Please use the PRF form below to submit bug reports, problem reports, etc., to the ACE developers and interested users. Post it as issue or discussion at https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO. If you are using OCI, MicroFocus, or Riverace's versions of ACE do not use github, but instead contact those companies for support. Please paste your PRF as text, _not_ as an attachment. We prefer that all bug reports be submitted through github issues. See https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO/issues for more information about how to do this. Not using this problem report form will make it harder or impossible to identify the problem, and in many cases we will be unable to help at all. Also please try to browse the existing github issues and the ChangeLog files to find out if your problem has been solved in a more recent version of ACE. PLEASE make your Title: line as descriptive as possible. Titles like "ACE bug" or "bug report" are not helpful! Also, do _not_ include the word "help" in the Title! When including your config.h and platform_macros.GNU files as requested below, only include the contents if you use the recommended method of including the platform-specific file in your file. If you use a link to the platform-specific file, simply state which one - DO NOT include an entire platform-specific configuration file in the form. 8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<---- ACE VERSION: 7.0.8 HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM: If on Windows based OS's, which version of WINSOCK do you use?: TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST: COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL): THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE [if you use a link to a platform- specific file, simply state which one]: THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE [if you use a link to a platform-specific file, simply state which one (unless this isn't used in this case, e.g., with Microsoft Visual C++)]: CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features (used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles): AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: [What example failed?
