Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/ASX: Changed the behavior of Map_Manager::Map_Manager() - to allocate a default-sized buffer. - - * libsrc/Reactor/Reactor.C (dispatch): Made the poll-based Reactor - smarter about detecting POLLERR error conditions. When POLLERR - is detected, the Reactor now shutdown down that fd... - -Wed Dec 21 18:29:15 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/SPIPE_SAP: Changed the name of class SPIPE_Msg to - SPIPE_IO to reflect the fact that I/O over named pipes need not - be message-oriented... - - * Changed all occurrences of {SOCK,TLI,SPIPE}_Listener to - {SOCK,TLI,SPIPE}_Acceptor. This is a more accurate name for the - function these classes perform. In addition, it is easier to - explain in the context of the Acceptor and Connector patterns. - Note that the *.h files are also changed, as well. - - * Changed the implementation of {SOCK,TLI,SPIPE}_SAP so that there - is now a *_Connector class to go along with the *_Acceptor - class. The *_Connector is a factory that produces *_Stream - objects *actively*, in a similar way to how the *_Acceptor is a - factory that produces *_Stream objects *passively*. This makes - everything much more orthogonal, though it will break existing - code... The easiest way to fix existing code is to do the - following: - - 1. Find places in the code that define objects of - type SOCK_Stream, LSOCK_Stream, TLI_Stream, - or SPIPE_Msg (now called SPIPE_IO). - - 2. Replace #include "SOCK_Stream.h" with - #include "SOCK_Connector.h" (or whatever - C++ wrapper you have). - - 3. Replace definitions of the form: - - INET_Addr addr (port, host); - SOCK_Stream foo (addr); - - with - - INET_Addr addr (port, host); - SOCK_Stream foo; - SOCK_Connector con (foo, addr); - - If you don't want to have an extra variable named "con", - you can replace this with: - - INET_Addr addr (port, host); - SOCK_Stream foo; - SOCK_Connector (foo, addr); // Calls the constructor. - -Tue Dec 20 21:34:10 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Renamed the ./{libsrc,tests}/{Semaphores,Message_Queues} - directories to SV_Semaphores and SV_Message_Queues to better - reflect their true behavior and in order to prevent clashes with - the new ASX names. - - * libsrc/ASX: Renamed Queue to Task to better reflect its true - functionality. In addition, renamed Message_List to - Message_Queue. - -Mon Dec 19 23:04:52 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Changed "private" to "protected" in ASX/Message_List.h at the - request of Troy Warner (tnw1@core01.osi.com). - -Mon Dec 12 23:47:01 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP: changed the name of the global utility - function "bind_port()" to ace_bind_port() to avoid polluting the - global symbol namespace. - - * Fixed a descriptor leak in SOCK_Dgram::shared_open() and - SOCK_CODgram::shared_open(). The original version didn't - automatically close down the socket descriptor if bind failed. - The new version does close the descriptor down. - -Sat Dec 10 00:53:20 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Reactor/Reactor.C (mask_ops): Fixed a stupid bug... The - test should have been - - if (this->invalid_handle (handle) || - this->poll_handles_[handle].fd == -1) - - rather than: - - if (this->invalid_handle (handle) || - this->poll_handles_[handle].fd != -1) - - * libsrc/Reactor/Reactor: Modified the semantics of - Reactor::remove_handler() such that calling it with a value of - Event_Handler::DONT_CALL or'd into the Reactor_Mask instructs - the Reactor to remove the handler *without* calling the object's - handle_close() method! - -Fri Dec 9 12:53:31 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * include/Synch: some C++ compilers (e.g., Centerline) barf when - the see the following in an inline function: - - if (foo == bar) - { - errno = result; - return -1; - } - result result; - - I fixed this by doing the following: - - if (foo == bar) - { - errno = result; - result = -1; - } - result result; - -Wed Dec 7 22:23:47 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * include/Synch.h: Added additional methods in the Null_Mutex - class in order to be consistent with the RW_Mutex interfaces... - - * libsrc/ASX/Message_List: Added new a set of methods called - "try_enqueue_head" and "try_enqueue_tail" that will only insert - a message into the queue if it is not already full. If it is - full, return EWOULDBLOCK. - -Tue Dec 6 13:58:28 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Reactor/Event_Handler: added default values of -1 to the - handle_input(), handle_output(), and handle_exception() methods. - -Mon Dec 5 23:30:28 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/ASX/Message_List: Added a new method called set_length to - Message_Block. This method sets the length of the "active" - portion of the message. This is defined as the offset from - RD_PTR to WR_PTR. - -Sat Dec 3 20:40:53 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Threads/Synch: Added two new class called Write_Guard and - Read_Guard, which provide functionality a la the Guard class, - only that they acquire and release readers/writer locks. - - * libsrc/Threads/Synch: For interface uniformity with other - synchronization wrappers I added an acquire() method. This is - implemented as a write-lock to be on the safe-side... - -Fri Dec 2 13:33:39 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * include/Synch.i (Mutex::tryacquire): Modified the behavior of - Mutex::tryacquire so that it will return -1 and set errno to the - appropriate return value of tryacquire(3T) if various types of - "problems" occur (such as the Mutex already being held). - - * include/Message_List.i: Rearranged the order of the - Message_Block::get_rd_ptr and Message_Block::set_wr_ptr methods - to deal with inlining problems that some cfront-based C++ - compilers have... - - * libsrc/Reactor/Signal.