Wed Apr 28 20:21:12 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Synch_T.h (class ACE_Anti_*_Guard): I had accidentally checked in the anti guard classes. These are not needed since we decided to stick with the reverse lock class rather than the anti guard classes. Wed Apr 28 18:02:36 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h: Added a new macro called ACE_non_function_ptr_to_function_ptr_cast to get around some compiler constrain. In face, ANSI C++ standard prevents casting from a non-function pointer (e.g., void *) to a function pointer. Currently, only egcs check for this condition. * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (symbol): Changed to use the new ACE_non_function_ptr_to_function_ptr_cast. Wed Apr 28 16:53:16 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * examples/Reactor/Proactor/Aio_Platform_Test_C.cpp: Added this file, a simple C version of the $ACE_ROOT/tests/Aio_Platforms_Test.cpp. Useful for submitting bug reports etc. * ace/Proactor.cpp: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.cpp: Fixed old g++ warnings Wed Apr 28 15:39:14 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (symbol): Use reinterpret_cast to cast dlsym's return value. Wed Apr 28 12:40:26 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Synch_T.{i,cpp} (~ACE_Reverse_Lock): uninlined destructor. See docs/ACE-guidelines.html for an explanation of why a class should have at least one non-inline, non-pure virtual function if it has any virtual functions. egcs 1.1.1b needed this one. Wed Apr 28 09:02:26 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: It appears that SunC++ 5.0 wants ACE_HAS_THR_C_DEST to be defined. * ace/SString: Clarified the comments a bit to avoid confusion. Also, moved the definition of ACE_SString to AFTER ACE_CString and ACE_WString since they are more general. Thanks to Kevin Lyda for reporting this. Tue Apr 27 20:59:52 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * netsvcs/clients/Naming: Moved the README file into the Client/ directory since that's what it described. * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Client_Test.cpp: Reformatted some code to conform to ACE programming guidelines. * ace/Naming_Context.cpp (parse_args): Oops, fixed a braino related to strcmp(). Thanks to Valery Arkhangorodsky for reporting this. Tue Apr 27 18:00:31 1999 Steve Huston * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_CString, ACE_OS_WString): Fixed one-off error in allocating new string's memory. Tue Apr 27 17:36:28 1999 Ossama Othman * m4/threads.m4: Restructured thread detection test so that it properly detects threads on platforms that provide PTHREADS backward compatibility macros, such as Digital Unix 4.0 and 5.0. Tue Apr 27 18:56:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/Containers_T.{cpp, h} tests/OrdMultiSet_Test.cpp: added a workaround for a problem with implicit template instantiation and a do-nothing destructor definition. Thanks to Sarmeesha Reddy and Steven Tine for reporting this. * include/makeinclude/platform_psos_diab_ppc.GNU: changes to use the board support package linker file. Thanks to Sarmeesha Reddy and Steven Tine for contributing this change. Tue Apr 27 16:30:57 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/UNIX_Addr.h (ACE_UNIX_Addr): Corrected typographical error in comment. Tue Apr 27 12:57:06 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Removed `tests/log/Makefile' from the list of files to generate (i.e. removed from AC_OUTPUT macro call). * tests/Makefile.am: Corrected a typo. I neglected to add "_SOURCES" to the end of the Collection_Test source variable variable. Also added more missing tests to the list of test programs. Commented out Cache_Manager_Test. It appears to need a header that doesn't exist. * ace/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS): Removed `Timer_Queue.i' from the list of headers. * bin/autogen: * bin/bootstrap: Renamed the `autogen' script to `bootstrap'. Tue Apr 27 11:54:53 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Temorarily removed my experimental C++ libtool support so that I can get a semi-working test distribution out on the net. * ltconfig: * ltmain.sh: Reverted to more stable version, i.e. w/o my C++ support. * m4/threads.m4: Added KAI C++ thread flag check. Tue Apr 27 11:45:40 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Collection_Test.cpp (main): Added some additional array tests and fixed template instantiation errors. Thanks to David Levine for pointing them out. * ace/OS.h (ACE_DES_FREE): Changed all the ACE_DES* macros to check for zero pointers. Thanks to Torsten Kuepper for pointing this bug out. Tue Apr 27 11:08:35 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Basic_Types.h: Forced KAI compiler to use ACE_U_LongLong if ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T is defined. * ace/DLL.cpp: * ace/Service_Config.i: * ace/Service_Object.i: * ace/INET_Addr.cpp: Some CE related changes. Tue Apr 27 00:03:16 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Collection_Test.cpp (main): Added test code for ACE_Array. Mon Apr 26 23:55:43 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Synch_T.h (class ACE_Reverse_Lock): Removed constructor that created the lock. There were two reasons for this: (a) it was unrealistic that the reverse lock would own and create the regular lock and (b) this constructor made it impossible that ACE_Reverse_Lock can be used with ACE_Lock (the abstract class). Thanks to Carlos for pointing this out. Mon Apr 26 21:43:23 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS, libACE_IPC_la_SOURCES): Added ATM_Addr sources to these variables. * ace/Makefile.am (EXTRA_libACE_la_SOURCES): Accidentally removed this variable. It is needed for conditionally built sources, such as `gethrtime.cpp'. * tests/Makefile.am: Added newly added tests to the list of test programs to be built. Changed "noinst_PROGRAMS" variable to "check_PROGRAMS" so that tests only get built when a `make check' is issued by the user. Mon Apr 26 19:29:25 1999 Ossama Othman * tests/Reverse_Lock_Test.cpp (main): ACE_START_TEST macro had "Thread_Mutex_Test" instead of "Reverse_Lock_Test." Mon Apr 26 17:01:22 1999 Steve Huston * ace/ACE.cpp (DllMain): Re-enabled this for use on Win32. * ace/OS.h (main): On non-pSoS, use ACE::init, ACE::fini rather than creating object manager instances on the stack. Allows a single instance regardless of program type; especially helpful on Win32. * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_Object_Manager ctor): * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (ACE_Object_Manager ctor): Don't set instance_ if it was already set. So if two ACE_Object_Manager instances end up getting created, the first one stays The Instance, and the second gets used privately by its creator. Previously, the original was forgotten. Thanks to David Levine for working out this and the above details with me to get the Win32 crowd in business without platform-specific hacks. Mon Apr 26 16:43:32 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Asynch_IO_Impl.h (ACE_Asynch_[Read|Write]_File_Impl): Declared the read/write pure virtual methods of ACE_Asynch_[Read|Write]_Stream_Impl again in these class to avoid KAI compiler's overwriting pure virtual function warnings. Mon Apr 26 10:54:23 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/High_Res_Timer.h: Moved the static method hrtime_to_tv to the public section. It is useful outside this class. * ace/Synch_T.cpp: The default constructor for ACE_Reverse_Lock should not allocate the locking mechanism, otherwise it cannot work with ACE_Lock. Mon Apr 26 07:30:51 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.i (fstat): Changed to use CE's implementation and added some features that're supported on other Win32 platforms. The original implementation for Win32 closed down the file handle accidentally which is not a "Good Thing[TM]". Thanks to Dominic Williams for pointing this out. Sun Apr 25 21:35:37 1999 David L. Levine * ace/ACE.{h,cpp},OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp} (init,fini): moved init_fini_count_ from ACE Object_Managers to ACE, so that it is only used via ACE::init () and ACE::fini (). Thanks to Steve Huston for pointing out that the old way didin't work if an Object_Manager was created prior to starting main (), and there were ACE::init ()/ACE::fini () calls in main (). Sun Apr 25 16:59:21 1999 Nanbor Wang * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_kcc.GNU: Fixed incorrect compiler flags. * ace/config-sunos5.7.h: Added definition of uint64_t on KAI. * ace/config-kcc-common.h: Changed to use non-static object manager. Defined ACE_SIZEOF_LONGLONG. KAI compiler has type long long. * ace/OS.h: ACE_NOTREACHED should expand to nothing on KAI compiler. * ace/CDR_Stream.h (ACE_CDR): KAI compiler doesn't have longlong_t. * ace/Basic_Types.h: KAI compiler should define ACE_UINT64 as unsigned long long. Sun Apr 25 14:52:18 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * COPYING, TAO/COPYING: Updated the ACE+TAO COPYING information to emphasize the relationship to open source. Thanks to Malcolm Spence for suggesting the wording. Sat Apr 24 23:03:31 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ACE_wrappers/ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.cpp * ACE_wrappers/ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.h * ACE_wrappers/ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp * ACE_wrappers/ace/POSIX_Proactor.h * ACE_wrappers/ace/Proactor.cpp * ACE_wrappers/ace/Proactor.h * ACE_wrappers/ace/Proactor_Impl.h * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/Makefile * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/README * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_aiocb.cpp * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_aiosig.cpp * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_aiosig_ace.cpp * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp * ACE_wrappers/examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_timeout.cpp - Completed Multithreading of POSIX_SIG_Proactor. - Introduced another constructor for ACE_POSIX_SIG_Proactor for taking signal mask to be used with the Proactor. - Thanks to Dave Butenhof for helping a lot to understand the various things in the POSIX4 standard. - Thanks to Dave suggestion of keeping null_handler for the sigaction to real-time signals. With this and a couple of other correct POSIX things SIG proactor is now working with in Solaris 2.7. - Lynx OS doesnt support , so it couldnt be multithreaded. Enabled AIOCB_Proactor for this platform. - Added an example to make use of the real-time signal numbers for the asynchronous I/O calls. * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_posix_sig_proactor.cpp: This program demonstrates how to post fake completions to The Proactor. It also shows the how to specify the particular real-time signals to post completions. * ace/config-lynxos.h: Enabled ACE_POSIX_AIOCB_PROACTOR for this platform, since was not available. Without , SIG_Proactor can not work correctly. * ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h: Removed ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS. Even simple aio calls test is hanging. Sat Apr 24 13:09:27 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Containers_T.h: Added allocator support to ACE_Array. Thakns to Paul Francis for contributing this. * ace/Future.h (class ACE_Future): Make sure to mention that get()'s ACE_Time_Value must be in absolute, not relative, time. Thanks to Ian MacDonald for reporting this. Sat Apr 24 07:24:51 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Reverse_Lock_Test.cpp: removed ACE_Guard instantiation because it's in ace/Synch.cpp. * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added ACE_THR_PRI_OTHER_DEF #define, for use by MT_Cubit. * ace/Object_Manager.cpp, OS.cpp (fini): unconditionally set instance_ to 0 at the end. This allows init () to work properly if called after fini (), such as for repeated test on VxWorks. Thanks to Todd Mullanix for reporting this. Fri Apr 23 17:53:24 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: for PPC860, changed -m=860 to -mcpu=860. Thanks to Todd Mullanix for reporting this. Fri Apr 23 15:48:31 1999 James Hu * ace/OS.h: * ace/OS.i: * ace/README: * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: added support for the memchr library call, and created ACE_HAS_MEMCHR macro. Fri Apr 23 10:48:31 1999 David L. Levine * tests/New_Fail_Test.cpp (main): added uses of the two static functions when they're not otherwise used, to prevent g++ warnings. Fri Apr 23 09:11:24 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/Reverse_Lock_Test.cpp: Fixed template instantiation problems. Thu Apr 22 21:39:44 1999 Ossama Othman * tests/Makefile.am: Added support to create the `tests/log' directory after the tests have been built. * tests/log/Makefile.am The above change deprecates this Makefile.am file. Thanks to Nanbor for motivating this change. Thu Apr 22 20:50:30 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.i: Modified reset() to reset all the message blocks, instead of just the first one as it had previously done. Thanks to Jerry D. De Master for pointing out the problem and suggesting a fix. Thu Apr 22 19:40:52 1999 Steve Huston * ace/OS.h: Adjust exception thrown at out-of-memory for HP-UX, aC++. * ace/config-hpux-10.x-hpc++.h: Add ACE_NEW_THROWS_EXCEPTIONS. Thu Apr 22 19:30:01 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Synch_T.h (class ACE_Reverse_Lock): Added an interesting adapter class that changes a lock into a reverse lock, i.e., acquire() on this class calls release() on the lock, and release() on this class calls acquire() on the lock. One motivation for this class is when we temporarily want to release a lock (which we have already acquired) but then reaquire it soon after. An alternative design would be to add a Anti_Guard or Reverse_Guard class which would release() on construction and acquire() destruction. However, there are *many* varieties of the Guard class and this design choice would lead to at least 6 new classes. One new ACE_Reverse_Lock class seemed more reasonable. * tests/Reverse_Lock_Test.cpp: Test for the new ACE_Reverse_Lock class. * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): Fixed UNICODE string concatenation problem. * tests/version_tests: Added a bunch of missing project files. * ace/ace_lib.dsp: Added missing files. Thu Apr 22 19:10:52 1999 Steve Huston * ace/ATM_Addr.cpp: Put in class's consts for non-FORE platforms. Thu Apr 22 17:05:36 1999 Nanbor Wang * bin/auto_compile_win32.pl: Added version_tests. * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_kcc.GNU: Makefile macros for KAI C++ compiler. * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: Added KAI C++ compiler support. * docs/exceptions.html: Explicitly state that ACE try macros will replace TAO try macros and advise users to take action if they are still using TAO try macros. Thanks to Don Busch for pointing this out. Thu Apr 22 15:07:10 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: added PPC860 support. Thanks to Todd Mullanix figuring out how to support it, with help from Thomas Mehrkam and Hai Vu . Thu Apr 22 13:26:26 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/XtReactor.cpp (remove_handler_i): In the registration phase, we registered first with ACE_Select_Reactor and then with X. Now we are now doing things in reverse order. Thanks to JM Strauss for contributing these changes. Thu Apr 22 13:23:00 1999 Chris Gill * include/makeinclude/platform_psos_diab_ppc.GNU: commented out -g switch which was triggering a bug in the Diab 4.2b compiler when compiling in debug information. This is supposed to be fixed in the 4.3a release of the Diab compiler. The ACE tests all compile now for pSOS/PPC. Thanks to Sarmeesha Reddy for reporting the bug to Diab and obtaining the workaround. Thu Apr 22 10:46:17 1999 Steve Huston * apps/JAWS/server: Added $(ACELIB) to LDLIBS to build libJAWS on AIX with xlC. * tests/New_Fail_Test.cpp: Added __GNUG__ to the platforms which do not actually perform the test; added some more explanation and a better log message for when it doesn't actually run. Thu Apr 22 10:28:39 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-minimal.h: removed suppression of ACE_TSS_EMULATION and enable of ACE_USE_THREAD_MANAGER_ADAPTER. They're no longer necessary with the clean OS.cpp. Thu Apr 22 08:52:48 1999 Steve Huston * tests/New_Fail_Test.cpp: Fixed to compile clean without exceptions. * tests/run_tests.{sh bat}: Added New_Fail_Test. Wed Apr 21 16:41:08 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp (main): added 10 second time limit to run_event_loop () call. That prevents the test from hanging forever if some of the connections are lost. * tests/Priority_Reactor_Test.cpp: default to 5 children instead of 10 on LynxOS. Beyond 8, the test seems to take forever on LynxOS 3.0.0. * tests/run_tests.sh: enabled Reactor_Performance_Test, Priority_Reactor_Test, Time_Service_Test, and Tokens_Test on LynxOS. Wed Apr 21 16:35:21 1999 Steve Huston * tests/New_Fail_Test.cpp: Test to be sure that the ACE_NEW[_RETURN] stuff works correctly when heap is exhausted. * tests/Makefile: Added New_Fail_Test. * tests/tests.dsw, New_Fail_Test.dsp: Add new test to MSVC. Wed Apr 21 15:35:44 1999 Steve Huston * ace/ACE.cpp: On Win32, with ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER, use DllMain to do ACE::init() and ACE::fini(). * tests/ACE_Init_Test.dsp, * tests/ACE_Init_Test.{cpp h}, * tests/ACE_Init_TestDlg.{cpp h}, * tests/ACE_Init_Test.(ico rc rc2 res}, * tests/ACE_Init_Test_(Resource StdAfx}.h: New test to be sure that ACE DLL is initialized properly from an MFC app. * tests/tests.dsw: Added ACE_Init_Test.dsp project. Wed Apr 21 14:59:04 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_Object_Manager::fini): on LynxOS only, disabled ACE_{recursive/thread}_mutex_destroy () calls, because they failed on LynxOS in forked children. The prevents the failure message from being printed, with no apparent ill effect. Wed Apr 21 10:06:11 1999 Steve Huston * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: Moved -lthread from the all-Orbix section to the MT-Orbix section for LIBS. Wed Apr 21 09:25:16 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp (main): replaced ACE_SCHED_FIFO with THR_SCHED_FIFO in activate call. Thanks to Carlos for finding this subtle error. Wed Apr 21 03:34:18 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.37 released. Tue Apr 20 22:55:18 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.i (thr_join): ifdef ACE_LACKS_PTHREAD_NULL_STATUS, provide the address of a temporary variable for the status argument of ::pthread_join (), if the caller passed 0. * ace/config-lynxos.h,README: added ACE_LACKS_PTHREAD_NULL_STATUS. LynxOS 3.0.0 fails ::pthread_join () calls with EFAULT if the second (status) argument is 0. Tue Apr 20 21:53:32 1999 Joe Hoffert * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/Makefile: Had inadvertently checked in local changes. Now undoing these changes. Tue Apr 20 18:25:45 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/{SOCK,TLI,LSOCK,Asynch}_Acceptor.h: Replaced the use of the hard-coded backlog value of 5 with ACE_DEFAULT_BACKLOG. Thanks to Irfan for motivating this. * ace/OS.h: Added a new (overriddable) macro called ACE_DEFAULT_BACKLOG that's used to control the default number of connections that can be accepted by an OS. The default value is 5. Tue Apr 20 18:22:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/Map_T.i ace/config-psos-diab-mips.h ace/config-psos-diab-ppc.h ace/config-psos-diab.h include/makeinclude/platform_psos_diab_ppc.GNU tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp: fixed the remaining tests for which compiler bug workarounds were available for pSOS PPC with the Diab 4.2b compiler. Tue Apr 20 16:41:39 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (num_tasks_in_group): Make sure we are not searching for a null task. Thanks to Umar Syyid for pointing this out. Tue Apr 20 15:10:33 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp: Changed the default number of connections () from 20 to 5 for NT. This seems reasonable since the default backlog is 5. Once we have the ability to set the backlog from the ACE_Acceptor class, we can increase this number. Tue Apr 20 13:55:34 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/OS.i: Fixed ACE_OS::t_free to free memory if pointer is not null. * ace/TLI.h: Added default ACE_XTI_ATM_DEVICE. * ace/TLI_Connector.cpp: Disabled non-blocking connects for XTI/ATM since FORE's drivers have problems with this. Also, fixed t_alloc memory leaks. * ace/ATM_Addr.cpp: Added code formatting change. * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/CPP-ATM-{server,client}.cpp: Added the use of ACE_XTI_ATM_DEVICE Tue Apr 20 13:30:51 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/ace.icc: Added a configuration file for creating a shared library with Visual Age C++. Thanks to Rene Matteau for this. Mon Apr 19 23:50:25 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Time_Service_Test.cpp (main): Fixed error message. * ace/Connector.cpp (handle_close): Removed unused argument . Mon Apr 19 17:17:47 1999 Steve Huston * docs/tutorials/tutorials.dsw: Fixed project file name for 019-021. Mon Apr 19 17:02:42 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Connector.cpp (handle_close): There is no need to call cancel_timer() or remove_handler() from handle_close(). Removal of all svc tuples from the is done by . Mon Apr 19 16:45:54 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp} (ACE_OS_Object_Manager, ACE_Object_Manager: added static counter to match init ()/fini () calls. Don't destroy Object_Managers until final fini () call. Thanks to Ian MacDonald for tracking down the problem with multiple DLLs in a process. This change delays destruction of the ACE_Object_Manager until the final fini () call. Mon Apr 19 15:24:55 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/TLI_Stream.cpp (ACE_TLI_Stream): Make sure to set the value of rwflag_ to 0 so that purify is happy. Thanks to Joe Hoffert for reporting this. Mon Apr 19 14:35:42 1999 Irfan Pyarali * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex2.cpp (supplier): * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex3.cpp (consumer): Avoided annoying g++ warning about by explicitly making a temporary. Thanks to David for pointing this out. Sun Apr 18 21:52:43 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-linux-common.h: moved ACE_LACKS_MADVISE to non-glibc section. Thanks to JM Strauss for reporting that it wasn't on a Linux system with a 2.0.35 kernel. Sun Apr 18 16:36:30 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/config-linux-common.h (ACE_LACKS_MADVISE): Re-enabled #define ACE_LACKS_MADVISE. Linux doesn't appear to have an madvise() system call. * configure.in: * tests/Makefile.am: Added libtool support for modules (dlopened libraries). Sun Apr 18 08:48:37 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Auto_Ptr.i: reordered inline methods to avoid use before definition. Fixed a few ACE_TRACE comments. Sun Apr 18 00:26:28 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Notify_Performance_Test.cpp (main): * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp (main): * tests/Priority_Reactor_Test.cpp (main): Avoided annoying g++ warning about by explicitly making a temporary. Thanks to David for pointing this out. Sat Apr 17 18:52:38 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (acquire): Changed use of auto_ptr. * ace/Auto_Ptr.i (operator=): Changed to . Thanks to David Levine and Jean-Marc Strauss for reporting this. Sat Apr 17 08:34:22 1999 David L. Levine * examples/Naming/Makefile,performance-tests/Misc/Makefile, tests/Makefile,all netsvcs Makefiles: updated for proper support of ACE subsets, with BIN2/LIB2/SHLIB2. Fri Apr 16 22:14:36 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Auto_Ptr: Made several changes to bring the implementation up to the specification: - Made the constructors take non-const parameters. - Made release() non-const. - Added reset(). Thanks to Simeon Simeonov , Rainer Blome , Jody Hagins , and John Mulhern for helping. * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp: Updated to work with new auto pointer implementation. Fri Apr 16 19:36:35 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/Proactor.h (ACE_Proactor): Switched the order of TIMER_QUEUE and delete_implementation in the constructor. * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_multiple_loops.cpp: Fixed to work on the WIN32 correctly. This can work only on WIN32 (combining Proactor with Reactor's event loop). So I have put a #if defined around the file. Fri Apr 16 18:09:44 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Conn_Test.cpp (server): If we timeout on accept(), it is not an error, and should not be reported as one. Thanks to Thomas Mehrkam for pointing this out. Fri Apr 16 13:08:49 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},ACE.{h,cpp}: (read_n,send_n,write_n): moved from ACE to ACE_OS, so that the uses in OS.cpp could be localized. The ACE versions are now just wrappers over the ACE_OS versions, for backward compatibility. Thanks to Erik Ivanenko for reporting that OS.cpp used a couple of the ACE static member functions. Fri Apr 16 10:13:14 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/rules.nested.GNU,ACE-INSTALL.html: added support for recursive make invocations with Windows NT's shell. Thanks to Dave Steele for diagnosing the problem, and Tres Seaver for providing the wild NT FOR command. Check it out, Darrell. Fri Apr 16 07:52:11 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: Fixed my previous fix with calibrate being called on Windows NT when a high-res timer of 1 Mhz was being found. Calibrate should not be called on NT now. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for noticing this. * ace/Profile_Timer.cpp: Integrated the patch from Andy Marchewka for returning rusage information from elapsed_time. Thu Apr 15 16:50:21 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated discussion of "dir unexpected" error when building for VxWorks on NT. Thanks to Dave Steele for providing the insight. Thu Apr 15 14:04:36 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: don't call $(RANLIB) if it is null. * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_{g++,ghs}.GNU: removed RANLIB definition, so that it will be null. This prevents calling "true" on NT hosts. Thanks to Thomas Mehrkam for reporting that his NT host doesn't have "true". Thu Apr 15 14:00:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/OS.{h, i}: simplified the conditional compilation logic for a couple of the pSOS-specific ACE_OS methods, removed a handful of marker comments, added a conditional compilation branch for pid_t declaration. Wed Apr 14 22:40:08 1999 David L. Levine * tests/run_tests.sh: call run_tests.check via sh, to support platforms that don't have /bin/sh. Thanks to Thomas Mehrkam for reporting that his NT host doesn't have /bin/sh. Wed Apr 14 18:56:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/OS.{h, i} ace/config-psos-diab-ppc.h include/makeinclude/platform_psos_diab_ppc.GNU: changes to adapt the pSOS Diab 68k/MIPS port to PPC. Many thanks to Sarmeesha Reddy and Steven Tine for contributing these changes. Wed Apr 14 17:06:22 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added #define ACE_HAS_DLL 0. Thanks to Thomas Mehrkam for reporting that it's necessary on NT hosts. Wed Apr 14 13:10:48 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/config-sunos5.7.h: Enabled ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS for Solaris 7. ACE_POSIX_AIOCB_PROACTOR works now on this. * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_aiocb.cpp: Updated comments. * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: Removed the ACE_AIORETURN/ERROR macros. * ace/Proactor.cpp (ACE_Proactor): Removed debug print statments. * ace/config-lynxos.h: Removed the ACE_AIORETURN/ERROR macros. * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/WIN32_Asynch_IO.