-
- * ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): Fixed the implementation of the
- ACE_OS::cond_timedwait() wrapper such that if the
- caller-specified timeout elapses without the condition variable
- being signaled that errno is always set to ETIME. This fixes
- some inconsistencies that occurred with POSIX pthreads and Win32
- threads. Thanks to Ross Dargahi <rossd@acm.org> for pointing
- this out.
-
- * ace/SOCK.cpp: Changed SOCK::close() to use the new
- ACE_OS::closesocket() call. This should fix some weird bugs
- that have been lurking in the code for some time now!
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new method to ACE_OS called closesocket(). This
- handles the differences between Win32 and UNIX in their
- treatment of sockets (e.g., NT requires the use of
- closesocket(), whereas UNIX requires the use of close(). Thanks
- to Irfan, Prashant, and Tim for figuring this one out!

- * ace/SPIPE_Acceptor.cpp (create_new_instance): Added the flag
- (FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED) in call to CreateNamedPipe.

-
- * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp (open): Fixed a small typo that caused a
- compile error if the DEBUGGING macro was enabled. Thanks to
- Irfan for finding this.

-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ts_get): The tss object allocated off the heap
- should be released if setspecific fails. Thanks to John Lu
- <johnlu@f1.telekurs.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp (handle_input): changed ACE_OS::send and
- ACE_OS::recv to ACE::send and ACE::recv respectively in
- CORBA_Handler.cpp. Thanks to Irfan for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/Service_Config: slightly modified the Service_Config.[h,cpp]
- in order to make it possible to create an ACE_Service_Config
- with an external ACE_Reactor as a parameter. On creation I was
- handling this partly correct (i.e., not creating a new reactor).
- However, there was no flag for remembering this for a later
- deletion. Thus, on deletion I was doing a delete on the Reactor
- regardless of who created it. This is now fixed. Thanks to
- Karlheinz for pointing this out.
-
- * examples/ASX/CCM_App/CCM_App.cpp: Changed all uses of init (int,
- char **) to init (int, char *[]) to work around a "feature" with
- MSVC++ 4.x... Thanks to Karlheinz for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added a new typedef of TCHAR to be compatible with
- Win32 UNICODE type names...
-
- * ace/{Mem_Map,DEV_Addr,SPIPE_Addr,FILE_Addr}: Added UNICODE
- support for Win32 to all interfaces that require filenames.
-
- * ace/{SPIPE_Stream,SOCK_IO,FILE_IO,DEV_IO}: Added a new pair of
- send()/recv() methods that take ACE_OVERLAPPED pointers in order
- to make it possible to integrate seamlessly with Win32
- overlapped I/O. Naturally, these methods are simply
- "callthroughs" to the ACE_OS versions...
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new pair of send()/recv() methods that take
- ACE_OVERLAPPED pointers in order to make it possible to
- integrate seamlessly with Win32 overlapped I/O.
-
- * ace/SPIPE_Acceptor: Factored out common code in the Win32
- implementation of ACE SPIPES (which uses Win32 Named Pipes, of
- course ;-)).
-
- * ace/SPIPE_Acceptor.h: Removed a vestige of the past --
- ACE_SPIPE_LISTENER_H should be ACE_SPIPE_ACCEPTOR_H...
-
-Wed Jun 19 19:35:12 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/SPIPE_{Acceptor,Connector}: Modified SPIPE_Acceptor and
- SPIPE_Connector to implement Named Pipes on NT. The public
- interface remains the same.
-
-Sun Jun 16 00:45:41 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Service_Config: Provided public accessor methods for the
- following data memebers of the ACE_Service_Config:
-
- reconfig_occurred_
- end_event_loop_
-
- Thanks to Steve Warwick <sjw@aesthetic.com> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch*: Added UNICODE support for the ACE synchronization
- classes (e.g., ACE_Mutex, ACE_RW_Mutex, ACE_Semaphore, etc.).
-
- * ace/OS: Added UNICODE support for the ACE_OS::dl_open()
- function, as well as the ACE_OS synchronization functions.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler: Added Seth's changes for Orbix 2.0.
-
-Sat Jun 1 13:30:55 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (remap): Fixed a bug in
- ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool::remap (). The test for whether or not the
- addr falls within the range had a '!' (not) missing, that is, it
- was failing when it should be succeeding and vice versa.
-
-Sun Jun 9 00:01:44 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.24 for testing.
-
- * ace: Changed all uses of ACE_Guard<LOCK> m (lock_) to ACE_GUARD
- (LOCK, lock_), which is a macro that is defined as follows:
-
- ACE_Guard<MUTEX> ace_mon (LOCK); \
- if (m.locked () == 0) return;
-
- The reason we need this is (1) detect locking failures, rather
- than have things fail silently and (2) to automatically detect
- deadlock in the Reactor. In addition, I also added
- ACE_GUARD_RETURN, which is similar to ACE_GUARD, except that it
- returns a "failure" status when the lock is not acquired.
- Thanks to Karlheinz for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Added the new thr_state() accessors to Log_Msg.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: factored out some common code by having
- the public interfaces (like resume() and suspend()) utilize the
- protected interfaces (like resume_thr() and suspend_thr()).
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Added sanity checks for suspend(),
- resume(), cancel(), etc. so that we don't blow up if someone
- tries to perform an operation on an invalid thread id.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: Added a suite of new methods for
- (1) cooperatively "canceling" threads and (2) testing if threads
- are cancelled (also added similar checks to test if threads are
- suspended or resumed). The cooperative cancellation mechanism
- is based on a design fleshed out with Detlef and Karlheinz.
- It's essentially a compromise between the powerful mechanisms
- available via POSIX pthreads vs. the totally lame mechanisms
- available in Win32.
-
- Here's how it all works:
-
- 1. Added several new methods to ACE_Thread_Manager:
-
- cancel(thr_id); -- cancels thr_id
- cancel_all(); -- cancels all the threads in a Thread_Manager
- cancel_grp(grp_id); -- cancels a group of threads in a Thread_Manager
- testcancel(thr_id); -- returns "true" if thr_id has been cancelled
-
- 2. Updated ACE_Log_Msg to maintain the current state of a thread
- in thread-specific-storage (TSS). Actually, it's more clever
- than that since I really keep a *pointer* to the state of a
- thread in TSS. This pointer actually points *back* to the
- ACE_Thread_State field in the ACE_Thread_Manager! I use it
- as a cache as follows:
-
- ACE_Thread_Manager::testcancel (thread_t t_id)
- {
- ACE_MT (ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard m (this->lock_));
-
- // Try to get the cached value out of TSS to avoid lookup.
- ACE_Thread_State *thr_state = ACE_LOG_MSG->thr_state ();
-
- if (thr_state == 0)
- { // We need to init the cache.
- int i = this->find (t_id);
- if (i == -1) return -1;
- // Update the TSS cache.
- ACE_LOG_MSG->thr_state (thr_state = &this->thr_table_[i].thr_state_);
- }
- return *thr_state == ACE_THR_CANCELLED;
- }
-
- Note that this allows me to avoid searching the
- Thread_Manager on every Thread_Manager::cancel() access
- except the first one!
-
- 3. I've updated the examples/Threads/test_thread_manager.cpp
- test file to exercise the new cooperative thread cancellation
- scheme. It basically spawns a bunch of threads that go into
- their own event loops doing
-
- if (thr_mgr ()->testcancel (ACE_Thread::self ()) != 0)
- break;
-
- every so often. Naturally, the main thread cancels them by saying
-
- thr_mgr ()->cancel_grp (grp_id);
-
- when it wants to inform them to shut down.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: Moved the Thread_State enum from the
- ACE_Thread_Descriptor class to OS.h and renamed it to be
- ACE_Thread_State. This will make it easier to integrate the
- state of a thread in thread-specific storage...
-
-Sat Jun 8 13:35:17 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i (sema_post): revised the implementation of the POSIX
- Pthreads semaphore implementation just a bit in order to make it
- slightly more efficient (it now releases the mutex before
- signaling the condition variable).
-
- * ace/OS.i and config-aix.4.1.h: added a fix that separates the
- decision about whether optlen is a pointer from the decision of
- the type of optlen. This fixes a problem on AIX. Thanks to Bob
- Olson <olson@mcs.anl.gov> for this fix.
-
- * ace/Proactor.h: Fixed a small glitch that was causing some
- compilers to break due to the fact that they can't grok fully
- qualified destructor syntax in the class definition. Thanks to
- Alfred Keller <kellera@pop.eunet.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added some Win32 macros (e.g., GENERIC_READ) to the
- UNIX side of the house in order to compile the Proactor on Win32
- and UNIX.
-
-Fri Jun 7 19:36:27 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Added a new Bourne shell script called ACE-install.sh that will
- automatically download and install on UNIX machines. Thanks to
- Ajit Sagar <asagar@spdmail.spd.dsccc.com> for contributing this.
-
-Thu Jun 6 00:37:02 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.23 for testing.
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens: Updated the *.cpp and *.i files to remove
- warnings and generally improve the conformance to the ACE coding
- guidelines.
-
- * examples: Moved the Proactor directory into the Reactor
- directory since the Proactor and Reactor are really two
- implementations of the same basic pattern.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: Fixed an inconsistency caused by not
- updating __INLINE__ to __ACE_INLINE__. Thanks to Neil Cohen for
- finding this.
-
- * ace: Added support for the Florida State PTHREADS package.
- Thanks to Gary Salsbery <gsalsber@simsun.atsc.allied.com> and
- Eric Beser <beser@simsun.atsc.allied.com> for helping with this.
-
- * ace: Added support for the m88k OS. Thanks to Gary Salsbery
- <gsalsber@simsun.atsc.allied.com> and Eric Beser
- <beser@simsun.atsc.allied.com> for helping with this.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added a default value of NULL to the sigwait() OS
- wrapper method to simplify the usecase in certain cases.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (commit_backing_store): Fixed what is
- hopefully the last typo related to the ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR
- macro. Thanks to Neil B. Cohen <nbc@metsci.com> for reporting
- this.
-
-Thu Jun 6 15:31:40 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@lambada.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.h: This version of the CORBA_Handler works
- with Orbix 2.0. Most of the changes involve the use of C++
- Exception Handling (the removal of IT_X), and the location of
- some CORBA system exception classes.
-
- * ace/Event_Handler.h: Added handle_*_complete methods for the
- Proactor. The Proactor now takes Event_Handlers and calls back
- the **_complete methods when overlapped I/O operations have
- completed.
-
- * ace/Service_Config.h: Added static accessors for the Proactor to
- the Service_Config object. Similar to the Reactor accessors,
- applications can now use the Service_Config object as the global
- access point to the Proactor event demultiplexor.
-
-Wed Jun 5 22:40:28 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i (t_free): Added a check to avoid deleting a NULL ptr.
- This was causing problems for the TLI_Acceptor. Thanks to Ajit
- Sagar <asagar@spdmail.spd.dsccc.com> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Makefile: Changed things back so that both static and
- dynamic libs are built by default... Thanks to Brad Brown
- <bbrown@rdxsunhost.aud.alcatel.com> for pointing this out...
-
-Sat Jun 1 13:49:51 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.22 for testing.
-
- * Added Tim Harrison's latest tests for Proactor.
-
-Sat Jun 1 13:30:55 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (remap): Fixed a bug in
- ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool::remap (). The test for whether or not the
- addr falls within the range had a '!' (not) missing, that is, it
- was failing when it should be succeeding and vice versa.
-
-Fri May 31 16:31:13 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Rereleased version 4.0.21 for testing.
-
- * Copied over new versions of the Proactor -- there was a small
- problem with the UNIX version that caused it not to compile...
-
-Fri May 31 00:03:41 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@lambada.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: Added a test program for
- the Proactor. Check examples/Proactor/README for more details
- on this test example.
-
- * ace/Proactor.cpp: Added first pass at the Proactor for win32.
- The Proactor is a Reactor-like abstraction that uses
- asynchronous I/O, rather than synchronous I/O. On Windows NT we
- implement the Proactor using overlapped I/O. We'll soon be
- porting the Proactor to Solaris using POSIX 4.x aio_* API for
- real-time programming.
-
- Unfortunately, the Proactor has not yet been integrated with
- Windows NT WaitForMultipleObjects since it appears that I/O
- Completion ports are not "waitable" objects on Windows NT. Does
- anyone know if this has been fixed in release 4.0?
-
-Thu May 30 05:51:23 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Synch.i: Reordered the definitions of several methods in
- Synch.i to avoid warnings from G++. Thanks to Marco Sommerau
- <sommerau@matisse.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> for noticing
- this.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: There was a problem having to do with the order
- in which static objects by G++. In particular, G++ was calling
- the constructor of the lock_ mutex in Log_Msg.cpp *after* it was
- being used for the first time. The right solution is to make
- lock_ be a pointer and allocate it once in the instance()
- method. Thanks to Marco Sommerau
- <sommerau@matisse.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> for finding this
- problem.
-
- * ace/TLI_Acceptor.cpp (close): Make sure to only close down the
- TLI_Request_Queue if queue_ is non-NULL! Thanks to Ajit Sagar
- <asagar@spdmail.spd.dsccc.com> for spotting this.
-
- * ace: Changed all the enums in the various SysV wrappers from
- things like CREATE and OPEN to ACE_CREATE and ACE_OPEN to avoid
- name clashes with other systems. In addition, also changed
- NONBLOCK to ACE_NOWAIT to avoid clashes with the existing
- ACE_NONBLOCK macro! Thanks to Steve Warwick <sjw@aesthetic.com>
- for suggesting this.
-
- * ChangeLog: Changed all usages of the INLINE macro to ACE_INLINE.
- This avoids name clashes with other systems. Thanks to
- Chris Eich <Chris_Eich@optilink.optilink.dsccc.com> for
- suggesting this.
-
-Mon May 27 13:03:58 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (trybind): The function trybind() doesn't
- return a value as it should. A return was missing from the last
- line of the function. Thanks to Stuart Powell
- <stuartp@in.ot.com.au> for finding this problem.
-
- * ace/Acceptor.cpp (dump): The debug print referred to
- "scheduling_strategy_" which doesn't exist in the relevant
- class. Replacing it with "concurrency_strategy_" fixes the
- problem. Thanks to Stuart Powell <stuartp@in.ot.com.au> for
- finding this problem.
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.i: Make sure to close down the file mapping
- correctly when we upmap the view!
-
- * ace/OS.h: Changed the default shared memory address from 16 M to
- 64 M in order to work around problems with AIX.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool: Moved and renamed the enums in
- ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool so that they'd be in OS.h. This makes it
- easier to remember to change them if they are incorrect. Thanks
- to Lionel Mommeja <mommeja@vnet.ibm.com> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Stream.cpp: Removed #if defined (ACE_HAS_THREADS)
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (svc_run): Added a Win32 try/except block to
- Spawn_Args::svc_run so that we catch all Win32 structured
- exceptions in order to make sure that we clean up correctly when
- the thread exits.
-
-Sun May 26 11:37:08 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Used the new Win32 exception
- integration in order to ensure that the Name Server will
- transparently work correctly when the backing store is extended
- by other processes on the same machine.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: Revised the ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool to export
- the mechanism for extending the virtual memory mapping. This
- can now be called by other programs (e.g., in order to integrate
- with Win32 Structure Exception Handling).
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: Changed the use of ACE_OS::lseek() to
- ACE_OS::filesize() in order to determine the current offset when
- we're remapping the address space.
-
-Wed May 22 13:08:44 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.h (ACE_DEFAULT_TIME_SERVER_STR): Added a new entry for
- ACE_DEFAULT_TIME_SERVER_STR.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (advance): Fixed two small bugs. In
- ACE_Malloc::try_bind(), if we have a match we need to set
- pointer to node->pointer_ and not node->name_.
- Ina ACE_Malloc_Iterator::advance(), the continue in the for loop
- should be for strcmp != 0 instead of == 0.
-
-Sun May 19 12:03:11 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.20 for testing.
-
- * ace/Service_Record.cpp (remove): Fixed a very mysterious bug
- that was caused by deleteing an object and then trying to access
- it's next_ pointer. This worked on UNIX, but fortunately the
- MSVC++ compiler does special things to deleted memory and the
- bug was revealed! At long last, MSVC++ does something right
- ;-).
-
- * ace/Module.cpp: Revised the code a bit to use the ACE_SET_BITS
- and ACE_CLR_BITS macros to improve readability.
-
- * ace/SV_Semaphore_Complex.cpp (open): Fixed a race condition
- where we weren't correctly checking for EIDRM. Thanks to
- Michael Fortinsky <mike@vocaltec.com> for reporting this.
-
-Sat May 18 10:49:04 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Added a new ace.mak and ace.mdp file for Win32.
-
- * ace/Service_Record.cpp: Rewrote some code to work around a bug
- with MSVC++. This bug was causing problems since the
- ACE_Shared_Object methods were getting called, rather than the
- Test_Task methods used in the examples/ASX/CCM_App.cpp file.
- Thanks to Tom Leith for pointing out this problem!
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added a new #define for ACE_DEFAULT_SVC_CONF to deal
- with differences between NT and UNIX pathnames.
-
- * ace/Time_Value.h: Moved the definition of the INLINE macro from
- OS.h to Time_Value.h so that it will be in scope for
- Time_Value.i. Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this.
-
- * examples/Reactor/Misc/signal_tester.cpp: There was a typo in
- signal_test.cpp. It had mean to use handle_input() rather than
- handle_output() to exercise the asynchronous signal handling
- capabilities. This is fixed now.
-
- * apps/Synch-Benchmarks/Benchmark.cpp (thr_id): Added a new #if
- define (ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS) to make this work on AIX. Thanks to
- Greg Wilson <gvw@cs.toronto.edu> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space: Moved ACE_NS_String and ACE_NS_Internal
- from the *.cpp file to the *.h file to work around a "feature"
- of the AIX C++ compiler. Thanks to Greg Wilson
- <gvw@cs.toronto.edu> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Reactor.h (ACE_Handler_Repository): Changed the type of
- cur_size_ from size_t to ssize_t to avoid type mismatches.
-
- * ace/Name_Request_Reply.cpp (decode): Fixed some inconsistencies
- between signed and unsigned loop counters...
-
- * ace/OS.h: Changed the typedef of pid_t on Win32 from
- DWORD to long to be consistent with UNIX.
-
-Thu May 16 18:49:14 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.19 for testing.
-
- * build/SunOS5.4/ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Fixed a bug in ldfind()
- that caused a segfault if we didn't resolve the filename in the
- LD_SEARCH_PATH.
-
- * ace/Reactor and Timer_Queue: Changed the interface of cancel()
- to include a const void **arg. If arg is non-NULL then it will
- be set to point to the ``magic cookie'' argument passed in when
- the Event_Handler was registered. This makes it possible to
- free up the memory and avoid memory leaks.
-
- * ace/Service_Record: Removed the #ifdefs that checked if
- ACE_HAS_THREADS because we ought to be able to build all of this
- stuff now that we've got the ACE_OS wrappers.