[hi]: Changed set_handler/get_handler to - "handler" to avoid a collision with Rogue Wave libraries. This - new version is more consistent with other usage in ACE anyhow... - - * Modified the behavior of Service_Config::Service_Config() so - that it makes the initialize size of the Reactor be the same - size as the Service_Repository. This was done at the suggestion - of Bob Sayle and Steve Warwick at ARINC Research. - -Sun Nov 20 00:59:06 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/ASX/Message_List: Added two new methods - (is_full() and is_empty()) to the public interface - of Message_List. These methods check whether the queue is full - or empty *while holding the lock*. - - * libsrc/ASX/Queue.h: Made the svc() method a pure virtual - function. This is much cleaner than not doing it, particularly - when we've already got to define open(), close(), and put()... - - * Added a new method to the IPC_SAP/Addr inheritance hierarchy. - The method is called addr_to_string() and it converts the - address of a subclass (e.g., either UNIX domain or Internet - domain) into a string. This functionality is particularly - useful in parameterized types (such as Acceptor), which should - be oblivious of the type of communication domain they are - using... - - * Reorganized the ./apps/Logger/Service_Configurator_Logger - directory in order to reuse more code. Now, all the Acceptor - pattern classes have been moved to a new subdirectory called - ./libsrc/Acceptor. In addition, this code has been generalized - to work with the ASX framework! - -Sat Nov 19 15:19:19 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Released version 2.15.5 (added a couple of minor fixes and some - additional software to the release. In particular, I've added - the RPC++ C++ wrappers for Sun RPC. See the README file for - more info on this. - - * apps/Synch-Benchmarks: Reorganized all the synchronization tests - so that they would be easier to understand and extend. - - * include/sysincludes.h (ACE_NONBLOCK): Fixed a stupid typo in the - ./include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU file that accidentally - used ACE_NONBLOCKING instead of ACE_NONBLOCK... Jaysus - - * Fixed up the Service_Config.[Chi] source so that it no longer - allocates statically linked services via static variables. - Stacy Mahlon (mcs@contour.mayo.edu) recommended this change to - workaround bugs in compilers that fail to initialize static - objects appropriately. - -Tue Nov 15 11:55:03 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Fixed a portability problem in the ./libsrc/Service_Configurator - that was caused by certain compilers failing to initialize - global variables correctly. In particular, the Obstack object - ace_obstack is now a pointer that is allocated dynamically by - Service_Config.process_directive(). Thanks to Stacy Mahlon - (mcs@contour.mayo.edu) for noticing this! - -Mon Nov 14 12:16:14 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Threads/Thread.h: added C++ wrappers for - thr_getconcurrency() and thr_setconcurrency(). - - * Fixed a dumb typo in ./tests/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-nbclient.C - that failed to conditionally compile for different variants of - siginfo... - - * Added some test programs that benchmark the performance of - Solaris synchronization mechanisms. See ./apps/Synch-Benchmarks - for details... - - * Extended the methods of the Queue class to take advantage of the - new Message_List methods that perform timed waits! This - involves changing many of the existing methods in this class to - add an extra parameter of type timestruc_t *, which defaults to - 0. - - * Added some new comments in the - ./include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU file that indicate what - the various macros defined by the Makefile scheme actually mean. - This should help people who are porting to a new system... - - * Fixed a dumb bug in ./tests/Shared_Memory that directly included - system header files. Everything in ACE should include - "sysincludes.h" instead... Thanks to Stacy Mahlon - (mcs@contour.mayo.edu) for noticing this! - - * include/Memory_Pool.i (round_up): Fixed a typo where PAGESIZE - should have been ACE_PAGE_SIZE. - -Sat Nov 12 01:32:52 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Generalized the Shared_Memory_Pool class for Malloc so that it - doesn't require the base addresses for multiple processes to all - start at the same location. - - * libsrc/Service_Configurator/Thread_Spawn.i (Thread_Spawn): - - Fixed a stupid bug in the