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Proactor.h: * ace/WIN32_Proactor.cpp: * ace/Proactor_Impl.h: Completed committing changes related to the additions done earlier. Wed Apr 14 09:07:38 EDT 1999 Aniruddha Gokhale * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: Several methods were missing the "int signal_number" parameter that was added as mentioned in the log entry below. In addition, an undefined ACE_SIG_AIO flag was used. I found a log entry in ChangeLog-98b which says that ACE_SIG_AIO is ACE_SIGRTMIN. So I replaced the 5 occurrences of ACE_SIG_AIO with ACE_SIGRTMIN. Wed Apr 14 02:34:13 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu Added additional parameter to all the Asynchronos Operation method so that we can specify which real-time signal should be used for each of the Asynchronous Operation. This only makes sense in the ACE_SIG_Proactor configuration. * ace/Asynch_IO_Impl.h: * ace/Asynch_IO.h: * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.cpp: * ace/POSIX_Proactor.h: - For each asynchronous call issued, the real-time signal is registered with the Proactor so that it can wait for the completions using that signal. Previously, the signal number for all the operations was the same signal and it was hard coded. - method which earlier existed only for has been added to also. just takes the from the result object and registers the signal number. Registering involves, masking the signal, setting the signal delivery for that RT signal etc. - Allowing to specify signal number for each operation can be useful, since the order in which the completions are delivered from the completion queue, is based on the signal numbers in addition to the priority. Applications might want to leverage this. * ace/OS.h: OS.h has been defined with ACE_SIGRTMIN and ACE_SIGRTMAX, which are defined to SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX respectively, for POSIX4 platforms. For others, they are 0. Tue Apr 13 15:29:37 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Object_Manager.cpp: moved ACE_Service_Config signal handler allocation from constructor to init (). Tidy, tidy, tidy. Tue Apr 13 14:52:15 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/ATM_Addr.cpp: Fixed g++ warnings of unused parameters. Tue Apr 13 14:47:18 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp (main): replaced call to sysconf () with ACE_OS::sysconf (). Thanks to Erik Ivanenko for noticing this. Tue Apr 13 14:17:48 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp: replaced use of ACE_TSS with ACE_WIN32 or ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION with native use of ACE_OS TSS, to remove dependency on ace/Synch.h. Also, changed ACE_OS::NULL_key to be -1 instead of 0 with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION. Tue Apr 13 09:05:25 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Sched_Params.i (ACE_Sched_Priority_Iterator): removed ACE_TRACE's, because Sched_Param is in the ACE_OS (lowest) component. Thanks to Erik Ivanenko for reporting this. Tue Apr 13 08:21:41 1999 Steve Huston * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++_orbix.GNU: Added a make option, mt_orbix, to control whether the MT or non-MT variant of Orbix is used. Default is MT; to use non-MT, "make mt_orbix=0". * ace/config-sunos5.x-sunc++-4.x-orbix.h: Include correct config-sunos5 file based on OS version at compile time. Allow site config to specify ACE_HAS_MT_ORBIX 0. Mon Apr 12 14:24:28 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (realclean.local): added BIN2, LIB2, SHLIB2, and SHLIBA2 to support subsetting. It allows realclean to remove old BIN, LIB, SHLIB, and SHLIBA targets after remove the ace_components information file. Also, removed explicit -f following $(RM). -f should be included in the RM macro if appropriate for the platform. Mon Apr 12 13:01:32 1999 David L. Levine * ace/gethrtime.cpp (ACE_gethrtime),Makefile: added support for rdtsc instruction with GHS on Intel targets. Thanks to Andy Alvarez for providing the assembly instructions to do this! Mon Apr 12 12:04:20 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/Makefile,ATM_Addr.cpp: Added ACE_ATM_Addr class back into Makefile since it's working now. Fixed address initialization problem in ACE_ATM_Addr. NOTE: This code currently only works with Solaris 2.5/2.6. Will need to update the code for FORE's implementation on Solaris 2.7. NOTE: To use FORE's XTI/ATM implementation the following #defines need to be included (typically in ace/config.h): #define ACE_HAS_FORE_ATM_XTI #define ACE_HAS_TIUSER_H_BROKEN_EXTERN_C #define ACE_TLI_TCP_DEVICE "/dev/xtisvc*" //(e.g., /dev/xtisvc0) AND the following flags are needed to build the ace library (typically in include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU): CPPFLAGS += -I$(FORE_ROOT)/include Mon Apr 12 10:04:31 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: The default rule to compile .idl files is only enabled if TAO_ROOT is not defined, otherwise we should use the rule in $TAO_ROOT/rules.tao.GNU Mon Apr 12 00:18:23 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.36 released. Sun Apr 11 17:06:53 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp (run_client): Fixed the warnings on Linux (config-linux.h). Sun Apr 11 16:09:16 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp (run_client): Made some fixes if ACE_MT_SAFE is false... Thanks to Alex for reporting these. Sun Apr 11 16:02:49 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-fancy.cpp (create_handler): Fixed the warnings (control reaching end of block) and error (passing u_long to close) which showed up on Linux(with config-linux.h) * performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp, * examples/Threads/task_five.cpp: Replaced ACE_MT_SYNCH by ACE_SYNCH to get it compile on Linux. Sun Apr 11 14:38:22 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Added test for ACE_NEEDS_FUNC_DEFINITIONS. Corrected bug in ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SOURCE test. Sat Apr 10 14:02:11 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Malloc[_Base]: Added a new no-op constructor for ACE_Allocator to hopefully work around a problem with DEC UNIX C++. Fri Apr 09 10:08:49 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: enable -fno-implicit-templates for targets other than Intel. It appears to work for PPC targets, and is necessary to avoid compiler warnings about different symbol sizes in object files. Thanks to Thomas Mehrkam for tracking down the source of the warnings, and verifying that -fno-implicit-templates works for PPC targets. Fri Apr 09 08:14:55 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: replaced "ln -s" with $(LN_S), and set that to "ln -s" by default. Thanks to Rainer Blome for suggesting this. Fri Apr 9 00:38:03 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SOCK_Acceptor.cpp (shared_accept): Make sure to disable ACE_NONBLOCK on the newly accepted socket since otherwise applications can have weird behavior. Thanks to Margaret Reitz and Irfan for helping to track this down. Thu Apr 08 13:47:03 1999 David L. Levine * BUG-REPORT-FORM,PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM, README,VERSION,Makefile,Makefile.am,bin/make_release, docs/ACE-bug-process.html: moved BUG-REPORT-FORM to PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM. Thanks to Thomas Lockhart for suggesting this. * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added checklist for ACE/TAO changes, including commit with a meaningful message, update a ChangeLog, and ack and respond to the requestor. Thu Apr 8 13:18:22 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/SString.h: Updated the documentation to show that "Memory is _not_ allocated/freed if is 0". Wed Apr 7 20:24:48 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h (ACE_DECLARE_NEW_CORBA_ENV): Removed the trailing semi-column. Thanks to Marina for the reminder. Wed Apr 7 19:09:05 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Containers_T: Replaced all Foo &Foo::operator=() with void Foo::operator=() to avoid nasty problems with propagation of errors. Thanks to Chris Schleicher for reporting this. Wed Apr 07 17:25:07 1999 Nanbor Wang * apps/Gateway/Gateway/connection_config: Changed the connection 1 and 2 to use localhost since it would probably be the most common test case. * apps/Gateway/README: Replaced all references of proxy_config to connection_config. Also change the example port number to 10011 and 10012 which are the default port number used by the gatewayd. Thanks to Sam Rhine for reporting this. Wed Apr 7 16:36:41 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ACE-INSTALL.html: Put a note in saying to rebuild all when upgrading releases. Wed Apr 07 14:25:47 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/ATM_Addr.{h,cpp}: modified files to compile for machines without FORE XTI/ATM support. * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/CPP-{server,client}.cpp: modified files to take out XTI/ATM code. * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/Makefile,CPP-ATM-{server,client}.cpp: added separate test files for XTI/ATM Wed Apr 7 14:20:59 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/Basic_Types.h: Added a signed companion to David's ACE_UINT64_LITERAL, to avoid MSVC warnings. If the platform has no 8-byte integer, this is useless, but we must keep all compilers happy. Also modified ACE_INT64_MAX tp use this, and added a signed companion to ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER. Wed Apr 07 13:57:33 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated egcs shared library discussion with information from Tim Rose that egcs 1.1.1 statics libs work fine on Solaris 2.6. Wed Apr 07 13:14:34 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Object.{h,i} (fini_called): Accessor to the underlying fini_already_called_ flag. * ace/Service_Repository.cpp (find_i): Disallowed returning a service which fini() has been called upon. Wed Apr 7 11:30:09 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * bin/auto_compile: Added more tests to the script. Wed Apr 07 09:54:28 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: instead of trying to overwrite an existing symlink with ln -f, remove it first. Thanks to Keith Rohrer for reporting that Solaris' ln -f doesn't work. * ace/config-vxworks_5.x.h: added ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_MUTEXES. Thanks to Tom Venturella for suggesting this, because the VxWorks semaphores that ACE uses for mutexes are recursive. * ace/Synch.i (set_thread_id): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (t), with ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_MUTEXES. Wed Apr 07 09:37:34 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: disable warning 1016 when optimization is enabled. That gets rid of the "D:incint" warning about bzero in sys/select.h. * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: always use $(RM) instead of rm or rm -f in Makefiles. Wed Apr 07 02:42:50 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.35 released. Wed Apr 07 02:04:30 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.34 released. Tue Apr 6 21:09:32 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/ATM_Addr: Added the ATM_Addr.* files into the CVS respository. However, we're not going to enable this in the Makefile or project files until they are tested. Tue Apr 6 20:48:16 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/Basic_Types.h: Added max and min #defines for various ACE data types. Now, when using the ACE or ACE_CDR data types, we need not depend on the vagaries of limits.h and float. Tue Apr 6 20:39:01 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Log_Record.cpp (format_msg): * ace/Log_Record.cpp (print): Changed host_name[] to *host_name since null pointers were being passed into the host_name array. Strictly speaking, host_name should thus be a pointer, not an array. Also cleaned up ternary operator in format_msg() by parenthesizing some expressions. Tue Apr 6 20:19:23 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Makefile: Removed the ATM_Addr files until Joe can get them checked in. Tue Apr 06 19:36:24 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Active_Map_Manager.h (ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Key): Added a separate structure that holds the fields of the key. This separate structure makes it easier to manage copying the index and the generation to and from the user buffer. Tue Apr 6 16:07:29 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Synch.cpp (get_thread_id): If we have recursive mutexes then it's not possible to get the id of the thread that's currently holding the mutex. Thanks to David for reporting this. Tue Apr 6 15:50:14 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * docs/exceptions.html: Updated the documentation. Tue Apr 6 15:25:56 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/High_Res_Timer.{h,i,cpp}: On Win32, don't call calibrate if we cannot get the scale factor. Instead, just automatically fall back on ACE_OS::gettimeofday (). Also added another static variable to represent the conditions where the global scale factor is not set yet or high resolution timers are not supported. Tue Apr 06 15:14:29 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Basic_Types.h: added ACE_UINT64_LITERAL for platforms with ACE_LACKS_U_LONGLONG_T. * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp: added test of ACE_UINT64_LITERAL. Tue Apr 06 14:54:56 1999 Nanbor Wang * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (performance_test): * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp (producer): Unicode related change. * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp: Added Active_Map_Manager.cpp. * ace/OS.h: * ace/config-WinCE.h: CE now uses non-static object manager. * WindozeCE/WindozeCE.h: Instantiate the non-static object manager within the class. * WindozeCE/WindozeCEDlg.cpp: We should register the bridge window using its HANDLE so it would work no matter we build ACE with or without MFC support. Tue Apr 6 14:17:06 1999 Joe Hoffert * ace/OS.h: Added support for the FORE ATM XTI interface. * ace/TLI_{Acceptor,Connector}: Added support for the FORE ATM XTI interface. * ace/ATM_Addr: Added support for ATM address for the XTI ATM driver. Eventually, this class will be generalized to work on WinSock 2 ATM support, as well. Tue Apr 06 13:56:18 1999 Thomas Lockhart * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: added -f to ln -s commands, to force overwrite of old symlink. This eases moving of installed ACE code trees. Tue Apr 6 00:17:59 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ace/DLL {.h, .cpp} (set_handle): Added the set_handle () method which allows the user to set the ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE for the DLL. Thanks to Bob McWhirter for bringing up this point. Mon Apr 5 22:27:02 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h: Added #if !defined (ACE_HAS_NETDB_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS) #define ACE_LACKS_NETDB_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS #endif /* ACE_HAS_NETDB_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS */ to fix a problem with SGI 6.5. Thanks to Bob Laferrie for reporting this. Mon Apr 5 19:42:11 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: * m4/acinclude.m4: Created the macro ACE_CHECK_FOR_CVS_DIR to prevent the configure script from continuing the configuration if the current configuration directory is in a CVS controlled directory. The idea is to prevent automatically generated files from being checked into the repository. This will prevent accidental overwrites of ACE's current Makefiles by the automatically generated ones, for example. In addition, this should ease the transition from the current Makefile scheme to the new Auto{conf,make}/libtool scheme since the current Makefiles can remain under CVS control without the generate Makefiles interfering with them. Mon Apr 05 17:02:46 1999 David L. Levine * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (global_scale_factor ()): removed comment that said we use BogoMIPS on Linux/Intel. We only use it on Linux/alpha. Thanks to Thomas Lockhart for reporting this. Mon Apr 5 15:54:57 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/Profile_Timer.i: Removed ACE_OS::gettimeofday () calls from start and stop. Mon Apr 05 15:09:49 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h: removed second #include of netdb.h. Thanks to John H Aughey for reporting this. Mon Apr 05 14:17:31 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Trace.cpp: removed unnecessary (and complicated) #include of ace/ACE.h. Mon Apr 5 13:21:49 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/Proactor.cpp: (svc): * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: * ace/POSIX_Proactor.h: * ace/Proactor.h: * ace/Proactor_Impl.h: * ace/WIN32_Proactor.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Proactor.h: * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_timeout.cpp: Completed Timers implementation for POSIX platforms. Timers implementation is now common for POSIX and WIN32. Portable ACE_Auto_Event is used in the auxillary thread to wait for the Timer events. The Timer's code in WIN32 has been removed and the common code exists in Proactor.{h,cpp} only. A new factory method called create_asynch_timer has been created to create the Timer Result class. This is used internally by the Proactor to post timer completions to the Proactor completion queue. Application may want to use this directly to fake completions. Mon Apr 05 12:05:01 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.*,Thread_Manager.{h,cpp}: moved flags members from ACE_Thread_Descriptor to a new ACE_OS_Thread_Descriptor base class, to remove dependency of OS.cpp on Thread_Manager.h. Sun Apr 4 18:19:05 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Changed ANSI C++ cast test to fail on warnings. Currently, only g++ and Sun C++ warning/error conversion is supported. Moved the ACE_SET_COMPILER_FLAGS macro after the AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH calls so that user settings can influence what compiler flags get set. Removed some M4 comments (`dnl') that were inside of the template specialization test header block. The test was failing since `dnl' was being quoted by M4 and actually placed inside the test program source during test source compilation. Also corrected a typo in the same test. Changed test for ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION so that it attempts to link instead of just compile. Hopefully this will make the test "tougher." * m4/compiler.m4: Added `-features=castop' compiler flag and completed support for `-features=rtti' via `--enable-rtti'. These flags only work for Sun C++ 4.2. Added support for the `-noex' Sun C++ compiler flag when the user disables exception handling. * m4/platform.m4: Minor comment updates. Sat Apr 3 19:41:36 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/TTY_IO.cpp (control): Disabled support for higher baudrate for non-NT platforms. Sat Apr 3 19:37:07 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/TTY_IO.cpp (control): Added support for more modem speeds. Thanks to Valery Arkhangorodsky for reporting this. Sat Apr 3 17:02:48 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/*: Regenerated all the HTML to get the hyperlinks into the various headers. I'm sure somebody will let me know if I munged it all. * docs/tutorials/(019|020|021) : Finally made myself sit down and add Kirthika's last abstracts. Sat Apr 3 15:27:07 1999 Ossama Othman * Makefile.am * ace/Makefile.am * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile.am * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/Makefile.am * netsvcs/lib/Makefile.am * tests/Makefile.am Added targets to clean up files and directories created during compilation. Automake will setup the `clean-local' targets to run automatically whenever a `make clean' is done. Fri Apr 02 23:25:11 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release: added TAO/tao/Version.h. Thanks to Nanbor for suggesting this. * ace/OS.cpp: removed use of ACE_Array with WIN32 and TSS_EMULATION. In doing this, fixed an off-by-one error: ACE_TSS_Cleanup::remove () would try to remove key value "n" from an ACE_Array of size "n". Fri Apr 2 19:19:09 1999 Ossama Othman * bin/autogen: Update NEWS file by copying VERSION. Temporary hack to make Automake happy when doing a `make dist'. Fri Apr 2 18:37:29 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Placed the asynchronous IO checks right after the thread library checks. This was done to make sure the library with AIO support gets added to the link list before the rest of the tests start, and to make sure that it doesn't get added if AIO isn't supported or isn't working. * Makefile.am (ACE_EXTRA_DIST): Changed directory names to use `$(top_srcdir)' instead of the current directory `.'. This allows a distribution to be made from a directory other than ACE's top level source directory. * m4/compiler.m4: Explicitly add the `-xildoff' flag to Sun CC's LDFLAGS. This is just a precautionary measure. It shouldn't be needed. Fri Apr 2 12:41:09 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Containers_T.h (all of the classes listed below): * ace/Containers_T.i (ACE_Array): * ace/Containers_T.i (ACE_DLList): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Bounded_Stack): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Fixed_Stack): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Unbounded_Stack): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Unbounded_Queue): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Double_Linked_List): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Fixed_Set): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Bounded_Set): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Unbounded_Set): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Ordered_MultiSet): * ace/Handle_Set.h (ACE_Handle_Set): * ace/Handle_Set.i (ACE_Handle_Set): Changed assignment operators (operator=) to return a reference to `*this' so that assignments may be chained. Thu Apr 1 23:41:56 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Fixed write_array() to memcpy if doing a byte-swap and size = 1. Previously, it was falling through without writing anything. Thanks to Jerry De Master for pointing this out. Thu Apr 01 22:38:25 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.33 released. Thu Apr 01 21:09:00 1999 Irfan Pyarali * Sequence.h (TAO_Base_Sequence): Made the copy constructor and the assignment operator public since making them protected was breaking some compilers. * ace/Filecache.cpp (ACE_Filecache_Object): Fixed typo: should be . Thu Apr 1 19:41:26 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/IPC_SAP.h (ACE_IPC_SAP): * ace/SOCK.h (ACE_SOCK): * ace/SOCK_IO.h (ACE_SOCK_IO): * ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple.h (ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Barrier): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Event): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Guard): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Null_Mutex): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_RW_Mutex): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Semaphore): Reverted the changes that made these base class destructors virtual. They don't need to be virtual for the way they are being used. Thu Apr 01 19:01:20 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Containers.h (ACE_DLList_Node): * ace/Containers_T.h (ACE_Double_Linked_List_Iterator): * ace/Containers_T.h (ACE_Unbounded_Set_Iterator): * ace/Event_Handler.h (ACE_Event_Handler): * ace/Event_Handler.h (ACE_Notification_Buffer): * ace/Filecache.h (ACE_Filecache_Handle): * ace/Filecache.h (ACE_Filecache_Object): * ace/Local_Tokens.h (ACE_TPQ_Iterator): * ace/Local_Tokens.h (ACE_Token_Proxy): * ace/Local_Tokens.h (ACE_Token_Proxy_Queue): * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Name_Node): * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Static_Allocator_Base): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool_Options): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool_Options): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Countdown_Time): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Adapter): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Control): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Exit): * ace/Service_Object.h (ACE_Service_Type): * ace/Signal.h (ACE_Sig_Adapter): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Adaptive_Lock): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_TSS_Adapter): In some cases, classes with pointers *can* use the default copy constructor and the assignment operator. A more careful screening of the egcs -Weffc++ flag need to be done before a copy constructor and assignment operator can be considered harmful/dangerous. For now, the changes Ossama made have been reverted. * ace/Filecache.cpp (ACE_Filecache_Object): * ace/Signal.i (ACE_Sig_Action): * ace/OS.i (ACE_Time_Value): Removed default contruction of structs. Old g++ is broken. * ace/Filecache.cpp (ACE_Filecache_Object): Fixed incorrect initialization of . Thu Apr 1 16:22:18 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Containers_T.h (ACE_Unbounded_Set_Iterator): * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Unbounded_Set_Iterator): The signatures for the prefix and postfix operators were switched. Prefix operators take a void and return a a reference and postfix operators take an int and returns a copy. * ace/Containers.h (ACE_DLList_Node): * ace/Containers_T.h (ACE_Double_Linked_List_Iterator): * ace/Containers_T.h (ACE_Unbounded_Set_Iterator): * ace/Event_Handler.h (ACE_Event_Handler): * ace/Event_Handler.h (ACE_Notification_Buffer): * ace/Filecache.h (ACE_Filecache_Handle): * ace/Filecache.h (ACE_Filecache_Object): * ace/Local_Tokens.h (ACE_TPQ_Iterator): * ace/Local_Tokens.h (ACE_Token_Proxy): * ace/Local_Tokens.h (ACE_Token_Proxy_Queue): * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Name_Node): * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Static_Allocator_Base): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool_Options): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool): * ace/Memory_Pool.h (ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool_Options): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Countdown_Time): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Adapter): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Control): * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Exit): * ace/Service_Object.h (ACE_Service_Type): * ace/Signal.h (ACE_Sig_Adapter): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Adaptive_Lock): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_TSS_Adapter): Explicitly disallow use of implicitly generated copy constructor and assignment operator to prevent inadvertent memory leaks. * ace/Filecache.cpp (ACE_Filecache_Object): * ace/OS.i (ACE_Time_Value): * ace/Signal.i (ACE_Sig_Action): * ace/Signal.i (ACE_Sig_Guard): * ace/Signal.i (ACE_Sig_Set): * ace/Synch_T.i (ACE_Guard): Added base member initializers for class members that weren't initialized. Better style and helps avoid some warnings. * ace/IPC_SAP.h (ACE_IPC_SAP): * ace/SOCK.h (ACE_SOCK): * ace/SOCK_IO.h (ACE_SOCK_IO): * ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple.h (ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Barrier): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Event): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Guard): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Null_Mutex): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_RW_Mutex): * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Semaphore): Made base class destructor virtual to ensure that it gets called by derived class destructor. Thu Apr 1 13:31:56 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.