-
- * ace/Svc_Conf.y: Removed the #ifdefs that checked if
- ACE_HAS_THREADS because we ought to be able to build all of this
- stuff now that we've got the ACE_OS wrappers.
-
- * ace/OS.h (ACE_DEFAULT_BACKING_STORE): Made a different
- ACE_DEFAULT_BACKING_STORE for NT and for UNIX to handle the
- differences in directory separator characters...
-
-Wed May 15 18:45:48 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/ASX/CCM_App/CCM_App.cpp: Fixed up the test application
- so that it should support dynamic linking on Win32. Thanks to
- Tom Leith for reporting this.
-
- * ace: Added the ACE_Export macro to class ACE and the various
- "helper" classes related to ACE_Malloc in order to have this
- work properly when use with ACE_Malloc outside of the ACE DLL.
-
- * ace/Svc_Conf.l: Added support for '\' and ':' in the regular
- expression for an ACE pathname in order to support Win32
- filenames (e.g., "C:\foobar\"). Thanks to Tom Leith
- <trl@icon-stl.net> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Allocator_Adapter): Moved the constructor
- from the *.i file to the *.cpp file and added a new constructor
- that takes both a pool_name *and* a lock_name. This is
- necessary because the ACE Malloc now has this API, as well.
-
- * examples/Threads/test_barrier.cpp (main): Fixed a bug that was
- caused by the main() thread exiting before all the other worker
- threads had finished "waiting" on their Barrier. The fix is to
- use ACE_Thread_Manager to control the thread exits...
-
-Mon May 13 00:03:09 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-acceptor.cpp: Modified the
- implementation of the Svc_Handler::open() method so that it will
- truly behave as an iterative server (as advertised...).
- Currently, it behaves as a half-iterative server (i.e., the
- Oneshot_Acceptor is iterative, but the Svc_Handler is
- "concurrently"), which is causing problems because we're wiping
- out the values of Svc_Handler each time through the main event
- loop. Thanks to Gerolf Wendland for noticing this problem.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Added an alternative logging mechanism that makes
- it possible to integrate variable argument lists from other
- logging mechanisms into the ACE mechanism. Thanks to Chris
- Lahey for proposing this.
-
- * ace/Synch.h: Moved ACE_Process_Mutex so that it appears *after*
- ACE_Mutex (since it depends on ACE_Mutex). Thanks to Dieter
- Quehl for finding this.
-
- * Released version 4.0.18 for testing.
-
- * ace/Name_Space.cpp: Added the ACE_BUILD_DLL macro at the
- beginning of this file so that it will build as a DLL on NT
- correctly.
-
- * ace/Name_Space.cpp: Added a default constructor for
- ACE_Name_Binding so that it will compile when used as a template
- argument for ACE_Unbounded_Set.
-
-Sun May 12 14:23:44 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Map_Manager: Totally reworked the Map Manager so that it can
- be more flexible with respect to where the allocator comes from.
- This is necessary for certain parts of ACE (e.g.,
- Local_Name_Space) that must be very careful about which
- allocator is used to manage memory.
-
- * ace/Synch: Moved ACE_Process_Mutex and ACE_RW_Process_Mutex
- *outside* of the ACE_HAS_THREADS #ifdef since these are now
- always defined on all platforms (because the Process_Mutex stuff
- uses SV Semaphores, which are portable even if we don't have
- threads!).
-
- * ace/Naming_Context.cpp (parse_args): Removed an unnecessary call
- to strdup(). This was detected by Purify!

-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (shared_bind): Fixed a small bug. In
- computing type_len in shared_bind(), we needed to add 1 to
- account for the NUL character.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: (list_types): Fixed some potential
- memory leaks. In list_types() as well as list_type_entries()
- calling pattern.char_rep() was allocating memory which was never
- getting deleted. Similarly, in list_names() and list_values,
- call to char_rep was also allocating memory that was not getting
- deleted.
-
-Sat May 11 16:19:51 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (local_host): added a static member to
- ACE_Log_Msg that maintains the local host name. Now, instead of
- always displaying "<local host>", we can insert the actual local
- name into the object and then it will be automatically printed
- when VERBOSE mode is enabled. Thanks to Chris Lahey for
- suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Used the new ACE_Name_Binding class to
- simplify the implementation of all the list_* methods in
- ACE_Local_Name_Space.
-
- * ace/Name_Space.cpp: Made a number of changes to the
- ACE_Name_Binding class in order to make it work more efficiently
- and concisely (e.g., reduce the amount of copying and eliminate
- the need for converting the type field back and forth to/from
- ACE_WStrings).
-
- * examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_L_Dgram.cpp:
- Fixed a typo where #if !defined (ACE_LACKS_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS)
- was *before* the #include of the header file that defines this
- macro! Thanks to Nigel for pointing this out, as well.
-
- * ace: Added a number of fixes to make ACE compile on SCO UNIX
- 3.2.4 using gcc 2.7.2. Thanks to Nigel Lowe <nigel@nt.com> for
- helping with this.
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp: operation_ needs to be declared as
- just LIST_OP and not ACE_Name_Handler::LIST_OP. For some strange
- reason NT complains otherwise. Thanks to Prashant for finding
- this.
-
-Fri May 10 01:09:17 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Added new versions of ace.mak and ace.mdp to fix a couple
- of minor typos.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Malloc): Added a new constructor that
- takes both the pool_name and the lock_name explicitly. This is
- more flexible. Thanks to Ramesh Nagabushnam <rcn@nynexst.com>
- for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T: Modified the constructor of ACE_Malloc so that by
- default the name of the memory pool (which is also used as the
- name of the lock...) is ACE_DEFAULT_MUTEX.
-
- * Released version 4.0.17 for testing.
-
- * ace/Connector.cpp (create_AST): Must reset errno = EWOULDBLOCK
- to avoid making caller's think that something else has gone
- awry... Thanks to Steve Warwick <sjw@aesthetic.com> for chasing
- this down!
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (handle_timed_complete): If you issue a non-blocking
- connect on a socket, you will have back a failure with errno =
- EINPROGRESS. Then, if for some reason, the connection could not
- be established, the select (which you have to issue to know
- about the completion of connection) will return you the fd set
- both in the read mask and in the write mask (infact select
- returns 2 in this case). The behaviour above affects the method
- ACE::handle_time_complete, so I changed the last part of the
- above method, this way:
-
- if (n <= 0)
- {
- ...
- ...
- }
- else if (rd_handles.is_set(h))
- {
- char dummy;
- // The following recv() won't block provided that the
- // ACE_NONBLOCK flag has not been turned off .
-
- if (ACE::recv (h, &dummy, 1, MSG_PEEK) <= 0)
- return ACE_INVALID_HANDLE;
- }
-
- // 1. The HANDLE is ready for writing or 2. recv() returned that
- // there are data to be read thus the connection was successfully
- // established.
- return h;
-
- That is, I reversed the sense of the tests so that the
- rd_handles() is checked first for failure along with the recv().
- Thanks to Antonio Tortorici <antonio@rh0011.roma.tlsoft.it> for
- suggesting this.
-
- * examples/Threads/test_thread_manager.cpp (main): Changed argv[1]
- to argv[2]. Thanks to Andres Kruse <kruse@cern.ch> for finding
- this problem.
-
- * examples/Connection/non-blocking: Fixed some nasty bugs that
- caused the non-blocking connector and acceptor test programs to
- crash and burn. Thanks to Steve Warwick and Gerolf Wendland for
- finding this problem.
-
- * ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple.cpp (open): Check for
- ACE_INVALID_SEM_KEY and return -1 in this case.
-
- * ace/Synch.h: Removed the default value of 0 for the name of the
- ACE_Process_Mutex and the ACE_RW_Process_Mutex and replaced it
- with a new macro called ACE_DEFAULT_MUTEX. Using 0 didn't make
- any sense on either NT or UNIX because process-wide Mutexes
- should be named!
-
- * ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple.cpp (name_2_key): Added a check for name
- == 0 and bail out of that's the case rather than crash!
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (wait_for_multiple_events): In the Reactor's
- wait_for_multiple_events method, the do {} while () around the
- select/poll system call is trying to wait until some "good"
- event occurs, with handle_error() taking care of unexpected
- problems. In the case of a bad file descriptor, however,
- handle_error() returns 0. This was exiting the loop because the
- loop exit condition was:
-
- do { /* ... */ } while (nfound == -1 && this->handle_error () > 0);
-
- which eventually causes ACE_Service_Config::run_event_loop() to
- exit. Since the offending file descriptor is handled by
- handle_error(), the loop should continue. Therefore, I've
- changed the while to read:
-
- while (nfound == -1 && this->handle_error () >= 0);
-
- Thanks to Eric C. Newton <ecn@clark.net> for providing this fix.
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.cpp (string_to_addr): Changed the order of the
- parameters so that the form is now "ip-address:port". This
- should (finally) be consistent for both string_to_addr() and
- addr_to_string()...
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Changed the char * parameter of the log() method to
- const char *. Thanks to Chris for suggesting this!
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp: Moved the #if defined (ACE_HAS_THREADS) down to
- the right part of the file... Thanks to Alex Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for finding this.
-
- * ace/Malloc.h: Added a very important #else... Thanks to Alex
- Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for finding this.
-
- * ace/Signal.i (ACE_Sig_Guard): Changed the sense of the #ifdef
- tests in the ACE_Sig_Guard constructor and destructor from #if
- !defined (ACE_MT_SAFE) to #if 0 // !defined (ACE_MT_SAFE) in
- order to get the right semantics for signals (which should be
- blocked "process wide").
-
- * ace/Synch_T.h: put the frigging copy constructor in the public
- section of ACE_Atomic_Op because it was causing trouble for
- NT...
-
-Mon May 6 00:11:37 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.16 for testing.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Was defining ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex in the
- wrong place (i.e., outside of the #if defined (ACE_MT_SAFE).
- This was screwing up HP/UX. Thanks to Neil Cohen for pointing
- this out!
-
- * Incorported new versions of ace.mdp and ace.mak for Win32.
-
-Sun May 5 16:18:43 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp (handle_input): Fixed a
- bug whereby handle_input() was returning the number of bytes
- read by handle_logging_record() rather than 0 or -1. This was
- causing problems for the logger since it was hanging in read()!
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp: Fixed some minor problems with the use of const
- in ACE_Atomic_Op that was causing warnings.
-
-Sat May 4 16:31:46 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Bcast: Reimplemented most of the ACE socket
- broadcast mechanism to (1) clean up the code and have it use
- other parts of ACE and (2) make it work for Windows NT. Thanks
- to Steve Weismuller <spweismu@rsoc.rockwell.com> for the basic
- ideas here.
-
- * ace/INET_Addr: Added a new method to set the port number without
- changing the host address. This is useful in the broadcast
- class.
-
- * ace/Log_Record.cpp (print): Changed the hack of replacing the
- newline with a call to flush() instead. This seems like a
- better fix. Thanks to Alex for suggesting it.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Moved the order of the print operations
- so that the ostream one goes last. This avoids a nasty problem
- due to the fact that it replaces the newline (if any). Thanks
- to Alex for pointing this out too!
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Don't auto-increment bp at the end of
- the log() method, instead just terminate it:
-
- *bp = '\0'; // Terminate bp.
-
- This makes the length computation correct... Thanks to the
- ever-vigilent Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for
- reporting this.
-
- * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp: Fixed a bug where a void
- * that was really an int was being cast incorrectly. Thanks to
- Raj for pointing this out.
-
-Sat May 4 12:51:25 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (find): Modified the ACE_Handler_Repository so
- that it doesn't crash when it isn't initialized properly.
- Thanks to Darrin for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (wait): Changed the call wait(ACE_Time_Value *)
- to wait(const ACE_Time_Value *) since wait() will not change the
- time value object.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (wait): Changed the call
- wait(ACE_Time_Value *) to wait(const ACE_Time_Value *) since
- wait() will not change the time value object. Thanks to Chris
- Lahey for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch.h: Added a (const char * = 0) argument to
- ACE_Null_Mutex so that it would work correctly with
- ACE_Thread_Mutex and ACE_Process_Mutex...
-
-Fri May 3 17:26:07 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (lists_entries): Used '_' with
- name/value/type in ACE_Name_Binding to be consistent with the
- notation.
-
-Fri May 3 02:24:19 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Synch: Updated ACE_Process_Mutex to use SV_Semaphore_Complex
- as the UNIX implementation. This seems like the only portable
- and robust way to get the same semantics on UNIX and on NT!
-
- * ace/Malloc_T: It turned out there was a subtle bug with
- ACE_Malloc on NT when used with the ACE_Process_Mutex
- concurrency policy. On NT, we were storing the *HANDLE* of a
- mutex in shared memory. Naturally, this didn't make any sense
- since each HANDLE is relative to only one process!!! (duh ;-)).
- This worked fine on UNIX because mutex_t's created with
- USYNC_PROC mode can be stored in shared memory and accessed
- directly...
-
- We fixed this by changing ACE_Malloc so that the
- LOCK is allocated in non-shared memory. We then
- fixed ACE_Process_Mutex so that on UNIX it is
- implemented with SV_Semaphore_Complex. This is
- (a) portable and (b) it gives the right semantics.
-
- As a result, we were able to totally eliminate the storage of
- the lock in shared memory. Therefore, it doesn't matter of the
- host crashes anymore! In addition, we were able to totally
- remove the ugly "init_finished" lock that was previously stored
- in shared memory by ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool. This is *much*
- cleaner!!
-
- Thanks to Karlheinz et al for pointing this problem out in the
- first place!
-
- * ace: Removed a stray file called Svc_Conf_tokens.h. This was
- causing problems on Win32 due to name clashes... Thanks to Adam
- Miller <adam@royalblueny.com> for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/SString.cpp (strstr): there were some for (size_t j; ...) {}
- if (j == x) constructs in the code that have as of recently
- become non-standard. Thanks to Darrin <darrin@jeeves.net>
- for reporting this.
-
-Tue Apr 30 00:18:46 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Thread.i (self): Commented out the ACE_Trace call in the
- ACE_Thread::self() methods to avoid infinite recursion problems
- on Win32.
-
- * ace/Token.cpp (ACE_Token): Commented out the ACE_Trace call in
- the constructor of ACE_Token to avoid infinite recursion
- problems on Win32.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (instance): Moved the definition of the static
- variable keylock_ into the static instance() method in order to
- avoid "order of initialization" problems on Win32. Thanks
- to Tim for figuring this out!
-
-Sun Apr 28 17:07:58 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * netsvcs: Rearranged and renamed the subdirectories so that they
- are now called ./netsvcs/{lib,clients,servers}. In addition,
- moved the Logger, Naming, and Tokens examples from ./examples
- into the ./netsvcs/clients directory in order to make the
- relationships more clear.
-
-Sat Apr 27 14:23:43 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Name_Space.cpp (operator ==): Created a new file
- Name_Space.cpp and moved the definitions for
- ACE_Name_Binding::operator== and ~ACE_Name_Space in it. Also
- modified code to use '_' at the end of name/value/type in
- ACE_Name_Binding.
-
-Sat Apr 27 16:00:03 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.i (get_host_addr): There was an error where
- sprintf(s,"%d:%s" ...) should have been %s:%d. Thanks to
- Raj <raj@itd.ssb.com> for pointing this out.
-
-Mon Apr 22 01:24:45 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Dump_T.h: #included "ace/Dump.h" so that this file will
- compile on HP/UX. Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this
- problem.
-
- * Released version 4.0.15 for testing.
-
- * ace/Synch_T: Added the appropriate "const" qualifiers to certain
- operators in ACE_Atomic_Op.
-
-Sun Apr 21 12:54:18 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Fixed a problem that Dieter was having with the Name Server
- when toggling between Naming_Contexts. Basically, what I've
- done is
-
- 1. Moved the unmap() call into the ACE_Mem_Map::close() method
- (this ensures that the region is correctly unmapped when the
- Mem_Map is deleted).
-
- 2. I've removed the call to this->allocator_->remove () within
- ~ACE_Local_Name_Space. This ensures that we don't remove the
- backing store file.
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Modified the ACE_Mem_Map::remove method to call
- ACE_Mem_Map::close() in order to share code.
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Modified the ACE_Mem_Map::close() method so
- that it unmaps the mapped region before closing down the backing
- store. This prevents "dangling mapping."
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (ACE_Local_Name_Space): Initialized all
- the pointers to NULL.
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ACE_Atomic_Op): Enhanced the Atomic_Op
- implementation by adding an assignment operator and disallowing
- the copy constructor (forcing objects of ACE_Atomic_Op to be
- passed by reference).
-
- * examples/Naming/Client/Client_Test: Reorganized the code for
- Client_Test so that it will run correctly as a Win32 netsvc
- (e.g., added the ACE_Svc_Export macro).
-
-Sun Apr 21 20:23:40 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Naming_Context.cpp (close): Added a new method to
- Naming_Context called close() that deletes the instance of
- name_space_.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (ACE_Local_Name_Space): Added stuff to
- the destructor of Local_Name_Space so that it calls remove on
- the allocator_ to ensure we unmap the file. Also, we delete the
- allocator_.
-
- * examples/Naming/Client/Client_Test.cpp (set_proc_local): Changed
- set_proc_local (), set_node_local() and set_host() so that
- before we change name space, we do a close() on
- Naming_Context. The close ensures that we unmap the file as well
- as delete the instance of the name space.
-
-Sat Apr 20 12:39:20 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Removed the Name_Options.* files and merged the
- ACE_Name_Options class into Naming_Context.*. This simplifies
- some order of include problems...
-
- * ace/Naming_Context.cpp (init): Switched the code so that rather
- than always opening with ACE_Naming_Context::PROC_LOCAL, we use
- ACE_Name_Options::context(), which can be overridden by using
- the new -c command-line option (e.g., -c NODE_LOCAL). Thanks to
- Dieter for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Modified the Win32 implementation of all the
- ACE_OS::flock_*lock() methods so that they'd have the same
- behavior as the UNIX ones with respect to a length of 0 meaning
- "lock the entire length of the file." This works, of course, by
- having each method check if len == 0, and if so, calling
- GetFileSize() to set the size of the file.
-
- * ace/Synch.h: Changed the default len value for all the
- File_Lock::*acquire* methods to 1 rather than 0 to work around a
- problem with Win32. Thanks to Detlef for reporting this.
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Added a strdup() of the LD_SEARCH_PATH
- returned by getenv() so that we don't overwrite the environment
- variable by using strtok(). Thanks very much to Prashant for
- figuring this out!
-
-Thu Apr 18 22:13:43 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/Naming/Client/Client_Test.cpp (list_value_entries):
- Added check in list_name_entries and list_value_entries to see
- if type actually exists before trying to print it out.
-
-Wed Apr 17 16:40:42 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.14 for testing.
-
- * Added Tim Harrison's new instructions for building and using ACE
- as a DLL and SLL on Win32.
