Sun Oct 12 12:17:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T: Added a new ACE_Thread_Timer_Queue_Adapter,
 	  which makes it possible to use a timer queue in a thread
 	  automagically.  Thanks to Carlos O'Ryan for writing this.

	* examples/Timer_Queue: Began to integrate Carlo's new thread
 	  timer queue test.

	* examples/Timer_Queue/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Changed the
 	  timer queue from a Timer_List to a Timer_Heap.

	* examples/Makefile (DIRS): Added Timer_Queue to the list of DIRS
 	  to build.

Sun Oct 12 03:35:37 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE.cpp (register_stdin_handler): Must register the reactor
	  we are using to the event handler.
	  (read_adapter): Must notify the reactor when we are done with
 	  handling stdin event.  

Sun Oct 12 00:26:56 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Makefile: 
	* ace/Priority_Reactor.h: 
	* ace/Priority_Reactor.i: 
	* ace/Priority_Reactor.cpp: 
	  Augmentes Select_Reactor, adding priority based dispatching for
	  the I/O Event_Handlers, the only feature supported is
	  dispatching in the order defined by the priorities.
 	  Each Event_Handler defines its priority, if the priority is out
	  of range the culprit is "punished" by dispatching at the lowest
	  priority.
	  Care has been exercised to avoid dynamic memory allocation.

	* tests/Makefile: 
	* tests/Priority_Reactor_Test.h: 
	* tests/Priority_Reactor_Test.cpp: 
	  Added small tests of the Priority_Reactor, the test runs an
	  Acceptor on the main thread and creates several threads (or
	  processes if the plaform does not support threads) that connect
	  to this Acceptor. The writing threads send several short
	  messages, the main thread receives them using one Svc_Handler
	  per writer, dispatched at different priorities.
	  The test itself is interesting, it shows how to write very
	  simple Svc_Handler, Connectors and Acceptors.

	* ace/Select_Reactor.h: 
	* ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: 
	  The dispatching of all the handles in a "group" (READ, WRITE or
	  EXCEPT) was encapsulated in a single routine.

	* ace/Malloc_T.cpp: 
	  In the Cached_Allocator memory was allocated as an arrays of
	  char, it must be released the same way.

	* ace/Sched_Params.h: 
	* ace/Sched_Params.i: 
	  Added a new class (ACE_Sched_Priority_Iterator) to iterate over
	  the priorities.

	* tests/Priority_Task_Test.cpp: 
	  Added some comments.

Sat Oct 10 16:23:49 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: Passes the test if the should-fail
	  non-blocking test fails for any reason - not limited to ECONNREFUSED
	  or ENOTCONN.

Sat Oct 11 16:02:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.15, released Sat Oct 11 16:02:33 1997.

Sat Oct 11 14:38:16 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/SOCK_Connector.cpp (complete): Fixed a typo with
 	  ACE_NON_BLOCKING_BUG_DELAY.  Thanks to John Zeb Dhom"
 	  <zeb@ibm.net> for reporting this.

	* tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp (client): Slightly revised the client
 	  function so that it doesn't try to use non-blocking connects if
 	  it's on a Win32 platform that has bugs with non-blocking
 	  connects.

	* ace/SOCK_Connector.cpp: It appears that connect() can set the
 	  ETIMEDOUT errno if the connection times out (whatever that
 	  means).  Therefore, I need to check for that errno, rather than
 	  ETIME after calling connect().

	* tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: Added a check for ETIMEDOUT
	  since this appears to be set by some platforms (e.g., 
	  SGI).

Sat Oct 11 02:52:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.14, released Sat Oct 11 02:52:10 1997.

Sat Oct 11 02:10:29 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* examples/Logger/simple-server/Makefile: 
	* examples/Mem_Map/IO-tests/Makefile: 
	* examples/Reactor/Multicast/Makefile: 
	* examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/Makefile: 
	  Fixed some more problems with the Makefiles for binaries; I took
	  the chance and added RCS ids on the Makefiles

Fri Oct 10 18:39:39 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Service_Config_Test.cpp: Moved the static member function
 	  called cleanup() out into a stand-alone extern "C" function
 	  called test_singleton_cleanup() to workaround MVS C++ compiler
 	  bugs.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

	* ace/Task.cpp: Solved the age old MVS C++ problem where we can't
 	  register C++ static member functions as C callback functions.
  	  The solution here was to create a C wrapper to do the callback.
	  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

	* tests/Service_Config_Test.cpp: Made the destructor of
 	  Test_Singleton public to work around bugs with the MVS C++
 	  compiler.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

	* ace/ACE,
	  ace/Proactor,
	  ace/SOCK_Connector,
	  ace/SPIPE_Connector,
	  ace/Acceptor,
	  tests/Conn_Test: Changed ETIMEDOUT errno to ETIME errno to be
	  consistent throughout ACE.  There should be no uses of
	  ETIMEDOUT in ACE or the test apps and examples.

	* ace/ACE.cpp (handle_timed_complete): Only assume that we've
	  timed out if the return value from select() == 0 *and* the
	  timeout value isn't NULL...

	* ace/Object_Manager.h: Replaced the use of ACE_MT() in the header
 	  file with a #ifdef.  This solves problems that arise when ACE_MT
 	  is defined as "nothing" when MT_SAFE is not defined. As a code
 	  which has "ACE_MT();" becomes just ";" and fail to compile.
  	  Thanks to Avraham Nash <ANash@Engagetech.com> for reporting
 	  this.

Fri Oct 10 19:55:50 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* examples/ASX/CCM_App/Makefile: 
	* include/makeinclude/rules.bin.GNU: 
	  I have re-applied Steve Huston changes from Oct 01, the change
 	  was (IMHO) useful and made compilation cleaner.

	* examples/ASX/Event_Server/Event_Server/Makefile: 
	  Fixed problem that made compilation fail.

Fri Oct 10 19:52:44 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

	* ace/OS.h:
	* ace/Connector.cpp:
	* ace/SOCK_Connector.cpp: Added new #define
	  ACE_NON_BLOCKING_BUG_DELAY and replace their uses from some
	  magic numbers to this constant. 

Fri Oct 10 19:27:28 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* include/makeinclude/rules.bin.GNU
	  examples/ASX/CCM_App/Makefile
	     Removed the changes to these files added Oct 01.

Fri Oct 10 15:21:07 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-connector.cpp
 	  (disconnecting): Remove this method. It was not being used. Also
 	  rewrote some parts of handle_close to make the code simple.

	* ace/Connector.cpp (create_AST): The register_handler() method
 	  now needs to explicitly be given the handle to wait on. This is
 	  because the get_handle() method of Connector has been
 	  depricated.

	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_sock_connector.cpp (main):
 	  Since this test waits on the STDIN handle to become ready, we
 	  have to make sure that the WFMO_Reactor is used on Win32. This
 	  is necessary since select() on NT does not support waiting on
 	  STDIN.

	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-connector.cpp (open): On
 	  Win32, the std handle must be registered directly (and not as a
 	  socket).  On non-Win32, the std handle must be registered as a
 	  normal handle with the READ mask. Since on Win32, STDIN is used
 	  directly as an waitable handle, handle_signal will be called
 	  instead of handle_input. Therefore, we had to add handle_signal
 	  to the event_handler.

Fri Oct 10 15:16:47 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/WFMO_Reactor.{h,cpp}:
	* ace/Select_Reactor.{h,cpp}:
	* ace/Reactor_Impl.h:
	* ace/Reactor.h:  Added 2 new functions in ACE_Reactor class so we
	  can replace the signal handler and timer queue the reactor is
	  using.  Notice that you should do this before you start the
	  reactor, otherwise, you may loose your scheduled timed events.

Fri Oct 10 14:49:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* bin/man2html: Added a new set rul -e 's/^$/<P>/g', which
 	  correctly preserves paragraph boundaries.  Regenerated all of
 	  the ACE html documentation so that it is much better formatted.

Fri Oct 10 11:08:02 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/run_tests.sh: 
	  We remove the log file before running a test, we also check for
	  the log file existance before running run_test.check on
	  it. Thanks to Dean Clamons <dean@n5170a.nrl.navy.mil> for
	  helping us with this.

	* tests/run_tests.check: 
	  IRIX egrep does not support -q, we redirect the output the
	  /dev/null instead.

Fri Oct 10 01:46:07 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.13, released Fri Oct 10 01:46:07 1997.

Thu Oct  9 22:23:56 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Moved the explicit template
 	  instantiations for ACE_Unbounded_Queue out of the complicated
 	  #ifdef since we also want this to compile even if we don't have
 	  threads.

	* tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp: Revised the code so that it uses
 	  processes on UNIX rather than threads.

	* tests/SOCK_Test.cpp (spawn): Cleaned up the code to make it
 	  correct.

	* ace/Get_Opt.cpp (ACE_Get_Opt): Changed the third argument to the
 	  ACE_Get_Opt constructor be changed from `char *' to `const char
 	  *'.  Thanks to Eric Newton for suggesting this.

Thu Oct 09 18:43:14 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp (connect_svc_handler): Added
 	  synchronization to the method as the setting of the in_use bit
 	  in the service handler must be done atomically with the finding
 	  and binding of the service handler in the cache.

	* tests/Conn_Test.cpp (client_connections): Added mutlithreading
 	  to the test in order to test out the new MT features of the
 	  Connector.

	* ace/OS.cpp (invoke): Somehow there was a bug introduced in
 	  ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke where the user entry point was being
 	  called twice!
	  
Thu Oct 09 17:54:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.12, released Thu Oct 09 17:54:31 1997.

Thu Oct  9 17:46:59 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: 
	  Added explicit instantiation of
	  ACE_Unbounded_Queue_Iterator<ACE_Thread_Descriptor>, it seems to
	  be needed on Linux and other platforms; thanks to Huiying Shen
	  <shen@environ.org> for pointing out this one.

	* ace/OS.h: 
	* ace/OS.i: 
	  Reverted the change that added support for
	  pthread_setconcurrency on IRIX, the function was supposed to be
	  undocumented, but present on the libraries, I could not find it
	  in any of the SGI machines we have access to.; not even 

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: 
	  On IRIX/SGIC++ we need to instantiate ACE_Node too.

	* ace/SOCK.h: 
	  Moved the open() method to the public interface, it is used by
	  ACE_SOCK_Connector.

Wed Oct  8 20:01:35 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/SOCK_Connector: Modified the ACE_SOCK_Connector so that it
 	  doesn't maintain state and doesn't inherit from ACE_SOCK.
  	  Therefore, we can have multiple threads using the same
 	  ACE_SOCK_Connector simultaneously without any reentrancy
 	  problems.

	* ace/SOCK.h: Moved the open() method into the public part of the
 	  class so it can be used in ACE_SOCK_Connector::connect().