{i,cpp}: Moved the destructors and a couple of short output CDR functions from .cpp to .i. Thu Apr 1 03:30:19 1999 Nanbor Wang * bin/tao_svcconf.pl: New perl script to help converting TAO's svc.conf file to use static services. Wed Mar 31 14:30:28 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h: Fixed mis-matched #endif comments. Thanks to Eric Eide for pointing this out. Thu Mar 31 14:30:20 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Message_Block_Test.cpp: updated some printouts. Wed Mar 31 10:46:31 1999 Steve Huston * ace/Message_Block_T.h: Add template arg to operator = definition for ACE_Locked_Data_Block<>. * ace/config-aix-4.x.h: Don't set _BSD for AIX 4.2 (or 4.3). Setting it works ok on AIX 4.2, but breaks TAO builds. Not setting it has caused no regressions on 4.2, and allows TAO to build more. Tue Mar 30 23:28:41 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Message_Block.cpp (init_i): This function was not releasing the old data block (if was non-zero). Fixed this problem and avoided the memory leak. Thanks to Sangwoo Jin for reporting this leak. Also changed the constructors to set to zero. * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (receiver): Fixed hacked use of init() to prevent memory leak. The new init_i() fixes the leak. Tue Mar 30 23:24:02 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: * m4/features.m4: * m4/threads.m4: Updated several library checks to use a single call of my re/implementation of the new autoconf AC_SEARCH_LIBS test instead of having several AC_CHECK_LIB calls in a row. Nice! The thread detection tests were overhauled. They are now simpler but retain the same functionality as the previous tests. They were greatly reduced in size so debugging, updating and enhancing should be much easier now. * m4/acinclude.m4: Reimplemented Autoconf's AC_SEARCH_LIBS into ACE_SEARCH_LIBS. The functionality is the same but the ACE reimplementation actually works when C++ is the test language. For some reason Autoconf's test isn't being generated properly by GNU M4. Tue Mar 30 22:04:49 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added definition of ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_PRIORITY as 0. Thanks to John Morey for reporting this. Tue Mar 30 21:31:01 1999 David L. Levine * Makefile (RELEASE_LIB_FILES): added bin/ and etc/. Thanks to John Lindal for reporting that the ACE library Makefile needs bin/ace_components. Tue Mar 30 18:49:58 1999 Darrell Brunsch * bin/make_release: Added .ico to binary file types. Tue Mar 30 12:23:23 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.32 released. Tue Mar 30 11:03:31 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Adaptive_Lock): Clarified a comment about how to define a constructor in a subclass that initializes the lock_. Thanks to Michael Kircher for reporting this. Tue Mar 30 10:37:43 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/OS.i (getpwnam_r): Added patch contributed by Roland Gigler for getpwnam_r on SCO UnixWare 7. Mon Mar 29 20:22:44 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: * m4/features.m4: Added new M4 macro include file, and moved asynchronous IO tests to `m4/features.m4'. The asynchronous IO tests were improved by making them run-time tests. Cross-compiled platforms will fall back to a compile-time test. Thanks to Alex for providing run-time tests. The tests are based on his AIO tests found in the examples/Reactor/Proactor directory. Sun Mar 28 18:02:54 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Enabled the C++ libtool support mentioned below. Removed all references to CXXCPPFLAGS since the CPPFLAGS variable is used by autoconf for both C and C++. * ltconfig: Added my experimental libtool C++ support. The hacks I made allow it to build C++ shared libraries. * m4/acinclude.m4: * m4/threads.m4: Renamed some variables. Namespace pollution was breaking most of the tests. Sun Mar 28 12:20:44 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h: * ace/CORBA_macros.h: Moved ACE_NEW_THROW* and ACE_GUARD_THROW* macros from OS.h to CORBA_macros.h. Also added ACE_*GUARD_THROW_EX which has the new ACE try macros semantics. CORBA_macros.h needs to include "OS.h" to source in the correct platform configuration macros. Sun Mar 28 13:27:15 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * docs/exceptions.html: Added a new example Fri Mar 26 23:35:28 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Added ACE_NEEDS_SCHED_H. * ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h: * ace/config-irix6.x-kcc.h: * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h: * ace/OS.h: Reverted changes about ACE_LASKS_SCHED_H. * ace/config-dgux-4.x-ghs.h: * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h: * ace/README: * ace/OS.h: Renamed ACE_LACKS_SCHED_H with ACE_NEEDS_SCHED_H to refect what it really means. The original name was quite confusing. Fri Mar 26 18:16:25 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h: * ace/config-irix6.x-kcc.h: * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h: There is no need to explicitly include or to define ACE_LACKS_SCHED_H the file is present in IRIX 6.4. Fri Mar 26 17:57:25 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Defined cuserid as an extern "C" function. * ace/OS.h: should only be included when !defined (ACE_LACKS_SCHED_H). Thanks to Eric Eide for sending the patch. Fri Mar 26 17:12:21 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/Profile_Timer.{h,i,cpp}: On Win32 platforms that support RUsage, Profile_Timer will use both that and High Resolution Timers for measurements. Depending on the method, one or the other will be used. Fri Mar 26 17:02:00 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Improved ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD test so that it works for platforms that support the `using' keyword but don't have the `std' namespace. Updated ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION test so that it works for compilers that require the "template<>" syntax for specialization. Improved ACE_HAS_ONLY_SCHED_OTHER by checking for run time errors when a thread scheduling policy other than SCHED_OTHER is set. Thanks to David for suggesting this modification. * m4/acinclude.m4: Added support for converting warnings to errors for Sun C++. * m4/threads.m4: Added test to check if `-Kthread' compiler flag enables thread support. SCO UnixWare 7 uses this flag. Fri Mar 26 07:21:33 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp (handle_input): wrapped final return statement with ACE_NOTREACHED. Thu Mar 25 20:16:49 1999 Darrell Brunsch * bin/make_release: I wasn't using $bin_files for the ACE+TAO.zip creation, so now that is fixed. Thanks to Greg Ross for pointing this out. Thu Mar 25 16:31:27 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.h: Added new macros for byte swapping, this are rather evil. They add the correct padding to use a single long to represent a short or char, but in such a way that the first bytes of the long contain the required data. Nobody should need that, but the IDL compiler does. Thu Mar 25 16:25:46 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Added test for ACE_HAS_BROKEN_MAP_FAILED. * ace/OS.h: Added __USLC__ to list of macros in the conditional that keeps the compiler from complaining about parameters which are not used. This is needed for the C++ compiler on SCO UnixWare 7. Thanks to Roland for letting me know about this. Thu Mar 25 14:55:37 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp: print out ACE version information even with ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS. Thu Mar 25 13:52:57 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp (handle_input): This code wasn't entirely correct. Well actually, I think where was some change in the semantics of Windows. Previously, once the handle was close, it seems that the application still got notified if there was data on the socket. With WinNT SP4, it seems that once the handle was closed, no additional FD_READs were issued by the OS, even if data was available on the socket. In ACE, both FD_READ and FD_CLOSE get mapped to handle_input(). The way to know when the connection was closed is to do a recv() in handle_input() and check for a zero return. When told of new data, the old code in handle_input() only did one recv() of BUFSIZ bytes. If there was more than BUFSIZ bytes of data on the socket, there would be some data left on the socket. Hence, when notified of FD_CLOSE, it did another recv() which succeeded, and handle_input() never returned -1, making the test hang. The change made was to make handle_input() call recv() until EWOULDBLOCK occurs (note that the socket is in non-blocking mode). Hence, when FD_CLOSE occurred, the socket did not have any data left, recv() returned 0 and handle_input() returned -1, which finally closed the test down correctly. Thu Mar 25 13:13:51 1999 Ossama Othman * Makefile.am (ACE.ifnames): Placed rule generation of ACE.ifnames within a MAINTAINER_MODE automake conditional. If a `--enable-maintainer-mode' option isn't given on the configure script command line then don't generate a new `ACE.ifnames' file. * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE so that maintainer level Makefile features are disabled by default. * acconfig.h: * ace/OS.h: * ace/README: Added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_MAP_FAILED macro for platforms that do not cast MAP_FAILED to a (void *). Defining this macro prevents compilers on those platforms from complaining about assigning an int to a (void *). Thanks to Roland Gigler for providing feedback about this. Thu Mar 25 11:30:44 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * docs/exceptions.html: Corrected a couple of links... Thu Mar 25 01:04:00 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Added ACE_DEFAULT_TEMP_DIR_ENV to be "TEMP" for WIN32 and "TMP" for Unix. Wed Mar 24 18:30:18 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * performance-tests/TTCP/ACE-C++/wrapper-new-ttcp.cpp: Added a new version of this program that fixes a number of bugs with the old one. Thanks to Hao Ruan for these fixes. Wed Mar 24 15:31:27 1999 Darrell Brunsch * High_Res_Timer.cpp: * High_Res_Timer.h: * OS.i: Changed the implementation of the High Resolution Timer on Win32 to use QueryPerformanceCounter instead of assembly code. The docs also say that this is MP-safe. Thanks to Gregory D. Fee for suggesting this. * Profile_Timer.cpp: * Profile_Timer.h: * Profile_Timer.i: Now uses the High Res Timer on Win32 instead of rusage. Wed Mar 24 14:36:12 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_PREALLOCATE_OBJECT): Initialized obj_p to zero to make egcs happy. Wed Mar 24 13:23:36 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: removed note about building netsvcs before running the one-button test on WIN32. Thanks to Nanbor for hacking run_tests.bat :-) Wed Mar 24 13:16:17 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/WFMO_Reactor.i (handler): * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (handler_i): Made sure we can safely pass out the event handler before we do so. Thanks to Michael Preobrazhensky for reporting this. * tests/run_tests.bat: Do not run Time_Service_Test if netsvcs/servers/main.exe doesn't exist. Thanks to Jeffrey_Franks@i-o.com for reporting the problem and David for suggesting the fix. Wed Mar 24 12:47:56 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note to build netsvcs on Win32 before running run_tests.bat. Thanks to Jeff Franks for suggesting this. Wed Mar 24 06:53:57 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): SunOS 5.7 allows thread priority of 0, so we no longer need to work around that. Tue Mar 23 22:49:15 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Added a test for ACE_NEEDS_DEV_IO_CONVERSION. Tue Mar 23 22:29:20 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.7.h: undef ACE_HAS_ONLY_SCHED_OTHER, because other scheduling policies are supported by SunOS 5.7. Thanks to Ossama and autoconf for noticing this. Tue Mar 23 20:42:44 1999 Ossama Othman * tests/Cache_Manager_Test.cpp (main): Added missing ACE_START_TEST and ACE_END_TEST macros. * m4/threads.m4: Modified UNIX International threads check to include check for rwlock_destroy() in -lthread since thr_create() was found without explicitly linking to -lthread on Solaris 2.5.1. rwlock_destroy() should be found only by linking to -lthread which will cause the configure script to add -lthread to the library link list. Tue Mar 23 16:25:39 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-subsets.html: added FOR_TAO subset sizes. Tue Mar 23 15:15:20 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Map_Manager.{i,cpp} (ACE_Map_Iterator_Base::operator*): Moved this function to .cpp file to avoid compilation problem on SunOS 5.6 with SunCC 4.2. Once we know a patch that will fix the problem, we should move it back to .i file again. Thanks to James Megquier for reporting the problem. Tue Mar 23 14:56:58 1999 Ossama Othman * acconfig.h: * configure.in: * ace/OS.h: * ace/TLI.cpp: * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: Removed all references to ACE_HAS_BROKEN_T_ERRNO and removed the definition of the _terrno() function from TLI.cpp since it isn't a standard TLI function (at least not the Steven's books that I've read). This also fixes a problem on Solaris that was causing an autoconfigured build of TLI.cpp to fail. * ace/Makefile.am: Make sure template source files get installed for all cases. Previously, they only got installed if the template source is required by the compiler. However, they are still needed by compilers that don't explicitly require template sources to be included in a file that references them. * configure.in: Fixed the test for ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SOURCE. Thanks to Carlos for his help on this. Removed the test for ACE_HAS_BROKEN_T_ERRNO since it is no longer needed due to the above change. * README: Added Konstantinos Margaritis to the ACE contributor list. Tue Mar 23 12:57:40 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp: Split off the logging to an ostream from the logging for STDERR. Thanks to Bill Rizzi (rizzi@softserv.com) for pointing out this problem. * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp: Changed the default from ACE_STDOUT to ACE_STDERR to be consistent. Thanks to Bill Rizzi (rizzi@softserv.com) for pointing out the problem. Tue Mar 23 12:06:04 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h (ACE_THROW_SPEC): Added prgama to disable reporting warning 4290 on MSVC. MSVC "supports" the exception specification but doesn't provide an implementation for it. Instead, it warns you the specification is ignored. Mon Mar 22 21:34:06 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_g++.GNU: use -m uname option instead of -i, because GNU uname doesn't support -i. Mon Mar 22 18:59:55 1999 Steve Huston * ace/NT_Service.cpp (state): Changed the (DWORD *, ACE_Time_Value *) version to reliably return -1 on any error. Thanks to Martin Krumpolec for keeping me honest here, and for sending in better code. Mon Mar 22 14:16:04 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp} (cleanup_tss): added tss_close (), to enable deleting the native key on program termination. That's not implemented yet, because it requires a separate ACE_OS::thr_keyfree (ACE_OS_thread_key_t). * ace/OS.cpp (fini), README, ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h: removed ACE_FINI_HOOK support. It wasn't helping. Mon Mar 22 11:14:16 1999 Ossama Othman * Makefile.am: Various minor updates. * configure.in: * m4/platform.m4 Moved known platform specific macro checks from `configure.in' to `platform.m4'. * tests/Makefile.am: Updated to build the DLL_Test shared library. Support for the test is still broken (my fault :). * aclocal.m4: * configure: These are automatically generated so they shouldn't be under CVS control. I Removed them from the CVS repository. Mon Mar 22 09:42:26 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-subsets.html: added current status section. Mon Mar 22 01:04:23 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.cpp (free_all_keys_left): Changed to remove left-over keys using TlsFree on Win32. We can't use ACE_OS::thr_keyfree here because it tries to update the TSS in_use_ information which has already been deleted at this point. (cleanup_tss): Uncommented free_all_keys_left. Sun Mar 21 21:26:46 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release: fixed error status when building ACE+TAO. Thanks to Doug for reporting this. Sun Mar 21 21:16:02 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.31 released. Sun Mar 21 20:45:57 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.30 released. Sun Mar 21 18:39:16 1999 Ossama Othman * ACE.ifnames: Updated with new macro list. * Makefile.am: Added the m4 directory to the distribution list and made some minor updates. * ace/Makefile.am: * m4/subsets.m4: Subsetting updates/corrections. * configure.in: Added work around for buggy glibc2.1 when including both and . Added check for auto_ptr class declaration since some platforms have but may not declare the auto_ptr class. Shortened some of the "checking" messages. * ace-config.1.in: ace-config script man page template * aceConf.sh.in: ace-config "unknown" library script Added these files to the CVS repository. * config.guess: * config.sub: * ltconfig: * ltmain.sh: Updated these files to the ones in the latest libtool. * libtool: Removed this since it is automatically generated for each platform. It shouldn't be under CVS control. Sun Mar 21 17:59:22 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Fixed a problem with ACE_OutputCDR::write_octet_array_mb, thanks to Dave Meyer for isolating and reporting this bug again [it was fixed in TAO and somehow it crept to the ACE version of the CDR classes]. Sun Mar 21 17:42:08 1999 Ossama Othman * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (handle_logging_record): Use ACE_NTOHL macro instead of system ntohl() to get around bug in egcs-2.91.6x. Sun Mar 21 16:07:24 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/config-g++-common.h (ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD): Define ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD for egcs 1.1.x. Sun Mar 21 09:44:30 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: don't test ACE_Singleton creation during static construction if ACE_HAS_PURIFY is enabled, because it notices the memory-in-use. * examples/Naming/Makefile: changed SRC to PSRC. * examples/Naming/Makefile,performance-tests/Misc/Makefile, tests/Makefile: Use ace_components instead of the current ACE_COMPONENTS setting to determine what should be built. Sat Mar 20 19:10:37 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Connector.h: * ace/Connector.cpp: * ace/Strategies_T.h: * ace/Strategies_T.cpp: Added new methods to the ACE_Connector, ACE_Strategy_Connector, ACE_Connect_Strategy and ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy. The motivation for this new method is a bit convoluted: In TAO we store the Svc_Handler returned from connect() as a hint for later Cached_Connector lookups. But the location where we store it could be shared between multiple threads. To minimize the number of locks this hint is only modified and examined by the Cached_Connector, while the lock in the connection map is beign held. The problem arises when the hint is returned: another thread could try to use the same hint location, detect that the hint is in use and replace it before the thread that just requested the object has a chance to read the hint value. The solution is to use two variables: one is the hint location, carefully protected by the Cached_Connector lock, the other is a variable in the thread stack, they return the same thing, but the second variable is not affected by changes done by other threads. In short: we addeda connect() method that takes two arguments, the first is just intented to update the cached connector hint, the second is where the real connection gets returned. * tests/Makefile: David discovered that using SRC to list the sources does not work under some platforms. But using PSRC does. Sat Mar 20 15:51:14 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Added tests for: ACE_HAS_BROKEN_NAMESPACES ACE_HAS_BROKEN_CONVERSIONS ACE_HAS_BROKEN_CONDITIONAL_STRING_CASTS ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_CONDATTR_SETKIND_NP ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_SETKIND_NP ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_PROCESS_ENUM Added some minor updates and corrections. Sat Mar 20 09:06:10 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp: changed index () to slot_index () and generation () to slot_generation (), to correspond to Active_Map_Manager interface change. * examples/ASX/Message_Queue/Makefile: changed LSRC to PSRC. * ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: removed complex support from ACE_Object_Manager for cleanup of some ACE_Singleton locks during static construction/destruction, only. The affected lock types are ACE_Thread_Mutex, ACE_Mutex, and ACE_RW_Thread_Mutex. ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex and ACE_Null_Mutex will still be cleaned up if used to create ACE_Singletons during static construction/destruction. As noted in ace/Singleton.h, those are the best type of locks to use with ACE_Singleton, anyways. This support was tricky to get right, and increased the size of the Object_Manager object file by 46 to 59 percent. Now, if ACE_Singletons are created during static construction or destruction, with either an ACE_Thread_Mutex, ACE_Mutex, or ACE_RW_Thread_Mutex lock, those locks will be dynamically allocated and leaked. Sat Mar 20 02:03:53 1999 Ossama Othman * acinclude.m4: Split acinclude.m4 into several M4 macro files and moved those files into the new `m4' subdirectory, includind acinclude.m4. * m4/acinclude.m4: * m4/compiler.m4: * m4/subsets.m4: * m4/threads.m4: Added these M4 files. * bin/autogen: Script to regenerate auto{conf,make} and libtool related files. Additional functionality may be added to this script in the future. * Makefile.am: * ace/Makefile.am: * apps/gperf/src/Makefile.am: * apps/gperf/tests/Makefile.am: * apps/gperf/Makefile.am: * apps/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Logger/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/collection/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/deadlock/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/invariant/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/mutex/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/rw_lock/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/clients/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/lib/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/servers/Makefile.am: * netsvcs/Makefile.am: * man/man3/Makefile.am: ( NOT ADDED YET ) * man/Makefile.am: ( NOT ADDED YET ) * tests/log/Makefile.am: * tests/Makefile.am: Added Automake makefile templates for ACE. * configure.in: * m4/subsets.m4: * ace/Makefile.am: Added support for David's ACE subsetting work. Fri Mar 19 23:36:37 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Active_Map_Manager.h (ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Key): Changed method index() to slot_index() and generation() to slot_generation(). These changes were motivated by the OpenEdition platform/compiler, which defines a macro called index(). Also, changed the type of and from u_long to ACE_UINT32 to get consistent size across platforms. Fri Mar 19 22:50:19 1999 David L. Levine * bin/ace_ld: inserted ^['"]? at beginning of patterns that check for -l and -L, to make sure they're at the beginning of arguments. Thanks to Henric Jungheim for suggesting this. * tests/Makefile: removed SRC, because it caused link problems on DU 4.0. Fri Mar 19 18:56:26 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * Fixed several makefiles that did not have a SRC or LSRC variable defined. * Re-generated the dependencies for both ACE and TAO, this time on a platform that includes the template code. * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: Now we can run make depend inside a build directory. Removed any $(ACE_ROOT)/ace/config*.h files from the dependency list, those are not used. Fri Mar 19 18:05:27 1999 Ossama Othman * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (handle_logging_record): Reverted change that was thought to work around egcs compiler bug. The call to ntohl() within the templates still causes the compiler to complain. Fri Mar 19 17:31:57 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Fixed silly error in the InputCDR constructor taking an ACE_Message_Block. Fri Mar 19 15:41:30 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added CE fix. Fri Mar 19 15:03:54 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR_Stream.h: * ace/CDR_Stream.i: * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Changed CDR to ACE_CDR. Fixed ACE_InputCDR constructor when receiving a linked list of Message_Blocks. * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Added a test for the constructor above. Fri Mar 19 10:29:17 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Singleton.cpp (instance): removed at_exit () calls from both ACE_Singleton and ACE_TSS_Singleton, only when the ACE_Object_Manager hasn't started or has already shutdown. In those cases, the singletons will leak. * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (ACE_Object_Manager ctor), ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_Object_Manager ctor): allow newer instances to overwrite older ones, in case an application #defines ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER and uses the Object_Manager during construction of static objects. * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: added test of ACE_Singleton creation during construction of static objects. Timeprobes can do that, when they're enabled. * ace/OS.cpp (fini), README: added ACE_FINI_HOOK support. Applications can #define ACE_FINI_HOOK to any executable code, and it will be executed on program termination. * ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h: with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION, #define ACE_FINI_HOOK to insert a one-second sleep at program termination. It's necessary to avoid occasional segfaults of unknown origin, but they appear to be in the LinuxThreads library. * bin/ace_components: added. It is used to record/access which components were built into the ACE library. See next entry for files that have been updated to use it. * ace/Makefile,tests/Makefile,tests/run_tests.sh: use ace_components to record which components are in the ACE library. Suppress build/run of tests that use Token and Other. * netsvcs/{clients,servers}/Makefile: use ace_components instead of the current ACE_COMPONENTS setting to determine what should be built. Fri Mar 19 03:24:34 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Singleton.cpp (instance): Commented out the call to ACE_Object_Manager::at_exit(). Currently, this is causing multiple instances of ACE_Object_Manager to get created, and hence causing all sorts of problems. * ace/OS.cpp (cleanup_tss): Removed the call to free_all_keys_left() (WIN32 only), because it causes segmentation faults at shutdown. Fri Mar 19 00:15:21 1999 Nanbor Wang The following changes are specific to WindowsCE. They are required to remove MFC dependency from CE port. Thanks to Eric Covington for motivating this. * ace/config-WinCE.h: We no longer enfoce the use of MFC with ACE CE port anymore. * ace/config-win32-common.h: When not using MFC, CE needs to include and explicitly. * ace/Log_Record.cpp (print): * ace/OS.