-
- * ace/Svc_Conf.h: Due to the new changes to the yacc code, I had
- to move the definition of YYSTYPE into the Svc_Conf.h file
- rather than have it in the Svc_Conf.y file. This solves a
- variety of multiple-inclusion problems...
-
- * ace: Modified all the yacc token symbols so that they will be
- prefixed with ACE_. This avoids namespace pollution problems.
-
- * Added the ACE_STATIC_SVC* macro support to a number of files so
- that the static versions of all the ACE services will be
- registered with the ACE Service Repository correctly. Thanks to
- Jesper for pointing this out!
-
- * ace/OS.h: the first occurence of
-
- typedef thread_t tid_t;
-
- in the OS.h file should read
-
- typedef pthread_t tid_t;
-
- Thanks to Jan Rychter <jwr@icm.edu.pl> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Read_Buffer.cpp: Fixed rec_read() so that it will fail
- correctly when new fails!
-
-Wed Apr 17 19:05:42 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (type_request): Here is a brief
- description of the changes made to ACE_Name_Handler to simplify
- the dispatch method and make it more elegant:
-
- 1) I created a table called op_table_. It contains pointers to
- member functions of ACE_Name_Handler. This table can be
- indexed using the msg_type. However, I went one step further
- to have all the list methods be grouped under two
- methods. That is, requests for list_names, list_values, and
- list_types are handled by one method called lists() and
- similarly, requests for list_name_entries,
- list_value_entries, and list_type_entries are handled by
- another method called lists_entries(). A MASK is used to have
- the op_table_ index to the same method for these requests.
-
- 2) I also created another table called list_table_. This is
- primarily used by lists() to keep track of a couple of things:
- + pointers to member functions of Name_Handler that
- handle the actual request.
- + pointers to member functions of Name_Handler that act
- as factories to create the appropriate request to
- send back.
- + description of the message type.
-
- A different MASK is used to index into the list_table_ to
- invoke the appropriate method or get the appropriate description.
-
- 3) Within the method lists_entries(), I once again make use of
- the pointers to member functions technique. This time,
- however, I use pointers to member functions of Naming_Context
- which I assign in the switch statement.
-
-Tue Apr 16 13:03:49 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.13 for testing.
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.i: moved the get_port_number routine up to the top
- of the file so it gets defined before it is used. Linux did not
- like it where it was... Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting
- this.
-
- * ace: Split the Dump.* files into Dump_T.* files. This is
- necessary to support the template policies of various C++
- compilers.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (dump): Fixed an erroneous use of -> since
- guard_ is a non-pointer... Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting
- this.
-
- * ace/Log_Record.cpp (print): Finally figured out how to do
- extensible ostream logging so that it will seamlessly work with
- ACE_Log_Msg. This required one change to ACE_Log_Record,
- however. In Log_Record.cpp:
-
- In ACE_Log_Record::print(char *, int, ostream, size_t len), added
-
- char *t = this->msg_data_[len - 1];
-
- if (t == '\n')
- *t = '\0';
-
- s << this->msg_data_ << endl;
-
- This is required because the virtual function overflow() in
- streambuf does not get called until endl is called to flush the
- buffer. Note that (at least on AIX), '\n' is treated separately
- from endl and will not cause the overflow() function to be
- called. Thanks to Chris Lahey for this idea.
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new wrapper for strrchr().
-
- * ace/Token_Collection.cpp (renew): Added a cast of
- (const char *) to token_name so that the conversion operator
- will get called correctly. Thanks to Gonzalo Diethelm
- <gonzo@ing.puc.cl> for reporting this.
-
-Tue Apr 16 13:29:32 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Name_Request_Reply.cpp (decode): Fixed a small bug in encode()
- and decode() of ACE_Name_Request. When doing ntohs and htons, we
- only ought to do it for the name and value part of data. type
- needed to be left alone since it is not a short.
-
-Mon Apr 15 02:31:00 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_orbix.GNU: Added
- David.L.Sames.1@gsfc.nasa.gov (David Sames) config*.h file and
- platform_*.GNU file for HP/UX 9.x using Orbix.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Fixed all uses of pthread_cleanup_{pop,push} so that
- they will work correctly if (1) the OS implements the as macros
- and (2) if these macros must obey strict nesting rules...
- Thanks to Reginald S. Perry <perry@zso.dec.com> for pointing out
- how to do this effectively.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Fixed a typo where the typedef
-
- typedef (ACE_Thread_Manager::*THR_FUNC)(int, int);
-
- was lacking a return value. Thanks to Reginald S. Perry
- <perry@zso.dec.com> for reporting this.
-
- * netsvcs/bin/main.cpp (main): Fixed the main program so that it
- passes the options correctly for the statically linked service
- invocations. Thanks to Jesper for reporting this.
-
- * examples/Naming/Client/Client_Test: Updated the client test
- program so that it will work on Window NT, where it's not valid
- to select() on non-socket HANDLEs (ugh). Thanks to Jesper for
- pointing this out...
-
- * Released version 4.0.11 for testing.
-
-Mon Apr 15 00:20:02 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (strstr): Fixed ACE_NS_String::strstr
- to function properly. It was assuming that length of the pattern
- as well as the string was in units of ACE_USHORT16 when in
- reality the length is number of bytes.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (value_): Modified ACE_NS_Internal so
- that instead of taking an ACE_NS_String for type, it now take a
- char*. It therefore keeps type around as a char*. This should
- help solve some problems we were encountering with byte ordering
- when sending data between NT machines and Sun.
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp: Cleaned up lists_entries by making
- use of pointer to member functions. A single call to the
- appropriate list method takes care of everything.
-
-Sun Apr 14 16:21:32 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.i (addr_to_string): Swapped the order that the
- hostname and port number are printed to make this consistent
- with the way that ACE_INET_Addr::string_to_addr works. Thanks
- to Ashish Singhai <singhai@delirius.cs.uiuc.edu> for pointing
- this out.
-
- * ace/TLI_Acceptor: Changed the methods to take an ACE_Addr rather
- than an ACE_INET_Addr. This allows other address families (such
- as DECnet) to be used with the TLI wrappers. Thanks to Ajit
- Sagar <asagar@spdmail.spd.dsccc.com> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (list_types): Removed the use of
- regular expression matching for the name and value types of the
- name server and replaced these with substring matching instead.
- This is necessary since we're working with wide characters here,
- and it doesn't make any sense to perform regular expressions on
- these puppies...
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Added a new strstr() method on all the
- ACE_NS_String class so that we can compare substrings for wide
- character types.
-
- * ace/SString: Added a new strstr() method on all the
- ACE_[WSC]String classes so that we can compare substrings,
- even for wide character types!
-
- * apps/gperf: Incorporated the GNU gperf program from the FSF.
- We're going to make some improvements to this for a subsequent
- paper.
-
-Sun Apr 14 15:30:05 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Name_Request_Reply.h: Changed the enum values for the
- Constants such as BIND, REBIND, etc. The new values allow us to
- do bitwise operations using MASK to be able to dispatch the same
- method for all the list operations. For use case of this, please
- see Name_Handler::dispatch().
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (dispatch): Completely changed
- dispatch() so that now it uses a table of pointer to member
- functions to call the appropriate method when a request
- arrives. In addition, requests for LIST_NAMES, LIST_VALUES, and
- LIST_ENTRIES are now handled by one method called lists() in which
- I factored out a lot of common code. Similarly, requests for
- LIST_NAME_ENTRIES, LIST_VALUE_ENTRIES, and LIST_TYPE_ENTRIES are
- handled by lists_entries(). This has really cleaned up the code.
-
-Sat Apr 13 15:26:51 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Name_Request_Reply.cpp: Made changes so that all
- byte-ordering computations take place in encode and decode
- methods of ACE_Name_Request_Reply and ACE_Name_Reply
- only. Previously some of these computations were taking place in
- Get/Set methods such as name_len() which was highly error prone.
- (init): Added new methods called init() to both ACE_Name_Request
- and ACE_Name_Reply that initialize length to size of transfer_. This
- is needed since the length gets set only once in the constructor
- and after that each call to encode() switches the byte ordering
- causing problems.
-
-Sat Apr 13 11:44:16 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.10 for testing.
-
- * ace: Removed the ACE_HAS_THREAD_T macro from various places.
- This was unnecessary given the new scheme for dealing with
- threading.
-
- * ace/config-linux-pthread.h: Fixed a typo that was preventing
- compilation from working. Thanks to Jan Rychter
- <jwr@icm.edu.pl> for finding this.
-
-Fri Apr 12 13:17:47 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * apps/Gateway/Gateway: The gateway application appears to
- be working again!
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): Based on conversations with Chris
- Lahey, modified the pthreads ACE_OS::thr_create implementation
- so that it doesn't try to assign the hthread_t thr_handle since
- this is meaningless in pthreads...
-
- * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.cpp: Fixed a typo that was causing
- the system to go into an infinite loop when the config file was
- empty!
-
- * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.cpp: I was forgetting to set the
- line_number to 0 before calling read_entry()...
-
- * ace/Parse_Node.cpp: Fixed a dumb error that arose because I
- forgot that you can't call dlerror() twice and get the same
- result (it returns NULL the second time). As usual, RTFM.
-
- * ace: Removed ACE_HAS_TLI from all the SunOS 4.x config*.h files
- and platform_*.GNU files. There are just too many bugs with TLI
- on SunOS 4.x to support it by default...
-
- * examples: Made some minor fixes to make the examples all compile
- with GCC.
-
- * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway: Reimplemented the Gateway
- application as to be an ACE network service. This should make
- life much easier on platforms with broken C++ templates...
-
- * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Revised the Config_Parser.* files so that
- templates would be split from the non-templates. This avoids
- bugs with some C++ compilers...
-
- * ChangeLog: added the ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SPECIALIZATION flag
- to the config-linux-pthreads.h file. Thanks to
- Jean-Francois.Ripouteau@netsurf.org for reporting this, and also
- for archiving the ACE mailing list.
-
-Thu Apr 11 01:37:25 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Released version 4.0.9 for testing.
-
- * ace: regenerated all the manual pages and html pages.
-
- * Built ACE successfully on SGI IRIX 5.3 using GNU G++ 2.7.2.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: renamed the descriptor() accessor methods to
- hthread_descriptor() and thread_descriptor() to avoid
- ambiguities due to the fact that hthread_t and thread_t can now
- be the same type.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: revised the hthread_t so that it is always
- large enough to hold valid thread ids.
-
- * ace: Moved the config-osf1.h file to be named config-osf1-3.2.h
- in anticipation of OSF/1 4.0...
-
- * ace: Changed all occurrences of wchar_t to ACE_USHORT16, which
- is a more portable way of representing wchar_t's so that we can
- pass them across the network... Unfortunately, wchar_t tends to
- be different sizes on different machines, so we can't use the
- binary form!!!
-
- * ace: Added many, many small changes to get ACE to compile on
- OSF/1 3.2D using DEC C++ 5.3. Thanks to Tom Marrs
- <0002104588@mcimail.com> for slogging through all of this stuff!
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Fixed a stupid oversight where I forgot to
- add a -1 to the trailing argument of spawn*. Thanks to Neil
- Cohen for spotting this.
-
- * ace: Added a new ACE config file for AIX 3.2.5 courtesy of Bob
- Olson <olson@mcs.anl.gov>. In addition, I changed the name of the
- config-aix.h file to be config-aix-4.1.x.h and called the new
- file config-aix-3.2.5.h.
-
- * apps/Synch-Benchmarks/Benchmark.cpp: Added template
- specializations for ACE_TSS and ACE_Atomic_Op. Thanks to Matt
- Stevens for pointing out the need for this.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler: Added a number of fixes to get the ACE
- CORBA_Handler to compile on Win32 with Orbix 2.0. Thanks to
- Rich Ryan <rryan@mseng.kla.com> for these fixes.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): Fixed a small bug in the pthreads
- thr_create() code by dereferencing p_thr before casting it
- to hthread_t and assigning it to *thr_handle.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Backed out the previous changes of pthread_cleanup*.
- It turns out that on SunOS 5.5 these macros force a certain
- style of programming this is hard to integrate with the existing
- implementations of other ACE wrapper methods. Fortunately, none
- of this affects existing ACE code since we just use the default
- solaris threads API in this case...
-
- * ace/OS.i: Modified the order of #ifdefs in various ACE_OS::thr_*
- methods to take advantage of the pthreads features on Solaris
- 2.5.
-
- * ace: Removed the last few typos that prevented ACE from building
- on SunOS 4.x with G++...
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: Changed spawn() and spawn_n() so that
- they optionally take a group parameter and automatically add
- this to an existing thread group. That way we don't need to
- spawn the thread(s) and then reassign them after the fact.
- The new API automatically assigns the thread(s) to the group
- you specify. Thanks to Chris Lahey for this idea.
-
- * ace: Fully integrated POSIX pthreads into the ACE build for
- Solaris 2.5.
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp: Rearranged the Server
- Logging files so that things will compile and link correctly
- using stock GNU G++.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (ACE_Log_Msg): Forgot to initialize the ostream
- * to 0. This was causing problems for Win32...
-
- * ace: *Finally* got the static and dynamic ACE libraries to
- compile on SunOS 4.x using stock G++!
-
- * ace/Synch_T.h: Added a new macro called ACE_SYNCH that will
- be ACE_NULL_SYNCH if !ACE_HAS_THREADS and ACE_MT_SYNCH if
- ACE_HAS_THREADS.
-
- * ace/Service_Record.cpp: Changed this to use ACE_SYNCH. This
- will fix template problems with G++ on SunOS 4.x.
-
- * build/SunOS5.5/ace/OS.i (sema_wait): Changed all uses of
- ::pthread_cleanup_{push,pop} to pthread_cleanup_{push,pop} since
- these are implemented as macros on Solaris....
-
-Thu Apr 11 19:43:33 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/Naming/Dump_Restore/Dump_Restore.cpp (init): Modified
- Dump_Restore in order to work correctly without having
- Name_Options around as a Singleton.
-
- * examples/Naming/Client/Client_Test.cpp (set_host): Modified
- Client_Test in order to work correctly without having
- Name_Options around as a Singleton. It simply uses the accessor
- provided by Naming_Context to get to Name_Options.
-
- * ace/Name_Options.cpp: Changed Name_Options so that it is no
- longer a Singleton. As a result, now there is an instance of
- Name_Options per Naming_Context. Note that for an application to
- change Name_Options, it can use the accessor function provided
- in Naming_Context. As a consequence of all these changes, we can
- now have multiple Naming_Contexts per application.
-
-Wed Apr 10 20:19:50 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.h: Incorporated a mapping for Solaris 2.5 pthreads so
- that it fits in nicely with the earlier ACE pthreads support.
- From now on, the pthreads API will be the default threading
- scheme for ACE on Solaris 2.5...
-
- * ace: Added the file name to every *.cpp and *.i file in ACE.
- This makes it easier to figure out what's what when looking at
- the source code. Thanks to Chris Lahey for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp (ACE_CORBA_Handler): Added bodies for
- the copy constructor and assignment operator of ACE_CORBA_Handler
- (which are private) since some compilers generate link errors
- for these! Thanks to Rich Ryan <rryan@mseng.kla.com> for
- pointing this out.
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ts_get): at line 270 (within
- ACE_TSS<TYPE>::ts_get (void) const) there was a keycreate() call
- that did not have an instance pointer pass in with it. The
- symptom has been that if the last active task has been finished
- all active tasks being created afterwards won't get the close()
- hook invoked. I've fixed this in order to solve a mysterious
- bug with ACE_TSS. Thanks to the ever-vigilant Detlef for
- reporting this bug and fix.
-
-Wed Apr 10 01:56:52 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Added the ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SPECIALIZATION to
- config-sunos5.5-g++.h file. This should allow ACE to build
- correctly. Thanks to Adam Miller <adam@royalblueny.com> for
- pointing this out.
-
- * ace: Installed SunOS 5.5, so now we can finally test pthreads!
-
- * ace/OS: Modified the implementation of mutex_t for Win32 so that
- it automatically selects the CRITICAL_SECTION or the HANDLE form
- of Mutex depending on whether the type argument is USYNC_THREAD
- or USYNC_PROCESS, respectively. This now means that all the
- existing ACE code that used ACE_Condition<ACE_Mutex> will
- continue to work correctly on Win32 and UNIX!
-
-Tue Apr 9 23:04:30 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Synch: Somehow, the definitions for ACE_Thread_Semaphore and
- ACE_Process_Semaphore were MIA. I've added the implementations.
- Thanks to Bruce Worden <bruce@betsy.gps.caltech.edu> for
- noticing this...
-
-Tue Apr 9 02:16:02 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp: reordered the #includes in this file so
- that it works correctly on Win32. Thanks to Rich Ryan
- <rryan@mseng.kla.com> for help with this.
-
- * ace/Auto_Ptr.cpp (remove): added the implementations of the
- auto_ptr::remove() and auto_array_ptr::remove() static methods.
- Thanks to Chris Lahey for noticing their absence...
-
- * ace/Auto_Ptr: Added the #pragma implementation ("Auto_Ptr.cpp")
- statement if defined ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_PRAGMA to work on
- AIX. Thanks to Chris Lahey for this.
-
- * ace/Makefile: Moved Auto_Ptr from FILES to TEMPLATE_FILES to
- work on AIX. Thanks to Chris Lahey for pointing this out.
-
- * Modified a bunch of the apps and example Makefiles so that
- things will build better using G++.
-
- * ace/Name_Options.cpp (parse_args): Made the "database" name the
- same as the process name by default...
-
- * ace/Reactor.h: Changed the type of current_ in
- ACE_Handler_Repository_Iterator from size_t to ssize_t so that
- this can handle negative numbers. Thanks to Mark Zusman
- <marklz@rotem.technion.ac.il> for reporting this.
-
-Mon Apr 8 23:33:15 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (recv_request): Fixed a small
- bug. In recv_request() ntohl was being called again on length
- which was causing problems since the length was already in host
- byte order. The ACE Name Server should now be working on NT.
-
-Mon Apr 8 02:14:30 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Fixed a number of minor problems that caused duplicate
- symbols when linking ACE with G++ (no-repo) on SunOS 5.x and
- SunOS 4.x. Thanks to Andy Gokhale for help with this.
-
- * ace: Added Jan Rychter <jwr@icm.edu.pl> very nice contribution
- of pthreads and DCE threads to ACE. This should make life
- easier for Linux users and users of other pthreads packages.
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp (process_directives): Changed the code to
- use an auto_ptr to make sure that we always release the
- ace_obstack memory, regardless of how we exit.
-
- * ace/OS.i (strerror): Changed sys_errlist to _sys_errlist to work
- around bugs with SunOS 4.x. This will undoubted break some
- other twisted UNIX system.
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens.cpp (acquire): Added a return 0 at the very
- end... Thanks to Chris Lahey for reporting this (yet
- again... ;-)).
-
- * ace/Parse_Node: Made a bunch of small changes to deal with the
- fact that there's no dlerror() equivalent on NT...