	* ace/Connector.h: Removed the this->connector_ from the
 	  ACE_Connector class in order to make this pattern work correctly
 	  with multi-threaded programs.  Also removed the connector()
	  accessor (which was never useful anyway).

	* ace/SOCK.cpp (open): Explicitly test setsockopt() for -1 in case
	  of failure.

	* tests/SOCK_Test.cpp (server): Revised this test to reflect the
 	  fact that it doesn't iterate, but only runs one client and one
 	  server.

	* tests: Added a new test for multi-threaded sockets called
 	  MT_SOCK_Test.cpp.  Thanks to Bob Laferriere
 	  <laferrie@gsao.med.ge.com> for motivating this test.

Wed Oct  8 12:09:46 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i (strcasecmp): Oops, we forgot to compare the strlen
	  first.  Thanks to Murphy Ivan <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de> for
	  fixing the bug.

	* ace/OS.h: Added THR_DAEMON macro definition for Win32 (et. al.?)
	  to avoid compilation error.
	  Removed ACE_HAS_BROKEN_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR and related macros.

Wed Oct  8 09:52:20 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Parse_Node.cpp: 
	  Fixed the minor syntax error *again*.

Tue Oct  7 17:10:51 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Token_Manager.cpp: 
	  Added a defined(ACE_MT_SAFE) protection around the lock creation
	  on ACE_Token_Manager::instance(), otherwise it would not work on
	  platforms without threads. Thanks to "Neil B. Cohen"
	  <nbc@metsci.com> for pointing this one out.

Tue Oct  7 07:07:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Parse_Node.cpp (symbol): Added an ACE_ERROR_RETURN instead
 	  of an ACE_RETURN to bail out if an error occurs.  Thanks to Eric
 	  Newton for reporting this.

Tue Oct  7 10:57:48 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: 
	  Added a prototype for pthread_setconcurrency when
	  ACE_HAS_IRIX62_THREADS is defined. This function is undocumented
	  but was needed by some users.

	* ace/Parse_Node.cpp: 
	  Fixed a minor syntax error.

Tue Oct 07 06:58:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.11, released Tue Oct 07 06:58:40 1997.

Tue Oct  7 02:51:55 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/TSS_Test.cpp (main): 
	* tests/Task_Test.cpp (main): 
	* tests/Barrier_Test.cpp (main): Removed thread_handles[] since we
	  don't need to join the thread explicitly anymore.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.{h,cpp}:  Added an ACE_Unbounded_Quque to
	  collect terminated threads so that we can later join the threads
 	  automatically by issuing a ACE_Thread_Manager::wait().  Some
	  typos are also fixed.  Next step will be to replace current
	  thr_table_ with a hash table and store an index to this table
	  in TSS.

Mon Oct  6 22:16:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager: Added a new task() method to
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager that returns a pointer to the current
 	  ACE_Task_Base we're executing in if this thread is indeed
 	  running in an ACE_Task_Base, else return 0.  Thanks to Ari Erev
 	  <ari_erev@icomverse.com> and John Neystadt for suggesting this.

	* ace/Thread_Manager: Moved the task_ pointer from the public part
 	  of the ACE_Thread_Descriptor class into the private part of the
 	  class and added an inline accessor instead.

	* ace/{Parse_Node.{h,cpp},Svc_Conf.y}: Added support to enable
 	  dynamically allocate objects from factory functions that have
 	  been pre-registered with the Service Configurator instead of
	  relying on dynamic loading.  The new config file syntax would be
	  (note the colons):  

	  dynamic joe Service_Object * : make_queue() active 
	  dynamic bob Service_Object * : make_queue() active

	  Functions are found in the list of statically defined functions
	  for static services.  Thanks to Eric C. Newton <ecn@smart.net>
	  for this fix.


Mon Oct  6 13:00:19 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp: Removed the use of reactor_ in the .cpp
 	  file too; we are using the ACE_Event_Handler reactor_ (which is
 	  a base class).

Sat Oct 04 17:40:30 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.10, released Sat Oct 04 17:40:30 1997.

Sat Oct  4 11:57:25 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* apps/Orbix-Examples/Event_Comm/{Supplier,Consumer}/Makefile:
 	  Changed a typo where /src/ was being used instead of /libsrc/.
  	  Thanks to Jean-Marc STRAUSS <strauss@objectif.fr> for reporting
 	  this.

	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-connector.cpp (init):
 	  Removed the initialization of the local address.  This is
 	  error-prone and confusing to use.  Thanks to Huiying Shen
	  <shen@environ.org> for reporting this.

	* ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple: Added support for IPC_EXCL in order to
 	  determine, upon creating the semaphore, if it already exists
	  (which means a bad key was selected), another daemon is still
 	  running or the previous daemon didn't remove its resources.  I
 	  have this implemented now by first opening the semaphore and if
 	  that fails then creating it.  To support this, added another
 	  enum, ACE_EXCL = IPC_EXCL, to the class header.
	  Also, changed the ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple::open( key_t, ... )
	  method to use 

	  if (ACE_BIT_ENABLED (flags, IPC_CREAT)) 

	  rather than

	  if (flags == IPC_CREAT)

          Thanks to Michael McKnight <mcknight@signalsoftcorp.com> for
 	  reporting this.

        * ace: Replaced all uses of the template param LOCK with ACE_LOCK
 	  to avoid conflicts with some systems that have a macro named
 	  LOCK.

	* ace/IOStream_T.h: Added ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAM to the
 	  IOStream_T.* files.  Thanks to Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no>
 	  for reporting this.

	* ace/{Proactor,Service_Config,ACE_Sig_Handler}: Removed the use
 	  of sig_atomic_t as a return type.  Thanks to Torbjorn Lindgren
 	  <tl@funcom.no> for reporting this.

Sat Oct 04 03:14:46 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (add_network_events_i): While looking
 	  through all entries in the current (and suspended) handles for a
 	  matching handle, we need to skip those that have been scheduled
 	  for deletion). Also changed ACE_BIT_STRICTLY_ENABLED to
 	  ACE_BIT_ENABLED.
	  
	* ace/Select_Reactor.cpp (bit_ops): Since CONNECT is no longer a
 	  logical OR of READ and WRITE, we have to explicitly make sure
 	  that enable the handle in the correct wait sets.

	* ace/Event_Handler.h: Changed the values of the event
 	  masks. CONNECT is no longer a logical OR of READ and WRITE. It
 	  was its own unique value.

	* ace/OS.h: Removed ACE_BIT_STRICTLY_ENABLED. It did not do what I
 	  thought it would do.
	
	* ace/Connector.cpp (handle_output): Added code that tries to find
 	  out if the reactor uses event associations for the handles it
 	  waits on. If so we need to reset it. This is necessary for
 	  asynchronous connects.

	* ace/SOCK_Connector.i (reset_new_handle): Added new method on all
 	  connectors to reset event associations of handles. 

Fri Oct 03 21:20:26 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Makefile: disable INSTALL in $(ACE_ROOT)/ace Makefile,
	  because it's not needed and it creates circular symlinks when
	  the library build fails.

Fri Oct  3 11:39:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager: Added a new flags_ field to
 	  ACE_Thread_Descriptor and changed the insert_thr() and
 	  append_thr() methods to update this flag so that we can keep
 	  track of whether the thread was created "detached" or not.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp (event_loop_done): Replaced the use of
 	  sig_atomic_t with int to workaround bugs with KAI C++.  Thanks
 	  to Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for reporting this.

	* ace/CORBA_Handler: Removed the reactor() accessors since they
 	  are subsumed by the methods in ACE_Event_Handler.  Thanks to
 	  Jean-Marc STRAUSS <strauss@objectif.fr> for reporting this.

Thu Oct 02 15:38:34 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* Reactor: Renamed reset_new_handle to uses_event_associations.

	* ace/FIFO_Recv.cpp (ACE_FIFO_Recv): aux_handle_ must correctly be
 	  initialized to ACE_INVALID_HANDLE. Thanks to Sandro Doro
 	  <doros@aureus> for reporting this.

Thu Oct 02 11:21:37 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_{aix aix4.2}.GNU: added the
	  shared_libs_only = 0 and static_libs = 1 settings since C Set++
	  builds the shared libs from the static.

	* ace/OS.h: Removed spaces around '##' in ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE macro.

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp: added #include "ace/Thread_Manager.h"

	* ace/Managed_Object.h: Added <TYPE> template arg in the "unimplemented
	  function" section.

Thu Oct 02 10:46:18 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Malloc.h: added some comments on rationale and use of
	  ACE_MALLOC_ALIGN.

Wed Oct 01 19:08:26 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* include/makeinclude/rules.bin.GNU: correctly builds programs
	  with multiple object modules.

	* examples/ASX/CCM_App/Makefile: needed some adjustment to work with 
	  new rules.bin.GNU, above.

Wed Oct 01 14:11:03 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

	* ace/Remote_Name_Space.cpp (resolve): We need to allocate one more
 	  space than what strlen reports.

Wed Oct 01 12:45:51 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE.cpp (count_interfaces, get_handle): changed "unix" to
	  "__unix" because DEC CXX doesn't #define "unix".  Thanks to
	  Billy Quinn <bquinn@lads.com> for reporting this.

	* ace/High_Res_Timer.h: added comment from Gabe
 	  <begeddov@proaxis.com> about ACE_OS::gethrtime () drift on MP
 	  machines.

	* ace/OS.i (gethrtime, Solaris only): removed ACE_OSCALL_RETURN
	  wrapper around ::gethrtime () because it was broken (the type
	  was int) and not necessary (::gethrtime () should never fail),
	  so we can remove its overhead.

	* tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: undef ACE_NO_INLINE in the
	  ACE_U_LongLong test hacks.

	* tests/SV_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: delay construction of allocator
	  until first needed because it needs something that the
	  ACE_Object_Manager constructs.

	* tests/run_tests.vxworks: added console printout before each test.

Tue Sep 30 21:42:58 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.9, released Tue Sep 30 21:42:58 1997.

Tue Sep 30 17:15:14 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Filecache.{h,cpp}: I removed the static locks in the
	  Filecache and made them local member objects.  Since Filecache
	  is usually a singleton, no more memory is required this way.

	* tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp: Added some code to test the
	  Hash_Map_Manager_Iterator.  This is to show Bob Laferriere that
	  it works.

Tue Sep 30 13:41:14 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_R_Stream.i
 	  (handle_input):  
	* examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_network_events.cpp (handle_input): 
	* examples/Logger/simple-server/Logging_Acceptor.cpp
 	  (handle_input): Changed to use reset_new_handle () for querying
 	  whether we need to reset handles or not.

Tue Sep 30 08:35:15 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Atomic_Op.i: added CVS header.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: removed Filecache arrays, because
	  Filecache no longer needs them.
	
