This was because the + case for handling the managed types somehow got mixed with the + normal ccase. Thanks to Nanbor Wang (nw1@cs.wustl.edu) for + pointing this out. + +Wed Dec 31 18:29:57 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the way + we use managed types. Instead of allocating an array, we now + instantiate the + managed type on the fly i.e., when the operator [] is invoked. The + reasons for doing this are: (1) no need for dynamic memory + allocation for maintaining the array of managers (2) It was + causing all kinds of problems while decoding because the sizeof + such sequence classes was bigger than those without managed + types. However, due to this scheme, we can no longer define the [] + operator to return a reference because that would mean that a + reference to a local variable/temporary will be returned. Hence + changes were necessary in files. + + TypeCode generation was also erroneous. This is fixed. We were + generating wrong encapsulation length. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: Indentation in typecode generation. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: nested_type_name - improved to + eliminate one more strange error message getting generated by the + MSVC++ compiler. Still needs testing. + + * TAO/tao/{invoke, decode}.cpp: Reversed the changes which were + made to account for sequencese with managed types. We no longer + need these changes because sequences with managed types no longer + keep an extra data member. Thus the size of all sequences (top + level) is the same (so is the layout). + + * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: commneted out unused variables, parameters. + + * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Included tests for string sequences, + variable sized structs as well as nested structs. + +Tue Dec 30 13:46:44 1997 Nanbor Wang <nw1@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h (portnum_): Changed its data + type from CORBA::ULong to CORBA::UShort to kill warning + messages. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp (create_list): Changed data type of the loop + counter to CORBA::Long. This caused a warning message on VC. + + * doc/releasenotes/index.html: Added documentation for adding IDL + files into Visual C++'s projects. + + * tests/Param_Test/Param_Test.dsw: + * tests/Param_Test/client.dsp: + * tests/Param_Test/server.dsp: New workspace and projects were added. + +Tue Dec 30 10:15:11 1997 Irfan Pyarali <irfan@cs.wustl.edu> + + * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Fast_Reactor.h (ACE_ES_Fast_Reactor): + Added the other version of handle_events to stop the compiler + from being cranky. + +Tue Dec 30 10:06:45 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation, + be_state_attribute}.cpp - Unnecessary call on "init_mgr" for + sequences that do not have any managed types was getting + generated. This is fixed. In addition, MSVC++ compiler was + producing an error saying "ambiguous assignment" when an "_out" + variable was assigned to a pointer type. Solaris platform (CC and + g++) did not give any such errors since they were (most probably) + using the operator *() on the _out class, but MSVC++ did not. + + * TAO/tests/Cubit/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: The same "ambiguous + assignment" error described above has been fixed here too. + + * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added a method called "reset_parameters" + so that we do not change the "in" parameter for every + iteration. Previuosly we were settingthe in parameter differently + for every new iteration. However, for performance comparison + purposes, this was not correct (e.g., in the case of string + sequences or unbounded strings where everytime we were sending a + different lenght string and hence the performance numbers were + different for each run and couldn't be compared.) + +Mon Dec 29 21:51:38 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: get_name was returning a local + variable. In addition, added generationof a method called + "init_mgr" that must be used to initialize the sequence's + underlying mgr_ vector. + + There was some problem with bounded/unbounded sequence code + generation (an error in an if stmt). + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_attribute, + be_state_operation}.cpp - added code to generate the call to + init_mgr for sequences after the do_call is made. + + * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h : gen_name returns char* rather + than const char* because we now allocate a new string and return + it. + + * TAO/tao/Makefile: applied make depend to incorporate nvlist.i + + * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Added a "boolean release" field to + CORBA_SEQUNECE so that its layout is similar to the generated code + for sequences. + + * TAO/tao/decode.cpp: In sequence decode, we also set the release + flag to 1. In addition, for sequences of strings and objrefs, we + zero out additional 4 bytes that are used to store a pointer to + the manager array. + + * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: some indentation. Also passed the correct + parameter to string/wstring::decode + + * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: In do_dynamic_call, for sequences of strings + (inclusing typedefed sequences of strings that themselves can be + typedefed), we must allocate size+4 bytes for demarshaling the + sequences. The extra 4 bytes are for the manager array pointer. + + * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: I the method item, the loop should have run + from o to max_ rather than upto len_. + + * TAO/tao/orbobj.cpp: Used placement new of NamedValue in the + create_list method. + + * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added new tests for Fixed_Struct and + string sequence. Added a README file. + + * TAO/doc/releasenotes/index.html: updated with latest success stories. + +Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997 Douglas C.

The Param_Test test suite is being + developed to track any memory leaks. + + * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Used sequence_var in + the cube_sequence function to avoid memory leaks. However, there + still are leaks. + +Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO version 0.0.48, released Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997. + +Wed Dec 24 18:44:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao: Added the nvlist.i file to the tao/ directory. + +Wed Dec 24 18:11:08 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_state_argument}.cpp: Added + "argument_count" method to be_operation which is helpful in + creating an NVList of the appropriate size. Previously we were + creating an empty list and adding parameters one by one. This was + causing a lot of reallocations which were wasteful. + + At this time, we have code base that can successfully send/receive + primitive data types as well as strings. + + * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_operation.h : Added a new method called + "argument_count" to give us the total number of parameters we + have. + + * TAO/tao/{any.cpp, connect.cpp, corbacom.i, decode.cpp, + iioporb.cpp, marshal.i, objtable.cpp, optable.cpp, request.cpp}: + In all these files, after a call to CORBA::string_free, we made + the pointer point to 0. Otherwise, purify was giving us "Free + Memory read" errors. Also, this was (by fluke) causing some + applications to run successfully. + + * TAO/tao/{nvlist.h, nvlist.cpp, nvlist.i, corba.h}: Added + unimplemented methods to NamedValue and NVList. Created a nvlist.i + file and updated corba.h + + * TAO/tao/corbacom.cpp: In an assignment operator for Sting_out, + we were not checking if the assignment was from ourselves. Also a + array was incorrectly being deleted as "delete ..." rather than + "delete [] ...". + + * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: Inside do_call, we were not deleting memory + for the "in" part of the inout parameters. Right now we have fixed + this problem only for strings. Others will be added as new tests + are built. Do_dynamic_call also needs such a fix. NOT DONE in this release. + + * TAO/tao/orb_core.h, orb_core.cpp: ORB_init takes "const char*" + orb name as the argument instead of just char*. + + * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Successful in testing + "test_unbounded_string". removed a few memory leaks where we were + not deleting the client objects. + +Tue Dec 23 19:34:40 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO version 0.0.47, released Tue Dec 23 19:34:40 1997. + +Tue Dec 23 13:36:50 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_sequence.cpp: ACE_NESTED_CLASS must be + generated for seq elements that are scoped. We were generating + this macor only when seq elements were typedefs. However, seq + elements can also be structs or any other types that have an + enclosing scope. Thanks to Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> for + the bug report. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Similar problem as above for + return types of operations. Bug reported by Chris Gill. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp: Whenever a _narrow fails, we were + trying to do a ACE_dynamic_cast to a 0. Instead, we now return a + 0. Again thanks to Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> for + the bug report. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: We were ot generating a char + *& for inout string parameters. Instead only a char * was getting + generated. Fixed. + +Tue Dec 23 11:45:03 1997 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu> + + * docs/releasenotes/index.html: + There is no need to set config=1 when compiling + TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs. + +Mon Dec 22 22:02:49 1997 Douglas C.

Fixed. + + * TAO/tests/Param_Test: A new test suite to test all the parameter + passing modes - return, in, inout, and out for a large number of + IDL data types. The purpose of this test suite is to verify the + correctness of the stubs/skeletons generated by TAO IDL compiler, + eliminate any existing errors in the marshaling engine, track down + any memory leaks, and finally to measure the performance and fine + tune the code if required. In the first version of the test, we + only test "shorts".

Not + complete. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_attribute}.cpp: The ParamData + structure *must* hold the "size" of the outermost level of the + return values and out parameters because the ORB has to allocate + memory for it and hence needs to know the size. We had a 0 in it + which crashed any return types that were variable in size. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a new state for + unions. Corresponding change to the *.h file. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Added a method called "scope" that + returns the corresponding scope defined by this node (if one + exists). Added method to the *.h file also. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Added a method called "decl" that + returns the be_decl method corresponding to this scope. The header + file was also updated. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception, be_state_exception}.cpp: I was making + the most stupid mistake of generating constructors per member + rather than one constructor that takes all the members as a + parameter. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the + naming scheme for anonymous sequences to avoid code bloat. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added template instantiation for + additional state to deal with code generation of members of + unions. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp: Made some changes so that + spurious code for array members doesn't get generated. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union, be_state_union}.cpp: Added a new state + because we were not generating code for union members that were + sequences or structs. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Modified netsed_type_name to use the new + methods on class be_decl/be_scope. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_union_branch.cpp: gen_client_stubs uses the same + strategy as the other gen_client methods. + + * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: In deep_free of structures, instead of + passing the address of a string member to be freed, we were simply + passing the string that led to a segmentation fault. A careful + code review is necessary. + + * TAO/tao/orb_core.cpp: Made "use_ior" as default as ooposed to + using the URL based scheme for IORs. This was necessary to have + interoperability with other ORBs. + + * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: The server request was being released + immediately after returning from the dispatch method. This should + be done after all return/inout/out parameters are marshaled. + +Tue Dec 17 12:53:01 1997 Brian Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com> + + * tao/encode.cpp: Additional changes for wchar's + +Tue Dec 17 10:37:45 1997 Brian Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com> + + * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed obsolete files from the VC++ project. + Changed name of folder from Include Files to Inline Files. + Inserted new header files for classview. + + * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added missing be_state_exception.cpp to the + the project to eliminate link error. + + * tao/corbacom.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar + problems with VxWOrks and GHS. + + * tao/encode.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar + problems with VxWOrks and GHS. + +Tue Dec 16 18:29:42 1997 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu> + + * orbsvcs/README: + * docs/orbsvcs.html: + Started up the documentation for TAO services, at this point + only the directory hierarchy is explained. + +Tue Dec 16 08:49:11 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h: Added three more states for + return types to be generated for operator [] of sequences of + strings and object references. + + * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h: Added enum constants to + indicate what kind of managed type is handled by the sequence. For + sequences other than that of strings and objrefs, this enum const + is MNG_NONE. Added a new method that returns the managed type. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence.cpp}: Added code to + generate sequences of strings and objrefs. This requires + generating special "managed" objects. In addition, for + be_state_sequence.cpp, we were not handling the case where base + types of sequences were not having any scope which resulted in + segmentation faults. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation}.cpp: Some + small bugs fixed. These included lack of a whitespace in the + generated code as well as spurious extra level of indirection + getting generated. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: "nested_type_name" now checks if the + scope with which are comparing is NUL or not before proceeding + further. Such a situation may arise for sequences whose base types + are anonymous (e.g., strings) and have no enclosing scope. + + * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,cpp,i}: Removed. No more needed as teh + code is generated by the IDL compiler. Accordingly modified + corb.h and did a "make depend" on the Makefile. + + * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to reflect new changes + as well as TO-DO stuff such as adding support for TIEs. + +Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO version 0.0.43, released Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997. + +Mon Dec 15 19:13:51 1997 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/Timeprobe.cpp: + Removed Solaris specific code, somehow it survived from some + debugging session.

Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (cube_sequence): declare + local variables "l" and "j" as u_int instead of int, to avoid + signed/unsigned comparison. + +Thu Dec 11 16:44:26 1997 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu> + + * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp: + Fixed typo missed on the previous release. + +Thu Dec 11 22:18:52 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Moved the code generation for the + _var and _out classes before the actual class declaration, but + after the forward declaration. This was necessary if any elements + in the scope of the interface are defined to be of the same type + as that interface. In such a situation those elements are defined + to be of the _var type.

However, once we are VARIABLE, no body can reset us to + fixed. Similarly, the overloaded size_type method that return the + size type first checks if our size is still unknown in which case + it calls for "compute_size_type". This is very essential for data + types defined in an imported (included) *.idl file. Thanks to Tom + Richards (tomr@mcmenterprise.com) for reporting the bug with + included file which resulted in this change. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_attribute.cpp: Included a case for + IN_PARAM_TYPE_CH for strings (had previously forgotten to do so). + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_structure, be_structure, be_field}.cpp: + Revamped so that we use the same switch based technique in + be_state_structure.cpp to generate code. For fields that are + sequences or structures or unions, we also generate their code. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Thanks to Tom Richards and + Carlos O'Ryan for noticing a bug when we use out sequences. There + used to be a seg fault in deep_free.cpp because a NUL pointer was + being owned by an Any and getting freed. In the server skeleton, + for out params we now generate code after the upcall is made so + that for out parameter value is inserted in the NVList that is + marshaled by the server. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: In the generated call to _is_a, we + were calling CORBA::Object::_is_a if a remote call is + necessary. However, MSVC++ cannot handle a call of the form + CORBA::Object::_is_a. So we have to generate code that uses + ACE_CORBA_3 so as to be portable.

This will create a default instance if it can't + locate one in the Service Repository, which will allow + applications to not encounter a hard failure when a svc.conf file + is missing. A warning message is emitted stating that a default + is being used. Applications should not rely on the default + settings, as it is very likely that the applicat might require + alternate settings for proper desired operation. + + * tao/default_server.*: Added TAO_Reactive_Strategy template + class to use in place of the ACE_Reactive_Strategy. It's only + difference from ACE_Reactive_Strategy is that instead of using the + reactor provided in the open method, it always uses that found + through the TAO_ORB_Core_instance(). This fix was motivated by a + general problem which was only observable on VxWorks with a + special pseudo-network transport. + + * tao/connect.cpp: Added code to fail gracefully if socket buffer + size changes are not supported. + +Mon Dec 8 13:11:46 1997 Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu> + + * docs/releasenotes/index.html: + Added more information on how the Event Channel and friends are + going. + + * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svc.conf: + Removed some foreign ^M from the file. + + * tao/Makefile: + * tao/connect.cpp: + * tao/giop.cpp: + * tao/orbobj.cpp: + * tao/Timeprobe.i: + * tao/Timeprobe.h: + * tao/Timeprobe.cpp: + Added a instrumentation class to measure time interval, also + instrumented some code, as part of the ongoing effort to + optimize the EC, unfortunately the problems are not in TAO ;-) + The code is only instrumented if compiled using probe=1, no + overhead is introduced in normal compiles. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl: + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h: + Addded code to test sequences (as input and output parameters) + they don't work (yet). + + * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile: + * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h: + * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i: + * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp: + The file was moved toTAO_ROOT/tao. + + * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp: + Fixed default dump file, it was using stdout! + +Sat Dec 06 15:42:25 1997 <nw1@DINGO> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{server,client}.dsp: Updated link time + library names. + + * tao/any.cpp: + * tao/any.h: + * tao/corba.h: + * tao/corbacom.h: + * tao/decode.cpp: + * tao/encode.cpp: + * tao/except.cpp: + * tao/except.h: + * tao/giop.cpp: + * tao/iiopobj.cpp: + * tao/iiopobj.h: + * tao/iioporb.cpp: + * tao/iioporb.h: + * tao/nvlist.cpp: + * tao/nvlist.h: + * tao/object.cpp: + * tao/object.h: + * tao/object.i: + * tao/orbobj.cpp: + * tao/orbobj.h: + * tao/orbobj.i: + * tao/poa.cpp: + * tao/poa.h: + * tao/principa.cpp: + * tao/principa.h: + * tao/request.cpp: + * tao/request.h: + * tao/stub.h: + * tao/svrrqst.cpp: + * tao/svrrqst.h: + * tao/typecode.cpp: + * tao/typecode.h: + * tao/compat/initguid.h: + * tao/compat/objbase.h: Removed dependencies on Microsoft's DCOM + files.

This is motivated by + the following situation: machine has 3 interfaces (not including + loopback), and it is desired that clients and servers communicate + across only one interface. + + When our IDL_Cubit example's factory created new Cubit instances, + the set() method would set the host name for that IIOP::Profile to + whatever ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name() returned.

Thanks to Wei Chiang for this change. + +Tue Dec 2 15:47:09 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.h: Added some helper methods to generate + additional code in the form of larger operation tables, and + skeletons. This situation arises when we have single/multiple + inheritance of interfaces. + + * TAO_IDL/be_include/be.h: Included ace/Containers.h for the + ACE_Unbounded_Queue that uses the breadth-first strategy used in + be_interface.cpp + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface,be_operation,be_attribute}.cpp: Added code + to generate a new "virtual void dispatch" method on the skeleton + classes. The dispatch method enables us to access the most derived + type when invoking the skeleton for a method. The skeletons + instead of taking a CORBA::Object_ptr, now take void*. The + skeletons themselves cast this void* to the appropriate POA_* + type. + + In addition to the above, for the case of inheritance of + interfaces, it is not appropriate to pass a pointer to the most + derived class as a void* to the skeleton of a base class and cast + that to the POA_* of the base class. So we generate inlined code + for skeletons of methods in the most derived class even if those + methods were defined in the base classes. These inlined skeletons + simply cast the object pointer to the right type and invoke the + corresponding skeleton of the base class method. + + be_interface.cpp defines a template method to traverse the entire + inheritance graph. This traversal is done using a breadth-first + traversal. This traverse method takes a pointer to one of the + static helper methods defined on class be_interface. Each helper + achieves a different purpose such as generation of extended + operation tables, providing comparisons of repositoryIDs of base + classes in the _is_a methods of derived classes. + + The client-side class now defines a virtual CORBA::Boolean _is_a + method. This uses local knowledge of repository ids thereby + preventing the expensive remote call in most cases. All changes + made in be_interface.cpp + + * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Changed the signature of TAO_Skeleton so that + it uses void*obj and a void *context. + + * TAO/tao/object.h: Added a virtual dispatch method as explained + above. + + * TAO/tao/orb.h: Redefinition of TAO_Skeleton removed. + + * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: Changed the demultiplexing code to reflect the + change made with the dispatch method. The poa on finding the right + object corresponding to the key, now invokes the dispatch method + on that object which by dynamic binding invokes the dispatch + method of the POA_* class. + +Tue Dec 02 15:29:41 1997 <nw1@CHA-CHA> + + * tao/{connect,orb_core}.h: Moved Win32 specific template + specialization declaration from connect.h to orb_core.h because + the definition had moved to orb_core.i. + + * tao/object.cpp: Removed conditional directives around + DEFINE_GUID for IID_IUnknown. This is now defined for Win32 + also. + + * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed macro definition __IIOP_BUILD.

Ideally we'd use something smarter + than this, but hopefully (if you read the comment below) this will + go away soon. + + * tao/iiopobj.*: Added an ACE_INET_Addr to IIOP::Profile so that + we only need to do a gethostbyname() once.

This + was happening since an overloaded == operator taking an + AST_Expression* was not getting called. Instead a simple + comparison of addresses was taking place. We now use the "compare" + method defined on the AST_Expression class to fix this problem. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Removed some code under #if 0. The + noteworthy change, however, has to do with code that gets + generated for the "_is_a_skel". Some compilers were issuing a + warning saying "unused argument obj". Since we cannot change the + signature of the generated "_is_a_skel", we use the trick of + generatung ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj); in the code. Some other + formatting changes made. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Some very minor changes so that the + generated code is properly indented. + + * tao/{iiopobj,object,stub}.h, iiopobj.cpp: Changed the return + type of _get_name to return a heap-allocated "char *". In the + earlier case we were erroneously returning a pointer to local + array. This was a change I made a couple of days back to deal with + the fact that object keys are octet arrays and are not null + terminated.