-
- * ace/Task.h: The static function instance() should return
- ACE_Task_Exit<ACE_SYNCH_1>* (or <ACE_SYNCH_2>), not
- ACE_Task_Exit *. Thanks to Chris Lahey for spotting this.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: added an argument to the exit() method
- that allows applications to exit without calling thr_exit. This
- would allow the method to be called from within a pthread
- cancellation cleanup routine, without calling thr_exit a 2nd
- time. Thanks to Chris Lahey for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Log_Record.cpp (operator <<): Changed the verbose option so
- that it is an attribute, this will allow the ostream to print
- verbose information if necessary. Thanks to Chris Lahey for
- suggesting this change.
-
- * ace/config-win32-msvc*.h: Added the
- ACE_LACKS_STATIC_DATA_MEMBER_TEMPLATES flag since it appears
- that this causes problem with some versions of MSVC++ 4.0...
-
- * Released version 4.0.6 for testing.
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.h: #included the
- Svc_Handler.h file, that absence of which was causing problems
- for HP/UX. Thanks to Richard Orr
- <rorr@costello.den.csci.csc.com> for reporting this.
-
- * Made a few minor changes to the source to make sure that it
- compiles correctly on SunOS 5.x with G++.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Added the insert() method for the non-MT
- version of Thread_Manager. Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Task: Renamed the static double-check lock_ to
- ace_task_lock_ to avoid a name conflict with the existing
- this->lock_ instance in each class. Thanks to Prashant for
- tracking this down...
-
-Sun Apr 7 14:40:05 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_Thr_Stream.cpp:
- Rolled back a change that replaced #defines with typedefs. It
- turned out the #defines were there for a reason... Thanks Neil
- B. Cohen <nbc@metsci.com> for pointing this out...
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added a new check to deal with the fact that many
- versions of Pthreads don't support tid_t (which seems to be an
- AIXism...).
-
-Thu Apr 4 01:19:19 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Officially released version 4.0.5...
-
- * ace/OS.h (ACE_TSS_TYPE): Somehow the ACE_TSS_TYPE macros ended
- up *before* the inclusion of Time_Value.h, which meant that
- these macros weren't being expanded properly. This may help
- explain odd behavior with ACE TSS.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (insert): Added a new method that allows
- us to insert a thread into an ACE_Thread_Control after it's been
- constructed.
-
- * ace/Message_Block: Fixed a typo in the init() method. Thanks to
- Ross Dargahi <rossd@krinfo.com> for noticing this.
-
- * ChangeLog: Finally got all of ACE built on SunOS 5.x and SunOS
- 4.x using only the stock GNU GCC compiler (i.e., no template
- repository...). This should make it easier to port to other
- versions of G++.
-
- * ace/Task: Modified the ACE_Task and ACE_Task_Exit implemenation
- so that it only uses 1 TSS key per ACE_Task template
- instantation, rather than 1 TSS key per ACE_Task instance. This
- works around horrible limitations with Win32...
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: Added new methods to set and get the
- Thread_Manager used in a Thread_Control.
-
- * ace/Pipe.cpp (open): Fixed a bug in where ACE_Pipe::open did not
- set this->handles_, thus a garbage handle gets registered.
- Inserted the following two lines at line 53 of Pipe.cpp:
-
- this->handles_[0] = reader.get_handle ();
- this->handles_[1] = writer.get_handle ();
-
- Thanks to Kirk Sinnard <kirk.sinnard@lawson.com> for this fix.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added a couple of fixes for the SCO port. Thanks
- again to Matt Newhook <matthew@neweast.ca>
-
- * ace/OS.cpp: Integrated Detlef's clever scheme for freeing up
- thread-specific storage correctly on Win32...
-
- * ace/Task.cpp (ACE_Task): Made sure to initialize the
- next_-pointer of ACE_TASK and Message_Queue point to NULL.
- This fixes a problem on NT. Thanks to Karlheinz for
- noticing this...
-
- * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU (VLIB): Fixed up the ACE
- makefiles so that we can now build on SunOS 4.x correctly
- without using the template repositories...
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp: Added a bunch of template
- specializations so that GNU G++ can be used to compile ACE on
- SunOS 4.x *without* requiring the template repository hacks...
- Thanks to Mark Zusman for helping with this.
-
-Wed Apr 3 00:55:12 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * examples/Reactor/Misc/test_reactors.cpp: Added a new torture
- test of the ACE_Reactor and ACE_Task. Thanks to Detlef for
- contributing this...
-
- * netsvcs/bin/Makefile: Removed a stray -lACE_svcs from the
- Makefile. Thanks to Matt Stevens for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Synch.cpp: Fixed two mistakes related to keeping INLINE on
- the get_thread_id() and get_nesting_level() when I moved them
- into the *.cpp file... Thanks to Matt Stevens for finding this.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (owner): modified owner() so that it returns
- the original owner when setting a new owner. This makes it
- possible to write code like this:
-
- thread_t t;
-
- reactor->owner (ACE_Thread::self (), &t);
- reactor->handle_events ();
- reactor->owner (t);
-
- * ace/SOCK_Connector.cpp (connect): Added an additional check for
- errno == EWOULDBLOCK for non-blocking connects due to screwy
- semantics of Win32 non-blocking sockets...
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler: Fixed a very obscure bug
- that arose due to the way that UNIX select() interacts with
- SVR4 MSG_BAND data. It turns out that you must use the
- ACE_Event_Handler::EXCEPT_MASK to get this to work properly
- (gag). This stuff is much easier with SVR4 poll().
-
-Tue Apr 2 13:57:05 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i: Fixed an error compiling the new Log_Msg.cpp because
- when it inlined OS.i, there were references to
- ACE_OS::thread_mutex_*() before the functions were declared
- inline. The references were assumed to be external, and then
- when the linkage was actually declared as inline, the compiler
- choked. To fix this, in OS.i, all the thread_mutex_* calls
- where moved above the first reference, which was in
- ACE_OS::cond_broadcast(). Also moved the mutex*() calls since
- they are referenced by the thread_mutex calls. So the order is
- mutex*(), then thread_mutex*(), and then cond*(). Thanks to
- Chris Lahey for reporting this.
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp: Added missing return
- values in some of the methods. Thanks to Tim Harrison for
- spotting this...
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (shared_unbind): It was possible that INT_ID
- could be assigned a value from a previously unbound map entry.
- The shared_unbind matches the ext_id, but does not see if the
- entry had previously been unbound. This causes a problem if the
- INT_ID type is a pointer type, and the user of the map deletes
- objects as a result of the unbind returning a 0. The correct
- solution is to include a test for is_free in the shared_unbind
- before checking the equality of the ext_id. Thanks to Phil
- Mesnier <phil@envision.com> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (next): Fixed a bug that prevented the
- iterator's next() method from detecting the end of the
- iteration. Thanks to Mark Zusman <marklz@rotem.technion.ac.il>
- for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (advance): Fixed a bug that prevented the
- iterator from advancing. Thanks to Mark Zusman
- <marklz@rotem.technion.ac.il> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (open): Added a check for logger_key being NULL,
- in which case we log to STDERR rather than segfault...
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.h: Fixed a typo in
- the declaration of
-
- ACE_SVC_FACTORY_DECLARE (ACE_Server_Logging_Acceptor)
-
- Thanks to Neil Cohen for finding this.
-
-Mon Apr 1 00:17:21 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Time_Value.i: Fixed two stupid bugs in the Time_Value
- relational operators. Thanks to Mathew Newhook
- <matthew@thor.udc.neweast.ca> for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added an extern "C" block around the netdb, net/if.h,
- netinet/in.h, arpa/inet.h to work around problems with SCO.
- Thanks to Mathew Newhook <matthew@thor.udc.neweast.ca> for this.
-
- * ace/Reactor: Merged the ACE_Pipe into the Reactor
- implementation. This cleans up some nasty OS-specific code in a
- clean way.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp (ACE_MT_CORBA_Handler): Fixed some typos
- that arose during the transition to the ACE_Pipe.
-
- * ace/Pipe: Added a new open() method that doesn't return the
- handles, it just stashes them away for safe keeping. This is
- useful for places like the Reactor.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.h: Added ACE_Export to the front of
- ACE_NS_String. Thanks to Detlef for suggesting this.
-
- * From now on, I'll be numbering each new release of ACE with a
- different minor number. However, the latest version of ACE will
- also always be available at
-
- http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.tar.gz
-
- This is useful if you just want to get the latest one without
- having to bother with keeping track of minor numbers. For
- instance, that way you can still keep that reference in my
- bookmark list and you don't have to remodify it with every
- release. Thanks to the ever-vigilant Chris Lahey for suggesting
- this.
-
- * ace: added new a ACE project file (ace.mdp) and Makefile
- (ace.mak) to create ACE as a DLL on Win32. This should greatly
- simplify the Win32 build process...
-
- * INSTALL: Added new INSTALL file explaining how to build for
- Win32.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Fixed a horrible bug with Win32. On
- reasonable systems ACE_Thread::exit() should not return.
- However, due to horrible semantics with Win32 thread-specific
- storage this call can return (don't ask...). Therefore, we need
- to reacquire the mutex so that we don't get burned when the
- Guard automatically releases it when this method returns. Thanks
- to Tim for helping me figure this out.
-
- * ace: Fixed some problems with errno in Remote_Tokens and
- Local_Tokens.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp: Fixed an annoying preponderance of useless
- ACE_MT_SAFE #ifdefs in the Reactor implementation. Thanks to
- Gerolf Wendland <wendland@hpp015.mch2.scn.de> for pointing this
- out!

-
- * ace/OS: Changed the implementation of cond_t and rwlock_t for
- Win32 to use thread_mutex_t (i.e., CRITICAL_SECTIONS) rather
- than mutex_t (i.e., Win32 Mutexes). This should improve
- performance without sacrificing generality (of which there is
- none at the moment since we don't have process-wide condition
- variables or readers/writer locks on Win32 anyway..
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (remove_thr): Fixed bugs in the
- ACE_Thread_Manager class. The wait() member grabbed the
- Thread_Mutex lock_, then (if the current_count is not zero)
- grabs the Condition lock zero_cond_. Doing so, however
- implicitly released lock_, which meant that another thread could
- get into wait(), and wait on zero_cond_. zero_cond_ was only
- signaled from ACE_Thread_Manager::remove_thr() when the
- current_count_ is zero, but it signaled with
- ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex::signal(), which only releases one
- thread that is waiting on the Mutex. Thus, any other threads
- waiting on zero_cond_ would never be resumed. The fix was to
- use ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex::broadcast() rather than
- ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex::signal() in
- ACE_Thread_Manager::remove_thr(). This fix is only reliable
- since remove_thr() is called only when ACE_Thread_Manager::lock_
- is held by the calling thread. Thank to Bruce Worden
- <bruce@seismo.gps.caltech.edu> for reporting problem and
- suggesting this fix.
-
- * ace/Token: Modified this class so that it only works with
- ACE_Thread_Mutex (which is more precise than what was going on
- before...).
-
- * ace/Synch.h: Modified ACE_RW_Process_Mutex so that on Win32 it
- uses ACE_Process_Mutex until we've got a working
- RW_Process_Mutex for Win32...
-
- * ace/Synch: Removed the ACE_Process_Barrier until we get a
- working implementation...
-
- * ace/Synch: Changed the ACE_Barrier so that it only tries to work
- within a single process.
-
- * ace: Changed all uses of ACE_Condition_Mutex to
- ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex to reflect what's really going on
- here...
-
- * Changed all uses of ACE_Mutex to ACE_Thread_Mutex throughout
- ACE. This is *much* more meaningful and makes it possible to do
- some great optimizations on Win32!
-
- * ace: Changed all uses of ACE_Mutex_Guard to
- ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard. This is a more accurate name for how
- this is used in ACE.
-
- * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Server: Reengineered the ACE
- Client_Logging service so that fits into the ACE network service
- format. This version is particularly interesting since it
- illustrates a "Connector-driven" service. In contrast, all the
- other ACE network services are "Acceptor-driven" services.
-
- * netsvcs: Merged the implementation of all the ACE network
- services into a single ./netsvcs/lib directory. Each of these
- is now a fully dynamically linkable service. Created a single
- main.cpp program in the ./netsvcs/bin directory. This main
- illustrates how to dynamically link an or all of the ACE network
- services to form complete applications. Thanks to Prashant for
- help with this.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp: Changed readv() and writev() so that they will once
- again compile for Win32. Note, however, that if you try to
- readv() and writev() on the same descriptor you will lose since
- they are not atomic! However, this stuff is stuff useful if
- you're *not* reading/writing to a common descriptor...
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp: Removed the ACE_Null_Condition<> template.
- This didn't really make any sense...
-
- * ace/OS: Changed the test of lock_.get_nesting_level() in
- ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit () to account for the fact that a
- ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex now starts out with a nesting level
- of 1 when it is first acquired.
-
- * ace/Synch_T: Removed the implementation of ACE_Recursive_Lock.
- It just doesn't generalize correctly to other types of
- synchronization mechanisms...
-
- * ace/Synch: Reimplemented ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex using Dave
- Butenhof's <butenhof@zko.dec.com> strategy. This fixes some
- latent race conditions in the original implementation.
-
- * ace: Changed the name of ACE_Recursive_Mutex to
- ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex since the current implementation
- really only works for Thread_Mutexes or Thread_RW_Mutexes...
-
- * ace: Removed the "Assert.h" file and moved its functionality
- into Log_Msg.h. This is more consistent with the rest of the
- error reporting and logging in ACE and also avoids some nasty
- circular include problems.
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens.cpp: Changed the use of ACE_RETURN so that it
- passes in errno.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Changed the arguments to the ACE_RETURN macro so
- that errno can be returned explicitly.
-
-Sun Mar 31 15:52:58 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (create_manager): Added three new
- methods -- list_name_entries, list_name_values, and
- list_name_types. They work similar to list_names, list_values,
- and list_types (respectively) except they return the entire
- tuple associated with a name binding.
-
-Sat Mar 30 16:46:32 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/SPIPE_Stream.i (send_handle): There was a typo -- the
- parameter shouldn't be "const ACE_HANDLE handle", it should
- just be ACE_HANDLE handle.
-
-Sat Mar 30 16:09:25 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * INSTALL: Added new Win32 installation instructions to build
- ACE as a DLL.
-
-Sat Mar 30 14:42:02 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Carefully tested ACE on SGI and SunOS 5.x using G++ and CC.
- Everything seems to work now... Released version 4.0.2.
-
- * ace/Acceptor.cpp (ACE_Strategy_Acceptor): Added default
- initializations of NULL for service_name_ and
- service_description_ in the ACE_Strategy_Acceptor's default
- constructor.
-
- * ace: Fixed a slew of warnings for HP/UX. Thanks to John Morey
- for reporting these.
-
- * ace/FILE.h (ACE_FILE_Info): Changed the type of field size_ from
- size_t to off_t to avoid warnings from C++ compilers...
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (ftruncate): Added a new function for platforms like
- SCO that lack ftruncate(). Thanks to Matthew Newhook
- <matthew@neweast.ca> for contributing this.
-
-Sat Mar 30 12:41:16 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@pride.cs.wustl.edu>
-
- * ace: Removed the ACE_svcs library for the time being and merged
- everything back into libACE. There were two reasons for this
- change:
-
- 1. There is a subtle dependency between the ACE_Reactor and the
- ACE_Local_Tokens* stuff when deadlock detection is enabled.
- This was causing problems.
-
- 2. This was driving GNU G++ nuts because of the need to
- do the "prelink."
-
- Sooo, for the time being, there's just one ACE library. If
- anyone wants to take the time to split everything up so that it
- works for all different platforms and send me the fixes I'll be
- glad to include this in ACE.
-
- * ace/Thread.i: Made the ACE_Thread::thr_self() methods call
- down to the ACE_OS::thr_self() methods for the case where
- the platform doesn't support threads. This means that we
- only have to set the default thread id in one place...
-
-Sat Mar 30 11:53:31 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * bin/class2info.awk: Modified the handleClass() AWK function so
- that it can correctly deal with the new ACE_Export and
- ACE_Svc_Export tags needed to build ACE DLLs... Here's the
- trick:
-
- sub( "^[\t ]*class[\t ]+(ACE_[.]*Export[\t ]+)?", "", $0 )
-
- completely intuitive, eh? ;-)
-
- * apps/Gateway: Reimplemented the Gateway prototype so that it
- uses the new Reactor cancel_wakeup() and schedule_wakeup()
- methods instead of mask_ops().
-
- * ace/Reactor: Added new high-level <Event_Handler> "scheduling"
- operations called schedule_wakeup() and cancel_wakeup(). These
- methods utilize the lower-level Reactor mask_ops() methods to
- schedule and cancel Event_Handlers for subsequent dispatching by
- the Reactor. I added these new interfaces because they are more
- intuitive than calling mask_ops(), which is a non-descriptive
- name unless you understand the Reactor implementation...
-
- * ace/config-irix5.*.h: It turns out that on IRIX 5.x the
- bi-directional SVR4 pipe semantics are *disabled* by default.
- Therefore, I've changed the config-irix4.*.h files to comment
- out ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES.
-
-Fri Mar 29 08:25:33 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Changed the character given to strtok() to
- account for the differences in UNIX and Win32 described in the
- follow bullet.
-
- * ace/OS.h: UNIX and Win32 use different characters to separate
- pathnames in their runtime LD search path (':' and ';'
- respectively). Therefore, I've added new macros to ACE OS to
- account for this stuff portably.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Changed the behavior of the ACE_OS::thr_self() methods
- so that they always return 1 if ACE_HAS_THREADS is *not*
- enabled. This makes application code work correctly across
- threaded and non-threaded platforms.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Changed the return value of the Win32 arm of the
- ACE_OS::dlopen() and ACE_OS::dlsym() functions so that they are
- now identical to the way that UNIX behaves.
-
- * ace/Svc_Conf.y: added a #define for ACE_BUILD_DLL to make Win32
- happy...
-
- * ace/Synch.i: Fixed a number of bugs in the ACE_Mutex and
- ACE_Thread_Mutex tryacquire_read() and tryacquire_write()
- methods. I was calling mutex_lock() rather than
- mutex_trylock()! Thanks to Prashant for finding this.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (exit): Fixed a bug caused by the fact that the test
- for the nesting level of the recursive mutex should have been
- for > 0 rather than > 1. Thanks to Kirk Sinnard
- <1764@mn.lawson.lawson.com> for tracking this down!
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Enhanced ACE_Log_Msg so that it automatically
- caches the process id. This makes it more robust even if users
- don't call open()!
-
- * examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-connector.cpp Fixed a bunch
- of typos that caused templates to fail on HP/UX. Thanks to Neil
- Cohen for spotting this.
