This is a very simple +test for TAO, it can be argued that it is in fact too simple to do +anything useful, i.e. chances are that this test will always pass. + + The goals of writing this test are: + +- Provide a very simple, very fast 'smoke test' for ORB developers. + If Hello does not pass then something is extremely broken and you + should go back to the drawing board. +- Provide a code base to write more complex tests +- Rule out basic infrastructure problems: if this test does not work + for a user then the infrastructure (network, DNS, host + configuration) are more likely to be at fault than the ORB. +- External users are often asked to send us a 'simple test' for their + use case, we can now point them to this test to explain what do we + mean by "simple". +- The -GA option has been added to the IDL compiler command line. + This option generates type code and Any insertion/extraction + operator implementations in a separate file with the extension *A.cpp. + This file is not included in the compilation however, to make sure + there is no dependency on it if the client and server do not use + type codes or Anys. + + Please refrain from "improving", extending or expanding this +test, if you need to change + + To run the test use the run_test.pl script: + +$ ./run_test.pl + + the script returns 0 if the test was successful. + +*/ |
