Wed Aug 25 16:15:07 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-subsets.html: removed spurious LOGGING_FILES text. Wed Aug 25 15:55:05 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.*,Signal.i (default_mask): moved the default_mask () static method from ACE_Object_Manager to ACE_OS_Object_Manager, so that it can be used by Log_Msg.cpp without layer inversion. (Left a deprecated, inline ACE_Object_Manager::default_mask (), for backward compatibility.) default_mask () now returns a sigset_t * instead of an ACE_Sig_Set *, again to avoid layer inversion. * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): replaced use of ACE_Sig_Guard with a bare-bones ACE_Log_Msg_Sig_Guard. [Bug 262] Wed Aug 25 14:53:58 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * bin/run_all.pl: * bin/auto_compile: The script did not start with the canonical trick to run perl from [t]csh, [ba]sh or perl itself. Wed Aug 25 14:45:06 1999 Ossama Othman * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Explicitly include "ace/Signal.h" to make declaration of ACE_Sig_Set class visible. return statement at end of multiple_children_sig_handler() function is never reached. It was commented out to prevent compiler warnings. Wed Aug 25 13:34:07 1999 Narendra Ravi * ACE-INSTALL.html: added information about -j GNU make option. Wed Aug 25 12:26:49 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.h: On Borland C++ (and other platforms) we should use std::bad_alloc instead of bad_alloc for the ACE_bad_alloc exception. We use the ACE_USES_STD_NAMESPACE_FOR_STDCPP_LIB macro to detect this. Thanks to Jody Hagins for this fix. * tests/run_tests.lst: Disabled the Token test, it is more trouble that it is worth. It hangs and tends to freeze the complete testsuite. Wed Aug 25 12:09:32 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * Makefile: Include (conditionally) the $TAO_ROOT/tao/tao_targets.GNU file, that defines the targets required to compile just TAO. Tue Aug 24 21:47:44 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Synch_Options.{h,cpp} (timeout): added const to ACE_Time_Value & argument, because it's not modified. Thanks to John Lindal for suggesting this. Tue Aug 24 10:02:51 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Fixed a number of warnings caused by unused args and signed/unsigned mismatches. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. * ace/Service_Repository.h, ace/Service_Config.h, ace/OS.h: Changed the default number of entries in the ACE_Service_Repository from ACE_DEFAULT_SELECT_REACTOR_SIZE to ACE_DEFAULT_SERVICE_REPOSITORY_SIZE, which defaults to 1024. Thanks to Ivan Murthy for suggesting this. Tue Aug 24 16:23:07 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * bin/make_release: Use an explicit temporary file to create the ChangeLog, i had some problems with the previous scheme, but it could be my shell. When tagging TAO we have to change directories. Tue Aug 24 12:19:29 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/Makefile: Updated dependencies * performance-tests/TCP/tcp_test.cpp: Fixed argument parsing. Tue Aug 24 10:37:02 1999 David L. Levine * bin/cvslog (find_changelogs): one more time: append /$file to `pwd`, so that we can find ChangeLogs in child directories. Always call basename (), again. Tue Aug 24 09:10:58 1999 David L. Levine * bin/cvslog (find_changelogs): don't call basename () immediately after calling `pwd`, so that ChangeLogs in current directory will be found. Tue Aug 24 07:11:52 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.*,Object_Manager.{h,cpp},README: with ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT, use ACE_OS_Object_Manager::at_exit () to emulate atexit (). [Bug 246] * tests/Object_Manager_Test.cpp,tests/Makefile, tests/run_pharlap_tests.bat,tests/run_tests.bat, tests/run_tests.lst,tests/run_tests.psosim, tests/run_tests.vxworks,tests/t.icc,tests/icc.bat: added Object_Manager_Test. Mon Aug 23 22:03:24 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: When compiling both shared and static libraries only one of them was installed. Thanks to Paul Calabrese for providing this fix. Mon Aug 23 21:41:43 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/run_tests.pl: We search for "Starting" instead of "starting" because that's what the tests print out now. Mon Aug 23 21:20:28 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: Added new guidelines relevant to ACE+TAO. Mon Aug 23 16:57:13 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * performance-tests/RPC/README: * performance-tests/RPC/client.cpp: Changed the options to make it more consistent with other tests like this one. Added a README file Mon Aug 23 16:53:00 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * performance-tests/Makefile: * performance-tests/TCP/README: Added a README file for the test * performance-tests/TCP/tcp_test.cpp: Added options to pace the events and to control the message size on the server side. * performance-tests/RPC/Makefile: * performance-tests/RPC/client.cpp: * performance-tests/RPC/ping.x: * performance-tests/RPC/server.c: Added a simple RPC test to compare sockets (ACE), RPC and TAO. Mon Aug 23 13:30:32 1999 Nanbor Wang * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_kcc.GNU: The optimization flag for KCC should be +K3, not -K2. Mon Aug 23 10:56:40 1999 David L. Levine * bin/cvslog: added this wrapper around cvs log. It expands ChangeLogTags to their ChangeLog entries. Thanks to Luther for helping greatly with it. Mon Aug 23 08:46:37 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: replaced the use of ACE_Unbounded_Queue with a new ACE_Cleanup_Info_Node private helper class. The reduces the size of libACE by over 4 Kb, and is the first step towards moving the Object_Manager's atexit () support to OS. [Bug 246] Mon Aug 23 07:28:02 1999 David L. Levine * tests/run_tests.check: changed "starting" to "Starting", to match a recent change to test_config.h. * tests/test_config.h: changed one remaining "starting" to "Starting", to be consistent. Mon Aug 23 07:08:17 1999 David L. Levine * tests/run_tests.lst: disabled Process_Manager_Test, because it never terminates when built with egcs on both Solaris 7 and Linux. Sun Aug 22 21:15:13 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: with Green Hills for x86 target, use $(MAKE) instead of make to build .obj/gethrtime.o. Thanks to Cliff_H_Campbell for reporting this. Sun Aug 22 21:02:26 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT. Sun Aug 22 21:01:18 1999 David L. Levine * ace/README: added ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT. Sun Aug 22 14:51:56 1999 Vishal Kachroo * ace/OS.i (join_leaf): Constructed a winsock2 QOS structure within ACE_OS::join_leaf () from the corresponding ACE QOS classes. Passed this QOS structure to WSAJoinLeaf (). Sun Aug 22 12:18:42 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Process.i (wait): Fixed a typo. * ace/Process.cpp (ACE_Process): Removed an extra underscore. * ace/OS.i (getppid): Removed undefined variable . Sat Aug 21 12:36:40 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.h: Moved the ACE_OS::set_exit_hook() static method into the OS.i file so be more consistent with the other ACE_OS methods. Also, changed the signature of extern "C" void ACE_OS_Object_Manager_Internal_Exit_Hook () to void ACE_OS_Object_Manager_Internal_Exit_Hook (void) so that this will match the type declaration for ACE_EXIT_HOOK. * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: Use the new ACE_OS::wait() method, which is portable to Win32, rather than ACE_OS::waitpid(). * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Completed the first major enhancement to the test that exercises the new ACE_Process_Manager features. This test builds and runs cleanly on Solaris using CC and should