-
- * ace/Shared_Memory_SV: Change all uses of "int id" to "key_t id"
- to reflect the new use of key_t in the Memory_Pool.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool): Fixed a potential
- but in the construction of an MMAP memory pool. Because NT uses
- strings rather than integers to name its semaphores we were
- passing in junk to the NT Process_Mutex initializer. Arrgh! I
- fixed this problem by typedef'ing key_t to be char * on Win32
- and then updating the ACE_DEFAULT_SEM_KEY to be
- "C:\\temp\ace.sem" rather than 1234.... Also added a new macro
- called ACE_INVALID_SEM_KEY, which is NULL on NT and -1 on UNIX.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (instance): Fixed a typo for HP/UX and
- other non-threaded platforms!
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ACE_TSS_Guard): Added another small fix
- to ACE_TSS_Guard to make sure we free up the key when we
- go away.
-
-Thu Mar 28 15:28:44 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.h: changed the names of macros ACE_DYNAMIC_SVC* to new
- names that reflect their new, more general nature now that we've
- got the ACE_Static_Svcs stuff...
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp (load_defaults): Added a very nice
- mechanism that generalizes the configuration of statically
- linked services. This makes it possible to insert statically
- linked services into a program without changing any of the
- existing ACE_Service_Config code. These static services can
- then be enabled via the svc.conf file using the "static"
- directive. Thanks to Matthew Newhook <matthew@neweast.ca> for
- suggesting this and for doing the bulk of the implementation.
-
- * ace: Commented out the ACE_TRACE calls in ACE_Unbounded_Set,
- ACE_OS, and all the ACE synchronization wrappers to work around
- some horrible dependencies with Win32 and thread-specific
- storage... The moral here is that you have to be careful what
- you trace because circualar dependencies abound... My new
- policy is that low-level routines are not automatically traced
- because they can cause infinite recursion.
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp: Fixed a nasty bug with ACE_TSS_Guard. This was
- causing programs that uses ACE_TSS_Guard to segfault... Thanks
- to Kirk Sinnard <kirk.sinnard@lawson.com> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Synch: Added "lock()" methods to all the ACE synchronization
- wrappers to return the underlying C level object... This is
- necessary at some points in ACE.
-
- * ace/Synch: Fixed a horrible bug in ACE_Recursive_Mutex and
- ACE_Recursive_Lock that was causing instant deadlock because the
- non-recursive Solaris/Pthread mutex was being acquired too
- eagerly...
-
-Thu Mar 28 12:14:57 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (rebind): Added a new method called resize()
- which increases the size of the map. Both open() and
- shared_bind() make use of this method to dynamically increase
- the size of the map.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (shared_bind): Modified shared_bind()
- in accordance to the changes to Map_Manager. shared_bind() no
- longer has to check if the map runs out of room since
- Map_Manager dynamically grows the map.
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (shared_bind): Changed shared_bind() so that
- when the map reaches max_size_, we grow the map by DEFAULT_SIZE
- by making a call to open().
-
-Wed Mar 27 20:00:47 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (shared_bind): Fixed a bug which was
- allocating memory for a name binding which would fail on a bind
- since there already existed a binding. This was causing the
- mapped-file to grow even when binds would fail.
-
-Tue Mar 26 13:49:24 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.i (addr_to_string): Moved the order of
- get_host_addr() so that it comes before addr_to_string().
- Thanks to Neil Cohen for finding this.
-
- * ace/Synch: Added a new implementation of ACE_Thread_Mutex that
- takes advantage of the new ACE_OS::thread_mutex_* mechanisms.
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new set of ACE_OS::thread_mutex_* mechanisms
- that map efficiently to either Win32 CRITICAL_SECTIONs or UNIX
- mutex_t's with type set to USYNC_THREAD. This allows ACE to
- take advantage of the lightweight Win32 synchronization
- mechanisms. When Windows NT 4.0 comes out, we'll at last have a
- perfect mapping since WinNT 4.0 supports
- TryEnterCriticalSection!
-
-Tue Mar 26 17:35:31 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp: Added two new methods -- total_size() and
- current_size() which return the max_size and current_size of the
- map respectively.
-
-Mon Mar 25 20:22:25 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp (initialize): Updated the use of ACE_ARGV
- to use the new method names.
-
- * ace/ARGV.cpp (ACE_ARGV): Changed the name of the two main
- methods of ACE_ARGC from count() and operator&() to argc() and
- argv(). This seems much more consistent with UNIX and C/C++
- naming conventions.
-
- * ace/ARGV.cpp (ACE_ARGV): Added environment variable substitution
- to the ACE_ARGV class using the new ACE::strenvdup() method.
- This is transparently available to the ACE Service Configurator
- now, which enables the svc.conf file to include things like
- this:
-
- dynamic Name_Service Service_Object *
- name_svc.so:make_Name_Service() "-p $PORT -h $HOST"
-
- * ace/ACE: Added a new function called strenvdup() that returns a
- dynamically allocated duplicate of its <str> argument,
- substituting the environment variable if str[0] == '$'.
-
- * ace/Naming_Context: Modified this class so that it now inherits
- from ACE_Service_Config. This enables application programmers
- to dynamically link instances of ACE_Naming_Context into their
- applications via the svc.conf file.
-
- * ace/OS.i (access): Added a new wrapper for the access() method.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Fixed an error in each list_xxx
- methods. If there's an error in the for-loop we must still call
- ACE_OS::free() to release resources. Thanks to the
- ever-vigilant Karlheinz Dorn for spotting this.
-
- * ace/Strategies: added virtual methods with name dump() to
- ACE_Scheduling_Strategy, ACE_Schedule_All_Reactive_Strategy, and
- ACE_Schedule_All_Threaded_Strategy. These methods are
- referenced in ACE_Strategy_Acceptor::dump() method
- (Acceptor.cpp). Thanks to Alexandre Karev for reporting this.
-
- * include/makeinclude: Added a number of changes to allow ACE to
- build shared libraries correctly on AIX. Thanks to Chris Lahey
- for these fixes.
-
- * ace/Makefile: added tempinc to the list of directories to delete
- for "clean". Also, between the call to the two sub make files,
- added a $(RM) -rf tempinc. Since we make both libs from the
- same directory, we need to delete the tempinc directory to be
- sure we don't get the templates generated for libACE included in
- libACE_svcs.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Improved the mapping between ACE Win32 GetLastError()
- values and POSIX-like errnos. This is now centralized in the
- ACE_FAIL_RETURN macro.
-
- * examples/Threads/test_thread_specific.cpp: Added many new tests
- to exercise the ACE thread-specific storage mechanisms on Win32
- and UNIX.
-
-Mon Mar 25 4:00:01 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Name_Options.cpp (parse_args): Added a new data variable
- called database_ that keeps the name of the name server
- database. Also added accessor methods for this.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (create_manager): Changed
- create_manager() to use ACE_Name_Options::instance ()->database
- () instead of ACE_Name_Options::instance ()->process_name().
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (ldopen): Added a new method called ldopen that
- finds a file either using absolute path or using
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If the file is found, it opens the file and
- returns a pointer to the file.
-
- * ace/Parse_Node.cpp: used the new ACE::ldfind() method to locate
- the shared object file. This makes it possible to put
- "relative" names into svc.conf files and then allow ACE to
- locate the appropriate shared object DLL.
-
- * ace/ACE: added new methods called ldopen() and ldfind() that
- find the file <filename> either using absolute path or using
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If found, ldopen() opens the file and returns
- a pointer to the file.
-
-Sun Mar 24 10:41:12 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Compiled ACE successfully on Windows '95.
-
- * ace/OS: Totally redid the ACE thread-specific storage cleanup
- mechanism in OS.cpp to avoid bugs with the previous
- implementation.
-
- * ace/Synch_T: Modified ACE_TSS_Guard so that it will call
- ACE_OS::thr_keyfree () when it's finished. This should help to
- eliminate the unbounded use of thread-specific storage slots
- within a thread.
-
- * ace/Thread: added a new method keyfree() that calls down to the
- ACE_OS::thr_keyfree ().
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Modified the semantics of
- ACE_Thread_Manager::exit () so that it "always" calls
- ACE_Thread::exit () even if the user hasn't registered this
- thread with the thread manager. This avoids some subtle
- problems that arise typically when I forget to put an
- ACE_Thread_Control around the main() function.
-
- * examples/Threads/test_thread_specific.cpp: Added new tests to
- ensure that the Win32 TSS cleanup logic is working correctly!
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Moved the definition of the ACE_FIFO_Send_Msg queue
- from the Log_Msg.h file to the Log_Msg.cpp file. The MSVC++
- compiler was having problems with this when building a DLL.
- Besides, this needs to be replaced with Sockets for Win32
- anyway...
-
- * ace/OS.cpp: Put a safe guard in the readv() and writev()
- emulations so that they return ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN if
- ACE_HAS_THREADS is enabled. This is necessary because the
- readv() and writev() emulations are *not* atomic if multiple
- threads are used. If someone can provide an atomic
- implementation I'll enhance the code to remove the existing
- restrictions.
-
- * ace/OS: Created a new macro called ACE_SYSCALL_FAILED, which is
- mapped to 0xFFFFFFFF on Win32 and -1 on UNIX.
-
- * ace/Synch and Synch_T: cleaned up the implementation of the
- Recursive_Lock and Recursive_Mutex to use the ACE_Guard classes.
- This simplifies the code.
-
-Sat Mar 23 16:53:14 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Updated all ACE classes to use the new ACE_Export macro.
- This will enable them to transparently be used to create a Win32
- DLL. Also added ACE_BUILD_DLL to all the *.cpp files.
-
- * tests/CPP-inserver.cpp (main): Modified CPP-inclient.cpp and
- CPP-inserver.cpp to use non-blocking I/O. In particular,
- CPP-inserver times out on select and then checks to see if any
- connections have arrived. Both applications are also working on
- NT.
-
-Sat Mar 23 15:02:47 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens.cpp (proxy_): Modified the print statement for
- local tokens to account for the fact that thread ids can be
- unsigned on some platforms.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Modified the output format of the %t
- directive to ACE_Log_Msg::log() so that it prints values in
- unsigned form rather than signed form. This fixes a bug with
- Win32 on Windows '95.
-
- * ace/ACE: Added two new methods ACE::read_n() and ACE::write_n().
- These are now necessary since Win32 distinguishes between
- operations on SOCKETs and operations on other forms of HANDLEs.
-
- * ace/ACE: Changed all uses of ACE::set_fl() and ACE::clr_fl() to
- ACE::set_flags() and ACE::clr_flags().
-
- * ace/ACE: Changed the name of ACE function handle_timed_connect()
- to handle_timed_open() since this is reall what it does...
-
-Fri Mar 22 00:11:19 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Stack: Added a "Node of last resort" to the
- ACE_Unbounded_Stack. This ensures we are graceful in the face
- of memory failures.
-
- * ace/OS.i (sleep): Fixed a bug with the Win32 ACE_OS::sleep
- mapping. This should have had an "ACE_OSCALL_RETURN" in it...
-
- * ace/ACE.h: Had forgotten to put "static" in front of "basename".
- Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this...
-
- * ace/Name_Options.cpp (process_name): Changed char * to const
- char * to avoid compile error. Thanks to Neil Cohen for this...
-
- * ace/IPC_SAP: Implemented the enable()/disable() methods to work
- with non-blocking I/O for SOCKETs on Windows NT.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Modified ioctl() to support the ioctlsocket() call on
- Windows NT.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Fixed a bug that was caused by not
- NUL-terminating the logging string properly when a %a is given.
- Thanks to Tim Harrison for finding this.
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new overloaded "ACE_OS::sleep" method that takes
- an ACE_Time_Value rather than a u_int. This is much more useful
- for fine-grained timers than the horrible UNIX sleep() call.
-
- * ace/OS.h: #included "sys\timeb.h" in the Win32 version of ACE.
-
-Thu Mar 21 22:18:50 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * apps: Fixed all incorrect usages of ACE_HANDLE = -1 to use
- ACE_HANDLE = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE in order to work with Win32...
-
- * ace/OS.i (gettimeofday): Replaced the existing implementation of
- gettimeofday with a new version that is shorter, more efficient,
- and most importantly, correct... Thanks to Todd Montgomery. and
- Mike Flinn for this stuff.
-
- * ace/ACE: added a new method called basename() that returns the
- filename portion of a pathname.
-
-Thu Mar 21 21:51:48 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.h (ACE_DEFAULT_GLOBALNAME): Added some new #defines for
- NT: ACE_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE_DIR, ACE_DEFAULT_LOCALNAME, and
- ACE_DEFAULT_GLOBALNAME.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (ACE_Local_Name_Space): Fixed a subtle
- bug. Instead of doing a new char [xxx], I was doing a new char
- (xxx). Also, added some #if defined (ACE_WIN32) to support
- special cases for NT (for example determining the context file
- name).
-
-Wed Mar 20 02:03:39 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): If we're writing to stdout or to an
- iostream make sure the lock is help to avoid race conditions and
- scrambled output.
-
-Tue Mar 19 00:12:25 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Added new default values to spawn() and
- spawn_n().
-
- * ace/OS.i (sigaction): Added support for signals to the ACE NT
- mapping.
-
- * ace/ACE: Added 4 new methods to class ACE: send(), send(),
- recv(), recv(). These calls mask some differences between UNIX
- and Win32 IPC mechanisms. Then, reimplemented the Reactor's
- notification mechanism to use this.
-
- * ace/OS.i (ACE_OSCALL_RETURN): fixed zillions of warnings on
- HP/UX by making a small change to line 151 of the OS.i file.
- Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp: Rewrote the Reactor::notify() mechanism to
- avoid using readv() and writev(). These work fine on UNIX, but
- don't work correctly on Windows NT due to race conditions.
- Basically, we need to reimplement this stuff on Win32 to avoid
- the problem.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added SIGQUIT, SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK, and SIG_SETMASK
- definitions to NT.
-
- * ace/Time_Value: added a new set() method to be consistent with
- the ACE_Time_Value (long, long) constructor.
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp (open): Fixed a bug where the
- ACE_Service_Repository and ACE_Reactor weren't being initialized
- correctly if the ACE_Service_Config::ACE_Service_Config (const
- char *) method was called.
-
- * ace/Service_Config.cpp: Changed the constructor for
- Service_Config so that it doesn't barf if the svc.conf file
- isn't found.
-
-Mon Mar 18 00:34:45 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Reactor.h: Hid the inclusion of the Local_Tokens.h file in
- the Reactor so that by default there will be no dependency
- between libACE and libACE_svcs. This should prevent compilation
- problems on some platforms.
-
- * bin: Included the html-windex shell script from Vincent Pommier
- <pommier@volnay.stortek.com>.
-
- * man: Included a shell script to automatically generate an
- acewindex.html file. This file is useful just after running
- man2html. Thanks to Vincent Pommier
- <pommier@volnay.stortek.com> for contributing this.
-
- * man/html: I've just used the man2html programs to generate the
- html documentation from the man3 directory. It seems to work
- pretty well.
-
- * ace/Assert.h: Added a forward declaration for class ACE_Log_Msg
- to fix problems NuMega preprocessing. Thanks to Mike Flinn
- <mike.flinn@smtpgate.aws.waii.com> for finding this.
-
- * ace: Implemented about 1/3rd of the "dump" methods for the
- various ACE classes.
-
- * ace/Acceptor.cpp (info): Fixed a bug -- should use PR_AD rather
- than ACE_INET_Addr since this is used for SPIPEs as well...
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ACE_TSS): If ACE_Thread::keycreate () fails
- then we do an fprintf() and return at the moment. It doesn't do
- any good to do an ACE_Log_Msg operation since those all require
- thread-specific storage and this will just cause a recursive
- problem...
-
- * ace/OS.cpp: Removed a memory leak in ACE_OS::thr_destory_tss()
- that was caused by forgetting to delete each ACE_TSS_Key_Info
- object when we no longer needed it. Thanks to Mike Flinn
- <mike.flinn@smtpgate.aws.waii.com> for finding this.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp: Added a new method to class ACE_OS called
- thr_keyfree(). This enables us to free up a thread-specific
- storage key on Win32 (it isn't implemented on the UNIX
- platforms).
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (timestamp): In order to get ACE_OS::timestamp to
- work on Win32, the wMonth, wDay, wYear structure members were
- added to the sprintf statement. Thanks to Mike Flinn
- <mike.flinn@smtpgate.aws.waii.com> for this fix.
-
- * examples: Changed all uses of ACE::send_n (1, ...) to
- ACE_OS::write (ACE_STDOUT, ...) to avoid problems with NT's
- hacked support for sockets and HANDLEs. Thanks to Bernd Hofner
- <hofner@pd.et-inf.uni-siegen.de> for noticing this.
-
-Sun Mar 17 00:43:14 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp (handle_input): Fixed the CORBA_Handler to
- use send()/recv() rather than read()/write().
-
- * ace/Process_Manager: put the hooks in for the forthcoming ACE
- Process Manager, which will provide a service similar to the
- ACE_Thread_Manager, except that it will work for processes, not
- threads.
-
- * netsvcs: all the ACE network services appear to be working
- again...
-
- * man: Completely regenerated all the manual pages to reflect all
- the most recent changes.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Created a new macro called ACE_DEFAULT_REACTOR_SIZE.
- This is useful for two reasons (1) it centralizes this value in
- one place in ACE and (2) removes a horrible circular dependency
- between the Service_Config.h and Reactor.h...
-
- * ace/Strategies: Added new strategies to handle "scheduling" of
- Svc_Handlers launched by a Strategy_Acceptor. In this context,
- scheduling refers to "suspending" and "resuming" Svc_Handlers.
- There are several alternative strategies ranging from (1)
- suspending/resuming a single handler, (2) suspending/resuming
- all the handlers in a Reactor, and (3) suspending/resuming all
- handlers controlled by a Thread_Manager. This very powerful
- feature makes it simple to write ACE_Network_Services that can
- control all their handlers in one fell swoop...
-
- * ace/Task: Added new accessors/mutators to get/set the
- Thread_Manager and the Message_Queue associated with a Task.
- This makes life easier and more abstract in subclasses and
- elsewhere.
-
- * ace/Reactor: added an iterator to the ACE_Handler_Repository.
- This makes it possible to implement the suspend_handlers() and
- resume_handlers() very efficiently on both UNIX and Windows NT.
-
- * ace/Reactor: Added two new methods called suspend_handlers() and
- resume_handlers(). These methods suspend and resume all the
- active Event_Handlers in the Reactor in one fell swoop.
-
- * ace/Reactor.i (suspend_handler): Fixed a bug in the Reactor
- where we were not factoring out the code for suspend_handler()
- appropriately with respect to locking.
-
- * netsvcs/Logging/Server_Daemon/Thr_Logging_Handler: Enhanced the
- threaded logging service so that all active threads can be
- automatically suspended and resumed via the ACE_Service_Config
- svc.conf file.
-
- * netsvcs/Logging/Server_Daemon/Logging_Handler.cpp: Rewrote the
- ACE Logging service to use the new ACE_Strategy_Acceptor
- implementation. This greatly reduced duplicate code. There's
- almost nothing left in this directory save the actual service
- itself!
