Wed Dec 31 23:29:59 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/nvlist.cpp (add_value_consume): Added a space between * and /* to avoid warning messages on NT. Thu Jan 01 14:22:34 1998 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.50, released Thu Jan 01 14:22:34 1998. Thu Jan 1 13:31:55 1998 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: An unwanted reference operator "&" was getting generated for sequences whose element types were not special managed types. This was because the case for handling the managed types somehow got mixed with the normal ccase. Thanks to Nanbor Wang (nw1@cs.wustl.edu) for pointing this out. Wed Dec 31 18:29:57 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the way we use managed types. Instead of allocating an array, we now instantiate the managed type on the fly i.e., when the operator [] is invoked. The reasons for doing this are: (1) no need for dynamic memory allocation for maintaining the array of managers (2) It was causing all kinds of problems while decoding because the sizeof such sequence classes was bigger than those without managed types. However, due to this scheme, we can no longer define the [] operator to return a reference because that would mean that a reference to a local variable/temporary will be returned. Hence changes were necessary in files. TypeCode generation was also erroneous. This is fixed. We were generating wrong encapsulation length. * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: Indentation in typecode generation. * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: nested_type_name - improved to eliminate one more strange error message getting generated by the MSVC++ compiler. Still needs testing. * TAO/tao/{invoke, decode}.cpp: Reversed the changes which were made to account for sequencese with managed types. We no longer need these changes because sequences with managed types no longer keep an extra data member. Thus the size of all sequences (top level) is the same (so is the layout). * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: commneted out unused variables, parameters. * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Included tests for string sequences, variable sized structs as well as nested structs. Tue Dec 30 13:46:44 1997 Nanbor Wang * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h (portnum_): Changed its data type from CORBA::ULong to CORBA::UShort to kill warning messages. * tao/orbobj.cpp (create_list): Changed data type of the loop counter to CORBA::Long. This caused a warning message on VC. * doc/releasenotes/index.html: Added documentation for adding IDL files into Visual C++'s projects. * tests/Param_Test/Param_Test.dsw: * tests/Param_Test/client.dsp: * tests/Param_Test/server.dsp: New workspace and projects were added. Tue Dec 30 10:15:11 1997 Irfan Pyarali * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Fast_Reactor.h (ACE_ES_Fast_Reactor): Added the other version of handle_events to stop the compiler from being cranky. Tue Dec 30 10:06:45 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation, be_state_attribute}.cpp - Unnecessary call on "init_mgr" for sequences that do not have any managed types was getting generated. This is fixed. In addition, MSVC++ compiler was producing an error saying "ambiguous assignment" when an "_out" variable was assigned to a pointer type. Solaris platform (CC and g++) did not give any such errors since they were (most probably) using the operator *() on the _out class, but MSVC++ did not. * TAO/tests/Cubit/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: The same "ambiguous assignment" error described above has been fixed here too. * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added a method called "reset_parameters" so that we do not change the "in" parameter for every iteration. Previuosly we were settingthe in parameter differently for every new iteration. However, for performance comparison purposes, this was not correct (e.g., in the case of string sequences or unbounded strings where everytime we were sending a different lenght string and hence the performance numbers were different for each run and couldn't be compared.) Mon Dec 29 21:51:38 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: get_name was returning a local variable. In addition, added generationof a method called "init_mgr" that must be used to initialize the sequence's underlying mgr_ vector. There was some problem with bounded/unbounded sequence code generation (an error in an if stmt). * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_attribute, be_state_operation}.cpp - added code to generate the call to init_mgr for sequences after the do_call is made. * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h : gen_name returns char* rather than const char* because we now allocate a new string and return it. * TAO/tao/Makefile: applied make depend to incorporate nvlist.i * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Added a "boolean release" field to CORBA_SEQUNECE so that its layout is similar to the generated code for sequences. * TAO/tao/decode.cpp: In sequence decode, we also set the release flag to 1. In addition, for sequences of strings and objrefs, we zero out additional 4 bytes that are used to store a pointer to the manager array. * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: some indentation. Also passed the correct parameter to string/wstring::decode * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: In do_dynamic_call, for sequences of strings (inclusing typedefed sequences of strings that themselves can be typedefed), we must allocate size+4 bytes for demarshaling the sequences. The extra 4 bytes are for the manager array pointer. * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: I the method item, the loop should have run from o to max_ rather than upto len_. * TAO/tao/orbobj.cpp: Used placement new of NamedValue in the create_list method. * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added new tests for Fixed_Struct and string sequence. Added a README file. * TAO/doc/releasenotes/index.html: updated with latest success stories. Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.49, released Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997. Thu Dec 25 18:43:03 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_attribute, be_state_argument}.cpp: Handled teh remaining cases (except Arrays) that use the newly added methiods to class NVList. The Param_Test test suite is being developed to track any memory leaks. * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Used sequence_var in the cube_sequence function to avoid memory leaks. However, there still are leaks. Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.48, released Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997. Wed Dec 24 18:44:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao: Added the nvlist.i file to the tao/ directory. Wed Dec 24 18:11:08 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_state_argument}.cpp: Added "argument_count" method to be_operation which is helpful in creating an NVList of the appropriate size. Previously we were creating an empty list and adding parameters one by one. This was causing a lot of reallocations which were wasteful. At this time, we have code base that can successfully send/receive primitive data types as well as strings. * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_operation.h : Added a new method called "argument_count" to give us the total number of parameters we have. * TAO/tao/{any.cpp, connect.cpp, corbacom.i, decode.cpp, iioporb.cpp, marshal.i, objtable.cpp, optable.cpp, request.cpp}: In all these files, after a call to CORBA::string_free, we made the pointer point to 0. Otherwise, purify was giving us "Free Memory read" errors. Also, this was (by fluke) causing some applications to run successfully. * TAO/tao/{nvlist.h, nvlist.cpp, nvlist.i, corba.h}: Added unimplemented methods to NamedValue and NVList. Created a nvlist.i file and updated corba.h * TAO/tao/corbacom.cpp: In an assignment operator for Sting_out, we were not checking if the assignment was from ourselves. Also a array was incorrectly being deleted as "delete ..." rather than "delete [] ...". * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: Inside do_call, we were not deleting memory for the "in" part of the inout parameters. Right now we have fixed this problem only for strings. Others will be added as new tests are built. Do_dynamic_call also needs such a fix. NOT DONE in this release. * TAO/tao/orb_core.h, orb_core.cpp: ORB_init takes "const char*" orb name as the argument instead of just char*. * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Successful in testing "test_unbounded_string". removed a few memory leaks where we were not deleting the client objects. Tue Dec 23 19:34:40 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.47, released Tue Dec 23 19:34:40 1997. Tue Dec 23 13:36:50 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_sequence.cpp: ACE_NESTED_CLASS must be generated for seq elements that are scoped. We were generating this macor only when seq elements were typedefs. However, seq elements can also be structs or any other types that have an enclosing scope. Thanks to Chris Gill for the bug report. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Similar problem as above for return types of operations. Bug reported by Chris Gill. * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp: Whenever a _narrow fails, we were trying to do a ACE_dynamic_cast to a 0. Instead, we now return a 0. Again thanks to Chris Gill for the bug report. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: We were ot generating a char *& for inout string parameters. Instead only a char * was getting generated. Fixed. Tue Dec 23 11:45:03 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * docs/releasenotes/index.html: There is no need to set config=1 when compiling TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs. Mon Dec 22 22:02:49 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.46, released Mon Dec 22 22:02:49 1997. Mon Dec 22 19:08:55 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/corba.h: * tao/except.cpp: * tao/except.h: The TAO_TRY macros use the _narrow methods for exceptions; making the TAO_CATCH() macro fully functional. * orbsvcs/Dump_Schedule/Dump_Schedule.cpp: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Dispatching_Modules.cpp: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Dispatching_Modules.i: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Event_Channel.cpp: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Event_Channel.i: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Event_Service.cpp: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/RT_Task.cpp: * orbsvcs/Event_Service/ReactorTask.cpp: * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp: * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.h: * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Scheduling_Service.cpp: * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp: * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Runtime_Scheduler.h: * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Scheduler_Factory.cpp: * orbsvcs/tests/Event_Latency/Event_Latency.cpp: Changed the ACE_TRY (and friends) macros to TAO_TRY. * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl: Cleaned up some exceptions definitions. * orbsvcs/tests/Event_Latency/Makefile: Since the schedule is not distributed (yet) by default we compile the config run, hopefully this will cause less confusion. Sun Dec 21 23:41:05 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.45, released Sun Dec 21 23:41:05 1997. Sun Dec 21 20:29:33 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/server.dsp: Corrected erroneous library pathes in Release version of project files. Sun Dec 21 18:30:41 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: The macro used in the #if !defined (..) clause in the header files was incorrectly generated when IDL file names had characters other than letters in it. Fixed. * TAO/tests/Param_Test: A new test suite to test all the parameter passing modes - return, in, inout, and out for a large number of IDL data types. The purpose of this test suite is to verify the correctness of the stubs/skeletons generated by TAO IDL compiler, eliminate any existing errors in the marshaling engine, track down any memory leaks, and finally to measure the performance and fine tune the code if required. In the first version of the test, we only test "shorts". We will be adding other tests as soon as we can. Sat Dec 20 00:34:45 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/client/client.cpp (main): * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/client/Makefile: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.h: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/client/client.cpp: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/client/cubit.idl: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/server/Makefile: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/server/cubit.idl: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/server/cubit_i.cpp: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/server/cubit_i.h: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp: Ported the MT_Cubit example to CORBAplus.

Try running the "run_tests" script for the client side. * tests/Thruput/Orbix/Client.cpp: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/Makefile: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/README: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/Srv_Main.cpp: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/extract: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/loop64: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/orbixsol2s4.mk: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/run: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/run_client: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/run_server: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/run_test: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/run_tests: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/ttcp.idl: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/ttcp_decl.h: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/ttcp_i.cpp: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/ttcp_i.h: * tests/Thruput/Orbix/utils.cpp: Included the Thruput example for IONAs Orbix ORB in the tests directory. * tests/Thruput/TAO/Makefile: * tests/Thruput/TAO/README: * tests/Thruput/TAO/client.cpp: * tests/Thruput/TAO/run: * tests/Thruput/TAO/run_client: * tests/Thruput/TAO/run_server: * tests/Thruput/TAO/run_test: * tests/Thruput/TAO/server.cpp: * tests/Thruput/TAO/svc.conf: * tests/Thruput/TAO/ttcp.idl: * tests/Thruput/TAO/ttcp_decl.h: * tests/Thruput/TAO/ttcp_i.cpp: * tests/Thruput/TAO/ttcp_i.h: * tests/Thruput/TAO/utils.cpp: Moved the TAO version of the Thruput example to a "TAO" directory in the Thruput directory. * tests/Thruput_test: Renamed this directory to Thruput. Fri Dec 19 00:28:24 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main): Removed some random codes. * tao/tao_internals.cpp (close_services): Disabled closing down the ACE_Service_Config when reference count drops to 0. Thu Dec 18 20:36:28 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.44, released Thu Dec 18 20:36:28 1997. Thu Dec 18 19:35:28 1997 Sergio Flores * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (init): * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (bind_new_context): Fixed a bug in the Naming Service and the Logger test program implementation. Thanks to Marina Spivak for debugging this. Thu Dec 18 16:18:01 1997 * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp (gen_name): Removed a local variable . It is no longer used. * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp (gen_client_stubs): Removed local variables and . They are not longer used. Thu Dec 18 15:50:01 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Makefile: realclean was not removing all the IDL compiler generated files. Thu Dec 18 15:06:23 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale Thanks to Keith Nicewarner , Tom Richards , and Carlos O'Ryan for reporting bugs which led to some of the changes below. * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp: Preliminary support for arrays. Not complete. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_attribute}.cpp: The ParamData structure *must* hold the "size" of the outermost level of the return values and out parameters because the ORB has to allocate memory for it and hence needs to know the size. We had a 0 in it which crashed any return types that were variable in size. * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a new state for unions. Corresponding change to the *.h file. * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Added a method called "scope" that returns the corresponding scope defined by this node (if one exists). Added method to the *.h file also. * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Added a method called "decl" that returns the be_decl method corresponding to this scope. The header file was also updated. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception, be_state_exception}.cpp: I was making the most stupid mistake of generating constructors per member rather than one constructor that takes all the members as a parameter. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the naming scheme for anonymous sequences to avoid code bloat. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added template instantiation for additional state to deal with code generation of members of unions. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp: Made some changes so that spurious code for array members doesn't get generated. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union, be_state_union}.cpp: Added a new state because we were not generating code for union members that were sequences or structs. * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Modified netsed_type_name to use the new methods on class be_decl/be_scope. * TAO_IDL/be/be_union_branch.cpp: gen_client_stubs uses the same strategy as the other gen_client methods. * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: In deep_free of structures, instead of passing the address of a string member to be freed, we were simply passing the string that led to a segmentation fault. A careful code review is necessary. * TAO/tao/orb_core.cpp: Made "use_ior" as default as ooposed to using the URL based scheme for IORs. This was necessary to have interoperability with other ORBs. * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: The server request was being released immediately after returning from the dispatch method. This should be done after all return/inout/out parameters are marshaled. Tue Dec 17 12:53:01 1997 Brian Mendel * tao/encode.cpp: Additional changes for wchar's Tue Dec 17 10:37:45 1997 Brian Mendel * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed obsolete files from the VC++ project. Changed name of folder from Include Files to Inline Files. Inserted new header files for classview. * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added missing be_state_exception.cpp to the the project to eliminate link error. * tao/corbacom.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar problems with VxWOrks and GHS. * tao/encode.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar problems with VxWOrks and GHS. Tue Dec 16 18:29:42 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/README: * docs/orbsvcs.html: Started up the documentation for TAO services, at this point only the directory hierarchy is explained. Tue Dec 16 08:49:11 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h: Added three more states for return types to be generated for operator [] of sequences of strings and object references. * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h: Added enum constants to indicate what kind of managed type is handled by the sequence. For sequences other than that of strings and objrefs, this enum const is MNG_NONE. Added a new method that returns the managed type. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence.cpp}: Added code to generate sequences of strings and objrefs. This requires generating special "managed" objects. In addition, for be_state_sequence.cpp, we were not handling the case where base types of sequences were not having any scope which resulted in segmentation faults. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation}.cpp: Some small bugs fixed. These included lack of a whitespace in the generated code as well as spurious extra level of indirection getting generated. * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: "nested_type_name" now checks if the scope with which are comparing is NUL or not before proceeding further. Such a situation may arise for sequences whose base types are anonymous (e.g., strings) and have no enclosing scope. * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,cpp,i}: Removed. No more needed as teh code is generated by the IDL compiler. Accordingly modified corb.h and did a "make depend" on the Makefile. * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to reflect new changes as well as TO-DO stuff such as adding support for TIEs. Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.43, released Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997. Mon Dec 15 19:13:51 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/Timeprobe.cpp: Removed Solaris specific code, somehow it survived from some debugging session. Thanks to Arturo Montes for pointing out this bug. Mon Dec 15 16:52:58 1997 Nanbor Wang * TAO-INSTALL.html: Added some explanations for setting CPP_PATH on NT. Mon Dec 15 16:49:58 1997 David L. Levine * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (cube_sequence): declare local variables "l" and "j" as u_int instead of int, to avoid signed/unsigned comparison. Thu Dec 11 16:44:26 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp: Fixed typo missed on the previous release. Thu Dec 11 22:18:52 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Moved the code generation for the _var and _out classes before the actual class declaration, but after the forward declaration. This was necessary if any elements in the scope of the interface are defined to be of the same type as that interface. In such a situation those elements are defined to be of the _var type. Hence the declaration for _var and _out must precede the class declaration. Thu Dec 11 22:00:52 1997 Sergio Flores * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/Naming_Service.cpp (main): Fixed a bug related to returning an empty string as the ior in the reply from the multicast request. Thu Dec 11 14:06:50 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception,be_state_exception}.cpp: Support for exceptions added. Added a new file called "be_state_exception.cpp". * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_state.h: Added a new singleton for be_state_exception. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Template instantiations for be_state_exception. * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to include exception support. * TAO/tao/except.{h,cpp}: Moved the TypeCode member from the private section to the protected section so that derived classes can set it. Also, changed the variable from _type to type_ to stick to the ACE design standards. Thu Dec 11 00:01:41 1997 Chris Cleeland * TAO version 0.0.42, released Thu Dec 11 00:01:41 1997. Wed Dec 10 23:04:04 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp: Still struggling with g++, it seems to use the wrong cast for IDL generated T_out classes. * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile: * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp: * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.h: * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp: These files were missed in the orbsvcs hierarchy reorganization. Wed Dec 10 22:38:08 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit: Fixed the hand-crafted code to make use of the many changes that were made to the dispatching scheme as well as changes made to the signature of the skeletons for operations of interfaces. Wed Dec 10 21:41:48 1997 Sergio Flores * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated the release notes on the Naming Service. Wed Dec 10 20:13:57 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * Makefile: Added orbsvcs to the hierarchy. * The orbsvcs directory was completely reorganized, in preparation for its official release. The new hierarchy is: - orbsvcs/orbsvcs: Contains a library with: + The client stubs for the services. + Common utility classes to access the services. + The server skeletons, but not their implementation. - orbsvcs/Naming_Service: the COSS Naming Service. - orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service: TAO Real-Time Scheduling Service. - orbsvcs/Event_Service: TAO Real-Time Event Service. - orbsvcs/tests: test programs and examples. * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated documentation on the Event Service and its friends. Wed Dec 10 19:57:07 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_i::cube_sequence): Changed to explicitly use the vector_out::ptr() method to get a ptr. It seems that g++ wanted to interpret this expression (output == 0) differently from Sun's C++, and this made both interpret it in the desired way. Wed Dec 10 14:23:24 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp: Fixed a bug when handling typedefs. It was generating code for imported types, we protected the generation with a !imported(), thank to Andy Gokhale for helping me on this. * tao/connect.cpp: Set the TCP_NODELAY option by default, otherwise oneway calls are considerably slower. It should have no effect for twoway calls. Anyway an option should be added to control this behavior. Wed Dec 10 13:15:11 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be_include/{be_array, be_decl, be_field, be_module, be_operation, be_predefined_type, be_structure, be_typedef}.h: Added a protected function called "compute_size_type" which is invoked if the size type of a data structure is not known in advance. This happens for structs, unions, arrays, and typedefs whose size type depends on their base types. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_array, be_decl, be_field, be_module, be_operation, be_predefined_type, be_structure, be_typedef}.cpp: Implementation of the "compute_size_type". * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Changed code that sets "size_type" so that we first see if we are unknown in which case we set our size type. However, once we are VARIABLE, no body can reset us to fixed. Similarly, the overloaded size_type method that return the size type first checks if our size is still unknown in which case it calls for "compute_size_type". This is very essential for data types defined in an imported (included) *.idl file. Thanks to Tom Richards (tomr@mcmenterprise.com) for reporting the bug with included file which resulted in this change. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_attribute.cpp: Included a case for IN_PARAM_TYPE_CH for strings (had previously forgotten to do so). * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_structure, be_structure, be_field}.cpp: Revamped so that we use the same switch based technique in be_state_structure.cpp to generate code. For fields that are sequences or structures or unions, we also generate their code. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Thanks to Tom Richards and Carlos O'Ryan for noticing a bug when we use out sequences. There used to be a seg fault in deep_free.cpp because a NUL pointer was being owned by an Any and getting freed. In the server skeleton, for out params we now generate code after the upcall is made so that for out parameter value is inserted in the NVList that is marshaled by the server. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: In the generated call to _is_a, we were calling CORBA::Object::_is_a if a remote call is necessary. However, MSVC++ cannot handle a call of the form CORBA::Object::_is_a. So we have to generate code that uses ACE_CORBA_3 so as to be portable. Thanks to Nanbor Wang (nw1@cs.wustl.edu). * TAO/test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed the type of the variable that was passed as the out parameter to cube_sequence. Wed Dec 10 01:02:36 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/iiopobj.cpp (set): Added a special case to IIOP Profile::set so that if the address is INADDR_ANY, it uses the host name, but otherwise uses the IP address. This eliminates the cryptic appearance of the address "0.0.0.0" in a server's IOR. Tue Dec 9 21:48:52 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: The sequence test is not running right now, I'm commenting it out until we can make it work properly. Tue Dec 9 18:02:43 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orb_core.cpp: The moral of this changelog entry is to be VERY careful when cutting and pasting code...the resource_factory() accessor should not be setting the client_factory_ member at all! Tue Dec 9 11:55:50 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added NOERROR as #define if we're not on WIN32 so that IDL-generated code would continue to work. * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Changed faked Resource Factory resource source specifier to "tss" rather than "global". * tao/orb_core.*: Added resource_factory() accessor to TAO_ORB_Core. This will create a default instance if it can't locate one in the Service Repository, which will allow applications to not encounter a hard failure when a svc.conf file is missing. A warning message is emitted stating that a default is being used. Applications should not rely on the default settings, as it is very likely that the applicat might require alternate settings for proper desired operation. * tao/default_server.*: Added TAO_Reactive_Strategy template class to use in place of the ACE_Reactive_Strategy. It's only difference from ACE_Reactive_Strategy is that instead of using the reactor provided in the open method, it always uses that found through the TAO_ORB_Core_instance(). This fix was motivated by a general problem which was only observable on VxWorks with a special pseudo-network transport. * tao/connect.cpp: Added code to fail gracefully if socket buffer size changes are not supported. Mon Dec 8 13:11:46 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Added more information on how the Event Channel and friends are going. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svc.conf: Removed some foreign ^M from the file. * tao/Makefile: * tao/connect.cpp: * tao/giop.cpp: * tao/orbobj.cpp: * tao/Timeprobe.i: * tao/Timeprobe.h: * tao/Timeprobe.cpp: Added a instrumentation class to measure time interval, also instrumented some code, as part of the ongoing effort to optimize the EC, unfortunately the problems are not in TAO ;-) The code is only instrumented if compiled using probe=1, no overhead is introduced in normal compiles. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h: Addded code to test sequences (as input and output parameters) they don't work (yet). * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile: * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i: * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp: The file was moved toTAO_ROOT/tao. * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp: Fixed default dump file, it was using stdout! Sat Dec 06 15:42:25 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{server,client}.dsp: Updated link time library names. * tao/any.cpp: * tao/any.h: * tao/corba.h: * tao/corbacom.h: * tao/decode.cpp: * tao/encode.cpp: * tao/except.cpp: * tao/except.h: * tao/giop.cpp: * tao/iiopobj.cpp: * tao/iiopobj.h: * tao/iioporb.cpp: * tao/iioporb.h: * tao/nvlist.cpp: * tao/nvlist.h: * tao/object.cpp: * tao/object.h: * tao/object.i: * tao/orbobj.cpp: * tao/orbobj.h: * tao/orbobj.i: * tao/poa.cpp: * tao/poa.h: * tao/principa.cpp: * tao/principa.h: * tao/request.cpp: * tao/request.h: * tao/stub.h: * tao/svrrqst.cpp: * tao/svrrqst.h: * tao/typecode.cpp: * tao/typecode.h: * tao/compat/initguid.h: * tao/compat/objbase.h: Removed dependencies on Microsoft's DCOM files. Below is a list of names that got changed. HRESULT -> TAO_HRESULT IID -> TAO_IID IUnknown -> TAO_IUnknown IID_IUnknown -> IID_TAO_IUnknown SCODE -> TAO_SCODE NOERROR -> TAO_NOERROR E_NOINTERFACE -> TAO_E_NOINTERFACE VARTYPE -> TAO_VARTYPE VARENUM -> TAO_VARENUM CY -> TAO_CY VARIANT -> TAO_VARIANT DATE -> TAO_DATE Fri Dec 5 11:42:25 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/iiopobj.cpp (set): Changed the IIOP::Profile::set() methods which take an ACE_INET_Addr to retrieve the host IP address rather than host name for storage in the profile. This is motivated by the following situation: machine has 3 interfaces (not including loopback), and it is desired that clients and servers communicate across only one interface. When our IDL_Cubit example's factory created new Cubit instances, the set() method would set the host name for that IIOP::Profile to whatever ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name() returned. In this case, the IP addr for interface 3 (which is not the primary interface) would return a *LIST* of names in which the first name was that of the primary interface. Thus, the IP address used by the client would be wrong. * tao/object.h: Minor corrections to header comments. * tao/{orb_core,orbobj}.{h,cpp}: Moved server_factory and client_factory ptr storage from CORBA_ORB to TAO_ORB_Core. It really didn't belong there in the first place. * tao/poa.cpp: CTOR now fetches server factory ptr from the TAO_ORB_Core rather than from the ORB. Thu Dec 4 18:20:55 1997 Chris Gill * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Changed hard coded path for cl.exe to CPP_PATH environment variable Thu Dec 4 11:23:55 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/include/{idl,ast,utl_idlist, utl_identifier}.h: removed #include "ace/stdcpp.h" since this file was removed from ACE. Instead we now include "ace/streams.h" in idl.h Also made make depend on all the Makefiles. Wed Dec 3 16:08:34 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: Added some more time-stamps to the events to track and measure the delays as they move on the EC. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.i: Thanks to Andy Gokhale efforst the IDL compiler is able to emit proper code for the EC&friends, hence I'm removing the hand-crafted files. Wed Dec 3 11:12:48 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Had forgotten to emit code that adds one more cast to the base POA_* class in the generated *S.i file. Wed Dec 03 09:40:36 1997 David L. Levine * tao/Makefile: added TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP to CPPFLAGS on CHORUS. Thanks to Wei Chiang for this change. Tue Dec 2 15:47:09 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.h: Added some helper methods to generate additional code in the form of larger operation tables, and skeletons. This situation arises when we have single/multiple inheritance of interfaces. * TAO_IDL/be_include/be.h: Included ace/Containers.h for the ACE_Unbounded_Queue that uses the breadth-first strategy used in be_interface.cpp * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface,be_operation,be_attribute}.cpp: Added code to generate a new "virtual void dispatch" method on the skeleton classes. The dispatch method enables us to access the most derived type when invoking the skeleton for a method. The skeletons instead of taking a CORBA::Object_ptr, now take void*. The skeletons themselves cast this void* to the appropriate POA_* type. In addition to the above, for the case of inheritance of interfaces, it is not appropriate to pass a pointer to the most derived class as a void* to the skeleton of a base class and cast that to the POA_* of the base class. So we generate inlined code for skeletons of methods in the most derived class even if those methods were defined in the base classes. These inlined skeletons simply cast the object pointer to the right type and invoke the corresponding skeleton of the base class method. be_interface.cpp defines a template method to traverse the entire inheritance graph. This traversal is done using a breadth-first traversal. This traverse method takes a pointer to one of the static helper methods defined on class be_interface. Each helper achieves a different purpose such as generation of extended operation tables, providing comparisons of repositoryIDs of base classes in the _is_a methods of derived classes. The client-side class now defines a virtual CORBA::Boolean _is_a method. This uses local knowledge of repository ids thereby preventing the expensive remote call in most cases. All changes made in be_interface.cpp * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Changed the signature of TAO_Skeleton so that it uses void*obj and a void *context. * TAO/tao/object.h: Added a virtual dispatch method as explained above. * TAO/tao/orb.h: Redefinition of TAO_Skeleton removed. * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: Changed the demultiplexing code to reflect the change made with the dispatch method. The poa on finding the right object corresponding to the key, now invokes the dispatch method on that object which by dynamic binding invokes the dispatch method of the POA_* class. Tue Dec 02 15:29:41 1997 * tao/{connect,orb_core}.h: Moved Win32 specific template specialization declaration from connect.h to orb_core.h because the definition had moved to orb_core.i. * tao/object.cpp: Removed conditional directives around DEFINE_GUID for IID_IUnknown. This is now defined for Win32 also. * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed macro definition __IIOP_BUILD. It was not used anywhere. Tue Dec 2 10:25:47 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/corba.h: Fixed some problems with the ACE_RETHROW macros. * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile: * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i: * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp: Added a high resolution timer facility, to measure the delays in the Event Channel and in its client. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: Changed the time_ field of Event to a double. It should be an structure or a long long, but double is big enough to store * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h: Regenerated the files using the newest IDL compiler; still some hand crafting due to inherited classes. Tue Dec 2 03:12:50 1997 Sergio Flores * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Check for errors when resolving using the "NameService" environment variable. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (NS_NamingContext): * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.h (NS_NamingContext): - Added constructor that takes a key to initialize the object, instead of using the default name generation. - Enabled some exceptions that are already supported. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (main): Create first naming context with key "NamingContext". And minor changes. * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/Makefile: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/README: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h: * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp: Ported the IDL cubit example to CORBAplus. Currently, the calls using DII are not ported, so only the "cube average" and the "cube_union_stub" stats are printed. Mon Dec 1 16:51:08 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/except.{h,cpp}: Changed semantics of CORBA::Exception so that the mere creation of them does not take a reference. Instead, the user of the exception is expected to call AddRef(). CORBA::Environment has been modified (and even documented!) to reflect that as well. Sun Nov 30 17:08:56 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: Added missed parameter in do_call() for RtecScheduler::Scheduler::set(). Sat Nov 29 13:34:58 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/stub.i (STUB_Object): No need to release type_id, since it is a String_var now. Thanks to Wei Chiang for pointing this out. * giop.cpp: If things go wrong TAO_GIOP::send_request will close the handler and set it to zero, but only a temporary was affected, I decided to set the original value to zero also; based on the return value. Wed Nov 26 23:24:57 1997 * TAO version 0.0.41, released Wed Nov 26 23:24:57 1997. Wed Nov 26 16:40:29 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed release calls to use the CORBA standard version rather than the non-standard TAO Release() method. Also moved the client's parse_args() AFTER the ORB_init() so that -ORB parameters were parsed correctly. * tao/params.*: Added storage for send and receive socket buffer size to be used for all newly created sockets. These sizes are initialized to ACE_DEFAULT_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZ, and can be changed by the user by using -ORBsndsock and -ORBrcvsock. * tao/orbobj.h: Added documentation. * tao/orb_core.i: Changed system-specific conditional compilation to use the more general ACE_LACKS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION. * tao/orb_core.cpp: Added code to make -ORBsndsock and -ORBrcvsock options actually work. Added -ORBpreconnect option to implement pre-cached connections. * tao/giop.cpp: Removed the old static inline version of start_message(). Also changed to use send_n() to guarantee correct blocking nature on Win32 with the WFMO Reactor. * tao/connect.cpp: Changed set_option() calls to use the socket buffer sizes stored in the TAO_ORB_Parameters instance. Also added a correct environment-clearing call before initializing a request. * tao/client_factory.h: Removed extraneous code. * tao/{connect,any,giop,iiopobj,marshal,nvlist,objtable,optable, orb_core,poa,principa,stub,svrrqst,typecode}.h: Addressed or assigned some '@@' comments. * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Added information regarding new options, known bugs, etc. * docs/Options.html: Added documentation for new -ORBpreconnect option. * TAO_IDL/be/Makefile: Added an explicit PIC=-fPIC for when g++ is being used as the compiler. This fixes the linker complaints. Sat Dec 20 14:57:30 1997 * All MSVC 5.0 project files: Removed unnecessary library inclusions. Most of them are not necessary. Tue Nov 25 20:49:24 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/orbobj.h: * tao/orbobj.cpp: * tao/orb_core.cpp: * tao/params.h: * tao/params.cpp: Removed the parameters to specify the event service and schedule service IOR, the naming service is working now so it can be used. And the support in "resolve_initial_references". * tao/corbacom.i: * tao/decode.cpp: Reverted the previous change, but this time added proper comments: the spec says that a Naming_var taking a is *not* supposed to copy it. Hence the ObjRef decoder cannot release the string it just read. Mon Nov 24 20:40:47 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/corbacom.i: Fixed string allocation problem for String_var(char*): if it does not copy the string we run into problems with the demarshalling code. * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h: Removed the unused forward_event parameter in the ConsumerQoS. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i: Hand crafted the T_out constructors to take a "const T_out&" instead of just "T_out&". Sat Nov 22 18:21:10 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h, be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a number of states to handle attributes * TAO_IDL/be/{be_attribute,be_state_attribute}.cpp: Code added to handle attributes. This code is a mix of code that is used to handle operations as well as arguments because for attributes we have 2 methods, one to set the value and one which returns the value. For a readonly attribute, there is only the get method. A special note: Due to the large switch statement, I had to use -fPIC for g++. We are working on abstracting all the commin functionality once we have the basic IDL compiler working. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Operation table now also includes methods to set and get the attributes if they are present. In addition, the variable name for the operation tables is now the full flattened name to avoid conflicts. * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: In the length method, the index of lookp variable "i" is changed from "int" to CORBA::ULong as g++ was issuing a warning. * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp, be_state_argument,cpp: Proper handling of in, inout, and out strings that are either anonymous or are typedefed. Fri Nov 21 13:22:39 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.40, released Fri Nov 21 13:22:39 1997. Thu Nov 20 10:31:24 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Made sure this is defined properly for Chorus. Thanks to Wei Chiang for submitting these! * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Added some changes for Chorus. Thanks to Wei Chiang for submitting these! * tao/object.cpp (_is_a): Explicitly specify which conversion operator to use when comparing type_id to 0. Thu Nov 20 00:10:52 1997 Sergio Flores * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.h : * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (Logger_Client): Fixed a bug dealing with using "_bind" when the naming service is not available. Thu Nov 20 00:06:03 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.39, released Thu Nov 20 00:06:03 1997. Thu Nov 20 00:01:06 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/Makefile: Reordered the files so they are built in alphabetic order (within each grouping of targets). This makes it easier to see how the compilation process is doing ;-). Wed Nov 19 22:59:18 1997 Sergio Flores * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Minor change to output debug statement. Wed Nov 19 23:01:46 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Fixed the problem with strings as return values. Thanks to Mark L Boriack for reporting this. Wed Nov 19 20:48:01 1997 James C Hu * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: Commented out some unreachable code at the bottom of main. Wed Nov 19 19:04:53 1997 Sergio Flores * tao/decode.cpp (decode): Added a cast so that compiler would know which operator to call. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (handle_input): Change port number received to host byte order. Minor changes. * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Send port number in network byte order. Wed Nov 19 17:45:52 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Put in proper release of resources after _narrow operation. * tao/stub.h: Used CORBA::String_var as the underlying type for 'type_id' in STUB_Object. In the long run this may be a bad idea for performance considerations, but we may be able to improve that by improving the implementation of String_var. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Removed unreachable ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN. * tao/decode.cpp: Made allocation and free semantics of 'type_hint' consistent with its type of CORBA::String. Wed Nov 19 17:33:42 1997 Sumedh Mungee * Task_Client.cpp: Fixed error_count.. Thanks to James Hu. Wed Nov 19 17:20:45 1997 James C Hu * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Removed an unreachable return statement. There was already a return above it. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp: Added casts to comparisons of char variables to 0, since chars are unsigned by default in SGI. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: Removed a couple of unreachable return statements. There are still unreachable statements remaining. Need help with them. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Meaningless type qualifier (const ...) removed. Some functions were returning `retval' before it was set. I had these functions return a passed in paramenter instead. Wed Nov 19 13:50:36 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.38, released Wed Nov 19 13:50:36 1997. Wed Nov 19 13:11:53 1997 David L. Levine * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp (dump_schedule): changed loop index from int to u_int to avoid signed/unsigned comparison. (use_runtime): return 0. * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp (debug): changed loop index from int to u_int to avoid signed/unsigned comparison. Wed Nov 19 12:22:50 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Reverted some of the minor changes below, specifically the use of ACE_ERROR_RETURN rather than ACE_ERROR/return. ACE_ERROR_RETURN cannot be used as-is because the 2nd parameter is used as an 'int' to specify the operational status, and the return value of this function is NOT an int. Also had to add a missing semi-colon which caused none of the code to compile. Wed Nov 19 12:07:42 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.37, released Wed Nov 19 12:07:42 1997. Wed Nov 19 10:37:19 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp: The type declared for the rt_info array was wrong. Wed Nov 19 09:18:30 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.36, released Wed Nov 19 09:18:30 1997. Wed Nov 19 09:15:15 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Made a bunch of minor Changes for resolving the Naming service. Wed Nov 19 08:44:12 1997 Brian Mendel * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/default.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/default.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/default.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/clnt.bld: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/svr.bld: Added build files in the new test structure for VxWorks using the GHS compiler. * tests/Cubit/Build: Removed the obsolete build directory for vxWorks. Wed Nov 19 07:47:13 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.35, released Wed Nov 19 07:47:13 1997. Wed Nov 19 05:53:42 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: Changed code to add loop around all cube calls, and make output more consistent. * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile: * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/ior_multicast.cpp: * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/ior_multicast.h: Removed unneeded ior_multicast.* source files from the logger example. It now uses the resolve_initial_references() to use the naming service for its advertisement. * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile (realclean): Updated with realclean & clean rules to delete CosNamingS.* and CosNamingC.* * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated status of the naming service to working implementation. * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h: Removed these files from the repository, since the IDL compiler generates these correctly. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (list): Remove warning for unused variable. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.h: Constructor of event handler for multicast doesn't need reply port anymore. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (handle_input): Now receives the port number in the multicast request. Suggested by Doug Schmidt. * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): changed return value variable to be signed. Added code to send the port number in the multicast resolution mechanism as a CORBA::Short. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/NS_CosNaming.cpp (NS_ExtId): Reordered initializers in the constructor. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (run): Added a loop around all cube calls and added calls/sec stats for them. * tao/corba.h: Changed order of inclusion of marshal.i, due to warnings of the declaration of the inline function make_marshal_object(). * tao/orbobj.i: reorder the declaration of inline CORBA_OBJ::Add_Ref(), to remove a warning. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main): removed return statement that was causing a warning. Wed Nov 19 04:22:48 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.34, released Wed Nov 19 04:22:48 1997. Tue Nov 18 01:29:00 1997 * tao/TAO.dsp: Added Arg_Shifter.cpp into project file. Tue Nov 18 18:53:57 1997 Sergio Flores * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_typedef.cpp (gen_code): * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp (gen_code): * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_sequence.cpp (gen_code): * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp (gen_code): * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_array.cpp (gen_code): Comment out unreachable break statements. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (n_dims): * TAO_IDL/include/ast_array.h (AST_Array::n_dims): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_attribute.cpp (readonly): * TAO_IDL/include/ast_attribute.h (AST_Attribute::readonly): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_argument.cpp (direction): * TAO_IDL/include/ast_argument.h (AST_Argument::direction): * tao/nvlist.h (CORBA_NamedValue::name): * TAO_IDL/include/utl_scope.h (UTL_Scope::scope_node_type): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_predefined_type.cpp (pt): * TAO_IDL/include/ast_predefined_type.h (AST_PredefinedType::pt): removed const from declarations that it didn't have a meaning for. Also from return statements. These changes were suggested by James Hu and the SGI compiler. Tue Nov 18 18:34:16 1997 Sumedh Mungee * tests/Cubit/COOL/client.cpp: ORB_init is now called in Task_Client.cpp instead of the main program, to insure that its called in the right thread. * tests/Cubit/COOL/Task_Client.{h,cpp}: Used the COOL_Activity to create threads instead of ACE_Task. * tests/Cubit/COOL/server.cpp: Used the createActivity stuff to create threads. The server now creates two servants, one for high and the other for low priority clients. Tue Nov 18 17:44:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/corbacom.h: Added special case for CORBA::WChar to be a short on VxWorks/GreenHills. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added template instantiations for SGI. * tao/deep_free.cpp (deep_free): Removed unused 'alignment' variable. * tao/deep_copy.cpp (deep_copy): Removed unused 'alignment' variable. * tao/encode.cpp (encode): Removed unused 'continue_encoding' variable. * tao/orbobj.cpp (POA_init): Removed options which were no longer supported/necessary, as well as their corresponding variables. Tue Nov 18 17:33:20 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: Changed several operations to "oneway" to avoid dead-locks in the Event Channel tests. * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp: This class is a servant, event though it is only used collocated, so it must inherit from the POA class. * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp: Care must be exercised to create the Runtime_Scheduler instance only once the ORB is up and running. * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h: Regenerated all the stubs and skeletons using the latest IDL compiler, but still some hand crafting is required, namely for operations in base classes. Tue Nov 18 14:27:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/cdr.cpp (CDR): Changed TAO_PURIFY to ACE_PURIFY. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/serdatever/svr.cpp: Added code to put use a kinder, gentler high priority value on VxWorks. This makes it easier for the machine to remain running. :-\ * tao/corbacom.h: Added CVS id keyword. * tao/{corba.h,tao_internals.h,tao_internals.cpp}: Backed out tao_internals.h, which is not intended to be publicly visible. corba.h should contain only headers/inlines for things which should be externally visible. Tue Nov 18 04:00:46 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/poa.cpp: An operation lookup on the dispatching code will cause an error message and the CORBA::BAD_OPERATION exception to be raised. * tao/orb_core.cpp: Somehow the options for setting the Event Service and the Scheduling Service IOR were lost. Eventually they must be removed, but we are still testing the Naming Service. Tue Nov 18 02:17:24 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.33, released Tue Nov 18 02:17:24 1997. Tue Nov 18 02:03:22 1997 Sergio Flores * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp: * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp: This test example now uses the naming service in the server and client. Also changed the code to have a default use in case the naming service is not available. * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Fixed a bug, dealing with closing the endpoint of communication for the response of the multicast mechanism. Tue Nov 18 01:37:42 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation.cpp,be_state_operation}.cpp: We now properly handle the declaration and assigning to the return value. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Removed a spurious () appearing after a function call. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_structure,be_union}.cpp: Carlos had removed the if !imported check in the member counting function, but it had crept in again, maybe due to me. So this is fixed again. * test/Cubit/TAO/IDL/svr.cpp: Removed the hack which was separating command line arguments starting with O. We leave this task to the newly added Arg_Shifter. * tao.orbobj.cpp: In ORB_init, the call to TAO_ORb_Core_instance->init needed a char ** argv and we were passing a char * const* argv. So we cast this. g++ was giving this error. * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h, TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Added 5 new states for code generation. All of these for operations and arguments. * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp: Made all methods uniform so that the state will be set by the corresponding be_operation method. Thus the be_operation method will vary the state but still invoke the same be_argument method. * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp, be_structure.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_field.cpp, be_sequence.cpp: Some reformatting, removed unused variables. * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Changes include adding ACE_ERROR_RETURN with file name, line number capability. In addition, we were not testing for return status of the various gen methods called. * Most important changes in these files: TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation,be_state_argument,be_state_operation}.cpp: Large scale changes that include a uniform way to invoke methods of the be_argument class from the be_operation methods. Added the 5 new states. Added proper handling of _out parameters in stubs and skeletons. Mon Nov 17 20:05:40 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Cleaned up lots of places where the allocated stuff wasn't being deallocated. * tao/request.cpp: Insured that the CTOR adds a reference for the dynamically-allocated NamedValue. * tao/orb_core.cpp: Freed the faked service configurator argv. * tao/iiopobj.h: Removed anachronistic comments. * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: Changed allocation of IIOP::Profile.host to use new/delete rather than strdup/free b/c the decoder, which is generic, must use new to allocate the space. Thus, the strdup had to go. Purify now happier. * tao/cdr.cpp: Added call to memset bracketed by #if defined(TAO_PURIFY) in order to appease the purify gods. Mon Nov 17 20:05:16 1997 Seth Benjamin Widoff * arg_shifter.cpp: fixed a bug where in new, gcc used the address of an integer reference rather than its value. weird. * tao/orb_core.cpp: Modified the init routine to "consume" command line arguments it recognizes by placing them in the rear of argv, and adjusting argc. It uses the Arg_Shifter class to accomplish this. * tao/arg_shifter.h: * tao/arg_shifter.cpp: The Arg_Shifter class is an iterator that, as it iterates over argv, places consumed arguments at the end of the vector, ignored ones in their original order at the beginning of the vector, and adjusts argc to hide the consumed arguments. Mon Nov 17 18:40:49 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/orb_core.i: Some data was not initialized when used from a thread different than the one doing ORB_init (even though we choose a global ORB in the svc.conf file). Chris found a fix for this. The affected methods are reactor(), thr_mgr(), connector() and acceptor(). * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: length was not working if the value was <= than the maximum. * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp: Fixed the length() problem by hand, even though the new IDL compiler should do it right. Mon Nov 17 11:52:54 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (server_header), TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp (be_change_idl_file_extension): Updated several methods to ensure const correctness for the updated ACE_OS::str*() methods. Thanks to David Levine for reporting this. Mon Nov 17 02:40:14 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.32, released Mon Nov 17 02:40:14 1997. Mon Nov 17 01:48:17 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: TypeCode generation was failing for imported members. * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp: Member count must include all members, imported or not. * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Added missing decr_indent() in the typecode generation which was making the generated code completely unreadable. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: Removed the PullConsumer and PullSupplier classes, they are not supported. * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp: New version of the generated files, this last version is almost making in it, but still needs hand crafting. * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Fixed buggy TypeCode lenght computation, it was only taking into account the tc_encap_len() for the base type but it should use the full tc_size(). * tao/encode.cpp: Object references *must* be passed a pointer to Object_ptr in the marshalling code. * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Fixed generated code for Object references as return values. It allocates the Object_ptr in the heap, stores the result there and creates an Any for it. Sun Nov 16 23:30:26 1997 Sergio Flores * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp (main): Changed the code to use the resolve_initial_references () interface to get the object refrence to the naming service. * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (main): Now uses the resolve_initial_references() to get the naming service object reference, to get the logger factory object reference. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (main): * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.h: Added code to respond to multicast requests for the IOR. Added code to respond to multicast requests for the IOR. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Fixed some formatting problems dealing with the precision of the output. Sun Nov 16 14:48:00 1997 * test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{server,client}.dsp: Updated library path for release version. * TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.mak: * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added new files (be_state_*.cpp) into project file. Sun Nov 16 12:56:24 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: The _is_a_skel method's signature had an Object_ptr obj parameter which was unused. Instead of generating the ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj) line of code, we use /* obj */ in the signature. Sun Nov 16 05:51:38 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.31, released Sun Nov 16 05:51:38 1997. Sun Nov 16 00:22:04 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Fixed output for structs and union test. * tao/iiopobj.cpp: If the user provides no key for an object we generate one, based on the object address. * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: The length() method should get the maximum if reallocation occurs. * tao/orb_core.cpp: * tao/orbobj.cpp: * tao/orbobj.h: * tao/params.cpp: * tao/params.h: Added new options to the ORB (-ORBeventserviceior, -ORBscheduleserviceior), this should go away once the Naming Service works properly, but are needed now to locate this services. * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile: Added several small classes that help when using the Scheduling and/or the Event Service. * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.i: Encapsulate the construction and configuration of the Scheduling Service. * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.i: Implement a simple, but fast, Scheduling Service based on a precomputed scheduling. * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i: Simplify the creation of QoS structures for the Event Service. * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Utilities.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Utilities.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Utilities.i: Simplify manipulation of the RT_Infos for the Scheduling Service. * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients.h: * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients_T.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients_T.h: Helpers to adapt PushSuppliers and PushConsumers. * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp: This files were generated by the IDL compiler and don't need any hand crafting (so far). I still maintain them in CVS because the compiler is not stable enough. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Makefile: Removed spurious call to rm. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: Removed the (already commented out) include of "orb.idl". Sat Nov 15 21:38:48 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: The generated length() method will reallocate the sequences now. * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp: It was initializing nested constants in the client header file, Andy told me how to fix it. * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Fixed typo in generated code: s/_tao_enviroment/_tao_environment/ * TAO_IDL/be/be_field.cpp: Only generate the inline members of the field type if the type is not imported. * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Removed old code to support plain fork (without ACE). Also removed temporary files *unless* we are on Win32, were removing the file and keeping it open fails. * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp: Added routines to obtain the generated names of any IDL file, not only the one we are processing. * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: The compiler now generate all the required include directives when the IDL file contains some. * tao/params.cpp: Initialize name_service_port_ to zero in the constructor. Sat Nov 15 21:20:01 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: The typecode info was getting generated in a wrong file because of setting the worng file to generate it in. * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Some extra indentation was getting generated for typecodes. This is fixed. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: For parameters of type ObjRefs, we were not passing the address of the object_ptr to the Any constructor. This would have caused seg faults when decoding. This is now fixed. * TAO_IDL/be: Split be_state.cpp into a number of files based on the IDL types, e.g., be_state_struct.cpp, be_state_union.cpp, ... * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: Name creation now uses a uniform strategy rather than typedefed sequences assuming the name of the typedef and anonymous sequences getting a generated name. This was required to eliminate a number of multiple declarations errors. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_union.cpp: Since C++ does not allow instances of classes to appear inside a union declaration, the private data members for data members of type objref, strings, sequences, and anys must be pointers. This changes code in the accessor methods defined in the generated *.i files for the union. * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: There were some instances of the incorrectly spelled _tao_enviroment remaining which have been corrected. * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,i,cpp}: Added these 3 files that define the self managed data type similar to a String_var. These self managed data types are required for struct/union members that are strings or obj references, as well as for element types of sequences. * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Added code to generate the typecode structure for typedefs. These use the tk_alias kind field. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union,be_state}.cpp: Improvements to union with string members. However, this is still incomplete and will be done by the next couple of commits. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: Removed the ACE_DEBUG stmt for printing object keys. Sat Nov 15 18:03:39 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (make_cubit): We don't need to free up the object key since it's no longer allocated dynamically. * tao/object: Changed the _get_name() method to return const char * to be consistent with the iiopobj change below. * tao/iiopobj: Fixed _get_name() so that it doesn't allocate memory by having it return const char * and just return the pointer. This should fix some subtle problems. Sat Nov 15 12:19:55 1997 Nanbor Wang * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Changed two loop counters from type int to type size_t. Sat Nov 15 01:33:08 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.30, released Sat Nov 15 01:33:08 1997. Fri Nov 14 19:45:01 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp : * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h : * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp : - Fixed the difference in latency problem from DII and IDL. - Changed the DII_Cubit client interface to be similar to IDL, now you can specify hostname and port number, instead of the IOR. Fri Nov 14 17:48:14 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp: Fixed problem with the new Environment parameter for _narrow (). * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Makefile: No need to include rules.bin.GNU. Fri Nov 14 17:08:20 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Make sure that host is set to 0 in all the constructors. * tao/iiopobj.cpp (Profile): Modified the code to consistently store a NUL at the end of each object key string. Fri Nov 14 17:10:20 1997 Sumedh Mungee * cubit_i.cpp: Changed &d to %d in ACE_ERROR Fri Nov 14 16:42:21 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made sure that the resource factory faked entry had the proper number of arguments specified. Fri Nov 14 14:11:47 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile: Added new library that contains the stubs and skeletons for the TAO services. * orbsvcs/Makefile: * orbsvcs/bin/Makefile: * orbsvcs/tests/Makefile: Added top level Makefiles. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Makefile: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svc.conf: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/NS_CosNaming.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/NS_CosNaming.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp: Moved the naming service implementation from the TAO subdirectory to this place. * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/Makefile: * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/svc.conf: * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/clnt.h: * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/clnt.cpp: A simple test program for the naming service, it simply tries to locate it and connect to it. * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/Client.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/CosNaming.idl: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/Makefile: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/NS_CosNaming.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/NS_CosNaming.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/logger-main.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/logger.idl: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/logger_tie.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/logger_tie.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Orbix/server-main.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/CosNaming.idl: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/CosNaming_i.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/CosNaming_i.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/Makefile: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/NS_CosNaming.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/NS_CosNaming.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/clnt.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/clnt.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/svc.conf: * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/svr.cpp: We will only maintain the TAO version for the naming service, no need to keep this subdirectories. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecScheduler.idl: The Real Time Scheduling Service. This module declares the QoS structures (RT_Info) and the interface for the global scheduler. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl: Part of the Real Time Event Services interface, this file contains the Event type, the basic interfaces for consumers and suppliers and some exceptions. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl: Part of the Real Time Event Services interface, in particular this module defines the event channel, the proxy interfaces and the QoS aware subscription and registration interfaces. * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Service_Constants.h: The Event Service implementation and the Scheduling Service implementation require this file, which defines some constants and static limits. For lack of a better place I putted it here. * orbsvcs/lib/CosNaming.idl: Moved the IDL file to the library, otherwise it cannot be used by clients. * tao/corba.h: Added some macros that support portable exception handling, either through C++ exceptions or the CORBA::Enviroment parameter. * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.i: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.h: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.i: * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp: I had to modify the IDL compiler generated files, I will keep the files in CVS until we no longer need to modify it. Fri Nov 14 13:02:52 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * tao/decode.cpp: TAO_Marshal_Objref::decode line 615 which tried to set the underlying object_addr was invoking an incorrect inline function because of lack of passing an argument to the object_addr () method. Specifically, due to the lask of argment, the "retrieve" method was getting called whereas we wanted the "set" method. All we do is pass a 0 (NUL) argument. This suffices because we have already decoded the host and port number. So all information is with us to set the server address. Fri Nov 14 00:29:09 1997 David L. Levine * TAO_IDL/fe/lex.yy.cpp: set RCS -ko option so that the Id keyword won't get expanded on checkout. That was causing CVS to think that a merge was needed. Thu Nov 13 19:11:36 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/giop.cpp (start): Updated the code to use the new object_addr() style. * tao/iiopobj: Added many fixes to the Profile code to fix nasty bugs. Also, renamed {get|set}_object_addr() to simply object_addr(), which is the correct style. * tao/iiopobj.h: Replaced the use of "localhost" with ACE_DEFAULT_SERVER_HOST. This is necessary to support broken platforms like MVS that don't support "localhost"... * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (parse_args): Assume for the moment that any arguments starting with `-O' are `-ORB' or `-OA'. This should be fixed by having the ORB_init() and POA_init() methods consume their argv/argc's. Thu Nov 13 16:18:32 1997 * tao/orb_core.h: * tao/default_client.h: * tao/default_server.h: Changed ACE_SVC_FACTORY_DECLARE to ACE_FACTORY_DECLARE. * tao/orb_core.cpp: * tao/default_client.cpp: * tao/default_server.cpp: Changed ACE_SVC_FACTORY_DEFINE to ACE_FACTORY_DEFINE. * tao/corba.h: Added include "tao/tao_internals.h". * tao/tao_internals.h: Disable header file inclusions. I've put this file into corba.h. * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Changed to use "tao/corba.h". * tao/TAO.mak: * tao/TAO.dsp: Replaced ACE_BUILD_SVC_DLL with TAO_BUILD_DLL. * tao/corba.h: Added TAO_Export definition. * tao/*.h: Replaced ACE_Svc_Export with TAO_Export. Added default definition to build TAO DLL on Win32. Thu Nov 13 01:47:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/iiopobj.cpp (IIOP_Object): Removed the duplicate CTORs that I'd accidentally included here during the prior merge/commit phase. Wed Nov 12 23:59:29 1997 * TAO/TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Changed to generate multithreaded codes on NT. * TAO/TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/lex.yy.cpp: * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/ast_decl.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/idl.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_identifier.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_idlist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_decllist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_exceptlist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_exprlist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_idlist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_labellist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_namelist.h: * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_strlist.h: Changed to use "ace/stdcpp.h" and removed inclusion of header files that conflict with standard C++ library. Wed Nov 12 18:59:20 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/iioporb.cpp: Added call to set object address in Profile. * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Corrected code in the copy CTOR where the host was being copied over the old host. This could prove bad if the amount of space allocated previously was too small for the hostname we're copying in. Ideally we'd use something smarter than this, but hopefully (if you read the comment below) this will go away soon. * tao/iiopobj.*: Added an ACE_INET_Addr to IIOP::Profile so that we only need to do a gethostbyname() once. After that we can used the cached information. I'd really like to remove the host/port as explicit public data members, but for now we take one step at a time. * tao/giop.cpp: Use the IIOP::Profile object address when making a connection. * tao/decode.cpp: Added code to set the object address in the Profile when an object ref is decoded. * tao/debug.h: Removed old questions in comments. * tao/connect.h: Added some documentation. Wed Nov 12 17:41:02 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * tao/iiopobj.cpp: I had forgotten to update the return type of _get_name in iiopobj.cpp to "char *" instead of "const char *". Wed Nov 12 14:28:48 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_union.cpp: Fixed a problem where the front end would not give any error if there were duplicate case labels. This was happening since an overloaded == operator taking an AST_Expression* was not getting called. Instead a simple comparison of addresses was taking place. We now use the "compare" method defined on the AST_Expression class to fix this problem. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Removed some code under #if 0. The noteworthy change, however, has to do with code that gets generated for the "_is_a_skel". Some compilers were issuing a warning saying "unused argument obj". Since we cannot change the signature of the generated "_is_a_skel", we use the trick of generatung ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj); in the code. Some other formatting changes made. * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Some very minor changes so that the generated code is properly indented. * tao/{iiopobj,object,stub}.h, iiopobj.cpp: Changed the return type of _get_name to return a heap-allocated "char *". In the earlier case we were erroneously returning a pointer to local array. This was a change I made a couple of days back to deal with the fact that object keys are octet arrays and are not null terminated. Now we take the object key and make a NULL terminated copy in a heap allocated string. It is the caller's responsibility to free this. * tao/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: Used string_free to free the string returned by _get_name. * tao/tests/Thruput/client.cpp: _narrow now uses the additional env parameter. Wed Nov 12 09:22:47 1997 David L. Levine * tao/tao_internals.cpp (open_services): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs for argc and argv if TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP. * TAO_IDL/Makefile: disabled clean and realclean targets on VxWorks, so that they don't remove tao_idl from the host build tree. Tue Nov 11 23:50:06 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.29, released Tue Nov 11 23:50:06 1997. Tue Nov 11 20:45:26 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Replaced NULL with 0. * tao/corbacom.h: Fixed the macro for TAO_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION so compilers don't whine about extra semi-colons. * tao/iioporb.cpp (iiop_string_to_object): Added a cast of (char *) 0 to disambiguate one of the methods. * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Moved the constructors and destructors of IIOP_Object from the *.i file to the *.cpp file and made them non-inline. Tue Nov 11 18:19:16 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * tao/iiopobj.{h,cpp}: Added two new constructors one of which is useful for the _bind call generated by the IDL compiler. This constructor takes the host name, port number, and key value thereby avoiding the costly string2object call inside the _bind method. The second constructor is used to reduce the amount of code that gets generated to set a IIOP_Object in the constructor of the skeleton class. Additionally, these constructors use the REENTRANT get_host_name method of the INET_Addr class to retrieve the host name. * tao/iiopobj.h,stub.h: Modified the signature of _get_name to return a const char*. So users will have to copy this value. * tao/iiopobj.cpp: The method _get_name uses an internal character array in which the object key is copied. This is necessary so that we can NULL terminate the opaque key and return it to the user. * tao/orbconf.h,cdr.h: Commented (and will eventually remove) the defintion of MY_BYTE_SEX from cdr.h. Instead, we now use the macro TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER which gets defined in orbconf.h. The files affected due to this renaming are: tao/{iioporb.cpp, giop.cpp, except.cpp, cdr.cpp, encode.cpp, interp.cpp, tc_const.cpp} The following files in the IDL compiler source were affected since they had to generate TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER instead of MY_BYTE_SEX. TAO_IDL/be/{be_array,be_enum,be_interface,be_sequence,be_structure, be_union}.cpp * tao/{typecode,decode}.cpp: some reformatting, indentation. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: code generated for _bind uses the newly added constructor to class IIOP_Object. * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface.be_state}.cpp: Code generated for _narrow now takes an additional CORBA::Environment parameter. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: cubit_i.cpp - in the method make_cubit, we make a copy of the string returned by _get_name and then free that memory. clnt.cpp: The tests for unions have been uncommented. The reason they were not working and resulting in seg fault was that methods of the cubit interface were being invoked on the factory object. Tue Nov 11 10:07:04 1997 David L. Levine * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/Makefile: added missing before (VAR) in VBIN definition. * tao/orbconf.h: added __i386 to TAO_WORDS_BIGENDIAN check, because that's what g++/VxWorks uses. Also added __alpha to little endian CPUs. * tao/orb_core.i: fixed preprocessor test for using the ACE_Hash_Addr::hash_i specialization. Tue Nov 11 04:22:44 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.28, released Tue Nov 11 04:22:44 1997. Tue Nov 11 01:16:07 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Reformatted the multicast Name Service locator just a bit. * tao/orbconf.h: Started putting a more sane way of automatically determining the size of various datatypes into TAO. Tue Nov 11 00:36:39 1997 Sergio Flores * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/ior_multicast.h: * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/ior_multicast.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/clnt.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/clnt.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/svr.cpp: * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/Makefile: Added multicast resolution of the logger service example. Tue Nov 11 00:36:39 1997 Sergio Flores * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): changed macro for default multicast port. - Added support for multicast mechanism to resolve the name service. * tao/orbconf.h: Added some definitions for TAO's default multicast and reply port, and the default timeout value. Tue Nov 11 00:00:25 1997 David L. Levine * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Makefile: removed MUNCHED because it's no longer needed for g++/VxWorks. Mon Nov 10 22:02:42 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/interp.cpp (declare_entry): Moved TAO_ALIGNMENT_MAGIC_NUMBER to orbconf.h instead of burying it in interp.cpp. * tao/corbacom.h: Rather than trying to guess what the size of wchar_t, let's just use what's in ACE. Mon Nov 10 19:26:03 1997 Sumedh Mungee * tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_INT): FreeBSD and NetBSD have 4 byte ints. Thanks to Nanbor for pointing this out. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added template instantiation for ACE_Atomic_Op. * tao/orbconf.h: NetBSD has a long double of size 12, as does FreeBSD. Fixed SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE to fix this. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main): Removed cerr's and replaced them with ACE_ERROR_RETURN's and the like. Mon Nov 10 01:25:19 1997 * tao/giop.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to classes (TAO_GIOP_Request_Header, TAO_GIOP_Invocation, TAO_GIOP.) Some of them may not be necessary. Mon Nov 10 00:09:24 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.27, released Mon Nov 10 00:09:24 1997. Sun Nov 09 23:43:04 1997 * tao/corba.h: Reordered the inclusion of poa.i, giop.i, iioporb.i, and iiopobj.i * tao/tao_internals.cpp (close_services): Fixed typo. Sun Nov 09 23:32:58 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.26, released Sun Nov 09 23:32:58 1997. Sun Nov 09 22:04:12 1997 * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): * tao/tao_internals.cpp (close_services): Changed ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex to ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_MUTEX. Sun Nov 9 16:05:56 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h: Added clnt.h and restructured the code so it is similar to the IDL_Cubit example. It doesn't, however, have the same options because the DII example uses an ior as input. * tao/debug.cpp: Added dummy function to get rid of "'debug_stream' defined but not used" warning. Sun Nov 9 13:03:37 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao: Removed the svc.conf.eg file since it was out of date. * tao/svrrqst: Removed the #include for svrrqst.i since we don't need any inline functions now. * tao/tao_internals: Removed the #include for tao_internals.i since we don't need any inline functions now. * tao/varout.h: Cleaned up the programming style. * tao: Continued to replace all fields with names _foo to foo_. * tao/iioporb.cpp: Move the hex routines into ACE since they are more general. * tao/iioporb.cpp: Removed the inclusion of iioporb.i since it is already included in corba.h. * tao: Replaced all uses of ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX since this is portable... * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Removed the inclusion of iiopobj.i since it is already included in corba.h. * tao/giop.cpp: Moved several large inlined methods into the *.cpp file. * tao/giop: Removed the enormous (and unused) incoming_message() method. * tao/giop.cpp: Removed the inclusion of giop.i since that is handled in corba.h. * tao: Removed the factories.i and factories.cpp files since they don't seem to be used by anything. * tao/{corbacom,except}.*: Changed SYSEX to the more politically correct TAO_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION. * tao: Replaced all uses of wslen() and wscpy() with the corresponding ACE_OS wide string functions. * tao/orbconf.h: Removed all the HAVE_WIDEC_H stuff. This should be handed by ACE. * tao/connect.i: Removed the template instantiations since they were commented out and didn't appear to be used. * tao/connect.cpp: connect.i was already being included in corba.h, so don't include it again. * tao/client_factory.cpp: Moved inlined constructor/destructor from the *.i file into the *.cpp file. * tao/cdr.cpp (CDR): Moved a bunch of absurdly long inlined methods from the *.i file into the *.cpp file. * tao/any.cpp (CORBA_Any): refcount_ has previously been uninitialized. I gave it a value of 1. * tao/any.cpp (CORBA_Any): Moved the initialization into the base/member section, where it belongs. * tao/any.h: Corrected a spelling mistake in an enumeral and upper-cased the minor codes for exceptional returns. Are these actually used anywhere? * tao: Removed all the unnecessary #if 0 ... #endif header files. I don't know why there were still there. * tao/except.h: Moved the #ifdef for minor and major into orbconf.h, where they belong. * tao/orbconf.h: Removed all the DECLARED_* macros since they no longer made sense once we've got ACE. * tao/orbconf.h: Moved the TAO_DEFAULT* macros from ace/OS.h here, which is more where they belong. * tao/default_server.cpp (TAO_Default_Server_Strategy_Factory): * tao/{debug.h,orbconf.h}: Removed the DECLARED_STRERROR macro since ACE handles this. Sun Nov 09 10:18:06 1997 David L. Levine * tao/connect.cpp: fixed RCS keyword (Id instead of id). Sat Nov 08 23:23:41 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.25, released Sat Nov 08 23:23:41 1997. Sat Nov 8 21:27:34 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Removed the code that always binded us to our hostname. This is unnecessary and makes it hard to use other interfaces on the same host (such as localhost or some ATM interface, etc.). With this change (and the corresponding changes to ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name()), we can now bind to INADDR_ANY. * docs/releasenotes: Added Marina's documentation for the Trader and cleaned up all the other entries to make them consistent. * tao: Changed ProfileBody to Profile, TaggedProfile to Tagged_Profile, ProfileSeq to Profile_Sequence, and ProfileId to Profile_ID. * tao/iiopobj.cpp (ProfileBody): For some god knows why reason, the CORBA::String and CORBA::UShort parameters to ProfileBody where being passed as references. This is silly, so I changed them to non-references. * tao/connect.cpp (open), tao/poa.cpp (create): Replaced a use of ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name(void) with ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name (char *, size_t), which is reentrant. * tao/Makefile: Removed the DCFLAGS, OCFLAGS, and the TAO_ORB_CORE target macros from the Makefile since they were unnecessary. Thanks to Arturo for reporting this. * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Fixed a strange format code in print_exception that was causing a seg fault. What the heck does %#lx mean? Thanks to Mark L Boriack for reporting this. Fri Nov 07 21:23:35 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/orb_core.h: * tao/marshal.h: * tao/corbacom.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to some classes. * tao/any.cpp: Removed delete after DEEP_FREE call, it crashes on NT and it should be unneeded. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp (gen_code): When generating arguments for the server header don't use nested types. The fully qualified type name is needed, even on NT. * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp: Added code to generate a default constructor. Fri Nov 07 17:26:49 1997 * tao/TAO.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp: Removed ACE_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE flag. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.cpp (main): Added a return statement to satisfy MSVC. Fri Nov 7 18:20:46 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/{client,server}/svc.conf: Updated to reflect the proper combination of options to achieve the thread-per-ORB-per-rate concurrency model. * docs/components.html: Updated to refer to seminal documentation referred to below. * docs/configurations.html: Started some new documentation. It's got a ways to go right now. :-) Fri Nov 07 15:42:45 1997 David L. Levine * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): check for 0 argv[curarg] before calling strcmp on it. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Makefile: added MUNCHED for VxWorks/g++. Fri Nov 7 10:30:59 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Updated faked service entries to include new Resource Factory. This is the fallback for VxWorks. * tao/orb_core.h (TAO_Resource_Factory): Added much comments. Fri Nov 07 02:45:56 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.24, released Fri Nov 07 02:45:56 1997. Fri Nov 7 01:58:30 1997 Nanbor Wang * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp: Added the (__FreeBSD__) flag to correctly include wait.h file. * tao/orb_core.cpp: Replaced ACE_NETBSD with ACE_HAS_THREADS in template instantiation segment. * tao/orbconf.h: Added the (__FreeBSD__) flag to exclude inclusion of widec.h. * tao/orbobj.cpp (Release): Wrapped ACE_GUARD with ACE_MT macro. Fri Nov 07 01:46:04 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/(cubitC.cpp, cubit.cpp): Byte order changed from 1 to MY_BYTE_SEX. Thu Nov 6 23:59:45 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/params.cpp: Moved all the inlined methods out of the header file and put them in the *.cpp file. I hope this doesn't cause problems for GCC on VxWorks. * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp: Fixed a mistake with how the long string constant was defined. The scheme being used wasn't portable. Thu Nov 06 20:58:52 1997 * tao/connect.cpp: Made sure that TAO_Server_Connection_Handler and TAO_Client_Connection_Handler have a zero Reactor pointer. If this is not the case, they will try to deregister from a sometimes non-existent Reactor. Thu Nov 6 19:06:59 1997 Sergio Flores * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated status of Naming Service port to TAO. * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp (gen_client_header): removed warning for unused variable. Thu Nov 6 17:07:58 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/tao_internals.i: Added missing #include file. * tao/tao_internals.i: Change lock used as monitor for service count to use ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance(). This pleases VxWorks (but makes me nauseous). * tao/tao_internals.h: Removed static instances of locks to please VxWorks. * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Changed lock used for the monitor here to be ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance(). This pleases VxWorks (but makes me nauseous). * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Merged in changes for new Naming Service-related options that got accidentally overwritten last night. * docs/Options.html: Added documentation for new Naming Service-related options in. * tao/orbobj.h: Added documentation for a few static methods. * tao/params.h: Changed LOCAL_INLINE macro to TAO_LOCAL_INLINE to avoid possible collisions with application macros. Thu Nov 6 14:51:22 1997 Sumedh Mungee * TAO_IDL/Makefile: Renamed libutil to libtao_idl_util. libutil is a system library on NetBSD. Updated TAO_IDL/util/Makefile to be compatible with this. * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (server_header): Changed ::toupper to be toupper, since toupper is a macro on some platforms (like netbsd). * TAO_IDL/driver/{drv_preproc.cpp, drv_fork.cpp}: NetBSD has sys/wait.h, instead of wait.h. Added #define to fix it. Thu Nov 6 01:40:29 1997 Sumedh Mungee * tao/tao_internals.h: #defined ACE_Thread_Mutex to be ACE_Null_Mutex for NetBSD. * tao/orbconf.h: Added NetBSD to the #define around HAVE_WIDEC_H. * tao/orb_core.cpp: #defined around some thread-specific template instantiations which are not needed on NetBSD. * tao/except.h: Undefined "minor" and "major, since these are defined in NetBSD. Thu Nov 06 14:47:15 1997 David L. Levine * tao/params.[hi]: inlined some functions in the class declaration because g++ for VxWorks couldn't deal with them in the .i file. * tao/tao_internals.*,orbobj.cpp: fixed replacement of orbinit_lock_ and service_lock_ with ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance (). Thu Nov 06 02:17:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.23, released Thu Nov 06 02:17:02 1997. Wed Nov 5 23:44:42 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/{orbobj,iioporb}.h: Made the first parameter to string_to_object() a const CORBA::String rather than just a CORBA::String. * tao/params (addr): Fixed a bug where we should have been using const ACE_INET_Addr & rather than just ACE_INET_Addr &. * tao/orbobj: Began adding the hooks for a multicast-based implementation of resolve_initial_references(). * tao/params: Added a new set/get interface to optionally set/get the IOR of the configured Naming Service. * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Added a -ORBnameservice command-line option. If this option is given, it indicates the IOR where the Naming Service resides. * tao/params: Changed the signature of TAO_ORB_Parameters::addr() to return a const ACE_INET_Addr & rather than an ACE_INET_Addr. * tao/params: Added new get/set name_service_port() methods to get/set the name service multicast port. Wed Nov 5 22:38:08 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp (main): * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp (main): Fixed missing declarations and unused variables and labels. Fixed uninitialized and unused variables. * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.cpp (ttcp_sequence_i): * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.h (class ttcp_sequence_i): Change to use POA. * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/README (server): Changed comment on how to start the server to indicate the use of "-d" to see the IOR. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (Cubit_Client): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Fixed comparison of ">=" on an unsigned variable to compare only ">". Wed Nov 05 20:35:52 1997 * tao/orb_core.cpp (fini): Close down the connector. Other ORB_Core specific objects also need to be cleaned up (and deleted). * tests: Made sure that the orb pointer returned by ORB::init() is correctly freed up. Following files were updated: TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp TAO/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/server.cpp Wed Nov 5 19:37:25 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL compiler: files be_array.cpp, be_interface.cpp, be_sequence.cpp, be_structure.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_enum.cpp - Added MY_BYTE_SEX to the typecode generation methods. be_operation.cpp, be_argument.cpp, be_state.cpp, be_codegen.* - Modified to deal with _out parameters that are passed to the actual upcalls in the server-side skeleton. Some minor changes involving removing commented-out code in the constructors of some classes. * tests/Thruput_test: Some modifications. Still needs more work get it to run. Wed Nov 05 19:26:44 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/DII_Cubit.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/IDL_Cubit.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/server.dsp: * tao/TAO.dsp: Renamed debeg version of TAO library to TAO.dll for NT. Wed Nov 05 13:39:19 1997 David L. Levine * TAO_IDL/Makefile: more hacks to not build the IDL compiler on VxWorks. Wed Nov 05 12:53:53 1997 * tao/interp.cpp: - Win32 does not use "fixed" byte alignment. Fixed the setup_entry macro to take this into account. - (declare_entry) Seperated the declaration of the structs from their use. This is necessary for the VC++4.2 compiler. * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Commented out debug message, since obj is not declared. Wed Nov 05 01:41:34 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.22, released Wed Nov 05 01:41:34 1997. Wed Nov 5 00:48:58 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Thruput_test/utils.cpp: Delete static definitions of functions. * tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp: * tests/Thruput_test/ttcpC.cpp (_duplicate): * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp (main): * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.cpp (sendStructSeq): * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp: Removed a couple of warnings of unused and uninitialized variables. Included "ace/ACE.h" to be able to have the _REENTRANT flag. Wed Nov 5 00:18:17 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: Added code to generate the missing operator [] for sequences. Tue Nov 4 23:38:54 1997 Sumedh Mungee * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/{server,client}/Makefile: Removed the (evil) TAO_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE flag. Now this functionality is provided by svc.conf. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/: Fixed the server code to use the new IDL compiler generated code. * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: Changed the order of the initializers to remove g++ warnings, and added some ACE_UNUSED_ARGs. Also removed the hand-crafted stubs, to make way for the idl-compiler generated files. Tue Nov 4 23:21:29 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main): * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (run): Changed the format of the output to be more readable. Also, fixed resolution of the time for the cube_struct_dii() call. Tue Nov 4 21:12:48 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/except.h: Removed print_exception(). It seems unnecessary and pollutes the global namespace. Tue Nov 4 16:58:12 1997 Chris Cleeland * {tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit,tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit, tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit,tests/Demux_Test, tests/Thruput_test}/Makefile: Added an explicit definition for VBIN so that VxWorks can build properly. * tao/orb_core.*: Modified TAO_Resource_Factory so that it divides the information that it tracks between pre-allocated resources and resources which are allocated by the application. Specifically, the orb and root poa pointers are in here (though it's possible that when we move to a full POA implementation that the root poa can be pre-allocated as well). These pointers are initialized to zero and are given values by the TAO_ORB_Core instance writing through back to the TAO_Resource_Factory instance. Also, this implementation reduced the number of singletons/TSS singletons utilized by the resource factory. The initial "get-it-working" cut used a singleton/tss singleton pair for every resource, which was quite wasteful in environments such as NT that don't have many TSS slots available. Perhaps if we get even more clever this can be reduced even further. * tao/except.*: Added print_exception() function for backwards compatibility. It simply calls CORBA::Environment::print_exception(). Tue Nov 04 10:45:07 1997 * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: Enclosed a #pragma ident with #if !defined ACE_WIN32. Compilers other than SunCC might also need this. Tue Nov 4 13:47:26 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit: Modified the Makefiles in the client and server directory so that they use the TAO IDL compiler. Also added the clean and realclean targets. Updated the server side cubit.idl because it was different from what the client was using. * TAO_IDL compiler: Fixed the following problems (1) Removed the extra call to Release in the generated _narrow method in be_interface.cpp (2) Used ACE_CORBA_1 (Object) instead of CORBA::Object in the class declaration for interfaces - in be_interface.cpp (3) be_interface_fwd.cpp - var_impl had to be updated to generate code that uses the ptr () method in the calls to _duplicate * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: Fixed some outstanding issues and made sure that it works. Updated the README file. Tue Nov 04 09:48:51 1997 David L. Levine * tao/orb_core.i: disabled the ACE_Hash_Addr::hash_i () template specialization on g++/VxWorks because g++ cygnus-2.7.2-960126 can't handle it. * tao/except.h (line 118): removed backslash at end of comment line. Some compilers complain about that. * tao/except.cpp (CORBA_SystemException): reordered initializers to match declaration order. * TAO_IDL/Makefile: don't build the IDL compiler on VxWorks. Tue Nov 04 06:26:14 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: It still generated fully qualified names for some sequences, that will not work on NT. Tue Nov 04 05:32:44 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.21, released Tue Nov 04 05:32:44 1997. Tue Nov 4 04:42:17 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp: * tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp: Fixed "print_exception" errors and errors due to some changes in the orb compiler. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (svc): Use unsigned int for variable that is used for positive comparisons only. Tue Nov 04 01:00:51 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/IDL_Cubit.dsw: Renamed former test.dsw to IDL_Cubit.dsw. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp: Renamed executables for debug version to client.exe and server.exe on NT. * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/DII_Cubit.dsw: Renamed former test.dsw to DII_Cubit.dsw. * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp: Renamed executables for debug version to client.exe and server.exe on NT. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Cubit.mak: Added cubit.idl into makefile and its custom build settings. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MT_Cubit.dsw: Renamed former MTCubit.dsw to MT_Cubit.dsw. Mon Nov 03 23:16:06 1997 * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce_value): Added an explicit cast (float) to avoid NT warnging messages. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (svc): Removed declaration of function print_exception. It's now a member function of CORBA_Environment. * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: Commented out include . This was causing compilation errors on NT. * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed to use the new CORBA_Environment::print_exception. * tao/except.h (CORBA_Environment): Added ACE_Svc_Export to this class. * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MTCubit.dsw: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/server.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/client.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/server.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/test.dsw: Added new workspace and project files. * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Moved the output executables to the usual place. * TAO_IDL/be/be.h: Added #ifdef'ed pragma to diable warning 4250 on NT. This is only temporary and should be fixed later. * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp (gen_var_defn): * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp (gen_var_defn): * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (gen_var_defn): Removed unused local variables declaration (s). Mon Nov 3 23:25:30 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL Compiler: Files be_sequence.cpp, be_typedef.cpp, be_state.cpp: Lots of improvements to get sequences to work. Support for sequences of strings or obj references is limited. But for all other cases, this seems to be working fine. There were some unnecessary lines of code in be_state.cpp that were giving rise to multiple declarations errors. These are removed. Mon Nov 3 18:30:09 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main): compare with "!= 0" rather than "== -1" for errors. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl (enum discrim): Deleted enumerations not used. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (please_exit): Fixed unused variable. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h (Cubit_Factory_i): * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h (objrefs): Fixed invalid comparison between a signed and unsigned variable. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Fixed comparison of ">=" on an unsigned variable to compare only ">". * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp (gen_client_stubs): Removed unused variable warning. * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp (yytoks): Added brackets to the array of structures being initialized. Mon Nov 03 18:43:37 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: "Fixed" skeleton generation code. Sometimes the formal parameter names for the skeleton can clash with the user defined names for the (IDL) method parameter names. To minimize the chances of such a problem I choose very long parameter names for the skeleton (things like <_tao_enviroment> instead of just ), but the right solution is to ignore the user defined parameter names and generate them using some numbering scheme. * TAO_IDL/be/be_predefined_type.cpp: Generate CORBA::_tc_Object as the TypeCode for all pseudo object, this is a hack but works for the files we are using right now (maybe it will fail for complex things, like the interface repository). * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: Fixed a number of minor problems: Missing _ptr type for sequences. The return type for T_var::operator-> was different in the .h and .i file. * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: tc_name_ and type_name_ were not initialized, producing some segfaults under NT. Mon Nov 3 13:45:54 1997 Chris Cleeland * {tao,TAO_IDL/util,TAO_IDL/narrow,TAO_IDL/fe,TAO_IDL/driver, TAO_IDL/be,TAO_IDL/ast,Benchmark/benchmark}/Makefile (SHLIB): Fixed definition so that the extension was(SOEXT) rather than hard-coded to "so". This makes things compile on VxWorks better. Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out. Sun Nov 02 19:42:08 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.20, released Sun Nov 02 19:42:08 1997. Sun Nov 2 19:20:57 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO/tao/except.*: Made the "print_exception" utility function as a method of class Environment. * TAO/tao/giop.cpp: In the TAO_GIOP_Invocation::start method, we were previously not returning even if the connection establishment phase was failing. A return statement is inserted. However, there still are problems when the GIOP_Invocation variable called "call" goes out of scope. * TAO_IDL Compiler: be_interface.cpp - The _bind call now generates a "char IOR" instead of "static char IOR" since the latter will be problematic with multiple threads. Thanks to Arturo Montes for pointing that out. * TAO/test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit : Improved the code so that it uses the "print_exception" which is now defined on class CORBA::Environment. The clnt still needs improvement in terms of handling invalid parameters and gracefully exiting. * IDL_Compiler: The bug resulting out of encoding object references has been fixed atleast on Solaris using g++ as well as SunCC. Changes made to be_operation.cpp and be_state.cpp such that the return value for object references is always of type CORBA::Object_ptr rather than the real interface type. In addition, keeping in perspective the change that Irfan made and described below (in encode.cpp), the Any that holds the result *does not* own the value. In contrast, for the rest of the cases the result (of type Any) owns the result. * be_sequence.cpp: Additional work in progress. Full changelog entry will be available in the next commit. Fri Oct 31 22:20:06 1997 * tao/encode.cpp (encode): Changed cast of data from *(CORBA::Object_ptr *) to (CORBA::Object_ptr). * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Manipulation of curarg was all messed up. Fixed it such that it was not incremented unnecessarily. Fri Oct 31 13:46:04 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/Options.html: Updated to specify new TAO_Resource_Factory service and its options. * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Updated to reflect recent work. * tao/orb_core.*: Added the acceptor and related members and methods from CORBA_ORB. Made TAO_Resource_Factory a Service Object so that it can be loaded via the Service Configurator. The option to change its resources between global and thread-specific is "-ORBresources global" and "-ORBresources tss", respectively. * tao/orbobj.*: Moved the acceptor and related members and methods to TAO_ORB_Core. * tests/.../svc.conf: Added Resource Factory as a service. * tests/Cubit/TAO/{DII_Cubit,MT_Cubit}/cubitS.cpp, tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp, tao/poa.cpp: Changed acceses that used to go to CORBA_ORB::params() to go to TAO_ORB_Core::params(). Fri Oct 31 08:39:54 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL Compiler - Intermediate commit of all improved features. * be/be_type.* : Improved the nested_type_name method such that it now takes an additional parameter called suffix that has a default value of NULL. Carlos, Sergio, and myself independently found an extremely bad piece of code that was getting generated that looked like the following: ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY)_ptr The new convention is to pass the suffix such as "_ptr", or "_var" or "_out" to this method so that it can generate valid code of the form: ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY_ptr) * be/be_decl.cpp : All the methods such as repoID (), flatname (), etc now check if the corresponding data member was created or not. If they are not, the corresponding private method e.g., compute_repoID (), are invoked. This way we do not have to call all these private methods in the constructors of all the derived be classes. The one compelling reason to do it this way is because the "names" for certain types are not available at construction time, e.g., sequences. A name to a sequence is assigned from the context it is in i.e., whether it was a named sequence in the form of a "typedef" statement or it was an anonymous sequence. As of this commit, all calls to such compute_* methods in the constructors of all the derived be classes are commented out and will eventually disappear in the next commit. * be/be_decl.cpp : One more change in be_decl.cpp is to add the case for "interface_fwd" in the generation of the _var and _out definitions and implementations. * be/be_helper.* : Added two new methods called "gen_ifdef_macro" and "gen_endif". These are required to generate the #if !defined (...) #endif macros. These are very essential if the IDL has forward declarations of interfaces. Forward declarations of interfaces must generate a forward class declaration. In addition, it has to typedef the "_ptr" type and define the "_var" and "_out" types. However, the real "be_interface" class does this too which can result in "multiple declarations" errors from the C++ compiler. Hence we use this scheme. As in the case of the nested_type_name method mentioned above, this method also takes a default "suffix" parameter (= 0). This is required for the "_var", "_ptr", and "_out" suffixes. * be/be_interface.cpp be/be_interface_fwd.cpp: Used the TAO_OutStream::gen_ifdef_macro () and gen_endif methods for the definitions of the _ptr, _var, and _out classes and their implementations. *be/be_sequence.* : Lot of modifications and change in the design in terms of handling the base types that themselves could be sequences. Although the AST_Sequence i.e., OMG IDL does not define a "sequence" to be a scope producing construct like structs or unions, we choose to make "be_sequence" to be a scope producing construct. This is no way alters the OMG IDL language because the front-end is still the same. "be_sequence" was made to inherit from scope because the sequence mapping gives rise to a C++ class which is a scoping construct. This way, base types that turn out to be anonymous sequences can be assigned a parent scope and their name generation will fall in line with other classes. There are certain features missing with sequences at this commit time, but this should reduce tweaking the generated code to a large extent. * be/be_state.cpp: Update the code for handling sequences and typedefs. Typedefs should be handled properly now. * All other *.cpp files: Either commented out the compute_* calls in the constructors or removed them. Fri Oct 31 03:00:09 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orb_core.cpp: Moved call to connector's open() into init(), thus insuring that it gets called only AFTER all the resources are available from the Resource Factory. * tao/orb_core.*: Changed data members to be associations rather than containment. This allows decoupling of the "thread-specificness" of these resources from the thread-specificness of the general TAO_ORB_Core container. Also added set accessors for those resources. Added TAO_Resource_Factory class from which the TAO_ORB_Core container initializes itself. For now this remains a singleton which is, at compile-time, determined to be either TSS or not. But, soon, it will be loaded via the Service Configurator and its TSS nature determined at runtime. * tao/giop.h: Updated to use the new ACE macro ACE_CLASS_IS_NAMESPACE. * tao/default_server.*: Implemented the new open() method so that it initializes the Reactive and Threaded strategies from the information in TAO_ORB_Core. * tao/server_factory.*: Added open() method to be called after all ORB resources are loaded up. This method can then be used by a strategy factory to further initialize its contained strategies if they require handles to resources to which the ORB might legislate access. The default implementation does nothing. Fri Oct 31 01:03:05 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): obj was not declared. Commented out use of obj in dmsg1. * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_Factory_i): numobjs_ was used before it was assigned. * TAO/TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.{mak,mdp}: Added VC++4.2 make files. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump): Streaming the enum was ambiguous. Therefore the enum was cast to an int. Thu Oct 30 22:50:44 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/corba.h: Added a definition for ACE_NESTED_CLASS, maybe it is defined in some place else, but I couldn't find it. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Fixed the definition for skeleton destructors. * TAO_IDL/be/be_helper.cpp: Added a lot of redundant ACE_OS::fflush() calls. Apparently we have two FILE* or file descriptors over the same file, bt the fflush hides the problem. * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Fixed inconsistency between operator-> declaration and definition for _out classes. Thu Oct 30 14:06:54 1997 Sergio Flores * TAO_IDL/fe/Makefile: Added an expression to the sed command in the rule to construct lex.yy.cpp, that replaces ECHO with TAO_ECHO, because a different ECHO macro is already defined in /usr/include/sys/termios.h * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Fixed some warnings about nested comments. Changed the declaration of variable i to outside of the 'for' initialization to avoid obsolete binding warnings. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface_fwd.cpp (gen_client_header): Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning, for variable i. * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp (exprtype_to_string): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_error.cpp (exprtype_to_string): Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType. These will handle a default value (i.e. NULL). Enumerations added are: AST_Expression::EV_wstring AST_Expression::EV_wchar AST_Expression::EV_longdouble AST_Expression::EV_ulonglong AST_Expression::EV_longlong Thu Oct 30 09:56:41 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/giop.h: Added comments to TAO_GIOP class explicitly pointing out its use as a namespace. Concurrently, I also scoped the CTOR, Copy CTOR, and DTOR as 'private' so nobody can mistakenly instantiate one of these puppies. Thu Oct 30 03:40:26 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/client.dsp: * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/server.dsp: Updated include files path and libarary path. * tao/giop.cpp (close_connection): Use ACE_HANDLE instead of int. Thu Oct 30 02:53:20 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.19, released Thu Oct 30 02:53:20 1997. Thu Oct 30 02:20:21 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/IDL_Cubit: Added more comments and changed the header to be ACE'ified. Make output more consistent. Thu Oct 30 02:12:27 1997 Sumedh Mungee * tests/{TAO, Cubit}: Changed the directory heirarchy to the following: tests/Cubit/TAO/ now contains all the Cubit examples, i.e. IDL_Cubit, MT_Cubit and DII_Cubit, instead of tests/. Updated the README and Makefiles to reflect this. DII_Cubit is the handcrafted "original" Cubit example. * tests/Cubit/COOL: Added the COOL version of the Cubit test. The COOL version is written for Chorus COOL version 4.1. Wed Oct 29 22:26:10 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (init): Fixed the error handling so we exit correctly when things go wrong. * tao/connect.cpp (open): Revised the code to use the new ACE_LACKS_SOCKET_BUFSIZ to detect when this feature isn't supported. * tao/{giop,connect}: Added a nifty typedef called TAO_SVC_HANDLER to remove the drudgery of expanding the template each time. * tao: Changed the name of TAO_OA_Connection_Handler to TAO_Server_Connection_Handler to be compliant with the TAO_Client_Connection_Handler. Wed Oct 29 20:47:47 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: Cleaned up the code. Added ACE_Profile_Timer to time the calls. Changed copyright header. Added more comments. Wed Oct 29 18:55:57 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/giop: Added "_"'s to the data members in TAO_GIOP_Invocation. * tao/giop (send_request): Swaped the order of the parameters for send_request() so that it would be consistent with recv_request. * tao/{connect,giop}: Changed read_message() to recv_request(), and send_message() to send_request() since these things really work on GIOP requests. * tao/{connect,giop}: Changed read_message() to recv_message(), which is more like other parts of ACE. * tao/connect.cpp: Fixed the calls to read_message() and send_message() so that they don't try to modify "this." * tao/giop: Changed the send_message() and read_message() in the TAO_GIOP class to take ACE_Svc_Handler rather than TAO_Client_Connection_Handler. Wed Oct 29 17:53:12 1997 * tao: Added TAO_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE to tao and Cubit NT makefiles. This probably needs to be added to the other NT makefiles. * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated files to pass the correct options to the factory. Wed Oct 29 16:07:20 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/giop.*: Changed most methods that took ACE_SOCK_Stream& parameters to take TAO_Client_Connection_Handler*& parameters. This makes it easier to clean up properly after errors. Also #ifdef'd out seemingly unused code (TAO_GIOP::incoming_message). Fixed call to ACE_Svc_Handler::idle() to not contain an argument. * docs/Options.html: Updated the documentation to reflect recent changes. Wed Oct 29 15:59:30 1997 Sergio Flores * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: OO'ified the code. Added class Cubit_Client. * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: added this file to contain the class definition. Wed Oct 29 11:01:11 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL compiler: be_type.cpp::nested_type_name: A quick commit made that includes an improvement over the previous scheme of generating ACE_NESTED_CLASS macros. We handle the problem of generating fully scoped names for types that were defined in some ancestor of the scope in which that type is being used. * Makefiles under TAO_IDL: Fixed a bug in the Makefiles under all the subdirectories. This bug was reported by "ARTURO MONTES" . The bug was causing circular dependencies on the libraru that was getting compiled. Wed Oct 29 06:17:36 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Must increase the loop counter. Wed Oct 29 02:11:43 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.18, released Wed Oct 29 02:11:43 1997. Wed Oct 29 00:56:26 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated documentation comments to reflect factory option changes. * tao/orbobj.