{h,cpp} (ACE_CE_Bridge): Changed to use HWND to record target window handle instead of CWnd. Also, we stop passing output string in a CString anymore. The string is now created using ACE_OS::strdup and must be released by the target window using ACE_OS::free.. A small smart pointer class will be added later. Notice that if you used ACE CE port before, the wParam can no longer be casted to a CString*, it should be casted to LPTSTR now. * WindozeCE/WindozeCEDlg.cpp: should be casted to LPTSTR and it should be freed using ACE_OS::free. * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp: CE programs (or DLL only?) not using MFC must specify all libraries used by the program, even msvcrt. Thu Mar 18 22:21:39 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: changed ACE_QUOTE to '"', instead of "", on win32 hosts. "" just evaporates to nothing; we really need one double quote. Thanks to Hans Rohnert for verifying this. Thu Mar 18 18:49:32 1999 Marina Spivak * ace/SString.i (compare): fixed the function to work properly in case strings have different lenghts. * ace/SString.cpp: fixed code to gracefully handle failed memory allocations. * ace/SString.h: added comments about strings with release=0, not necessarily being null terminated. Thu Mar 18 14:31:29 1999 Steve Huston * tests/DLL_Test.cpp: Use the new DLL_Test.h file that contains the class defs - needed for AIX xlC. This should have been done with the Mar 15 changes but slipped through the cracks. * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Added support for building HP-UX 11 distributions with both 32 and 64 bits. * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp (Client_Handler::open): Changed arg name to void_acceptor to avoid redefining it inside the function. * docs/tutorials/007/client_acceptor.cpp (Client_Acceptor(Thread_Pool&) Fixed initialization of concurrency_. * docs/tutorials/018/Test_T.cpp (open): Fix ACE_UNUSED_ARG(arg). * ace/Message_Queue.h (ACE_Message_Queue_Base): Removed "= 0" from ~ACE_Message_Queue_Base. AIX xlC warns that pure virtual dtor needs an out-of-line definition to be a base of another class. There is already a definition for the dtor in Message_Queue.i. Thu Mar 18 14:30:04 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.i (timezone): Removed the leading '::' to cope with VC 5. Thanks to Lan Yaolong for reporting this. Wed Mar 17 17:23:43 1999 Vishal Kachroo * ace/OS.i (timezone): Added support for timezone () on CHORUS Wed Mar 17 14:06:24 1999 Ossama Othman * acconfig.h: Some characters got removed so I put them back. Wed Mar 17 13:59:42 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: * acconfig.h: Added autoconf check for rename() system call. Wed Mar 17 07:55:38 1999 Nanbor Wang * include/makeinclude/platform_freebsd_pthread.GNU: Made some adjustment for building ELF executables which are the default on FreeBSD 3 and above. I'll incoporate Russell's LinuxThread change later. Wed Mar 17 13:36:32 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release: return non-zero exit status on failure. Wed Mar 17 12:47:04 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Config.cpp (open_i): Also delete the parse buffer before exiting the function for it is no longer needed. We still need to deallocate the buffer at close method to prevent the case when uses manipulate Service_Config directly using process_directives. Wed Mar 17 12:33:35 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.i: Reenabed ACE_OS::rename() and we'll see which platforms need to have ACE_LACKS_RENAME. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for reporting this. Wed Mar 17 10:46:26 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Message_Block.i (space): Moved ACE_Message_Block::space() after inline declarations of ACE_Message_Block::end() and ACE_Message_Block::wr_ptr() to prevent "used before it was declared inline" warnings on end() and wr_ptr(). Wed Mar 17 10:24:26 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (argv_to_string): initialized temp to 0 to avoid warnings from VxWorks g++. ace/OS.i (strenvdup): initialized temp to 0 to avoid warnings from VxWorks g++. Thanks to Hans Rohnert for reporting these. * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU (RANLIB): replaced /bin/true with @true, to avoid build warning on NT hosts. Thanks to Hans Rohnert for reporting this. Wed Mar 17 09:58:43 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Svc_Conf.l (yy_delete_parse_buffer): Added a check for NULL to avoid freeing buffers multiple times. Thanks to Tom Arbuckle for this fix and to Nanbor for noticing the problem in the first place! Wed Mar 17 08:30:58 1999 David L. Levine * ACE version 4.6.29 released. Wed Mar 17 03:12:43 1999 James C. Hu * ace/Message_Block.i: Changed the definition of space () to be something more useful than it was. Thanks to Bill Rizzi (rizzi@softserv.com) for pointing out the problem. * ace/Cache_*: Removed by popular decree. Can be found in JAWS/PROTOTYPE. Wed Mar 17 03:06:20 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Config.cpp (close): Re-enabled cleaning up the lex buffer. * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp (ace_yy_delete_parse_buffer): We should not remove uninitialize buffer. Tue Mar 16 19:48:57 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Makefile and tests/Makefile: Reverted these files to the pre-Cache_Manager state. The Cache_Manager files don't compile on g++ and vxworks and we need to make a release now. * ace/Map_T.h (class ACE_Noop_Key_Generator): Added new class. This class makes it easy to use the map adapters when you don't care about generating new keys. Tue Mar 16 11:36:41 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: FreeBSD 2.2 and above also support threads, but siginfo_t is only supported on FreeBSD 3.0 and above. Thanks to Goldshtain Dmitry for pointing these out. Tue Mar 16 16:46:04 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Hash_Bucket_T.h: added class to friend ACE_Hash_Bucket_DLCStack_Iterator declaration. Tue Mar 16 16:35:39 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: never use TRUE, true, FALSE, false, etc. Tue Mar 16 15:58:07 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Config.cpp (close): Don't call the ace_yy_delete_parse_buffer for now. It is causing access violation. Tue Mar 16 15:15:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/ACE.{cpp, i} ace/OS.{cpp, h, i} ace/FIFO.cpp ace/Log_Record.cpp ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp ace/SPIPE_Connector.cpp ace/TLI_Acceptor.cpp ace/config-psos-diab-mips.h (new) ace/config-psos-diab.h ace/config-psos-tm.h ace/streams.h: integrated pSOS/MIPS changes into ACE. Thanks to Jaepil Kim (jpkim@lgsoft.com) for completing the ACE pSOS port for the MIPS platform, and for sending these modifications. Tue Mar 16 14:25:03 1999 Steve Huston * ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces, count_interfaces, get_bcast_addr): On AIX, use CSIOCGIFCONF instead of SIOCGIFCONF to retrieve interface information. Thanks to Eric Newton for figuring this out. Tue Mar 16 12:20:53 1999 Balachandran Natarajan * ace/Service_Config.h (ACE_Service_Config): Added documentation for the parse_args () method. This was in request to Bill Rizzi . Tue Mar 16 10:57:46 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Svc_Conf.l: Added a new method ace_yy_delete_parse_buffer() that frees up FLEX buffers when the program is done. Thanks to Tom Arbuckle for this fix. * examples/ASX/Message_Queue/buffer_stream.cpp (main): Changed pm to cm and vice versa to be consistent. Thanks to Rainer Blome for reporting this. Tue Mar 16 10:50:42 1999 Steve Huston * include/makeinclude/platform_aix4_cset++.GNU: New file to cover all AIX 4.x versions with the C Set++ (xlC) compiler. * include/makeinclude/platform_aix.GNU, platform_aix4.2.GNU: These files are deprecated; they simply include the new file above, platform_aix4_cset++.GNU. Tue Mar 16 10:38:35 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Hash_Bucket_T.cpp: Removed default parameter declaration from the constructor for ACE_Hash_Bucket_Manager definition. Default parameter declarations can only show up in the function declaration. Tue Mar 16 10:25:53 1999 Steve Huston * ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h, config-aix-4.2.x.h: These now simply include config-aix-4.x.h. All further changes for any AIX 4.x version should go in config-aix-4.x.h. Tue Mar 16 08:12:54 1999 Steve Huston * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: In thread_within(ACE_thread_t), replaced use of '==' with ACE_OS::thr_equal. In hthread_within (ACE_hthread_t), replaced use of '==' with ACE_OS::thr_cmp. Thanks very much to Peter Windle for pointing this out. * README: Added Peter Windle to the list of distinguished contributors. Tue Mar 16 03:05:22 1999 James Hu * ace/Cache_Hash_T.{cpp,h}: * ace/Cache_Heap_T.{cpp,h}: * ace/Cache_List_T.{cpp,h}: * ace/Cache_Manager.{cpp,h}: * ace/Cache_Manager_T.{cpp,h}: * ace/Cache_Object.{cpp,h}: * ace/Hash_Bucket_T.{cpp,h}: Incorporated fixes from purify and benchmarking sessions at Entera. Cosmetic changes coming soon (documentation strings and removal of magic numbers). * ace/Makefile: Added above files to Makefile. * ace/OS.i: FreeBSD does not support the timezone() function as documented by Vishal below. Using Chris Gill's implementation for LynxOS. * tests/Makefile: * tests/Cache_Manager_Test.cpp: Added this test to illustrate Cache_Manager. Still needs changes to use ACE_DEBUG instead of cerr. Mon Mar 15 19:05:22 1999 Steve Huston * ace/config-aix-4.x.h: New config file that covers all of the AIX 4.x versions with C Set++ (xlC) and g++. Many thanks to Susan Liebeskind for doing to port to AIX 4.3 and testing, providing needed changes! * ace/OS.i (wait): Fixed to handle ACE_HAS_UNION_WAIT case correctly, without depending on AIX - thanks to Susan Liebeskind for this too! * ace/ACE.cpp (fork, with zombie avoidance): Fixed to work right with ACE_HAS_UNION_WAIT (ala AIX 4.2). * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: New template instantiation scheme for AIX with C Set++ (xlC); goes with... * etc/xlc_dummy.cpp: New file, purpose of which is to help with AIX xlC template instantiation. This is the new, improved method from IBM suport. It still generates a zillion duplicate definition warnings, but IBM doesn't have any better solution. * include/makeinclude/platform_aix4.2.GNU: This will work with both AIX 4.2 and 4.3 now. I'll take care of the naming soon. * tests/Map_Test.(cpp h): Moved template defs to new file, Map_Test.h to satisfy AIX xlC. Thanks to Susan for this too. * tests/DLL_Test.(cpp h): Moved template defs to new file, DLL_Test.h to satisfy AIX xlC. * tests/Makefile, Makefile.DLL: Fixed to build libDLL_Test correctly on AIX w/ xlC. * tests/run_tests.sh: Sets LIBPATH correctly for AIX (4.2 at least). Mon Mar 15 00:26:31 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * netsvcs/ACE-netsvcs.html: Updated this to document the current version. Thanks to Bill Rizzi for reporting this. * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp: Make sure that debug messages go to stderr and log messages go to stdout. Thanks to Bill Rizzi for reporting this. * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (fini): Oops, fixed a minor buglet with return values. Thanks to David for reporting this. * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (send): Added a check to make sure we don't crash if the ostream is NULL. Thanks to Bill Rizzi for reporting this. Sun Mar 14 22:54:41 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (init): Added an ACE_OS::unlink() to prevent STREAM pipes from getting confused if this application doesn't shutdown gracefully. Thanks to Bill Rizzi for reporting this. Sun Mar 14 19:51:25 1999 Ossama Othman * configure.in: Added real-time support library `-lrt' check to asynchronous IO functions/libraries checks. GNU glibc 2.1 adds support for the POSIX 1b real-time specification in the library `librt'. The POSIX asynchronous IO functions may be found in that library. Currently, `-lpthread' must also be linked to in addition to `-lrt'. Sun Mar 14 17:20:09 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Log_Msg: Generalized the enable_debug_messages() and disable_debug_messages() methods so they can be used to enable or disable arbitrary priorities. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for suggesting this. Sun Mar 14 14:46:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/OS.i (tzset,timezone): pSOS doesn't support these two functions. * ace/OS.{cpp, h}: added comments clarifying usage for ACE_Time_Value::max_time, use of ACE_PSOS_TM in ACE_OS::signal (). Sun Mar 14 01:30:43 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.i (tzset,timezone): WinCE doesn't support these two functions. Sat Mar 13 12:14:34 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Thread_Manager: Changed the following methods: int task_list (..) int thread_list (...) int hthread_list (..) int thread_grp_list (...) int hthread_grp_list (...) to return actual number of fetched values. * ace/Thread_Manager: Added two new methods, task_all_list() and thread_all_list(), which return lists of all the tasks and threads in a Thread_Manager, respectively. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for contributing this. * ace/Shared_Memory_{MM,SV}.h: Clarified the relationship of these classes to the more powerful ACE_Malloc<> abstraction. Thanks to Ti Z for suggesting this. Sat Mar 13 13:27:55 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.i (timezone,tzset): not supported on VxWorks. * include/makeinclude/ platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added suppression of msg 1180, statement causes unreachble return, with cxx 6.2 and later. It doesn't like ACE_OSCALL_RETURN and ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN, though it seems to be going overboard. The warnings appeared with cxx 6.2-009. If someone uses 6.2-007, they might have to manually remove the 1180 suppression. * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-fancy.cpp (handle_events), C-inserver.cpp (main), netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (handle_logging_record), apps/Gateway/Gateway/Concrete_Connection_Handlers.cpp (svc): replaced NOTREACHED comment with ACE_NOTREACHED macro. DU cxx started complaining about the unreached return statement. Sat Mar 13 16:16:13 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/021: Added some comments to page04 about the template parameters and the use of the ACE_LOCK parameter in particular. (Thanks to Bala for the suggestion.) Sat Mar 13 00:37:17 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.28 released. Fri Mar 12 20:17:47 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Select_Reactor_Base.cpp (handle_input): * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (handle_signal): Added support for dispatching QOS_MASK and GROUP_QOS_MASK. Fri Mar 12 19:13:11 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.i: Implemented ACE_OS::timezone() for LynxOS. Fri Mar 12 16:31:19 1999 Ossama Othman * ACE-INSTALL.html (Linux): added note about non-thread safe glibc 2.0 dynamic loader. The dynamic loader in glibc 2.1 is thread safe. Fri Mar 12 13:44:54 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * tests/DLL_Test.cpp (main): Fixed the errors on VxWorks and LynxOS by shifting the START_TEST before the #ifdefs began. Fri Mar 12 12:53:17 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: with CC 5.0, replaced ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAMS with ACE_USES_OLD_IOSTREAMS. * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5.5_sunc++.GNU: with CC 5.0, added -library=iostream,no%Cstd to CCFLAGS. Thanks to Diethard Ohrt for the above two updates to support CC 5.0. Fri Mar 12 12:09:14 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h: fixed comment after #endif to match its #ifdef. Fri Mar 12 11:46:55 1999 Vishal Kachroo Added two new functions tzset () and timezone (). The former sets the timezone information based on an environment variable TZ which is set when the user logs on. (For St. Louis TZ=US/Central and timezone = 360 minutes or 6 hrs. from GMT.). timezone () retrieves the timezone value in seconds. * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Added a wrapper for timezone () and tzset (). * ace/OS.i (ACE_OS): Added Implementation for the above functions. The timezone information is being used in the Time Service. Thu Mar 11 20:11:13 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Get_Opt.cpp (operator): Reverted the following change since it will break documented behavior. Thanks to Jon Biggar for reporting this. * ace/Get_Opt.cpp (operator): When the getopt encountered an unknown option or an option with a missing required argument, it returned '?' and continues to allow processing with the next argument (no problem so far). However, if it encountered an argument that is not an option (i.e. no '-' in front) or if it encounters a double dash (i.e. '--') it returns EOF which disallows further processing. Now, it returns a '?' after advancing optind to allow further processing. Thanks to Mark Laffoon for reporting this. Thu Mar 11 15:34:24 1999 David L. Levine * ace/ACE.cpp: removed unnecessary #includes of ace/IPC_SAP.h, ace/Process.h, and ace/SString.h. Thanks to Elias Sreih and Liang Chen for suggesting this. * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS::thr_setspecific): on ACE_WIN32 with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION, don't register the one native key with ACE_TSS_Cleanup::instance (). There's no need, because it doesn't have a destructor. And, it prevents startup because the ACE_TSS_Cleanup structures haven't been set up completely when it is called. Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum for reporting this. Thu Mar 11 14:04:15 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: added protection to not reset exceptions flag if it was defined. Thu Mar 11 12:53:41 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Thread_Manager.i: The method to return the number of threads was using thr_lists_ as a pointer, but it isn't. Thu Mar 11 10:12:51 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Thread_Manager: Added a method to return the current number of threads in the ACE_Thread_Manager. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for suggesting this. Thu Mar 11 10:27:51 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * tests/DLL_Test.cpp (main): Allowed the main to be accessible on all platforms by shifting the #ifdefs inside the main. The problem arose due to the main being declared an undefined reference on LynxOS. Wed Mar 10 13:31:37 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/config-linux-common.h: Commented out ACE_HAS_DLFCN_H_BROKEN_EXTERN_C, ACE_LACKS_MSYNC and ACE_LACKS_MADVISE. They are no longer needed for recent revisions of glibc 2.x. Thanks to for pointing this out. Wed Mar 10 11:05:39 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Thread.h,ace/Thread_Manager.h (exit): added comment that exit () should not be called by main thread. * ace/OS.h: added an ACE_OS_thread_key_t typedef on WIN32 with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION. Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum for reporting that it was missing. * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: disable msg 1136 with cxx 6.1-029. Thanks to Doug Anderson for reporting this. Wed Mar 10 10:57:16 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Basic_Types.h: Fixed minor problem that would show up if sizeof(int)==2; thanks to Cristian Ferretti for reporting this problem. Wed Mar 10 10:13:52 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Message_Block.i (reference_count): Made sure the inline function is defined before used. Thanks to David for noticing this. Wed Mar 10 08:52:59 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus.GNU: fixed exceptions=1 support. Thanks to Wei Chiang for reporting this. * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added exceptions=1 support for pre-2.8 g++. It's not recommended, because pre-2.8 g++ doesn't support exceptions well. It's provided for completeness. * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus.GNU: removed exceptions=1 support, because now it's in wrapper_macros.GNU. Tue Mar 09 21:54:39 1999 David L. Levine * netsvcs/Makefile,netsvcs/clients/Makefile: updated ACE_COMPONENTS check to allow everything to be built in the default case, when ACE_COMPONENTS isn't set. Thanks to Carlos for noticing this. * netsvcs/Makefile,netsvcs/servers/Makefile: moved netsvcs/server build suppression, when ACE_COMPONENTS lacks Other, from netsvcs/Makefile to netsvcs/servers/Makefile. * examples/Naming/Makefile: suppress build if ACE_COMPONENTS is defined and doesn't contain Other. * performance-tests/Misc/Makefile: don't build test_naming if ACE_COMPONENTS is defined and doesn't contain Other. * ace/Log_Record.i (length): cast the long argument to ACE_UINT32, to avoid warning message if long is greater than 4 bytes. Thanks to Hao Ruan for reporting this. Tue Mar 9 20:56:35 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * include/makeinclude/rules.nested.GNU: If the DIRS macro is not set we simply do not recurse. Before this change we got an error from the shell. * bin/auto_compile: If there are no errors then send a message when a warning was detected during compilation. Tue Mar 09 15:15:19 1999 David L. Levine * bin/create_ace_build: check for ace/ and include/ directories in top level directory, instead of ace/, examples/ and netsvcs/. This allows use with trimmed-down workspaces. Thanks to Jeff for suggesting this. * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: added exceptions make option support. Thanks to Wei Chiang for reporting that it wasn't supported. Tue Mar 9 12:59:09 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * docs/ACE-subsets.html: Updated the subsets to reflect what's actually in the ACE Makefile. * ace/Message_Block.h: Changed the private section in both ACE_Message_Block and ACE_Data_Block to protected allowing derived classes to access data members of the parent class; Thanks to Alexander Davidovich for suggesting this. * ace/Message_Block: Added new reference counting accessor methods to Message_Block and Data_Block. Thanks to Alexander Davidovich for suggesting this. Tue Mar 09 11:21:49 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Message_Block.h: For some reason, default ctor and operator= must be declared private instead of protected if they are not to be accessable. Otherwise, VC complains. Tue Mar 09 01:06:44 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.27 released. Tue Mar 09 00:39:23 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.26 released. Mon Mar 08 23:23:35 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,cpp} (thread_within,hthread_within, thread_grp_list,hthread_grp_list): Added new functions to check if a thread is managed by the thread manager and collect the thread ids/handles in a thread group. Thanks to XuYifeng for motivating the addition. Mon Mar 08 22:23:33 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: added FOR_TAO short-cut to ACE_COMPONENTS. If the ACE_COMPONENTS variable is set to FOR_TAO, then only the components necessary to support TAO will be built into libACE. * netsvcs/clients/Makefile: suppress build if Other ACE_COMPONENT isn't built. * netsvcs/Makefile: suppress server build if Other and Token ACE_COMPONENT aren't built. Mon Mar 8 17:35:04 1999 Gonzalo Diethelm * ace/NT_Service.cpp: * ace/NT_Service.h: Now the handle_control method calls separate protected virtual methods to do its work. That way, it is easier to override what must be done on each case, just by overriding one of the new methods. Mon Mar 08 15:41:08 1999 Steve Huston * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux.GNU: Added -DACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE. Thanks to Hao Ruan for reporting this. * README: Added Hao Ruan to the list of contributors. Mon Mar 08 12:27:54 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Service_Config.cpp (handle_signal): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (sig) if ACE_NDEBUG is defined, to avoid compilation warning about unused argument with debug=0. * docs/ACE-subsets.html: added subset characterizations on several platforms. * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_ghs.GNU: fixed AR and ARFLAGS to use CC to build static libs. It looks like GreenHills no longer supplies a separate archiver with 1.8.9. Mon Mar 08 11:58:03 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Task.cpp (activate): Made sure we don't mess with the passed in grp_id if the task was not previously actived. Thanks to XuYifeng for noticing this. Fri Mar 05 14:15:46 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Cleanup (),free_all_keys_left ()): with ACE_TSS_Emulation only, don't free the TSS key that ACE_TSS_Cleanup uses internally for its in_use_ member. The key doesn't get freed in ACE_OS::thr_key_detach (), because that gets called during shutdown. So, free_all_keys_left () would attempt to free it. But, the dynamic memory associated with it had already been deleted by ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit (). And, there aren't any other resources associated with it. So, free_all_keys_left () can just skip over it. * ace/OS.cpp (cleanup_tss): disabled call to free_all_keys_left () with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION, because we can't safely access the TSS values that were created by the main thread. They were destroyed when the ACE_TSS_Cleanup instance exit () function was called. There don't seem to be any leaks if free_all_keys_left () isn't called, anyways. Fri Mar 5 11:05:04 1999 Nanbor Wang * examples/Log_Msg/Log_Msg.dsw: Fixed the path to Callback.dsp. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for reporting this. * performance-tests/Misc/Makefile: Removed test_guard from the Makefile. This test requires having ACE_USES_OBSOLETE_GUARD_CLASSES defined in order to compare ACE_Guard to ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard (obsolete). * ace/OS.h: Removed ACE_THREAD_GUARD*. * ace/config-psos-{diab,tm}.h: Removed ACE_LACKS_METHOD_DEFINITIONS_IN_CLASS_TEMPLATE. It is no longer needed. * ace/Synch_T.{h,i}: One would assume compilers are smart enough to treat _all_ in-class functions as inline. Not for template member functions. This is true at least for SunCC, egcs, gcc, and MSVC. These functions seems to impose extra overhead. After removing the in-class definitions for ACE_Guard, the cost of using ACE_Guard is now as good as using ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard (which, by the way, is depricated.) So, there's no need for a ACE_THREAD_MUTEX_GUARD class. Afterall, the "ACE Way[TM]" of defining inline functions is the "Right Way[TM]". The motto of the change is, always put inline functions in .i files (even for template specialization) otherwise, they'll become regular functions. If you really need to put function definitions within class definitions, mark inline function explicitly. Thanks to Andy Marchewka for noticing the performance differences between ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard and (old) ACE_Guard. Fri Mar 5 11:06:12 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Svc_Conf.y: Always print out an error message when we increment yyerror. Thanks to Ulf Jaehrig for reporting this. Thu Mar 4 12:26:47 1999 Nanbor Wang * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp (svc): Made increment of thread-safe. Thu Mar 04 07:00:20 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: added ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE to xlC section. Thanks to Rainer Blome for reporting this. * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE to cxx section, with __DECCXX_VER < 60090010. This should help avoid compilation warnings from cxx 5.x. Thanks to Oliver M. Kellogg for reporting this. * ACE-INSTALL.html: corrected name of ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h. Thanks to Barry Hoggard for reporting this. * tests/Makefile,Makefile.DLL: instead of always running a recursive make to build libDLL_Test.so, only do that if it needs to be built. And, added dependencies to Makefile.DLL. * ace/Makefile: commented out use of TEMPLATE_FILES. I don't believe that it's needed. * ace/CLASSIX/Makefile: removed unused TEMPLATE_FILES and LSRC2 macros, and gethrtime build rule. * docs/ACE-subsets.html: updated, and added documentation for ACE_COMPONENTS and the ACE_OS adapation layer. Wed Mar 3 22:30:02 1999 James CE Johnson * ace/IOStream_T.