	* ace/Filecache.{h,cpp}: removed unused static Filecache::lock_.
	
	* tests/test_config.h: Added 1 second sleep to ACE_END_TEST to
	  allow all threads to terminate gracefully.
	  VxWorks only: removed the hack removal of the log file, because
	  it no longer appears to be necessary.

	* tests/TSS_Test_Errno.h,TSS_Test.cpp: dynamically allocate
	  Errno::lock_ to try to avoid problem with cleanup of statics
	  on VxWorks.  It doesn't solve the problem, all of the time.
	  There are still statics in the ACE library, which could be
	  causing it.

Tue Sep 30 01:35:28 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Naming_Context.cpp (close, close_down): Separated these two
	  functions calls.  Close now only release the name_space_
	  resource and close_down release all resources.  Close should be
	  use when changing the name_space.  

Mon Sep 29 22:29:46 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp (accept_svc_handler ): 
	* ace/Service_Manager.cpp (handle_input): 
	* ace/Acceptor.cpp (handle_input, accept_svc_handler): Changed to
	  use reset_new_handle () for querying whether we need to reset
	  handles or not.

	* ace/Reactor.{h,i} (reset_new_handle): 
	* ace/Reactor_Impl.h (reset_new_handle): 
	* ace/Select_Reactor.{h,i} (reset_new_handle): 
	* ace/WFMO_Reactor.{h,i} (reset_new_handle): Added this new method
 	  so we can determine whether the implementation of the reactor
 	  requires us to decouple the event a handle inherit from accept.
  	  This scheme doesn't depend on the RTTI support of compilers.
  	  Thanks to Irfan for the tips.

Mon Sep 29 21:28:02 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Synch (ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex): Methods were added to
 	  ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex so that it has a consistent interface
 	  with other locking mechanisms.  Thanks to Phil Logan
 	  <phill@in.ot.com.au> for submitting these changes.

Mon Sep 29 13:28:05 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i (thr_setconcurrency): added support on Irix 6.x, using
	  its ::pthread_setconcurrency ().  Thanks to Felix Popp
	  <fxpopp@immd9.informatik.uni-erlangen.de> for letting us know
	  about this Irix 6.2/3 system function, and for testing it out.

	* ace/ACE.cpp (handle_timed_complete) force recv check on VxWorks
	  because its read handle is always not set.  Thanks to Steve for
	  helping track down the problem.  We might want to consider doing
	  it this way on Unix platforms, as well, according to Steve.

	* apps/JAWS/server/HTTP_Server_T.cpp (accept): fixed typo,
	  "remote_address" instead of "remote_adrress".

	* tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp (test_ace_u_longlong): replaced
	  ACE_ASSERTs with calls to a static function that prints out
	  why the test failed.  Also, disabled test of ACE_U_LongLong
	  if ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONG.

	* ace/OS.h: 1) Use u_long for ACE_hrtime_t if ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS.
	  2) Added ACE_NO_INLINE support to allow wrapper_macros.GNU to
	  disable inlining from the command line.  3) Added
	  ACE_HAS_VERBOSE_NOTSUP support.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added "inline" flag to
	  allow enabling/disabling of inlining from the command line or
	  platform_macros.GNU.

	* ace/config-vxworks*.h: added ACE_HAS_VERBOSE_NOTSUP.

Mon Sep 29 11:15:10 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h (ace_cleanup_destroyer): Made this an export function.

Sat Sep 27 17:04:48 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Reactor: Added new methods to be able to set and get the
 	  implementation class being used by the reactor. The set method
 	  is protected and should be used with care, specially while
 	  changing the implementation class midway through an
 	  application. Also both the methods are virtual, and user can
 	  subclass to change their behavior. The internal code of the
 	  reactor also changed to now use these methods exclusively rather
 	  than the the raw data variables.

	* ace/Acceptor.cpp (handle_input): When using the WFMO_Reactor, we
 	  need to reset the event association for the newly created
 	  handle. This is because the newly created handle will inherit
 	  the properties of the listen handle, including its event
 	  associations. Therefore two changes were made:

	  - A new directive (flag) was added to all the acceptors
 	    (LSOCK_Acceptor, SOCK_Acceptor, SPIPE_Acceptor, TLI_Acceptor,
 	    and UPIPE_Acceptor) to reset the event associations of the
 	    newly created handle. Currently only the SOCK_Acceptor pays
 	    attentions to this directive, others just ignore it. This flag
 	    had to be added to all the acceptors for interface
 	    compatibility and also to make sure that the Acceptor template
 	    code works correctly.

	  - A dynamic_cast was necessary to determine at run-time which
 	    implementation of the Reactor we are using. But because this
 	    code is limited to Win32, there should be no problems doing
 	    the dynamic_cast.
	    
	  The same thing as above needed to be done to:
	
	  - ACE_Accept_Strategy::accept_svc_handler (ace/Strategies_T.cpp)

 	  - ACE_Service_Manager::handle_input (ace/Service_Manager.cpp)
	  
	  - LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor::accept (apps/JAWS/server/HTTP_Server_T.h)

	  - Logging_Acceptor.cpp::handle_input (examples/Logger/simple-server/Logging_Acceptor.cpp)

	  - Network_Listener::handle_input (examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_network_events.cpp)

	  - Handle_R_Stream::handle_input (examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_R_Stream.i)

Sat Sep 27 20:03:29 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++_orbix.GNU: 
	  Activated exceptions by default too, since they are used by
	  Orbix anyway.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: 
	  Some libraries were missing and the locations were not
	  completely accurate.

	* ace/config-sunos5.5-sunc++-4.x-orbix.h: 
	  I let the MT Orbix as the default, since that is the
	  configuration here and that was implicit in the platform*.GNU
	  files.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: 
	  Added flags to the IDL compiler to emit support for both
	  CORBA::Any (-A) and the BOAImpl (-B) approach for the server
	  side implementations.

	* ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp: 
	  The full definition for Thread_Manager was missing, I added an
	  include for it.

Sat Sep 27 07:59:18 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU,
	  platform_{chorus,lynxos,vxworks*}.GNU:
	  default to building shared libs only, except on Chorus,
	  LynxOS, and VxWorks.  While the "shared_libs_only=1" make
	  flag is still supported, it is no longer necessary because
 	  it is the default.

	  To revert to the prior behavior of building both shared and
 	  static libraries, add "static_libs=1" to either your make
 	  command invocation or your include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU.

Sat Sep 27 00:45:10 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* examples/OS/Process/README (imore):
	* examples/OS/Process/Makefile:
	* examples/OS/Process/imore.cpp:  Added a new example: imore.

	* ace/SOCK_Stream.cpp (close, close_reader, close_writer): Moved
	  invalid handlers checking from close to close_reader and
	  close_writer.
	
Fri Sep 26 14:28:36 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@CHA-CHA>

	* tests/SPIPE_Test.cpp:
	* tests/Process_Strategy_Test: Changed the macro "ACE_LACKS_EXEC"
	  to "ACE_LACKS_FORK".

	* ace/SOCK_Stream.cpp (close): Added checking for invalid handle
	  before shutting down the write end.

Fri Sep 26 11:55:27 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Malloc.h: Use signed math in the preprocessor calculations
	  for ACE_CONTROL_BLOCK_ALIGN_LONGS (and all of its contributing
	  factors).

	* ace/ACE.cpp: Fixed the TLI/BSD checks in handle_timed_complete.

	* tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: Added ENOTCONN as a valid fail
	  condition (in addition to ECONNREFUSED).

Fri Sep 26 05:11:40 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/SOCK_Acceptor.cpp (shared_accept): Made the newly added
	  WSAEventSelect code unreachable.  It caused several test program
	  hung when performing socket recieving.  Don't know why this is
	  happening.  According to the online manual, this should be the
	  right thing to do.  Some more Access Violations to be fix
	  tomorrow.  Oh, I mean, today.

Fri Sep 26 01:22:28 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS: Made a few changes to OS.h and OS.i to stop compiler
	  warnings.  Thanks to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for
	  reporting this.

	* ace/config-chorus.h: Added ACE_LACKS_RLIMIT and removed
 	  ACE_LACKS_SIGACTION.  Thanks to Wei Chiang
 	  <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for reporting this.

        * ace/TLI_Connector.cpp (complete): Changed the call to
 	  ACE::handle_timed_complete() to use the new parameter.

	* ace/ACE: Added an extra parameter to the call to
 	  ACE::handle_timed_complete() to indicate (at run-time) that this
 	  is being called via a TLI interface.  Thanks to the
 	  ever-vigilant Steve Huston for suggesting this.

	* tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: "ACEified" the new test program.

Thu Sep 25 23:27:38 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/config-win32.h: Error in directives: it should be "Define
 	  ACE_HAS_WINSOCK2 to 0 in your config.h file if you do *not* want
 	  to compile with WinSock 2.0.". The typo was a 1 instead of the
 	  0. Thanks to Gonzalo A. Diethelm <gonzo@ing.puc.cl> for pointing
 	  this out.

Thu Sep 25 20:33:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue.h: Changed the *_i() methods to be virtual so
 	  that we can change the queueing mechanism by subclassing from
 	  ACE_Message_Queue.  Thanks to Eric Newton <ecn@smart.net> for
 	  this suggestion.

	* ace/Timer_List_T.cpp (ACE_Timer_List_Iterator_T): Changed
 	  listParam to timer_list to keep programming style consistent...

Thu Sep 25 17:06:42 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/OS.i - ACE_OS::cond_timedwait - HP's threads return
	  EAGAIN on timeout from pthread_cond_timedwait, so adjust that
	  to ETIME.

	* tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp - will now try to find another
	  host to run the connect to.  Won't try on Win32 or VxWorks
	  though.

Thu Sep 25 15:25:53 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp,OS.cpp: moved socket_init to Object_Manager
	  ctor and socket_fini to Object_Manager dtor, to be sure that
	  WinSock gets initialized early and closed late.

	* ace/SOCK.{h,cpp}: removed dummy_ static now that the
	  Object_Manager initializes WinSock.

	  No, I'm not a Win32 wizard all of the sudden.  Thanks to
	  Irfan and Nanbor for directing these changes.

	* tests/run_tests.vxworks: commented out tests that don't run
	  productively on VxWorks: SV_Shared_Memory_Test,
	  Reactor_Exceptions_Test, SPIPE_Test, and UPIPE_SAP_Test.

Thu Sep 25 03:50:27 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/OS.i (thr_getspecific): Must restore errno if no errors have
 	  occured.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (close): Must close the message queue *before*
 	  destruction since there is no destructor for the queue.

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (fini): fini must close
 	  and unregister the acceptor. Closing the socket is simply not
 	  enough.