constructor. Note that we should - be checking if this->tm_ == 0, rather than != 0... - -Fri Nov 11 00:11:41 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Released version 2.15.4 (added a couple of minor fixes). - - * Added a new test program in the ./tests/ASX/Message_List - directory. This program illustrates how thread-safe - Message_Lists work using ASX. - - * libsrc/Threads/Thr_Manager.i: Added a new method called - insert_thr() to Thr_Manager that is used in conjunction with - Thr_Cntl::Thr_Cntl to make sure that a thread is added to the - Thr_Manager's table correctly. - -Thu Nov 10 20:14:11 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Log_Msg/Log_Record.C (print): Fixed the following very - subtle (and very stupid) bug: - - return ::fprintf (fp, this->msg_data_); - - if this->msg_data_ contains '%', then this call will - fail since fprintf tries to treat the percent sign as - a format code. The obvious fix is: - - return ::fprintf (fp, "%s", this->msg_data_); - - * libsrc/ASX/Message_List.i (is_empty): Fixed a braino that failed - to check if there was a 0-sized buffer in the list. It is now - possible to enqueue a 0-sized buffer, which is helpful for - things like signaling end of transmission by a producer. - - * libsrc/ASX/Message_List.C: Improved the robustness of the - Message_List abstraction by detecting the case where the newly - inserted Message_Block is a NULL pointer. Before, this would - crash the program, where now it returns -1 from the - enqueue_head() or enqueue_tail() methods. - - * libsrc/Threads/Synch.h: added timedwait_signal() and timedwait() - methods to class Condition. These are wrappers around the - cond_t cond_timedwait() function. - - * Improved the documentation of the class interfaces in the - Synch.h C++ wrapper for Solaris 2.x threads mechanisms. - - * Changed the name of class Condition methods wait_signal() and - timedwait_signal() to wait_alert() and timedwait_alert() to - remove confusion with UNIX signals and the regular condition - variable signal. - -Wed Nov 9 23:49:24 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/Addr/UNIX_Addr.i (UNIX_Addr): Fixed another - couple brainos in UNIX_Addr.i (thanks for Irfan - (ip1@cs.wustl.edu) for noticing this). - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/SOCK.i (get_local_addr): Fixed a braino - that didn't reset the Addr size after a call to getsockname(). - -Tue Nov 8 00:25:02 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Service_Configurator/Svc_Conf.y (create_service_type): - Fixed a bug on lines 323 and 324, and 330 and 331. The "#if - defined" needs to be INSIDE the "case" statements. Thanks to - mcs@contour.mayo.edu for finding this! - - * Improved the interfaces for all the synchronization wrappers so - that they can be given all the parameters for the underlying - SunOS 5.x *_init calls. Default values are given to keep the - normal usage concise... - -Mon Nov 7 21:41:13 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Changed all occurrences of Mutex_Rec to Recursive_Lock. This is - much more descriptive since by using templates, the recursive - logic applies to a number of synchronization mechanisms (e.g., - Semaphores, RW_Mutex, Mutex, Null_Mutex, etc.) rather than just - the Mutex class. - - * Changed all occurrences of Mutex_Block to Guard. This is more - standard terminology and reflects Booch's terms more closely, as - well. - -Sun Nov 6 14:31:44 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Majorly improved the modularity and structure of the Reactor - class. Much duplicate code has been coalesced and several new - features have been added. - - * Changed the name of the Reactor method set_ready() to - ready_ops(). Added a new method called mask_ops(). These - methods make it possible to manipulate the "dispatch masks" and - the "ready masks" (e.g., READ_MASK, WRITE_MASK, etc.) at a much - finer level of granularity without loss of efficiency or - correctness. - -Sat Nov 5 16:48:55 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Changed the name of three methods in the Semaphore class to - mirror the terms used for Mutex and RW_Mutex. This will help - support the use of semaphores along with templates (e.g., - Rec_Lock) much better... The old names were "wait", "trywait", - and "signal". The new names are "acquire", "tryacquire", and - "release." - - * Added a new class called Signal_Block in Signal.[hiC] This class - operates similar to Mutex_Block, in that it holds a set of - signals over the duration of a C++ statement block. The - constructor masks out the signals and the destructor restores - the signals. - - * Changed the name of files Signal_Handler.[hiC] to Signal.[hiC] - to reflect a broadening of the functionality of the ACE wrappers - for Signals. For example, the new C++ classes wrap the sigset_t - API, as well as the struct sigaction structure. - -Fri Nov 4 00:41:48 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Yow, got the new Shared_Malloc/Malloc class to work correctly on - SunOS 4.x, as well as SunOS 5.x. It's a bit more clunky on - SunOS 4.x since we have to use System V semaphores rather than - Solaris synchronization mechanisms. However, it now seems to - function correctly! - - * Added a new method called "tryacquire" to Semaphore_Complex and - Semaphore_Simple. This method provides the same "non-blocking" - semantics as it does in the Mutex, Semaphore, and RW_Mutex - classes. - - * Added a new method called "remove()" to all the C++ wrappers in - the Synch.