The second constructor is used to reduce the amount of + code that gets generated to set a IIOP_Object in the constructor + of the skeleton class. + + Additionally, these constructors use the REENTRANT get_host_name + method of the INET_Addr class to retrieve the host name. + + * tao/iiopobj.h,stub.h: Modified the signature of _get_name to + return a const char*. So users will have to copy this value. + + * tao/iiopobj.cpp: The method _get_name uses an internal character + array in which the object key is copied. This is necessary so that + we can NULL terminate the opaque key and return it to the user. + + * tao/orbconf.h,cdr.h: Commented (and will eventually remove) the + defintion of MY_BYTE_SEX from cdr.h. Instead, we now use the macro + TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER which gets defined in orbconf.h. The files + affected due to this renaming are: + + tao/{iioporb.cpp, giop.cpp, except.cpp, cdr.cpp, encode.cpp, + interp.cpp, tc_const.cpp} + + The following files in the IDL compiler source were affected since + they had to generate TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER instead of MY_BYTE_SEX. + TAO_IDL/be/{be_array,be_enum,be_interface,be_sequence,be_structure, + be_union}.cpp + + * tao/{typecode,decode}.cpp: some reformatting, indentation. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: code generated for _bind uses the + newly added constructor to class IIOP_Object. + + * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface.be_state}.cpp: Code generated for + _narrow now takes an additional CORBA::Environment parameter. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: cubit_i.cpp - in the method + make_cubit, we make a copy of the string returned by _get_name and + then free that memory. + + clnt.cpp: The tests for unions have been uncommented.

Carlos, Sergio, and myself independently found an + extremely bad piece of code that was getting generated that looked + like the following: + ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY)_ptr + + The new convention is to pass the suffix such as "_ptr", or "_var" + or "_out" to this method so that it can generate valid code of the + form: + ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY_ptr) + + * be/be_decl.cpp : All the methods such as repoID (), flatname + (), etc now check if the corresponding data member was created or + not. If they are not, the corresponding private method e.g., + compute_repoID (), are invoked. This way we do not have to call + all these private methods in the constructors of all the derived + be classes. The one compelling reason to do it this way is because + the "names" for certain types are not available at construction + time, e.g., sequences. A name to a sequence is assigned from the + context it is in i.e., whether it was a named sequence in the form + of a "typedef" statement or it was an anonymous sequence. + + As of this commit, all calls to such compute_* methods in the + constructors of all the derived be classes are commented out and + will eventually disappear in the next commit. + + * be/be_decl.cpp : One more change in be_decl.cpp is to add the + case for "interface_fwd" in the generation of the _var and _out + definitions and implementations. + + * be/be_helper.* : Added two new methods called "gen_ifdef_macro" + and "gen_endif". These are required to generate the #if !defined + (...) <code> #endif macros. These are very essential if the IDL + has forward declarations of interfaces. Forward declarations of + interfaces must generate a forward class declaration. In addition, + it has to typedef the "_ptr" type and define the "_var" and "_out" + types. However, the real "be_interface" class does this too which + can result in "multiple declarations" errors from the C++ + compiler. Hence we use this scheme. As in the case of the + nested_type_name method mentioned above, this method also takes a + default "suffix" parameter (= 0). This is required for the "_var", + "_ptr", and "_out" suffixes. + + * be/be_interface.cpp + be/be_interface_fwd.cpp: + + Used the TAO_OutStream::gen_ifdef_macro () and gen_endif methods + for the definitions of the _ptr, _var, and _out classes and their + implementations. + + *be/be_sequence.* : Lot of modifications and change in the design + in terms of handling the base types that themselves could be + sequences. Although the AST_Sequence i.e., OMG IDL does not define + a "sequence" to be a scope producing construct like structs or + unions, we choose to make "be_sequence" to be a scope producing + construct. This is no way alters the OMG IDL language because the + front-end is still the same. "be_sequence" was made to inherit + from scope because the sequence mapping gives rise to a C++ class + which is a scoping construct. This way, base types that turn out + to be anonymous sequences can be assigned a parent scope and their + name generation will fall in line with other classes. + + There are certain features missing with sequences at this commit + time, but this should reduce tweaking the generated code to a + large extent. + + * be/be_state.cpp: Update the code for handling sequences and + typedefs. Typedefs should be handled properly now. + + * All other *.cpp files: Either commented out the compute_* calls + in the constructors or removed them. + +Fri Oct 31 03:00:09 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/orb_core.cpp: Moved call to connector's open() into init(), + thus insuring that it gets called only AFTER all the resources are + available from the Resource Factory. + + * tao/orb_core.*: Changed data members to be associations rather + than containment. This allows decoupling of the + "thread-specificness" of these resources from the + thread-specificness of the general TAO_ORB_Core container. Also + added set accessors for those resources. + + Added TAO_Resource_Factory class from which the TAO_ORB_Core + container initializes itself. For now this remains a singleton + which is, at compile-time, determined to be either TSS or not. + But, soon, it will be loaded via the Service Configurator and its + TSS nature determined at runtime. + + * tao/giop.h: Updated to use the new ACE macro + ACE_CLASS_IS_NAMESPACE. + + * tao/default_server.*: Implemented the new open() method so that + it initializes the Reactive and Threaded strategies from the + information in TAO_ORB_Core. + + * tao/server_factory.*: Added open() method to be called after all + ORB resources are loaded up. This method can then be used by a + strategy factory to further initialize its contained strategies if + they require handles to resources to which the ORB might legislate + access. The default implementation does nothing. + +Fri Oct 31 01:03:05 1997 <irfan@TWOSTEP> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): obj was not declared. + Commented out use of obj in dmsg1. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_Factory_i): + numobjs_ was used before it was assigned. + + * TAO/TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.{mak,mdp}: Added VC++4.2 make files. + + * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump): Streaming the enum was + ambiguous.

There were errors indicating "type clash on default action". + + This had to do with the fact that the non-terminal "type_dcl" did not + have any type defined for it, but it had "struct_type", "union_type" + and others on the right-hand side of the rules. The default action of + YACC is supposed to assign1 to. So the type for "struct_type" + that happened to be a AST_Decl node was getting assigned to the + non-terminal "type_dcl" who had no type. + + I am very surprised that the "yacc" on our Sparcs never ever gave this + error, but bison did. + + Hence I have modified idl.yy slightly so that I have {$$ = 0;} as the + default action. In addition, the non-terminal "type_dcl" is now + defined to be of type "ival" which is defined as long inside the + %union clause. + + Above all, the bison generated files required some prototypes.

Due to this the params would retrieve results in the + allocated storage whereas the stubs/skeletons would continue to + use variables that they had defined to hold the values. + +Fri Oct 24 17:33:21 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/poa.*: #ifdef'd out the IIOP 1.4 references to shutdown. + I'm leaving them in there right now because they might be useful + as private member later when we need to figure out how to get OAs + to cooperate and shut themselves down in the face of an ORB + shutdown. + + * tao/orbobj.h (shutdown): Fixed up documentation. + + * tao/orbobj.i (shutdown): Provided appropriate arg default. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Eliminated unnecessary Object Adapter + name from POA_init() invocation. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit): Revised to use + the new ORB::shutdown() method. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp: Got rid of IIOP 1.4-style debug + message calls. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB::ORB_init): Corrected a heinous + problem in the option parsing loop where argvec_shift() would be + asked to shift two argv elements when there was only one. This + could cause problems if an option that required an argument didn't + include the argument. Thanks to Manojkumar Acharya + <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> for sending in a bug report that lead to my + finding this! + +Fri Oct 24 14:08:12 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * Improved the compiler to make Unions work. The most subtle error + was the way the private section of the class for unions was being + generated. TAO's Typecode library expected the union members to be + inside of a C++ union declaration inside the private + section. Whereas the compiler was generating each member + separately. + + Another source of error was bad typecode tables getting + generated. This is now fixed. + + * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: The cubit_i.cpp for cube_union was doing + wrong calculations for structs. This was due to my copy-paste + tendency and not verifying if it was correct or not. This has been + fixed. The README file is updated to reflect the fact that this + directory contains code that uses the IDL compiler. + +Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997 Douglas C.

Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * clnt.cpp: Removed mysterious obsolete definitions of + cube_union_stub() and cube_union_dii(). + + * be_state.h: Added definitions for the methods in class + be_state_attribute. For some reason, they were missing. + + * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added the necessary template + specializations so that the TAO IDL compiler will work with GCC. + +Thu Oct 23 22:46:10 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO IDL Compiler: More progress in terms of getting the Cubit + example to work with the IDL generated code. However, we are still + finding some problems with using the client-side cubit_union_dii + to work properly. + + Much of the improvements were to the server-side skeletons for + operations. In addition, code for union constructors, assignment + operator, and accessor for discriminant added. + + Some bugs in typecode generation are fixed. This had to do with + the encapsulation length for predefined types. It was returning -1 + as opposed to 0. + + * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added this directory with the cubit + example. Use this to test the IDL compiler. The makefile will + invoke the IDL compiler to create the required files. + +Thu Oct 23 18:34:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/*/Makefile: Fixed the Makefiles so that it has the correct + files and dependencies. Thanks to Steven Wohlever + <wohlever@mitre.org> for reporting this. + +Wed Oct 22 20:02:39 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * README.sun: Added an explicit reminder at the top that the + information in this file is historical in nature and does not + necessarily apply to current reality. + + * tao/orbobj.* (shutdown): Added code to the run() event loop so + that it will terminate when it finds a flag set. This involved + adding the flag to the ORB's state and minimally implementing the + shutdown() method. The shutdown method still does not honor the + "wait for completion" flag which can be passed to it, though. + + * README: Updated the season from "summer" to "Fall" ;-) Also + added a note that warned people not to try to link TAO with a + version of ACE that's linked with another ORB library, e.g., + liborbix.so. Thanks to Steven Wohlever <wohlever@mitre.org> for + bringing this instructional omission to our attention. + + * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made the body of + this function conditional on the TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP + preprocessor definition since it doesn't need to exist in + platforms that grok the Service Configurator. This will also + reduce the memory footprint :-). Thanks to David Miron + <dxm@crapper.dsto.defence.gov.au> for pointing this out! + + * tao/orb_core.cpp (TAO_ORB_Core): Removed explicit CTOR + initialization of reactor_ member. + +Wed Oct 22 19:37:22 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO IDL Compiler: Improvements made so that the server-side + skeletons for operations now generate valid code.