run on other versions of UNIX that support threads and processes. It would be great if someone could improve it to run on Win32, as well. * ace/Process_Manager: Added support for the spawn_n() method, which creates N new processes. * tests: Cleaned up the use of ACE_INIT_LOG/ACE_APPEND_LOG in Process_Manager_Test.cpp and Malloc_Test.cpp so we don't lose information. Both these tests now write their child processes' output to "-child.log". * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Added a default value of 0 to the exit() method since this is a common return status. * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_LACKS_GETPPID. * ace: Added a new wrapper for getppid(). For platforms that don't support this system call, please add ACE_LACKS_GETPPID. * tests: Moved the $ACE_ROOT/examples/Threads/process_manager.cpp example into the $ACE_ROOT/tests directory, renamed it to Process_Manager_Test.cpp, and revised the test to illustrate the new ACE_Process_Manager features. * tests/run_tests.lst: Added the Process_Manager_Test to the list of tests to run. * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp (main): Added some necessary ASYS_TEXT macros. * ace/Process.i: Rather than replicate the #ifdef logic in ACE_OS::kill() within ACE_Process:kill(), we just forward to ACE_OS::kill() and let it sort this out! * ace/Process: Moved several of the short wait() methods from the *.cpp file to the *.i file and inlined them. * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: The logic for the implementation of terminate() was incorrect, i.e., the process table entry should be removed *if* ACE::terminate_process() succeeds but *not* if it fails! * ace/OS.h: Added a new method called wait() that works portably on Win32 and UNIX/POSIX platforms. * ace/Process: Added an optional "options" parameter to the former "blocking" wait() method on ACE_Process. This allows clients to use the WNOHANG option to avoid blocking if the child process hasn't exited yet. Also changed the type of the return value to pid_t rather than int. Finally, added an optional status pointer to the "timed" wait() method (which only works on Win32). * ace/OS.h: On platforms that do not define WNOHANG natively, changed #ifdef of WNOHANG to 0100 (which can be used in bitmask comparisons) rather than Douglas Adams favorite constant: 42. Sat Aug 21 14:13:46 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ACE version 5.0.2 released. Sat Aug 21 11:52:51 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * Makefile: Fixed small problem in the releaseall target. * bin/make_release: The shell did not like the embedded script to print the ChangeLog entry. Fri Aug 20 15:40:58 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Process_Manager: Added a new method called wait() that's just syntactic sugar for ACE_Process_Manager::reap(). Thanks to Dave Madden for suggesting this. * ace/OS: Added support for ACE_OS::atexit(), which necessitated changing the extern "C" signature for ACE_EXIT_HOOK to typedef void (*ACE_EXIT_HOOK) (void) so that this will be consistent with the signature expected by the ISO/ANSI C atexit() call. At the moment, ACE_OS::atexit just calls ::atexit() (unless a platform's config.h file #defines ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT). Ultimately, we might want to have this hook into the ACE_OS_Object_Manager's at_exit() support, which may be more portable and reliable. * ace/ACE_Process_Manager.h: Made the destructor virtual so it's possible to subclass from this class. * ace/Process_Manager.h: Updated the comments on the wait() method to indicate that a signal handler must be used to keep track of the number of remaining child processes. Thanks to Dave Binder for motivating this. Thu Aug 19 18:45:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/Auto_Ptr.h: modified ACE_AUTO_PTR_RESET macro, to pass the type of the pointer. This is needed for the case where ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET is defined, in order to explicitly convert the pointer into an auto_ptr for assignment. Thu Aug 19 17:26:50 1999 John Heitmann * docs/ACE-SSL.html: Cleaned up the auto generated errors. Thu Aug 19 16:47:21 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added a reference to $ACE_ROOT/docs/ACE-SLL.html. * docs: Added a new ACE-SSL.html file that explains how to participate in the ACE SSL project. Thanks to John Heitmann for adding this. Thu Aug 19 15:31:58 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h (ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE): Removed the redundant trailing * for the defintion when ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY is defined. Thu Aug 19 14:16:37 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/rules.nested.GNU: added ACE_NESTED_COMMAND hook. Users can set it to whatever they like (preferably in include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU). One example is to set it to: ACE_NESTED_COMMAND := || break $? to terminate building if a build in one subdirectory fails. Thanks to Lothar Werzinger for suggesting this addition. Thu Aug 19 13:06:00 1999 Michael Kircher * ace/Read_Buffer.cpp: Fixed a bug in rec_read () method which prohibited reading more than 1024 bytes at once. Thu Aug 19 13:03:07 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/ACE.h (ACE): Fixed a "cut & paste" error in the comment -- basename should have been dirname. Thanks to Mark Hyett for reporting this. * ace/ACE.cpp: Fixed a bug in ACE::dirname() that was causing problems if the pathname didn't have a delim character. Thanks to Russ Noseworthy for reporting this and providing a fix. Thu Aug 19 12:59:56 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Message_Block.i: Moved ACE_Message_Block::replace_data_block() down in the file because it was using inline functions that were defined after it was. Thanks to David for pointing this out. Thu Aug 19 10:53:50 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.i (setuid): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (uid) for VxWorks, pSOS, WIN32, and Chorus. Thanks to Garry Brother for reporting this. Thu Aug 19 10:04:12 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: added trap to cause builds to fail if the exceptions flag is enabled. The VxWorks libraries don't support exceptions. And, exceptions give the (Tornado II) compiler fits, e.g., with ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/IORManipulation.cpp. Thanks to Erik Johannes for this nifty preemptive solution, and to Nick Sawadsky for motivating its implementation. Thu Aug 19 09:34:41 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/WFMO_Reactor.h, * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp, * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h, * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp, * ace/Reactor_Impl.h, * ace/Reactor.h, * ace/Reactor.cpp: Added a pair of restart() methods that can be used to set/get the restart_ flag, which controls whether the handle_events() event loop is restarted automatically when select() is interrpted. Thanks to Erik Koerber for suggesting this. * ace/Service_Config: Updated the failure result comment for open() and cleaned up the return value and errno propagation for open_i() when process_commandline_directives() fails. Thanks to Jerry D. De Master for reporting the bug and suggesting a fix. * ace/Service_Config.h: Moved the process_directives() method used to parse the svc.conf files out of the protected part of the class to the public part so that application programmers can call this directly to reconfigure services from the svc.conf files. Thanks to John Mink for suggesting this. Wed Aug 18 22:45:24 