[hi] file. This improves the symmetry with the System - V semaphore wrappers, and also gets around a nasty bug with - cfront 3.x and its handling of templates and explicitly called - destructors... - - * Added a new C++ wrapper class for Threads (Thread.h). The - eventual purpose of this class is to hide the differences - between POSIX pthreads and Solaris threads. - - * Added new parameters to Thr_Manager::spawn to enable the stack - and stack_size to be passed in. - - * Modified the Synch.h file so that the Null_Mutex and Mutex_Block - classes will both be compiled, even if we are building ACE on a - platform that doesn't support threads! - - * Added a timed event-loop method to the public interface of the - Service_Config class. This basically forwards the request to - the underlying Reactor->handle_events method. Thanks to Brad - Needham (bneedham@arinc.com) of ARINC research for the - suggestion! - -Wed Nov 2 14:47:25 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Changed the interface for one of the Reactor's - {register,remove}_handler methods. These methods - had previously taken a sigset_t &, but for some reason the Sun - C++ 3.0 compiler can't seem to recognize that this is different - from an int! Therefore, I changed the interface to take a - sigset_t *. - - * Fixed some portability bugs that crept into the SunOS 4 version - of ACE, particularly with the siginfo_t extended signal handler - stuff. - -Tue Nov 1 21:46:07 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Log_Msg/Log_Msg.C (log): Fixed a braino on line 175. - "int sig" was undefined outside the conditional (duhhh ;-)). - -Thu Oct 27 17:23:37 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Fixed up some problems with Semaphore_Complex and - Semaphore_Simple. The new design should be more functional, - particularly for Semaphore_Complex, which now generalizes to - arrays of semaphores. - -Wed Oct 26 16:38:42 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Shared_Malloc/: Created a .i file for Malloc and - Memory_Pool to handle inlines. - - * Fixed a fence-post error in Mem_Map::map_it(). The new version - should correctly set the length of the file *and* also do the - appropriate memory mapping. - - * bin/clone.C: Fixed the clone program so that it now compiles - with the C++ compiler rather than the C compiler. - -Tue Oct 11 20:01:16 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Reactor/Reactor.h (Reactor): Changed the order of the - arguments to the Reactor's register_handler() method used to - register signal handler objects. The new order puts both "new" - components first, and any - (optional) old components following this. This is - a more natural set of default values... - - * libsrc/Shared_Malloc: split out the Local and Shared memory - pools for class Malloc into the Memory_Pool.[hC] files. - -Mon Oct 10 22:54:53 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Threads/Synch.i: Reworked the Thread_Mutex and - Process_Mutex classes to inherit their interface and - implementation code from Mutex... Thanks to Irfan Payrali for - the suggestion! - -Wed Sep 28 11:26:34 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Moved some of the tests directories around to better reflect - precisely which ACE components are being tested. In particular, - the {client,server} directories that were originally under the - ./tests/Reactor subtree are now located in the - ./tests/Service_Configurator subtree. - -Tue Sep 27 23:05:32 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Added a bunch of constructors/destructors for - ./tests/Reactor/server to make g++ happy. - - * libsrc/Service_Configurator/Service_Object.[ih] - (Service_Object): Added a constructor and destructor to - Service_Object to make g++ happy. Also, removed the #if for - broken versions of g++ 2.5.8. - - * include/Reactor: Added a constructor and destructor for - Null_Callback to make G++ happy... - - * libsrc/Message_Queues/: Added support for G++ templates. - - * Changed the handling of _sys_siglist in the sysincludes.h file - to try and handle the weird SunOS 4 header file problems... - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/SOCK_Dgram_Brdcast.C (mk_broadcast): - Removed the "struct" from new struct ifnode in order to - compile... - -Tue Sep 20 11:17:23 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Fixed a couple of minor typos in the Windows NT C++ wrappers for - sockets. - - * Released version 2.15.2 so that Mark Frutig could have access to - the latest source in order to write man pages! - -Thu Sep 15 20:47:36 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Extended the Event_Handler interface to support the additional - siginfo_t-style parameters for extended SVR4 signal handling. - Note that for backwards compatibility, this new interface only - enabled if the -DACE_HAS_SIGINFO flag is set in the - wrapper_macros.GNU config file. Making this change affected - several of the