It is based on ACE, the Adaptive -Communications Environment, developed by Doug Schmidt and the -Distributed Object Computing Group at Washington University and the -University of California, Irvine. Please see the ACE copyright -notice, available at -http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/COPYING. - -PACE is intended for lightweight and/or verified systems. It offers -these benefits: - -* A strict POSIX.1-like, low-level interface. Its interface is "POSIX - compatible"; by that we mean as close to POSIX.1 as it can be, given - that PACE is not an operating system. And, to avoid name conflicts - with OS APIs, all low-level PACE function names have the pace_ - prefix. - -* The low-level interface is partitioned into multiple files, one - per POSIX.1 section. - -* The low-level interface is written in C, so that it can be used in - both C and C++ programs. - -* PACE (on most platforms) does not require the use of multiple - inheritance, static objects, exception handling, or other C++ - language constructs that impair code size and/or run-time performance. - - -PACE also insulates applications from the personalities of operating -systems. For example: - -* SunOS 5.7's intro (3) man page states that _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS - and _REENTRANT flags are automatically turned on by defining - _POSIX_C_SOURCE flag with a value greater than or equal to 199506L. - However, that doesn't appear to happen, so PACE does it. - -* On LynxOS 3.1.0 and Compaq Tru64, several POSIX functions prototypes - are missing const qualifiers. PACE provides the proper function - prototypes (and its implementation casts as necessary for - compatibility). - -* LynxOS 3.1.0 has a non-POSIX signal () interface; the handler function - prototype is not void (*) (int). PACE adapts its interface to the - POSIX standard interface. - |