*: Wiped argvec_shift and all its bugs off the face of the earth. Manojkumar Acharya should prove to be very happy about this turn of events. :-) * tao/orbobj.cpp: Weeded out old, dead code here and there and migrated much of what had been in ORB_init() into TAO_ORB_Core::init(). * tao/orb_core.*: Added methods init() and fini() which perform ORB Core-related initializations and cleanups, respectively. This is all in anticipation of having a Unified Factory which provides ORB Core as well as other information. Also began stubbing out and migrating various data members and associated accessors so that they are pointers rather than actual members. The next step is to actually make them pointers and have everything get initialized properly and deterministically and keep everything working. * tao/{giop,orb_core}.cpp: Revised code due to recent changes in ACE related to the Caching connector. * tao/default_server.{h,cpp} (parse_args): This method now uses options of the style -ORBfoo rather than the previously-cryptic single-letter options. This should allow us to eventually allow this same routine to parse args from the command line as well as inside the svc.conf file. The price we pay for consistency, however, is verbosity to the point of insanity (e.g., -ORBconcurrency...blech!) These options are briefly documented in the method header as well as in subsequent svc.conf files. * tao/decode.cpp: Added some comments for arguments. * tao/connect.{h,cpp}: Moved Connector-related typedefs and corresponding template instantiations into the proper file--orb_core.*. * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Moved much of what used to be ORB_init() into here. Changed the manner in which objref style was determined--it's no longer via a special ORB name but rather by the -ORBobjrefstyle option which can have either the value "IOR" or "URL" (default is URL). Tue Oct 28 21:15:36 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * build/SunOS5.5/TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main): Fixed the code so that if you give incorrect parameters the program exits cleanly, rather than segfaulting. Tue Oct 28 20:49:28 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/giop.cpp (start): NT Access Violation error, AGAIN! Added codes to reset this->handler_ so that ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy won't complain. Tue Oct 28 19:19:05 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_struct.cpp}: Added code that will generate the ACE_NESTED_CLASS macro *TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Implemented be_type::nexted_type_name that will generate the ACE_NESTED_CLASS macro. However, this may not be completely correct at this point because we want to see if teh compiler fails for types defined in some ancestor and whose fully scoped names are generated . * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Added code that will generate the _bind call on the interface class. * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added the _bind call in clnt.cpp. Improved the README file. *MAXNAMELEN : There was a clash with TAO_CodeGen::MAXNAMELEN. So it has been substituted by NAMEBUFSIZE as a macro in be_codegen.h Mon Oct 27 22:22:22 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/be_decl.cpp: Added a ptr () function to the _var classes hat returns the underlying ptr_ data member. This ptr () member function is now used to pass a pointer type to constructor and assignment operator from a T_var class. * TAO_IDL/be_state.cpp: Important changes related to generation of return values of operations in the stubs. In addition, an & was missing for passing string types. Some additional bugs arising out of operations with void return type have been fixed. * ./tests/IDL_Cubit: This test has been modified to include a factory interface that reads a key for the cubit object and produces an obj reference for Cubit. In addition, a preliminary version of the _bind call has been tested with IDL_Cubit. *MAXNAMELEN : Carlos informed me that MAXNAMELEN was a small constant on some platforms. This has been changed to TAO_CodeGen::MAXNAMELEN with a value of 100. Mon Oct 27 22:07:58 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_helper.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp: Set this->cli_stub_gen_ to I_TRUE once the code has been emitted. Mon Oct 27 19:34:08 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp: Set this->cli_stub_gen_ to I_TRUE at the end. * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Set the state to TAO_CodeGen::TAO_TYPEDEF_CH instead of just struct. Mon Oct 27 15:22:24 1997 Sergio Flores * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h: * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_factory.h: * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_state.h: * tao/iioporb.cpp: * tao/marshal.cpp: * tao/optable.cpp: * tao/optable.h: * tao/singletons.h: The ACE_Singleton lock type needs to be changed from ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX (or ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX) ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_MUTEX. ACE handles those more efficiently for its singletons. Change suggested by David Levine. Mon Oct 27 11:59:51 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbconf.h: Made it so _FAR is defined all the time. Thanks to Manojkumar Acharya for reporting this. Sun Oct 26 22:18:01 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.17, released Sun Oct 26 22:18:01 1997. Sun Oct 26 17:53:25 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * {tao,tests}/Makefile: Commented out the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE in these Makefiles since it is going away anyhow and is confusing... * tests/IDL_Cubit/svc.conf, tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Changed the default concurrency policy to be reactive so that things work correctly if TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE. Thanks to Sumedh for pointing this out. * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Put the TAO_DEFAULT_SERVER_PORT into ACE's OS.h file and used it in TAO. Sun Oct 26 15:07:18 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/params.h: Eliminated forward decls of the now-defunct ROA class. * tao/orb_core.h (TAO_DEFAULT_PORT): Added manifest constant for default port. * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Eliminated ugly anonymous constant use for hbuf's size. Utilized manifest constant for default port. * tao/giop.cpp: Changed calls to TAO_Client_Connection_Handler::in_use() to call the underlying Svc_Handler::idle(). * tao/connect.{h,i}: Eliminated in_use() flags because they're no longer needed with the new Strategy Connector. * tao/iioporb.cpp (string_to_object): Removed setting of the orb in the underlying CORBA::Object because it's no longer there. * tao/object.{h,i} (CORBA_Object): Eliminated the pointer to an orb within this object. This should help solve some problems in passing object references across the wire. * tao/connect.cpp: Added template instantiations for ACE_Hash_Map_Iterator to reflect Irfan's recent changes. * tests/IDL_Cubit/README: Updated documentation on the server to reflect current reality. Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/orbobj.cpp: Redid the template specialization of Hash_Addr to account for the new changes. Sun Oct 26 01:05:36 1997 * tao/corba.h: Changed from using Strategies_T.h to Strategies.h. * tao/connect.h: Removed a template argument form ACE_Hash_Addr. Removed explicit instantiation of compare_i. * tao/connect.cpp: Removed a template argument from explicit instantiation of ACE_Hash_Addr. * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp (main): Added a simple class ACE_Winsock_proper_shutdown here to shutdown winsock properly. This class should be removed later once we figure out how to close down winsock properly from ACE. * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Changed the name of shared object from libTAO to TAO. Added configuration lines for using debug version of TAO library on NT. Sun Oct 26 01:47:04 1997 Sergio Flores * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (upcase): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_string.cpp (canonicalize): * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (tc_name2long): Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop, to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed" * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_flatname): * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_repoID): * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (compute_fullskelname): Fixed error "second - I_FALSE;", should be "second = I_FALSE;" * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp (gen_server_skeletons): * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp (gen_code): Initialized pointers to 0 * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp (DRV_pre_proc): * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp (gen_server_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp (gen_client_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (gen_out_defn): * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (gen_var_defn): * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp (gen_client_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp (gen_code): * TAO_IDL/be/be_helper.cpp (operator<<): * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp (tc_encap_len): * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp (gen_client_stubs): * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp (gen_client_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_root.cpp (gen_idl2cplusplus_mapping): * TAO_IDL/be/be_predefined_type.cpp (gen_typecode): * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (gen_client_stubs): * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (gen_server_skeletons): * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (gen_operation_table): * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (gen_server_inline): * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (tc_encap_len): * TAO_IDL/be/be_field.cpp (gen_encapsulation): * TAO_IDL/be/be_field.cpp (tc_encap_len): * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum_val.cpp (gen_encapsulation): * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp (tc_encap_len): * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp (gen_client_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp (gen_client_stubs): * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp (gen_client_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp (gen_client_stubs): * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp (gen_server_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp (gen_server_skeletons): * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (be_array): * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (gen_client_header): * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (gen_client_inline): * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (gen_forany_defn): * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (gen_forany_impl): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_stack.cpp (push): Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning, for variable slen. * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_helper.h (class TAO_OutStream): Made destructor virtual; we have virtual member functions. * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (TAO_CodeGen): * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (be_decl): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_stack.cpp (UTL_ScopeStack): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (UTL_ScopeActiveIterator): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to satisfy the compiler. * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (lookup_primitive_type): Added "default" case to switch to return NULL. * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_attribute): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_operation): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_argument): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_union_branch): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_field): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_typedef): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_sequence): * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (add_array): Use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids implicit (void *) conversions warnings. Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.16, released Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997. Sun Oct 26 00:32:29 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Reverted a change that Carlos had overwritten. I guess he's not getting enough sleep these days... ;-) Sun Oct 26 00:31:38 1997 * tao/orb_core.i (hash_i): Redid the specialization in view of the new changes. Sat Oct 25 18:14:14 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (be_interface): Worked around a nasty MSVC++ compiler bug that doesn't like CORBA::Object (object_ptr). So we use an existing ACE macro for this. * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (be_interface): Fixed yet another round of uninitialized data members. It is clear that the original authors of this code wouldn't pass my ugrad programming course... * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll (idl_parse_line_and_file): Had to make a minor change to skip over the #line directive from Microsoft. In addition, had to add some code to put Microsoft-style pathnames into a canonical form (i.e., replacing = '\\' with '\'). Thanks to Darrell for helping with this. * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Added a new rule to handle the fact that the Microsoft C++ preprocessor generates tags of the form #line 1 "bar.idl" rather than #1 "bar.idl" which is what UNIX C++ compilers seem to do. * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_fullname, compute_flatname): Fixed a nasty bug where the original author thought new always returned 0'd memory... Sheesh! * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Changed fd < 0 to fd == ACE_INVALID_HANDLE to be more portable. * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (be_decl): There were two fields, flatname_ and repoID_, that weren't given initial values of 0. Thanks to Purify for finding this! * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.{yy,ll}: Replaced all uses of type names (e.g., FLOAT) with IDL_ (e.g., IDL_FLOAT) so that the code won't bomb on lame systems like NT that typedef basic types to all capitals (e.g., typedef float FLOAT). Sat Oct 25 22:28:42 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Since yytext may be an "unsigned char*" under HP-UX they define an "alias" __yytext. This hack fails miserably when using flex, since then the yytext thing can change on the fly. I use an inline function instead. Added support for #line preprocessor directives. * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Documented some of my changes for NT, namely the fact that unlinking the output file while still open causes the parsing to fail on NT. * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added new folders for source files, header files, template files, etc. I modelled this based on the ACE project files. Sat Oct 25 22:05:43 1997 Sergio Flores * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_constant.cpp (exprtype_to_string): Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType. These will handle a default value (i.e. the same case as AST_Expression::EV_none). * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (operator==): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (compare): Make the default return value I_FALSE instead of NULL which was giving "lacks a cast" warning. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (fill_definition_details): Use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids implicit (void *) conversions warnings. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (eval_symbol): Initialized pointers to 0. Sat Oct 25 17:45:17 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Fixed the same bug that Sumedh fixed. In addition, ACEified the calls to strcat and strcmp in that file. * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Used %array in the defintion section so that flex uses yytext as an array of characters rather than pointer to char. The pointer case was resulting in a segmentation fault due to lack of memory allocation for the yytext variable. However, we choose to use the array approach to be compatile with "lex" behavior. Sat Oct 25 1997 Sumedh Mungee * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Fixed proper tmp filename creation. Sat Oct 25 14:14:53 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsw: * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added a MSVC++ project file for the IDL compiler, needs several revisions byt the NT experts before shipping, but it has served me well. * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: We use ACE components to fork&exec subprocesses, get the default TMP directory and generate protable pathnames. In one case the mapping to NT is not clear: the use case is fork to get a "fresh" copy of the process and provide a unit of protection for the parent; this feature is only used if more than one IDL file is compiled at the same time. * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Fixed minor bug, it said "second - I_FALSE;", it should be "second = I_FALSE * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_argument.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_attribute.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_check.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_concrete_type.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_constant.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_decl.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_enum.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_enum_val.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_exception.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_field.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_generator.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_interface.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_interface_fwd.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_module.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_predefined_type.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_recursive.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_redef.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_root.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_sequence.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_string.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_structure.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_type.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_union.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_union_branch.cpp: * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_union_label.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_args.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_generator.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_init.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be/be_produce.cpp: * TAO_IDL/be_include/be.h: * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_generator.h: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_init.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_main.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_private.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_declarator.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_extern.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_init.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_interface_header.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_private.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/lex.yy.cpp: * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: * TAO_IDL/include/ast.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_argument.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_array.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_attribute.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_concrete_type.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_constant.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_decl.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_enum.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_enum_val.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_exception.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_expression.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_field.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_generator.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_interface.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_interface_fwd.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_module.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_operation.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_predefined_type.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_root.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_sequence.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_string.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_structure.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_type.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_typedef.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_union.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_union_branch.h: * TAO_IDL/include/ast_union_label.h: * TAO_IDL/include/be_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/drv_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/drv_private.h: * TAO_IDL/include/fe_declarator.h: * TAO_IDL/include/fe_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/fe_interface_header.h: * TAO_IDL/include/fe_private.h: * TAO_IDL/include/global_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl_bool.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl_defines.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl_fwd.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h: * TAO_IDL/include/idl_narrow.h: * TAO_IDL/include/intlmacros.h: * TAO_IDL/include/nr_extern.h: * TAO_IDL/include/util.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_decllist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_error.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_exceptlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_exprlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_identifier.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_idlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_indenter.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_labellist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_list.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_namelist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_scope.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_scoped_name.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_stack.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_string.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_strlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_decllist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_exceptlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_exprlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_idlist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_labellist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_list.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_namelist.h: * TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_strlist.h: * TAO_IDL/narrow/narrow.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_decllist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_error.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_exceptlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_exprlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_identifier.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_idlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_indenter.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_labellist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_list.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_namelist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_stack.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_string.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_strlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_decllist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_exceptlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_exprlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_idlist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_labellist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_list.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_namelist.cpp: * TAO_IDL/util/utl_tmpl/utl_strlist.cpp: Removed a *big* number of warnings, in an attempt to surface real problems. The main one was "#pragma ident" and some unused variables. Sat Oct 25 06:22:03 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.yy: I got errors parsing the idl.yy thru bison. There were errors indicating "type clash on default action". This had to do with the fact that the non-terminal "type_dcl" did not have any type defined for it, but it had "struct_type", "union_type" and others on the right-hand side of the rules. The default action of YACC is supposed to assign1 to. So the type for "struct_type" that happened to be a AST_Decl node was getting assigned to the non-terminal "type_dcl" who had no type. I am very surprised that the "yacc" on our Sparcs never ever gave this error, but bison did. Hence I have modified idl.yy slightly so that I have {$$ = 0;} as the default action. In addition, the non-terminal "type_dcl" is now defined to be of type "ival" which is defined as long inside the %union clause. Above all, the bison generated files required some prototypes. So I had to add the following to idl.yy in the declarations section. int yylex (void); void yyerror (char *); extern "C" yywrap (void); Somehow, this yywrap had to be under extern "C". I don't know why the others need not be under extern "C". Sat Oct 25 00:05:05 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.15, released Sat Oct 25 00:05:05 1997. Sat Oct 25 02:46:05 1997 Sergio Flores * TAO_IDL/fe/Makefile: Changed the YACC variable to use the bison compiler. Added "-y" to YFLAGS to make bison generate output files like yacc. Changed the LEX variable to use the flex parser instead of lex. These programs generate code that has less warnings and is better code in general. Added "-D_REENTRANT" to CPPFLAGS, to be able to eliminate the warnings in lex.yy.cpp. This could also be fixed if we include "ace/ACE.h" at the beginning of lex.yy.cpp, but this file is generated with flex. * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.yy: Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning, for variable "AST_Decl *v". * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll (idl_atof): Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning, for variable f and h. * TAO_IDL/include/idl.h: Added include file "ace/ACE.h". This was necessary to eliminate warnings of implicit declarations, which were because the _REENTRANT flag was not defined. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp (AST_Operation): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to eliminate warnings from the compiler. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp (fe_add_exceptions): Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning, for variable fs. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_interface.cpp (AST_Interface): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to eliminate warnings from the compiler. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (operator==): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce_value): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (compare): * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump_expr_val): Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType. These will handle a default value (i.e. the same case as AST_Expression::EV_none). Enumerations added are: AST_Expression::EV_wstring AST_Expression::EV_wchar AST_Expression::EV_longdouble AST_Expression::EV_ulonglong AST_Expression::EV_longlong * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (AST_Expression): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to eliminate warnings from the compiler. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_decl.cpp (AST_Decl): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to eliminate warnings from the compiler. Also, use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids implicit (void *) conversions warnings. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (dump): Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop, to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed" * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (compute_dims): Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop, to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed" * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (AST_Array): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to eliminate warnings from the compiler. * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_declarator.cpp (FE_Declarator): Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to eliminate warnings from the compiler. * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_main.cpp (DRV_drive): Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning. * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_recursive.cpp (AST_illegal_recursive_type): Initialized pointer variables to avoid warnings. Fri Oct 24 19:18:22 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao: Changed remaining uses of BOA to POA. * cubit_i.cpp (please_exit): Replaced the call to please_shutdown() on the POA (which no longer exists) with the shutdown() call on the ORB. * tests/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp: Removed oa_ptr->clean_shutdown (env); since this is no longer supported in TAO's POA. * tao/poa.h: Changed the get_boa() method to get_poa(). Even this will probably go away soon. Fri Oct 24 18:25:00 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO/tao/svrrqst.cpp: Method params was allocating memory even when the Any's already had memory allocated for the IN and INOUT parameters. Due to this the params would retrieve results in the allocated storage whereas the stubs/skeletons would continue to use variables that they had defined to hold the values. Fri Oct 24 17:33:21 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/poa.