{cpp|h|i}: Those last changes break (at least) examples/IOStream/server. I'm backing them out and restoring the 4.6.25 versions of these files until Chris can get back to me about what's going on. Wed Mar 03 21:49:58 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (socket_init,socket_fini): replaced use of cerr with ACE_OS::fprintf. * ace/OS.h: conditionally #include Object_Manager.h, only if ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS is not defined. Merged main () #defines for Unix/NT and WinCE, to ease maintenance. * ace/config-minimal.h: removed undef of ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER, because OS.h now conditionally #includes Object_Manager.h. Added ACE_MAIN_OBJECT_MANAGER #define, to only instantiate the ACE_OS_Object_Manager. * ace/config-WinCE.h: added ACE_MAIN and ACE_MAIN_OBJECT_MANAGER #defines, to support merging of the main () #defines in OS.h. * ace/OS.{h,cpp}: added ACE_OS_Object_Manager::starting_up () and shutting_down (). (ACE_TSS_Cleanup::remove): replaced use of ACE_Object_Manager::shutting_down () with ACE_OS_Object_Manager::shutting_down (). Thanks to Irfan for reporting that, otherwise, ace/Object_Manager.h had to be #included by OS.cpp on NT, if ACE_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER wasn't #defined. * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp: hacked a bit to support building, and running, with ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS. Don't look, unless you want to forever ruin all of your good coding habits. Wed Mar 03 19:08:52 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Map_T.h (ACE_Map): Further degraded my code to make it compile with lame compilers ;-) This time it was the lame pSOS diab compiler that could not recongnize a typedef in the base template class. Wed Mar 03 11:31:00 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added guideline to try to limit the length of source code lines to less than 80 characters. And, reverted to the previous version of the file. The last version was apparently committed by mistake. * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU (ACE_HAS_GNUG_PRE_2_8): added support for eg++. Assume that it's egcs, and therefore ACE_HAS_GNUG_PRE_2_8 is set to 0. Thanks to Russell L. Carter for supplying a patch. Wed Mar 3 09:35:20 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (handle_signal): Added a check to see if the current mapping is up to date so that faults caused by other mappings will be passed on. Thanks to Joseph Weihs for reporting this and for providing a fix. Wed Mar 3 05:48:24 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/ACE.cpp (fork): Added an extra pair of parens within the WIFE*() macros to work around GCC bugs. Thanks to Alexandre Karev and Andre Folkers for reporting this. Tue Mar 2 22:50:18 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: Added forward declaration for ACE_Proactor_Impl. Using static cast to down cast from to . Thanks to John.Mulhern@lawson.com for reporting the warnings in HP UX. Tue Mar 02 21:17:19 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: changed Object_Manager state to be per-instance, instead of global. This makes it easier to enforce startup and shutdown ordering, regardless of whether the Object_Managers are static, created on the stack of main (), or dynamically allocated. * ace/IOStream_T.h: fixed a couple more line breaks. * Makefile: added support for suppressing man page regeneration on make release command line. * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added automated support for warning 1136. It's only supported by cxx 6.2. Thanks to James CE Johnson for reporting this, and to Andrew Hobson for diagnosing the problem. * ace/OS.i (thr_getspecific): added #else clause w/ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN to support ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS. * ace/config-minimal.h: added #undef of ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER, to avoid #include of Object_Manager.h. And, added #define ACE_USE_THREAD_MANAGER_ADAPTER so that ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke () won't use any ACE_Thread_Exit functions. * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): removed ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS conditional compilation, because config-minimal.h now #defines ACE_USE_THREAD_MANAGER_ADAPTER. And, added #else clauses to three TSS-related functions. Tue Mar 02 14:43:29 1999 Steve Huston * ace/Map_T.(h i): Qualified types inherited from template base classes; qualified with ACE_TYPENAME where needed. Now aC++ is happy. * ace/config-hpux-10.x-hpc++.h: Added ACE_HAS_TYPENAME_KEYWORD for aC++. * tests/DLL_Test.cpp: Enable on HP-UX. Generalize the library prefix/suffix with the platform definitions from OS.h. Tue Mar 2 12:41:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/IOStream_T.{cpp, h}: Fixed some line breaks that were inadvertently introduced when these files were last checked in. Tue Mar 2 10:54:16 1999 Nanbor Wang * Cache_{Hash,Heap}_T.{h,cpp}: * Cache_Manager[_T].{h,cpp}: * Cache_Object.cpp: * Hash_Bucket_T.{h,cpp}: Fixed erroneous include directives. Thanks to Christian.Destor@alcatel.fr for reporting this. Tue Mar 2 10:33:47 1999 James CE Johnson * ace/IOStream_T.{cpp|h|i}: Christopher Healey noticed occasional core dumps from ~ACE_IOStream on heavily loaded systems. It turns out that streambuf_ was being deleted out from under the object. These three files include his patches for this problem. Tue Mar 2 02:28:54 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CDR_Stream.h (do_byte_swap): This accessor function should be public accessible. Otherwise it's useless. Reorder class declaration so the protected members appear before private members/functions. Mon Mar 1 23:26:41 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * tests/DLL_Test.cpp (ACE_HAS_SVR4_DYNAMIC_LINKING): Added this check to prevent this test from being run separately. Mon Mar 01 17:02:48 1999 David L. Levine * ACE version 4.6.25 released. Mon Mar 01 16:54:02 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp,Object_Manager.cpp: fixed ObjMan state logic to ensure that the ACE_Object_Manager is fini'd before the ACE_OS_Object_Manager, even when both are static objects. Thanks to Carlos for reporting this problem. Mon Mar 01 14:05:46 1999 David L. Levine * ACE version 4.6.24 released. Mon Mar 01 13:04:53 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.*,Object_Manager.{h,cpp},ACE.cpp: added class ACE_OS_Object_Manager. It manages the three preallocated locks that ACE_OS uses. Many thanks to Nanbor for suggesting the scheme to avoid dependency on Synch_T.h for the ACE_Guard instantiations: OS.cpp now has a couple of lightweight guards for its internal use. * ace/ACE.{i,cpp},OS.*: moved ACE::strecpy () and ACE::unique_name () from class ACE to ACE_OS. That allows ACE_OS to be self-contained. The ACE versions were left for backward compatibility; they now just wrap the ACE_OS versions. With these changes, a stand-alone ACE OS adaptation layer can now be built. The ace/config-minimal.h config file should be included in ace/config.h if you want to build the ACE OS adaptation layer. Two deficiencies remain with the ACE OS adaptation layer: the dependencies on ACE_Log_Msg have been conditionally compiled out by config-minimal.h. Similarly, there is a conditional dependency of ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke () on ACE_Thread_Exit. It would probably be best to move that to ACE Thread_Manager, if possible. * ace/config-minimal.h: suppress ACE_HAS_TSS_EMUATION, because it requires other ACE headers to be #included. * ace/Synch.{i,cpp} (~ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex): added a call to this->remove (). Without it, the mutex wasn't being destroyed. Uninlined both the destructor to avoid code bloat if there are multiple returns in a function that instantiates an ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex locally. And, uninlined the remove () function, to save code space, because it's non-trivial and not expected to be time critical. Sun Feb 28 20:21:05 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * tests/Makefile.DLL (realclean): Added the realclean target to the makefile. * tests/run_tests.sh (ace_version): Disabled DLL_Test for chorus, LynxOS, Unicos platforms as they dont support shared libraries. Sun Feb 28 20:08:54 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.cpp: Fixed to pass wherever is being passed, since it is ok to pass the derived class pointer in place of base class pointer. Defined the fields and in so that they can be used instead of and . Because and fields are not supported on HP yet. Sun Feb 28 14:22:38 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_linux_kcc.GNU: added -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS, because it's needed with glibc 2.1. It can't go into the config file, because it needs to be #defined before the #include of features.h. But, features.h #defines the glibc version. Thanks to Ben Eng for reporting this. * ace/config-minimal.h: disable ACE_ASSERT, ACE_DEBUG, and ACE_ERROR. Sun Feb 28 12:57:53 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (terminate): The condition for handling joining thread was wrong. Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum for reporting the bug. Sun Feb 28 08:37:44 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): replaced call to ACE_Thread::self () with call to ACE_OS::thr_self (), so that we don't need to #include ace/Thread.h. Thanks to Russ Noseworthy for reporting this. Sat Feb 27 17:25:52 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: updated dependencies. They didn't have any .shobj dependencies, just .obj. * tests/Makefile: ran make depend. It didn't have any dependencies. * include/makeinclude/platform_linux_kcc.GNU: added note that evaluation copies of KCC might come with libraries that were built with exception handling support. To use them, ACE must be built with exception handling support (exceptions=1). Thanks to John Lindal for reporting this. Also, added support for the exceptions make flag. Sat Feb 27 13:31:17 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.i: Fixed the remaining problems with ACE_OSCALL_RETURN macro usage for sem_wait(), sem_post(), and sem_trywait(). Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. * ace/OS.h: Added a set of ACE_THREAD_GUARD macros that use ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard. These seem to be faster on many platforms than the ACE_Guard. Thanks to Andy Marchewka for reporting this. * ace/Dump.cpp: Moved the explicit template instantiation of ACE_Guard out of dump and put it into Synch.cpp, where it's with the other instantiations. Fri Feb 26 23:58:46 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.{h,i,cpp}: Added some read- and write-pointer alignment functions, as proposed by Carlos. Also deleted some ACE_OutputCDR members that weren't being used. Checked the build on NT and suncc. Must come up with some kind of test for these new functions. Fri Feb 26 21:56:05 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: moved ACE_COMPONENTS to after include of wrapper_macros.GNU, so that users can set it in their platform_macros.GNU. Also, added ACE_LACKS_ACE_OTHER to CFLAGS if Other ACE_COMPONENT is not built. Fri Feb 26 17:48:32 1999 Steve Huston * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Added OCFLAGS value for optimize=1 builds; added support for distrib=1 builds to build for off-site distribution. Fri Feb 26 12:38:00 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp: added #include "ace/Thread_Manager.h" on WIN32, for ACE_Thread_Descriptor declaration. Thanks to Barry Hoggard for reporting this. * ace/Managed_Object.h: fixed comments in description. Fri Feb 26 11:56:08 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Log_Priority.h (ACE_Log_Priority): Removed all references to ACE_HAS_BROKEN_ENUMS since it has been deprecated (see David's ChangeLog entries from Feb 5). Fri Feb 26 11:09:47 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/OS.i (sema_destroy): ACE_OSCALL and ACE_OSCALL_RETURN macro calls for sem_destroy, sem_unlink and sem_close had too few arguments. Added the missing arguments for the macros. Fri Feb 26 10:59:45 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * examples/Reactor/WFMO_Reactor/test_talker.cpp (main): Fixed to use the new proactor interface. Thu Feb 25 22:17:58 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (spa, for VxWorks only): updated comment about ::sp () default values, and added comments for each argument to ::taskSpawn (). Thanks to Tad Jarosinski for asking about spa (). Thu Feb 25 20:10:06 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Synch.h: * ace/Synch.i: * ace/Synch_T.h: Added an ACE_Null_Semaphore class. Thanks to Irfan for his guidance on this. Also fixed ACE_SYNCH_SEMAPHORE to be ACE_Null_Semaphore when ACE is built without thread support. Thu Feb 25 18:37:27 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/WFMO_Reactor (cancel_wakeup and masks_ops): Fixed the cancel_wakeup() method. It was doing too much, i.e., if the masks were reduced to null, it was removing the event handler entry. The new version behaves more like the Select Reactor in that it simply plays with the masks without removing the event handler. Also, implemented the mask_ops() operation. Thanks to Douglas C. Schmidt and Zoran Ivanovic for helping in pinpointing the problem. * ace/Service_Config.cpp (fini_svcs and close): Since the reactor and proactor singletons potentially call user code (in handle_close()), we must shut them down *before* the log msg is destroyed. Therefore, moved the close_singletons() call from close() to fini_svcs(). * ace/Select_Reactor_Base.cpp (bit_ops): Since we return the old masks everytime, find the old reactor masks at the start of the method. This automatically does the work of the GET_MASK operation. * ace/Proactor.cpp: Added #include "ace/Object_Manager.h" * examples/Reactor/WFMO_Reactor/test_prerun_state_changes.cpp: handle_close() was getting called twice; changed code to prevent double deletion. * examples/Reactor/WFMO_Reactor/test_handle_close.cpp: Added the ability to cancel reads, change masks, and check for existing reactor masks. Thu Feb 25 17:35:10 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * tests/DLL_Test.cpp: Changed the OBJ_SUFFIX to ".so" as on Linux the .o file cannot be a shared object. Also the OBJ_PREFIX is now "./lib" for non-Win32 platforms. * tests/Makefile: Additional option DLL_TEST added so that a .so can be produced for DLL_Test. * tests/Makefile.DLL: This is the makefile which produces libDLL_Test.so for DLL_Test. Wed Feb 24 23:47:22 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/Proactor.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Proactor.cpp: * ace/Proactor.h: * ace/Proactor_Impl.h: * ace/POSIX_Proactor.h: Changed the return values of the API to return -1 on error, 0 on timeout, 1 on success. This has been done so that it looks like the . Previously was returning -1 on error, 0 on success and 0 on timeout also. Fixed the and to do indefinite blocking when ACE_INFINITE is passed. is used instead of . Renamed the class to more appropriate . Wed Feb 24 22:08:50 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.i: Fixed all the sem_* calls so that they no longer use the ACE_ADAPT_RETVAL() macro, which was broken since these calls all return -1 on failure. Thanks to John E. Bossom for reporting this. Wed Feb 24 17:40:49 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/combine: * docs/tutorials/colorize: A few enhancements to make the colorization better. Also, when #include "ace/something.h" is seen by the colorizer, it will create a link to ../../../ace/something.h. That should give direct links from the tutorial pages to the ACE headers. Wed Feb 24 16:56:51 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/017/barrier2.cpp: Added this to show how you can change the thread count while threads are still active. * docs/tutorials/017/*.html: Regenerated due to the new file. * docs/tutorials/018/*.html: Added Kirthika's abstract & regenerated. * docs/tutorials/018/token.cpp: Typo in the comments... Wed Feb 24 14:57:10 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h (ASYS_ONLY_WIDE_STRING): New UNICODE macros to convert char* to wchar* when UNICODE is defined but not on CE. * ace/Service_Config.cpp (parse_args): Convert getopt.optarg using ASYS_ONLY_WIDE_STRING. Wed Feb 24 13:54:15 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-minimal.h: changed #include protection to ACE_CONFIG_MINIMAL_H, so that this config can be #included by others. * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Thread_Manager.h: moved ACE_Thread_Control and ACE_Thread_Exit class definitions from Thread_Manager.h to OS.h, so that Task.h no longer needs to be #included by OS.cpp. * ace/OS.cpp: protected #include of Containers_T.h with defined (ACE_WIN32) || defined (ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION). Wed Feb 24 05:30:59 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Message_Queue_T.i (dequeue): Replaced the improper self-recursive call to dequeue() with dequeue_head(). Thanks to Marc Engel for reporting this. Tue Feb 23 20:58:17 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.i: Make sure to do the right thang if we're compiling the ACE recursive thread mutexes on platforms that lack threading. * ace/Service_Object: Added a new ACE_Service_Object constructor that takes an ACE_Reactor * and passes this down to the ACE_Event_Handler base class. * ace/Event_Handler: Added a new ACE_Event_Handler constructor that takes an ACE_Reactor * and an int priority that default to the right values. Tue Feb 23 21:53:32 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.h,README: added ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS support. * ace/config-minimal.h: added this config file. It defines ACE_HAS_MINIMAL_ACE_OS. It is designed to build only the minimal ACE_OS adaptation layer. Tue Feb 23 20:28:45 1999 Marina Spivak * ace/SString.{h,i,cpp}: Added a private member to the ACE_CString class to keep track of the size of data buffer, and avoid unnecessary memory reallocations. Updated class methods to use buf_len_. Tue Feb 23 19:54:55 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.cpp: Fixed the potential dominance warnings in POSIX implementation. Updated the documentation. Tue Feb 23 18:11:11 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * examples/DLL/DLL.dsw: examples/DLL/Main.dsp: examples/DLL/Newsweek.dsp: examples/DLL/Today.dsp: Added extra include and linker options to the projects. * tests/DLL_Test: Added OBJ_PREFIX to cater to the problem which arose due to the fact that the .o is produced under the .obj directory on SunOS. * tests/run_tests.sh: tests/run_tests.bat: Made an entry for DLL_Test. Tue Feb 23 16:54:33 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/OS.i (recursive_mutex_trylock and recursive_mutex_lock): Removed the "abandoned" versions of these routines. Abandoned mutexes are only supported for process mutexes, but not for thread mutexes. Tue Feb 23 15:50:40 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/Proactor.cpp: * ace/Proactor.h: * ace/Proactor_Impl.h: * ace/POSIX_Proactor.h: * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Proactor.cpp: Implemented for POSIX platforms. Thanks to Irfan for the cool design. This API has been changed a little bit for portability. API now exists at class. To post completions, users will have to get hold of an class (either get it from the predefined factory methods at the Proactor or derive from or , then call on it passing in the which can be got through method in the . The need for RTTI has been avioded in this design. Tue Feb 23 15:19:33 1999 Steve Huston * ace/NT_Service.(h cpp): Added two new methods: state (DWORD *, ACE_Time_Value * = 0) as an alternate way to get the service's state, with definite indication of error. Also changed comments on the other state() method to clarify the return value. test_access (DWORD) tests caller's access to the service. Thanks to Martin Krumpolec for these ideas and suggestions! Tue Feb 23 14:12:52 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Active_Map_Manager_T.h (npos): Added a new static member function that returns a key that cannot be found in the map. Thanks to Fernando D. Mato Mira for suggesting this. Tue Feb 23 12:15:09 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Svc_Conf.y: * ace/Svc_Conf_y.cpp: * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (symbol): * ace/OS.cpp (fork_exec): * ace/INET_Addr.cpp (ACE_INET_Addr): More Unicode fixes. Tue Feb 23 12:00:21 1999 Steve Huston * examples/NT_Service/main.cpp: Allow -i option without a value, and default to AUTO_START. Also, added a README file to explain how to use the program. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for the change and the README file! Mon Feb 22 22:03:47 1999 Nanbor Wang * bin/auto_compile_win32.pl: Perl script for compiling all the million different config. combination on Win32. Hey, it also works on Alpha. Thanks to Darrell Brunsch for testing it on Alpha/NT. * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Fixed broken project settings. Mon Feb 22 21:56:27 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Sched_Params.cpp: removed #include of ACE.h because it's not necessary. * ace/Makefile: added ACE_COMPONENTS default definition. Moved Sched_Params from THREADS_FILES to OS_FILES because OS.cpp needs it. It only contributes 172 bytes to libACE on VxWorks and 248 on LynxOS. Sun Feb 21 18:52:17 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.23 released. Sun Feb 21 08:46:09 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.i (recursive_mutex_{init,lock,trylock}: added some ACE_UNUSED_ARGS. * ace/OS.{i,cpp} (cond_*): uninlined the ACE_OS:cond_* function versions with ACE_LACKS_COND_T. Most are too big to be good candidates for inlining. And the others cause use-before- definition problems in OS.i. Sun Feb 21 00:17:58 1999 Darrell Brunsch * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.i: Can now copy null Addrs. Also added hash function implementation. * websvcs/lib URL_Addr.h: Added hash function. * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: Fixed a bug with ACE_HTTP_Addr::create_relative_address and urls beginning with "/". It used to copy the first '/', which wasn't needed. Sat Feb 20 15:39:16 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: changed ACE_OS::exit () to call an exit hook that is registered by the ACE_Object_Manager, instead of directly calling ACE_Object_Manager::fini (). * ace/OS.i (thr_self): moved definitions to before first use. Sat Feb 20 11:50:30 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.i (thr_equal): Moved the body of ACE_OS::thr_equal before recursive_mutex methods to avoid "function redefined as inline" problem. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. Sat Feb 20 09:05:20 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.cpp: Changed the ACE_static_cast() in ACE_OS_Wstring to first use an ACE_const_cast(). Thanks to Andy Gokhale for reporting this. Sat Feb 20 02:53:38 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_WString): Need to add a statis cast when converting from wchar to char to eliminate a warning from Win98. * ace/config-win32-common.h: Do not check for library type on CE. * ace/config-WinCE.h: Defined ACE_HAS_WINCE as 1. Fri Feb 19 22:54:18 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.h: Fixed the return types for ACE_OS_WString and ACE_OS_CString assignment operators, even though they are not defined they should be declared to return something, otherwise egcs give us a ton of warnings. Fri Feb 19 21:02:49 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/config-win32-common.h: #define'd ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_MUTEXES for Win32. * ace/OS.cpp: Removed the SString.h dependency in OS.cpp! Fri Feb 19 21:44:31 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/OS.i: Was using two many arguments to thread_mutex_lock () and ACE_OS::thread_mutex_trylock (). * ace/Synch.i: Typo in comment Fri Feb 19 18:18:13 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.{h,i,cpp}: Added ACE_OS_WString and ACE_OS_CString which should only be used within ACE_OS to perform conversion between wchar strings and char string. Changed the wide/multibyte conversion macros to use ACE_OS_?String classes and removed dependencies to Auto_Ptr.h and SString.h. * ace/config-win32-common.h: Removed checked for (_DLL) if ACE_HAS_DLL = 0. Otherwise, the static build won't compile. * ace/Token_Manager.cpp (release_token): * ace/Service_Manager.cpp (list_services): Changed ASYS_MULTIBYTE_STRING to ASYS_ONLY_MULTIBYTE_STRING. Because the new conversion classes have stronger type checking, these errors weren't found until now. Fri Feb 19 17:01:08 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: moved ACE from OS_FILES to UTILS_FILES. Fri Feb 19 15:44:23 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS, ace/Synch: Moved the implementation of the ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex from the Synch.* files to the OS.* files in order to reduce coupling in OS.* and other parts of ACE. Fri Feb 19 12:36:43 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/OS.i: Fixed missing ACE_INLINE for ACE_OS::strenvdup() Fri Feb 19 11:35:57 1999 Steve Huston * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: Added new option "distrib". If you do a "make distrib=1" the -R options won't be given when linking, which produces dynamic load records requiring objects/libraries in standard places, or use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The default is distrib=0, which is the existing behavior. Fri Feb 19 11:22:48 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.cpp (open): Don't call CreateFileA with FILE_SHARE_DELETE when compiled on Win95 because it doesn't support the flag. The implication of this change is that unlink before close will not work on Win95. So programs that are targeted to both NT and Win95 cannot depend on it. Thanks to Rod Joseph for reporting the bug. Thu Feb 18 21:10:45 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS.cpp (string_to_argv): We no longer have to special case for WinCE since this logic has been moved into ACE_OS::strenvdup(). * ace/ACE.cpp: Implemented ACE::strenvdup() using ACE_OS::strenvdup(). * ace/OS: Move the implementation of strenvdup() from ACE to ACE_OS to remove another dependency from the OS wrappers. * ace/ARGV.cpp: Rewrote the ACE_ARGV::string_to_argv() and ACE_ARGV::argv_to_string() methods to use the new ACE_OS::string_to_argv() and ACE_OS::argv_to_string(). * ace/OS.h: Added string_to_argv() and argv_to_string() methods to ACE_OS to remove the dependency on ACE_ARGV. Thu Feb 18 19:21:03 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/005/client_handler.cpp: Replaced the leading '_' in the open() method so that we can cast _acceptor to acceptor. Thu Feb 18 14:12:28 1999 Nanbor Wang * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/svc.conf: Changed to start up ACE_Naming_Context as dynamic service. Thanks to Darren Whobrey for reporting this problem. * ace/Name_Proxy.cpp (open): The timeout value was set upp ACE_Time_Value::zero accidentally when we want blocking connect. Thanks to Darren Whobrey for reporting the bug. * ace/CDR_Stream.