For + example, since ACE+TAO is built using 8-byte alignment, your + application must also use this alignment otherwise bad things + can happen. + + Other libraries on Win32 free the developer from this burden by + explicitly setting these options in the source code. For + example, the Windows SDK header files contain things like + + #include <pshpack4.h> + ... + #include <poppack.h> + + where these header files contain the appropriate #pragmas for + setting alignment options. (BTW, structure alignment is not the + only option that may be set, I'm just using it as an + example. Warnings could be disabled, and - my ulterior motive - + I have a few problematic BCB compiler options that I would like + to control.) + + This sort of thing helps a library to play nicely with any other + libraries or source code someone may be using. It somewhat + simplifies the instructions for setting up project that uses + ACE+TAO, and it lets developers change their compiler options + with abandon without breaking ACE+TAO. + + Thanks to Christopher Kohlhoff <chris@kohlhoff.com> for + providing the patches. + Fri Mar 17 23:28:20 2000 Douglas C.
