Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Moved all of the configuration file + parsing logic *outside* of the Event_Channel into the Gateway + class so that we wouldn't have unnecessary dependencies. + + * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Redesigned the Gateway so that the + Proxy_Handlers (i.e., the Consumer_Proxy and Supplier_Proxy) + most of their work to the Event_Channel. This "lightweight + proxy" design is an improvement since it is now possible to + emulate the COS Event Channel semantics within the Event_Channel + "kernel." + + * Happy new year! + +Tue Dec 31 18:27:50 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Added a test so that if we're + (1) not printing to stderr and (2) aborting the program we still + print a message to stderr. + + * ace/Message_Block: Added synchronization support to + ACE_Message_Block. This is necessary now that we've got + reference counting to ensure that we don't have race conditions + when incrementing and decrementing the reference count in + separate threads. The approach is very clean and uses the new + ACE_Lock mechanism to conditionally acquire()/release() the + locking strategy if concurrency control is necessary. + + * ace/Synch_T: Created a new set of ACE_Lock and + ACE_Lock_Adapter<> classes which are similar in spirit to the + ACE_Allocator and ACE_Allocator_Adapter<> classes. These make + it possible to treat polymorphically synchronization mechanisms + in ACE polymorphically, *without* creating an entire new + parallel hierarchy of locking mechanisms. + + * ace/Synch: Added the full suite of acquire_{read|write}() and + tryacquire_{read|write}() methods to ACE_Semaphore and + ACE_Process_Semaphore so they will be consist with the other + synchronization APIs. + +Tue Dec 31 00:11:56 1996 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu> + + * Changed all uses of ACE_Event_Handler::RWE_MASK to + ACE_Event_Handler::ALL_EVENTS_MASK to reflect the fact that + we will soon have more than READ, WRITE, and EXCEPT events. + However, I've kept RWE_MASK around for backwards + compatibility. + + * examples/ASX/Message_Queue: Changed the tests so that they use + the new ACE_Message_Block::release() method rather than calling + delete explicitly. + + * apps/Gateway: Revised the implementation of the Gateway and Peer + applications to take advantage of the new ACE_Message_Block + reference counting scheme. + Tue Dec 31 15:06:51 1996 David L.