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/WFMO_Reactor.h, * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp, * ace/XtReactor.h, * ace/XtReactor.cpp, * ace/TkReactor.h, * ace/TkReactor.cpp, * ace/FlReactor.h, * ace/FlReactor.cpp, * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h, * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp, * ace/Reactor_Impl.h, * ace/Reactor.h, * ace/Reactor.cpp: * ace/Timer_Hash_T.h: * ace/Timer_Heap_T.h: * ace/Timer_List_T.h: * ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.h: * ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp: Changed all uses of const long to long... Wed Aug 18 22:15:58 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/run_tests.sh: It was running the DISABLED tests, thanks to David for pointing this out. Wed Aug 18 21:48:52 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: added Toshio Hori suggestions (in a new section) on building just what's needed for TAO, and his tips for reducing disk space usage on Unix platforms. Wed Aug 18 21:32:56 1999 Ossama Othman * docs/usage-bugzilla.html: Added a simple document explaining basic usage of our installation of bugzilla. * ACE-INSTALL.html: * PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM: Updated with information about the bugzilla usage documentation. Wed Aug 18 20:28:23 1999 David L. Levine * bin/check_build_logs: check for just Stop, not [Ss]top, to avoid snagging top output. Gnu make says "Stop" when it can't find a dependency. Wed Aug 18 19:08:08 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp},Log_Msg.cpp: moved ACE_LOG_MSG_INSTANCE_LOCK from ACE_Object_Manager to ACE_OS_Object_Manager, so that Log_Msg.cpp needn't to depend on Object_Manager for it. Wed Aug 18 18:20:11 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/SOCK_Send_Recv_Test.cpp: Fixed typo. Wed Aug 18 17:58:06 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * THANKS: * ace/README: * ace/config-irix6.x-common.h: Added new macro (ACE_HAS_BROKEN_DGRAM_SENDV) to handle platforms where using sendmsg with exactly IOV_MAX elements in the iovec fails (normally the number of elements can be up to and including IOV_MAX). Thanks to Tobin Bergen-Hill for tracking this down. Wed Aug 18 16:08:46 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/SOCK_Send_Recv_Test.cpp: Reformatted this test so that it conforms to ACE programming guidelines. Wed Aug 18 13:49:30 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: if ACE_COMPONENTS = FOR_TAO, don't include Filecache in UTILS_FILES. TAO doesn't need Filecache. And, its ACE_Hash and ACE_Equal_To explicit template instantiations collide with those in ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/POA.cpp. That precludes building a shared libTAO for VxWorks, for example. And, it costs 14 Kb. Thanks to Erik Johannes for helping to find this solution. And reminding me to implement it :-) Wed Aug 18 13:16:09 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: clarify that PERL_PATH must include the full path, including the perl.exe filename. Thanks to Walter Welzel for reporting this. Wed Aug 18 13:11:30 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.h: * ace/OS.i: The new methods to manipulate condition variable attributes were not compiling on single threaded platforms. Wed Aug 18 13:09:36 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Makefile: don't add libDLL_Test.$(SOEXT) to BUILD on VxWorks. Thanks to Walter Welzel for reporting that it did get build for VxWorks with shared libs enabled, but not successfully (or usefully). Wed Aug 18 10:36:16 1999 Nanbor Wang * ACE-INSTALL.html: Updated all references to MSVC 4.x. We no longer support the compiler. Thanks to Welzel Walter for pointing this out. Wed Aug 18 10:42:13 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp (reset_interval): Added a constcast to make SunC++ 4.2 happy. Thanks to Andy for reporting this. * ace/WFMO_Reactor.i (reset_timer_interval): The return type was incorrect... Thanks to Andy and Jeff for reporting this. Wed Aug 18 09:47:51 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/run_tests.pl: The disabled tests were executed anyway, thanks to David for pointing this out. Wed Aug 18 09:34:46 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/FlReactor.cpp: * ace/XtReactor.cpp: Fixed typos in the code, this is only used in a few platforms, that's why it didn't show up before. Tue Aug 17 20:02:55 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp: Enhanced this test to exercise the new reset_timer_interval() feature that Darrell added. It appears to work quite well. Also, make the test easier to understand by adding more structure. * ace/WFMO_Reactor.h, * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp, * ace/XtReactor.h, * ace/XtReactor.cpp, * ace/TkReactor.h, * ace/TkReactor.cpp, * ace/FlReactor.h, * ace/FlReactor.cpp, * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h, * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp, * ace/Reactor_Impl.h, * ace/Reactor.h, * ace/Reactor.cpp: Exposed the new reset_interval() method Darrell added to all the Timer mechanisms via a method in each of these Reactor's called reset_timer_interval(). * ace/Timer_Hash_T.h: * ace/Timer_Heap_T.h: * ace/Timer_List_T.h: * ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.h: * ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp: Changed the return values of to be (1) consistent (i.e., to return a value through all paths in the method) and (2) to return -1 on failure and 0 on success. Also replaced a number of C-style casts with ACE_reinterpret_casts. Tue Aug 17 20:51:35 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/TP_Reactor.h: * ace/TP_Reactor.cpp: The TP Reactor also experiences a performance hit if signal masking is enabled. Therefore, we can now make this optional. Tue Aug 17 19:10:00 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/OS.cpp: Fixed typo. * ace/Stats.cpp: Removed some warnings showing up in MSVC when assigning ACE_UINT64 values to ACE_UINT32 variables. Used ACE_U64_TO_U32 to remove these warnings. * ace/Timer_Hash_T.h: * ace/Timer_Heap_T.h: * ace/Timer_List_T.h: * ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.h: * ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp: * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp: Added a new method, which can be used to change the interval of a timer represented by a timer_id. Tue Aug 17 18:43:53 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/OS.h: * ace/OS.i: Added wscmp and wsncmp functions to go with the existing wslen and wscpy functions. These all use WChar*, so arg size is independent of platform. These are to be used for all manipulations of CORBA::WString. The two that were added were needed for wstring tests in Param_Test. WChar* versions of the other string manipulation functions will be added as needed. Tue Aug 17 17:49:33 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: If (_LARGEFILE_SOURCE) || (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64) are enabled then #undef ACE_HAS_PROC_FS and ACE_HAS_PRUSAGE_T to work around problems with Solaris 7. Thanks to Sridhara Rao Dasu for reporting this. * ace/OS.i: Updated the readdir_r() conditional compilation so that it'll work when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64. Thanks to Sridhara Rao Dasu for reporting this. Tue Aug 17 17:17:13 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.h: * ace/OS.i: * ace/OS.cpp: Added new data type to handle condition variable attributes (ACE_condattr_t). New methods to manipulate that data type (ACE_OS::cond_attr_init and destroy) Add new method to create a condition variable from a pre-initialized attribute. * ace/Synch.h: * ace/Synch.i: * ace/Synch.cpp: Added new wrapper for the ACE_condattr_t structure. * ace/Token.h: * ace/Token.cpp: Use ACE_Condition_Attributes to minimize the number of memory allocations and locks in the critical path of the TP_Reactor. Tue Aug 17 15:55:17 1999 Nanbor Wang * performance-tests/TCP/TCP.