-
- * netsvcs/Tokens: Rewrote the ACE Token service to use the new
- ACE_Strategy_Acceptor implementation. This greatly reduced
- duplicate code. There's almost nothing left in this directory
- save the actual service itself!
-
- * netsvcs/Naming: Rewrote the ACE Naming service to use the new
- ACE_Strategy_Acceptor implementation. This greatly reduced
- duplicate code. There's almost nothing left in this directory
- save the actual service itself!
-
-Sat Mar 16 20:02:08 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * netsvcs: Created a new subdirectory off of $WRAPPER_ROOT and put
- all the ACE network services (e.g., Time, Logging, Naming, and
- Tokens) into that directory. These services all instantiate the
- new ACE_Strategy_Acceptor implementation, which greatly
- simplifies their behavior and code.
-
- * ace/Acceptor: Made some enhancements to the
- ACE_Strategy_Acceptor in order to make it more suitable for use
- as a generic "Service" launcher. This class now defines common
- behavior for all the ACE network services (e.g., Time, Logging,
- Naming, and Tokens).
-
- * apps/Token_Server: Made the main Token_Server application be
- dynamically linked if there's a valid svc.conf file.
-
- * apps/Name_Server/Name_Server: Made the Server_Test a
- "well-behaved" service. Previously, it block in a private event
- loop within Name_Server::run(), which was called by
- Server_Test::init() when the service was linked dynamically.
- This obviously doesn't work correctly since it means that we
- can't dynamically link any other services after this one! The
- new version is "event-loop" friendly since it uses the main
- Service_Config::run_event_loop() method.
-
- * ACE-categories: Added a new emacs "outline" file that
- illustrates how the filenames in $WRAPPER_ROOT/ace cluster into
- class categories. Thanks to Chris Eich
- <Chris_Eich@optilink.optilink.dsccc.com> and Alex V. Maclinovsky
- <alexm@teltrunk1.tait.co.nz> for helping create this.
-
- * ace: Split ACE into two libraries: libACE and libACE_svcs.
- libACE contains the "core" ACE components. libACE_svcs contains
- the client-side layered services (e.g., naming service, token
- service, etc.). There are two reasons for doing this:
-
- 1. It reduces the size of ACE for many common usecases (i.e.,
- most people aren't using the naming service or the token
- service). Any future layered services in ACE will be placed
- into the libACE_svcs library rather than libACE.
-
- 2. It works around annoying compiler bugs with lame compilers
- like HP/UX C++. Now, if those compiles can't compile the
- token service (which is very template intensive) it won't
- affect the core ACE library components. This improves the
- portability of ACE.
-
- * Added -lACE_svcs to the ./apps/{Token_Server,Name_Server} and
- ./examples/{Tokens,Naming} Makefiles to account for the new
- libraries. Note that no source code changes are required...
-
-Fri Mar 15 00:03:48 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * apps/Name_Server/server/Name_Handler.cpp (recv_request): Fixed
- the same problem as occurred in Token_Handler (these both come
- from the same source...).
-
- * apps/Token_Server/Token_Handler.cpp (recv_request): There was a
- subtle bug in the Token_Handler that stems from my old code.
- The line
-
- n = this->peer_.recv ((void *) (((char *) &this->token_request_)
- + sizeof (ACE_UINT32)),
- length);
-
- This should actually be:
-
- n = this->peer_.recv ((void *) (((char *) &this->token_request_)
- + sizeof (ACE_UINT32)),
- length - sizeof (ACE_UINT32));
-
- since length was read already. The old way tried to read 4
- bytes too much. Thanks to Jesper for noticing this.
-
- * ace/Connector.cpp (connect_svc_handler): Modified the connector
- so that it automatically calls the close () method of the
- Svc_Handler when the connection fails abortively. This makes
- the semantics the same for synchronous and asynchronous
- connection invocation modes. Thanks to Irfan for insisting on
- this!
-
- * apps/Token_Server/Token_Acceptor.cpp (handle_input): Changed
- return type from int to ACE_HANDLE for NT compatibility. Thanks
- to Jesper for this insight.
-
- * ace/OS.h: The defines for ACE_LACKS_MODE_MASKS (OS.h) were only defined
- when !ACE_WIN32. This has been fixed. Thanks to Irfan for
- spotting this too.
-
- * ace/OS.i (mmap): made a small change to ACE_OS::mmap to fix NT
- portability problem (new variable added:nt_flags). Thanks to
- Irfan for spotting this.
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens.h: Added #include "ace/Map_Manager.h" after
- line 41 in Local_Tokens.h to allow ACE to compile correctly with
- the horrid HP/UX compiler. Thanks to Neil Cohen for figuring
- this out (what a trooper!).
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens.cpp (ACE_TPQ_Entry *): Replace
-
- return ACE_TSS<ACE_TPQ_Entry>::operator ACE_TPQ_Entry *();
-
- with
-
- return (ACE_TPQ_Entry *) (*((ACE_TSS<ACE_TPQ_Entry> *) this));
-
- to work around problems with MSVC++ 4.0 when the browse option
- is enabled. Thanks to Kirk Sinnard <1764@mn.lawson.lawson.com>
- for this fix.
-
- * ace/config-sunx86-sunc++-4.x.h: Swapped the lines
-
- // Compiler/platform supports SVR4 signal typedef.
- //#define ACE_HAS_SVR4_SIGNAL_T
- #define ACE_HAS_CONSISTENT_SIGNAL_PROTOTYPES
-
- to
-
- // Compiler/platform supports SVR4 signal typedef.
- #define ACE_HAS_SVR4_SIGNAL_T
- //#define ACE_HAS_CONSISTENT_SIGNAL_PROTOTYPES
-
- to avoid an error using ProWorks C++ 4.0.1 (w/ patches) which
- blow up in the Signal.x stuff with a prototyping error. Thanks
- to John P. Hearn <hearn_j@sat.mot.com> for this recommendation.
-
- * ace/Shared_Memory.h: The conditional compilation wrapper was out
- of date, so I renamed it. Thanks to Alex V Maclinovsky
- <alexm@teltrunk1.tait.co.nz> for reporting this.
-
-Thu Mar 14 23:18:59 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Thread.h: There was a bug in the ACE_Thread class. I
- attempted to make the class uninstantiable by making the
- constructor private. However, the statement was:
-
- private:
- Thread (void);
-
- which is not the definition of the ctor! The code compiled
- since it thinks Thread is a member function. As a result, you
- could instantiate a object of ACE_Thread class, but no longer...
- Also added this to the !defined (ACE_HAS_THREADS) arm of the
- conditional compilation. Thank to Sandeep Joshi
- <sandeepj@emailbox.att.com> for noticing this.
-
- * ace/Log_Record.i (decode): Fixed a stupid typo where htonl
- (this->length_) should have been htohl (this->length_)...
- Thanks to Audun Tornquist <Audun.Tornquist@iu.hioslo.no> for
- noticing this.
-
-Tue Mar 12 14:51:39 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Name_Request_Reply.cpp (decode): Added ntohl and htonl calls
- wherever data was being exchanged.
-
-Sat Mar 9 17:49:51 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@lambada.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i (cond_wait): Updated the Win32 implementation to
- correspond precisely with the UNIX semantics where the mutex is
- always reacquired even when errors occur.
-
-Mon Mar 4 23:03:37 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@lambada.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * INSTALL: updated the win32 to describe building test
- applications.
-
-Mon Mar 4 16:17:05 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (resolve): Fixed a small bug. The type
- field in resolve was copying extraneous stuff (because of being
- kept around as a wchar_t). So I added a new method to the class
- ACE_NS_String called len() which simply returns len_. Using this
- I can now do a strncpy of len bytes for type (instead of a
- simple strcpy) and then null-terminate the string to remove the
- garbage.
-
-Thu Feb 29 23:41:04 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@lambada.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Token_Request_Reply.cpp: Fixed a byte-order bug which was
- showing up on intel platforms.
-
- * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp: Fixed a race condition in
- ACE_TSS_Connection which was munging mt token server clients.
-
- * examples/Tokens/mutex/*: The Token Server example applications
- now use ACE_Thread_Manager, which should make them portable to
- Win32.
-
- * apps/Token_Server/Token_Server.cpp: The Token Server is now a
- Service_Object which can be dynamically linked.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Win32 ACE_OS:: signal methods now return 0 instead of
- -1. So, calls to signal code succeed, but do nothing useful.
-
-Thu Feb 29 20:38:32 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * apps/Logger/Server_Daemon/Server_Logger.cpp
- (handle_logging_record): There was a typo where
- ACE_LACKS_STATIC_DATA_MEMBER_TEMPLATES was incorrectly spelled.
- This caused problems on HP/UX. Thanks to Neil Cohen for
- finding this.
-
-Wed Feb 28 11:41:49 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Fixed a nasty bug with Win32 memory mapping...
- It turns out we need to be very careful when remapping a
- previously mapped region if the MapViewOfFile we're trying to
- establish *grows* beyond what was originally mapped with
- CreateFileMapping(). The new scheme seems to work correctly
- with both UNIX and Win32.
-
- * ace/OS.h: apparently when using MFC library functions it
- is not possible to include windows.h. Instead, users
- must include AFX.h. Therefore, I've modified OS.h to
- include the following:
-
- #if !defined (__AFX_H__)
- #include <windows.h>
- #endif /* __AFX_H__ */
-
- Thanks to Patty Genualdi (genualdp@agcs.com) for pointing this
- out.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: Modified init_acquire() so that it calls
- ACE_Mem_Map::open() rather than ACE_Mem_Map::map() the first
- time. This ensures that the file is mapped correctly.
-
- * ace/Mem_Map: Added a new method called open() that creates/opens
- a file without actually mapping it.
-
- * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (make_multicast_address): Added
- new support for Windows NT.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool: reimplemented ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool so that uses
- ACE_Mem_Map. This ensures that we can leverage all the work
- that went into making ACE_Mem_Map work on Win32.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (map_file): Modified the code so that we
- always unmap the file before trying to remap it. This avoids
- problems with Win32...
-
- * ace/Mem_Map: Modified the implementation of ACE_Mem_Map so that
- it takes advantage of the improved features in ACE_OS::mmap.
- Also added new a method that returns the memory-mapped addr more
- easily.
-
- * ace/OS: Modified the ACE_OS::mmap() method so that it is more
- efficient for remapping files on Win32.
-
- * ace/OS.h: renamed the type QWORD to ACE_QWORD to avoid namespace
- pollution. Thanks to Patty Genualdi (genualdp@agcs.com) for
- pointing this out.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Changed the value of the SIGPIPE emulation for Win32
- to match the UNIX value in order to avoid problems. Thanks to
- Jesper for noticing this.
-
- * apps/Token_Server: Fixed misuse of int for ACE_HANDLE in various
- places. Thanks to Jesper for noticing this.
-
- * Renamed the ./tests directory to ./examples to make way for the
- new ACE regression tests. These tests will go into the new
- ./tests directory.
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Added a destructor and a close() method that
- closes down the file HANDLE if we allocated it. This is useful
- to prevent descriptor leaks. Thanks to Irfan for suggesting
- this.
-
- * ace: Made a number of changes to remove unreferenced parameters
- from ACE methods. This eliminates zillions of warning from the
- HP/UX compiler. Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (resolve): revised some code to work
- around bugs with the HP/UX compiler... Thanks to Neil Cohen for
- this workaround.
-
-Tue Feb 27 21:06:09 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i: The Win32 CreateFile does not handle the return you
- would expect when the file exists. You would expect EEXISTS (17
- in UNIX) but the GetLastError is set to 80
- (ERROR_FILE_EXISTS). Therefore, I changed ACE_OS::open to map
- ERROR_FILE_EXISTS onto EEXIST. This is only a partial solution,
- however. There must be a better way to handle this!
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (ACE_Mem_Map): Fixed a bug with one of the
- ACE_Mem_Map destructors that was causing problems due to the
- fact that base_addr_ wasn't being initialized to 0. Thanks to
- Karlheinz for noticing this.
-
- * ace/Signal.i: signals on AIX cannot use sigprocmask() in any
- multithreaded programs. Instead, the call
- ACE_OS::thr_sigsetmask() should be used since it is used to
- update the thread signal mask. This comes up only in the
- Sig_Guard constructor and destructor. Therefore, I #ifdef the
- call under the ACE_MT_SAFE macro, using sigprocmask() in the
- #else case. Thanks to Chris Lahey for reporting this.
-
- * tests: removed all uses of ACE_OS::join (0, ....) in ACE and
- replaced them with ACE_Thread_Manager::wait() calls. This
- ensures that the ACE code is portable to Win32 and POSIX
- pthreads!
-
- * ace/Dynamic_Service.cpp: Added a #include of
- "ace/Service_Config.h" to work around problems with HP/UX.
- Thanks to John Morey for reporting this.
-
-Sun Feb 25 12:10:38 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * apps/Token_Server: changed the name token_server.cpp to main.cpp
- to avoid a name clash on Win32...
-
- * man/man3: updated all the ACE manual pages to reflect the
- most recent changes.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Implemented the cond_timedwait() method correctly in
- ACE_OS. This method should now do the right thing with respect
- to blocking, polling, and timewaits for Win32.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Modified the Win32 implementation of all the
- socket-related wrappers in ACE_OS. The new implementation very
- cleverly sets errno to the result of WSAGetLastError() if a
- socket-related call fails. Since all of the WinSock errors are
- mapped into their equivalent UNIX errno values this enables
- socket applications to work portably for UNIX and Win32.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Malloc): Improved error reporting for
- cases where the Memory_Pool::init_acquire() fails (e.g., if the
- backing store was already created by another user and we don't
- have permission to access it...).
-
- * ace/Task: modified Task.h so that it is no longer necessary to
- write #include "ace/Synch_T.h" in order to use ACE_MT_SYNCH,
- etc.
-
- * ace/SOCK.cpp (DllMain): Added a clever "Schwartz counter" to
- make sure that the WinSock library is correctly initialized,
- even if we're not using ACE as a DLL!!!
-
- * tests/Mem_Map/file-reverse: got the file reverse test program
- working. The ACE_Mem_Map class should now be ported to Win32...
-
- * ace/OS.i (open): Changed how the O_CREAT flag was handled
- to give it UNIX semantics...
-
-Sat Feb 24 12:55:27 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/UPIPE_Stream.cpp (recv): Fixed a signed/unsigned mismatch.
- There should be no more mismatches in ACE...
-
- * ace/Name_Proxy.cpp (recv_reply): Fixed a signed/unsigned
- mismatch.
-
- * ace/Message_Block.cpp (copy): Fixed a signed/unsigned mismatch.
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.cpp (get_host_name): Changed the type of the
- hostnamelen parameter from int to size_t to be more "abstract."
- This will also prevent a warning from the MSVC++ compiler.
-
- * apps/Logger/Client_Daemon/Client_Logger.i: Fixed a braino with
- network byteoder that was causing Client_Logger::send() to fail
- on INTEL boxes. Thanks to Bryon G. Rigg
- <bgrigg@opus.bcbnet.com> for finding this.
-
-Fri Feb 23 01:59:34 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i: Enhanced mmap() to give the same semantics as UNIX
- mmap() by using MapViewOfFileEx(). Also greatly improved the
- UNIX emulation capabilities so that mmap() now has the same API
- for UNIX and Win32.
-
- * ace/Time_Value: Added functions to constructor and conversion
- from/to Win32 FILETIME. This enables us to reuse those 100ns
- conversions in ACE_Profile_Timer.
-
- * ace/Time_Value: Fixed a problem with these:
-
- // True if tv1 < tv2.
-
- INLINE int
- operator < (const ACE_Time_Value &tv1,
- const ACE_Time_Value &tv2)
- {
- ACE_TRACE ("operator <");
- return tv2 > tv1;
- }
-
- This should be "tv2 >= tv1". Same problem was fixed with
- operator <=.
-
- * ace/Profile_Timer.i, fixed the following:
-
- this->end_time_ = ACE_OS::gettimeofday ();
- this->last_time_ = this->end_time_;
- this->last_usage_ = this->end_usage_;
- ACE_OS::getrusage (RUSAGE_SELF, &this->end_usage_);
-
- This will overwrite end_time before it is saved to
- last_time...
-
- * tests/Threads: Added Jesper's test for readers/writers locks.
- The test adds a number of reader and writer threads. When
- active, writers modify a shared variable and verify that only
- one writer and no readers are active. When active, readers
- check that no writers are active and that the shared data is
- never changed. The test passes for different ratios of
- readers/writers, and debug output shows that several readers are
- allowed simultaneously. Or, in other words, we have an
- indication that it should work.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Added Win32 implementations of getpid(), fork(),
- lseek(), dup(), cond_timedwait (), getrusage ()
-
- * ace/OS.i: Modified all the ACE_OS::str* routines so that they no
- longer do an ACE_OSCALL_RETURN. This can lead to weird bugs...
- Thanks to Jesper for noticing this.
-
- * ace/config-sunos4-sun4.1.4.h: Added a new config file that
- should work with SunOS 4.x... Also added support for SunOS
- 4.1.4. Thanks to Mick Adams (eeimas@eei.ericsson.se) for help
- with this.
-
-Thu Feb 22 18:58:36 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * tests/Naming/Client/Name_Service.h (ACE_Service_Object):
- Modified test application to make use of ACE_Dynamic_Service.
-
- * ace/Dynamic_Service.h: Added a new class called Dynamic_Service
- which provides a general interface to add and retrieve arbitrary
- things into the ACE service repository.
-
- * apps/Name_Server/README: Rearranged files so that Name_Server
- and Name_Handler are now contained in the server directory under
- apps and are no longer under /ace. Also, the Dump_Restore
- directory has been moved under /tests/Naming.
-
-Thu Feb 22 01:56:46 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.cpp (set): Fixed a byteorder bug in ACE_INET_Addr
- that was causing problems when ACE was used on Win32 running on
- Intel platforms...
-
- * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): Fixed ACE_Mem_Map so that it will work
- correctly on Win32.
-
- * ace/SOCK_Stream.i: Changed the implementation of the Win32
- versions of send() and recv() so that they will never use the
- read() and write() calls. This works around limitations with
- Win32, which can't do a ReadFile() or WriteFile()
- *synchronously* with a SOCKET.
-
- * Changed all occurrences of read (0, ...) to read (ACE_STDIN,
- ...) and all occurrences of write (1, ...) to write
- (ACE_STDOUT, ...) in order to be compatible across UNIX and
- Win32.
-
- * tests/ASX/Event_Server: Fixed up all the socket I/O calls so
- that they use the WinSock send()/recv() methods rather than
- ReadFile and WriteFile...