Thu Sep 25 01:39:47 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Containers.{i,cpp}:  Commented out all ACE_TRACE macros in
	  ACE_Unbounded_Queue<T> so that they won't cause SIGSEGV when we
	  turn the tracing on.  Unbounded_Queue is used in Object_Manager
	  which must be initialize before most of other objects.

Wed Sep 24 23:37:19 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i (thr_getspecific): On NT, added check whether
	  ::GetLastError() is NO_ERROR when ::TlsGetValue() return 0. 

Wed Sep 24 13:37:02 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/config-win32-common.h (ACE_LACKS_FORK): Added in macro to
 	  distinguish between ACE_LACKS_FORK and ACE_LACKS_EXEC. Also
 	  updated config-chorus.h, config-vxworks-ghs-1.8.h, and
 	  config-vxworks5.x-g++.h.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_WIN32CALL_RETURN && ACE_WIN32CALL): Added new
 	  macros to distinguish between Win32 calls that set GetLastError
 	  and those that set errno. Also updated ACE_OSCALL_RETURN and
 	  ACE_OSCALL such that they do not set errno to GetLastError. This
 	  is because these calls automatically set errno.

	  Updates OS.* files to reflect these changes.

	* ace/SOCK_Acceptor.cpp (shared_accept): Make sure to reset the
 	  event association inherited by the new handle.

	* ace/WFMO_Reactor.i (unbind): Added a check for invalid handles
 	  being passed in for removals.

Wed Sep 24 10:34:29 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: 
	  Under HP-UX and g++ <dl.h> must be included for dynamic loading,
	  not <cxxdl.h>; thanks to Warren Thompson (wthompson@altaira.com)
	  for helping us with this one.

Wed Sep 24 09:36:21 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Managed_Object.{h,i},Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: removed
	  ACE_Managed_Object get_object () interface.  It wasn't
	  used anywhere; it was originally intended to support preallocated
	  objects but turned out to not be necessary.  I think that it would
	  be more useful to make it possible to instantiate
	  ACE_Managed_Object instead, and have it implicitly register
	  with the ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/Timer_List_T.cpp (ACE_Timer_List_Iterator_T):
	  changed name of "list" argument ot "listParam" to resolve name
 	  conflict with STL.  Thanks to Brian Mendel for reporting this.

	* tests/run_tests.check: print out filename with error messages.

Tue Sep 23 17:11:44 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x-g++.h: 
	  Added A ACE_LACKS_TIMESPEC_T, thanks to Warren Thompson
	  (wthompson@altaira.com) for this one.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_gcc.GNU: 
	  Added a -D_REENTRANT define, to enable reentrant methods, thanks
	  to Warren Thompson (wthompson@altaira.com) and Steve Huston
	  (shuston@riverace.com) for pointing out this.

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: 
	  Added an small comment to clarify that DCE/threads must be
	  installed if threading is wanted, they are an optional product
	  for HP-UX.

Tue Sep 23 10:13:57 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: added #include of ace/Thread.h.
	  Thanks to Vladimir Schipunov <vlad@staff.prodigy.com> for
	  reporting this.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp: added #include of ace/Malloc.h.
	  Thanks to Vladimir Schipunov <vlad@staff.prodigy.com> for
	  reporting this.
 	
	* ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h: added ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_T and
	  ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR #defines.
	  Thanks to Vladimir Schipunov <vlad@staff.prodigy.com> for
	  reporting the build problem on AIX 4.1, and to
	  Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for providing these fixes.

	* ace/Token_Manager.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp}:
	  preallocate ACE_Token_Manager creation lock.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp: use ACE_Cleanup_Adapter<TYPE[COUNT]>
	  for preallocated arrays.

Mon Sep 22 16:51:44 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/OS.i (open): Changed code so that (_O_CREAT | _O_TRUNC)
 	  means CREATE_ALWAYS. Thanks to Dave Brackman
 	  (dbrackma@OhioEE.com) for pointing this out.

Mon Sep 22 11:01:28 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp, Makefile, run_tests.sh - added new
	  test to exercise ACE_SOCK_Connector focusing on fail conditions.

Mon Sep 22 07:11:21 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Block.cpp (clone): check this block's cont ()
	  instead of the new block's cont_ when cloning the continuation
	  messages.  Thanks to Eric Newton <ecn@smart.net> for tracking
	  down this problem with failing to clone continuation blocks,
	  and for providing the fix.

	* ace/OS.{h,i} (ACE_U_LongLong): added operator!=, and made args
	  const to ctor, operator/, hi, and lo member functions.

	* ace/Managed_Object.[hi]: renamed ACE_Managed_Cleanup to
	  ACE_Cleanup_Adapter because it doesn't implicitly register
	  itself with the ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/ACE.cpp: moved ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer to
	  Object_Manager.cpp because the ACE_Object_Manager should
	  always be linked into executables now, even if libACE is
	  statically linked.

	* ace/Filecache.{h,cpp},Signal.{h,cpp} preallocate locks for
	  Filecache and Signal in ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: 1) renamed ACE_Managed_Cleanup to
	  ACE_Cleanup_Adapter.  2) Moved ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer from
	  ACE.cpp to Object_Manager.cpp. 3) Added Filecache and Signal locks.

	* ace/Singleton.*: removed instance (TYPE *) member function because
	  it wasn't being used.  And, it allows us to store the contained
	  instance_ as an object instead of a pointer, saving a dynamic
	  memory allocation on construction.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: added $(MUNCHED)
	  to PRELINK, to allow applications to add libraries or object
	  files to be munched.

	* ace/stdcpp.h: stdarg.h must be #included before stdio.h on LynxOS.

Sat Sep 20 17:32:23 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp},Managed_Object.*,
	  CORBA_Handler.{h,cpp},Dump.{h,cpp},Log_Msg.cpp,OS.cpp
	  revised ACE_Object_Manager interface for preallocated objects.

	  Also, added documentation of ACE_Object_Manager interface to
	  Object_Manager.h and Managed_Object.h.

	* ace/CORBA_Handler.cpp,Dump.cpp,OS.cpp: use ACE_MT with
	  preallocated locks.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_*.GNU,wrapper_macros.GNU:
	  moved -O out of wrapper_macros.GNU and into each platform
	  file's OC[C]FLAGS to support "optimize" make flag.

	  I moved -O and similar compile flags out of CFLAGS and/or
	  CCFLAGS and into OCFLAGS and/or OCCFLAGS.  This allows the
	  ACE make system to support the "optimize" flag.  It operates
	  similar to the "debug" flag, i.e., you can set "optimize=1"
	  or "optimize=0" in your platform_macros.GNU file to enable
	  or disable optimization.  You can use the same syntax to
	  get the same effect from the "make" command line, e.g.,
	  "make optimize=1 debug=0".

	  I added optimize=1 to platform_*.GNU files that had -O, etc.,
	  in their C[C]FLAGS.  Therefore, there should be no net effect
	  from this change on any platform.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
	  I _removed_ the disabling of "debug" when "optimize=1" is
	  enabled.  This _will_ have a net effect:  if you were relying
	  on "debug" to be disabled when you enabled "optimize=1",
	  you'll be surprised.  The change supports platforms that
	  allow "debug" and "optimize" simultaneously.

	  Because I had added the disabling of "debug" recently,
	  and because "optimize=1" wasn't supported well, if at all,
	  I'd be suprised if any is actually affected by this change.

Sat Sep 20 11:47:14 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.cpp: 
	  Changed the return type to <int>, to match its declaration. The
	  intent was to error error values, which are declared as <int>
	  throughout ACE.

Sat Sep 20 08:07:36 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i (gethrtime): on Linux only, removed "volatile" qualifier
	  from declaration of local variable "now".  I don't think that
	  it's necessary.  It causes compilation failure with g++ because
	  the ACE_U_LongLong copy constructor won't take a volatile
	  argument.  Thanks to Sandro Doro <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for
	  tracking down this problem.

	* tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: reverted to test ACE_U_LongLong on
	  all platforms except WIN32.  It works properly on Linux with
	  the removal of volatile from ACE_OS::gethrtime's "now".  Thanks
	  to Sandro Doro <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for figuring this one
	  out.

Fri Sep 19 18:49:50 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h: 
	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x_g++.GNU: 
	  Added support for IRIX 6.x w/gcc, thanks to Celeste E. Copeland
	  (celeste@altaira.com) for this.

Thu Sep 18 19:33:02 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* Douglas added the following changes while going through the
	  Async_Timer_Queue.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: Factored out the code for handling
	  ualarm().

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.cpp (handle_signal): Cleanedup the logic
	  for rescheduling a ualarm() after expiring a timer.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp (signal_handler): Changed the
 	  use of ACE_DEBUG to ACE_ERROR to ensure that the call doesn't
 	  magically disappear if ACE_NDEBUG is enabled.

Fri Sep 19 18:05:48 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Changed the send() to a send_n() so that
 	  all the data gets written...

Fri Sep 19 14:52:53 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (get_handle): Can't use
	  ACE_ERROR_RETURN here because ACE_HANDLE is a void* on NT, not
	  int. 

	* examples/Reactor/Misc: Added reactors.dsp signals_1.dsp
	  signals_2.dsp. 
	
	* ace/OS.cpp (thr_exit): Commented out the call to
 	  ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit () because ACE_OS::thr_exit is actually
 	  called from ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit ().

Fri Sep 19 12:50:37 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE-INSTALL*,ace/README: added more documentation of requirement
	  for explicit main (int, char *[]) arguments and int return type
	  with ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER (on VxWorks).

Thu Sep 18 22:45:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (close): Fixed a 
	  typo: it's output_ not outout_.  Thanks to David for
	  pointing this out.

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp: Make sure to clean up
 	  all our resources (e.g., acceptor-mode and data-mode sockets)
 	  when we close down.

	* netsvcs/servers/main.cpp (main): Restored the entire contents of
 	  main().

	* tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Updated the test to use a temporary
 	  ACE_Time_Value variable that is passed to
 	  ACE_Semaphore::acquire() so that we don't have problems with
 	  reference anachronisms...  Thanks to David Levine for reporting
 	  this.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Changed over to using ACE_SPIPEs for the
 	  logging mechanism rather than ACE_FIFOs to conform to the
 	  changes to Client_Logging_Handler.

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp:
 	  Completely rewrote the Client Logging Daemon so that it uses
 	  ACE_SPIPEs by default, rather than ACE_FIFOs.  This is more
 	  portable and makes it easier to write a generic client logging
 	  daemon...  If a platform doesn't support ACE_SPIPEs, then we 
	  revert to using sockets.

Thu Sep 18 21:56:33 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>
	  
	* ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit): Masked out codes that relate
	  to freeing TSS keys and remove key entries from TSS cleanup
	  table.  I removed it here to avoid race condition.
	  (ACE_TSS_Cleanup::free_all_key_left): Added this function to
	  free all left over TSS keys and remove them from TSS cleanup
	  table when the program exits.  It is only called from
	  ACE_OS::cleanup_tss. 
	  (ACE_OS::cleanup_tss):  Added call to
	  ACE_TSS_Cleanup::free_all_key_left when ACE_WIN32 or
	  ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION are defined.
	