This should hopefully + eliminate the problems Boeing was seeing in the early rounds of + testing the most recent release of TAO. + + * tao/{iiopobj.*,giop.h}: Moved a lock that had been in + TAO_GIOP_Invocation (why? I don't know) into IIOP_Object. It + protects the fwd_profile_ pointer, which has now become private. + Also added accessors for the data member as well as the lock. + Accessors come in two flavors--thead-safe (fwd_profile()) and + non-thread-safe (fwd_profile_i()). The non-thread-safe variety + expect that the lock will be taken and held for the duration of + their usage, but no checking is performed in this respect. + + * tao/giop.cpp: Changed references to the IIOP_Object::fwd_profile + data member to go through the new accessors (see above). + + * tao/stub.i: Created new file with inline methods for + STUB_Object. + + * tao/stub.h: Moved inline method definitions into a new + file--stub.i. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp (BOA_init): Eliminated dead code and unused + variable. + + * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Eliminated unused argument + warning detected by gcc. + + * tao/corba.h: Re-ordered inclusion of Orb_Core.i to eliminate + 'function used before declared inline' errors detected by gcc. + + * tao/{Orb_Core,boa,corbacom,orb,orbobj,svrrqst}.*: Renamed BOA to + POA. + + * docs/releasenotes*: Moved releasenotes.html into a directory + named "releasenotes" so that the various status pages can live + independently. Currently only the ORB Core's status page is + broken out, but the documentation should eventually turn into two + frames with the one at the top acting as the guide and the lower + frame being the actual status document. + +Fri Oct 17 17:42:27 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * docs/releasenotes.html: Updated to reflect current status. + + * tao/orbobj.*: Added some documentation for open() method. + + * tao/roa.*: Gone.

This needs to be integrated + more cleverly in the ORB. + + * tao/orbobj.h: Put an instance of the TAO_CONNECTOR into each + TAO_ORB_Core object so that we don't have to share these things + among all of the threads in a process, but instead can have them + be located in thread-specific storage. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp (perform_work): Updated the run() and + perform_work() methods to take optional ACE_Time_Value *'s (so + they can return from timeouts) and to return error flags if + things go wrong. + + * tao/orbobj.h (CORBA_ORB): Changed the set_up_for_listening() + call to open(), which is more consistent with other usage in + ACE/TAO. + + * tao/orbobj: Changed the name client_acceptor_ to peer_acceptor_ + to reflect the fact that the connection model is more generic + than the notion of client/server interactions (which really take + place as the result of particular communication roles). + + * tao/corba.h: Moved the order of #includes around so that + "connect.h" is included before "client_factory.h" + + * tao/connect.h: Moved the typedef of the ACE_Strategy_Connector<> + from the TAO_Client_Strategy_Factory into the global space and + renamed it TAO_CONNECTOR file so that it will be equivalent with + the TAO_ACCEPTOR. + +Thu Oct 9 23:17:37 1997 Douglas C.

This had previously been accessed using + TAO_ORB_CORE::instance(), but Win32s linking procedures made the + template for TAO_ORB_CORE expand in both the application and the + library/DLL, thus creating two singletons. Bad scene. The + function should force the expansion of the template to only be in + the DLL. + + * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,orbobj,roa}.cpp: + Changed references to TAO_ORB_CORE::instance() to + TAO_ORB_Core_instance(). + + * tao/singletons.h: Removed definition of TAO_ORB_CORE. + +Sat Oct 4 20:08:57 1997 Nanbor Wang <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/TAO.{dsp,dsw}: Added tao_internals.cpp into project file + list. + + * tao/tao_internals.h (TAO_Internal): Added ACE_Svc_Export and + I d. + + * tao/tao_internals.i (open_services): Added default return value + 0. + + * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Added #include "tao/tao_internals.h" and + the CVS I d field.

Process-unique code is + still there, but conditionally compiled mutually-exclusive to the + other scheme. + + * tao/server_factory.*: The object_lookup_strategy method is gone + and is replaced by the create_object_table factor method. See + more information below. + + * tao/default_server.*: The server factory no longer holds on to a + single pointer for the object lookup strategy. In previous + incarnations of TAO, this didn't cause problems, but the advent of + ORB-per-thread highlighted the inherent badness in this + implementation choice. Gone is the object_lookup_strategy method, + and in comes the create_object_table factory method, which creates + and returns (and doesn't hold onto) an object table in accordance + with parameters such as size and search algorithm. + + * tao/roa.cpp: Changed to use the create_object_table method. + +Thu Oct 2 13:48:31 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Modified the key generation scheme to + include thread ID. This works around a current shortcoming in the + ORB Core in which the object table is shared throughout all object + adapters (yes, this is being fixed). + + * tao/tao_internals.*: Added new class to scope static operations + and data completely internal to the ORB. + + * tao/orbobj.{i,cpp}: Moved CORBA_ORB DTOR into cpp file.

Added corbacom.i for implementing + the String's _var and _out classes + + sequence.{h,i}: Added a number of templates for _var and _out + classes. However, these are yet to be used and tested. + + * Alpha release of TAO IDL compiler added to this release. This is + an alpha release and we are currently putting it to rigorous + test. A large amount of code for the back end is added under the + TAO/TAO_IDL/be_include and TAO/TAO_IDL/be/ directories. + + In addition, some amount of ACEification done to methods belonging + to the TAO/TAO_IDL/utils/ classes. + + A few errors in the IDL grammar have been fixed in + fe/idl.yy. These had to do with the valid types for parameters and + operation return types. There are still some errors recognizing + unions which will be fixed later. The scanner (fe/idl.l) was + modified to recognize the OMG IDL data type "any". + + * The ChangeLog file under TAO/TAO_IDL is removed and its contents + are inserted appropriately in this ChangeLog file + +Sun Sep 28 17:01:27 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/multiCubit: Added a multi-threaded version of Cubit. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp: At long last, Andy has his wish for not having + to provide a "-ORBhost <me>" argument to a server. It now uses + ACE_OS::hostname() to determine the canonical hostname, and + listens on that address. + + * tao/singletons.h: Changed the ORB Core singleton to be a TSS + singleton; this will eventually be conditionally compiled in + (before release). Also added comments and "safety defines". + + * tao/except.cpp: Changed some usage of fputs() in + print_exception() to use ACE_DEBUG. + +Sun Sep 28 03:18:24 1997 Nanbor Wang <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.h (Object): Changed references of base + class from "CORBA::Object" to "CORBA_Object." MSVC doesn't + allow this. + + * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to TAO_Orb_Core class. + + * tao/corbacom.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to all IID constants. + Notice that we must put ACE_Svc_Export _after_ extern "C". + +Sat Sep 27 09:31:42 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/Orb_Core.h: Fixed the friend declaration for + CORBA::ORB_init(). + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Modified to use ORB::run() for event + loop and eliminated code cruft. + + * tao/orbobj.*: Added stubs for 4 methods on the ORB from the + POA spec: work_pending, perform_work, run, and shutdown. Of all + of these, only run is reasonably implemented, and there not even + according to the spec (because the way the spec works isn't really + good for our purposes...need to work on that). See the docs for + information. + + Moved the initialization of the Acceptor into its own method, + set_up_for_listening (which is a one-shot style method), and + placed a call to this within the aforementioned run method. + + * tao/default_client.h: Miscellaneous comments added. + + * tao/connect.cpp: Corrected an errant ACE_DEBUG () call. + + * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added private methods to allow setting of the + orb and extended the laurel of friendship to CORBA::ORB_init(). + +Fri Sep 26 10:20:06 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/orbobj.*: Added acceptor initialization code to CORBA_ORB + CTOR. (We still need to find a way to NOT do this on the client + side.) Moved CORBA_ORB CTOR into .cpp to avoid nasty + interdependencies caused when it was in the .i file. Moved the + specification of host and port to be ORB parameters rather than OA + parameters, i.e., -OAhost is now -ORBhost and -OAport is now + -ORBport. + + * tao/roa.*: Removed server-side connection endpoint + initialization (Acceptor stuff) and put it into the ORB. + + * tao/connect.h: Renamed ROA_Acceptor to TAO_Acceptor (since it's + not related to the OA any longer), and restored explicit inclusion + of ace headers to avoid having to include "corba.h". + + * tao/boa.h: Removed unneeded get_addr() method. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp: Updates to support changes in ORB + Core. + +Thu Sep 25 12:28:02 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/params.*: Added explicit CTOR & DTOR for + TAO_{OA,ORB}_Parameters classes that somehow got removed in the + previous round of attacks. Also specified all methods which go + into the .i file as "LOCAL_INLINE" within the header. This avoids + having to unravel ugly, complex order interdependencies. + +Thu Sep 25 03:48:02 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * docs/Options.html: Terse documentation on options available for + the abstract factories. + + * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added this class (TAO_ORB_Core) to hold the + "state" of an ORB. The intent is that as we move towards + different concurrency models, this can be thrown into + thread-specific storage and remain a singleton, essentially + allowing the running of an ORB-per-thread. + + * tao/singletons.h: Added this file to contain type definitions + for *ALL* ACE_Singleton<> types used within TAO. This was + motivated by a desire to eliminate the multitude of warnings + generated by g++ regarding methods being called before declared + inline, and the only way to eliminate this was to insure that all + inlined methods were seen by the compiler before the + ACE_Singleton<> definition. Thus, corba.h includes singleton.h as + the very last thing that it does. + + * tao/params.*: TAO_OA_Parameters is no longer a singleton, and + because of new recognition of associations in the object model for + an ORB, lots of data members and their methods have been shuffled + to other places or eliminated. addr() now belongs in + TAO_ORB_Parameters, and root_poa_ is in TAO_ORB_Core. The + using_threads_, thread_flags_, upcall_, and forwarder_ members + have been eliminated and their roles taken over by the Concurrency + Strategies and the new Dispatch call chain implemented in my last + round of changes. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp: Changed references to the ORB singleton to go + through TAO_ORB_CORE::instance(). Also eliminated an unnecessary + global function (_orb()). + + * tao/marshal.h: Moved all ACE_Singleton<> typedefs into + singleton.h. See comment on tao/corba.h for more information. + + * tao/iioporb.h: Removed unnecessary TAO_ORB singleton. This is + now assumed by TAO_ORB_Core instances. + + * tao/corbacom.h: Added CORBA::POA_ptr for upward compatibility. + + * tao/corba.h: Added Orb_Core.[hi] to the appropriate places. + Moved iiop{orb,obj}.i inclusions around and moved typedef'ing of + all ACE_Singletons into singletons.h, which must be #included + AFTER all the inline files. This eliminated all of the + used-before-declared-inline warnings. + + * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,roa}.*: Updated + singleton usages to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated singleton usages + to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton. + +Wed Sep 17 12:26:56 1997 Nanbor Wang <nw1@CHA-CHA> + + * tao/TAO.dsp: Updated source file list. + +Mon Sep 15 16:52:28 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated references to oa() + to root_pos(). + + * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected some adjustments made for Service + Configurator rework. + + * tao/giop.h: Moved the def for TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile out of the + range of valid GIOP messages. + + * tao/connect.cpp: Added special case for TAO_GIOP_Reply to break + out, and distinguished TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile from other errors by + setting errno. + + * tao/boa.cpp: The complete reply header is now stuck into the + response stream...what a novel concept! + +Fri Sep 12 05:40:50 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * params.h: Renamed oa() method to be root_poa() in preparation + for the future. + + * orbobj.cpp: Adjusted the FAKE_SVC_ENTRY macro to catch up to + recent changes in ACE. + + * giop.*: Major surgery including elimination of GIOP as a giant + namespace (now only static methods are in it). Changed names of + things to TAO_*. + + * {encode,decode,iiopobj,invoke,roa}.*: Name changes resulting + from giop.cpp surgery. + + * corbacom.h: Moved TAO_opaque decl into here. + + * corba.h: Re-ordered the inline #includes so that the stuff that + is ALWAYS inlined is included prior to the stuff that's only + inlined when __ACE_INLINE__ is turned on. + + * connect.*: Modified handle_input() substantially.