{dsw,dsp}: * performance-tests/TCP/Makefile: * performance-tests/TCP/tcp_test.cpp: Added the new test modified by Carlos and a bit further by me. The test measures TCP performance of a platform. We can also use it to test the performance of various reactors. Tue Aug 17 14:52:40 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/config-win32.h: Added ACE_CC_COMPILER definition for MSVC. ACE_CC_COMPILER is a string containing the compiler program. Tue Aug 17 13:48:27 CDT 1999 Loren Rittle * bin/update-ace+tao.sh: Use authoritative name list instead of ad hoc list to update file. Tue Aug 17 06:33:05 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Task.h: Clarified the comment regarding open() and close() on ACE_Task_Base. Thanks to Jeff Franks for suggesting this. Tue Aug 17 11:56:33 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h: * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp: Added option in the constructor to disable the signal handling features in the select reactor. This eliminates a couple of kernel level locks that are not needed in all applications. * ace/Stats.h: * ace/Stats.cpp: Now we keep track of the iteration where the minimum and maximum latencies were achieved. Tue Aug 17 06:33:05 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * bin: Added a new shell script called update-ace+tao.sh that updates the ACE/TAO source tree to the latest numeric-assigned version. Thanks to Loren Rittle for contributing this. Mon Aug 16 20:09:12 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR_Stream.h: * ace/CDR_Stream.i: * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Added new method to transfer the contents of one CDR stream into another. This is used in the implementation of the ORB to minimize the number of data copies, memory allocations and locks. * ace/Message_Block.h: * ace/Message_Block.i: Added new method to replace the Data_Block, this method returns the old one, letting the user decide how to deallocated the Data block, possibly transfering it to another Message_Block. Mon Aug 16 15:58:12 1999 Steve Huston * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: Added support for using "compat=4" mode for Sun CC 5. To use this, do "make compat4=1", or equivalent. Compat 4 uses -compat=4 with its old iostreams, but the newer Sun CC 5 scheme of explicit template instantiation. Mon Aug 16 11:59:18 1999 Vishal Kachroo * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): Constructed and passed a complete sockaddr_in to the ACE_OS::join_leaf () call. This was just being passed sockaddr_in.sin_addr.s_addr. Sat Aug 14 18:01:27 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/run_tests.pl: Fixed some output messages that were going to stdout. Sat Aug 14 15:20:27 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): It looks like there was a bug where we were passing an s_addr to ACE_OS::join_leaf() rather than a sockaddr *. Fixing this also cleaned up some code that was #ifdef'd for UNICOS. Thanks to Vishal for reporting this. * ace/Process.h: Added a virtual to ~ACE_Process so that it can be used for subclassing more readily. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for suggesting this. Sat Aug 14 14:11:25 1999 Everett Anderson * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp (tryacquire): Fixed so that it uses ACE_Token_Request::TRY_ACQUIRE instead of RELEASE. Fri Aug 13 18:55:51 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Handle_Set.h (ACE_Handle_Set): Clarified the meaning of the nbits_ array. Thanks to Hao Ruan for motivating this. Fri Aug 13 21:18:40 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.i (llseek): on Linux, moved extern "C" llseek () declaration out of the function. Thanks to Tal Lev-Ami for this fix. Fri Aug 13 20:50:02 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (handle_events): Added a deactivation check for non-threaded case. The original check was mixed with thread owner check and thus got disabled under single-threaded configurations. Thanks to Kirthika for reporting the problem. Fri Aug 13 13:11:16 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release: moved ACE_wrappers/TAO addition to $release_files so that it's only done for the ACE+TAO kit. Fri Aug 13 12:44:08 1999 David L. Levine * Makefile,bin/make_release: added support (and documentation) for creating kits with or without new tags, or using an old tag; generated man pages; installation to the public ftp/http site on ace; and zip files. Fri Aug 13 07:58:12 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,i},README,config-osf1-4.0.h (llseek): added ACE_HAS_LLSEEK support. Thanks to Tal Lev-Ami for providing this. Thu Aug 12 22:05:37 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.i (sema_wait, rw_tryrdlock, rw_trywrlock): Replaced more ad hoc uses of the int error = 0; ... error = errno; ... errno = error; idiom with the ACE_Errno_Guard. * ace/Synch.h: Updated the comment to remind folks who would like to have a working ACE_Process_Condition to contact us if they know how to do this. Thanks to Craig Anderson for motivating this. * tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp (open): Clarified the behavior of the code that's run when fork() is used. Thanks to Umar Syyid for motivating this. Thu Aug 12 21:30:09 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: added SIMNT support. Thu Aug 12 20:54:40 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD for cxx and Rational compilers. [Bug 163] Thu Aug 12 20:47:13 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp: Made the and variables global instead of static, because otherwise Sun/CC automatic template instantiation cannot find them at link time. The variables are used in template code that is defined and used in the same file, but Sun/CC does not seem to understand that. Thu Aug 12 17:14:35 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/OS.h: Changed typedef of WChar to ACE_UINT16. The CDR operations are already using write_2, read_2 and SHORT_SIZE, and in the process of implementing wchars and wstrings in IDL, it's going to be important to optimize for the Unicode common case. Thu Aug 12 16:24:16 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release: chdir up a level before removing the staging directory. Thanks to Carlos for pointing out that it's necessary, because we had chdir'd into it. And for noticing that $build_commands got clobbered in create_kit (). Obey $generate_man_pages setting. Thu Aug 12 16:03:03 1999 David L. Levine * ACE version 5.0.1 released. Thu Aug 12 15:49:00 1999 David L. Levine * Makefile,bin/make_release: build kits in /tmp staging area, and copy to ace's ftp pub/ACE directory. Thu Aug 12 11:36:46 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.h: * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp: * ace/Future.cpp: Some platforms require arguments in the exception thrown from operator new. The standard (std::bad_alloc) does not require any. Added a new macro (ACE_throw_bad_alloc) that takes care of these differences, including platforms that don't throw exceptions but return something. Wed Aug 11 17:00:00 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp: Removed run_event_loop and end_event_loop and put in handle_events with a flag to stop the loop. This is a bug fix for Bug183. Wed Aug 11 15:49:37 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: cleaned up ACE doc tool discussion. Added Carlos' inlining heuristics. Wed Aug 11 13:53:20 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-win32.h,config-win32-borland.h: added ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD. Thanks to Jody for this request. Wed Aug 11 13:15:26 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-g++-common.h,config-win32.h,config-win32-borland.h: added ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_KEYWORD (for egcs only, in config-g++-common.h). Thanks to Jody Hagins for this update. * ace/config-g++-common.h: added ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD. Wed Aug 11 13:10:32 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h,README: added ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD support. Thanks to Jody Hagins for providing it. Wed Aug 11 12:55:23 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp: * ace/Future.cpp: The throw expressions require a constructor, not just the type, thanks to David for pointing this out. Wed Aug 11 10:12:11 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h,Auto_Ptr.h,SString.h,README: added support for ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_KEYWORD. Thanks to Jody Hagins for suggesting this. Wed Aug 11 10:07:36 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Future.cpp: * ace/Local_Tokens.cpp: * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: * ace/Log_Record.cpp: * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp: * netsvcs/lib/Token_Handler.cpp: Fixed several warnings and errors with gcc-2.95 * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Add -fcheck-new to the command-line of g++ when compiling with exceptions disabled. In that case new operators could return 0 and without this option the constructor will surely be invoked on invalid data. * bin/auto_compile: Use LOGNAME instead of USER to get the username because it is more portable. Tue Aug 10 23:47:32 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ace/Cached_Connect_Strategy_T.h: * ace/Caching_Utility_T.h: * ace/Caching_Strategies_T.h: * ace/Cleanup_Strategies_T.h: * ace/Cache_Map_Manager_T.h: * ace/Hash_Cache_Map_Manager_T.h: Defined macros to shorten lengthy class names for linkers which couldnt grok long names (example: Sun Linker). Thanks to Dr.Schmidt for this cool idea. Tue Aug 10 19:07:32 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/run_tests.sh: * tests/run_tests.pl: * tests/run_tests.lst: Move the list of tests to a separate file. This file is used to drive both a perl version of the script and the old shell version. The new perl version is able to terminate programs that hang, but still has problem with processes that fork children who then hang for some reason. The perl script has to be ported to Win32 too. * bin/run_all_list.pm: Use the new tests/run_tests.pl script on Unix. * bin/run_all.pl: Run all the test scripts in ACE and TAO, much like run_all_win32 but for unix systems. * bin/auto_compile: Remember to remove the disable file in case of errors. Tue Aug 10 18:08:30 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.h: * ace/CDR_STream.i: Added all the necessary stuff for wstrings. Tue Aug 10 15:36:02 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp (main): removed unused argc declaration, with ACE_LACKS_FORK && ! ACE_HAS_WIN32. Tue Aug 10 15:26:43 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (strptime): removed unreachable break after return statement, in default case of switch statement. Tue Aug 10 14:46:12 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},README: Changed support for ACE_OS::strptime () to be configurable. VxWorks, LynxOS, and Chorus, for example, don't have a native ::strptime (). The current emulation cost 2 Kb, which will be objectionable to some embedded systems developers. Replaced ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME with a combination ACE_HAS_STRPTIME/ACE_LACKS_NATIVE_STRPTIME. ACE_HAS_STRPTIME enables ACE_OS::strptime () support. ACE_LACKS_NATIVE_STRPTIME lets ACE know that there's no native ::strptime (), so it then uses its emulation. This has two advantages: it minimizes footprint in the default case, and doesn't break builds on platforms that don't have ::strptime (). It easily allows developers to configure ACE identically, with respect to strptime, on their Unix, NT, and embedded platforms. [Bug 219] * ace/config-sunos5.5.h,config-linux-common.h,config-osf1-4.0.h, config-irix6.x-common.h: added #define ACE_HAS_STRPTIME. [Bug 219] Tue Aug 10 12:28:54 1999 Jeff Parsons * bin/run_all_list.pm: Added IDL test to the list. Mon Aug 09 16:49:45 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Process.{h,cpp} (wait): Re-visited the implementation so it behaves the same on both UNIX and Win32. Thanks to Doug for suggesting this. Mon Aug 09 16:30:24 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added note to follow the ACE documentation tools guidelines and restrictions. Thanks to Doug for pointing this out. Mon Aug 09 16:06:01 1999 Nanbor Wang * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Applied smart eg++ recognizer. Thanks to Craig Anderson for providing the patch. Mon Aug 9 11:29:36 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * bin: Fixed html-windex so that it works when class names contain the digit '3' in them, e.g., ACE_WIN32_Asynch_Accept, etc. Thanks to Jody Hagins for reporting this problem. Mon Aug 09 15:10:27 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Process.h (wait): Rewrote comments. * ace/Service_Config.h (open): Revised the comments for several service_config flags. Thanks to Doug for pointing this out. Mon Aug 9 11:29:36 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * examples/Reactor/Misc/test_demuxing.cpp: Added a destructor to ~STDIN_Handler that will remove the event handler for STDIN and the registered timer. Mon Aug 9 10:45:24 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (handle_signal): When working with an MMAP memory pool, a "real" segmentation fault (not related to updating the memory mapping) will cause the process to fail but not write a core file. This is because that on linux (and possibly other flavours of UNIX) core file writing is a default behaviour which is disabled once you register a signal handler. Even if the signal handler returns a bad return value which crashes the program, a core file will not be written. The fix for this is to modify the mmap() signal handler so that it de-registers the signal handler when detecting a segfault with the mapping up to date and return an "ok" answer. the program will attempt to access the illegal address again and dump core. Thanks to Joseph Weihs for contributing this fix. * ace/Signal: Changed the new handle_i() and register_handler_i() methods to be static member functions so they can be called from the static dispatch() member function. Thanks to Andreas Geisler for reporting this. Mon Aug 9 10:33:50 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * examples/ASX/CCM_App/SC_Server.cpp: Make sure to enable the appropriate parameter for ACE_Service_Config::open() so that static services will be enabled. Thanks to Michael Roth for reporting this. Mon Aug 09 10:21:37 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU (INCLDIRS): removed "-I.". It's not necessary, because the preprocessor will first look for headers in the current directory, when appropriate. It causes trouble, for example, on NT for VxWorks with Green Hills. Instead of including the system's Signal.h, ACE's signal.h gets #included with "-I.". Thanks to Dale Wood for helping to track this down. [Bug 35] * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: no longer need to override INCLDIRS, now that it doesn't contain "-I.". [Bug 35] Mon Aug 09 10:09:57 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h,streams.h: moved ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE #define from streams.h to OS.h, so that it is seen with ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY. And, provide default value for ACE_DEFAULT_LOG_STREAM. [Bug 208] * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: changed a couple remaining ostream