Thu Sep 18 16:30:24 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Semaphore_Test: protected declarations of test_timeout_count
	  and timeouts because they're not used on Solaris.

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp: added template
	  instantiations.

Thu Sep 18 09:04:40 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Dynamic: Changed the way ACE_Dynamic worked. Instead of
 	  keeping the "this" pointer of the object in question, we are now
 	  simply keeping a flag that indicates whether the object was
 	  dynamically created. The trick to this approach is to make sure
 	  to reset the flag in the constructor. The "this" pointer
 	  approach was broken when used with multiple inheritance, because
 	  of "shearing" of the "this" pointer to get to the base
 	  Svc_Handler class.

Thu Sep 18 01:12:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.8, released Thu Sep 18 01:12:36 1997.

Wed Sep 17 22:47:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE: Added two new varargs methods for send() and recv().
  	  These are modeled after the ones that are in, e.g., ACE_SOCK_IO.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (open): In the UNICODE version the compiler
	  complains about mixed wchar/char usage in Log_Msg.cpp:

	  Log_Msg.cpp(468) : error C2665: 'ACE_INET_Addr::ACE_INET_Addr' :
	  none of the 8 overloads can convert parameter 1
	  from type 'const unsigned short *' 

	  I fixed it modifing the connect() call from

	  status = con.connect (*ACE_Log_Msg_message_queue,
                                ACE_INET_Addr (logger_key));
 
          to

	  status = con.connect (*ACE_Log_Msg_message_queue,
                                ACE_INET_Addr
				(ACE_MULTIBYTE_STRING(logger_key)));

          Thanks to Dieter Quehl <dietrich.quehl@med.siemens.de> for
	  reporting this.				

	* ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple.h: By default, we want the flags to
 	  perform a SEM_UNDO.  Thanks to Sandro Doro
 	  <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for reporting this.

	* tests/Makefile (BIN): Added Semaphore_Test.cpp to the Makefile.
	  Thanks to Sandro Doro <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for reporting
	  this.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: If you want to print a '\',
 	  you need to make it a \\...  Thanks to David for noticing this.

	* apps/JAWS/clients/Blobby/Blob_Handler.h: There was a missing
	  #include for "ace/SOCK_Stream.h".

	* netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler: Reimplemented this service
 	  so that it uses sockets on Win32 to receive logging messages
 	  from clients.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Enhanced ACE_Log_Msg::log() so that it now uses
 	  sockets on Win32 platforms to work around the lack of FIFOs.

	* ace/Log_Record.h: Revised the field layout of the ACE_Log_Record
 	  so that the length field comes first.  This is necessary for the
 	  framing mechanisms used throughout ACE in various
 	  configurations.

Wed Sep 17 15:17:38 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Filecache.cpp: ACE_Filecache::finish should check to see if
	  the file passed in is NULL before attempting to grab the
	  associated hash lock.  Reported by Samuel Melamed
	  <sam@vdo.net>.

Wed Sep 17 13:51:25 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* bin/auto_compile: 
	  I setup autoflush on the logfile, it makes debugging and non
	  crontab usage a bit easier.

Wed Sep 17 12:59:34 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Local_Name_Space_T.cpp: Fixed warnings caused by SEH macros.

Wed Sep 17 01:07:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.7, released Wed Sep 17 01:07:40 1997.

Tue Sep 16 23:34:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/servers/main.cpp (main): The use of braces was incorrect
 	  so that some services were being prematurely closed...

	* ace: Added a new flag called ACE_LACKS_FIFO to distinguish the
 	  (lack of) features on Win32...

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T: Added an expire() wrapper for the
	  Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter.

	* ace/OS: Added a wrapper for strpbrk() and wcspbrk().  Thanks to
 	  Bob Olson <olson@jeeves.mcs.anl.gov> and Irfan for pointing out
 	  the need for this.

Tue Sep 16 18:03:58 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* bin/auto_compile: 
	  It wouldn't report an error when run_tests.sh scream "FAILED",
	  now it does.

Tue Sep 16 08:30:28 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/OS.i: Changed a couple of ACE_UNUSED(arg) to ACE_UNUSED_ARG(arg)
	
Mon Sep 15 12:08:38 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Reactor (register_handler): Originally this interface was
 	  available for all platforms, but because ACE_HANDLE is an int on
 	  non-Win32 platforms, compilers are not able to tell the
 	  difference between
 	  register_handler(ACE_Event_Handler*,ACE_Reactor_Mask) and
 	  register_handler(ACE_Event_Handler*,ACE_HANDLE). Therefore, we
 	  have restricted this method to Win32 only.

	* ace/WFMO_Reactor.h: Removed non-Win32 version of the
 	  WFMO_Reactor. This is no longer required in the new scheme.

	* ace/XtReactor: 

	  Added remove_handler_i(const ACE_Handle_Set &,ACE_Reactor_Mask)
 	  to make the compiler happy.
	  
	  Also changed ACE_Reactor_Handle_Set to ACE_Select_Reactor_Handle_Set.
	
	* ace/Select_Reactor.cpp (ACE_Select_Reactor_Token): Added set/get
 	  select_reactor methods.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_SEH_TRY): Changed ACE_SEH_TRY from nothing to
 	  "if(1)" on non-Win32 platforms. This should stop some compilers
 	  from complaining about unreachable code.

Mon Sep 15 11:37:49 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_hpux.GNU: 
	  Added -D_REENTRANT to enable the _r functions.

Mon Sep 15 09:40:57 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* bin/auto_compile: 
	  Enabled the shared_libs_only flags to speed up compilations (and
	  reduce disk space usage).

Sun Sep 14 22:36:17 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Select_Reactor.h: Added a no-op constructor for
 	  ACE_Select_Reactor_Token to make the compiler happy.

Sun Sep 14 21:02:31 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* all Makefiles: ran "make depend" to update all ACE Makefiles.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x-32_sgic++.GNU,
	  platform_tandem.GNU: added debug = 1, to disable ACE_NDEBUG.

	* ace/Acceptor.cpp: added #include of ace/Handle_Set.h so that
	  it will compile on g++/Solaris.

	* ace/Managed_Object.h: added #include of ace/OS.h because
	  ACE_Cleanup class is used.

	* ace/Managed_Object.cpp: only #include ace/Synch.h if
	  ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SOURCE is not defined.  The #include
	  appears to be necessary with Digital Unix.  But, it causes
	  inline functions warnings with g++, both with inlining
	  enabled and disabled.  Circular #includes are evil :-)

	* ace/Select_Reactor.h: removed "," at end of DEFAULT_SIZE
	  enum definition.

	* ace/Select_Reactor.i (register_handler): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGS.

	* ace/Select_Reactor.i: moved ACE_Select_Reactor::size () after
	  ACE_Select_Reactor_Handler_Repository::size () to prevent use
	  before definition.

	* ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: added template instantiation.
	
	* ace/Svc_Conf_y.cpp: commented out unused args and wrapped
	  assignments in "if" conditionals to avoid g++ warnings.

	* ace/Token_Manager.h: inserting missing "public" access control
	  specifier for ACE_Cleanup.

	* ace/OS.{h,cpp} (gethrtime, Linux only): inlined and added Alpha
	  support.

	* ace/config-linux*.h: only define ACE_HAS_PENTIUM if i386 is defined.

Sun Sep 14 10:35:57 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Reactor: The Reactor classes (ACE_Reactor and ACE_ReactorEx)
 	  have changed.  The motivation for this change was to allow users
 	  to program abstractly and use the most efficient implementation
 	  available on their platform.  At the same time, we wanted to
 	  make the changes required by the users kept to a minimal.  

	  Here is a layout of the new Reactor hierarchy in ACE (an example
 	  of the GOF Bridge Pattern).  Thanks to Thomas Jordan
 	  (Thomas_Jordan@deluxedata.com) for suggesting this new design.

			 Select_Reactor         WFMO_Reactor

	  Reactor: 

	    The Reactor class now becomes an interface class that contains
 	    a pointer to an implementation class. All methods of the
 	    Reactor class forward all calls to the appropriate
 	    implementation class.  Users can pass in their own
 	    implementation class.  If an implementation class is not
 	    supplied at creation time, the following default rules apply:
	  
	    On non-Win32 platforms: An instance of the Select_Reactor
 	    class will be created and used as the implementation.

	    On Win32 platforms: An instance of the WFMO_Reactor class will
 	    be created and used as the implementation.  This default
 	    behavior can be overwritten at compile-time by setting the
 	    ACE_USE_SELECT_REACTOR_FOR_REACTOR_IMPL flag. In this case, an
 	    instance of the Select_Reactor class will be created and used
 	    as the implementation.
	    
	  Reactor_Impl: 

	     Reactor_Impl is an abstract class (i.e., the Bridge).
  	     Select_Reactor and WFMO_Reactor inherit from this class.

	  Select_Reactor:
	  
	     Previously known as the Reactor class.  This class implements
 	     the Reactor_Impl interface by using the select() system
 	     call. This implementation is available on all platforms
	     (including Win32).

	  WFMO_Reactor:

	     WFMO (Wait For Multiple Objects) Reactor, previously known as
 	     the ReactorEx class.  This class implements the Reactor_Impl
 	     interface by using the WaitForMultipleObjects() system call.
  	     This implementation is currently only available on Win32
	     platforms. 

	  Code changes for users:
    	
	     The higher authorities of ACE have decided that ReactorEx was
 	     a "goofy" name and made little sense in the new hierarchy.
  	     Therefore users using the old ReactorEx will have to change
 	     over to start using the Reactor class (and make sure that the
 	     implementation class being used is WFMO_Reactor).
	     
	     Also users that have extended Reactor or ReactorEx must
	     now subclass from Select_Reactor or WFMO_Reactor,
	     respectively. 
	
	* ace/ReactorEx: 

	  The ReactorEx interface has been extended to be identical to the
 	  Reactor interface.  Some of these new operations will not be
 	  supported in this version.  However, we will have interface
 	  compatability at this point. This allows the creation of the new
 	  Reactor hierarchy in ACE.

	  Removed all static (singleton) methods from ReactorEx. These are
 	  not necessary anymore since ReactorEx will become an
 	  implementation class. Reactor will take over this functionality.

	  Changed methods names from resume_all to resume_handlers and
 	  suspend_all to suspend_handlers. This increases the similarity
 	  between ReactorEx and Reactor.

	  Add a lock_adapter so that we can return an ACE_Lock form of our
	  internal lock.

	  Added signal handling capabilities to ReactorEx.