All the files in the + TAO/tao distribution have been affected. The most notable changes + are: + (1) A file called "tao/corba.h" is now the master file. All *.cpp + files include *just* this file and nothing else. + + (2) "tao/corbacom.h" is the file that defines the CORBA namespace + i.e., class CORBA. Individual CORBA classes such as TypeCode, BOA, + etc are now defined inside the CORBA namespace. This will allow + users and developers to use CORBA::TypeCode as opposed to the + previous CORBA_TypeCode. Instead of nesting the classes, however, + we use typedefs to define individual CORBA classes inside class + CORBA e.g., typedef CORBA_TypeCode TypeCode; + + (3) All *.i files are included at the end of "tao/corba.h" and + nowhere else. However, if __ACE_INLINE__ isnot defined, then each + individual *.i file is not yet included in their corresponding + .cpp file. This will be done next. + + * TAO/tests/Demux_Test: Included code that tests various + demultiplexing strategies in TAO. At this point, however, the code + will not work because of changes in TAO. This will be done + next. A README file provides additional details. + + * TAO/Benchmark: A suite of benchmarking tests have been + included. This is still in the preliminary stages of + development. The idea is to compare various aspects of CORBA such + as marshaling overhead, demux costs, throughput, latency, and + others for a range of ORBs including TAO. Since there are + differences in programming different ORBs, this suite tries to + abstract out all the common features or atleast provide a uniform + interface so that minimal efforts are required to port an + application from one ORB to another. + + Benchmark/benchmark: This directory contains thecommon features + Benchmark/Marshal_Test: Tests marshaling overhead in 3 ORBs - + Orbix, VisiBroker, and TAO. More will be added. There are a few + problems getting DSI to work. The tech support at IONA and + VisiBroker have been contacted. + +Sat Aug 9 14:05:08 1997 Douglas C.

Otherwise this was resulting in a segmentation fault + violation. + + * tao/boa.{h,i}: Added comments and changed "release" to CORBA_release + + * tao/cdr.{h,cpp}: Added some comments and removed some stuff that was + under #if 0 .. #endif + + * tao/corbacom.h: Added lots of comments for the CORBA_String_var class + + * tao/decode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::decode to work, added comments. + + * tao/encode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::encode to work, added comments. + + * tao/factories.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Removed "void + object_lookup_strategy" method since we do this in the parameters + class. Added code that will use a user defined lookup strategy if + the corresponding flag is set. This needs to be tested. + + * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: In the allocation and deallocation of the buffer + for object key, we now use "new/delete" instead of "malloc/free". + + * tao/interp.cpp: commented out a line that decremented 4 from the + offset provided for indirected typecodes. I guess this was plain + hack to get some broken things to work. + + * tao/objtable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added code that will use + template specialization for the dynamic hashing case. In addition, + improved the destructors of the classes since previously, these + were not releasing occupied memory. + + * tao/optable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added template + specialization for dynamic hashing scheme. Made dynamic hashing + scheme the default. Added a new definition for "struct + TAO_operation_db_entry". The idea is that an IDL compiler will + generate a database of operations and their corresponding + skel_ptrs. Such a database is now passed to teh constructors of + the operation lookup tables. This way, only one instance of such + lookup tables can be shared by any number of objects implementing + the same interface. + + * tao/params.{h,i,cpp}: Made dynamic hashing the default. Added a hook + by which users can supply their lookup strategies. *Needs testing*. + + * tao/typecode.{h,i,cpp}: Added comments and many changes. The private + state's constructor now takes an argument that is a TCKind + representing the TypeCode kind of the object of which we are the + private state. Removed "child_free". Instead, we introduced a + destructor for the private state that frees all the + children. Another important change is to the constructor of the + TypeCode class. We pass a "parent" pointer, if any, to the + constructor. All children typecodes will share the octet buffer of + the parent. Only freestanding typecodes will allocate octet + buffers. We have a new data member called "non_aligned_buffer_" + because the buffer we allocate may not be aligned on a 4 byte + boundary. As a result, we may start using the buffer at a shifted + position to the right. However, we do not want to lose a handle to + the original buffer that was allocated because at the time of + freeing, this pointer needs to be freed. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO: Modified a few files (method_db.i, cubitS.cpp) + so that they use the modified optable and objtable classes. Added + a README file to indicate how to run the example. + + * tests/Thruput_test: Modified virtually all the files to make it + work with the latest TAO release and its include files. Also, + changes similar to Cubit were necessary due to changes in the + objtable and optable classes. + +Wed Jul 16 14:17:01 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/params.*: Eliminated unnecessary + ACE_LACKS_STATIC_DATA_MEMBER_TEMPLATES checks from + TAO_OA_Parameters (unnecessary b/c it's not a template). Also + corrected the type of TAO_OA_Parameters::ace_singleton_lock_. + +Wed Jul 16 11:34:36 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/boa.cpp: Removed some unused code. + + * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added explicit check for prior inclusion + of ace/OS.h, with an error being produced if it's not included. + This will help keep me honest and remember to always include OS.h + beforehand, since I do most of my development on non-WIN32 + platforms. + + * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Added #include "ace/OS.h" before every inclusion + of <objbase.h>. This is required on WIN32 platforms because + objbase.h eventually ends up including <winsock.h>, which is the + wrong version of winsock from what ACE requires. Thus, by + including OS.h prior to objbase.h, objbase.h ends up not trying to + include a winsock header. + + * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added missing #include for tao/debug.h. + +Wed Jul 16 10:55:55 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/PC_Install.bat: removed it since it isn't needed anymore + + * tao/TAO.dsp: Changed include path and removed calling of + PC_Install.bat + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: Changed include path + +Tue Jul 15 16:13:53 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.cpp: Added missing calls to Release() + after QueryInterface() calls. The tip-off that this wasn't + happening was the fact that, upon client exit, there were upwards + of 15 references to the object references. Now it's only 5-7 + (more work to go). + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...". + Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header + inclusion in certain files. + + * tao/compat/*.h: Changed the guts of these files so that they + work more like their "real" counterparts in the VC++ 5.0. This + should encourage compatibility. Note that, unlike the previous + files, objbase.h MUST be included before initguid.h; this is + consistent with the model on WIN32. + + * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...". + Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header + inclusion in certain files. + + * tao/giop.cpp: Removed get_request() crufty old code. + + * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Backed out many prior special-code additions + for defining IIDs. Hopefully the need for these is negated by + changes elsewhere in the "compat" files. + + * tao/object.cpp: Corrected the conditional compilation switch + used to determine if we define IID_IUnknown. This now happens + whenever WIN32 isn't defined, instead of before when it was only + on unix or vxworks platforms. + + * tao/Makefile: Eliminated the need to copy files into a "proto/" + directory; now, everything is built into and used from the "tao" + directory. + + There is also a new, optional, environment + variable--TAO_ROOT--which should be set to the ".../TAO" + directory. If it's not set, the Makefile will set it to + WRAPPER_ROOT/TAO. + + Lastly, libcorba.* has changed to libTAO.*. + + * tao/orb.h: Eliminated many header files which had been + explicitly included here and were causing all manner of problems + with circular includes. Library components must now be careful to + include appropriate headers for all components they use, and we + will likely have to create a corba.h file for clients to use. + +Fri Jul 11 12:12:40 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/TAO.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll in the release + version + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll + and tao-r.dll for the release versions. + +Thu Jul 10 15:47:24 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * docs/: Removed the following obsolete files: README.apm, + BUILDING, and TESTS. + + * tao/params.*: Moved the instance() methods into the .cpp from + the .i, as well as the declaration for the singleton locks. + Having the singleton locks declared in the .i file caused much + consternation when ACE inlining was turned on. + + * tao/iiopobj.cpp: #ifdef'd the IID_STUB_Object declaration added + a few days ago so that it happens one way on NT, and another in + the rest of the Universe. I would have preferred to find a more + general solution, but didn't find one quickly enough to satisfy my + current requirements. + + * tao/roa.*: Removed get_request() method. This should improve + our McCabe scores ;-) + + * tao/boa.h: Removed get_request() method. + +Wed Jul 9 14:44:31 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO-Install: Added installation instructions for NT + +Tue Jul 8 20:52:06 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/PC_Install.bat: Made it very quiet. + + * tao/params.{cpp,h,i}: Changed TAO_OA_PARAMS from a + ACE_Singleton to a plain singleton by just integrating the + ACE_Singleton code into the class. + +Tue Jul 8 14:27:47 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/except.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to SYSEX macro + + * tao/iiopobj.cpp: changed declaration of IID_STUB_Object + to include ACE_Svc_Export + + * tao/stub.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to IID_STUB_Object + +Tue Jul 8 12:44:14 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/orbobj.cpp: Put the "*" in before the comment since it is + supposed to be there. Put a space between it and the comment + to get rid of the warning which VC was giving originally. + +Tue Jul 8 10:21:27 1997 Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/typecode.cpp: Changed a few loop counters from int to + CORBA_ULong to get rid of unsigned/signed comparison warnings + + * tao/orbobj.cpp: Got rid of a "*" before a comment. Looked like + a typo + + * tao/PC_Install.bat: Replaced "#...." with "rem ...." + +Mon Jul 7 20:59:05 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_{svr,clnt}.cpp (main): Added template + specialization code and updated the formatting. Thanks to Arturo + Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this. + + * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_svr.cpp (main): Added the -i options to + getopt(). Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for + reporting this. + + * TAO/tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Added a + #define for M_UNIX. Thanks to Arturo Montes + <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this. + +Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997 Douglas C.