existing ACE classes such as Service_Config and - Signal_Handler. - -Mon Sep 12 17:07:10 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Improved the modularity of the Reactor by creating a new class - called Signal_Handler. This new class basically encapsulates - the signal handling mechanism provided by UNIX within a nice OO - abstraction. The new arrangement is particularly useful since - the Signal_Handler class may be used in applications - (e.g., the Malloc class abstraction) that do not require the - other features of the Reactor. - -Sun Sep 11 14:40:06 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Changed the default value for Semaphore_Simple and - Semaphore_Complex from OPEN to CREATE. This is more closely - related to how SunOS thread synchronization variables work. - - * Changed the methods of the Semaphore_Simple class to be - syntactically equivalent to the Process_Mutex and Thread_Mutex - classes. This makes it easier to write code that uses - parameterized types to instantiate the appropriate type of - synchronization primitive. - - * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (OBJDIRS): Fixed the - "depend" target so that it generates the correct dependencies - for remaking .so files after they are changed. - - * Added a new pair of methods to the Reactor so that it is now - possible to register/remove a sigset_t of signals in one - operation. - -Sat Sep 10 03:11:34 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/Mem_Map/Mem_Map.i (map_it): Fixed a few minor bugs with - how the Mem_Map::map() method handles lseek()'s. - - * Changed the name of the Mem_Map::open() methods to - Mem_Map::map(). This seems like a more reasonable name! Also, - removed the close() method. This is trivial to implement via - ::close (mmap.get_fd ()); - -Fri Sep 9 22:04:25 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Provided a new implementation of a flexible memory allocation - scheme (Shared_Malloc/Malloc.[HiC]). This memory allocation can - be parameterized by the following: - - 1. The pool from which memory is allocated (e.g., - local memory vs. shared memory). - - 2. The type of synchronization used when allocating - the memory (e.g., no synchronization, thread-based - synchronization, process-based synchronization). - - * libsrc/Threads/Synch.i (Proc_Mutex): Added new classes to the - Synchronization library. These classes are wrappers around the - USYNC_PROCESS and USYNC_THREAD flags to mutex_init(). - -Wed Sep 7 20:29:00 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * include/sysincludes.h (MT): Added check to see if _REENTRANT was - already defined, and if so, avoid redefining it! - -Sun Sep 4 16:23:17 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Released version 2.15.1 to the world... - - * Added support for the Windows NT version of SOCK_SAP. - - * Fixed a few minor bugs involved with the order of linking - libraries. - - * Fixed an oversight in ./testsReactor/server/server_test.C where - I was still including the "Server_Test.h" file (ugh). - -Wed Aug 31 13:27:10 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/SOCK_Stream.C (open): Fixed a bug - whereby the I/O descriptor wasn't being closed if connect() - failed. Thanks to Charles Eads - (eads@synoptics.com) for reporting this. - - - * Recompiled everything on SunOS 4.x using SunC++ 3.x and SunOS - 5.x using SunC++ 3.x and 4.x. Everything seems to compile fine - now. - - * Released version 2.15 - -Mon Aug 29 00:14:04 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Finished up a preliminary set of tests for ASX. See the - $WRAPPER_ROOT/tests/ASX/Event_Server directory for more details. - - * wrapper_macros.GNU (CC): Removed the ARCHFLAG from the CCFLAGS - macro in the Makefile system. Henceforth, all conditional - compilation should be performed on a "per-feature" basis, rather - than a "per-platform" basis... - - * libsrc/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/SOCK_Dgram_Brdcast.C (send): - Automatically convert the port number to htons format before - using it to initialize the sin_port field of the addressing - structure. This is consistent with the behavior of other parts - of IPC_SAP (particularly INET_Addr::set()). - -Sun Aug 28 00:02:53 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Changed version number of 2.15 to reflect all the major - modifications to the structure of ACE. - - * include/sysincludes.h: Started to fix up the conditional - compilation scheme to be much smarter about the features that - are available from both the compiler and the OS environment. - - * Added a fix suggested by Leslee Xu (lxu@ics.uci.edu) to better - handle the normalization of Timer_Values. - - * Continued to make ACE coding conventions more consistent by - removing get_/set_ prefix from all the accessor/manipulator - methods. Also, added an underbar at the end of all class and - object instance variables. - -Sat Aug 27 20:28:13 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Continued to improve error handling by replacing all uses of - perror with the Log_Msg macros. - - * include/sysincludes.h: Continued to improve the namespace - utilization in ACE by prefixing stand-along Misc functions with - ace_. - - * include/FD_Set.h: Changed the name FD_Set_Iter to - FD_Set_Iterator. - - * typedef'd int to HANDLE in Event_Handler.h in preparation for - merging in the Windows NT support along with the regular ACE - package. I need to update all the other code in the entire - release to be consist with this! - -Thu Aug 25 19:49:57 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Fixed a bug with Thr_Manager.i that occurred if a thread created - by ::thr_create() exits prior to the acquisition of the lock and - the subsequent bookkeeping. - -Wed Aug 24 17:34:49 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Updated SOCK_Dgram_Brdcast to return the average number of bytes - sent. This isn't necessarily the most useful info, but it - doesn't hurt either. Thanks to Mark Frutig (mfrutig@fnbc.com) - for the suggestion. - -Mon Aug 22 01:18:14 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Added a new test for the Service Configurator framework. This - test illustrates the dynamic configuration of an entire stream - of Modules. - -Sun Aug 21 03:16:00 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Cleaned up the ./tests/Reactor/server example to be more robust. - In particular, it doesn't really make sense to have the same - object be configured both statically and dynamically *at the - same time*! This was causing problems since each constructor - was getting called twice for the same object -- once when it was - created statically, and again when it was linked in - dynamically... Things work much better now. - -Sat Aug 20 01:07:24 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Heavily revised the structure of the ./apps/Logger - subdirectories to test out the new Makefile scheme. Everything - is working fine on Solaris! - - * Updated all the ./apps/Logger subdirectories to use the Acceptor - name rather than the Client_Listener name. This is consistent - with recent papers... - - * Fixed all the Makefiles to utilize the new simplified build - strategy. The Makefiles are *far* more automated now! - - * Added support to all the libsrc Makefiles to produce both shared - libraries (*.so) and traditional archives - (*.a). - -Fri Aug 19 16:13:42 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango) - - * Majorly improved the Makefile support for building shared - objects that will be dynamically linked explicitly. No longer - will we have to do the horrible hack of compiling all the source - code using -pic. Instead, only that code that will be linked - dynamically must be compiled with -pic! Note that this only - works if the shared object is entirely self contained (i.e., it - does *not* reference any statically linked symbols that are not - defined in itself)! - - * Started to add changes to the source code to make its - configation driven by features rather than by OS. This should - make everything much more portable soon! - - * Fixed IPC_SAP.h so that the constructor is protected (prevents - accidental definition of an instance of this class). - -Thu Aug 11 08:31:33 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at valentine.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed Reactor::schedule_timer() so that it will unblock the - Reactor if it is currently blocked. This is necessary so that - the Reactor will recompute the amount of time that it needs to - wait before dispatching timer-based events. Thanks to Todd Hoff - for noticing this... - - * Fixed a stupid bug in the handle_input() method of - Client_Listener in both the Reactor and Service_Configurator - version of the Server Logging Daemon. This routine was not - explicitly returning 0 when it worked..., which might cause the - Reactor to deregister the listener handler! - - * Added casts to the ::select() call in the Reactor to ensure that - the FD_Set * -> fd_set * conversion operators are properly - involved. Thanks to Todd Hoff for this fix (thm@ictv.com). - Todd noticed that the DCE pthreads implementation on AIX was - confusing the compiler... - -Mon Aug 8 18:11:03 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Added a new constructor for the FD_Set class that will convert - an fd_set into an FD_Set. - - * Removed the default value for the Service_Repository constructor - since this was ambiguous with the default constructor. - -Tue Aug 2 18:25:28 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed a bunch of minor "warning-causing" nits that were caused - by #endif __INLINE__ in certain header files... - - * Added a new set of interfaces to the Reactor to retrieve a - registered handler. These interfaces are also useful for - checking whether a handler is registered at a particular fd. - -Sun Jul 10 17:43:19 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Improved the implementation of the Profile_Timer and - High_Res_Timer classes. In particular, the High_Res_Timer class - now works quite nicely using SunC++ 4.0. - -Mon Jul 4 12:49:14 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Changed the order of the base class inheritance list for the - Service_Object class as a workaround for a bug in SunC++ 4.0's - handling of pointers to member functions (ugh). - -Sun Jul 3 18:07:16 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Added a bunch of changes (courtesy of - george@truffula.fp.trw.com). These changes fix minor - portability problems with the new SunC++ 4.0 compiler. - -Fri Jun 24 08:59:02 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Removed operator() from all the IPC_SAP listener classes. - Defining this operator was causing more trouble than it is worth - since C++ doesn't allow operator() to have default arguments - (ugh). The "right" thing to do is to simply use the accept() - method in those classes instead of operator(). - -Wed Jun 22 16:54:05 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed some problems with TLI_Listener that involved lax scoping - of nested classes with cfront 3.x-based C++ compilers. - -Tue Jun 14 11:56:56 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Added a bunch of changes to get portions of ACE up and running - on SCO UNIX, on HP-UX, and on OSF/1. - -Tue Jun 7 14:32:50 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Added support for FLEX's <<EOF>> symbol to properly cleanup when - a configuration file has been parsed by the Service - Configurator's lexer/parser. - -Sun May 22 10:37:14 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at valentine.ics.uci.edu) - - * Modified the semantics of explicit dynamic linking on SunOS 4.x. - Now, if there is no _init or _fini function defined in a shared - library, it isn't an error (we simply don't call the function!). - -Mon May 9 07:58:35 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Included more fixes for GNU G++ courtesy of Aniruddha Gokhale - <gokhale@cs.wustl.edu>. - -Thu May 5 16:47:25 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Reimplemented the ./apps/Logger/Reactor_Logger to provide an - illustration of how the Reactor works. - - * Added finishing touches to the new version of the Service - Configurator framework. This framework now permits completely - automated configuration and reconfiguration of Service_Objects - and Streams. The next step is to add some more complete - examples that illustrate how these features are used... - -Tue May 3 10:17:12 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed a bug in the Service Repository that would cause an - extraneous dlclose on a shared library handle under some - circumstances... - -Mon May 2 11:07:52 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Modified the semantics of Service_Object_Type in the Service - Configurator framework so that it does not automagically - register the service object with the instance of the Reactor. - The original behavior involved too much "over-specification" of - the behavior of Service Objects. Moreover, I can finally omit - the crazy semantics of DONT_REGISTER_SVC and REGISTER_SVC! - - * Fixed some subtle bugs involved with pop'ing a remove'ing a - Module from a Stream. Note that we need to use Module::link - rather than Module::set_next in order to ensure that all the - necessary pointers get rearranged.... - - * Fixed a couple of minor problems with deleting const objects in - the Service_Repository.i file. These were caught by G++, but - not caught by SunC++! - -Sun May 1 11:43:52 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed subtle bug in Server_Config::run_event_loop(). This bug - prevented reconfiguration from occurring under certain - circumstances. - - * Added a new feature to the Service_Manager class in the Service - Configurator framework. This new feature enables the Service - Configurator to be reconfigured remotely by clients. - - * Fixed a bug in Service_Manager that caused the Service - Configurator to crash if SIGPIPE occurred if a client closed - down ungracefully while retrieving information on active - services. - - * Added a new argument to the Reactor::register_handler() method - that is used to register signal handling Event_Handlers. This - new argument returns the current Event_Handler (if any) that is - registered for this signal. - - * Fixed a potential bug in Service_Config::process_directives that - behaved improperly when there was no svc.conf file present in a - directory. - -Wed Apr 27 12:55:46 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at mabillon.ics.uci.edu) - - * Changed the name of Service_Directory to Service_Manager to - reflect its intended functionality - -Mon Apr 25 10:53:01 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Updated the Service Configurator framework to use the new signal - handling facilities provided by the Reactor. This cleans up a - lot of the code in Service_Config.i and removes the need for - ugly non-reentrant static class variables. - - * Released version 2.14 - -Sat Apr 23 14:29:11 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Changed the representation of the select()-based Reactor to be - more similar with the poll()-based Reactor. In particular, - there is only one array of Event_Handlers rather than three... - -Sun Mar 13 16:49:59 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed a bug with the select-based version of the Reactor. This - bug caused problems when dispatching the handle_output() member - function. - - * Fixed a bug with the select-based version of the Reactor. This - bug resulted in a failure to call the handle_close() member - function on the write_fds and