Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * examples/ASX/Event_Server: Completely rewrote and retested the + ACE Event Server example. The new code is *much* easier to + understand, has many more comments, is more robust, and compiles + much faster since I removed many of the templates. + + * examples/ASX/Event_Server/Tranceiver/tranceiver.cpp: Fixed the + tranceiver so that it shuts down correctly when the Event_Server + exits. + + * examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-connector.cpp: Fixed a + problem where we were trying to select() on ACE_STDIN on Win32. + Naturally, this doesn't work, so we used the + ACE::register_stdin_handler() to fix this. Thanks to + Samuel_Bercovici <Samuel_Bercovici_at_EFT__AD2@mail.icomverse.com> + for reporting this. + + * examples/ASX/Event_Server/Event_Server/Options: Changed the + Options class to be a Singleton... + + * ace/Task.h: Added "const" method qualifier to accessor methods + like is_reader() and is_writer(). + +Wed Jan 1 00:10:47 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * ace/Message_Block: Added a new static release() method that + behaves like the non-static method release(), except that it + checks if <mb> is 0. This is similar to CORBA::release(), which + is useful if you want to eliminate lots of checks for NULL + pointers before calling release() on them. + + * Updated all places in ACE where we use + ACE_Event_Handler::READ_MASK when we should be using + ACE_Event_Handler::ACCEPT_MASK. + + * examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_Thr_Stream.cpp: + Changed the name of the acceptor class from Handle_Thr_Stream to + Handle_Thr_Acceptor, which is more accurate. + + * ace/Reactor: Since we've now got an + ACE_Event_Handler::ACCEPT_MASK (intended primarily to accept + connections asynchronously using Win32 overlapped I/O) we can + now use this with the ACE_Reactor, as well. In particular, any + time that we are registering a "passive-mode" socket acceptor we + can now specify ACE_Event_Handler::ACCEPT_MASK. This is much + more intuitive than using the READ_MASK (which never made any + sense...). The ACE_Reactor now treats the ACCEPT_MASK as a + READ_MASK internally, so you can still use READ_MASK if you'd + like (i.e., this change doesn't break any existing code). + + * ace/Event_Handler: Changed "get_priority" and "set_priority" to + simply "priority(void)" and "priority(int)" to be more + consistent with other parts of ACE. + + * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Updated the Gateway so that the + concurrency strategies can now be specified on the + command-line (or in the svc.conf file), rather than being + determined at compile-time. This is much more flexible. + See the ./apps/Gateway/Gateway/README file for details. + + * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Verified that all the multi-threading + strategies still work. + + * ace/Message_Block.cpp (ACE_Message_Block): Make sure that we + "release" the continuation field, rather than delete it, since + its reference count may be > 1. + + * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Change the abort_prog logic a bit so that + we always print a message to stderr if we're exiting, + regardless... Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out. + + * 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! Let's start a new ChangeLog to celebrate the + new year. + |