Schmidt <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao: Fixed all the code so that we put ACE_MT around all the + ACE_GUARD_RETURN macros. + + * tao: Updated all of TAO to make sure we use [] when deleting + arrays in order to avoid memory leaks. This looks like lots of + sloppiness left over from the original SunSoft IIOP code. + +Sat Jul 5 16:12:31 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao/{any,iiopobj,nvlist,principa,request,roa,svrrqst,typecode}.cpp: + Fixed a double-deletion of a lock. + + * tao/typecode.i: Cleaned up lots of minor warnings with the code + that are only revealed when running GCC. The code should now + compile almost completely cleanly with -wall. + + * tao/typecode.{i,h}: Changed the name of TC_PRV_State to + TC_Private_State. + + * tao: Replaced ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX so that the + code will compile on non-threaded and threaded platforms alike. + + * tao/marshal.cpp: Added template specializations for the Marshal + primitives. Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for + reporting this. + + * tao/Makefile (LDLIBS): Replaced -lcorba with -lACE so that we no + longer have problems with circular link dependencies. Thanks to + Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this. + +Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu> + + * TAO version 0.0.4, released Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997. + +Sat Jul 5 12:39:57 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tao: All throughout TAO I removed the direct use of system + include files in lieu of using ace/OS.h. + + * tao/{orbobj,typecode}.cpp: orb.h must be included before others + include files. Previous includes prevent correct use of ACE config + flags, therefore, I removed them. Thanks to Arturo Montes + <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this. + + * tao/{debug,roa}.cpp: changed _POSIX_THREADS to ACE_HAS_PTHREADS. + Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting + this. + + * tao/decode.cpp (decode): The casting (CORBA_ULong) kind is + unnessary and wrong so I removed it.

Schmidt <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu> + + * Compiled the first alpha release of TAO on Solaris just + to make sure it still works. So far, so good... hence, + the first alpha release is out the door! + +Tue Jul 1 23:35:53 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * VERSION: Added a VERSION file, starting at version 0.0.0... + +Tue Jul 1 23:00:15 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * Added a new tests directory with the Cubit and TTCP + examples. The older test directory will be deleted soon. + + In addition, the tc_constants in the tc_constants.cpp file are + declared with an ACE_Svc_Export to make the Win NT compiler + happy. Extern declarations in typecode.h had the same changes. + + * Updated the PC_install.bat file. In addition, there was one more + warning in typecode.cpp (Win NT compiler) that was fixed. Finally, + in the the tc_const.cpp file, the ACE_Svc_Export was used + accidently. This has been fixed. + + * A number of files were updated with ACE_Svc_Export so that + variables and classes do not remain unresolved for Win32 + platform. Similarly, Irfan had sent me a list of warnings that the + Win NT compiler was giving. These are fixed. + + * marshal.*: Changed the way make_marshal_object works. Instead of + having a switch statement, we index into a private table of + marshal objects using the TypeCode _kind field. MarshalFactory now + maintains this private table. + +Mon Jun 30 17:39:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu> + + * Added a new README file and a COPYING file that explains the + contents of TAO and clarifies its copyright status. + +Sun Jun 29 10:06:50 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * marshal.*: Added CORBA_Environment as a parameter to + make_marshal_object factory method. The reason for doing this was + to enable inlining of the CDR::encode and CDR::decode methods. + + * typecode.*: Changed the way typecodes get deleted. Constant + typecodes are now owned by the ORB and their private state freed + when the ORB dies. IDL generated typecodes are not owned by the + ORB and are the only ones whose refcount matters. Typecodes + belonging to the IDL generated typecodes are also not owned by the + ORB and there is no effect on their refcount. They get freed only + if the parent is destroying itself. + + In typecode.i, methods such as length and content_type were not + getting inlined due to presence of switch statements. Converted to + if/else. + + * interp.cpp: Bug fix: Had previously forgotten to update the + size/alignment of the private state of the typecode. + +Fri Jun 27 14:27:49 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * any.cpp: The deep_copy and deep_free optimizations applied. In + the previous release, I had forgotten to add these to the Any + constructor (that calls deep_copy) and Any destructor/replace + (that call deep_free). + + * connect.cp, factories.cpp: Added code that hardcodes the socket + buffer sizes to 64K. This is a hack for the time being. + +Thu Jun 26 10:02:47 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * Some more progress on IDL compiler. Generates the client and + server side files without much contents in it. + +Thu Jun 26 09:49:38 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * Added a full range of optimizations to the TAO IIOP interpretive + marshaling engine. The static methods encoder and decoder have + been removed from the CDR class. Instead, separate classes for + marshaling have been created for each individual data type. The + CDR stream maintains a factory that returns an appropriate + marshaling object depending on the data type to be + marshaled. Files added include marshal.h, marshal.i, encode.cpp, + decode.cpp, deep_free.cpp, and deep_copy.cpp. The marshal.h file + defines classes for an abstract MarshalObject. The factory is + responsible to return a concrete specialized instance of the + MarshalObject. + + * Updated the CORBA_TypeCode class so that it now provides all the + CORBA_2.0 compliant operations. These include length(), + content_type(), member_type(), member_label(), + discriminant_type(), id(), default_index(). The equal() operations + is still not implemented. In addition, precomputation + optimizations are applied to the TypeCode class. This includes + precomputing various parameters (if any) of a TypeCode. For + example, a struct TypeCode keeps track of the member count and + member types. As a result, it is not necessary to interpret the + CDR encapsulated stream to retrieve these parameters. + + * At this time, there are some problems getting the Unions to work. + +Thu Jun 12 15:45:49 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Added explicit template instantiations + for ACE_Hash_Map_Manager<>. + + * IIOP/lib/giop.*: Finally got rid of all those methods that took + ACE_HANDLE as the argument. Now, all those operate on + ACE_SOCK_Streams. + +Thu Jun 5 10:15:21 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Corrected output format in error message. + +Thu Jun 5 10:09:01 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added a new class to catch SIGINT and + terminate. This was necessary to Quantify the server process. + + * IIOP/lib/orbobj.h: Added ACE_INLINE to forward decls of + CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil(). + +Wed May 23 14:39:01 1997 Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com> + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.{h,cpp}: Added template specialization of + ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for char*'s. + + * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp: Fixed type_id to be of type CORBA_String_var. + Also, added a debug msg to print the object address to show the + object for which the request is made. + + * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added capability to create multiple Cubit + objects via command line options. Added -n for number of objects and + -k for specifying a base name. For instance, -k Beevis -n 2 creates + Beevis1 and Beevis2 objects. The clnt can then specify a specific + object for the request as usual. + +Wed May 22 12:28:45 1997 Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com> + + * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Deleted VxWorks specific sections. Command + line is now working for VxWorks. + * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Deleted VxWOrks specific sections. Command line + is now working for VxWorks. + +Wed May 22 11:31:42 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added better error checking and messages, and + performed general re-formatting. + + * IIOP/test/method_db.i (initialize_method_db): Changed arg type + to use a pointer to the abstract class TAO_Operation_Table. + + * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit::_skel_Cubit): Added better + error checking and messages. Also defaulted to use the linear + object table implementation rather than the hashed to simplify + debugging. + + * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved some code around so that more of the + code is common is less is specific to VxWorks and other platforms. + Also did general re-formatting. + + * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable::find): Initialization + of the loop variable makes the loop work properly. + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp (TAO_Dynamic_Hash_ObjTable::find): + Explicitly specified length of object key in CTOR for ACE_CString + because object keys are not zero-terminated. + + * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added newlines to the end of all ACE_DEBUG() + messages. + + * IIOP/lib/factories.cpp: Added template specializations for + ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr, TAO_Client_Connection_Handler>. + +Tue May 22 09:32:41 1997 Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com> + + * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Deleted #define old_value ACE_INLINE and + #define ACE_INLINE old_value lines.