occurrences to ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE. Replaced conditional use of ACE_DEFAULT_LOG_STREAM/&cerr with ACE_DEFAULT_LOG_STREAM, now that it's always defined. [Bug 208] Mon Aug 09 09:47:06 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp}: replaced the ACE_Log_Msg_key_created_ and ACE_Log_Msg_key_ file static variables with static class members ACE_Log_Msg::key_created_ and ACE_Log_Msg::log_msg_tss_key_, respectively. Only declare ACE_Log_Msg::log_msg_tss_key_ if the platform supports TSS (native or emulated). Replaced the ACE_Log_Msg_message_queue file static variable with ACE_Log_Msg_Manager::message_queue_. Cleaned up Log_Msg.cpp. [Bug 86] Thanks to Umar Syyid for suggesting that we remove the file static variables. Mon Aug 09 09:33:43 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h: #define ECOMM (to ECONNABORTED) if it's not already #defined. This allows support on NT. Thanks to Andy for reporting this. Mon Aug 9 07:45:19 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Signal.h: Modified the behavior of the ACE_Sig_Handler::dispatch() method so that on Win32 it'll automagically re-register the signal handler after the handler_signal() method returns with a non -1 value. Thanks to Andreas Geisler for suggesting this. * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Win32 didn't seem to like a 32k offset for the virtual address. Let's try 64k instead. Thanks to Nanbor for reporting this. * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Changed the sense of the conditional compilation test from && !defined (ACE_WIN32) to || defined (ACE_WIN32) so that this will run on Win32. Thanks to Nanbor for reporting this. * ace/OS.i: Cleaned up the coding style for the sigset* wrapper functions. Sun Aug 08 21:19:42 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: removed unreferenced_function_param warning suppression. It's no longer needed with the fixes to avoid unreferenced function parameters. [Bug 217] Fri Aug 06 15:20:00 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ACE-INSTALL.html: added information about compilation on SunOS5.6 using egcs1.1.2. Fri Aug 06 13:47:51 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note about disabling optimization for some files with Tornado II. Fri Aug 06 13:39:48 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated VxWorks build information, specifically, the instructions for building on NT host. And, added information about linking libACE.so and libTAO.so into the VxWorks kernel. Thanks to Erik Johannes and Stephane Chatre for helping to clarify and verify. Fri Aug 06 12:10:19 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC. * ace/OS.cpp (strptime_getnum): getnum should be strptim_getnum. * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME. Thanks to Andy for pointing this out. Fri Aug 06 11:13:27 1999 David L. Levine * ace/streams.h,OS.h,Log_Msg.h: with ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY, removed the hack that re-#defined ostream. Replaced that with an ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE macro. [Bug 208] Fri Aug 06 10:49:34 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated egcs versions that we use (1.1.1 and 1.1.2). Fri Aug 6 08:43:22 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * examples/Log_Msg/test_log_msg.cpp (main): Changed this test so that it no longer abort()s, but instead calls ACE_OS::_exit(). This should help avoid confusion when it's run. Thanks to Kevin Lyda for reporting this. This fixes [BUGID:211]. * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast: The QoS-enabled subscribe() call must call the QoS-enabled open() call, rather than the "regular" open() call because otherwise QoS information isn't initialized! Thanks to Vishal for pointing this out. Fri Aug 06 08:22:00 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Object_Manager.cpp: with ACE_SHOULD_MALLOC_STATIC_OBJECT_LOCK, made the ACE_Static_Object_Lock_lock instance static, to match the non-ACE_SHOULD_MALLOC_STATIC_OBJECT_LOCK behavior. Thanks to Jody for this change. Also, consolidated the code to alway use the ACE_Static_Object_Lock_Type typedef. Fri Aug 06 06:55:49 1999 Jody Hagins * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (depend.local): added ACE_DEPEND_SED_CMD hook, so that users can add sed scripts. An example is to use relative instead of absolute paths in dependencies. I put this into it to get the desired (site-specific) functionality: USER_DEPEND_SED_CMD=-e "s;$(PRISM_ROOT);\$$(PRISM_ROOT);g" Thu Aug 5 22:26:18 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Added support for strptime() for platforms that lack it. Thanks to Kevin Lyda for contributing this. Note that if a platform fails to compile because it doesn't support this function, please enable ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME in the config.h file and send us email. Thu Aug 05 21:37:05 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (ACE_Static_Object_Lock_lock, ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance, cleanup_lock): added support for ACE_SHOULD_MALLOC_STATIC_OBJECT_LOCK. It's not (currently) used by ACE. But, applications may find it useful for avoiding recursive calls if they have overridden operator new. Thanks to Jody Hagins for contributing it. Thu Aug 05 21:04:20 1999 David L. Levine * ace/streams.h: removed #includes of istream.h and ostream.h with ACE_HAS_STD_CPP_LIBRARY and ACE_USES_OLD_IOSTREAMS. Those headers aren't available with Sun CC. I think that they might be unnecessary with egcs for Tornado II. Thanks to Doug for reporting this. Ref. Thu Aug 05 14:31:48 1999 David L. Levine . Thu Aug 5 16:43:29 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Rearranged the #ifdefs so that we don't do much of anything if the platform doesn't support processes. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. Thu Aug 5 16:27:15 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Added new macro (ACE_SHLIBS) to control the final link line of shared libraries. Use this macro to list the -l options required by your shared library that are *not* included in the system LIBS macro, for example "-lTAO -lACE"; the system will automagically change that to be "-lTAOshr -lACEshr" on AIX. This also decouples the shared library link line from the binaries, which use LDLIBS and ACELIB, allowing the application developers to easily mix shared libraries and binaries in the same directory, even if the binaries depend on the generated shared library. Thu Aug 05 15:44:39 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: on WIN32 host, assume that $(CC) is on the user's path (or is a full pathname). That way, we don't need to determine ACE_CC dynamically, which causes trouble with the WIN32 shell. Thanks to Erik Johannes for reporting this. [NOTE: this had been committed on a branch, but never on the main line.] Thu Aug 05 15:35:21 1999 Nanbor Wang * apps/gperf/src/gperf.dsp: * apps/gperf/src/gperf_lib.dsp: * ace/ace_lib.dsp: * ace/ace_dll.dsp: Changed the default configuration to Win32 Debug so if anyone doesn't know what he is doing, he'll most likely to success. Thu Aug 05 15:30:32 1999 David L. Levine * ace/streams.h: with ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAMS_TOTALLY, always #define ostream FILE *. [Bug 208] Thu Aug 05 15:13:01 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-lynxos.h: added note on why we don't #define ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM for LynxOS. [Bug 164] Thu Aug 05 14:53:44 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added support for the Diab compiler, version 4.2a or later. Compilation succeeds but links still have unresolved symbols related to new and delete. [Bug 207] * ace/OS.h,README: added support for ACE_LACKS_NEW_H. [Bug 207] * ace/OS.h: for VxWorks, use the ANSI prototypes for inet_ntoa.h, etc., for all VxWorks compilers, not just Green Hills. This allows compilation to succeed with Diab 4.2a. [Bug 207] Thanks to Erik Johannes for helping with this quick port to Diab 4.2a for VxWorks. Thu Aug 05 14:31:48 1999 David L. Levine * ace/iosfwd.h: #include iosfwd with ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION as well as without ACE_HAS_OLD_IOSTREAMS. This allows builds to succeed for Tornado II with its egcs. [Bug 206] * ace/streams.h: added #includes of istream.h, ostream.h, and iomanip.h with ACE_HAS_STD_CPP_LIBRARY and ACE_USES_OLD_IOSTREAMS. It's necessary for builds for Tornado II, but should be harmless and helpful on other platforms. [Bug 206] Thanks to Matthias Schumann for first reporting the solution to the build problem for Tornado II. Thu Aug 5 13:03:28 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (shared_free): Looks like ACE_reinterpret_cast isn't the right thing to do... Let's just use good ol' fashioned C-style casts instead. Thanks to Bala for reporting this. Thu Aug 05 12:05:42 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: moved minimum_corba make flag support from wrapper_macros.GNU to TAO/rules.tao.GNU. Thanks to Bala for noticing this. [Bug 204] Thu Aug 05 12:01:14 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (shared_free): Applied ACE_reinterpret_cast (ACE_Malloc_Header*, yadda) to serveral pointer comparisons. MSVC was complaining because the pointers are of different types. Thu Aug 5 11:57:23 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU (YACC): Removed the definition of interface_repo a command line option with 'make' to $TAO_ROOT/rules.tao.GNU as per Dr.Levine's suggestions. Thu Aug 05 08:43:27 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_diab.GNU: added. Thanks to Erik Johannes for helping to figure out its contents. Note that compiles succeed with Diab 4.2a for VxWorks, but links do not, yet. Thu Aug 05 08:37:09 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: added Kirk Davies' notes for running the ACE tests on Tornado II, without NFS installed. Thu Aug 5 00:15:45 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Changed the type of index for operator[] and operator+= to be int instead of long so that it'll work correctly when constant values are used. Thanks to Nanbor and KCC for pointing this out! Wed Aug 4 19:46:33 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/run_tests.sh: Disabled the New_Fail_Test because it breaks other compilations. Wed Aug 4 15:56:51 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Make this test work even if ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC isn't set for a particular platform. * tests/Malloc_Test.h: Added a #include for "ace/Based_Pointer_T.h". Thanks to Carlos for pointing out the need for this. Wed Aug 4 17:07:12 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU : Made the interface repository files to be compiled by default. If the user does not want these files to be compiled he can turn it off by issuing interface_repo=1 with the 'make' command. Wed Aug 4 15:56:51 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Task.h (ACE_Task_Base): Changed the parameter name to , which is more descriptive. Thanks to John Forest for motivating this. Wed Aug 4 15:54:51 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile: * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile: If the libraries are specified as dependencies then they don't need to be listed in LDLIBS Wed Aug 4 13:20:54 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Malloc.h: Ok, let's try this again ;-). Removed the forward declarations and typedefs and replaced them with #defines. Hopefully, this will make all the compilers happy! Wed Aug 04 12:58:53 1999 Nanbor Wang * tests/*.dsp: Fixed Alpha configurations. Wed Aug 4 12:26:53 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Malloc.h: Added more forward declarations for the compilations that enabled PIM. Wed Aug 4 11:59:57 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Malloc.h: The previous fix did not work, i used forward declarations to make it work. Wed Aug 4 09:28:35 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Malloc.h: Replaced the use of typedefs for macros to define ACE_MALLOC_HEADER_PTR ACE, ACE_NAME_NODE_PTR, ACE_CHAR_PTR to try to avoid "incomplete type" messages from certain versions of G++. Macros are "later binding" than typedefs for this situation. * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp (handle_accept): Fixed an expression that had incorrect parentheses. Thanks to David Digby for reporting this. Wed Aug 04 02:40:45 1999 Nanbor Wang * tests/run_tests.bat: * tests/tests.dsw: * tests/Malloc_Test.dsp: * tests/version_tests/Malloc_Test.dsp: Added project files for the Malloc_Test and added the test in run_test.bat. Tue Aug 3 22:39:34 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/{Makefile,run_tests.sh}: Added support for the new Malloc_Test. * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Added a new test that exercises the new position-independent ACE_Malloc with ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool and ACE_Process_Mutex. * ace/Malloc_T: Added an accessor called mutex() to allow applications to acquire()/release() the lock used to provide mutual exclusion to an allocator. * tests/SV_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: Reformatted this test to conform to ACE programming guidelines. * ace/Memory_Pool: The void * and char * arguments to the various ACE_*_Memory_Pool_Options constructors should be const; now they are! * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_position_independent_malloc.cpp (main): Added auto_ptr support to this test, as well. * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_multiple_mallocs.cpp: Enhanced this test so that it uses auto pointers and also now takes advantage of position-independent malloc, when possible. * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_position_independent_malloc.cpp: Finished integrating all the features of this test. It's pretty cool now! * examples/Shared_Malloc/Makefile: Updated the LSRC target so 'make depend' works correctly... * ace/Select_Reactor_Base.cpp (find): Don't set errno = ENOENT if we find a valid mapping of handle to Event_Handler. Thanks to Hao Ruan for reporting this. * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Added support for operator= (const ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic &). * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Added definitions for ACE_Based_Pointer::operator= and ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic::operator= to make EGCS happy. * ace/Malloc.h: Factored out the common code for ACE_Based_Pointer<> and the underlying types, thereby reducing the number of #ifdef's. * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Added an operator CONCRETE *() method * ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.cpp: The original implementation of this classes stored a pointer to the size of each mapped address, rather than just the value. This was causing problems when used for shared memory because the memory was allocated in one process and freed in another. This is now fixed by not storing a pointer, but by storing the value instead. Thanks to Nanbor for reporting this. Tue Aug 3 23:43:47 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile: * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile: Fixed dependencies so parallel compilations (using the -j option) will work correctly. This fixes [BUGID:187] Tue Aug 3 23:23:18 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ace/Cached_Connect_Strategy_T.