	  Added handler, requeue_position, mask_ops, and ready_ops
 	  operations.  However, they are not supported in this
 	  version. They are mostly here for interface compatibility with
 	  Reactor.

	  Added a size() accessor that returns the current size of the
 	  ReactorEx's internal descriptor table.

	  Added an initialized() accessor that returns true if ReactorEx
 	  has been successfully initialized, else false.

	* ace/Reactor: 

	  The Reactor interface has been extended to be identical to the
 	  ReactorEx interface.  Some of these new operations will not be
 	  supported in this version.  However, we will have interface
 	  compatability at this point. This allows the creation of the new
 	  Reactor hierarchy in ACE.

	  Added resume_handler(ACE_Handle_Set &) and
 	  suspend_handler(ACE_Handle_Set &) to the Reactor.  This
 	  increases the similarity between ReactorEx and Reactor.

	  Add a lock_adapter so that we can return an ACE_Lock form of our
 	  internal lock. This changes the signature of the return type
 	  from ACE_Reactor_Lock to ACE_Lock.

	  Added a size() accessor that returns the current size of the
 	  Reactor's internal descriptor table.

	  Added wakeup_all_thread() operation. Currently it just does a
 	  notify.  

	  Added alertable_handle_events() operation.  Currently it just
	  calls handle_events().
	
	  Added register_handler (that take event handles) operations.
  	  However, they are not supported in this version. They are mostly
 	  here for interface compatibility with ReactorEx.

	* ace/XtReactor: Now inherits from Select_Reactor instead of
 	  Reactor.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: Removed the inclusion of Time_Value.h. This
 	  file does not exist anymore

	* ace/Synch_T (ACE_Lock_Adapter): Changed the implementation of
 	  the adapter such that the user is allowed to (optionally) pass
 	  in the locking mechanism.

	* ace/Strategies: Removed ACE_ReactorEx_Notification_Strategy.

	* ace/Service_Config: Updated Service_Config so that all ReactorEx
 	  and Proactor methods are removed. ReactorEx does not exist any
 	  longer and Proactor methods are available as statics methods on
 	  the Proactor class.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_DEFAULT_SELECT_REACTOR_SIZE): Changed
 	  ACE_DEFAULT_REACTOR_SIZE to ACE_DEFAULT_SELECT_REACTOR_SIZE.
  	  There is no default size dictated by the Reactor class anymore.

	* ace/Local_Tokens,Token: Added new methods: acquire_read,
 	  acquire_write, tryacquire_read, tryacquire_write.  These methods
 	  allow the Tokens to be used by the ACE_Lock_Adapter class.

	* ace/Handle_Set.h (MAXSIZE): Changed ACE_DEFAULT_REACTOR_SIZE to
 	  ACE_DEFAULT_SELECT_REACTOR_SIZE.  There is no default size
 	  dictated by the Reactor class anymore.

	* ace/Event_Handler: Removed the Proactor and ReactorEx pointers
 	  from Event_Handler.  The Proactor has its own event handler
	  (ACE_Handler), and the ReactorEx does not exist anymore.

	* ace/Proactor: 

	  Changed Proactor to work with the new Reactor.

	  Updated Proactor to bring it upto date with the recent changes
 	  to the Timer_Queue.

        * tests: 

	  Removed the ACE_NEW_THREAD macro. With the new thread adapter,
 	  the log stream for the new thread will automatically be set to
 	  the creator thread's stream.  Therefore, this macro is not
 	  needed.	

	  Removed the inclusion of Service_Config.h. All tests are now
 	  accessing the singletons that are supported by the class directly.

	* examples/Reactor/Proactor: Updated examples to use and access
 	  the new Reactor class instead of the old ReactorEx.

	* examples/Reactor/ReactorEx: Updated examples to use and access
 	  the new Reactor class instead of the old ReactorEx.

Sun Sep 14 09:50:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Singleton.i (ACE_Singleton): Moved the definition of the
 	  ACE_Singleton default constructor into the *.i file.  In
 	  general, it's not a good idea to put definitions in *.h files.

	* tests/test_config.h: Improved the #undef scheme for ACE_NDEBUG.

Sat Sep 13 23:51:55 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@dingo.wolfpack.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE_Library.{mak,mdp}: Removed Service_Record.cpp and added
	  Service_Type.cpp in project file.
	
	* ace/:  Removed ace.{mak,mdp} and replaced them with
	  ACE_Library.{mak,mdp}.  MSVC 4.2 insists to change the release
	  version DLL from our original setting "ace.{dll,lib}" to "ACE
	  dynamic Library.{dll,lib}".  This is so far the only known
	  method to get around this.
	
	* netsvcs/servers/servers.{dsw,dsp}: Changed the output filenames
	  of debug version from maind.exe to main.exe.
	
	* netsvcs/lib/netsvcs.{dsw,dsp}: Changed the output filenames of
	  debug version from netsvcsd.{dll,lib} to netsvcs.{dll,lib}.
  
	* ace/ace.dsw:
	* ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Removed Service_Record.cpp and added
 	  Service_Type.cpp.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (open): Fixed a typo.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp: Fixed a typo.

Sat Sep 13 17:23:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.6, released Sat Sep 13 17:23:22 1997.

Sat Sep 13 12:11:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests: #include "test_config.h" before all the other files so
 	  that we always have the ACE_ASSERT enabled...  Thanks to Carlos
 	  for noticing this.
 
	* ace/Reactor.cpp: Added Arturo's improvements for suspending and
	  resuming Event_Handlers.

        * tests/Reactors_Test.cpp: As a result of the new changes to
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager, the Reactors_Test now seems to be working
 	  fine.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (append_thr): When we append a new
 	  Thr_Descriptor make sure to zero-out the cleanup_info_ fields
 	  since otherwise horrible things will happen...  

	* ace/Reactor: Added a new ACE_Reactor_Handle_Set called
 	  suspend_set_ and updated the suspend_i() and resume_i() method
 	  to use this set to store the ready bits that are enabled when we
 	  suspend and resume and Event_Handler, respectively.  Thanks to
 	  Arturo for this suggestion.

	* tests/TSS_Test.cpp (main): Had to move the allocation and
 	  deletion of TSS_Error into the ACE_HAS_THREADS section since
 	  otherwise this test doesn't work when threading is disabled.

	* tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp: Move the template specialization
 	  inside of the ACE_HAS_THREADS macro since otherwise this test
 	  doesn't work when threading is disabled.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Arrgh!  Must initialize the cleanup_info
 	  fields to 0 in the constructor for ACE_Thread_Descriptor!  This
 	  should fix a nasty bug...

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Continued to improve the
 	  documentation in the test of the ACE_Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.cpp (schedule): Oops, must pass &this->mask_
 	  to ACE_Sig_Set rather than this->mask_.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp: Changed #include
 	  "ace/Service_Repository.h" to #include "ace/Service_Config.h"
 	  since we now call ACE_Service_Config::close().

	* ace/Service_Types: Removed a nasty circular dependency by simply
 	  having each of the ACE_Service_Type_Impl subclasses take const
 	  void *'s rather than their specific type (i.e., ACE_Stream or
 	  ACE_Module, etc.).  This turns out not to be a problem since we
 	  treated them as const void *'s internally anyhow...

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp: Fixed a bug in ACE_DLL_Strategy:

	  ACE_Service_Type_Impl stp = new ACE_Service_Object_Type (svc_handler, this->svc_name_);

	  should be

	  ACE_Service_Type_Impl *stp = new ACE_Service_Object_Type (svc_handler, this->svc_name_)

	  I wonder how this ever compiled?!

Fri Sep 12 13:26:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Mem_Map.cpp (close): Removed the following code in the
	  close() method that appears to be redundant with the code in 
	  unmap():

	      if (this->file_mapping_ != this->handle_
	          && this->file_mapping_ != ACE_INVALID_HANDLE)
		ACE_OS::close (this->file_mapping_);

          Also cleaned up the close() code so that it doesn't try to close
 	  the handle multiple times, even if close() is called more than
 	  once.  Thanks to Beged-Dov <begeddov@proaxis.com> for reporting
 	  this.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Improved the structure of the
 	  program and finished implementing the new feature that makes it
 	  possible to avoid blocking SIGQUIT.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T: Added support for an ACE_Sig_Set that can be
 	  passed into the constructor of ACE_Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter.
  	  This will enable us to selectively block only certain signals.

	* ace/Signal: Added a new constructor for ACE_Sig_Set that takes
 	  ACE_Sig_Set * and also improved the documentation of the
 	  constructor interfaces.

Fri Sep 12 13:46:04 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.[hi],Log_Msg.h,config-lynxos.h,
	  include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added LynxOS port,
 	  provided by Dave Mayerhoefer <davem@lynx.com>.  Note how few
 	  files were affected.  What's even more amazing is the very small
 	  number, 8, of very minor code changes to OS.[hi] and Log_Msg.h.
  	  This is a tribute to the maturity of
	  <a href="http://www.lynx.com>LynxOS</a>, a POSIX-conforming,
	  multiprocess, and multithreaded real-time operating system.
	  And to the maturity of ACE.

Fri Sep 12 12:53:20 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added
	  ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR.

	* ace/Managed_Object.cpp: added #include "ace/Synch.h".

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp: added #include "ace/Service_Types.h".

	Thanks to James Johnson for the three fixes above.

	* ace/Service_Types.cpp: #include Service_Types.i instead of
	  Service_Record.i.

	* ace/Synch_T.cpp: added #include "ace/Log_Msg.h".  I don't know
	  what change caused this to be necessary, but tests/TSS_Test
	  wouldn't build without it.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (instance): preallocate ACE_Log_Msg instance lock.

Thu Sep 11 21:07:25 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Service_Object.h: Moved the ACE_Service_Type class into the
 	  Service_Object.h file since this is "publically" visible to
 	  applications.

	* ace/Service_Types.h: Improved the documentation of the
 	  ACE_Service_Type subclass implementations.

	* ace/Service_Types: Changed the name next_ to link_ to be
 	  consistent with the accessor name.

	* ace: Renamed Service_Record.{h,i,cpp} to Service_Types.{h,i,cpp}
 	  to reflect the recent change in names.

	* ace/Service_Object.h: Renamed ACE_Service_Type to
 	  ACE_Service_Type_Impl and ACE_Service_Record to ACE_Service_Type
 	  in order to emphasize the use of the Bridge pattern.  Thanks to
 	  Eric Newton for motivating this.

	* ace/Svc_Conf.y: Removed the warning about Service name being
 	  different from Module name.  I'm not sure why this was
 	  complaining in the first place.  Thanks to Eric Newton for
 	  pointing this out.

	* netsvcs/lib/README: The entry point for the time service client
 	  is _make_ACE_TS_Clerk_Processor and not
 	  _make_ACE_TS_Clerk_Connector.  Thanks to Ivan for pointing this
 	  out.