Changed instances of debug_filter to + TAO_debug_filter. Deleted space between emit_prefix (stream). + + * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp Added undef(s) for ACE_INLINE and + do_undef_on_ACE_INLINE to eliminate redefinition problems. + + +Tue May 20 10:55:09 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Fixed the automatic inclusion of cdr.i into + cdr.h by checking to see if __ACE_INLINE__ is not defined and, if + so, defining ACE_INLINE to be "inline" (we tidy up the namespace + immediately after the inclusion of cdr.i, too). See source for + comments regarding why this is done. + + * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable_Entry): Removed setting + of opname and skel_ptr to zero in CTOR since the CTOR for those + already insures this. Moreover, NT's compiler was complaining + about ambiguous resolutions. + + * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,giop,debug,boa}.cpp: Fixed reference to + debug_level so it's TAO_debug_level. + + * IIOP/lib/object.h: Replaced inclusion of optable.h with forward + decl of TAO_Operation_Table. + + * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Fixed names of methods that were changed + in the header but never changed in the source. Amazing that + neither g++ nor Sun C++ caught these gaffs! (Finally, the NT + compiler wins). + + * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,object}.h: Changed the forward decls of + CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil() so that they are only in effect + when inlining is NOT being used. + + * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Fixed incorrect passing of an object to + ACE_DEBUG() where an int is expected. + +Mon May 19 17:16:34 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Explicit cast rids us of a warning. + + * IIOP/lib/params.h: Fixed CTOR name.

I think this will cause a problem when we + DON'T inline, but I'll cross that bridge later. + + * IIOP/lib/{orb,factories}.h: Made inclusion of some headers + conditional on the compilation phase (building the library or an + application). + + * IIOP/lib/cdr.i: Removed incorrect default arguments (g++ didn't + catch them). + + * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Removed thread from the header list. + +Mon May 19 10:07:00 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Changed implementation of the operation + table and the parameters repository so that they use the right + class names. + +Sat May 17 17:18:38 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * First pass at providing a backend to the SunSoft's CORBA IDL + compiler front end. + +Fri May 16 17:30:31 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Corrected some comments, adjusted some + argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized + names, and moved short methods into a new inline file. + + * IIOP/lib/stub.h: Corrected some comments and adjusted some + argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized + names. + + * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Corrected syntax error and fixed up typedef. + + * IIOP/lib/params.*: Removed extraneous comments and fixed + argument type on demux_strategy(). + + * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Added comments, removed static pointer to + the ORB. + + * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Removed extraneous comments and fixed + typedefs. + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Fixed some syntax errors introduced by + reformating. + + * IIOP/lib/object.cpp: Adjusted some argument type names to + reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names. + + * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Removed crufty #includes and adjusted some + argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized + names. + + * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Moved short methods into inline file, added + IIOP_ORB_ptr typedef, and changed data member to conform to ace + standards. + + * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Added the second CTOR that I forgot last + time and adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new, + namespace-sanitized names. + + * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Added comments for various enums and + structures. + + * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Switched various GIOP::Invocation methods to + use handler_->peer() for socket communication rather than going + through a file descriptor. Also began the arduous (no other word + could explain it!) process of converting the homegrown debugging + message macro uses into ACE_DEBUG() uses. + + * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Added explicit DTOR for TAO_Client_Factory + and completed all the darn explicit template instantiations. + Changed 'Svc_Handler' to 'TAO_Client_Connection_Handler', and + added the forgotton TAO_Client_Factory::connector() method. + + * IIOP/lib/debug.*: Added 'TAO_' prefix to global debug state + variables and removed crufty #includes. + + * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Change ROA_Handler to + TOA_OA_Connection_Handler (missed these the last time through). + + * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp: Added responsive commentary. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added comments to the dispatching code. + + * IIOP/lib/{any,boa,request,typecode}.cpp: Removed references to + thread.h/connmgr.*. + +Thu May 15 19:08:16 1997 Douglas C.

Changed + lookup()/register_obj() to find()/bind() for consistency with + established ACE APIs. + + * headers: Added comments to force C++ mode in emacs for header + files, and changed SCCS version tag info to RCS version tag info. + +Wed May 7 14:49:46 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: Some bugs from the CORBA_String_var class + have been fixed. Thanks to Brian Mendel for noticing these. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: In CORBA_BOA::dispatch, the opname local + variable of type CORBA_String_var is changed to be of type + CORBA_String.