except_fds. - - * Changed the interface for Event_Handler::handle_close() so that - the second parameter is a Reactor_Mask. This allows the - call-back routine to determine which side of a connection (i.e., - read-side vs. write-side or both) to close down. Be careful - since this change may break existing code that used the original - 1 argument handle_close() member function. - - * Changed the location of the Reactor_Mask. It was originally an - enum in Reactor.h. It is now a typedef in Event_Handler. This - change will break existing code but it easily spotted since the - compiler will give an error! - -Sat Mar 12 15:16:59 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Continued to modify the grammar of the svc.conf file language. - The latest version (illustrated in configuration files in the - ./tests/Reactor/server and - ./apps/Logger/Service_Configurator_Logger file) is both easier - to read and to parse automatically. - -Tue Mar 8 10:19:40 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Changed the behavior of the Get_Opt class so that it will - perform option processing starting from argv[0] rather than - argv[1] if the SKIP argument to the constructor is set to 0. - Note that the default value is 1, so the behavior is the same - for backwards compatibility. Incidentally, this new change is - necessary to support the Service Configurator stuff... - - * Changed the names of some of the Service_Record member functions - to conform to the new idiom for naming get/set-style of member - function accessors... - -Sun Mar 6 12:47:03 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Removed libGet_Opt.a and merged it in with libMisc.a - -Sat Mar 5 18:37:43 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt at tango.ics.uci.edu) - - * Updated the Service_Config class to use a flex/yacc based parser - rather than an ad hoc parser and lexer. This is useful since - the new syntax for configuring a complete Stream into a Service - Configurator-based application is more complicated... - - * Made a small change to the syntax of a svc.conf file. Now any - parameters that are passed to the Service_Object::init() member - function of a dynamically linked service must be enclosed inside - of double quotes. In other words, service config entries such - as - - dynamic ./dev_adapter.so:_alloc () Device_Adapter -p 3000 - - now become - - dynamic ./dev_adapter.so:_alloc () Device_Adapter "-p 3000" - - This change makes it easier to parse the input using flex/yacc. - -Sat Feb 12 18:53:14 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) - - * Modified the Reactor so that it now also demultiplexes signals, - as well as timer events and I/O events. This required making a - few sections of the Reactor code signal-safe, as well as - thread-safe. - - * Changing the Reactor to handle signals also required a slight - change to its interface. For example, it is now mandatory to - give the Event_Handler::{READ_MASK,WRITE_MASK,EXCEPT_MASK} when - registering a handler... - -Sat Feb 5 12:10:53 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) - - * Changed the Condition and Monitor classes to use templates that - parameterize them with the appropriate type of Mutex (i.e., - either Mutex or Mutex_Rec). This greatly cleans up the code... - Made a number of changes in other files - (such as the Reactor) to account for the changes. - - * Added a new class called Mutex_Rec which implements a recursive - Mutex abstraction on SunOS 5.x. Recursive Mutexes may be - acquired multiple times from a single thread. Basically, this - supports an efficient and clean way of handling nested locking - conditions. - -Thu Feb 3 12:37:34 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) - - * Fixed a bug in Service_Config.i that was causing SIGHUP-driven - reconfiguration not to work correctly. - - * Added a set of new member functions to the Reactor class to - suspend() and resume() an event handler. Also added suspend() - and resume() member functions to the Server_Object class to take - advantage of these new facilities automagically... - -Mon Jan 31 09:47:06 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) - - * Modified the no-args constructor for the Reactor to initialize - it to the DEFAULT_SIZE. The prior behavior was *not* to - initialize it at all, which seems rather dumb in retrospect... - - * Improved the Reactor's support for multi-threading by adding a - pipe() call that is used to force the Reactor to reconfigure - itself everytime a new handler is registered or removed. - Previously, any new changes wouldn't take place until the - Reactor was triggered by some external event. This old behavior - was too non-deterministic... - -Sun Jan 2 12:35:39 1994 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) - - * Modified the inheritance hierarchy for Service_Object so that it - derives from both Shared_Object and Event_Handler. - Shared_Object is a new abstract base class the provides an - interface for dynamic linking of objects. When RTTI is widely - available for C++ the Service Configurator will be much more - functional since we can automatically figure out whether an - object is a Service_Object or just a Shared_Object and do the - right thing with it! - |