*: #ifdef'd out the IIOP 1.4 references to shutdown. I'm leaving them in there right now because they might be useful as private member later when we need to figure out how to get OAs to cooperate and shut themselves down in the face of an ORB shutdown. * tao/orbobj.h (shutdown): Fixed up documentation. * tao/orbobj.i (shutdown): Provided appropriate arg default. * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Eliminated unnecessary Object Adapter name from POA_init() invocation. * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit): Revised to use the new ORB::shutdown() method. * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp: Got rid of IIOP 1.4-style debug message calls. * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB::ORB_init): Corrected a heinous problem in the option parsing loop where argvec_shift() would be asked to shift two argv elements when there was only one. This could cause problems if an option that required an argument didn't include the argument. Thanks to Manojkumar Acharya for sending in a bug report that lead to my finding this! Fri Oct 24 14:08:12 Aniruddha Gokhale * Improved the compiler to make Unions work. The most subtle error was the way the private section of the class for unions was being generated. TAO's Typecode library expected the union members to be inside of a C++ union declaration inside the private section. Whereas the compiler was generating each member separately. Another source of error was bad typecode tables getting generated. This is now fixed. * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: The cubit_i.cpp for cube_union was doing wrong calculations for structs. This was due to my copy-paste tendency and not verifying if it was correct or not. This has been fixed. The README file is updated to reflect the fact that this directory contains code that uses the IDL compiler. Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.14, released Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997. Fri Oct 24 01:02:01 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * clnt.cpp: Removed mysterious obsolete definitions of cube_union_stub() and cube_union_dii(). * be_state.h: Added definitions for the methods in class be_state_attribute. For some reason, they were missing. * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added the necessary template specializations so that the TAO IDL compiler will work with GCC. Thu Oct 23 22:46:10 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO IDL Compiler: More progress in terms of getting the Cubit example to work with the IDL generated code. However, we are still finding some problems with using the client-side cubit_union_dii to work properly. Much of the improvements were to the server-side skeletons for operations. In addition, code for union constructors, assignment operator, and accessor for discriminant added. Some bugs in typecode generation are fixed. This had to do with the encapsulation length for predefined types. It was returning -1 as opposed to 0. * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added this directory with the cubit example. Use this to test the IDL compiler. The makefile will invoke the IDL compiler to create the required files. Thu Oct 23 18:34:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/*/Makefile: Fixed the Makefiles so that it has the correct files and dependencies. Thanks to Steven Wohlever for reporting this. Wed Oct 22 20:02:39 1997 Chris Cleeland * README.sun: Added an explicit reminder at the top that the information in this file is historical in nature and does not necessarily apply to current reality. * tao/orbobj.* (shutdown): Added code to the run() event loop so that it will terminate when it finds a flag set. This involved adding the flag to the ORB's state and minimally implementing the shutdown() method. The shutdown method still does not honor the "wait for completion" flag which can be passed to it, though. * README: Updated the season from "summer" to "Fall" ;-) Also added a note that warned people not to try to link TAO with a version of ACE that's linked with another ORB library, e.g., liborbix.so. Thanks to Steven Wohlever for bringing this instructional omission to our attention. * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made the body of this function conditional on the TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP preprocessor definition since it doesn't need to exist in platforms that grok the Service Configurator. This will also reduce the memory footprint :-). Thanks to David Miron for pointing this out! * tao/orb_core.cpp (TAO_ORB_Core): Removed explicit CTOR initialization of reactor_ member. Wed Oct 22 19:37:22 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO IDL Compiler: Improvements made so that the server-side skeletons for operations now generate valid code. The code generated for the Cubit.idl was compiling cleanly. It is under test currently to see if it runs. * Some progress in handling forward declarations of interfaces. Wed Oct 22 12:55:19 1997 * tao/poa.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to class CORBA_POA. * tao/TAO.{mdp,mak}: Updated files in project file. * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed boa, Orb_Core and added poa, orb_core to the project file. Tue Oct 21 17:21:51 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Updated to reflect daily progress. * tests/Cubit/TAO/Makefile: Updated dependencies. * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated to eliminate empty quotes at the end that tickled a deficiency in the Service Configurator's grammar. * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Updated to reflect POA_init change. * tests/Thruput_test/Makefile: Modified to reflect filename changes. * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: Changed type of argv so that it matched properly. * tao/boa.*: Renamed to tao/poa.*. * tao/Orb_Core.*: Renamed to tao/orb_core.*. * tao/{Makefile,corba.h,default_client.cpp,default_server.cpp,orb.h,orbobj.cpp,params.h}: Modified to reflect filename changes. Tue Oct 21 13:23:48 1997 Brian Mendel * tao/connect.i: Moved hash_i and compare_i template specialization to Orb_Core.i. Original code was left comment out until this mod is checked on all platforms. * tao/Orb_Core.i: Added hash_i and compare_i code from connect.i. Tue Oct 21 03:23:29 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/Orb_Core.cpp: Removed conditional inclusion of Orb_Core.i since, according to corba.h, it is always included as an inline function file. Tue Oct 21 02:24:14 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.13, released Tue Oct 21 02:24:14 1997. Mon Oct 20 23:42:48 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO/boa: Changed BOA_init() to POA_init() to be more consistent... * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp, tests/TAO/Thruput_test/server.cpp, tests/TAO/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp, tests/TAO/RT_test/Task_Client.cpp, tests/TAO/RT_test/cubit_impl.cpp, tests/TAO/multiCubit/cubitS.cpp, tests/TAO/multiCubit/svr.cpp, tests/TAO/Demux_Test/server.cpp, tests/TAO/Demux_Test/CodeGen/skel.cpp, tests/TAO/MT-Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp, tests/TAO/MT-Cubit/server/cubitS.cpp, tests/TAO/MT-Cubit/server/svr.cpp, tests/TAO/cubitS.cpp, tests/TAO/svr.cpp, tests/TAO/test1_svr.cpp: Changed BOA to POA to reflect the new naming conventions. * tao/stub.i (STUB_Object): Removed a stray default value from the STUB_Object constructor... Thanks to Carlos for noticing this. MOn Oct 20 10:14:09 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * Improved version of the TAO IDL compiler. The executable has been renamed to tao_idl. There are a number of improvements as well as shortcomings. These are explained in the docs/releasenotes/index.html page, which can be viewed online at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/releasenotes/. Mon Oct 20 16:30:29 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Based the arguments to the faked server service entry for VxWorks on the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE compilation flag. This should hopefully eliminate the problems Boeing was seeing in the early rounds of testing the most recent release of TAO. * tao/{iiopobj.*,giop.h}: Moved a lock that had been in TAO_GIOP_Invocation (why? I don't know) into IIOP_Object. It protects the fwd_profile_ pointer, which has now become private. Also added accessors for the data member as well as the lock. Accessors come in two flavors--thead-safe (fwd_profile()) and non-thread-safe (fwd_profile_i()). The non-thread-safe variety expect that the lock will be taken and held for the duration of their usage, but no checking is performed in this respect. * tao/giop.cpp: Changed references to the IIOP_Object::fwd_profile data member to go through the new accessors (see above). * tao/stub.i: Created new file with inline methods for STUB_Object. * tao/stub.h: Moved inline method definitions into a new file--stub.i. * tao/orbobj.cpp (BOA_init): Eliminated dead code and unused variable. * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Eliminated unused argument warning detected by gcc. * tao/corba.h: Re-ordered inclusion of Orb_Core.i to eliminate 'function used before declared inline' errors detected by gcc. * tao/{Orb_Core,boa,corbacom,orb,orbobj,svrrqst}.*: Renamed BOA to POA. * docs/releasenotes*: Moved releasenotes.html into a directory named "releasenotes" so that the various status pages can live independently. Currently only the ORB Core's status page is broken out, but the documentation should eventually turn into two frames with the one at the top acting as the guide and the lower frame being the actual status document. Fri Oct 17 17:42:27 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/releasenotes.html: Updated to reflect current status. * tao/orbobj.*: Added some documentation for open() method. * tao/roa.*: Gone. Bye-bye. Removed. Fri Oct 17 15:43:04 1997 * tao/connect.h: Added template instantiation supression directive for Win32. VC was complaining about duplicate symbols definition. Fri Oct 17 06:25:23 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/{boa,roa}.*: Merged class ROA into class CORBA_BOA. Hopefully everything still works ;-) * docs/releasenotes.html: Quick update for new TODO list. Will be updated within the next day or so with dates, too. * tao/{server_factory,orbobj,Orb_Core}.cpp: Corrected incorrect explicit template instantiations and added missing ones. Thu Oct 16 23:48:04 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.12, released Thu Oct 16 23:48:04 1997. Thu Oct 16 11:15:00 1997 Brian R. Mendel * tao/server_factory.cpp: Added instantiation pragma for VxWorks for ACE_Acceptor. Added the template to the specialization section, also. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added instantiation pragma for VxWorks for ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy and ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for ACE_Null_Mutex instantiations. Also, added these to the template specialization sections. * tests/Cubit/Build/default.bld: Added TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP to defines section of GHS build file. Tue Oct 14 21:11:20 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/xdr.h: Changed int _fd to ACE_HANDLE _fd to work on NT. Thanks to Satheesh Kumar for reporting this. Tue Oct 14 02:48:21 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.11, released Tue Oct 14 02:48:21 1997. Mon Oct 13 23:30:16 1997 * tao/connect.h: If we are using TSS, there is no reason to use locking in the connector. Therefore, I added a new typedef that defines the type of lock that should be used for the cached_connect_strategy. It is ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX in the non-TSS case, and ACE_SYNCH_NULL_MUTEX in the TSS case. Mon Oct 13 21:34:00 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/svrrqst.cpp (oa): Cleaned up the coding style a bit. Sun Oct 12 15:38:35 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/client_factory: Gutted the client factory code related to the Strategy_Connector so that it's either in the TAO_Orb_Core. * tao/default_client.h: Removed the connector() from the Default_Client_Factory entirely since it's all been put into the TAO_ORB_Core now. * tao/giop.cpp (start): Hacked up the code so that we extract our connector from thread-specific storage if we're using the thread-per-rate concurrency model. This needs to be integrated more cleverly in the ORB. * tao/orbobj.h: Put an instance of the TAO_CONNECTOR into each TAO_ORB_Core object so that we don't have to share these things among all of the threads in a process, but instead can have them be located in thread-specific storage. * tao/orbobj.cpp (perform_work): Updated the run() and perform_work() methods to take optional ACE_Time_Value *'s (so they can return from timeouts) and to return error flags if things go wrong. * tao/orbobj.h (CORBA_ORB): Changed the set_up_for_listening() call to open(), which is more consistent with other usage in ACE/TAO. * tao/orbobj: Changed the name client_acceptor_ to peer_acceptor_ to reflect the fact that the connection model is more generic than the notion of client/server interactions (which really take place as the result of particular communication roles). * tao/corba.h: Moved the order of #includes around so that "connect.h" is included before "client_factory.h" * tao/connect.h: Moved the typedef of the ACE_Strategy_Connector<> from the TAO_Client_Strategy_Factory into the global space and renamed it TAO_CONNECTOR file so that it will be equivalent with the TAO_ACCEPTOR. Thu Oct 9 23:17:37 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/giop.cpp (invoke): If an error occurs, make sure to mark the handler_ as no longer being in use before we set it to 0. * tao/giop.cpp (TAO_GIOP_Invocation): We need to make sure that handler_ isn't 0 before we mark it as no longer being in use. Thu Oct 9 11:33:46 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/giop.cpp: There was a minor sintax error. Tue Oct 07 09:34:35 1997 * tao/Orb_Core.h{cpp}: Added ACE_Svc_Export label to global TAO_ORB_Core_instance() method. Needed for DLL support on NT.i * default.bld, tao.bld: Modified VxWorks build files to add new files. Tue Oct 07 07:05:38 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.10, released Tue Oct 07 07:05:38 1997. Mon Oct 06 22:11:40 1997 * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit): * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit): Changed to use the new TAO_ORB_CORE_instance () global function. Mon Oct 6 20:06:05 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/{boa.h,connect.cpp,giop.cpp,giop.h,roa.cpp,roa.h}: Eliminated unused methods and code. * tao/Orb_Core.*: Created new global function called TAO_ORB_Core_instance() which will return the correct instance of the ORB Core state. This had previously been accessed using TAO_ORB_CORE::instance(), but Win32s linking procedures made the template for TAO_ORB_CORE expand in both the application and the library/DLL, thus creating two singletons. Bad scene. The function should force the expansion of the template to only be in the DLL. * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Changed references to TAO_ORB_CORE::instance() to TAO_ORB_Core_instance(). * tao/singletons.h: Removed definition of TAO_ORB_CORE. Sat Oct 4 20:08:57 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/TAO.{dsp,dsw}: Added tao_internals.cpp into project file list. * tao/tao_internals.h (TAO_Internal): Added ACE_Svc_Export and I d. * tao/tao_internals.i (open_services): Added default return value 0. * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Added #include "tao/tao_internals.h" and the CVS I d field. Also, we should include inline (.i) file for inline code. Fri Oct 3 09:29:05 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Changed the key naming scheme back to not be unique throughout the process. Process-unique code is still there, but conditionally compiled mutually-exclusive to the other scheme. * tao/server_factory.*: The object_lookup_strategy method is gone and is replaced by the create_object_table factor method. See more information below. * tao/default_server.*: The server factory no longer holds on to a single pointer for the object lookup strategy. In previous incarnations of TAO, this didn't cause problems, but the advent of ORB-per-thread highlighted the inherent badness in this implementation choice. Gone is the object_lookup_strategy method, and in comes the create_object_table factory method, which creates and returns (and doesn't hold onto) an object table in accordance with parameters such as size and search algorithm. * tao/roa.cpp: Changed to use the create_object_table method. Thu Oct 2 13:48:31 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Modified the key generation scheme to include thread ID. This works around a current shortcoming in the ORB Core in which the object table is shared throughout all object adapters (yes, this is being fixed). * tao/tao_internals.*: Added new class to scope static operations and data completely internal to the ORB. * tao/orbobj.{i,cpp}: Moved CORBA_ORB DTOR into cpp file. Finally got rid of icky static mutex in ORB_init(). Moved service config initialization into TAO_Internal method. * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added comments. Wed Oct 1 12:51:48 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/corbacom.h: Removed CORBA:: name resolution from the class String_out which is itself defined in class CORBA. MSVC doesn't like that. Wed Oct 1 10:44:55 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * tao/varout.h: Fixed some template errors in class TAO_Object_out. This was pointed to me by Carlos as he was compiling TAO in SGI. Wed Oct 1 09:10:38 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * docs/releasenotes.html: Updated information on the Event Channel, the use of the Naming Service is no longer a plan, it is done already. Tue Sep 30 20:14:29 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.9, released Tue Sep 30 20:14:29 1997. Tue Sep 30 19:42:09 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * Makefile: Removed "docs" from DIRS so we don't try to run make in this directory. Tue Sep 30 17:27:00 1997 Chris Cleeland * : Tagged a release for limited consumption until the Service Configurator bug is fixed. * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Added code to properly release CORBA objects. Delays between task activations simply aid in debugging and are not necessary. * tao/singletons.h: Made TAO_ORB_Core's singleton type compile-time selectable via the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE compiler flag. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected an incorrect shift count, and the ORB Core now defaults to using the host name of the local host. * tao/Orb_Core.[hi]: Added explicit CTOR. * tao/Orb_Core.cpp: Insured that the correct template type was instantiated. * tao/Makefile: Added -DTAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE to CPPFLAGS. Tue Sep 30 16:43:12 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/releasenotes.html: Added some notes on the ORB Core. Mon Sep 29 14:39:51 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/{index,components,releasenotes}.html: Added additional documentation. Mon Sep 29 13:50:34 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO ORB changes: any.*: Added _var and _out classes. corbacom.{h,i} : Added _out types for primitive types, added _out and updated _var classes for String. Added corbacom.i for implementing the String's _var and _out classes sequence.{h,i}: Added a number of templates for _var and _out classes. However, these are yet to be used and tested. * Alpha release of TAO IDL compiler added to this release. This is an alpha release and we are currently putting it to rigorous test. A large amount of code for the back end is added under the TAO/TAO_IDL/be_include and TAO/TAO_IDL/be/ directories. In addition, some amount of ACEification done to methods belonging to the TAO/TAO_IDL/utils/ classes. A few errors in the IDL grammar have been fixed in fe/idl.yy. These had to do with the valid types for parameters and operation return types. There are still some errors recognizing unions which will be fixed later. The scanner (fe/idl.l) was modified to recognize the OMG IDL data type "any". * The ChangeLog file under TAO/TAO_IDL is removed and its contents are inserted appropriately in this ChangeLog file Sun Sep 28 17:01:27 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/multiCubit: Added a multi-threaded version of Cubit. * tao/orbobj.cpp: At long last, Andy has his wish for not having to provide a "-ORBhost " argument to a server. It now uses ACE_OS::hostname() to determine the canonical hostname, and listens on that address. * tao/singletons.h: Changed the ORB Core singleton to be a TSS singleton; this will eventually be conditionally compiled in (before release). Also added comments and "safety defines". * tao/except.cpp: Changed some usage of fputs() in print_exception() to use ACE_DEBUG. Sun Sep 28 03:18:24 1997 Nanbor Wang * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.h (Object): Changed references of base class from "CORBA::Object" to "CORBA_Object." MSVC doesn't allow this. * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to TAO_Orb_Core class. * tao/corbacom.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to all IID constants. Notice that we must put ACE_Svc_Export _after_ extern "C". Sat Sep 27 09:31:42 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/Orb_Core.h: Fixed the friend declaration for CORBA::ORB_init(). * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Modified to use ORB::run() for event loop and eliminated code cruft. * tao/orbobj.*: Added stubs for 4 methods on the ORB from the POA spec: work_pending, perform_work, run, and shutdown. Of all of these, only run is reasonably implemented, and there not even according to the spec (because the way the spec works isn't really good for our purposes...need to work on that). See the docs for information. Moved the initialization of the Acceptor into its own method, set_up_for_listening (which is a one-shot style method), and placed a call to this within the aforementioned run method. * tao/default_client.h: Miscellaneous comments added. * tao/connect.cpp: Corrected an errant ACE_DEBUG () call. * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added private methods to allow setting of the orb and extended the laurel of friendship to CORBA::ORB_init(). Fri Sep 26 10:20:06 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbobj.*: Added acceptor initialization code to CORBA_ORB CTOR. (We still need to find a way to NOT do this on the client side.) Moved CORBA_ORB CTOR into .cpp to avoid nasty interdependencies caused when it was in the .i file. Moved the specification of host and port to be ORB parameters rather than OA parameters, i.e., -OAhost is now -ORBhost and -OAport is now -ORBport. * tao/roa.*: Removed server-side connection endpoint initialization (Acceptor stuff) and put it into the ORB. * tao/connect.h: Renamed ROA_Acceptor to TAO_Acceptor (since it's not related to the OA any longer), and restored explicit inclusion of ace headers to avoid having to include "corba.h". * tao/boa.h: Removed unneeded get_addr() method. * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp: Updates to support changes in ORB Core. Thu Sep 25 12:28:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/params.*: Added explicit CTOR & DTOR for TAO_{OA,ORB}_Parameters classes that somehow got removed in the previous round of attacks. Also specified all methods which go into the .i file as "LOCAL_INLINE" within the header. This avoids having to unravel ugly, complex order interdependencies. Thu Sep 25 03:48:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/Options.html: Terse documentation on options available for the abstract factories. * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added this class (TAO_ORB_Core) to hold the "state" of an ORB. The intent is that as we move towards different concurrency models, this can be thrown into thread-specific storage and remain a singleton, essentially allowing the running of an ORB-per-thread. * tao/singletons.h: Added this file to contain type definitions for *ALL* ACE_Singleton<> types used within TAO. This was motivated by a desire to eliminate the multitude of warnings generated by g++ regarding methods being called before declared inline, and the only way to eliminate this was to insure that all inlined methods were seen by the compiler before the ACE_Singleton<> definition. Thus, corba.h includes singleton.h as the very last thing that it does. * tao/params.*: TAO_OA_Parameters is no longer a singleton, and because of new recognition of associations in the object model for an ORB, lots of data members and their methods have been shuffled to other places or eliminated. addr() now belongs in TAO_ORB_Parameters, and root_poa_ is in TAO_ORB_Core. The using_threads_, thread_flags_, upcall_, and forwarder_ members have been eliminated and their roles taken over by the Concurrency Strategies and the new Dispatch call chain implemented in my last round of changes. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Changed references to the ORB singleton to go through TAO_ORB_CORE::instance(). Also eliminated an unnecessary global function (_orb()). * tao/marshal.h: Moved all ACE_Singleton<> typedefs into singleton.h. See comment on tao/corba.h for more information. * tao/iioporb.h: Removed unnecessary TAO_ORB singleton. This is now assumed by TAO_ORB_Core instances. * tao/corbacom.h: Added CORBA::POA_ptr for upward compatibility. * tao/corba.h: Added Orb_Core.[hi] to the appropriate places. Moved iiop{orb,obj}.i inclusions around and moved typedef'ing of all ACE_Singletons into singletons.h, which must be #included AFTER all the inline files. This eliminated all of the used-before-declared-inline warnings. * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,roa}.*: Updated singleton usages to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton. * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated singleton usages to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton. Wed Sep 17 12:26:56 1997 Nanbor Wang * tao/TAO.dsp: Updated source file list. Mon Sep 15 16:52:28 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated references to oa() to root_pos(). * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected some adjustments made for Service Configurator rework. * tao/giop.h: Moved the def for TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile out of the range of valid GIOP messages. * tao/connect.cpp: Added special case for TAO_GIOP_Reply to break out, and distinguished TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile from other errors by setting errno. * tao/boa.cpp: The complete reply header is now stuck into the response stream...what a novel concept! Fri Sep 12 05:40:50 1997 Chris Cleeland * params.h: Renamed oa() method to be root_poa() in preparation for the future. * orbobj.cpp: Adjusted the FAKE_SVC_ENTRY macro to catch up to recent changes in ACE. * giop.*: Major surgery including elimination of GIOP as a giant namespace (now only static methods are in it). Changed names of things to TAO_*. * {encode,decode,iiopobj,invoke,roa}.*: Name changes resulting from giop.cpp surgery. * corbacom.h: Moved TAO_opaque decl into here. * corba.h: Re-ordered the inline #includes so that the stuff that is ALWAYS inlined is included prior to the stuff that's only inlined when __ACE_INLINE__ is turned on. * connect.*: Modified handle_input() substantially. Added 3 template methods: read_message, handle_message, and send_response. * {cdr,marshal,object,typecode}.h: Removed the old "always include inlines" hackery. * boa.*: Added handle_request() method. Wed Sep 03 06:15:00 1997 Brian Mendel * tao/default_client.cpp: Added conditional sections around the code for setting the socket options for VxWorks. VxWorks does not support a 64K buffer size. Tue Sep 02 18:32:12 1997 Brian Mendel * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added include for Service_Repository.h to orbobj.h * tao/debug.cpp: Removed the TAO_NEEDS_UNUSED_VARIABLES #defines around the debug_stream declaration. debug_stream is used by dmsg_filter in debug.cpp. Changed SYSTEM_EXCEPTION to CORBA::SYSTEM_EXCEPTION. * tao/default_client.cpp: Removed extra parameter from ACE_Hash_Map_Entry #pragma instantiate statement. * tao/objtable.cpp: Deleted pragmas for instantiating ACE_Guard, ACE_Read_Guard, and ACE_Write_Guard to eliminate duplicate instantiations. Also, removed the instantiations from ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION for the same reason. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added a typecast to void * in argvec_shift method. * tao/default.bld - Modified VxWorks Build File to change template instantiation modes. * tao/tao.bld - Added default_client.cpp, default_server.cpp, client_factory.cpp, and server_factory.cpp to the VxWorks build file. * tao/tao.dsp - Added default_client.cpp, default_server.cpp, client_factory.cpp, and server_factory.cpp to the Win NT project file. Tue Sep 2 07:31:45 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): VxWorks doesn't use ACE_Service_Config for now; the default factories are used. The Service Repository is still used, but the appropriate values are "stuffed" in manually. Sat Aug 30 17:07:18 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * tests/Thruput: First attempt at ACEifying it and removing the tremendous amount of unnecessary stuff that was in there. This modified version still needs testing on other platforms. Fri Aug 29 10:59:34 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/Makefile (TAO_ROOT): FINALLY corrected the default definition of TAO_ROOT. Thu Aug 28 14:04:44 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbobj.i (CORBA_ORB): Removed assertion that was incorrect b/c our ORB object is a singleton and not dynamically allocated, thus the refcount can only reach zero at the end of its life. * tao/typecode.cpp (TC_Private_State): Relocated the delete of tc_discriminator_type_ to be after the deletion of the label list. This is because the discriminator will be inside each of the CORBA::Any instances within the label list, and deleting it before deleting the label list results in extreme badness. * tao/typecode.* (operator delete): Added CORBA_TypeCode::operator delete() to simplify deletion of both automatically and dynamically allocated instances of CORBA_TypeCode. This fixes the problem of freeing non-heap memory. * tao/nvlist.h (CORBA_NamedValue): Initialized refcount_ in the CTOR. Mon Aug 18 16:39:40 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * Makefile for TAO compiler: (SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not work on all platforms, notably HP-UX. Mon Aug 18 16:39:29 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * tao/Makefile: * tests/Demux_Test/CodeGen/Makefile: (SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not work on all platforms, notably HP-UX. Sun Aug 17 16:53:42 1997 Carlos O'Ryan * IIOP/test/Orbeline/client/Profile_Timer.h: * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.cpp: * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.h: * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.cpp: * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.h: * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.cpp: * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.h: * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.cpp: * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.h: We no longer use timestruct_t in ACE, it is a SYSVism; we use timespec_t instead. Sat Aug 16 01:11:56 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Added this as an example of an application's service config configuration file. It also serves as the documentation for various strategy factory options at the moment. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Options parsed by the ORB are now -ORBsvcconf specifies the service configurator file to be used -ORBdaemon turn this into a daemon -ORBdebug turns debugging on in the service configurator BOA_init() now sets the itself in the TAO_OA_Parameters singleton. * tao/orbobj.*: Changed client_factory(), server_factory(), and params() to return pointers rather than references. * tao/{roa,giop}.cpp: Updated code that uses the CORBA::ORB::client_factory() to deal with the fact that it now returns a pointer rather than a reference. * tao/default_server.cpp (init): This method now properly initializes the contained reactive and threaded strategies so that they're actually usable! * tao/connect.cpp: Added #endif comments. Wed Aug 13 17:42:39 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Converted to the CORBA:: namespace. * tao/default_server.h: Eliminated a few strategy accessors since they aren't provided by this implementation. * tao/default_server.cpp: Made this compile. * tao/corbacom.h: Slight reformatting of code. More importantly, added 'static' to the decl of ORB_init(). * tao/corba.h: Added fake comment to trigger C++ mode. * tao/any.h: Added #endif comments. Tue Aug 12 22:37:06 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/{any,typecode,cdr}.h: Finished appeasing the compiler gods so that we can remove the ACE_INLINE hack. Things now seem to be in order. * tao/corba.h: Got all the frigging header *.i files #included in the right order so that the GCC compiler stops complaining. * tao/giop.cpp: We had method definitions that were defined inline within the giop.h file. This was causing problems for GCC, which kept warning that methods in the cdi.i file were being used before being inlined. I've fixed this by creating a giop.i file. * tao/corba.h: Add #include files should be prefixed by "tao/". I've fixed this in the release. Tue Aug 12 16:23:17 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/any.i: Added a missing replace() method used by overloaded operators. * tao/{any,cdr}.h: Added conditional ACE_INLINE before the decl for a few methods whose usage in other inlined methods appears prior to their definition. * tao/default_client.cpp: Eliminated names of unused arguments to stop the compiler from complaining. * tao/server_factory.cpp: Properly scoped return type names for several methods. * tao/{typecode,decode,deep_copy,debug}.cpp: Bracketed unused variables with #if defined(TAO_NEEDS_UNUSED_VARIABLES)/#endif; this leaves them around for right now in case they're important. * tao/client_factory.i (connector): Properly scoped return type's name. * tao/{client_factory,default_client}.cpp: Added necessary template instantiations. * tao/{typecode,cdr}.h: Added conditional ACE_INLINE in front of inlined methods to appease the compiler gods. * tao/boa.cpp (dispatch): Declared argument unused to get rid of warnings. * tao/corbacom.h: Moved #include of sequence.h before the decl for class CORBA. Sun Aug 10 10:58:21 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/client_factory: Moved the template specializations from the *.cpp file into the *.i file in order to get this stuff to link without multiply defined symbols. Thanks to Brian Mendel for giving me the idea to do this. * tao/client_factory.cpp: Added a template specialization for ACE_Hash_Addr. Sun Aug 10 08:56:20 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * CORBA_ to CORBA:: transformation complete. All the files in the TAO/tao distribution have been affected. The most notable changes are: (1) A file called "tao/corba.h" is now the master file. All *.cpp files include *just* this file and nothing else. (2) "tao/corbacom.h" is the file that defines the CORBA namespace i.e., class CORBA. Individual CORBA classes such as TypeCode, BOA, etc are now defined inside the CORBA namespace. This will allow users and developers to use CORBA::TypeCode as opposed to the previous CORBA_TypeCode. Instead of nesting the classes, however, we use typedefs to define individual CORBA classes inside class CORBA e.g., typedef CORBA_TypeCode TypeCode; (3) All *.i files are included at the end of "tao/corba.h" and nowhere else. However, if __ACE_INLINE__ isnot defined, then each individual *.i file is not yet included in their corresponding .cpp file. This will be done next. * TAO/tests/Demux_Test: Included code that tests various demultiplexing strategies in TAO. At this point, however, the code will not work because of changes in TAO. This will be done next. A README file provides additional details. * TAO/Benchmark: A suite of benchmarking tests have been included. This is still in the preliminary stages of development. The idea is to compare various aspects of CORBA such as marshaling overhead, demux costs, throughput, latency, and others for a range of ORBs including TAO. Since there are differences in programming different ORBs, this suite tries to abstract out all the common features or atleast provide a uniform interface so that minimal efforts are required to port an application from one ORB to another. Benchmark/benchmark: This directory contains thecommon features Benchmark/Marshal_Test: Tests marshaling overhead in 3 ORBs - Orbix, VisiBroker, and TAO. More will be added. There are a few problems getting DSI to work. The tech support at IONA and VisiBroker have been contacted. Sat Aug 9 14:05:08 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao: Continued to clean up all the code so that it is more consistent with ACE programming style. * tao/orbconf.h: Cleaned up a lot of the unnecessary #defines. * tao/default_server.h: Make sure we inherit from TAO_Server_Strategy_Factory, not TAO_Server_Factory. * tao/server_factory.cpp: Moved all the inline methods to be non-inline since this code will always be dynamically bound. * tao/client_factory.cpp: Cleaned things up a bit. Sat Aug 9 12:37:05 1997 Brian Mendel * tao/corba.h: Deleted include for xdr.h from corba.h. xdr.h is obsolete. * tao/objtable.cpp: Deleted pragmas for instantiating ACE_Guard, ACE_Read_Guard, and ACE_Write_Guard to eliminate duplicate instantiations. The templates are instantiated by ACE. Can these templates also be removed from the ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION section as well? * tao/default.bld: Added build file for VxWorks. * tao/tao.bld: Added build file for VxWorks. Fri Aug 8 14:25:20 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/orbobj.*: Updated various methods to use the new dynamically-linked strategy factories discussed below. * tao/default_client.*: This file now contains the default client strategy factory which is (a) dynamically linkable by the service configurator and (b) can be configured by flags passed in via service configurator. * tao/client_factory.*: This file now contains the abstract base class for the client strategy factory. * tao/default_server.*: This file now contains the default server strategy factory which is (a) dynamically linkable by the service configurator and (b) can be configured by flags passed in via service configurator. * tao/server_factory.*: This file now contains the abstract base class for the server strategy factory. * tao/params.*: Renamed DEMUX_STRATEGY enum to TAO_Demux_Strategy and put it at global scope instead of within TAO_OA_Parameters. * tao/svc.conf.eg: Created this file to serve as an example of various lines one might find in an application's svc.conf. Thu Aug 7 09:51:31 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * factories.cpp: Incorrect use of ACE_ASSERT in TAO_Server_Factory::object_lookup_strategy removed. * objtable.cpp: The octet sequence object key was being cast into a char* resulting in undefined behavior at times due to the lack of a NULL character to terminate it. Changes were made in the bind and find methods of TAO_Active_Demux_Table. Thu Aug 07 03:52:31 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.8, released Thu Aug 07 03:52:31 1997. Thu Aug 7 00:43:14 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/typecode.cpp: A couple of errors involving TAO_CONST crept in when Brian checked in his code. I fixed these. Wed Aug 6 18:28:41 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp (main): Corrected the format specifications when timing was printing out from %ld to %d. For some reason this never caused a problem on other platforms. Wed Aug 6 17:27:44 1997 Brian R. Mendel * tao/typecode.h: Removed qualified name in typecode.h to eliminate compiler warnings by the GHS compiler. Line 297. * tao/decode.cpp: Changed wchar_t* to CORBA_WChar* to eliminate compiler errors on GHS compiler. Lines 142, 216, 729, 1371, and 1475. * tao/typecode.cpp: Deleted unreachable break statements at lines 429, and 477, 904, and 947. Wed Aug 6 16:31:29 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/*: Changed 'const' to 'TAO_CONST' in contexts where the const didn't make sense. For example, this occurred in situations where methods declared their return type as 'const CORBA_String', which does not translate to 'const char*' but rather 'char* const'. * tao/corbacom.h: Added #define for TAO_CONST. See above for explanation. * tao/{connect,factories,giop,iiopobj,marshal,objtable, optable,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Removed errant trailing semi-colon on all the #pragma instantiate directives. Wed Aug 6 13:56:40 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/{connect,factories,giop,iiopobj,marshal,objtable, optable,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Changed explicit template instantiations to use the new ACE enabling macro as well as adding the #pragma instantiate to placate Edison Design Group compilers. * tao/cdr.h: Changed default for CDR CTOR marshal factory to reflect the new name of the default marshal factory variable. * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB_init): Inserted call to TAO_Marshal::initialize(). * tao/marshal.*: Added TAO_Marshal class to scope static initialization methods for the marshalling engine. TAO_DEFAULT_MARSHAL_FACTORY has moved inside of this. Sun Aug 3 13:12:03 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Cubit/TAO: Continued to improve the formatting of these tests. Sat Aug 2 13:55:40 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Cubit/TAO: Cleaned up some of the formatting so that it is easier to read. Thu Jul 31 16:19:43 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/corba.h: Removed incorrect #include "tao/corba.h" in this file. Bad form. Thu Jul 31 15:19:43 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/*.{h,i,cpp}: Changed all #include of specific header files to include the application-level "tao/corba.h". * tests/Cubit/TAO/Makefile (BIN): Removed test1_svr and test1_clnt for now until we can get them working again. They stopped working after the BOA API changed and the non-standard get_request() method removed. * tao/any.h: Inserted #includes which insure that this header file is not position-dependent on other header files. * tao/corba.h: Created this catch-all header file for APPLICATIONS to use as a single entry point. Currently it just includes all TAO header files, but will eventually be pared down to only those headers which warrant public exposure. Wed Jul 30 16:55:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/typecode.i (CORBA_TypeCode): Re-ordered member initialization to correspond to declaration order. * tao/{typecode,orbobj,optable,decode,cdr}.cpp: Added explicit typecast to CORBA_ULong/unsigned long to eliminate warnings about comparisons btw. signed and unsigned entities. * tao/optable.cpp (bind): Put in explicit return type for TAO_Active_Demux_OpTable::bind(). Wed Jul 30 14:18:02 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/Makefile: Corrected automatic definition of TAO_ROOT and fixed all dependencies on tao header/inline files. * tao/{typecode,object}.i: Moved a few methods to the beginning of the file so that the compiler KNOWS that they are inlined when it hits the first reference to them later in the file. * tao/object.cpp: Added an end-of-line to silence a very picky SGI compiler. Wed Jul 30 10:05:38 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/connect.cpp: Removed a number of explicit template instantiations that are already included in ACE. Wed Jul 30 14:20:18 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/boa.{i,h,cpp}: Removed the #include of "tao/objtable.h" and instead moved the methods that needed it from boa.i to boa.cpp Wed Jul 30 13:58:02 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/boa.h: Added #include of "tao/objtable.h" since it is needed in boa.i (which is included here when inlining is turned on) Wed Jul 30 10:05:38 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/boa.h: Removed the #include of "tao/objtable.h" which seems to be unnecessary and may cause problems for template specialization. * tao/iiopobj.i (IIOP_Object): Changed the second parameter to the IIOP_Object constructor so that we can is a const IIOP::ProfileBody &. This prevents a compiler warning. * tao/typecode.cpp (private_id): Removed unused variable status. * tao/objtable.cpp (bind): Removed the temp variable, which was unused. Tue Jul 29 19:31:11 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/boa.cpp (get_boa): Added casts of ACE_UINT32 so that we don't have ambiguous calls to the constructor of ACE_INET_Addr. * tao/deep_copy.cpp (deep_copy): Removed an unreachable return value. Mon Jul 21 15:08:36 1997 Chris Cleeland * TAO version 0.0.7, released Mon Jul 21 15:08:36 1997. Mon Jul 21 12:06:16 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/object.cpp: removed the #include of object.i since it will always be #included in object.h Thu Jul 17 16:54:38 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.6, released Thu Jul 17 16:54:38 1997. Thu Jul 17 16:43:23 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/{optable,objtable}.cpp: Updated the explicit template instantiations at the end of these files to reflect the changes that Andy made. Thu Jul 17 10:08:45 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * tao/align.h: A very subtle error in "align_binary" was corrected. I was assuming that align_binary is always called by "ptr_align_binary". In the original inline function versions of align_binary and ptr_align_binary, the function align_binary would subtract 1 from the specified alignment that ptr_align_binary provided. Since I assumed that "align_binary" would always be called by "ptr_align_binary", I subtracted the 1 in ptr_align_binary and passed the result to "align_binary". This caused all sorts of problems for application code that directly called "align_binary". This error has been fixed. The macros for align_binary and ptr_align_binary are now exactly as the original inline functions. * tao/any.{h,cpp}: Added comments. In addition, in the code for Any::replace, we check if "_value" exists before trying to DEEP_FREE it. Otherwise this was resulting in a segmentation fault violation. * tao/boa.{h,i}: Added comments and changed "release" to CORBA_release * tao/cdr.{h,cpp}: Added some comments and removed some stuff that was under #if 0 .. #endif * tao/corbacom.h: Added lots of comments for the CORBA_String_var class * tao/decode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::decode to work, added comments. * tao/encode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::encode to work, added comments. * tao/factories.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Removed "void object_lookup_strategy" method since we do this in the parameters class. Added code that will use a user defined lookup strategy if the corresponding flag is set. This needs to be tested. * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: In the allocation and deallocation of the buffer for object key, we now use "new/delete" instead of "malloc/free". * tao/interp.cpp: commented out a line that decremented 4 from the offset provided for indirected typecodes. I guess this was plain hack to get some broken things to work. * tao/objtable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added code that will use template specialization for the dynamic hashing case. In addition, improved the destructors of the classes since previously, these were not releasing occupied memory. * tao/optable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added template specialization for dynamic hashing scheme. Made dynamic hashing scheme the default. Added a new definition for "struct TAO_operation_db_entry". The idea is that an IDL compiler will generate a database of operations and their corresponding skel_ptrs. Such a database is now passed to teh constructors of the operation lookup tables. This way, only one instance of such lookup tables can be shared by any number of objects implementing the same interface. * tao/params.{h,i,cpp}: Made dynamic hashing the default. Added a hook by which users can supply their lookup strategies. *Needs testing*. * tao/typecode.{h,i,cpp}: Added comments and many changes. The private state's constructor now takes an argument that is a TCKind representing the TypeCode kind of the object of which we are the private state. Removed "child_free". Instead, we introduced a destructor for the private state that frees all the children. Another important change is to the constructor of the TypeCode class. We pass a "parent" pointer, if any, to the constructor. All children typecodes will share the octet buffer of the parent. Only freestanding typecodes will allocate octet buffers. We have a new data member called "non_aligned_buffer_" because the buffer we allocate may not be aligned on a 4 byte boundary. As a result, we may start using the buffer at a shifted position to the right. However, we do not want to lose a handle to the original buffer that was allocated because at the time of freeing, this pointer needs to be freed. * tests/Cubit/TAO: Modified a few files (method_db.i, cubitS.cpp) so that they use the modified optable and objtable classes. Added a README file to indicate how to run the example. * tests/Thruput_test: Modified virtually all the files to make it work with the latest TAO release and its include files. Also, changes similar to Cubit were necessary due to changes in the objtable and optable classes. Wed Jul 16 14:17:01 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/params.*: Eliminated unnecessary ACE_LACKS_STATIC_DATA_MEMBER_TEMPLATES checks from TAO_OA_Parameters (unnecessary b/c it's not a template). Also corrected the type of TAO_OA_Parameters::ace_singleton_lock_. Wed Jul 16 11:34:36 1997 Chris Cleeland * tao/boa.cpp: Removed some unused code. * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added explicit check for prior inclusion of ace/OS.h, with an error being produced if it's not included. This will help keep me honest and remember to always include OS.h beforehand, since I do most of my development on non-WIN32 platforms. * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Added #include "ace/OS.h" before every inclusion of . This is required on WIN32 platforms because objbase.h eventually ends up including , which is the wrong version of winsock from what ACE requires. Thus, by including OS.h prior to objbase.h, objbase.h ends up not trying to include a winsock header. * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added missing #include for tao/debug.h. Wed Jul 16 10:55:55 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/PC_Install.bat: removed it since it isn't needed anymore * tao/TAO.dsp: Changed include path and removed calling of PC_Install.bat * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: Changed include path Tue Jul 15 16:13:53 1997 Chris Cleeland * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.cpp: Added missing calls to Release() after QueryInterface() calls. The tip-off that this wasn't happening was the fact that, upon client exit, there were upwards of 15 references to the object references. Now it's only 5-7 (more work to go). * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...". Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header inclusion in certain files. * tao/compat/*.h: Changed the guts of these files so that they work more like their "real" counterparts in the VC++ 5.0. This should encourage compatibility. Note that, unlike the previous files, objbase.h MUST be included before initguid.h; this is consistent with the model on WIN32. * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...". Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header inclusion in certain files. * tao/giop.cpp: Removed get_request() crufty old code. * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Backed out many prior special-code additions for defining IIDs. Hopefully the need for these is negated by changes elsewhere in the "compat" files. * tao/object.cpp: Corrected the conditional compilation switch used to determine if we define IID_IUnknown. This now happens whenever WIN32 isn't defined, instead of before when it was only on unix or vxworks platforms. * tao/Makefile: Eliminated the need to copy files into a "proto/" directory; now, everything is built into and used from the "tao" directory. There is also a new, optional, environment variable--TAO_ROOT--which should be set to the ".../TAO" directory. If it's not set, the Makefile will set it to WRAPPER_ROOT/TAO. Lastly, libcorba.* has changed to libTAO.*. * tao/orb.h: Eliminated many header files which had been explicitly included here and were causing all manner of problems with circular includes. Library components must now be careful to include appropriate headers for all components they use, and we will likely have to create a corba.h file for clients to use. Fri Jul 11 12:12:40 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/TAO.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll in the release version * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll and tao-r.dll for the release versions. Thu Jul 10 15:47:24 1997 Chris Cleeland * docs/: Removed the following obsolete files: README.apm, BUILDING, and TESTS. * tao/params.*: Moved the instance() methods into the .cpp from the .i, as well as the declaration for the singleton locks. Having the singleton locks declared in the .i file caused much consternation when ACE inlining was turned on. * tao/iiopobj.cpp: #ifdef'd the IID_STUB_Object declaration added a few days ago so that it happens one way on NT, and another in the rest of the Universe. I would have preferred to find a more general solution, but didn't find one quickly enough to satisfy my current requirements. * tao/roa.*: Removed get_request() method. This should improve our McCabe scores ;-) * tao/boa.h: Removed get_request() method. Wed Jul 9 14:44:31 1997 Darrell Brunsch * TAO-Install: Added installation instructions for NT Tue Jul 8 20:52:06 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/PC_Install.bat: Made it very quiet. * tao/params.{cpp,h,i}: Changed TAO_OA_PARAMS from a ACE_Singleton to a plain singleton by just integrating the ACE_Singleton code into the class. Tue Jul 8 14:27:47 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/except.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to SYSEX macro * tao/iiopobj.cpp: changed declaration of IID_STUB_Object to include ACE_Svc_Export * tao/stub.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to IID_STUB_Object Tue Jul 8 12:44:14 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/orbobj.cpp: Put the "*" in before the comment since it is supposed to be there. Put a space between it and the comment to get rid of the warning which VC was giving originally. Tue Jul 8 10:21:27 1997 Darrell Brunsch * tao/typecode.cpp: Changed a few loop counters from int to CORBA_ULong to get rid of unsigned/signed comparison warnings * tao/orbobj.cpp: Got rid of a "*" before a comment. Looked like a typo * tao/PC_Install.bat: Replaced "#...." with "rem ...." Mon Jul 7 20:59:05 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_{svr,clnt}.cpp (main): Added template specialization code and updated the formatting. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_svr.cpp (main): Added the -i options to getopt(). Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. * TAO/tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Added a #define for M_UNIX. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.5, released Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997. Sun Jul 6 00:10:28 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao: Fixed all the code so that we put ACE_MT around all the ACE_GUARD_RETURN macros. * tao: Updated all of TAO to make sure we use [] when deleting arrays in order to avoid memory leaks. This looks like lots of sloppiness left over from the original SunSoft IIOP code. Sat Jul 5 16:12:31 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/{any,iiopobj,nvlist,principa,request,roa,svrrqst,typecode}.cpp: Fixed a double-deletion of a lock. * tao/typecode.i: Cleaned up lots of minor warnings with the code that are only revealed when running GCC. The code should now compile almost completely cleanly with -wall. * tao/typecode.{i,h}: Changed the name of TC_PRV_State to TC_Private_State. * tao: Replaced ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX so that the code will compile on non-threaded and threaded platforms alike. * tao/marshal.cpp: Added template specializations for the Marshal primitives. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. * tao/Makefile (LDLIBS): Replaced -lcorba with -lACE so that we no longer have problems with circular link dependencies. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO version 0.0.4, released Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997. Sat Jul 5 12:39:57 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao: All throughout TAO I removed the direct use of system include files in lieu of using ace/OS.h. * tao/{orbobj,typecode}.cpp: orb.h must be included before others include files. Previous includes prevent correct use of ACE config flags, therefore, I removed them. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. * tao/{debug,roa}.cpp: changed _POSIX_THREADS to ACE_HAS_PTHREADS. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. * tao/decode.cpp (decode): The casting (CORBA_ULong) kind is unnessary and wrong so I removed it. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. * tao/debug.cpp (emit_prefix): Changed line 99 from #define emit_prefix (stream) ... to #define emit_prefix(stream) ... The blank character prevent after macro name (emit_prefix) prevent correct definition. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. Sat Jul 5 01:04:24 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * TAO/tao/xdr.cpp: Removed unistd.h and string.h from the xdr.cpp file since those aren't necessary. Thanks to Arturo Montes for reporting this. Fri Jul 4 00:18:21 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * tao/roa.h: Removed derogatory COMments ;-). Thanks to Anton van Straaten for reporting this. Thu Jul 3 16:16:14 1997 Darrell Brunsch * Added ACE_Svc_Export to a couple of declarations to make NT happier Thu Jul 3 13:43:20 1997 Darrell Brunsch * Added Visual C++ 5.0 project and workspace files for the TAO library and Cubit test Wed Jul 2 12:44:42 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * TAO/tests: Moved tests from TAO/IIOP/tests to TAO/tests Wed Jul 02 00:20:28 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * Compiled the first alpha release of TAO on Solaris just to make sure it still works. So far, so good... hence, the first alpha release is out the door! Tue Jul 1 23:35:53 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * VERSION: Added a VERSION file, starting at version 0.0.0... Tue Jul 1 23:00:15 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * Added a new tests directory with the Cubit and TTCP examples. The older test directory will be deleted soon. In addition, the tc_constants in the tc_constants.cpp file are declared with an ACE_Svc_Export to make the Win NT compiler happy. Extern declarations in typecode.h had the same changes. * Updated the PC_install.bat file. In addition, there was one more warning in typecode.cpp (Win NT compiler) that was fixed. Finally, in the the tc_const.cpp file, the ACE_Svc_Export was used accidently. This has been fixed. * A number of files were updated with ACE_Svc_Export so that variables and classes do not remain unresolved for Win32 platform. Similarly, Irfan had sent me a list of warnings that the Win NT compiler was giving. These are fixed. * marshal.*: Changed the way make_marshal_object works. Instead of having a switch statement, we index into a private table of marshal objects using the TypeCode _kind field. MarshalFactory now maintains this private table. Mon Jun 30 17:39:02 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * Added a new README file and a COPYING file that explains the contents of TAO and clarifies its copyright status. Sun Jun 29 10:06:50 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * marshal.*: Added CORBA_Environment as a parameter to make_marshal_object factory method. The reason for doing this was to enable inlining of the CDR::encode and CDR::decode methods. * typecode.*: Changed the way typecodes get deleted. Constant typecodes are now owned by the ORB and their private state freed when the ORB dies. IDL generated typecodes are not owned by the ORB and are the only ones whose refcount matters. Typecodes belonging to the IDL generated typecodes are also not owned by the ORB and there is no effect on their refcount. They get freed only if the parent is destroying itself. In typecode.i, methods such as length and content_type were not getting inlined due to presence of switch statements. Converted to if/else. * interp.cpp: Bug fix: Had previously forgotten to update the size/alignment of the private state of the typecode. Fri Jun 27 14:27:49 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * any.cpp: The deep_copy and deep_free optimizations applied. In the previous release, I had forgotten to add these to the Any constructor (that calls deep_copy) and Any destructor/replace (that call deep_free). * connect.cp, factories.cpp: Added code that hardcodes the socket buffer sizes to 64K. This is a hack for the time being. Thu Jun 26 10:02:47 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * Some more progress on IDL compiler. Generates the client and server side files without much contents in it. Thu Jun 26 09:49:38 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * Added a full range of optimizations to the TAO IIOP interpretive marshaling engine. The static methods encoder and decoder have been removed from the CDR class. Instead, separate classes for marshaling have been created for each individual data type. The CDR stream maintains a factory that returns an appropriate marshaling object depending on the data type to be marshaled. Files added include marshal.h, marshal.i, encode.cpp, decode.cpp, deep_free.cpp, and deep_copy.cpp. The marshal.h file defines classes for an abstract MarshalObject. The factory is responsible to return a concrete specialized instance of the MarshalObject. * Updated the CORBA_TypeCode class so that it now provides all the CORBA_2.0 compliant operations. These include length(), content_type(), member_type(), member_label(), discriminant_type(), id(), default_index(). The equal() operations is still not implemented. In addition, precomputation optimizations are applied to the TypeCode class. This includes precomputing various parameters (if any) of a TypeCode. For example, a struct TypeCode keeps track of the member count and member types. As a result, it is not necessary to interpret the CDR encapsulated stream to retrieve these parameters. * At this time, there are some problems getting the Unions to work. Thu Jun 12 15:45:49 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Added explicit template instantiations for ACE_Hash_Map_Manager<>. * IIOP/lib/giop.