Thanks again to + Brian Mendel for noticing this. + +Tue May 6 14:06:49 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: the register_obj's 2nd argument is changed from + CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr + + * IIOP/lib/object.hh: the return type for register_op method on + CORBA_Object is changed from void to int to be consistent. + + Added a new method "get_subclass" to CORBA_Object that returns a + pointer to the subclass. Typeically, this would be pointer to an + object that implements an interface. + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: @nd argument of register_obj changed + from CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr. + + * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: the type signature of "skeleton" is changed to + take CORBA_Object_ptr rather than CORBA_Object_ptr& as its 2nd argument. + +Mon May 5 20:28:54 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: commented out code that uses the "void + *context" field. It doesn't make any sense to have it. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: Added 2 pure virtual methods (shutting_down and + clean_shutdown). + + In addition, the "register_obj" method was added. It was missing before. + + * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: String_var's constructor bug is fixed. It + was trying to free storage that was never allocated. + + * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that + retrieves the object name. + + * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that + retrieves the object's name or key. This is for debugging purposes. + + * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: There was an infinite loop in parsing the + options to BOA_init. Fixed. + + * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Added the "get_name" virtual method. + +Sat May 3 22:45:23 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added code temporarily that invokes the + skeleton that is looked up. We still need to add code that will + handle the case when no match is found on the operation names. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: The register_obj method on TAO_Object_Table + now returns an integer indicating status of registering (-1 => + failure, 0 for success). + + * IIOP/lib/object.hh: The register_op method on + TAO_Operation_Table now returns an integer code (O for success, -1 + for failure). + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: The register_obj method returns an + integer code representing either success or failure. + + * IIOP/lib/optable.{hh,cpp}: Added new files that implement + concrete strategies for operation name lookup. + +Fri May 2 08:48:29 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Modified the signature of register_op on + TAO_Operation_Table to take a second argument to be a pointer to + the actual skeleton. + + Thanks to Brian Mendel for reporting this. + +Thu May 1 16:46:11 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method that can set the parent + pointer. + + * IIOP/lib/params.cpp: A hook has been provided in ROA_Factory to + enable the user to use a user-defined demux strategy. + +Wed Apr 30 22:00:51 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: Added two new files that define + different object demultiplexing strategies. + + * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added objtable as additional source file to compile. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the + TAO_Object_Table. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the + TAO_Operation_Table. + + * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: Added support for the -OAtablesize option + in the call to CORBA_ORB::BOA_init method. + + * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support to ROA_Factory to return + a specific object lookup strategy. + + *IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: The ROA constructor initializes its "objtable_" + private data member with the object lookup strategy returned by + ROA factory. + +Tue Apr 29 11:52:48 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/any.hh: Moved CORBA_Any_ptr declaration to orb.hh. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.{hh,cpp}: Renamed BOA to CORBA_BOA. The CORBA_BOA class + maintains a pointer to an abstract TAO_ObjectTable class. Concrete + classes inheriting from TAO_ObjectTable will provide strategies + for lookup. + + Added virtual functions to do dispatch based on object key. In + addition, added a lookup method based on object key that delegates + the task of looking the object to the object table it maintains. + + Changed the signature of typedef CORBA_BOA::dsi_handler to be pointer to + member function of class CORBA_BOA. Eventually, this will point to + the dispatch method of class CORBA_BOA. + + Moved "struct Dispatch_Context" from roa.hh to boa.hh since we + want BOA to be a full fledged OA eventually and not remain an + abstract class as it is now. All other OA's such as ROA inherit + from BOA and only add extra functionality. + + * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: There was a syntax error (missing comma) + in one of the ACE_DEBUG statements which has been fixed. + + * IIOP/lib/corbacom.{hh,cpp}: Added class CORBA_String_var as well + as the CORBA compliant CORBA_string_dup. + + * IIOP/lib/except.hh: Moved CORBA_Exception_ptr declaration to orb.hh. + + * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Added an abstract class + TAO_Operation_Table. CORBA_Object maintains a pointer to this + abstract class. The IDL compiler will eventually generate concrete + classes that employ different lookup strategies for operation name + lookup. + + * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: Added forward declarations to all CORBA_* + classes. In addition, moved all the CORBA_*_ptr declarations here. + + * IIOP/lib/orbobj.{hh,cpp}: Added the CORBA compliant BOA_init + method to class CORBA_ORB. Users can now pass arguments to + BOA_init. Eventually, we want to make this method return any of + the specialized OA's depending on the arguments. Right now, we get + a pointer to the ROA. + + * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i}: Added some more methods and enum + declarations to the ROA_PARAMS singleton. + + * IIOP/lib/principa.hh: Moved the CORBA_Principal_ptr declaration + to orb.hh. + + * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,cpp}: Moved some functionality to boa.hh. ROA + is now only a specialized form of BOA. + + * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Moved the typedef for "skeleton" to orb.hh. + + * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.{hh,cpp}: Had to rename BOA to CORBA_BOA. + + * IIOP/lib/typecode.hh: Moved the CORBA_TypeCode_ptr declaration + to orb.hh. + +Tue Apr 22 23:30:19 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Added log message. + + * IIOP/lib/params.cpp (concurrency_strategy): Uses reactive + strategy when appropriate. + + * IIOP/lib/params.hh: Reactive strategy added. + +Tue Apr 22 21:03:15 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Changed erroneous ACE_GUARD calls to ACE_GUARD_RETURN + calls. + +Tue Apr 22 16:15:52 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Removed more POSIX thread calls. + + * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Changed ForceSynchronousCancellation to + ACE_Synchronous_Cancellation_Required and made it use the ACE_OS + calls. + + * IIOP/lib/{typecode,svrrqst,request,principa,orbobj,nvlist,iiopobj,giop,except,any}.*: + Removed all vestiges of pthread mutexes...they are now + ACE_Thread_Mutexes. This will likely have to change if we want to + compile something completely devoid of threads, but that's another + day. Also, the mutexes have moved from being globals to being + members on the respective classes. No files should be dependent + on thread.hh any longer. + + * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Removed code obsoleted by use of + the Strategy_Acceptor. + + * IIOP/lib/{roa.cpp,connect.cpp},IIOP/tests/svr.cpp: Changes to + use new singletons described below. + + * IIOP/lib/params.*: Changed ROA_Parameters and ROA_Factory to use + ACE_Singleton<>. The singleton types are now named ROA_PARAMS and + ROA_FACTORY. + +Mon Apr 21 23:44:34 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp (ROA): Changed spelling of clientAcceptor_ to + client_acceptor_ to be consistent with ACE style conventions. + +Mon Apr 21 10:52:42 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved call to CORBA_ORB_init() prior to the + parsing of the command line args. This got switched around during + porting to VxWorks. + + * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Changed calls using clientAcceptor_to use APIs + vended by ACE_Strategy_Acceptor. + + * IIOP/lib/roa.hh: Moved default thread flags into ROA_Factory. + + * IIOP/lib/params.*: Added ROA_Factory, a singleton which is the + beginning of an abstract factory dynamically producing runtime + strategies based on information found in ROA_Parameters. + + * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Added call to ROA_Handler's base class + CTOR in initializer list. + + * IIOP/lib/connect.hh: Changed ROA_Handler's CTOR so that it can + take an optional ACE_Thread_Manager* arg. This makes it + compatible with the CTORs for the base class. Also changed base + class for ROA_Acceptor to ACE_Strategy_Acceptor. + + * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Changed references to BOA_ptr from TOA_ptr. + + * IIOP/lib/connect.*: ROA_Handler/ROA_Acceptor moved from roa.* + into here. + + * IIOP/lib/params.*: ROA_Parameters moved from roa.* into here. + + * IIOP/lib/boa.*: What used to be TOA is now BOA, and lives in + here. + + * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Major restructuring required removal of all + classes (see other log entries) from here. This file now houses + only the ROA class. + + * IIOP/lib/{tcpoa.*,toa.*}: Removed because of name changes from + TCP_OA->ROA and TOA->BOA. + +Fri Apr 18 08:09:19 1997 Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com> + + * cdr.hh,corbacom.{hh,cpp},giop.cpp,marshall.cpp,typecode.cpp: + Changes required for WChar missed in earlier committed code. + + * connmgr.cpp: Changes required for select statement. + + * nvlist.cpp: Conditional include for memory.h added. VxWorks + does not have memory.h. + + * object.cpp: Added conditional for VXWORKS to define + IID_IUnknown. + + * orbconf.hh: Minor tuning of the configuration file. + + * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: Added VXWORKS conditional includes. + + * toa.cpp: Added VXWORKS conditional includes. + + +Mon Apr 15 17:01:00 1997 Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com> + + * roa.cpp: Added return statement to ROA_Handler::open(void*) + method. + + * giop.cpp: Modified giop::read_buffer to replace undefined fc + with peer.get_handle(). Modified giop::incoming_message method + parameter list to match function prototype exactly. + + * tcpoa.cpp: Replaced fd instances in debug messages with + peer.get_handle() calls. + +Mon Apr 14 13:45:54 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * roa.{hh,i,cpp},tcpoa.cpp,svr.cpp: Replaced ACE_ROA with + ROA_Parameters, which is a GoF-style singleton. + +Sun Apr 13 00:01:56 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * roa.cpp: Fix continuation condition in ROA_Handler::svc()'s loop + so that it doesn't stop after one iteration. Also added some + debug messages. + + * giop.cpp: Fixed some returns being called with no value. This + should have been caught in the previous round of changes. + +Sat Apr 12 23:10:08 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: TCP_OA::handle_message() now returns a value + indicating how a message was handled. + + * roa.cpp: ROA_Handler::handle_input() now returns a meaningful + value based on what TCP_OA::handle_message() returns. + + * giop.{hh,cpp}: Added end-of-file detection on socket + connections, and that is now propagated all the way back up + through GIOP::incoming_message(). I don't know if I violated + something in the spec by doing this, but it was necessary. I'll + look into it later. + +Thu Apr 10 11:49:44 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * giop.{hh,cpp}: Overloaded all methods dealing with connections + so that there are two, one taking a file descriptor as argument, + the other taking an ACE_SOCK_Stream. Right now, the *_Stream + version simply forwards to the fd-based one. I would have + preferred to get rid of the fd-based methods altogether, but we've + only converted the server runtime; the client is still using the + original sun code, which is effectively fd-based. In the course + of doing this, I also simplified the decls for incoming_message by + creating typedefs for some of the function pointers passed as + args. + + * orbconf.hh: Fixed the stupid auto-endian-ness detector + AGAIN...had my logic reversed! + + * roa.cpp: Adjusted code in accordance with changes to tcpoa.hh. + + * tcpoa.hh: Moved and renamed TCP_OA::dispatch_context to be + ::Dispatch_Context, and changed its endpoint member to be an + ACE_SOCK_Stream. + + * roa.hh: Fixed handle_input() to use the underlying peer() data + member for reading data, rather than using its argument. This is + so that when a different thread handles each connection, + handle_input() can simply be called repeatedly by svc(). + +Wed Apr 9 16:19:21 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu> + + * tcpoa.cpp: Fixed a problem that G++ didn't notice regarding + changing the notion of endpoints in servers from server_endpoint + to an ACE_HANDLE. + +Wed Apr 9 15:43:37 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * svr.cpp: The -p option is gone, and -e takes its place and is + required. This requires the user to specify not only the port + number, but also the IP address of on which the server should + listen for requests. See ACE_INET_Addr documentation for valid + string formats for addresses. Also, the -t option sets the "use + threads" global. + + * orbconf.hh: Hopefully resolved the tension between MS and Unix + platforms in inferring endian-ness of the target platform based on + preprocessor defines. We now check for i386, _M_X86, and vax + (yeah, like we really worry about that, but it's easy to do). + + * roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support for spawning threads to handle + incoming requests. This involves a state flag for whether or not + to use threads, calling activate() in ROA_Handler::open() if that + flag is set, and creating ROA_Handler::svc() that simply loops + calling handle_input(). + +Tue Apr 8 11:14:57 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Moved setting of upcall(), forwarder(), + context(), etc. into here rather than in TCP_OA::TCP_OA(), which + is where I mistakenly stuck them a few days ago (duh!). + + * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp: Removed setting of ACE_ROA::upcall(), which belongs + in the server code. I got confused because the function names + were so similar: tcpoa.cpp contains ::tcp_oa_dispatcher(), and + svr.cpp contains ::tcpoa_dispatch(). + + * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added forwarding function to ACE_ROA global namespace + hack. + + * IIOP/lib/orbconf.hh: Fixed preprocessor checks that auto-detect + endian-ness of this processor. + +Mon Apr 7 21:08:24 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/test/test1_{clnt,svr}.cpp: THESE HAVE NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO + USE ACE EVENT HANDLING!! This round of changes explicitly + instantiates templates where required. + + * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Global function ::OA_listen() no longer + exists; its functionality is now fully contained within ::main(). + If USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING is defined, a Reactor-based event loop + is used. The original intent was to allow conditional compilation + to select btw. the original method and a Reactor-based method. + However, weaving that into the library proved far more difficult + than anticipated, so more than likely not defining + USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING will cause massive grief. + + * IIOP/lib/toa.cpp: Changed call to TCP_OA::init() to reflect new + ACE_INET_Addr argument type. + + * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp (TCP_OA): All initialization methods were + changed, specifically the CTOR and TCP_OA::init, to reflect the + introduction of ACE_INET_Addr. Two side-effects of using + ACE_INET_Addr are that (1) a server can specify the address on + which it wants to listen and (2) best that I can tell, the server + MUST specify the address on which it wants to listen because + otherwise it won't be able to publish a rational IOR. The event + loop is now changed to simply loop on Reactor::handle_events(). + + * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.hh (TCP_OA): Removed vestiges of this component's + use of the original connection management scheme. Where + appropriate, hostnames and ports were replaces by ACE_INET_Addr, + endpoints by ACE_HANDLEs, etc. One particularly nasty thing done + was to declare ROA_Handler as a friend so that handle_message() + can be called from ROA_Handler::handle_input(), which to me + exposes a hole in the original architecture wherein input is + "pulled" rather than waited-for. We might need to re-think how + this is handled within TAO. + + * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: These files contain the required + components to support the new server-side ACE-based + connection/event substrate. The client side remains, as always, + using the connection mgmt scheme used by the original Sun IIOP + code. + + * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added explicit template instantiation for + when this is needed. + + * IIOP/lib/corbacom.hh: Now protects itself from multiple + inclusion. + + * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added roa.* where appropriate. + +Wed Mar 19 10:25:21 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * IIOP/docs/us/codecount/*.count: Added to repository. + + * Makefile: Added to repository. + + * IIOP/objbase.h: Moved to IIOP/compat. + + * IIOP/initguid.h: Moved to IIOP/compat. + +Thu Mar 13 14:06:28 1997 Chris Cleeland <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu> + + * ChangeLog: Added the ChangeLog. |