{h,i} (ACE_InputCDR::do_byte_swap): Added accessor function for Flick. * ace/CORBA_macros.h (ACE_THROW_INT): This should return a new instance of the exception. Thanks to Andy for pointing this out. Wed Feb 17 16:40:56 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h (ACE_NEW_THROW_EX): A new ACE_NEW_THROW macro which makes ACE_NEW_THROW_EX behave like a exception-throwing function. I.e., you need to follow ACE_NEW_THOW_EX with appropriate ACE_CHECK* macros. The use of ACE_NEW_THROW, ACE_NEW_THROW_RETURN, ACE_NEW_TRY_THROW are deprecated. * docs/exceptions.html: Added documentation for ACE_DECLARE_NEW_CORBA_ENV. * ace/config-WinCE.h: Automatically define ACE_HAS_WINCE if it is not already defined. * ace/Synch.cpp: I had to shuffle the location of .i file around to avoid a warning from SH compiler for CE. * ace/config-win32-common.h: Disabled checking for DLL run-time, WIN32, and multi-threaded run-time on Windows CE. * ace/CORBA_macros.h (ACE_DECLARE_NEW_CORBA_ENV): Added this macro for declaring a new CORBA_Environment called ACE_TRY_ENV. ACE_TRY_NEW_ENV should now be avoided because it won't work if multiple try blocks are needed in the top-most functions. Instead, you can use the new macro to define the environment variable and use ACE_TRY/ACE_TRY_EX as usually. This is even more intuitive than ACE_TRY_NEW_ENV. ;) Thanks to Andy for reporting the problem. Wed Feb 17 10:44:29 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.dsp: * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: * examples/Reactor/Proactor/Makefile: rtagged these files with "new_proactor" Tue Feb 16 17:08:53 1999 Steve Huston * examples/ASX/Event_Server/Transceiver: Moved Event_Transceiver class definition to new file, transceiver.h, to build ok on AIX (P15) and fixed core dump if ctor fails to connect. * examples/Connection/misc: Moved some class definitions from test_upipe.cpp to new file test_upipe.h to build ok on AIX (P17). Same thing with Connection_Handler - new file Connection_Handler.h. * examples/Connection/misc/Makefile: Clean out tempinc directory between program compiles so AIX xlC doesn't freak out. Tue Feb 16 16:42:23 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h (ACE_PRINT_EXCEPTION): A new macro that deal with printing out the exception for debugging. Thanks to Lothar Werzinger for suggesting this. * docs/exceptions.html: Added documentation for the new macro ACE_PRINT_EXCEPTION. Since there's no portable way to print out the content of a CORBA_Exception, we use this macro to deal with differences among various ORB implementations. This macro is user definable. Thanks to Eric Covington for figuring out the following. * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp: Added Functor.cpp and Message_Queue.cpp. * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (dump): Fixed Unicode problem. * ace/OS.i (truncate): WinCE does not have char* version of truncate. Tue Feb 16 00:39:35 1999 Alexander Babu Arulanthu * ace/ace_dll.dsp: * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.dsp: * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: Updated the files. * ace/WIN32_Asynch_IO.h: * ace/WIN32_Asynch_IO.cpp: * ace/WIN32_Asynch_IO.i: Added the files * ace/ace_dll.dsp: * ace/ace_lib.dsp: Updated these files * examples/Reactor/Proactor/Makefile: New make file which also compiles the test_aiosig_ace.cpp program. * ace/POSIX_Asynch_IO.i: Added the file. rTagged the ACE_wrappers repository with After the following changes rtagged the repository with * ace/ Proactor.h Asynch_IO.cpp Asynch_IO.h Makefile Proactor.cpp Proactor.h config-lynxos.h config-sunos5.6.h config-sunos5.7.h POSIX_Asynch_IO.{h,CPP} POSIX_Proactor.{h,cpp} WIN32_Asynch_IO.{h,cpp} Asynch_IO_Impl.{h,cpp,i} Proactor_Impl.h Applied Bridge pattern to the POSIX implementation of the Proactor code. ACE_POSIX_AIOCB_Proactor works fine on Solaris 2.6. ACE_POSIX_SIG_Proactor works on LynxOS. Take a look at the tests at the $(ACE_ROOT)/examples/Reactor/Proactor/ and the README. * tests/ Aio_Platform_Test.cpp *examples/Reactor/Proactor/: test_proactor.cpp test_aiocb.cpp test_aiosig.cpp test_aiosig_ace.cpp README Test files for testing out the platforms. Mon Feb 15 13:17:15 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.22 released. Sun Feb 14 15:25:27 1999 Ossama Othman * ACE-configuration.txt: * ACE.ifnames: * acconfig.h: * ace-config.in: * ace-diff-config.in: * acinclude.m4: * aclocal.m4: * config.guess: * config.sub: * configure: * configure.in: * install-sh: * libtool: * ltconfig: * ltmain.sh: * missing: * mkinstalldirs: * ace/config.h.in: Started to introduce the work done by the ACE Configuration Project into the official ACE distribution. To help speed development, the work being done by the ACE Configuration Project is being slowly introduced into the official ACE distribution. Some of the functionality in the work created by the ACE Configuration Project has been removed so that ACE may be built in the usual fashion. Once the ACE Configuration Project work stabilizes on more platforms that removed functionality may be added to ACE. Currently the configure script contains most of the tests that are necessary to properly configure ACE on most platforms. However, there are still some autoconf tests that are missing. As such, you may encounter and most likely will have compilation problems. The `configure' script that is currently being used has been modified from the ACE Configuration Project's `configure' script to prevent makefiles from being automatically generated since there are still some issues that must be addressed before automatically generated makefiles are incorporated into the official ACE distribution. Sun Feb 14 14:09:11 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/015/server.cpp (main): Force the singleton to use the Select Reactor instead of the OS-default. This should fix the problem this tutorial has on Win32 due to blocking vs non-blocking socket configuration. * docs/tutorials/015/Protocol_Task.h : Removed the ability to activate this task. The code is now a little simpler and less likely to behave in unpredicatable ways. * docs/tutorials/015/* : A few typos fixed but mostly fallout from removing the ability to activate the Protocol_Task. * docs/tutorials/016/page01.html : Added Kirthika's abstract. * docs/tutorials/016/condition.cpp : Made max_threads_ a non-static member variable that is set by open(). * docs/tutorials/017/page01.html : Added Kirthika's abstract. Sun Feb 14 12:47:03 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR_Stream.h: * ace/CDR_Stream.i: * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Minor cosmetic changes, mostly trailing spaces. Sat Feb 13 22:06:17 1999 Nanbor Wang The following changes are based on the patch Eric Covington submitted. Thanks very much to Eric for bringing ACE/CE up-to-date. * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp: Updated. * ace/OS.cpp: (open): CE doesn't support opening files with attribute FILE_SHARE_DELETE. * ace/OS.i (abort): CE doesn't support abort. * ace/Stats.cpp (print_summary): CE doesn't support strerror. * ace/Stats.i (dump): Changed to use ACE_DEBUG. * tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp (main): * ace/tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (find_another_host): * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): * ace/INET_Addr.cpp (addr_to_string): Fixed Unicode problems. Fri Feb 12 16:14:47 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp: Replaced the typedef for ACE_TSS_CONNECTION_MUTEX with #define ACE_TSS_CONNECTION_MUTEX. Thanks to Arturo for reporting this. Fri Feb 12 18:41:22 1999 Steve Huston * ace/SString.cpp: Added "ace/" to #include "Auto_Ptr.h" to conform to conding guidelines. Fri Feb 12 17:16:17 1999 David L. Levine * tests/run_tests.vxworks: commented out Message_Queue_Test and Timeprobe_Test, because they lockup the machine. And, fixed string length of DLL_Test printout. Fri Feb 12 17:06:30 1999 Arturo Montes * ace/config-sco-5.0.0-CC-fsu-pthread.h: removed this config file, because it's not used. Fri Feb 12 16:36:55 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/SOCK_IO.{h,i,cpp} (send,recv): Added back the iovec version of send/recv back to maintain backward compatibility. Thanks to Steve for pointing this out. Fri Feb 12 15:37:10 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: split FILES up into subsets. See docs/ACE-subsets.html for more information. Fri Feb 12 12:31:29 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Makefile: Removed blank line that was added when troubleshooting the cvs log problem. The extra line cause Digital Unix's make to complain about a missing separator. Fri Feb 12 09:19:21 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: added ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY and ACE_USES_STD_NAMESPACE_FOR_STDCPP_LIB #defines with Sun CC 5.0. Thanks to Diethard Ohrt for providing these. Thu Feb 11 15:05:42 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ACE-INSTALL.html: Reworded the first step of the Windows NT installation to be a bit clearer. Thu Feb 11 14:30:35 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/ace_dll.dsp: Fixed Alpha Configuration. Thu Feb 11 03:48:50 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h: Added #pragma once and ACE_CORBA_MACROS_H to prevent duplicate inclusion of this file. Added a new macro ACE_ANY_EXCEPTION to denote the name of the CORBA exception caught by the ACE_CATCHANY. Thanks to Lothar Werzinger for suggesting this. Wed Feb 10 23:01:16 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/config-win32-common.h: Made a better effort at finding out if the files are compiled against the correct run-time libraries. Now _DLL is checked to see if it is defined for ACE_HAS_DLL != 0 builds, and if it is not defined for static builds. This should help diagnose the problem of not using (Debug) Multithreaded DLL run-time libraries in clients that use DLL versions of ace (one symptom of this mistake is errno not working correctly because of one copy being defined in the DLL and one in the program itself). Wed Feb 10 22:19:33 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/014/stream.cpp : Removed the __LINE__ displays. * docs/tutorials/014/page01.html : Added Kirthika's abstract * docs/tutorials/015/page01.html : Added Kirthika's abstract * docs/tutorials/015/page12.html : Oops... Wrong intro text. * docs/tutorials/015/Protocol_Stream.cpp : Typos fixed * docs/tutorials/015/Protocol_Task.cpp : Typos fixed Wed Feb 10 15:04:26 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Makefile: added Pair_T.cpp and Template_Instantiations.cpp to the TEMPLATE_FILES list/variable. They were missing. * tests/Conn_Test.cpp (spawn_processes): initialized pid_t *children_ptr to zero to prevent "uninitialized" warnings from egcs 1.1.1. Wed Feb 10 14:16:25 1999 Ossama Othman * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (performance_test): initialized ACE_Message_Block **send_block to zero to prevent "uninitialized" warnings from egcs 1.1.1. Wed Feb 10 14:02:46 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces): initialized struct ifreq * ifs to zero to prevent "uninitialized" warnings from egcs 1.1.1. Wed Feb 10 10:53:59 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/ftp-server.cpp: Fixed several minor syntax errors. Tue Feb 09 16:54:10 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Put the 'XXX_DISABLE_SWAP_ON_READ' code back into the ACE_INputCDR methods read_array(), read_2(), read_4(), read_8() and read_16(). I didn't realize at first how crucial that is to the Boeing folks. Thanks to Carlos for bringing this to my attention. Tue Feb 09 16:07:32 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Synch.{h,i,cpp}: Removed classes ACE_Null_Mutex_Guard and ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard since there doesn't seem any need for them any more. They should be replaced by ACE_Guard and ACE_Guard. If by any chance you still need to use them, add ACE_USES_OBSOLETE_GUARD_CLASSES into your config.h file. * ace/Local_Tokens.h: Replaced ACE_Null_Mutex_Guard and ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard with ACE_Guard and ACE_Guard. Tue Feb 9 16:12:42 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/{010|011}/task.{h|cpp} : barrier_ doesn't need to be a pointer since Doug moved n_threads to the ctor. Minor typos corrected also. * docs/tutorials/010/message_queue.cpp : Typos... * docs/tutorials/002/server.cpp: Added call to notify() in the signal handler so that ^C will exit as expected. Tue Feb 09 13:57:23 1999 Nanbor Wang * tests/DLList_Test.cpp (main): The test should log the result to DLList_Test.log, not ACE_DLList_Test.log. * tests/run_tests.{sh,vxworks,psosim}: Added DLList_Test. * tests/run_tests.bat: Removed DLL_Test. * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Win32 only. Made sure we always look for the DLL at the current directory first on Win32 which is the default behavior on Win32. * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Removed entries of Service_Record.{h,i}. Thanks to David for noticing this. Tue Feb 09 10:21:33 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Service_Types.{i,cpp},README: removed obsolete references to Service_Record. * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp (main): added printout with numbers of expected and actual events, if result is not ACE_MAX_TIMERS + 2 * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added BUILD line with both shared_libs and static_libs enabled, so that individual Makefiles don't need a BUILD line. * docs/ACE-subsets.html: updated to reflect current ACE status. Mon Feb 08 14:32:43 1999 Nanbor Wang * docs/exceptions.html: Added guidelines of switching from TAO try macros to ACE try macros. Other cosmetic changes. Mon Feb 8 13:54:32 1999 Yamuna Krishnamurthy * docs/tutorials/011/task.cpp : In the open return this->activate (THR_NEW_LWP, this->n_threads_); was taking an udefined variable threads. * docs/tutorials/011/message_queue.cpp: Corrected Compilation error due to a typo (static misspelt as statuc!!!) Mon Feb 8 09:21:10 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Map_T.h, ace/Pair_T.h: Aded parens around the #pragma implementation file names so the AIX compiler would be happy. Thanks to Martin Krumpolec for reporting this. Mon Feb 08 00:39:49 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.21 released. Sun Feb 7 22:48:01 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h (ACE_THROW_RETURN): The second macro argument was missing. Sun Feb 7 22:32:21 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/CORBA_macros.h: It wasn't clear why the ACE_THROW_RETURN macro for non-NT platforms wasn't taking a second RETV parameter. I've fixed this, however. Sun Feb 07 13:55:15 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: added comment about possibly needing -compat=4 with Sun CC 5.0. Thanks to Sush Bankapura for reporting success with it. Sun Feb 7 00:43:32 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Turns out that read_boolean_array was declared, but the body was missing (?). Sat Feb 6 22:38:40 1999 Jeff Parsons * ACE_wrappers/tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Changed #include file name to ace/CDR_Stream.h (the new source file name). Sat Feb 6 22:21:14 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR_Stream.h: * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp: Fixed the write_boolean_array() method; it only needs a const array of booleans. Sat Feb 6 22:07:45 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR.{h,i,cpp}: Renamed these as... * ace/CDR_Stream.{h,i,cpp}: Mustn't have files with the same name (the TAO files) for the sake of some compilers. * Makefile: * ace_dll.dsp: Changed to reflect the renaming above. Sat Feb 6 20:30:51 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/CDR.h: * ace/CDR.i: * ace/CDR.cpp: Fixed some indentation and style problems. Sat Feb 06 07:47:20 1999 David L. Levine * tests/test_config.h (~ACE_Test_Output): wrapped use of cerr with #ifndef ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY. Sat Feb 06 02:41:07 1999 Irfan Pyarali * tests/Map_Test.cpp: The hell of explicit template instantiation. Someone please save me from these stupid compilers. * ace/Map: Broken g++ (2.7) has deformed my beautiful code based on typedefs and forced me to use their basic form. However, users should continue to use the typedefs provided as I do in the Map_Test. Fri Feb 05 21:57:24 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Map_T: Added a new Map mini framework to ACE. The classes in this mini framework allows the Map interface to be used without caring about the specific Map implementation being used. There is the class hierarchy of the framework: forwards ACE_Iterator --------> ACE_Iterator_Impl (abstract) ACE_Iterator_Impl is subclassed by: - ACE_Map_Impl_Iterator_Adapter - ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Iterator_Adapter - ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex_Iterator_Adapter - ACE_Map_Manager_Iterator_Adapter forwards ACE_Reverse_Iterator --------> ACE_Reverse_Iterator_Impl (abstract) ACE_Reverse_Iterator_Impl is subclassed by: - ACE_Map_Impl_Reverse_Iterator_Adapter - ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Reverse_Iterator_Adapter - ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex_Reverse_Iterator_Adapter - ACE_Map_Manager_Reverse_Iterator_Adapter ACE_Map is subclassed by: - ACE_Map_Impl - ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Adapter - ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex_Adapter - ACE_Map_Manager_Adapter Also included in the framework is a Key Generator class and a Key Adapter class. The Key Generator class is used by some map adapters to generate keys since the maps they adapt do not generate keys. The Key Adapter class is used by the active map adapter to allow encoding and decoding of active keys into user keys. Note that the iterators use the bridge pattern while the map class uses an abstract base class based inheritance approach. The reason for this is that STL containers return the iterators by value. An abstract base class cannot be returned by value. An alternative design would be to add an abstract base class that the ACE maps would derive from. Unfortunately, this would break many things including the ability to add these maps to shared memory and explicit template instantiations. This mini framework would have been idle to apply the external polymorphism pattern. However, the ACE map classes are different enough that adaption was necessary. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise since I was able to add extra common functionality such as the key generator and key adapter to the map adapters. I did add the external polymorphic subclasses to the framework for future use. The classes in this framework are as close STL containers as I would dare to make them ;) Thanks to Carlos for helping design them. * tests/Map_Test: New test to illustrate and test the workings of the new ACE Map classes. There are two aspect to this test: (a) functionality testing includes testing the iterators and various operations, and (b) performance testing to compare the relative performance of the maps. * ace/Pair: Added new Pair class to ACE that holds instances of the template arguments. Also, added a Reference_Pair class that only hold references of the template arguments. * ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.* (ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex): * ace/Map_Manager.* (Map_Manager): Added new rebind() methods to make interface compatible with other maps. Also, fixed the constness of some functions. * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.h: Fixed order of inclusion of template code. * ace/Active_Map_Manager_T.h (ACE_Active_Map_Manager): Added new versions of bind, find, and unbind to reduce the number of data copies. * ace/Active_Map_Manager.h (ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Key): Added the ability for the active key to encode and decode into and out of a data stream. This relieves the developer from concerning herself about the internal structure of the active key. * ace/config-win32-common.h: Define WIN32 if not already defined. * tests/SString_Test.cpp: Added testing for substring creation and comparisons. * ace/OS.h (ACE_dynamic_cast_*_ptr and ACE_dynamic_cast_*_ref): Added new macros to handle casting of template class. * tests/test_config.h: Removed global KEY class that was not being used anymore anyway. Fri Feb 05 21:12:56 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.20 released. Fri Feb 05 12:02:31 1999 Steve Huston * tests/run_tests.sh: Added SHLIB_PATH support for HP-UX. Fixed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting to work if there was no path set on entry to the script. * ace/config-hpux-9.x.h, config-hpux-(10,11).x-hpc++.h: Removed ACE_HAS_BROKEN_ENUMS. This affects the HP C++ compiler, not aC++. I made this change based on David's experience with the enums and Green Hills, below. If it causes any problems, let me know and I'll reset it. Fri Feb 05 10:11:18 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Log_Priority.h: changed ENSURE_32_BITS to LM_ENSURE_32_BITS, and its value from 0xffffffff to 0x7fffffff. Green Hills 1.8.9 properly complained that 0xffffffff doesn't fit into an int. * ace/config-sco-5.0.0-CC-fsu-pthread.h,config-sunos5.5.h, config-vxworks5.x.h: removed ACE_HAS_BROKEN_ENUMS, because it's not necessary with 0x7fffffff. Thu Feb 4 23:11:26 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.h: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.i: Added operator= to the ACE_URL_Addr classes. * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: Fixed minor memory allocation problem for invalid HTTP addresses. It removes './' when creating relative addresses. Wed Feb 03 21:50:09 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_ENUMS with Green Hills, because it's needed with 1.8.9. And, added ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY #define to 1, for Green Hills 1.8.9 (with __STANDARD_CXX #defined) only, because it doesn't work with 1.8.8. Thanks to Jacob Jones for reporting these. * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: with Green Hills 1.8.9 (with __STANDARD_CXX #defined), added ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY #define to 1. Wed Feb 03 14:57:21 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Thread_Manager.h (ACE_At_Thread_Exit[_Func]): Added ACE_Export keywords. Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum for pointing this out. * ace/Service_Config.{h,i,cpp}: Added one more argument to open methods that allows ignoring the default svc.conf file. You can still open svc.conf files using the -f option. Wed Feb 03 10:12:14 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release: fixed release_filter so that it doesn't put CVS files into the release. * ace/Object_Manager.h: updated comments to reflect that ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER is now #defined in several ace/config files, including that for Win32. Thanks to Dave Meyer for pointing that out. Wed Feb 3 09:30:11 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: Fixed some memory leaks. HTTP_Addr::create_relative_address supports the #label syntax. Wed Feb 03 07:02:49 1999 David L. Levine * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: commented out ACE_Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr explicit instantiation, because it's in ace/Memory_Pool.cpp. Tue Feb 2 21:35:21 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/007/client_handler.h: * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.h: A couple of syntax goofs. I'm surprised it compiled for anyone! * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.h: Changed ACE_Time_Value(0.25) to ACE_Time_Value(0,250000) * docs/tutorials/*/Makefile: Added '.depend' to the list of files removed by the CLEAN target. I shoulda' done this the other day. Tue Feb 2 20:02:22 1999 Darrell Brunsch * bin/make_release: Added .gz to the list of binary file extensions. Tue Feb 2 19:28:46 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * docs/tutorials: ACE-ified the first 11 tutorials. I hope James still recognizes this stuff now ;-) Tue Feb 2 19:12:50 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/001/logger.h (class Logging_Handler): Incorporated Pradeep's suggestion to get rid of the memset() and use the recv() return value to drop in the null-termination. Tue Feb 2 14:19:30 1999 Darrell Brunsch * websvcs/websvcs.dsw: * websvcs/lib/websvcs.dsw: * websvcs/lib/websvcs.dsp: * websvcs/tests/tests.dsw: * websvcs/tests/Test_URL_Addr.dsp: Added MSVC project files for the websvcs library. * websvcs/lib/URL_addr.cpp: Now correctly exports classes in DLLs. Tue Feb 2 12:48:34 1999 Jeff Parsons * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Changed the template type of the auto_ptr for char. We were getting a Purify FMR message on Unix. Tue Feb 2 12:27:13 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/ACE.cpp: Added an ACE_UNUSED_ARG for program_name for ACE::daemonize(). Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. * ace/OS.h: Generalized the WIF* macros so that they will be defined on any platform that lacks them, not just NT. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. Tue Feb 02 08:58:32 1999 Steve Huston * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp: Moved definition of status outside of ACE_HAS_THREADS condition since it's used in either case. Thanks to Frederic Andres for this fix. Mon Feb 01 23:16:34 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.19 released. Mon Feb 01 22:06:40 1999 David L. Levine * bin/make_release (create_kit): fixed typo, bin_files instead of binfiles. Mon Feb 01 21:24:45 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.18 released. Mon Feb 1 21:02:26 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/ace_dll.dsp: Some template files were being compiled in the Release/Unicode/Alpha configs. This is now not the case. Mon Feb 1 13:49:11 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/config-linux-common.h: Added a definition for ACE_TIMER_SKEW, apparently it is only needed in multiple CPU machines (with SMP enabled); but it did solve the problems with MT_Reactor_Timer_Test. Mon Feb 01 13:08:11 1999 Jeff Parsons * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Used an auto_ptr to manage a string sent to string_read(). I had included the .h file for auto ptrs (Carlos corrected my typo, see below), but had never checked in the code using auto_ptr. Mon Feb 01 12:54:11 1999 Steve Huston * ace/NT_Service.(h i): Some fixes provided by Martin Krumpolec - thanks to Martin for these! - Supplied missing ctor for name/desc variant. - svc() method is not pure virtual any longer to prevent SCP-type applications from having to override it and never use it. Mon Feb 1 12:04:35 1999 Darrell Brunsch * bin/make_release: Added zip and gif to the binary files in zips. Mon Feb 01 12:00:55 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: With CC 5.0, enabled explicit template instantiation and added ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAM. Early versions of CC 5.0 seem to have problems with automatic template instantiation and ACE_IOStream. * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: added CC 5.0 support to enable explicit template instantiation, and disable inlining by default. Thanks to Diethard Ohrt for confirming that above fixes allow ACE and TAO to build with CC 5.0. * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_{g++,ghs}.GNU: removed -lw from libs. It's not necessary, and apparently causes problems on Solaris 2.6, because libc now includes the code that was formerly in libw. Thanks to Steve Coleman for reporting this. Mon Feb 1 10:41:09 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: There was a typo in a included filename. Mon Feb 1 08:39:15 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Synch.h: Clarified that the ACE_Semaphore::acquire() is in absolute, rather than relative, time. Thanks to Jacques Salerian for reporting this. Sun Jan 31 20:10:23 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/OS.h: Just renamed the CDR byte order macros to something more reasonable. Sun Jan 31 18:19:45 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * docs/tutorials/Makefile: Now we can build the UNSHAR SHAR HTML right from the top-level. Thanks James! * tests/Process_Strategy_Test: Updated the test to use ACE::fork() and the new "avoid zombies" feature of ACE_Process_Strategy. * ace/ACE: Added a new version of fork() that can avoid creating zombies. Thanks to Garry Brother for this code. * ace/Strategies_T: Changed the ACE_Process_Strategy so that programmers can designate to not create zombies. Thanks to Garry Brother for this suggestion. * ace/ACE.cpp (daemonize): Only do a chdir if pathname != 0. * ace/ACE: Added a "program_name" argument to daemonize() so that we can set the program name. * docs/tutorials: Reformatted all the header files to conform to the ACE programming style. Sun Jan 31 16:09:55 1999 Jeff Parswons >parsons@cs.wustl.edu> * ACE_wrappers/tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Plugged a memory leak in a string read from the CDR stream. Thanks to Sangwoo Jin for pointing this out. * ace/CDR.