Thu Sep 11 10:59:12 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

	* ace/Connector.cpp (handle_output): Increased the idle time
	  before we check the status of a non-blocking connection from 1
	  ms to 35 ms when ACE_HAS_BROKEN_NON_BLOCKING_CONNECTS is
	  defined (i.e., Win32.)  This is very odd but wait a whole lot
	  longer seems to solve the problem.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (close): On Win32, ACE_Log_Msg_Manager needs to
	  delete main thread's ACE_Log_Msg instance also.
	
Thu Sep 11 10:37:00 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE.cpp: 
	* ace/INET_Addr.cpp: 
	* ace/Log_Msg.h: 
	* ace/Memory_Pool.h: 
	* ace/OS.h: 
	* ace/OS.i: 
	* ace/Parse_Node.cpp: 
	* ace/Strategies_T.h: 
	* bin/clone.cpp: 
	* netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Dump_Restore.h: 
	  I checked the use of MAXNAMELEN vs. MAXPATHLEN; all buffers
	  intended to keep full filenames should have at least
	  MAXPATHLEN+1 chars.
	  Only buffers that will keep basenames (without any directories)
	  should have MAXNAMELEN+1 bytes.
	  I also added a new macro ACE_MAX_FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAME_LEN which
	  is the maximum number of characters for a fully qualified
	  internet hostname.
	  There remain one obscure usage of these macros in ace/Malloc.h
	  and Local_Naming_Space_T.{h,cpp}, but a quick fix broke
	  something, I will try again soon.

Thu Sep 11 08:52:36 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp (thr_key_detach): check to see if the
	  ACE_TSS_Cleanup lock has been constructed, and not
	  destructed, before attempting to use it.  Statics are evil.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (~ACE_Log_Msg): release guard before calling
	  ACE_Log_Msg_Manager::close (), because that deletes the lock.

	* ace/Managed_Object.{h,cpp} (get_object): changed type of "id"
	  to int because it will often be passed an enum.  Pass "id" by
	  value to get_object (int id), for preallocated objects.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: added ACE_LOG_MSG_INSTANCE_LOCK,
	  and ACE_PREALLOCATE_OBJECT macro.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: ignore shared_libs_only
	  in modules that only build a static lib.  Fixed shared_libs_only
	  by removing OBJDIRS, unless BIN is undefined, and VDIR.  Removed
	  SHOBJ from both shared_libs_only and static_libs_only because
	  they're unused.

	* include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: added lib*.*_pure* to
	  clean.local target, to remove Purified libraries.

	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/Makefile,
	  examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Makefile:
	  removed -L./ from LDFLAGS because it's redundant:
	  wrapper_macros.GNU adds it.

Wed Sep 10 22:58:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (exit): Reordered the code so that it
 	  will keep the lock held long enough to copy out the thread exit
 	  hook but will release the lock before calling this hook.

Wed Sep 10 11:04:08 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-sunos5.5-g++.h: added
	  ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_THR_EXIT_SEMANTICS.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added PIC= with
	  static_libs_only, and added list of supported make flags.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added support for
	  debug=0, etc.  Also, made debug, optimize, and profile
	  flags independent instead of exclusive.  Thanks to Per
	  Andersson for suggesting this.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_*.GNU: replaced "CFLAGS +=
	  $(DCFLAGS) with debug=1 so that debugging can easily be
	  disabled.  Thanks to Per Andersson and James CE Johnson
	  for noticing this deficiency.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: removed
	  "-I. -I$(ACE_ROOT)" from CFLAGS because it duplicates the
	  INCLDIRS set in wrapper_root.GNU.

Wed Sep 10 10:35:06 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.5, released Wed Sep 10 10:35:06 1997.

Wed Sep 10 10:25:41 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (exit): copy the thread exit hook before
	  releasing the guard, and call it after releasing the guard.

	* examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp (spawn): added (char *)
	  cast of slave_name () to avoid compilation warnings on Solaris.

Wed Sep 10 00:43:04 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@dingo.wolfpack.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Makefile: Added Managed_Object to template sources.
	
	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: * ace/Managed_Object.{h,cpp}:
 	  Separate ACE_Managed_Object to a new set of file.

Tue Sep  9 23:41:56 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Reactors_Test.cpp (main): Check to see if wait() returns
	  -1 and then test to see what's gone wrong!

	* ace/OS.h: Added a "fake" #define for SIGALRM so that programs
 	  will *compile* on platforms like Chorus.  Thanks to Wei Chiang
 	  for reporting this.

	* examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp (spawn): HP/UX doesn't
 	  seem to like const char *const argv[] being given an initializer
 	  list.  I've fixed this to be just plain ol' char *argv[].
  	  Thanks to Sandro Doro for reporting this.

	* ace/Handle_Set.i (clr_bit): Replaced SOCKET with ACE_SOCKET so
 	  this will compile on UNIX.

Tue Sep 09 17:16:21 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Proactor: Updated Proactor to bring it upto date with the
 	  recent changes to the Timer_Queue.

	* ace/Handle_Set.i (clr_bit and set_bit): These methods now change
 	  the size_ member of the class on Win32.  This is necessary since
 	  the ACE_Handle_Set::operator fd_set *() accessor has been
 	  optimized for size_ == 0.

Tue Sep 09 09:14:07 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp (cleanup_tss): On WIN32 and with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION,
	  delete the ACE_TSS_Cleanup instance instead of registering it for
	  cleanup via the ACE_Object_Manager's at_exit ().  This should allow
	  applications to use ACE_Log_Msg in their at_exit () hooks.  Thanks
	  to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for reporting this problem.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: added guard of internal structures.
	  (dtor): call at_exit hooks before calling cleanup_tss, now that
	  the ACE_TSS_Cleanup instance is no longer registered for an at_exit
	  call.  (at_exit): set errno instead of returning different values
	  on error.  Added ACE_Managed_Object template class, intended for
	  use in replacing static instances.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (exit): release guard before running the
	  thread exit hooks.  This should help avoid deadlocks, in case
	  one of those hooks needs to operate on the Thread_Manager.

	* ace/CORBA_Handler.{h,cpp},Dump.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp}:
	  preallocate locks for CORBA_Handler and Dump in ACE_Object_Manager.
	  Statics are evil.

	* ace/Synch.{h,cpp},OS.cpp,Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: removed
	  ACE_TSS_Cleanup_Lock and replaced it with a preallocated mutex
	  in OS.cpp.  Thanks to Nanbor for reporting problems at shutdown
	  with the old ACE_TSS_Cleanup_Lock static instance.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: when building
	  libraries only, don't use CC to create individual .shobj/*.so
	  files.  The .so files are not needed to build libraries, because
	  libraries are built with -G.  (They are needed to avoid upsetting
	  the ACE make rules, so they're created as links to their
	  corresponding .o files.)  The .so files are still needed when
	  building executables in order to get all template instantiations.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_g++.GNU: removed unused
	  SOLINK definitions.

Mon Sep  8 18:38:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp: It is possible for the order to get
 	  the handles (using the iterator) will not agree with insert
 	  order in ACE_Unbounded_Queue. It's best to use
 	  ACE_Unbounded_Set.  Thanks to Arturo for this fix.

Mon Sep  8 17:43:43 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_{List,Wheel,Hash,Heap}_T.cpp: The iter() method now 
	  returns a pointer to an iterator that is in a reset state 
	  instead of an unknown one.

Mon Sep  8 14:05:15 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE.cpp (read_adapter): Removed ACE_Thread_Control object in
	  this function.  This is now taken care of by ACE_Thread_Manager.
	  (register_stdin_handler): This function no longer uses
	  ACE_Stdin_Args to pass in thread manager into read_adapter.  

	* ace/ACE.h (ACE): Removed class ACE_Stdin_Args, because it is no
	  longer needed.

Mon Sep 08 11:49:02 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/run_tests.sh: moved log file checks out to separate file,
	  run_tests.check.

	* tests/run_tests.vxworks: added one-button test for VxWorks.
	  Check it out, Darrell.

	* ace/Filecache.cpp: commented out unused constants [RW]COPY_FLAGS.

Mon Sep 08 08:26:52 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.4, released Mon Sep 08 08:26:52 1997.

Sat Sep  6 10:41:17 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Malloc.h: 
	  sizeof() must be casted to int in ACE_CONTROL_BLOCK_ALIGN_LONGS
	  otherwise unsigned int arithmetic is used, thus obtaining
	  unexpected results.

Sat Sep 06 09:07:02 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* OS.{h,cpp}: added ACE_Cleanup base class and
	  ace_cleanup_destroyer adapter.

	* Object_Manager.*: added at_exit () interface for ACE_Cleanup objects.

	* Singleton.{h,cpp},Token_Invariants.{h,cpp},Token_Manager.{h,cpp}:
	  base on ACE_Cleanup, so that simpler ACE_Object_Manager::at_exit ()
	  can be used.

	* performance-tests/Misc/Makefile: moved $(BIN) files from FILES
	  to SRC so that they don't get put into libPerf.

Sat Sep  6 02:36:31 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/test_config.h (set_output): Added openning flag ios::trunc
 	  explicitly if we are not appending to the opening ofstream.
  	  This is required by standard CPP iostream libraries on NT (i.e.,
	  we can't use ios::out alone when ofstream.open a file.)

Sat Sep  6 00:21:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

         * ace/Synch_T.h: Added new constructors:

	   ACE_Guard(ACE_LOCK& l) : lock_(&l)
	   { this->owner_ = this->acquire(); }

	   ACE_Read_Guard(ACE_LOCK& m) : ACE_Guard(&m)
	   { this->owner_ = this->acquire_read(); }

	   ACE_Write_Guard(ACE_LOCK& m) : ACE_Guard(&m)
	   { this->owner_ = this->acquire_write(); }

	   Remove default argument to current Guard classes.

	   ACE_Guard(ACE_LOCK&l, int block)
	   ACE_Read_Guard(ACE_LOCK& m, int block)
	   ACE_Write_Guard(ACE_LOCK&m, int block)
	   with the current semantic.

	   This change allows OS platforms with
	   ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION or ACE_HAS ??? PRAGMA
	   ???, to> invoke common case constructor in a more efficient
	   way.  Thanks to Arturo for this.

	* ace/Synch_T.h: ACE_Guard's destructor should be:

	  ~ACE_Guard() { this->release(); }

	  and not

	  ~ACE_Guard() { if (this->owner_ != -1) this->release(); }

	  because ACE_Guard::release has this test.  Thanks to Arturo for
 	  reporting this.

	* ace/ARGV.cpp: Declared the char* parameters for the ACE_ARGV
 	  class constructors as const.  Since they are copied in the
 	  constructors, this is a safe thing to do.  This makes it easier
 	  to pass the result of string::c_str() to it.  Thanks to Stephen
 	  Coy <stevec@magna.com.au> for this suggestion.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: We were missing a Guard in the
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager::at_exit() method.