-
- * ace/OS.i: Updated open() to correctly emulated UNIX open()
- semantics on Win32.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (thr_exit): Added support to the NT port so that
- thr_exit() doesn't endup doing multiple deletions of the same
- object. Thanks to Karlheinz for this fix.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Moved the location of ACE_MAXCLIENTIDLEN so that
- MAXHOSTNAMELEN would be correctly visible for NT.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp: Added a temporary fix for the fact that
- writev() and readv() don't work correctly yet on NT. The
- solution is to replace write() with two writes() and readv()
- with two reads() for the Reactor's notification scheme. A
- better solution should be forthcoming.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp: Made sure to initialize the timer_queue_ to 0
- in the constructors so that the Reactor's destructor can avoid
- crashing horribly if the constructor fails. Thanks to Karlheinz
- for pointing out the need for this.
-
- * ace/SOCK.cpp: Added support for WSAStartup for using WinSock
- within the ACE_SOCK class.
-
-Wed Feb 21 21:05:55 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (bind_port): Made a quick fix to work around the
- fact that NT doesn't set errno...
-
- * ace/OS.i (mmap): Fixed a bug in mmap for the NT port. It should
- return MAP_FAILED on error rather than 0 to be equivalent to the
- UNIX version. Thanks to Irfan for spotting this.
-
-Mon Feb 19 00:31:42 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Typed_SV_Message.i (ACE_Typed_SV_Message): Modified the
- constructor calls so that length_ and max_size_ are correctly
- set when created. Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/SV_Message_Queue.i (remove): fixed bug in
- ACE_SV_Message_Queue::remove method where `internal_id_' member
- was modified *BEFORE* it was used the last time in
- ACE_SV_Message_Queue::control. Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Typed_SV_Message.i (length): Fixed a minor typo that caused
- a bigger bug ;-). Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added new macros that allow programs to portably
- access stdin, stdout, and stderr HANDLEs on Win32 and UNIX as
- follows:
-
- #if defined (ACE_WIN32)
- #define ACE_STDIN GetStdHandle (STD_INPUT_HANDLE)
- #define ACE_STDOUT GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
- #define ACE_STDERR GetStdHandle (STD_ERROR_HANDLE)
- #else
- #define ACE_STDIN 0
- #define ACE_STDOUT 1
- #define ACE_STDERR 2
- #endif /* ACE_WIN32 */
-
- * ace/INET_Addr.i: modified the return value of get_port_number so
- that it returns the value in host byte order. This has actually
- been a latent bug in ACE for years, but it only surfaced
- recently after porting to NT on the Intel instruction set (which
- is "little-endian").
-
- * tests/ASX/Event_Server: Merged in the latest changes to the
- Event_Server tests, which enable it to compile on Windows NT.
- Now, I just need to get it working on NT...
-
- * Updated all of ACE to use the new ACE_ASSERT rather than assert.
-
- * ace/Assert.h: Added a new file and a new macro called
- ACE_ASSERT. This uses the ACE_Log_Msg Singleton to provide a
- more consistent means to do assertions. Thanks to Alexandre
- Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): added for method ACE_Log_Msg::log lines
- to skip the `sprintf' part for %N - file name and %l - line
- number format specifiers. Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * Remote_Name_Space: Removed an initalizer to ACE_WString that was
- driving the HP/UX compiler nuts.
-
-Sun Feb 18 18:11:22 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Null_Condition_Mutex): Added a missing body to
- the wait() method. Thanks to Byron Riggs for noticing this.
-
-Sat Feb 17 19:10:06 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * tests/Naming/README (client): Added description for new
- features, including support for list_values and list_types. Also
- added a small description about test programs using DLL.
-
- * ace/Name_Request_Reply.cpp (decode): Fixed a small bug in
- ACE_Name_Request::decode. type_ was not null terminated causing
- some garbage to be returned.
-
-Thu Feb 15 14:57:06 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Remote_Name_Space.cpp: Changed names of some parameters to
- comply with ACE syntax.
-
-Wed Feb 14 13:36:31 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (resolve): Type support has been added
- to Name_Server. A new class called ACE_NS_Internal was created to
- keep value and type information.
-
-Fri Feb 9 17:12:00 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * "Officially" released ACE 4.0
-
- * ace/OS.i (sema_post): Fixed a bug in the NT port.
-
- #elif defined (ACE_HAS_WTHREADS)
- return ::ReleaseSemaphore (*s, 1, 0);
- #endif /* ACE_HAS_STHREADS */
-
- This returns 1 for success, and disturbs cond_broadcast...
- This was replaced by:
-
- #elif defined (ACE_HAS_WTHREADS)
- return ::ReleaseSemaphore (*s, 1, 0) ? 0 : -1;
- #endif /* ACE_HAS_STHREADS */
-
- Thanks to Jesper S. M|ller (stophph@diku.dk) for this.
-
- * ace/OS.i (cond_init): Fixed a bug in the NT condition synch
- code, as the initial count of the semaphore was 1. This gives an
- inconsistent condition: The first waiter went straight through...
- Change in ACE_OS::cond_init:
-
- if (ACE_OS::sema_init (&cv->sema_, 0, type, name, arg) != 0)
- return -1;
-
- Thanks to Jesper S. M|ller (stophph@diku.dk) for this.
-
- * ace/Singleton.cpp: Fixed a stupid bug that was caused by failure
- to #include "ace/Synch_T.h"... Thanks to Neil Cohen and Byron
- Riggs for giving me insights on what the problem was. ACE now
- compiles on HP/UX.
-
-Fri Feb 9 11:07:04 1996 Prashant Jain (pjain@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * tests/Naming/server/Server_Test.cpp (init): Modified server
- tests to dynamically link Naming Services. Both client and
- server tests now make use of the ACE dynamic linking mechanisms.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Added list_values() to Name
- Server. The functionality is very similar to list_names (returns
- list of values that match a pattern).
-
- * tests/Naming/client/Client_Test.cpp (bind): Replaced all uses of
- cerr and cout with ACE_ERROR, ACE_ERROR_RETURN, and ACE_DEBUG.
- Split the file Client_Test.cpp into two files -- Client_Test.cpp
- and Name_Service.cpp (similarly .h file) each containing the
- corresponding class. Modified svc.conf to work with the changes.
-
-Thu Feb 8 02:05:26 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Enhanced the Log_Msg class so that it
- supports "nested" calls via %r. If SILENT mode enabled, nested
- outputs will enclosed in {..} brackets in thread-specific
- storage. Thanks to Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for
- suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch: Added a new class called ACE_Null_Condition_Mutex.
- This is necessary to fix bugs with stupid compilers... Thanks
- to Zusman Mark <marklz@rotem.technion.ac.il> for reporting this.
-
- * tests/Naming/client: made a first pass implementation of a
- client application that dynamically links in a Naming_Context
- based on information provided by the svc.conf file.
-
- * ace/Name_Options: Fixed yet more problems with dynamic memory
- management. The old version didn't make a copy of the strings
- it was passed and this caused major problems.
-
- * ace: Fixed a whole slew of problems with the ACE Name Server
- stuff that arose from inconsistent use of const char * vs. char
- *...
-
-Wed Feb 7 00:58:45 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp (ACE_MT_CORBA_Handler): Added new
- enhancements to ACE_MT_CORBA_Handler to make it work correctly
- with Windows NT. Thanks to Irfan for making these changes.
-
- * ace/Connector.cpp (fini): Make another workaround for bugs with
- MSVC++ 2.0...
-
- * ace/SPIPE_Connector.cpp (connect): Added a call to ACE_CLR_BITS
- (flags, O_CREAT) to make darn sure that the O_CREAT flag is not
- set. Thanks to Chris Cleeland for suggesting this.
-
-Tue Feb 6 01:40:29 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.h: added a new prototype to OS.h that should help with
- portability to nasty platforms with broken rand_r() definitions.
- Thanks to Aurelio Nocerino
- <aurelio@irsipcs2-27-le0.irsip.na.cnr.it> for suggesting this.
-
- * Local_Tokens: Changed all uses of enumerals MAXTOKENNAMELEN and
- MAXCLIENTIDLEN to symbol #defines ACE_MAXTOKENNAMELEN and
- ACE_MAXCLIENTIDLEN. This works around bugs with HP/UX.
- Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this problem.
-
- * ChangeLog: split the ChangeLog files into 4 separate files --
- one for '96, '95, '94', and '93. Hard to believe I've been
- working on this stuff for so long!
-
- * ace/OS: Fixed the use of ::memset to replace sizeof buffer with
- sizeof (ACE_SERVENT_DATA) and sizeof (ACE_HOSTENT_DATA). This
- fixes bugs that surfaced on AIX. Thanks to Chris Lahey for
- finding these.
-
- * ace/SPIPE_Addr.cpp (ACE_SPIPE_Addr): Fixed a bug in
- SPIPE_Addr::SPIPE_Addr(const SPIPE_Addr&). What happens is that
- when the size is calculated it does not take into account the
- required zero byte at the end of the rendezvous_ member. Thanks
- to Chris Cleeland <chris@envision.com> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/Local_Tokens: Had to move all ACE_Token_Proxy methods from
- Local_Tokens.i to Local_Tokens.cpp and remove INLINE - otherwise
- gcc reported them as undefined methods during linkage stage.
- Thanks to Zusman Mark <marklz@rotem.technion.ac.il> for
- reporting this.
-
- * ace: Changed ACE_Name_Request_Reply::LAST to
- ACE_Name_Request_Reply::MAX_ENUM to avoid problems with name
- conflicts on OSF/1. Thanks to Eshel Liran
- <liran@bimacs.cs.biu.ac.il> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch_T: Fix all definitions of ACE_Atomic_Ops so that they
- compile correctly on platforms that lack threads! Thanks to
- Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for noticing this.
-
- * include/makeinclude: Added a new config file from Bryon G. Rigg
- <bgrigg@opus.bcbnet.com>, which should allow ACE to build on
- Linux.
-
- * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp: Moved ACE_TSS_Connection to
- Remote_Tokens.h to avoid problems with AIX. Thanks to the
- ever-vigilant Chris Lahey for reporting this.
-
-Mon Feb 5 23:34:42 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@lambada.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Added CORBA_Ref.h which contains the new class ACE_CORBA_Ref.
- This class provides a nice wrapper for making the use of Orbix
- object references more transparent. This is done by automating
- the release and duplicate calls.
-
-Mon Feb 5 15:43:17 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: added Prashant's latest changes to the Name_Handler*,
- Naming_Context*, and Remote_Name_Space*. These changes make it
- possible to retrieve lists of values based on a pattern, which
- can be a regular expression.
-
- * Moved the apps/Name_Server/Client-Server tests into tests/Naming
- and most of the apps/Token_Server/* tests into tests/Tokens to
- conform to Karlheinz's testing style.
-
- * ace: Modified a number of files in ACE to make it compile
- correctly with MSVC++ 2.0.
-
-Sun Feb 4 23:58:43 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Reactor: Generalized ACE_Null_Callback to work correctly
- with Windows NT (which lacks pipes). The new design uses the
- ACE socket wrappers for NT. It requires very few changes to the
- code to handle NT now! Also changed the name to
- ACE_Notification_Handler, which is more descriptive.
-
-Sun Feb 4 14:47:50 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp: Reworked ACE_Singleton to avoid
- portability problems on compilers like GCC.
-
-Thu Feb 1 12:47:46 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp: Generalized the parameters passed into
- ACE_Singleton so they would compile on HP/UX and other platforms
- that lack threads. Thanks to Neil Cohen for noticing the
- problem.
-
-Wed Jan 31 22:49:13 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Modified a number of minor things in ACE to get it to
- compile successfully with Windows NT MSVC++ 4.0. Updated the
- INSTALL file to explain this process better...
-
-Tue Jan 30 01:12:07 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp: changed things so that no diagonistic
- messages are printed.
-
- * Regenerated all the ACE manual pages to bring them up to date
- with the recent changes.
-
- * ace/Malloc.h: Modified the ACE_Malloc header file so that it
- works correctly when ACE_MALLOC_STATS is enabled. Thanks to
- Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (mutex_lock_cleanup): removed the leading & before
- p_lock. Thanks to Chris Lahey for noticing this.
-
- * ace: Added the new ACE_Singleton class. This class uses the
- Adapter pattern to turn ordinary classes into Singletons
- optimized with the Double-Check pattern.
-
- * Added Tim's latest Token Server changes (which include support
- for local and remote mutexes and readers/writer locks) and
- Prashant's latest Name Server changes (which allows the contents
- of a Name Server to be dumped and restored to/from an ASCII
- file).
-
-Mon Jan 29 02:22:23 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Handle_Set: Changed MAX_SIZE and WORD_SIZE to MAXSIZE and
- WORDSIZE to avoid name collisions with HP/UX. Thanks to Byron
- Rigg <bryon_rigg@mail.telecorpsys.com> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Time_Value.h: Added a new config symbol ACE_HAS_SVR4_TIME to
- differentiate between UNIX platforms that support "POSIX_TIME"
- (i.e., timespec_t) and those that support "SVR4_TIME" (i.e.,
- timestruc_t). This is necessary to work around HP/UX... Thanks
- to Byron Rigg <bryon_rigg@mail.telecorpsys.com> for suggesting
- this.
-
- * ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: config-hpux.h has now been renamed to
- config-hpux-10.x.h and config-hpux-9.x.h. Thanks to Byron Rigg
- <bryon_rigg@mail.telecorpsys.com> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch_T: Added a new method called ts_get() and made both
- the operator-> and operator TYPE * call this. I hope this will
- fix a bug with HP/UX reported by Neil Cohen...
-
- * ace/OS.i (dlclose): Added Win32 support for dlclose(). Thanks
- to Todd L. Montgomery <tmont@cerc.wvu.edu> for pointing the way
- here...
-
- * ace: Split off the old class ACE_Dynamically_Allocated, renamed
- it ACE_Dynamic, put it in a separate file called Dynamic.*.
- This is necessary to solve nasty multiple definition problems
- with compilers that require the source of template.
-
- * ace/Synch_T: moved
-
- template <class TYPE> TYPE *
- ACE_TSS<TYPE>::make_TSS_TYPE (void) const
- {
- return new TYPE;
- }
-
- out from condition compilation block
-
- #if (defined (ACE_HAS_THREADS) && defined(ACE_HAS_THREAD_SPECIFIC_STORAGE))
-
- in file Synch_T.cpp. This class member called in many other
- places regardless ACE_HAS_THREADS and
- ACE_HAS_THREAD_SPECIFIC_STORAGE defined or not...
-
- * ace/Name_Handler.cpp: Changed the use of the "inherited" typedef
- to fully expand to ACE_Svc_Handler<ACE_SOCK_STREAM,
- ACE_NULL_SYNCH>. This is necessary to workaround bugs with AIX.
- Thanks to Chris Lahey for reporting this.
-
- * tests and apps: Fixed an odd problem that only surfaced recently
- with GNU G++. Apparently, it doesn't like function-style casts
- of the form ACE_SignalHandler (foo), but will accept
- (ACE_SignalHandler) foo. Since both approaches are equally good
- for what I'm doing, I've updated all the code in ACE to be more
- portable.
-
-Sun Jan 28 12:24:58 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * tests/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp (spawn): when forming
- argv[] for execv, moved
-
- argv[ ... ] = Options::instance ()->debug () ? "-d" : "";
-
- to the end of the vector just before terminator. This will
- allow to pass rest of arguments to exec if -d switch not
- specified. Thanks to Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch>
- for reporting this.
-
- * tests/Shared_Malloc/Malloc.cpp: To avoid conflict with
- ACE_DEFAULT_SEM_KEY in OS.h changed SEMA_KEY value in
- tests/Shared_Malloc/Malloc.cpp to ACE_DEFAULT_SEM_KEY + 1.
- Thanks to Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting
- this.
-
- * ace/SV_Semaphore_Complex.i: Changed all arguments in calls like
-
- this->acquire( n+2 )
- and
- this->tryacquire( n+2 )
- to
- this->acquire( n )
- and
- this->tryacquire( n )
- .
- Since the semaphore number is incremented by 2 in
- SV_Semaphore_Complex::acquire
- and
- SV_Semaphore_Complex::tryacquire
-
- when SV_Semaphore_Simple::(acquire/tryacquire) is called.
- Thanks to Alexandre Karev <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for pointing
- this out.
-
-Sat Jan 27 16:14:27 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Read_Buffer: Added a new component that efficiently reads in
- an artibrarily large buffer from a file up to an including a
- termination character. Also performs search/replace on single
- occurrences a character in the buffer using the priniciples of
- Integrated Layer Processing.
-
-Fri Jan 26 12:01:06 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: Made a small change to workaround the use of
- a struct type for thread_t and hthread_t in HP/UX. Thanks to
- Bryon Rigg <bryon_rigg@mail.telecorpsys.com> for noticing this.
-
-Thu Jan 25 19:54:01 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Svc_Handler: Added some minor changes to account for
- limitations with GNU G++. I think the new implementation will
- be portable across all C++ platforms.
-
- * ace/SV_Semaphore_*: Widened the interface of SV_Semaphore*
- classes to include a flags parameter. This can be used to pass
- in SEM_UNDO, which is important in many applications. Thanks to
- Andrew Gilbert <agilbert@csci.csc.com> for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp: We are forced to "cast away const" inside of of
- the ACE_TSS const methods in order to make the ACE_Guard work.
- The right thing to do would be to make the lock "mutable" but
- that's hopelessly non-portable.
-
-Thu Jan 25 14:34:12 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Log_Msg: Fixed a minor bug in ACE_Log_Msg that kept
- resetting the restart and iostream value no matter what we'd set
- it to before. Thanks to Prashant for finding this.
-
- * bin: Fixed up the Makefile process for the clone program. Now
- it builds without having to depend on ACE. Thanks to Brad Brown
- (bbrown@rdxsunhost.aud.alcatel.com) for suggesting this.
-
- * ace/Synch: Modified ACE_Condition*.remove so that cond_destroy()
- is called in a loop if the condition variable is BUSY. This
- avoids a condition where a condition is signaled and because of
- some timing problem, the thread that is to be signaled has
- called the cond_wait routine after the signal call. Since the
- condition signal is not queued in any way, deadlock occurs
- unless this loop is used. Thanks to Chris Lahey for pointing
- this out.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler: Made all the methods in ACE_CORBA_Handler
- private to make sure that users don't inherit from this class!
- Instead, the ACE_MT_CORBA_HAndler and ACE_ST_CORBA_Handler
- should be used as Singletons.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler: Added new support for Orbix on Windows
- NT. This requires clever use of macros in order to handle
- inherent differences between generated code.
-
- * ace/Svc_Handler: Added a clever idiom that transparently checks
- if we were allocated dynamically. This information is used by
- the <destroy> method to decide if we need to delete <this>...
- The idiom is based on a paper by Michael van Rooyen
- (mrooyen@cellnet.co.uk) that appeared in the April '96 issue of
- the C++ Report. We've spruced it up to work correctly in
- multi-threaded programs by using our ACE_TSS class.
-
- * ace/config-win32-msvc4.0.h (ACE_LACKS_RECVMSG): Fixed a typo
- in the MSVC++ config files.
-
-Thu Jan 25 02:59:22 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Finally got the frigging library built on SGI. This was a chore
- due to compiler bugs, but at least it's another datapoint for
- successful cross-platform building...
