This is a 'To Do' list for the TAO versions of the Henning and Vinoski examples ($TAO_ROOT/examples/Advanced). It is an ongoing effort to get these examples working with TAO, 'out of the box' with as few changes as possible. If you'd like to help or have additional problems to report please coordinate with Mike Moran . All changes which have been made over the original code distribution have been documented in CHANGES files in each examples directory. Please keep these files up-to-date. ______________________________________________________________________________ - Chapter 19's example throws exceptions at runtime. - run_tests.pl in ch_3/, ch8_and_10/, ch_12/, and ch_21 do not work on Win32. These tests need to redirect stdout of the server to a file, and maintain a reference to the process so that the server can killed at the end of the script. - Instances of fstream.close() and related error detection have been commented-out in all examples 12 and higher. This code needs to be reinstated. - Chapters 8 and above do not work with MS Visual Studio. possibly due to multiple inheritance issues. Possibly STL issues, too. - We could use a better test for the multitheraded server in ch_21. - Do more testing on various platforms and compilers. These so far only Solaris 7, Linux and Windows NT have been used.