*: Finally got rid of all those methods that took ACE_HANDLE as the argument. Now, all those operate on ACE_SOCK_Streams. Thu Jun 5 10:15:21 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Corrected output format in error message. Thu Jun 5 10:09:01 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added a new class to catch SIGINT and terminate. This was necessary to Quantify the server process. * IIOP/lib/orbobj.h: Added ACE_INLINE to forward decls of CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil(). Wed May 23 14:39:01 1997 Brian Mendel * IIOP/lib/objtable.{h,cpp}: Added template specialization of ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for char*'s. * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp: Fixed type_id to be of type CORBA_String_var. Also, added a debug msg to print the object address to show the object for which the request is made. * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added capability to create multiple Cubit objects via command line options. Added -n for number of objects and -k for specifying a base name. For instance, -k Beevis -n 2 creates Beevis1 and Beevis2 objects. The clnt can then specify a specific object for the request as usual. Wed May 22 12:28:45 1997 Brian Mendel * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Deleted VxWorks specific sections. Command line is now working for VxWorks. * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Deleted VxWOrks specific sections. Command line is now working for VxWorks. Wed May 22 11:31:42 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added better error checking and messages, and performed general re-formatting. * IIOP/test/method_db.i (initialize_method_db): Changed arg type to use a pointer to the abstract class TAO_Operation_Table. * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit::_skel_Cubit): Added better error checking and messages. Also defaulted to use the linear object table implementation rather than the hashed to simplify debugging. * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved some code around so that more of the code is common is less is specific to VxWorks and other platforms. Also did general re-formatting. * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable::find): Initialization of the loop variable makes the loop work properly. * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp (TAO_Dynamic_Hash_ObjTable::find): Explicitly specified length of object key in CTOR for ACE_CString because object keys are not zero-terminated. * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added newlines to the end of all ACE_DEBUG() messages. * IIOP/lib/factories.cpp: Added template specializations for ACE_Hash_Addr. Tue May 22 09:32:41 1997 Brian Mendel * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Deleted #define old_value ACE_INLINE and #define ACE_INLINE old_value lines. Added #undefs for ACE_INLINE prior to redefines. Changes required to compile on Windows NT. Tue May 20 14:47:46 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/cubitS.h: Removed forward decl of TAO_Active_Operation_Table. * IIOP/test/{cubitC,cubitS}.*: Changed include quoting characters from [<>] to double-quotes. * IIOP/test/Makefile: Removed cubit.o from clnt and svr target (this has been subsumed by cubit[CS]). * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Changed ACE_RW_Mutex to ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX. * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Inserted explicit template instantiations. * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added optable to the Makefile. * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Moved ~TAO_Operation_Table() into here. * IIOP/lib/object.i: Moved find() and bind() into the cpp file. Moved ~TAO_Operation_Table() into optable.cpp. Tue May 20 14:39:00 1997 Brian Mendel * IIOP/test/*: Commited changes to Cubit Example as a current snapshot of required changes. * IIOP/lib/*: Changes required for header file includes. Added conditionals around _IIOP_BUILD_ Tue May 20 13:55:58 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/*: Commited this stuff in-process so that Brian M. doesn't have to duplicate effort. Tue May 20 13:04:00 1997 Brian Mendel * IIOP/lib/debug.cpp: Deleted spaces between flockfile (f) and funlockfile (f). Changed instances of debug_filter to TAO_debug_filter. Deleted space between emit_prefix (stream). * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp Added undef(s) for ACE_INLINE and do_undef_on_ACE_INLINE to eliminate redefinition problems. Tue May 20 10:55:09 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Fixed the automatic inclusion of cdr.i into cdr.h by checking to see if __ACE_INLINE__ is not defined and, if so, defining ACE_INLINE to be "inline" (we tidy up the namespace immediately after the inclusion of cdr.i, too). See source for comments regarding why this is done. * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable_Entry): Removed setting of opname and skel_ptr to zero in CTOR since the CTOR for those already insures this. Moreover, NT's compiler was complaining about ambiguous resolutions. * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,giop,debug,boa}.cpp: Fixed reference to debug_level so it's TAO_debug_level. * IIOP/lib/object.h: Replaced inclusion of optable.h with forward decl of TAO_Operation_Table. * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Fixed names of methods that were changed in the header but never changed in the source. Amazing that neither g++ nor Sun C++ caught these gaffs! (Finally, the NT compiler wins). * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,object}.h: Changed the forward decls of CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil() so that they are only in effect when inlining is NOT being used. * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Fixed incorrect passing of an object to ACE_DEBUG() where an int is expected. Mon May 19 17:16:34 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Explicit cast rids us of a warning. * IIOP/lib/params.h: Fixed CTOR name. Once again I'm surprised G++ didn't catch this. * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Corrected erroneous method signature on bind(). * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Corrected erroneous method signature on TAO_Linear_ObjTable::bind(). * IIOP/lib/{object,orbobj}.h: Forward declaration of CORBA_release(CORBA_Object_ptr) and CORBA_is_nil(CORBA_Object_ptr) were commented out. I think this will cause a problem when we DON'T inline, but I'll cross that bridge later. * IIOP/lib/{orb,factories}.h: Made inclusion of some headers conditional on the compilation phase (building the library or an application). * IIOP/lib/cdr.i: Removed incorrect default arguments (g++ didn't catch them). * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Removed thread from the header list. Mon May 19 10:07:00 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Changed implementation of the operation table and the parameters repository so that they use the right class names. Sat May 17 17:18:38 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * First pass at providing a backend to the SunSoft's CORBA IDL compiler front end. Fri May 16 17:30:31 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Corrected some comments, adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names, and moved short methods into a new inline file. * IIOP/lib/stub.h: Corrected some comments and adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names. * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Corrected syntax error and fixed up typedef. * IIOP/lib/params.*: Removed extraneous comments and fixed argument type on demux_strategy(). * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Added comments, removed static pointer to the ORB. * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Removed extraneous comments and fixed typedefs. * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Fixed some syntax errors introduced by reformating. * IIOP/lib/object.cpp: Adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names. * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Removed crufty #includes and adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names. * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Moved short methods into inline file, added IIOP_ORB_ptr typedef, and changed data member to conform to ace standards. * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Added the second CTOR that I forgot last time and adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names. * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Added comments for various enums and structures. * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Switched various GIOP::Invocation methods to use handler_->peer() for socket communication rather than going through a file descriptor. Also began the arduous (no other word could explain it!) process of converting the homegrown debugging message macro uses into ACE_DEBUG() uses. * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Added explicit DTOR for TAO_Client_Factory and completed all the darn explicit template instantiations. Changed 'Svc_Handler' to 'TAO_Client_Connection_Handler', and added the forgotton TAO_Client_Factory::connector() method. * IIOP/lib/debug.*: Added 'TAO_' prefix to global debug state variables and removed crufty #includes. * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Change ROA_Handler to TOA_OA_Connection_Handler (missed these the last time through). * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp: Added responsive commentary. * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added comments to the dispatching code. * IIOP/lib/{any,boa,request,typecode}.cpp: Removed references to thread.h/connmgr.*. Thu May 15 19:08:16 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * Finished updating all the reformatting. Thu May 15 15:54:49 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/principa.h: Corrected syntax error which eliminated the _refcount data member. * IIOP/lib/{params,roa}.*: Updated class names to reflect ROA --> TOA_OA pseudo-namespace change. * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Updated CORBA_ORB_init() to return pointer to new ORB singleton. * IIOP/lib/orb.h: Commented out some include files to eliminate wierd circular dependencies. * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Moved TAP_Operation_Table into here. Put OpTable* classes into the TAO_Operation_Table* pseudo-namespace. * IIOP/lib/objtable.*: Moved TAO_Object_Table into here. Moved the Entry classes out of the scope of their respective concrete operation tables, so they're now named _Entry. * IIOP/lib/object.*: Moved TAO_Operation_Table into optable.*, and added a data member which carries a pointer to the ORB with which the object is associated. * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Added a singleton typedef for the ORB which is what CORBA_ORB_init() will now return. Modified string_to_object() so that it sets the ORB on the CORBA_Object that it returns. * IIOP/lib/{iiopobj,nvlist}.h: Added some responsive commentary. * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Modified connection establishment code in GIOP::Invocation::start() to utilize the client connection manager in the ORB. * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Put a TAO_Client_Connection_Handler* into GIOP::Invocation in place of the client_endpoint. * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Updated explicit template instantiations, added TAO_Client_Connection_Handler. * IIOP/lib/connect.*: Renamed things--ROA_Parameters --> TOA_OA_Parameters, ROA_Handler --> TOA_OA_Connection_Handler. * IIOP/lib/boa.h: Moved TAO_Object_Table into objtable.*, added comments where appropriate. * IIOP/lib/{any,cdr,iioporb,invoke}.*: Re-formatting and creation of inline method file. Tue May 13 21:51:22 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * Continued to update the format of the TAO source code so that it will be consistent with the style used in ACE. Mon May 12 17:02:29 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Moved short method into an inline file. Miscellaneous reformatting. Adjustment to new type names (prefaced by TAO_ for namespace protection). * IIOP/lib/object.*: Moved short methods into an inline file. Changed lookup()/register_op() to find()/bind() for consistency with established ACE APIs. Miscellaneous reformatting. * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Moved short methods into an inline file. Added CTOR for IIOP::Version and IIOP::ProfileBody. Added convenience CTOR for IIOP_Object where the profile can be supplied. Miscellaneous reformatting. * IIOP/lib/boa.*: Moved short methods into an inline file. Changed lookup()/register_obj() to find()/bind() for consistency with established ACE APIs. * headers: Added comments to force C++ mode in emacs for header files, and changed SCCS version tag info to RCS version tag info. Wed May 7 14:49:46 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: Some bugs from the CORBA_String_var class have been fixed. Thanks to Brian Mendel for noticing these. * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: In CORBA_BOA::dispatch, the opname local variable of type CORBA_String_var is changed to be of type CORBA_String. This was because the String_var class would assume ownership of the quantity assigned and delete it. Thanks again to Brian Mendel for noticing this. Tue May 6 14:06:49 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: the register_obj's 2nd argument is changed from CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr * IIOP/lib/object.hh: the return type for register_op method on CORBA_Object is changed from void to int to be consistent. Added a new method "get_subclass" to CORBA_Object that returns a pointer to the subclass. Typeically, this would be pointer to an object that implements an interface. * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: @nd argument of register_obj changed from CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr. * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: the type signature of "skeleton" is changed to take CORBA_Object_ptr rather than CORBA_Object_ptr& as its 2nd argument. Mon May 5 20:28:54 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: commented out code that uses the "void *context" field. It doesn't make any sense to have it. * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: Added 2 pure virtual methods (shutting_down and clean_shutdown). In addition, the "register_obj" method was added. It was missing before. * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: String_var's constructor bug is fixed. It was trying to free storage that was never allocated. * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that retrieves the object name. * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that retrieves the object's name or key. This is for debugging purposes. * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: There was an infinite loop in parsing the options to BOA_init. Fixed. * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Added the "get_name" virtual method. Sat May 3 22:45:23 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added code temporarily that invokes the skeleton that is looked up. We still need to add code that will handle the case when no match is found on the operation names. * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: The register_obj method on TAO_Object_Table now returns an integer indicating status of registering (-1 => failure, 0 for success). * IIOP/lib/object.hh: The register_op method on TAO_Operation_Table now returns an integer code (O for success, -1 for failure). * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: The register_obj method returns an integer code representing either success or failure. * IIOP/lib/optable.{hh,cpp}: Added new files that implement concrete strategies for operation name lookup. Fri May 2 08:48:29 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Modified the signature of register_op on TAO_Operation_Table to take a second argument to be a pointer to the actual skeleton. Thanks to Brian Mendel for reporting this. Thu May 1 16:46:11 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method that can set the parent pointer. * IIOP/lib/params.cpp: A hook has been provided in ROA_Factory to enable the user to use a user-defined demux strategy. Wed Apr 30 22:00:51 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: Added two new files that define different object demultiplexing strategies. * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added objtable as additional source file to compile. * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the TAO_Object_Table. * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the TAO_Operation_Table. * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: Added support for the -OAtablesize option in the call to CORBA_ORB::BOA_init method. * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support to ROA_Factory to return a specific object lookup strategy. *IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: The ROA constructor initializes its "objtable_" private data member with the object lookup strategy returned by ROA factory. Tue Apr 29 11:52:48 1997 Aniruddha Gokhale * IIOP/lib/any.hh: Moved CORBA_Any_ptr declaration to orb.hh. * IIOP/lib/boa.{hh,cpp}: Renamed BOA to CORBA_BOA. The CORBA_BOA class maintains a pointer to an abstract TAO_ObjectTable class. Concrete classes inheriting from TAO_ObjectTable will provide strategies for lookup. Added virtual functions to do dispatch based on object key. In addition, added a lookup method based on object key that delegates the task of looking the object to the object table it maintains. Changed the signature of typedef CORBA_BOA::dsi_handler to be pointer to member function of class CORBA_BOA. Eventually, this will point to the dispatch method of class CORBA_BOA. Moved "struct Dispatch_Context" from roa.hh to boa.hh since we want BOA to be a full fledged OA eventually and not remain an abstract class as it is now. All other OA's such as ROA inherit from BOA and only add extra functionality. * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: There was a syntax error (missing comma) in one of the ACE_DEBUG statements which has been fixed. * IIOP/lib/corbacom.{hh,cpp}: Added class CORBA_String_var as well as the CORBA compliant CORBA_string_dup. * IIOP/lib/except.hh: Moved CORBA_Exception_ptr declaration to orb.hh. * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Added an abstract class TAO_Operation_Table. CORBA_Object maintains a pointer to this abstract class. The IDL compiler will eventually generate concrete classes that employ different lookup strategies for operation name lookup. * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: Added forward declarations to all CORBA_* classes. In addition, moved all the CORBA_*_ptr declarations here. * IIOP/lib/orbobj.{hh,cpp}: Added the CORBA compliant BOA_init method to class CORBA_ORB. Users can now pass arguments to BOA_init. Eventually, we want to make this method return any of the specialized OA's depending on the arguments. Right now, we get a pointer to the ROA. * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i}: Added some more methods and enum declarations to the ROA_PARAMS singleton. * IIOP/lib/principa.hh: Moved the CORBA_Principal_ptr declaration to orb.hh. * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,cpp}: Moved some functionality to boa.hh. ROA is now only a specialized form of BOA. * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Moved the typedef for "skeleton" to orb.hh. * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.{hh,cpp}: Had to rename BOA to CORBA_BOA. * IIOP/lib/typecode.hh: Moved the CORBA_TypeCode_ptr declaration to orb.hh. Tue Apr 22 23:30:19 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Added log message. * IIOP/lib/params.cpp (concurrency_strategy): Uses reactive strategy when appropriate. * IIOP/lib/params.hh: Reactive strategy added. Tue Apr 22 21:03:15 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Changed erroneous ACE_GUARD calls to ACE_GUARD_RETURN calls. Tue Apr 22 16:15:52 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Removed more POSIX thread calls. * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Changed ForceSynchronousCancellation to ACE_Synchronous_Cancellation_Required and made it use the ACE_OS calls. * IIOP/lib/{typecode,svrrqst,request,principa,orbobj,nvlist,iiopobj,giop,except,any}.*: Removed all vestiges of pthread mutexes...they are now ACE_Thread_Mutexes. This will likely have to change if we want to compile something completely devoid of threads, but that's another day. Also, the mutexes have moved from being globals to being members on the respective classes. No files should be dependent on thread.hh any longer. * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Removed code obsoleted by use of the Strategy_Acceptor. * IIOP/lib/{roa.cpp,connect.cpp},IIOP/tests/svr.cpp: Changes to use new singletons described below. * IIOP/lib/params.*: Changed ROA_Parameters and ROA_Factory to use ACE_Singleton<>. The singleton types are now named ROA_PARAMS and ROA_FACTORY. Mon Apr 21 23:44:34 1997 Douglas C. Schmidt * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp (ROA): Changed spelling of clientAcceptor_ to client_acceptor_ to be consistent with ACE style conventions. Mon Apr 21 10:52:42 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved call to CORBA_ORB_init() prior to the parsing of the command line args. This got switched around during porting to VxWorks. * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Changed calls using clientAcceptor_to use APIs vended by ACE_Strategy_Acceptor. * IIOP/lib/roa.hh: Moved default thread flags into ROA_Factory. * IIOP/lib/params.*: Added ROA_Factory, a singleton which is the beginning of an abstract factory dynamically producing runtime strategies based on information found in ROA_Parameters. * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Added call to ROA_Handler's base class CTOR in initializer list. * IIOP/lib/connect.hh: Changed ROA_Handler's CTOR so that it can take an optional ACE_Thread_Manager* arg. This makes it compatible with the CTORs for the base class. Also changed base class for ROA_Acceptor to ACE_Strategy_Acceptor. * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Changed references to BOA_ptr from TOA_ptr. * IIOP/lib/connect.*: ROA_Handler/ROA_Acceptor moved from roa.* into here. * IIOP/lib/params.*: ROA_Parameters moved from roa.* into here. * IIOP/lib/boa.*: What used to be TOA is now BOA, and lives in here. * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Major restructuring required removal of all classes (see other log entries) from here. This file now houses only the ROA class. * IIOP/lib/{tcpoa.*,toa.*}: Removed because of name changes from TCP_OA->ROA and TOA->BOA. Fri Apr 18 08:09:19 1997 Brian Mendel * cdr.hh,corbacom.{hh,cpp},giop.cpp,marshall.cpp,typecode.cpp: Changes required for WChar missed in earlier committed code. * connmgr.cpp: Changes required for select statement. * nvlist.cpp: Conditional include for memory.h added. VxWorks does not have memory.h. * object.cpp: Added conditional for VXWORKS to define IID_IUnknown. * orbconf.hh: Minor tuning of the configuration file. * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: Added VXWORKS conditional includes. * toa.cpp: Added VXWORKS conditional includes. Mon Apr 15 17:01:00 1997 Brian Mendel * roa.cpp: Added return statement to ROA_Handler::open(void*) method. * giop.cpp: Modified giop::read_buffer to replace undefined fc with peer.get_handle(). Modified giop::incoming_message method parameter list to match function prototype exactly. * tcpoa.cpp: Replaced fd instances in debug messages with peer.get_handle() calls. Mon Apr 14 13:45:54 1997 Chris Cleeland * roa.{hh,i,cpp},tcpoa.cpp,svr.cpp: Replaced ACE_ROA with ROA_Parameters, which is a GoF-style singleton. Sun Apr 13 00:01:56 1997 Chris Cleeland * roa.cpp: Fix continuation condition in ROA_Handler::svc()'s loop so that it doesn't stop after one iteration. Also added some debug messages. * giop.cpp: Fixed some returns being called with no value. This should have been caught in the previous round of changes. Sat Apr 12 23:10:08 1997 Chris Cleeland * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: TCP_OA::handle_message() now returns a value indicating how a message was handled. * roa.cpp: ROA_Handler::handle_input() now returns a meaningful value based on what TCP_OA::handle_message() returns. * giop.{hh,cpp}: Added end-of-file detection on socket connections, and that is now propagated all the way back up through GIOP::incoming_message(). I don't know if I violated something in the spec by doing this, but it was necessary. I'll look into it later. Thu Apr 10 11:49:44 1997 Chris Cleeland * giop.{hh,cpp}: Overloaded all methods dealing with connections so that there are two, one taking a file descriptor as argument, the other taking an ACE_SOCK_Stream. Right now, the *_Stream version simply forwards to the fd-based one. I would have preferred to get rid of the fd-based methods altogether, but we've only converted the server runtime; the client is still using the original sun code, which is effectively fd-based. In the course of doing this, I also simplified the decls for incoming_message by creating typedefs for some of the function pointers passed as args. * orbconf.hh: Fixed the stupid auto-endian-ness detector AGAIN...had my logic reversed! * roa.cpp: Adjusted code in accordance with changes to tcpoa.hh. * tcpoa.hh: Moved and renamed TCP_OA::dispatch_context to be ::Dispatch_Context, and changed its endpoint member to be an ACE_SOCK_Stream. * roa.hh: Fixed handle_input() to use the underlying peer() data member for reading data, rather than using its argument. This is so that when a different thread handles each connection, handle_input() can simply be called repeatedly by svc(). Wed Apr 9 16:19:21 1997 Chris Cleeland * tcpoa.cpp: Fixed a problem that G++ didn't notice regarding changing the notion of endpoints in servers from server_endpoint to an ACE_HANDLE. Wed Apr 9 15:43:37 1997 Chris Cleeland * svr.cpp: The -p option is gone, and -e takes its place and is required. This requires the user to specify not only the port number, but also the IP address of on which the server should listen for requests. See ACE_INET_Addr documentation for valid string formats for addresses. Also, the -t option sets the "use threads" global. * orbconf.hh: Hopefully resolved the tension between MS and Unix platforms in inferring endian-ness of the target platform based on preprocessor defines. We now check for i386, _M_X86, and vax (yeah, like we really worry about that, but it's easy to do). * roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support for spawning threads to handle incoming requests. This involves a state flag for whether or not to use threads, calling activate() in ROA_Handler::open() if that flag is set, and creating ROA_Handler::svc() that simply loops calling handle_input(). Tue Apr 8 11:14:57 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Moved setting of upcall(), forwarder(), context(), etc. into here rather than in TCP_OA::TCP_OA(), which is where I mistakenly stuck them a few days ago (duh!). * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp: Removed setting of ACE_ROA::upcall(), which belongs in the server code. I got confused because the function names were so similar: tcpoa.cpp contains ::tcp_oa_dispatcher(), and svr.cpp contains ::tcpoa_dispatch(). * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added forwarding function to ACE_ROA global namespace hack. * IIOP/lib/orbconf.hh: Fixed preprocessor checks that auto-detect endian-ness of this processor. Mon Apr 7 21:08:24 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/test/test1_{clnt,svr}.cpp: THESE HAVE NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO USE ACE EVENT HANDLING!! This round of changes explicitly instantiates templates where required. * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Global function ::OA_listen() no longer exists; its functionality is now fully contained within ::main(). If USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING is defined, a Reactor-based event loop is used. The original intent was to allow conditional compilation to select btw. the original method and a Reactor-based method. However, weaving that into the library proved far more difficult than anticipated, so more than likely not defining USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING will cause massive grief. * IIOP/lib/toa.cpp: Changed call to TCP_OA::init() to reflect new ACE_INET_Addr argument type. * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp (TCP_OA): All initialization methods were changed, specifically the CTOR and TCP_OA::init, to reflect the introduction of ACE_INET_Addr. Two side-effects of using ACE_INET_Addr are that (1) a server can specify the address on which it wants to listen and (2) best that I can tell, the server MUST specify the address on which it wants to listen because otherwise it won't be able to publish a rational IOR. The event loop is now changed to simply loop on Reactor::handle_events(). * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.hh (TCP_OA): Removed vestiges of this component's use of the original connection management scheme. Where appropriate, hostnames and ports were replaces by ACE_INET_Addr, endpoints by ACE_HANDLEs, etc. One particularly nasty thing done was to declare ROA_Handler as a friend so that handle_message() can be called from ROA_Handler::handle_input(), which to me exposes a hole in the original architecture wherein input is "pulled" rather than waited-for. We might need to re-think how this is handled within TAO. * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: These files contain the required components to support the new server-side ACE-based connection/event substrate. The client side remains, as always, using the connection mgmt scheme used by the original Sun IIOP code. * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added explicit template instantiation for when this is needed. * IIOP/lib/corbacom.hh: Now protects itself from multiple inclusion. * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added roa.* where appropriate. Wed Mar 19 10:25:21 1997 Chris Cleeland * IIOP/docs/us/codecount/*.count: Added to repository. * Makefile: Added to repository. * IIOP/objbase.h: Moved to IIOP/compat. * IIOP/initguid.h: Moved to IIOP/compat. Thu Mar 13 14:06:28 1997 Chris Cleeland * ChangeLog: Added the ChangeLog. We'd like to thank David Brownell , the original author of SunSoft IIOP, for helping to launch TAO off in the right direction!