-
-Wed Jan 24 00:10:29 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Time_Value.cpp (operator-=): Changed operator += and
- operator -= to use const ACE_Time_Value & rather than
- ACE_Time_Value &. Thanks to Alex V Maclinvosky for noticing
- this. In addition, also changed *all* ACE_Time_Value parameters
- to be const ACE_Time_Value &. This should reduce the number of
- excess constructors called...
-
- * ace/OS: Added Chris Lahey's latest changes that introduce POSIX
- pthread cancellation cleanup handlers. Also added an herror()
- function that is comparable to perror().
-
- * ace/OS: (thr_join): Added a new version of thr_join() which
- works for Windows NT. Windows NT requires a HANDLE, which is
- fundamentally incompatible with other things...
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: added two new methods that return the
- ACE_Thread_Descriptor corresponding to either a thr_id or a
- thr_handle.
-
- * ace/Thread_Manager: Made the spawn() interface compatible with
- the other spawn() interfaces in ACE_OS and ACE_Thread by adding
- the hthread_t type.
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Fixed things up so that we can now print
- out the thread id for all versions of threads!
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new overloaded version of ACE_OS::thr_self()
- that returns the "kernel" thread id. This is necessary on
- systems like NT and AIX, which separate kernel thread ids from
- user thread ids. Thanks to Chris Lahey for suggesting this.
-
-Tue Jan 23 01:17:23 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i (sigwait): Changed the parameter of sigwait() from
- const sigset * to sigset *. Thanks to Neil Cohen for chasing
- this down on SunOS 5.5....
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp: Fixed a typo in bind() whereby
- the test if (duplicates == 0 || this->shared_find (name) != 0)
- should be if (duplicates == 0 && this->shared_find (name) != 0).
- Thanks to the ever vigilant Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * tests: Fixed all test programs that previously used the "execl"
- family of system calls to use the "execv" family instead.
-
- * ace/OS: Added support for the "execv" family of exec() system
- calls. Unlike the "execl" family, these calls are easy to
- support since they don't require variadic arguments. I've added
- the hooks for the "execl" family, as well, but haven't actually
- implemented them yet.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool): Fixed a bug that
- was tickled when pool_name == 0. Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/OS.h: removed FD_SETSIZE from the ACE_WIN32 stuff since this
- is defined in winsock.h.
-
- * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Spawn_Args): Added "f" to the parameter list.
-
- * ace/CORBA_Handler: Added a new macro called CORBA_T that masks
- the incompatibilities between the version of Orbix on NT and on
- Solaris.
-
- * ace/OS.h: Added support for compilers (like NT) that don't
- support "mode masks" (these are used to give symbolic names for
- file creation modes passed to open() and creat().
-
- * ace/SString.cpp: Added Tim's new copy constructor code for
- SString.cpp. This doesn't appear to be strictly necessary , but
- it is more explicit and therefore it useful.
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp: Fixed a bug in Map_Manager that was failing
- to call the placement new operator for every element in the map
- that was dynamically created by the allocator().
-
- * ace/Synch_T: Added Tim's new ACE_TSS implementation. This
- version is more flexible than the old one.
-
-Mon Jan 22 00:03:24 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Time_Value.h: changed a few minor things to get this
- compiling again on NT. Thanks to Irfan for helping with this.
-
- * ace/Synch_Options: Changed all the "accessor" methods to be
- const member functions at the request of Irfan. I just know
- this is going to cause const cancer... ;-)
-
- * ace/Acceptor and Connector: Changed all parameters that take
- ACE_Synch_Options & to take const ACE_Synch_Options & at the
- request of Irfan.
-
- * ace/OS.i (uname): Added rudimentary support for the uname()
- function for Windows NT. If anyone has suggestions on how to
- fill in all these fields portably please let me know!
-
- * ace/Connector.h: Changed a stray -1 to ACE_INVALID_HANDLE.
- Thanks to Irfan for noticing this.
-
- * ace/Profile_Timer.h: Added the keyword "public" to handle one
- arm of the conditional compilation that is only exercised on
- NT... Thanks to Irfan for noticing this.
-
- * ace/OS.i (mutex_init): Removed the call to
- pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() it isn't in the final POSIX
- standard.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (unbind): Removed the ACE_MAX3 template function
- from OS.h and inlined its only use in the Reactor. This was
- causing problems with some C++ compilers. Thanks to Mark Zusman
- <marklz@topaz.technion.ac.il> for reporting this.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Fixed a number of omitted return results in
- gettimeofday() and ctime_r() that were masked by the
- ACE_OSCALL_RETURN macros. Thanks to Mark Zusman
- <marklz@topaz.technion.ac.il> for reporting these.
-
- * ace/config-linux.h: Added new symbolic constants to handle the
- fact that Linux seems to lack recvmsg(), sendmsg(), msync(), and
- madvise(). Thanks to Neil Cohen for noticing this.
-
- * include/makeinclude: Fixed all the *-orbix.GNU files to use
- $(ORBIX_ROOT)/lib rather than $(ORBIX_ROOT)/ace. Thanks to
- Pramod Kumar Singh <pramod@saturn.miel.mot.com> for reporting
- this.
-
- * ace/config*.h: Changed all typos of the form ACE_HAS_SVSV_IPC to
- ACE_HAS_SYSV_IPC. Thanks to Alexandre Karev
- <akg@na47sun05.cern.ch> for reporting this!
-
- * ace/OS: Changed the order of parameters passed to thr_create()
- to be consistent with all the spawn() and spawn_n() usages in
- ACE. Thanks to Chris Lahey for pointing this out.
-
-Sun Jan 21 15:06:15 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Added a new "priority" parameter to the spawn() and
- spawn_n() methods in ACE_Thread and ACE_Thread_Manager. This
- allows us to pass the priority on down to thr_create(). Thanks
- to Chris Lahey for pointing this out. Note that this change
- required reordering the parameters so that the stack and
- stack_size parameters now come last for these methods. Since
- those are not likely to change much this is a good place to put
- them (i.e., at the end).
-
- * ace/Thread.i (spawn_n): Added a new overloaded spawn_n() method
- that accepts an array of thread_t's to be filled in. This is
- useful if you want to know the thread IDs of any threads
- created.
-
- * Changed ACE_OS::signal() to ACE_Sig_Action across all of ACE to
- be portable to pthreads implementations. Thanks to Chris Lahey
- for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/OS: Added a new set of OS C++ wrappers for POSIX pthread
- cancellation routines. Thanks to Chris Lahey for these.
-
- * ace/Thread: Added a new set of ACE C++ wrappers for POSIX
- pthread cancellation routines. Thanks to Chris Lahey for
- these.
-
- * ace/Map_Manager: Revised the Map_Manager::bind method. This has
- now been split into bind() and rebind() methods. The bind()
- method is very simple -- if you try to bind() to something that
- already exists you fail. The rebind() method allows you to
- atomically update existing values in a map. It also gives you
- back the existing values so that you can delete them if
- necessary. The Local_Name_Space::bind() and rebind() methods
- have been updated to use this new interface.
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (find): Fixed a typo -- find() should have set
- its pointer parameter to node->pointer_, rather than
- node->name_! This bug was revealed during testing of the ACE
- Name Server.
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Fixed bugs with computation of the
- size of ACE_NS_Strings -- they needed to count the wchar_t's
- correctly, along with several other minor fixes. These were
- revealed during testing of the ACE Name Server.
-
- * ace/SString.cpp: Fixed several bugs that prevented the
- assignment operators from working correctly. These were
- revealed during testing of the ACE Name Server.
-
-Sat Jan 20 08:33:54 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp (shared_bind): The args to to the
- NS_String constructors were not in the correct order:
-
- wchar_t *value_rep = (wchar_t *) (ptr);
- wchar_t *name_rep = (wchar_t *) (ptr + name_len);
- ACE_NS_String ext_id (name.fast_rep (), name_rep, name_len);
- ACE_NS_String int_id (value.fast_rep (), value_rep, value_len);
-
- They should be:
-
- ACE_NS_String ext_id (name_rep, name.fast_rep (), name_len);
- ACE_NS_String int_id (value_rep, value.fast_rep (), value_len);
-
- Thanks to Irfan for noticing this.
-
- * ace/OS.h: defined the following in ACE_OS:
-
- #define MS_ASYNC 0
- #define MS_SYNC 0
- #define MS_INVALIDATE 0
-
- under NT so that calls to mmap will port transparently. Thanks
- to Irfan for suggesting this.
-
-Thu Jan 18 16:25:16 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Added a new symbol that indicates if the platform supports
- the new BSD sin_len field of inet_addr.
-
- * ace/OS: added new support for AIX gethostbyaddr_r(),
- gethostbyname_r(), and getservbyname_r(). This fixes some
- problems caused by improper choice of buffer size. Also changed
- the INET_Addr.cpp file to use these new changes. Thanks to
- Chris Lahey for recommending these changes.
-
-Wed Jan 17 01:10:48 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i (printf): the ACE_OS::printf() function did not work.
- Needed to call vprintf() internally, not printf. Thanks to
- Chris Lahey for pointing this out.
-
- * Released version 4.0.
-
- * include/makeinclude: added the -lgen library to all the
- platform_sunos5.*.GNU files.
-
- * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: removed the INLINE macros in Memory_Pool.cpp.
- Thanks to Alexandre Karev (karev@vxcern.cern.ch) for noticing
- this!
-
- * ace/Malloc_T.cpp: moved the comment "Ce n'est pas une catst"
- outside of the macro ACE_NEW_RETURN. The prepocessor truncates
- the macro expansion when it encounters the comment. Thanks to
- Greg Baker <GBaker@p01.az15m.iac.honeywell.com> for pointing
- this out.
-
- * ace/Reactor.cpp (close): added "return 0" at the end of the
- close member function. The function is prototyped to return an
- int and the compiler expects a return outside of the if clause.
- Thanks to Greg Baker <GBaker@p01.az15m.iac.honeywell.com> for
- pointing this out.
-
- * ace/Stack.cpp (free_all_nodes): Removed a spurious ACE_OS that
- was stuck on the front of ::delete. Thanks to Greg Baker
- <GBaker@p01.az15m.iac.honeywell.com> for pointing this out.
-
- * ace/OS.i: Added extern "C" to the prototype for syscall in OS.i.
- Without it, you get unresolved symbols at link time. Thanks to
- Greg Baker <GBaker@p01.az15m.iac.honeywell.com> for pointing
- this out.
-
- * ace/Message_Queue.cpp: Changed the return values for
- enqueue_head(), enqueue_tail(), dequeue_head(), and
- peek_dequeue_head() to return the number of messages that are
- still on the queue. This helps some algorithms perform better
- and avoid blocking unnecessarily. Thanks to Alex V Maclinvosky
- <alexm@teltrunk1.tait.co.nz> for suggesting this...
-
- * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ACE_Condition): Fixed a bug in
- ~ACE_Recursive_Lock and ~ACE_Recursive_Mutex that was causing
- the destructor to be called twice (once implicitly and once
- explicitly). Thanks to Chris Lahey for pointing this out.
-
-Mon Jan 15 12:44:29 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Created a new config symbol called ACE_HAS_ALLOCA_H. This
- is required to differentiate between AIX and other versions of
- UNIX. Thanks to Chris Lahey for pointing this out.
-
- * ace: moved config-hpux.h to config-hpux-9.x.h in anticipation of
- the changes required to handle HP/UX 10.0!
-
-Sun Jan 14 23:38:23 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.h (ACE_MAX3): Fixed the definition of ACE_MAX3 (it needed
- a return value of template type T). Thanks to Mark Zusman
- <marklz@topaz.technion.ac.il> for noticing this.
-
- * ace: Added a new section to all the template files called
- ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SPECIALIZATION to deal with the screwy GNU
- G++ semantics that are required if you *don't* have the template
- repository patches. Thanks to Mark Zusman
- <marklz@topaz.technion.ac.il> for this.
-
-Fri Jan 12 00:47:57 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Time_Value.h: #included <pthreads.h> to the Time_Value.h
- class so that it would be the first file included. This fixes a
- problem with AIX. Thanks to Chris Lahey for reporting this and
- suggesting the fix.
-
- * ace: Fixed a braino with the #ifdefs in SPIPE_Stream and
- SPIPE_Acceptor. These were checking for ACE_WIN32 rather than
- ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES. Naturally, that failed on versions of
- UNIX (e.g., Linux) that lack STREAM pipes! Thanks to Neil Cohen
- for taking time out of fighting blizzards to report this!
-
- * ace/Svc_Handler: Added a new method for handle_timeout, which
- shuts things down by default. Thanks to Irfan for suggesting
- this.
-
- * Fixed a minor problem caused when Tim added the Double-Check
- pattern to ACE_ODB...
-
-Thu Jan 11 01:48:02 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * Integrated AIX fixes from Chris Lahey <clahey@ix.netcom.com>.
- These should allow ACE to build correctly using the AIX compiler
- and it's screwy template mechanisms!
-
- * ace: Fixed some minor bugs that caused problems when compiling
- with G++.
-
-Wed Jan 10 00:17:05 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Trace.cpp: Fixed a typo that was causing problems when using
- ACE_TRACE (we were ending up with recursive tracing in the
- ACE_Trace class!). Thanks to Detlef for noticing this.
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp: Moved methods from ACE.i to ACE.cpp and removed the
- INLINE macro to deal with order of include problems with GNU
- G++.
-
-Tue Jan 9 19:00:41 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Task.i (flush): Added a check to make sure that msg_queue_
- != 0 before trying to close() the queue. This solves a problem
- if the queue has already been closed. Thanks to Alex V
- Maclinvosky <alexm@teltrunk1.tait.co.nz> for reporting this...
-
- * tests/ASX/Event_Server/Event_Server: Fixed minor bugs in
- Supplier_Router.cpp and Consumer_Router.cpp -- I was checking
- for this->getq (mb) > 0 rather than this->getq (mb) >= 0.
- Thanks to Alex V Maclinvosky <alexm@teltrunk1.tait.co.nz> for
- noticing this...
-
- * ace/Synch_T.h: Commented out the ACE_ALLOC_HOOK stuff. This is
- causing order-of-include problems on HP/UX. Also moved the
- ACE_Null_Condition::wait() method to Synch_T.i to avoid the same
- problem. Thanks to Greg Baker
- <GBaker@p01.az15m.iac.honeywell.com> for pointing this out.
-
-Sun Jan 7 18:57:49 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Makefile: Added the Dump file to ACE. Thanks to Tim for
- fixing this up to make it ready for prime time.
-
- * Thanks to Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@ecf.toronto.edu> for sending
- me a new version of psnup that *finally* fixes the nasty
- problems with "4-up" printing of postscript! This makes it much
- easier to distribute ACE documentation...
-
-Sun Jan 7 18:31:07 1996 Tim H. Harrison (harrison@merengue.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Used the "Double-Check" pattern to eliminate potential race
- conditions when using Singletons in multi-threaded programs.
- Classes affected included ACE_[MS]T_CORBA_Handler, Name_Options,
- Trace, and ACE_ODB.
-
-Fri Jan 5 00:03:29 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i: Added the following to OS.i:
-
- #if defined (ACE_LACKS_SYSCALL)
- int syscall (int, ACE_HANDLE, struct rusage *);
- #endif /* ACE_LACKS_SYSCALL */
-
- This should fix some problems with HP/UX. Thanks to Walt Akers
- (akers@cebaf.gov) for pointing out the problem.
-
- * ace/Handle_Set: Fixed the Handle_Set conversion operator so that
- it returns fd_set * rather than ACE_FD_SET_TYPE *. Thanks to
- Walt Akers (akers@cebaf.gov) for pointing out the problem.
-
- * ace/Time_Value.h: I think I've fixed the problem with the order
- of #includes with respect to POSIX and SVR4 time. The trick was
- to put this test in ace/Time_Value.h and then to make sure that
- the ace/config.h file was included at this point! Also changed
- the symbol from ACE_HAS_POSIX_TIMERS to ACE_HAS_POSIX_TIME to be
- more accurate.
-
-Thu Jan 4 23:16:59 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/OS.i (gettimeofday): Changed the implementation of
- gettimeofday() to use the ::_ftime call rather than the more
- complex ::GetSystemTime(), ::SystemTimeToFileTime() duo.
-
-Thu Jan 4 9:32:38 1996 Chris Lahey (clahey@ix.netcom.com)
-
- * ace/config-aix.h: added #define ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SOURCE
- to make ACE work with AIX C++ compiler.
-
- * include/makeinclude/platform_aix.GNU:
-
- Added -qtempinc to the CPPFLAGS
- Removed the PIC= definition completely
-
- * ace/Task.h: ACE_Task::svc() should not be declared as a pure
- virtual, removed = 0.
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp: in trybind() member function, the line
- int_id = ss.int_id_;
- should be:
- int_id = search_structure[index].int_id_;
-
-Thu Jan 4 01:23:38 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/Map_Manager.cpp: Fixed a braino in Map_Manager -- didn't
- need the <index> parameter to shared_bind(). Thanks to Tim for
- finding this!
-
- * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (instance): Tim Harrison did a noble service to
- humanity by fixing a potential race condition in the instance()
- Singleton of ACE_Log_Msg.
-
-Wed Jan 3 00:49:57 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace: Made some minor changes to fix portability problems with
- SGI. Fortunately, this should also fix some other problems with
- HP/UX another other non-thread platforms.
-
- * ace/ACE.cpp (format_hexdump): Added Todd Montgomery's amazing
- "format_hexdump" method to class ACE.
-
-Tue Jan 2 20:47:57 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/SV_Semaphore*: updated the interface of the _Simple and
- _Complex System V semaphore wrappers to include the _read() and
- _write() forms of acquire() and tryacquire(). Note that I've
- implemented these as calls to acquire() and tryacquire(), so
- they don't add any extra behavior. This is needed for interface
- conformance with other forms of ACE synchronization mechanisms.
-
- * ace/Time_Value.h: Changed the header to #include <sys/time.h>
- in order to work around nasty "order of include" problems.
-
- * tests: Created a new directory called Win32. This contains test
- programs that This directory contains test programs that have
- been compiled and tested successfully under Windows NT. As we
- get further along, we'll move this stuff into the general ACE
- $WRAPPER_ROOT/tests directory (since of course all ACE programs
- will run without any problems under Win32, right? ;-)). See
- the ./tests/Win32/README file for instructions on how to build
- these tests.
-
- * ace/Reactor.h: Moved the ACE_Handler_Repository out of the
- ACE_MT_SAFE section of the code. This was a "typo." Thanks to
- Walt Akers <akers@cebaf.gov> for reporting this.
-
-Mon Jan 1 01:18:12 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu)
-
- * ace/ACE.i: Moved the recv_n() and send_n() methods from ACE.cpp
- into ACE.i and set things so that if __INLINE__ is set then
- we'll inline those too!
-
- * ace: Irfan and I got the first major part of the Win32 to work
- finally! We made two socket programs (client and server) that
- talked to each other and to UNIX. Things are really starting to
- take shape!