{h,i,cpp}: Changed the name of the "base" class holding the constants to 'CDR' from 'ACE_CDR'. In leveraging this code in the TAO cdr classes, I've discovered that there are many files that use these constants, so probably best to keep the original name. Also made minor changes to read_string, read_wstring, append_string and append_wstring to prevent a memeory leak if the operation fails. Sun Jan 31 11:58:32 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/{010|011|012|013|017}: In all of these, I'd overridden open() as open(int) to specify the number of threads in a thread-pool. Steve Huston pointed out that this causes grief with some compilers. I've changed all of these open(int) overrides to start(int) instead. * docs/tutorials/017/Barrier_i.cpp (threads): The thr_equal() call was changed to !thr_equal(). * docs/tutorials/010/taks.cpp: Vishal recommended some extra commentation to make things a bit more clear WRT barrier synch. * docs/tutorials/013/page01.html: Added Kirthika's abstract. Sat Jan 30 16:03:23 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.h: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: The HTTP address class can create an URL_Addr from a path relative to it. This is useful when interpreting an address inside an HTML document. Sat Jan 30 13:34:00 1999 Nanbor Wang * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_sock_connector.cpp (main): Prevent the program from executing if compiled on non-NT Win32 platform without Winsock2 installed. Thanks to Greg Harrison for reporting ths problem. 1999-01-29 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): NT makes no claims about replacing previous mapping at the specified address. Therefore, I have added a new macro ACE_LACKS_AUTO_MMAP_REPLACEMENT which is defined if there is no system support for replacing any previous mappings. In this case, we unmap() before (potentially) mapping to the same location. ACE_LACKS_AUTO_MMAP_REPLACEMENT is defined on NT. Fri Jan 29 17:40:34 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.h: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: We were not checking against nil strings in several places, also fixed some uninitialized members in the HTTP_Addr constructors. * bin/auto_compile: Added protection against simultaneous executions of the script; it checks for .disable file on the $LOGDIR directory, if present it does not execute; if not present it creates one; the file is deleted at program termination. Fri Jan 29 16:25:22 1999 Steve Huston * ace/config-hpux-10.x-hpc++.h: Added ACE_HAS_GPERF. * apps/gperf/src/List_Node.cpp (ctor): Added ACE_const_cast to a char * initializer. * apps/gperf/src/Options.cpp: Fixed -j processing (typo). * docs/tutorials/017/barrier.cpp: Can't init a long with a thread ID. On HP-UX 10.20, it's a struct. * docs/tutorials/017/Barrier_i.cpp: Use ACE_OS::thr_equal to check equality of thread IDs. * docs/tutorials/019/server/cpp: Removed redefinition of char *s from 'for' loop. Works around a compiler issue, but isn't needed anyway. * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: On HP-UX 10.20, suppress (future)error 667 and warning 495 to stop hearing about the problems with the system-supplied header files. The compiler still says there was 1 future error, but at least it's easy to scan the output for real errors now. Fri Jan 29 14:49:37 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/ACE.cpp: * ace/Basic_Types.h: * ace/INET_Addr.cpp: * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: * ace/OS.cpp: * ace/OS.h: * ace/OS.i: * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Bcast.cpp: * ace/config-cray.h: * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/C-inserver.cpp: * examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Semaphores/Semaphores_1.cpp: * examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Semaphores/Semaphores_2.cpp: * include/makeinclude/platform_cray.GNU: * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp: * tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp: * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp: * tests/SV_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: * tests/run_tests.sh: Thanks to Doug Anderson for this port of ACE to Cray machines. Fri Jan 29 13:51:40 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h: Removed definition of ACE_Thread_State. * ace/Thread_Manager.*: Changed the ACE_Thread_State as a bunch of bit-masks so we don't overwrite the thread states accidentally. Thanks to Tom Dobridge for reporting the bug. 1999-01-28 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.cpp (open): this->close_i() must be called *before* the allocators are changed. * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (open): Close the old map (if any) before creating the new map. This also make open() reentrant. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for reporting this bug. Thu Jan 28 19:08:25 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Active_Map_Manager_T.h: Steve's change didn't make it, so I changed BASE to ACE_AMM_BASE, I don't know about the pragma. Thu Jan 28 16:43:17 1999 Steve Huston * ace/Active_Map_Manager_T.(h i): Renamed BASE to ACE_AMM_BASE - BASE conflicted with something in AIX xlC. Also fixed #pragma implementatation to work on xlC. Thu Jan 28 10:04:39 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.cpp: Reverted to version 4.2, thanks to Kirthika for helping find this one. Thu Jan 28 09:11:29 1999 Andreas Tobler * ace/config-linuxppcr5.h: added this config file, for LinuxPPC R5 platforms. Thu Jan 28 08:55:21 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-mklinux.h: replaced ACE_HAS_SOCKLEN_T, removed __USE_XOPEN. Thanks to Andreas Tobler for these clarifying this. Wed Jan 27 19:12:48 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/008/*: * docs/tutorials/009/*: * docs/tutorials/011/*: * docs/tutorials/012/*: Updates from the reviewers. Wed Jan 27 17:06:38 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Makefile: removed some unprintable characters. Wed Jan 27 16:31:01 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/Makefile: Added LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor to TEMPLATE_FILES list. Wed Jan 27 14:50:13 1999 Nanbor Wang * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/main.cpp: Changed to open the Service_Config object with ignore_static_svc set to 0. That allows this example to use static service. (By default, static services are not loaded.) Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. Wed Jan 27 13:47:00 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: use double double quotes around COMPILE argument to ace_ld, but only on WIN32 hosts. Thanks to Peter Weat for figuring this out. Wed Jan 27 13:04:55 1999 David L. Levine * ACE version 4.6.17 released. Wed Jan 27 12:32:22 1999 David L. Levine * ACE-INSTALL.html,include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: default PERL_PATH to "perl", and added notes to set it to the full perl path if perl is not on your path. Wed Jan 27 10:16:06 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: Added an entry for the creation of files containing template code. Tue Jan 26 20:44:36 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/SOCK_IO.cpp (send,recv): Changed to use sendv/recvv to handle variable arguments send/recv. * ACE-INSTALL.html: Fixed the dead link to CE-status. Thanks to Mike Preradovic for reporting this. Tue Jan 26 14:38:11 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: expanded the information on the PERL_PATH environment variable for NT hosts. Thanks to Peter Weat for reporting this. Tue Jan 26 13:40:51 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (elapsed_time_incr): Rearranged the formula to avoid compilation errors for platforms without ULONGLONG. Thanks to David for the tip. Tue Jan 26 12:01:19 1999 Jeff Parsons * ACE_wrappers/tests/CDR_Test.dsp: * ACE_wrappers/tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Added lines to the test code to send the output to the log file, and deleted the unnecessary Header Files folder in the project. * ace/CDR.{i,cpp}: Relocated the longdouble comparison operators' definitions, and moved a misplaced '}', which were causing build errors. Tue Jan 26 10:55:02 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/Active_Map_Manager.h: The _T.h file has to be included *after* the inclusion of the .i file, otherwise the template may not see the inline functions; the problem only showed up on IRIX. Mon Jan 25 22:11:36 1999 Jeff Parsons * ACE_wrappers/tests/CDR_Test.dsp: * ACE_wrappers/tests/tests.dsw: * ACE_wrappers/tests/versions_tests/CDR_Test.dsp: * ACE_wrappers/tests/versions_tests/version_tests.dsw: * ACE_wrappers/tests/run_tests.sh: * ACE_wrappers/tests/run_tests.psosim: * ACE_wrappers/tests/run_tests.bat: * ACE_wrappers/tests/run_tests.vxworks: Fixed the project files (they had incorrrect project settings, I think) and updated the workspace files. Also, on a tip from Nanbor, added CDR_Test to the various run_tests files. Mon Jan 25 20:22:01 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR.{h,i,cpp}: * ace/Basic_Types.h: * ACE_Wrappers/tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Better design of ACE CDR, compiles and runs on NT, g++ and CC. Mon Jan 25 09:35:42 1999 Steve Huston * ace/ACE.cpp (handle_timed_complete): If connect times out, set errno to ETIMEDOUT, not ETIME. Matches what will happen if a simple blocking connect times out. * ace/OS.i (ACE_OS::accept, ACE_OS::recv): (only non-Win32), if call fails and errno is EAGAIN, change it to EWOULDBLOCK. * tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp: Remove EAGAIN hacks; above changes fix this for all programs. Sun Jan 24 22:04:42 1999 David L. Levine * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added operator==/!= guideline. Sun Jan 24 20:25:44 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace: When a class provides operator==, it must also provide operator!=. Also, both these operators should be const. Fixed the above violations in: ACE_TSS_Ref ACE_Thread_ID ACE_Registry::Binding ACE_Registry::Name_Component ACE_Active_Map_Manager_Key * ace/Map_Manager: Renamed methods that may become identical if INT_ID is the same as size_t. Thanks to Ossama for helping with this. Sun Jan 24 19:46:55 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR.{h,i,cpp}: * ace/Basic_Types.h: Made some fixes to make DEC cxx happy, but I'm going to undo many of the typedefs and change the design. These changes will hopefully lead to a clean build with cxx, but the CDR classes are not yet in finished form. Sun Jan 24 19:26:34 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/SString.cpp (set): Fixed usage case of when the incoming string is not zero but the length specified is zero. * tests/SString_Test.cpp (main): Added zero sized strings and single character strings to the test. Sun Jan 24 19:09:45 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-win32-common.h (ACE_HAS_WORKING_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR): VC apparently does it right. Sun Jan 24 17:22:02 1999 Ossama Othman * ace/SString.cpp (substring): the variable "length" was misspelled on one of the lines in the method. Sun Jan 24 16:17:58 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/README: * ace/OS.h: * ace/config-g++-common.h: * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: * ace/config-psos-diab.h: * ace/config-psos-tm.h: Replace ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR with ACE_HAS_WORKING_EXPLITCIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR to reflect the true problem. Thanks to Ossama for suggesting the name. Sun Jan 24 16:20:17 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/ACE-FMM: Added an entry about the DONT_CALL flag to remove_handler(). * docs/tutorials/00[45789]: * docs/tutorials/01[012]: Many changes from Yamuna, Pradeep, Kirthika and Ossama. In all, there were 62 files changed. Mostly the .html's due to recombination and colorization. Sun Jan 24 14:23:07 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SString.cpp: The substring() method did not check for zero length. Thanks to Mike Goldman for this fix. Sun Jan 24 02:08:57 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.h: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.i: * websvcs/tests/Test_URL_Addr.cpp: Added support for mailto: URLs Sat Jan 23 23:53:29 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * websvcs/Makefile: * websvcs/lib/Makefile: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.h: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.i: * websvcs/lib/URL_Addr.cpp: * websvcs/tests/Makefile: * websvcs/tests/Test_URL_Addr.cpp: Added a small library to keep basic Web related wrappers. The first set is a small collection of URL address classes, including HTTP and FTP representations. Sat Jan 23 23:26:17 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/High_Res_Timer.{h,cpp} (elapsed_time_incr): Added a new function to access the incremental timer in nanosecond. Sat Jan 23 23:08:27 1999 Jeff Parsons * ace/CDR.{h,i,cpp}: Caught numerous inline ordering errors and mistakes in long double functions (not defined on NT) with g++. Sat Jan 23 21:13:47 1999 Jeff Parsons * tests/tests.dsw: * tests/CDR_Test.dsp: * tests/Makefile: * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: New test in the suite for the new ACE CDR classes (see below). * TAO/TAOACE.dsw: * TAO/TAOACE_static.dsw: * ace/Makefile: * ace/CDR.{h,i,cpp}: * ace/OS.h: * ace/Basic_Types.h: CDR stuff modified from TAO library. Typedefs, default constants and macros added to OS.h and Basic_Types.h. There is now complete CDR functionality in ACE, except for the interpreter, and thus also no handling of Any or TypeCode types. Sat Jan 23 17:50:22 1999 Steve Huston * tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp: 1. Check for EAGAIN as well as EWOULDBLOCK after an accept fail (this change will probably be removed at some point when we figure out how to handle EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK). 2. Close the ACE_SOCK_Acceptor in the server before going into the "reap children" loop so any half-connected clients will get closed. Sat Jan 23 17:25:48 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.{h,cpp}: Reverted changes made since the ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex was getting used in shared memory and hence could not have "virtual" methods. Sat Jan 23 04:53:12 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Active_Map_Manager: Added a new associative container (map abstraction) that associates system generated keys with user specified values. Since the key is system generated, searches are very fast and take a constant amount of time. This map uses a key that keeps information of the index and the generation count of the slot it represents. Since the index information is part of the key, lookups are super fast and predictable. This performance of this map is truely awesome: - inserts O(1) worse case - lookups O(1) worse case - deletes O(1) worse case * ace/Map_Manager: Completely reworked the internals of the Map_Manager. A number of problems were addressed: (a) Finding an empty slot took O(n). New code takes O(1). (b) Resizing was lame as it increased by ACE_DEFAULT_MAP_SIZE everytime. The new scheme is cool since it grows exponentially up to 64K and after that grow in chunks of 32K. (c) Old scheme used a simple but inefficient flag. The new scheme uses two doubly linked list to track used and free slots. Note that this scheme still uses an array to manage the search structure but manages the two linked list on top of the array. Thanks to Carlos for this cool idea. (d) current_size() was broken. This is fixed in the new code. (e) Inlined a bunch of small functions. * tests/SString_Test.cpp: Added empty string test. * ace/Containers_T.h (operator=): ACE_Array_Base must be fully qualified: ACE_Array_Base. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for pointing this out. * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp (test_map_manager): Added Active_Map_Manager to the test. Fri Jan 22 21:27:14 1999 Kirthika Parameswaran * ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.h (class ACE_Hash_Map_Entry): Modified the destructor to be "virtual" so that it gets invoked on the destruction of its derived class objects. (class ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex): Modified the destructor to be "virtual" so that it gets invoked on the destruction of its derived class objects. Modified shared_find () to be "virtual" so that it can be defined in its derived classes. Declared a virtual method for creating new entries for the map called create_entry (). * ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.cpp (create_entry): Added this virtual method which creates a new map entry. This is necessary to allow the map to contain various types of map entries. (bind_i): (trybind_i): (unbind_i): Used create_entry () to obtain a new entry object. * ace/Hash_Purgable_Map_Manager_T.{h,i,cpp}: The ACE_Hash_Purgable_Map_Manager_Ex derives from ACE_Hash_Map_Manager_Ex and provides the feature of purging K entries from the map. The default purging algorithm is Least Recently Used, which has been implemented using a virtual timer that increments whenever an entry is looked up or used. Each entry has a purge_tag which is the timestamp updated by the timer value whenever it is referenced. The entry is an object of ACE_Hash_Purgable_Map_Entry class which is derived from ACE_Hash_Map_Entry. (purge): This is the method which flushes K entries from the map. Locks are held. (purge_i): This method also flushes K entries but w.o. locks being held. (create_entry): Creates an ACE_Hash_Purgable_Map_Entry object. (shared_find): This method is used to lookup and verify whether an entry is present in the map. Also, the purge_tag of the entry is updated with the current timer value. * tests/Purgable_Map_Manager.cpp: Added this test which illustrates the use of the Hash_Purgable_Map_Manager to maintain a cache map. Also displays the change in the map size on purging. Fri Jan 22 16:10:35 1999 Steve Huston * ace/Select_Reactor_Base.cpp (ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::handle_input) EAGAIN is also a legit errno value (not only EWOULDBLOCK) for end of data on pipe. Makes count of dispatches returned from ACE_Select_Reactor's handle_events correct in the presence of notifications. * ace/OS.i (ACE_OS::sema_init): Always init s->name_ to 0, else it might be non-zero (and junk) when deleted. * ace/config-hpux11.h: Added an overrideable ACE_TIMER_SKEW of 10 msec. Fri Jan 22 15:07:08 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Containers_T.cpp: Yikes, don't delete the fixed stack since it wasn't allocated dynamically! Thanks to Mike Goldman for this fix! Fri Jan 22 13:08:00 1999 Chris Gill * ace/ACE.{cpp, h}: added static methods ACE::gcd, which computes the greatest common divisor of two u_longs using Euclid's algorithm, and ACE::minimum_frame size, which computes the minimum enclosing frame size for two u_longs. Thu Jan 21 20:45:09 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/006/client_acceptor.h * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.h * docs/tutorials/006/page01.html * docs/tutorials/006/page02.html * docs/tutorials/006/page03.html * docs/tutorials/006/page04.html * docs/tutorials/006/page05.html Integrated changes from Vishal and Kirthika * docs/tutorials/008/combine.shar * docs/tutorials/008/page02.html * docs/tutorials/008/page03.html * docs/tutorials/008/page04.html * docs/tutorials/009/combine.shar * docs/tutorials/009/directed_client.cpp * docs/tutorials/009/page01.html * docs/tutorials/009/page02.html * docs/tutorials/009/page03.html * docs/tutorials/009/page04.html * docs/tutorials/009/page05.html * docs/tutorials/009/server.cpp Changes from Kirthika plus colorization. Thu Jan 21 16:01:50 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/007/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/007/combine.shar: * docs/tutorials/007/page01.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page02.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page03.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page04.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page05.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page06.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page07.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page08.html: * docs/tutorials/007/page09.html: * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.cpp: * docs/tutorials/008/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/008/combine.shar: * docs/tutorials/008/directed_client.cpp: * docs/tutorials/008/page01.html: * docs/tutorials/008/page02.html: * docs/tutorials/008/page03.html: * docs/tutorials/008/page04.html: * docs/tutorials/008/page05.html: * docs/tutorials/008/server.cpp: * docs/tutorials/009/Makefile: Included Kirthika's abstract. Colorized both tutorials & convereted to new format. Thu Jan 21 14:25:58 1999 David L. Levine * ace/SString.h: changed !ACE_HAS_WINCE wrap of ostream operators to !ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY. * ace/OS.i (getuid): added static cast of -1 to uid_t on Chorus, to avoid compiler warning about change in sign. * ace/OS.h: moved (protected) MAXHOSTNAMELEN #define from pSOS and NT-only code to where its visible on all platforms. When we removed the #include of rpc.h, we lost the #define of MAXHOSTNAMELEN on Chorus. Thu Jan 21 15:19:26 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/001/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/001/page01.html: * docs/tutorials/001/page02.html: * docs/tutorials/001/page03.html: * docs/tutorials/001/page04.html: * docs/tutorials/001/page05.html: * docs/tutorials/005/client_handler.cpp: * docs/tutorials/005/page02.html: * docs/tutorials/005/page03.html: * docs/tutorials/005/page04.html: * docs/tutorials/005/page05.html: * docs/tutorials/005/page06.html: * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp: * docs/tutorials/006/page01.html: * docs/tutorials/006/page02.html: * docs/tutorials/006/page03.html: * docs/tutorials/006/page04.html: * docs/tutorials/006/page05.html: Incorporated new comments from Vishal, Yamuna and Pradeep. Thu Jan 21 13:05:31 1999 Steve Huston * docs/tutorials/Makefile: Removed include .depend to allow the whole set of tutorials to be built from the top. Thanks to James Johnson for guiding this fix. Wed Jan 20 19:47:16 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.{h,i,cpp} (fopen): Reimplement fopen using Win32 APIs so ACE_OS::unlink behaves the same as it does on UNIX platforms. Both ACE_OS::open and ACE_OS::fopen have been corrected. There's also a ACE::open_temp_file which should be the prefered method to open temp files when ACE_HANDLE is used. That's because Win32 tries to map the file opened by ACE::open_temp_file to memory. * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (symbol): need to be initialized. Thanks to David for reporting the bug. Wed Jan 20 17:37:21 1999 Steve Huston * ace/Log_Msg.h: Added "do {} while (0)" as defs for ACE_HEX_DUMP, ACE_ERROR, ACE_DEBUG when ACE_NLOGGING is defined. Having null defs for these caused MSVC some problems. Thanks to Doug Schmidt for giving (and explaining) the correct definitions. Wed Jan 20 13:38:03 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.i (readdir_r): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (entry) without ACE_HAS_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS. * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added guideline for calling ACE_OS::unlink () immediately after opening a temporary file. * *.h: replaced () around #pragma implementation argument. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind and Steve Huston for reporting and confirming that it's necessary on AIX. Wed Jan 20 01:48:21 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (symbol): Remembered to pass down the "gobbler" in a Static_Function_Node. Thanks to Eric C. Newton for reporting and providing the fix. Tue Jan 19 17:52:49 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SString.h: Clarified the role of the argument for the method. Thanks to Sudhanshu Garg for suggesting this. Tue Jan 19 16:15:26 1999 David L. Levine * OS.i,README,config-cygwin32-common.h,config-linux-common.h, config-psos-diab.h,config-psos-tm.h,config-psosim-g++.h, config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,config-sco-5.0.0.h, config-tandem.h: removed removed include of rpc/rpc.h, and ACE_LACKS_RPC_H. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for initially suggesting this, and to Russ Noseworthy for reporting another problem (on SunOS 5.6 w/o threads) with it. ACE doesn't need it. * bin/g++dep: removed /project/doc/pkg/gnu/bin from PATH so that I can run make depend on Linux. Tue Jan 19 12:14:09 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * Makefile (CONTROLLED_FILES): Added ChangeLog-98b to the CONTROLLED_FILES macro. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for suggesting this. Tue Jan 19 10:24:00 1999 Chris Gill * apps/JAWS/PROTOTYPE/HTTPU/HTTPU.{dsp, dsw}: converted to MSVC++ 6.0 (and backward compatible) format. * apps/JAWS/PROTOTYPE/HTTPU/http_headers.{cpp, h}: fixed ACE_RB_Tree templates, template instantiations. Thanks to Sridhar Sabella (ssabbella@cemax.com) for pointing this out. Tue Jan 19 00:42:44 1999 Irfan Pyarali * examples/Log_Msg/test_callback.cpp (log): Removed the use of cerr and used ACE_OS::printf() instead. * ace/Log_Record.cpp (print): Fixed comparison between signed and unsigned. Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out. Mon Jan 18 23:55:03 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added more info on Alpha configuration problems and fixes. Mon Jan 18 23:07:38 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.cpp (open): Files opened with CreateFileA (on Win32 of course,) are now opened with FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag set. This allows ACE_OS::unlink to work as it should. However, I haven't figured out how to make unlink work with file opened with fopen yet. Apparently, fopen does not open file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE. Mon Jan 18 22:54:18 1999 Darrell Brunsch * ace/ace_dll.dsp: * ace/ace_lib.dsp: Updated NT Alpha configurations. * apps/gperf/src/gperf.dsp: * apps/gperf/src/gperf_lib.dsp: Added NT Alpha configurations. Mon Jan 18 22:14:00 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/011/message_queue.cpp: * docs/tutorials/011/page02.html: ACE_Message_Block::copy() will advance the wr_ptr() for us. Previously, I was doing that myself in run_test(). The test only worked because I never wrote data to the block after that. If I had, things would have broken horribly. Mon Jan 18 20:41:48 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Message_Block.h: Clarified that the wr_ptr() is incremented by n as a result of the copy operation. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for suggesting this. * ace/INET_Addr.h (ACE_INET_Addr): Changed the default for ipaddr_format to 1 (which is what it had been originally) rather than 0 since the original way is faster since it doesn't use DNS. Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic for finding this. Mon Jan 18 20:31:47 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp: Typo... * docs/tutorials/006/*.html: * docs/tutorials/006/combine.shar: Colorized, added Kirthika's abstract. Mon Jan 18 16:19:56 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.cpp (open): If a file is open with _O_TEMPORARY flag set on Win32, we also set the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY so OS will try to cache it in memory to speed up access. * ace/ACE.cpp (open_temp_file): On Win32, temporary file should be opened with _O_TEMPORARY flag set, not FILE_DELETE_ON_CLOSE. * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: My previous fix of avoiding multiple definition of ACE_NDEBUG was not correct. Now the macro check where should the definition go to. Thanks to David for showing me the right way to do this. Mon Jan 18 11:23:06 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x-sgic++.GNU: Added the -multigot flag when building shared libraries, otherwise TAO/orbsvcs is too big. Mon Jan 18 09:54:54 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: moved ACE_HAS_PRIOCNTL #define so that it's defined even without threads. Thanks to Russ Noseworthy for reporting this. * ace/OS.cpp (lwp_getparams): removed ACE_MT_SAFE check that Doug added Saturday. It's not necessary with the above fix to config-sunos5.5.h. * examples/Log_Msg/test_ostream.cpp: don't try to create the ofstream if ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY. Also, removed declarations of unused argc/argv arguments because some g++ versions complain about them. Mon Jan 18 08:17:49 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SOCK_IO.cpp, ace/SOCK_Dgram.cpp: Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (timeout); to the #else part of the recv (iovec *) methods. Thanks to Mike Goldman for reporting this. Mon Jan 18 01:13:57 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h: ACE_TRY_NEW_ENV also needs to define a new CORBA::Environment even with native exceptions. Mark exception caught by ACE_CATCH as unused arg to avoid compilation warnings. Mon Jan 18 00:12:13 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.16 released. Sun Jan 17 16:40:22 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Reactor_Exceptions_Test.cpp (main): Changed the LM_INFO message to indicate that C++ exception support isn't ENABLED on a platform, rather than saying that it's not supported at all... Sun Jan 17 15:16:35 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/SString.cpp (operator<<): The operator<< used to print out ACE_WString caused an infinite loop on platform without UNICODE defined because we didn't convert the wide string on these platform. However, since an ACE_WString always contains a wide string, the conversion from wide string to char string should always be done here. Thanks to Scott Snyder for noticing this bug. (operator<<): Changed the ACE_SString and ACE_CString version to check against the case when the internal contains 0. The ACE_CString version was printing out the string one char a time. Can't see any reason why this is done like this. Changed to print out the underlying directly. Sun Jan 17 14:42:39 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/001/*: * docs/tutorials/002/*: * docs/tutorials/003/*: * docs/tutorials/004/*: * docs/tutorials/005/*: Converted to the new (colorized) format used by T13 and beyond. I will convert the remaining tutorials (6-12) as each is reviewed. * docs/tutorials/005/fix.Makefile: * docs/tutorials/006/fix.Makefile: * docs/tutorials/007/fix.Makefile: Replaced by ../fix.Makefile. * docs/tutorials/010/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/011/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/012/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/013/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/014/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/016/Makefile: * docs/tutorials/017/Makefile: These all referenced ../007/fix.Makefile. They now reference ../fix.Makefile instead. Sun Jan 17 13:50:16 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/002/handler.h: * docs/tutorials/002/handler.h: * docs/tutorials/002/page03.html: * docs/tutorials/003/client.cpp: * docs/tutorials/003/page01.html: * docs/tutorials/004/page01.html: * docs/tutorials/005/client_handler.h: * docs/tutorials/005/page02.html: * docs/tutorials/005/page04.html: * docs/tutorials/005/page05.html: * docs/tutorials/005/server.cpp: More improvements from Doug's class (and Ossama). Each "page2" includes an abstract by Kirthika. Reviewers to date: Yamuna Krishnamurthy Kirthika Parameswaran Balachandran Natarajan Pradeep Gore Ossama Othman Sat Jan 16 19:08:12 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: Added #ifdef so high-res timers work correctly on KCC. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * tests/test_config.h: Updated randomize() so that it uses a "fixed" seed, so that it will produce "reusable" random numbers. * include/makeinclude/platform_linux_kcc.GNU (LD): Added the -lm flag. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * tests/run_tests.sh: Added an LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../netsvcs/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that we can use a relative name for the svc.conf files used in the Time_Service_Test and Tokens_Test. * ace/config-irix6.x-common.h: Added support for long double for KCC. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * ace/config-irix6.x-kcc.h: Added KCC support. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: Added KCC support. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * ace/IOStream.h: Fixed up the PUT_CODE and GET_CODE macros so that they work with KCC. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * ace/Env_Value_T.h (ACE_Convert): Added a new ACE_Convert constructor for u_int so that TAO compiles correctly with KCC. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0_kcc.GNU: Added a new platform config file for KCC. Thanks to Scott Snyder for contributing this. Sat Jan 16 18:13:29 1999 Nanbor Wang * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Commented out adding ACE_NDEBUG to CCFLAGS to avoid defining it twice. Most (if not all) platforms include CFLAGS into CCFLAGS. So, if "make debug=0" no longer work on your platform, then, you may need to add "CCFLAGS += $(CFLAGS)" into your platform_xxx.GNU. Sat Jan 16 13:40:40 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Proactor.cpp (schedule_timer): Had to add an ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_THREAD_MUTEX in place of ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex to avoid problems when threads=0. * ace/OS.cpp (lwp_getparams): For some reason we had to add # if defined (ACE_HAS_STHREADS) || (defined (sun) && (ACE_MT_SAFE != 0)) instead of # if defined (ACE_HAS_STHREADS) || defined (sun) to avoid problems when threads=0. * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: Replaced some ACE_Thread_Mutex decls with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX to avoid problems with threads=0. * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: If defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L) || defined (__EXTENSIONS__) then #define ACE_HAS_SIGWAIT to avoid compilation errors. Thanks to Russ Noseworthy for reporting this. * ace/OS.i: Fixed the ACE_OS::readdir_r() so that it doesn't fail if threads are disabled via "make threads=0". Thanks to Russ Noseworthy for reporting this. * ace/FILE_Connector.h (ACE_FILE_Connector): Added the O_CREAT flag to the list of flags passed to connect(). This ensures that the file is created if it doesn't already exist. Thanks to Pradeep Gore for reporting this. Fri Jan 15 21:28:04 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Log_Msg (ACE_Log_Msg_Callback): Added an interface class used for getting logging callbacks. Users who are interested in getting the logging messages directly, can subclass this interface and override the log() method. They must then register their subclass with the Log_Msg class and make sure that they turn on the ACE_Log_Msg::MSG_CALLBACK flag. Your log() routine is called with an instance of ACE_Log_Record. From this class, you can get the log message, the verbose log message, message type, message priority, and so on. Remember that there is one Log_Msg object per thread. Therefore, you may need to register your callback object with many Log_Msg objects (and have the correct synchronization in the log() method) or have a separate callback object per Log_Msg object. Thanks to Chris Lahey for suggesting this and send patches. * examples/Log_Msg/test_callback.cpp: Added new example for Log_Msg. This program tests the Log_Msg abstraction wrt writing to user defined callback objects. Fri Jan 15 21:10:25 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h: Made sure ACE_CORBA_HAS_EXCEPTIONS always gets set properly. Added ACE_ADPOT_CORBA_ENV to reuse a existing CORBA::Environment variable. Fri Jan 15 17:05:12 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Log_Record: Factored out the redundant formatting code. The new scheme also allows the end user to get to verbose formatted string. Thanks to Nanbor for helping out with this. Fri Jan 15 17:15:18 EST 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/templates.html docs/tutorials/001/acceptor.h docs/tutorials/001/logger.h docs/tutorials/001/page01.html docs/tutorials/001/page02.html docs/tutorials/001/page03.html docs/tutorials/001/page04.html docs/tutorials/001/page05.html docs/tutorials/001/server.cpp docs/tutorials/003/page01.html Many changes from Ossama plus a new abstract (for T3) from Kirthika. Fri Jan 15 14:40:26 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SOCK_IO, ace/SOCK_Dgram: Modified the recv(iovec *) and recvv(iovec *) methods so that they use select() to avoid spinning if no data is available. Thanks to Mike Goldman for this fix. Fri Jan 15 10:47:26 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Service_Repository.cpp: If a service being removed from the Service_Repository used the Service_Repository while being removed it could access objects that had already been deleted. Fix this by decrementing the current_size_ member in "real-time". Thanks to Eric Newton for reporting this. Fri Jan 15 08:08:31 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.15 released. Fri Jan 15 07:20:46 1999 Chris Gill * ace/OS.i: Fixed variable names in isatty () on NT Fri Jan 15 03:45:46 1999 Nanbor Wang * docs/exceptions.html: Rewrote the exception handling guildlines based on ACE's try macros. Fri Jan 15 01:32:55 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.14 released. Fri Jan 15 00:03:32 1999 Irfan Pyarali * examples/Log_Msg/test_ostream.cpp: Added new example for Log_Msg. This program tests the Log_Msg abstraction wrt writing to stderr and to a file. Thu Jan 14 21:50:22 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/CORBA_macros.h: Added a new set of try macros which help application developers write portable code that handles CORBA::Exception portably. The macros will work with any ORB. The total number of macros has reduces significantly and they should be much easier to use because the rules all follow the same style. The new try macros should be prefered over the original try macro in $TAO_ROOT/TAO/try_macros.h because those macros will soon be *DEPRICATED* once we finished convert TAO to use the new macros. Please see ACE_wrappers/docs/exceptions.html for guidelines and rules of using ACE's try macros. Thu Jan 14 20:41:33 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/OS: Moved some code around to consolidate the getuid() and isatty() functions. * ace/OS: Added support for the setuid() call. Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for suggesting this. Thu Jan 14 16:18:37 EST 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/001/page02.html: docs/tutorials/001/page03.html: Included Kirthika Parameswaran's abstract and analogy. Thanks Kirthika! * docs/tutorials/001/Source.tgz: docs/tutorials/001/acceptor.h: docs/tutorials/001/logger.h: docs/tutorials/001/server.cpp: docs/tutorials/001/page[345].html: * docs/tutorials/002/page0[23].html: docs/tutorials/002/handler.h: Added improvements from Kirthika, Pradeep and Yamuna Thu Jan 14 11:46:25 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Synch_T.h: Pointed out that we can only parameterize ACE_Condition<> with ACE_Thread_Mutex and ACE_...Null_Mutex. Thanks to Knut-Havard Aksnes for reporting this. Thu Jan 14 02:33:37 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.13 released. Thu Jan 14 00:07:34 1999 Irfan Pyarali * docs/tutorials/014/stream.cpp: Added #include "ace/streams.h". Wed Jan 13 23:18:03 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h: * config-g++-common.h: * config-osf1-4.0.h: * config-psos-diab.h: * config-psos-tm.h: Revert my previous change. Removed the ChangeLog entry about the change. Wed Jan 13 22:30:49 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: removed explicit link with libedgnoe.a, because GreenHills adds that implicitly. * ace/OS.h: added quick hack to ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR logic to allow compilation with g++. Wed Jan 13 18:48:30 EST 1999 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/004/client.cpp: docs/tutorials/010/message_queue.cp: docs/tutorials/011/message_queue.cpp: docs/tutorials/012/message_queue.cpp: docs/tutorials/013/message_queue.cpp: docs/tutorials/014/EndTask.h: docs/tutorials/019/client.cpp: docs/tutorials/019/client2.cpp: docs/tutorials/019/server.cpp: docs/tutorials/019/server2.cpp: docs/tutorials/019/shmem.cpp: docs/tutorials/020/client.cpp: docs/tutorials/020/server.cpp: docs/tutorials/021/client.cpp: docs/tutorials/021/mpool.cpp: docs/tutorials/021/mpool.h: docs/tutorials/021/server.cpp: Fixed many NT issues found by Irfan. Most are related to the fact that NT doesn't have SysV shared memory. Wed Jan 13 04:45:59 1999 James C Hu * ace/Cache_Object.{h,cpp}: * ace/Cache_Manager.{h,cpp}: * ace/Cache_Manager_T.{h,cpp}: * ace/Cache_Hash_T.{h,cpp}: * ace/Cache_Heap_T.{h,cpp}: * ace/Hash_Bucket_T.{h,cpp}: Supporting infrastructure for the new Filecache. These classes form the basis of a generic in memory cache engine. Wed Jan 13 02:17:57 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/OS.cpp (writev): This function should use ACE::write_n instead of ACE::send_n. Similarly, readv() should use ACE::read_n instead of ACE::recv_n. * ace/ACE.cpp (send): This function should use ACE_OS::sendv instead of ACE_OS::writev. Similarly, recv() should use ACE_OS::recvv instead of ACE_OS::readv. * docs/tutorials: Fixed all the NT project files. Tue Jan 12 22:41:05 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-freebsd.h: Uncommented ACE_HAS_SIGWAIT. This is required for FreeBSD 2.2.8. Thanks to John Aughey for reporting this. * ace/SOCK_IO.{h,i}: * ace/SOCK_Stream.{h,i} (sendv_n/recvv_n): Moved these functions from SOCK_IO to SOCK_Stream where it makes more sense to have the semantic of sending/receiving bytes. Tue Jan 12 19:52:26 1999 Nanbor Wang * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added more info on dynamically linking run-time libraries. * ace/SOCK_IO.{h,i,cpp} (sendv,recvv,sendv_n,recvv_n): Renamed vector send_n/recv_n. There were name clashing since these methods have similar signatures to some send_n/recv_n in ACE_SOCK_Stream, they got hidden by the derived methods. Renaming them solve the problem. Tue Jan 12 10:59:58 1999 David L. Levine * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: fixed location of libedgenoe.a, so that a symlink in $(GHS_DIR) is no longer necessary. Thanks to Steve Kay for reporting this. * ace/config-mklinux.h: removed ACE_HAS_SOCKLEN_T, added __USE_XOPEN. Thanks to Andreas Tobler for these updates. Tue Jan 12 08:44:11 EST 1999 Aniruddha Gokhale * ace/Acceptor.cpp (handle_close): Since the reactor_ data member is made private, we need to use its accessor method to retrieve it. Tue Jan 12 02:12:38 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h (ACE_DES_NO_FREE,ACE_DES_FREE): These two macros shouldn't be treated differently no matter ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR is defined or not. Otherwise, virtual destructor won't work in one of the original definitions. There shouldn't be different different definitions for calling template destructor explicitly either. However, we need to find that out. The meaning of ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR seems to be reversed. That needs to be fixed also. Tue Jan 12 00:18:15 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Event_Handler.h: Moved the priority_ and reactor_ data members into the private section of the class since these can always be accessed via their accessor methods. Thanks to Mike Goldman for reporting this. Mon Jan 11 15:30:26 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Process.{h,i} (get_process_attributes,get_thread_attributes): Removed the constness from the return value to avoid Intel C++ warnings. Thanks to Karel Zuiderveld for reporting this. * bin/ADDIDL.DSM: A VB script to add new IDL files into DevStudio projects. Thanks to Peter for contributing this nice tool. Mon Jan 11 12:54:26 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/SOCK_IO: Added const qualifiers to all the send*() and recv*() methods that take ACE_Time_Value values. Thanks to Jody Hagins for reporting this. * ace/SOCK_IO: Added a new send_n() method that uses the new ACE::sendv_n() method! * ace/ACE: Added a new sendv_n() and writev_n() method that sends all the bytes in the iovec! * ace/ACE.h (ACE): Added default values of 0 for ACE::writev() and ACE::readv(). * examples/NT_Service: Tidied up the formatting to conform to the ACE programming guidelines. Mon Jan 11 10:23:06 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Added ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R. * ace/config-freebsd.h: Added ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R, ACE_HAS_NONCONST_MSGSND, ACE_LACKS_MALLOC_H. ACE_HAS_SIGINFO_T only applies to 3.0 and above. Thanks to Ivan Pascal for reporting the change. Sun Jan 10 21:52:57 1999 David L. Levine * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp (iterator_test): added comment explaining why a message queue size of 32 Kb is used, instead of the default of 16 Kb. * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added guidelines for boolean types and function return values. Sun Jan 10 17:33:29 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp: Replaced delete mb with mb->release(). Thanks to Susan Liebeskind for reporting this inconsistency. * ace/Task_T.h, ace/Message_Queue_T.h: Clarified the fact that the ACE_Time_Value arguments to the Message_Queue methods use absolute, rather than relative, time. Thanks to Stanford S. Guillory for pointing out the need for this clarification. Sun Jan 10 09:18:41 1999 Martin Krumpolec * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): only re-enable tracing if it had not been explicitly disabled. Sun Jan 10 01:06:18 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Change call from exit() to abort(). * ace/OS.i (abort): Added new function. Sat Jan 9 22:05:07 1999 Nanbor Wang * bin/tao_env.pl: A new perl script that help you translate _env to TAO_IN_ENV. Sat Jan 09 10:53:37 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Name_Proxy.cpp (open): swapped branches of conditional so that options.time_value () is used if USE_TIMEOUT is enabled. Thanks to Mike Goldman for reporting this. Fri Jan 08 19:19:17 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/OS.h: Applied ACE_TEXT to the definition of ACE_DEFAULT_TEMP_FILE on Win32. Thanks to for reporting this. Fri Jan 08 13:24:12 1999 David L. Levine * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Process_Mutex): made data members private instead of public. Thanks to Peter Gross for reporting this. * examples/Threads/reader_writer.cpp: removed volatile qualifier from declaration of "shared_thr_id", so that the file will compile on DU 4.0 with DCE threads. The volatile qualifier caused a type mismatch with ACE_thread_t. And, it's not necessary, because all access of the shared_thr_id is guarded. * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: added gnuch68 to -alttools, and removed bin from AR; use libedgnoe.a instead of libedg.a with GHS 1.8.9.1. * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: don't define ACE_HAS_XPG4_MULTIBYTE_CHAR with ghs, because its version 1.8.9 doesn't seem to support it. Also, with ghs, replaced the __ctype [] declaration with an #include of , because that's cleaner. Finally, added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_ENUMS for ghs (1.8.9). Thu Jan 07 09:05:27 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: added ACE_HAS_SIG_C_FUNC with Sun CC >= 4.2. Sun CC 5.0 needs it; Sun CC 4.2 doesn't object to it on SunOS 5.5.1, 5.6, and 5.7. Thanks to Neil Cohen for figuring out how to compile ACE with Sun CC 5.0. * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: only use -features=castop and -rtti with Sun CC 4.2. CC 5.0 doesn't support them; I assume that it enables RTTI by default. Thanks to Neil Cohen for reporting this. * ACE-INSTALL.html: added ACE_HAS_REGEX #undef suggestion for shared lib link problems with egcs 1.1.x on Solaris 2.5.x. Thanks to Bob McWhirter for reporting this problem. Thu Jan 07 04:45:36 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ACE version 4.6.12 released. Thu Jan 07 04:01:08 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Containers_T.cpp (max_size): No need to reallocate if the new size is the same. Thanks to Mike Goldman for pointing this out. * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (check_hint_i and cleanup_hint_i): purge_i() should be called after the entry is closed. * Select_Reactor_Base.cpp (unbind): The next should be calculated not only based on the but also the . Thanks to Mark L. Boriack for providing a description of this bug. Wed Jan 06 21:42:11 1999 David L. Levine * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): moved #endif /* ACE_LACKS_SETDETACH */ outside of }, to allow compilation on DU 4.0/cxx with DCE threads. * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: with DCE threads only, added ACE_LACKS_THREAD_PROCESS_SCOPING. Wed Jan 06 16:36:21 1999 David L. Levine * ACE version 4.6.11 released. Wed Jan 06 15:15:37 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Config.cpp (process_directive,close): Moved the deletion of into close method. Otherwise, there's no way to reconfigure the service configuration once it get started. Thanks to Mike Goldman for reporting the problem. Wed Jan 6 14:27:24 EST 1999 James CE Johnson tutorial. It could be a lot better than it is but I'm still new to ACE_Malloc... * docs/tutorials/021/online-tutorials.html: Added the link for #21 Tue Jan 05 22:55:07 1999 Irfan Pyarali * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (cleanup_hint_i and check_hint_i): Since we are holding the connection cache lock in these methods, the Svc_Handler should not call purge(). If it does, a deadlock will occur (unless we have recursive locks) since we are already holding the connection cache lock. Therefore, we zero out the recycler before calling svc_handler->close() and purge out the svc_handler entry ourself (through purge_i()). Thanks to Mark L. Boriack for providing a precise example illustrating this bug. Tue Jan 5 18:48:47 James CE Johnson * docs/tutorials/templates.html: Fixed a number of problems here. Thanks to Amos Shapira for pointing them out. * docs/tutorials/colorize: I pulled out the colorization code from combine into this standalone script. One of these days I'll fix combine so that the code isn't duplicated... Tue Jan 5 16:14:00 1999 Carlos O'Ryan * ace/config-irix6.x-common.h: Added ACE_TIMER_SKEW definition. * ace/FILE.cpp: Fixed the seek() prototype, is was declared as taking a "off_t" argument, but is was defined with a "long" argument, unfortunately in most platforms this was not a problem. Tue Jan 05 13:15:35 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Config.i (open): Be sure to pass down the argument down to the real open method. Tue Jan 05 08:08:06 1999 David L. Levine * tests/MM_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp (spawn): fixed syntax error by moving ) to end of ACE_ERROR invocation. * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added 10 ms ACE_TIMER_SKEW, so that MT_Reactor_Timer_Test passes. * ace/config-lynxos.h: added 10 ms ACE_TIMER_SKEW, so that MT_Reactor_Timer_Test comes closer to passing. It now chokes on the wait () near the end. * ace/OS.i (thr_getspecific): moved return 0 statement inside the Draft 7/STD #else block, to avoid warning about unreachable statement with Draft 4/6. * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: with Draft 4 pthreads, added ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R. * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp (main): added printout if wait () fails. Tue Jan 5 00:59:04 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Synch: Changed the remove() method of ACE_Thread_Mutex, ACE_Mutex, ACE_Semaphore, ACE_RW_Mutex, ACE_Event, ACE_Thread_Condition_Mutex, ACE_File_Lock, and ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex so that they check a flag to see if remove() has already been called. If it has, then the remove() call does nothing. This avoids nasty problems on platforms like Win95 that fail mysteriously if locks are destroyed multiple times. Note that our solution isn't perfect since it won't protect against race conditions if multiple threads call remove() simultaneously. However, if this happens it's a sign that the application was designed incorrectly... Thanks to Paul Felix and Irfan for tracking this down.... * ace/FILE: Added new methods, seek() and tell(), that are more intuitively named than the existing position() methods. The position() methods have been retained for backwards compatiblity, but are now marked as deprecated. * ace/OS.h: Added a macro for ACE_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT, which is 80 of course... * ace/INET_Addr.cpp: Make sure that addr_to_string() correctly checks the length of its buffer before doing a sprintf(). In addition, added an option to print the results in either ip-addr format or ip-name format. * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map): where ace/Mem_Map.cpp mmap() will succeed if the length of the file mapping is 0, which will be the case if we've just created the file. This was the wrong place to make this check. * tests/MM_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: Cleaned up a few things in this test so that it'll be easier to maintain. Mon Jan 04 08:45:45 1999 David L. Levine * ace/config-sunos5.7.h: only use the g++ hacks if the g++ version is prior to 2.8. Assume that later versions were built on SunOS 5.7 host, and/or don't have header files that are incompatible with the system headers. * bin/create_ace_build: changed symlink creation failure from error (with termination) to warning create_ace_build. Mon Jan 4 03:15:57 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/Mem_Map: If we're remapping an already-mapped file (i.e., the base_addr_ != 0) && the addr parameter IS 0 (i.e., the user isn't trying to respecify where to map this file), then we'll try to map over top of the existing region, which implies "MAP_FIXED". Sun Jan 03 23:21:46 1999 Nanbor Wang * ace/Service_Config.cpp (initialize): Both initialize methods now remove the service object from the repository if its init() method failed. Sun Jan 3 14:39:49 1999 Douglas C. Schmidt * ace/ACE: Added a simple dirname() wrapper method. * ace/SString: The set(const char *, size_t, int = 1) and set(const c