{h,cpp} (cleanup): Added a specialised method to prevent memory leaks with old versions of g++. This method calls the underlying iterator and does the cleanup. * ace/run_tests.sh: Removed purify check over Cached_Accept_Conn_Test and Cached_Conn_Test since they no longer leak memory when built using old version of g++. Tue Aug 3 22:23:18 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Added an ifeq flag for the interface repository. Compiling with interface_repo=1 will compile the files for interface repository. Tue Aug 03 21:17:00 1999 Nanbor Wang * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (host_is_up): Added a time out value of 5 second to spped up the test. Thanks to Jody Hagins for submitting the patch. Tue Aug 03 18:30:47 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ace/Strategies.h (ACE_Connection_Recycling_Strategy): Added a new pure virtual method which will provide a non-locking implementation of the method. * ace/Strategies_T.h (ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy): * ace/Cached_Connect_Strategy_T.h (ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy_Ex): Made public. * ace/Caching_Utility_T.{h,cpp} (ACE_Refcounted_Recyclable_Caching_Utility): Added this class which caters to purging of refcounted and recyclable handlers. * ace/Cleanup_Strategy_T.{h,cpp}: (ACE_Refcounted_Recyclable_Cleanup_Strategy): Added this class which caters to the cleanup of handlers which are refcounted and recyclable. Heres where the necessity of making the non-locking version of public arose in the first place. * ace/OS.h (ACE_Recyclable_State): Removed hardcoded values and left the enum values to the discretion of the compiler. Tue Aug 03 16:58:08 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/ATM_Acceptor.{h,cpp}: * ace/ATM_Connector.{h,cpp}: * ace/ATM_Stream.{h,i,cpp}: * ace/ATM_Params.cpp: * ace/ATM_QoS.cpp: * ace/XTI_ATM_Mcast.{h,i,cpp}: Fixed inlining errors. Tue Aug 03 16:15:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/Auto_Ptr.h: created ACE_AUTO_PTR_RESET macros, which depend on whether or not ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET is defined. * ace/config-kcc-common.h: defined ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET, because KCC native auto_ptr support is difficult to disable, and implements an older version of auto_ptr (without the reset method). Tue Aug 03 13:26:47 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Repository.cpp (instance): Check to see if the ACE_Object_Manager is being shutting down before creating a new instance of Service_Repository. Otherwise, we may be creating a new service repository just for shutting it down. Thanks to Doug for noticing this. * ace/Service_Config.cpp (fini_svcs): Since it is now possible for ACE_Service_Repository::instance to return 0 during program shutdown, we must check its value before using it. Notice that the change assumes people don't do stupid things like initializing the Service_Config during program shutdown. Mon Aug 2 23:21:01 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * bin/auto_compile: Added several flags to: disable test execution, specify the list of build directories on the command line, send email on successful compilation, keep a more detailed history, etc. Mon Aug 02 18:38:37 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/ATM_Acceptor.{h,i,cpp} : * ace/ATM_Connector.{h,i,cpp} : * ace/ATM_Params.{h,i,cpp} : * ace/ATM_QoS.{h,i,cpp} : * ace/ATM_Stream.{h,i,cpp} : * ace/XTI_ATM_Mcast.{h,i,cpp} : * ace/ATM_Addr.{h,cpp}: * ace/Makefile: * ace/TLI_Connector.i: Added new ATM wrapper files to make the mechanism of sockets or XTI transparent when using the ATM protocol. Modified existing files to take advantage of these wrapper classes. * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP : * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/CPP-client.cpp : * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/CPP-server.cpp : * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/Makefile : Added new test directory and programs to test ATM wrapper classes. * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/CPP-ATM-client.cpp: Modified existing test program to utilize new ATM_QoS class. Mon Aug 02 17:24:05 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h (ACE_DL_TYPE): Only WinCE uses wchar_t DL type, we'll just deal with this in ACE_OS::dlsym instead of defining different types here. * ace/OS.i (dlsym): GetProcAddress is defined differently on Windows CE and other Win32 platforms so we need to treat them differently. * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Malloc_Header): Added a dummy member function to prevent egcs from complaining "all member functions are private." * ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.cpp: Fixed the use of map iterators. * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_position_independent_malloc.cpp (main): Delete the allocator before exiting from main. * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Malloc_Header,ACE_Name_Node,ACE_Control_Block): Added an unimplemented assignment operator for this class. Otherwise, some compilers will try to use ACE_Based_Pointer_Base::operator= which is not implemented. Mon Aug 2 09:58:20 1999 Ossama Othman * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (init): * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (init): * netsvcs/lib/TS_Clerk_Handler.cpp (init): Changed cast to ACE_SignalHandler to allow it to compile under gcc 2.95. Sun Aug 1 15:58:39 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/colorize: Added 
 wrapper around generated output.

        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/Makefile:
        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/README:
        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/mm.cpp:
        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/ex03.html: mm.cpp (and ex03.html) are a
          slightly modified version of ex02.html that uses a memory mapped
          file instead of SYSV SHMEM.  To work around the lack of fork()
          in Win32, the app must be executed once in server mode
          (argv[1] == 's') and again in client mode.

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: If the base_addr is 0 for the
          ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool_Options, then we will disable the
          "use_fixed_addr" option since it's going to cause big trouble to
          mmap() at location 0!  Plus, when 0 is used it's intended as an
          indication that the application wants the OS to choose the
          appropriate mapping.  This minor change in semantics works
          particularly well with the new
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC feature, because we can now
          let the OS choose the mapping location with out fear of begin
          mapped to a different location!

        * ace  /Memory_Pool.cpp: Conditionally include
          ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.h when
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC is defined.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: Enabled the
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC macro by default.  Let's see
          whether this breaks lots of stuff ;-).

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the definition of ACE_IPPROTO_TCP down
          further in this file so that the IPPROTO_TCP macro would be
          defined.

        * ace/Based_Pointer_T.cpp: Removed an inappropriate use of
          ACE_INLINE in the *.cpp file.  Thanks to DEC UNIX C++ for
          reporting this!

Sun Aug 01 02:41:44 1999  Nanbor Wang  

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/Shared_Malloc.dsw
        * examples/Shared_Malloc/position_independent_malloc.dsp: Added
          this new project file for position independent malloc test.
