All rights reserved. - - -NOTE: PACE has not been released yet. It is currently a research -prototype. All information contained in the PACE distribution is -subject to change without notice. (That includes the copyright -notice above :-) - - -This is POSIX ACE (PACE). 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 a C file, so that it can be used in both - C and C++ programs. - -* The low-level interface is partitioned into multiple files, one - per POSIX.1 section. - -* PACE relies on the STL, instead of using proprietary container - classes. STL is part of the language standard, so it is most - portable to rely on it. (It is assumed that STL is provided - with the C++ compiler. If not, we suggest trying the STL that - is distributed with the GNU g++ compiler.) - -* PACE 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. |
