_context to be
+        ::Dispatch_Context, and changed its endpoint member to be an
+        ACE_SOCK_Stream.
+
+        * roa.hh: Fixed handle_input() to use the underlying peer() data
+        member for reading data, rather than using its argument.  This is
+        so that when a different thread handles each connection,
+        handle_input() can simply be called repeatedly by svc().
+
+Wed Apr  9 16:19:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * tcpoa.cpp: Fixed a problem that G++ didn't notice regarding
+        changing the notion of endpoints in servers from server_endpoint
+        to an ACE_HANDLE.
+
+Wed Apr  9 15:43:37 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * svr.cpp: The -p option is gone, and -e takes its place and is
+        required.  This requires the user to specify not only the port
+        number, but also the IP address of on which the server should
+        listen for requests.  See ACE_INET_Addr documentation for valid
+        string formats for addresses.  Also, the -t option sets the "use
+        threads" global.
+
+        * orbconf.hh: Hopefully resolved the tension between MS and Unix
+        platforms in inferring endian-ness of the target platform based on
+        preprocessor defines.  We now check for i386, _M_X86, and vax
+        (yeah, like we really worry about that, but it's easy to do).
+
+        * roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support for spawning threads to handle
+        incoming requests.  This involves a state flag for whether or not
+        to use threads, calling activate() in ROA_Handler::open() if that
+        flag is set, and creating ROA_Handler::svc() that simply loops
+        calling handle_input().
+
+Tue Apr  8 11:14:57 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Moved setting of upcall(), forwarder(),
+        context(), etc. into here rather than in TCP_OA::TCP_OA(), which
+        is where I mistakenly stuck them a few days ago (duh!).
+
+        * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp: Removed setting of ACE_ROA::upcall(), which belongs
+        in the server code.  I got confused because the function names
+        were so similar: tcpoa.cpp contains ::tcp_oa_dispatcher(), and
+        svr.cpp contains ::tcpoa_dispatch().
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added forwarding function to ACE_ROA global namespace
+        hack.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/orbconf.hh: Fixed preprocessor checks that auto-detect
+        endian-ness of this processor.
+
+Mon Apr  7 21:08:24 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>
+
+        * IIOP/test/test1_{clnt,svr}.cpp: THESE HAVE NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO
+        USE ACE EVENT HANDLING!!  This round of changes explicitly
+        instantiates templates where required.
+
+        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Global function ::OA_listen() no longer
+        exists; its functionality is now fully contained within ::main().
+        If USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING is defined, a Reactor-based event loop
+        is used.  The original intent was to allow conditional compilation
+        to select btw. the original method and a Reactor-based method.
+        However, weaving that into the library proved far more difficult
+        than anticipated, so more than likely not defining
+        USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING will cause massive grief.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/toa.cpp: Changed call to TCP_OA::init() to reflect new
+        ACE_INET_Addr argument type.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp (TCP_OA): All initialization methods were
+        changed, specifically the CTOR and TCP_OA::init, to reflect the
+        introduction of ACE_INET_Addr.  Two side-effects of using
+        ACE_INET_Addr are that (1) a server can specify the address on
+        which it wants to listen and (2) best that I can tell, the server
+        MUST specify the address on which it wants to listen because
+        otherwise it won't be able to publish a rational IOR.  The event
+        loop is now changed to simply loop on Reactor::handle_events().
+
+        * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.hh (TCP_OA): Removed vestiges of this component's
+        use of the original connection management scheme.  Where
+        appropriate, hostnames and ports were replaces by ACE_INET_Addr,
+        endpoints by ACE_HANDLEs, etc.  One particularly nasty thing done
+        was to declare ROA_Handler as a friend so that handle_message()
+        can be called from ROA_Handler::handle_input(), which to me
+        exposes a hole in the original architecture wherein input is
+        "pulled" rather than waited-for.  We might need to re-think how
+        this is handled within TAO.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: These files contain the required
+        components to support the new server-side ACE-based
+        connection/event substrate.  The client side remains, as always,
+        using the connection mgmt scheme used by the original Sun IIOP
+        code.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added explicit template instantiation for
+        when this is needed.
+
+        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.hh: Now protects itself from multiple
+        inclusion.
+
