There is -no execution check in this test, the only outcome of interest being -the build. The examples in the IDL files come from many sources - some -are made from scratch, some are adapted from other tests, and some are -adapted from examples sent in by ACE and/or TAO users. To all of these -last, many thanks for your help in digging out these bugs! - -Each IDL file contains examples that are related, either by the IDL -type involved or by the context in which the error occurs. As new bugs -are uncovered and fixed, new examples will be added to the suite, to -ensure that the bugs do not recur. - -The -GA option has been added to the IDL compiler command line. This -option generates the implementations of type codes and Any -insertion/extraction operators in a separate file with the -extension *A.cpp. These files have been added to the build, to make -sure that the option functions correctly for all the IDL types -found in this test. If the client or server does not use type codes -or Anys, these files may be left out of the compilation. This -feature is tested in TAO_ROOT/tests/Hello. - -The IDL compiler command line options -GC -GH and -Gd have also been added. -They switch on generation, respectively, of extra code for Asynchronous -Method Invocation (AMI), Asynchronous Method Handling (AMH) and direct -collocation of invocations (bypassing the POA and using a simple C++ -method call). By adding these options we can test for correct code -generation for every IDL interface found in this test. - -To build the test files, type 'make' at the command line. The TAO IDL -compiler will open each IDL file in the directory and generate code -that will then be compiled by the C++ compiler on your platform. - -To run the test, type 'main' at the command line. The generation of -correct IOR prefixes in pragma.idl is checked in the body of main(). -The rest of the .idl files need only to build cleanly. To test the -client/server functionality of the various IDL types and operations, -see the test suite in ACE_wrappers/TAO/tests/Param_Test. - |