	* ace/config-sunos5.5-sunc++-4.x.h: It appears that we need to set
	  ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_THR_EXIT_SEMANTICS for Solaris 2.5 since otherwise
	  wierd things happen randomly.  This is based on the following man
	  page entry for pthread_exit():
	  
	  Do not call pthread_exit() from a cancellation cleanup handler
 	  or destructor function that will be invoked as a result of
 	  either an implicit or explicit call to pthread_exit().

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (run_thread_exit_hooks): Once the cleanup
 	  hook(s) are called we set the value of the cleanup hook variable
 	  to 0 to avoid false matches later on.

Fri Sep  5 21:57:44 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Containers.i (is_empty): 
	* ace/Malloc.cpp (instance): Commented out ACE_TRACE in these
	  routines.  They were causing recursive call if we used TRACE.
	  Thanks to Craig Perras <craig.perras@CyberSafe.COM> for solving
	  this. 

	* ace/Handle_Set.i (fd_set *): Added conditional compilation code
	  for Win32 platforms.  This is because we don't maintain <size_>
	  on Win32 and, therefore, can't depend on it.

Fri Sep  5 19:05:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp (main): moved delete
 	  signal_catcher into the ACE_HAS_THREADS part of the main()
 	  function.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp (check_handles): When handle_error was optimized
 	  with fstat we put NULL value to second argument.  It requires a
 	  value to SCO OpenServer to work.  Therefore, I added struct stat
 	  temp and changed ACE_OS::fstat(handle, NULL) by
 	  ACE_OS::fstat(handle, &temp);  Thanks to Arturo for fixing this.

	* examples/Threads/process_manager.cpp (sig_handler): Fixed a bug
 	  where the thread was exiting if no more children existed.
  	  Thanks to Avraham Nash <ANash@Engagetech.com> for reporting
 	  this.

	* ace/Handle_Set: Added the following performance enhancements:

	  . Assignment operator to optimize size == 0.

	  . min_handle to manage the case when the Handle_Set start in
	    handle different of zero.

	  . A new iterator algorithm tuned for select function calls.

	  Thank to Arturo for these enhancements.

	* ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h: Added ACE_LACKS_TIMESPEC_T.  Thanks to
 	  Rob Head (rhead@virtc.com) for reporting this.

	* ace/OS.cpp (fork_exec): Changed the logic so that we don't
 	  create a new console window on Win32.  This isn't done on UNIX,
 	  so there's no point in doing it here.  Thanks to Jeff Richard
 	  <jrichard@OhioEE.com> for pointing this out.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp: The call to
 	  ACE_Reactor_Handler_Repository::open() in the constructor of
 	  ACE_Reactor should check for == -1!  Thanks to Brian Mendel for
 	  reporting this.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp (remove_handler): Fixed a braino where the
 	  conditional compile for NSIG should have been > 0 rather than ==
 	  0.  Thanks to fixing this codeKaren Amestoy
 	  <kamestoy@CCGATE.HAC.COM> for reporting this fix.

Fri Sep 05 16:17:50 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp: added command line options,
	  and explanation on how to interpret the results.

Thu Sep 04 10:26:11 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp: (tss_open): removed paren from around type in "new"
	  statement, because GHS (and ANSI C++) compilers will choke on it.
	  Thanks to Brian Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com> for reporting
	  this.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: (ACE_Thread_Descriptor ctor): zero out
	  cleanup_hook_ in cleanup_info_ because we read it later on.
	  (dump): added guard because thr_table_ is accessed.  (wait):
	  hacked in thr_yield () to give waited threads a chance to clean
	  up before continuing.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_Cleanup_Info): added default ctor.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (close): delete main thread's Log_Msg instance,
	  on Solaris if ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS is not defined, because main
	  thread TSS dtors apparently don't get called.

	* ace/Token_Manager.{h,cpp}: register ACE_Token_Manager singleton
	  for deletion with ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/Token_Invariants.{h,cpp}: register ACE_Token_Invariant_Manager
	  singleton for deletion with ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/Naming_Context.cpp (close) moved deletion of "name_options_"
	  from dtor to close (), because when Service_Repository is closed,
	  it calls close () instead of deleting the service.

	* ace/Process_Strategy.cpp (handle_signal): suppress printouts during
	  shutdown, to prevent using ACE_Log_Msg while it's being deleted.

	* ace/Timer_List.cpp: replace ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex with
	  ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_MUTEX, for non-threaded platforms.

	* tests/Reactors_Test (~Test_Task): moved ASSERT after the printout,
	  so we can see why it failed.  (svc): added printout with thread ID.
	  (main): deleted reactor at end of test to prevent leak.

	* tests/SPIPE_Test (client): increased sleep time to 10 sec,
	  because a long delay is needed with Purify.

	* tests/UPIPE_Test (connector): added 5 second sleep to give
	  acceptor a chance to start up.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added -max_threads=100 to
	  Quantify options.

	* include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: added *.sym to clean target.

Thu Sep 04 09:39:08 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.3, released Thu Sep 04 09:39:08 1997.

Thu Sep 04 08:48:13 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added shared_libs_only
	  and static_libs_only build options.  Only static_libs_only
	  has been tested successfully.
	
	* include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: added INSTALL support for
	  shared_libs_only and static_libs_only.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks*.GNU: use static_libs_only.

	* ace/OS.cpp: moved tss_open ()/tss_close () calls from invoke ()
	  to ace_thread_adapter.

	* examples/Threads/auto_event.cpp,manual_event.cpp,
	  process_manager.cpp,reader_writer.cpp,tss2.cpp:
	  cast spawn entry point to ACE_THR_FUNC.

	* examples/Threads/task_four.cpp (Invoker_Task): rearranged
	  initializers to match declaration order.

	* examples/Threads/thread_specific.cpp (worker): use
	  ACE_OS::printf () instead of printf (), and print out the
	  ACE_hthread_t instead of the ACE_thread_t.

	* examples/IPC_SAP/SPIPE_SAP/client.cpp,consumer_msg.cpp,
	  consumer_read.cpp,producer_msg.cpp,producer_read.cpp,server.cpp:
	  moved #include of shared.h inside ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES protection
	  to avoid compilation warnings on unsupported platforms.
	
	* examples/Reactor/Ntalker/ntalker.cpp (main): removed unused "argc".

	* examples/*/*.cpp,netsvcs/clients/Tokens/mutex/test_mutex.cpp:
	  added args to main ().

Wed Sep  3 21:38:18 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h: 
	  IRIX uses pthread_sigmask to manage per-thread signal mask,
	  thanks to Gonzalo Diethelm (gonzo@ing.puc.cl) for pointing out
	  this one.

	* ace/OS.h: 
	  Removed an initial '#' for a comment line, thanks to Gonzalo
	  Diethelm (gonzo@ing.puc.cl) for pointing out this one.

	* ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp: 
	* ace/Timer_Hash_T.h: 
	* ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp: 
	* ace/Timer_Heap_T.h: 
	* ace/Timer_List.cpp: 
	* ace/Timer_List_T.cpp: 
	* ace/Timer_List_T.h: 
	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.cpp: 
	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: 
	* ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp: 
	* ace/Timer_Wheel_T.h: 
	  In the word of its author: Modified the iterators kept in each
	  of these classes so that they are constructed dynamically on the
	  heap after the Queue has been properly initialized. Otherwise,
	  the iterators try to iterate over a non-initialized queue, and
	  fail miserably (usually dumping core).
	  Once more thanks to Gonzalo Diethelm (gonzo@ing.puc.cl) for this
	  changes.

	* tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp: 
	  Gonzalo improved the error message.

	* ace/README: 
	  Gonzalo updated the documentation for some macros.

Wed Sep 03 15:21:46 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: define ACE_TSS macros with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION,
	  and renamed some ACE_TSS_Emulation methods.

	* ace/OS.i: allow TSS_Emulation storage to be on thread stack,
	  instead of always dynamically allocating it.

	* ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): allocate TSS_Emulation
	  storage on thread stack.  (ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit): only call
	  a TSS destructor if the thread's value is non-zero.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: support TSS_Emulation.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (resize): zero out unused cleanup_hooks
	  in thr_table_; (run_thread_exit_hooks): check for zero cleanup
	  hook before calling.

	* ace/Synch_T.*: allow ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION _or_
	  ACE_HAS_THREAD_SPECIFIC_STORAGE.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: allocate main thread's TSS_Emulation
	  storage in the ACE_Object_Manager instance.

	* ace/Log_Msg.h: befriend ACE_OS::cleanup_tss () instead of
	  ACE_Object_Manager, because the cleanup path is now indirect
	  from the ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: use TSS_Emulation on VxWorks, so
	  VxWorks-specific code was removed.

	* ace/Task.cpp: removed unused #include of ace/Dynamic.h.  (It had
	  been used for template instantiations, but they were moved.)
	  Also, removed unused #include of ace/Object_Manager.h.

	* ace/Svc_Handler.{h,cpp}: register Svc_Handler singleton for
	  deletion with the ACE_Object_Manager.

	* tests/Process_Strategy_Test (Options): added a destructor so that
	  the dynamically allocated concurrency_strategy_ can be deleted.

Wed Sep  3 08:05:26 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Message_Block.h: Corrected comment on release(void) - the
	  underlying ACE_Data_Block's refcount is decremented; the 
	  ACE_Message_Block is always deleted.

Tue Sep  2 18:26:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Task: Revised the ACE_Task_Base::svc_run() method to
 	  register a thread exit hook (ACE_Task_Base::cleanup())

	* ace/Task: Added a static method called cleanup() that can serve
 	  as a thread exit hook to ensure that close() is always called
 	  when a task exits a thread.

	* ace/Thread_Manager: Added the first-cut implementation of the
 	  thread exit hooks.  This one is butt-simple -- just allowing a
 	  single hook per-thread, but that should be enough to get us over
 	  the hump...

	* ace/OS.h: Moved the object_info_t type from Object_Manager.h and
 	  renamed it to ACE_Cleanup_Info since we will use it with the
 	  Thread_Manager and the Object_Manager.

	* ChangeLog-97b: Emptied out the ChangeLog-97b file until
	  we move the ChangeLog to this file...

	* ace/OS.h: Moved the <ACE_CLEANUP_FUNC> typedef from the
 	  ACE_Object_Manager into global scope so that it can also be used
 	  by the ACE_Thread_Manager.

	* ace/DEV_IO: Moved the get_remote_addr() and get_local_addr()
 	  from the DEV class to the DEV_IO class, which seems to be more
 	  consistent with how they should be used.

	* ace/FILE_IO: Added the get_remote_addr() and get_local_addr()
 	  methods to FILE_IO.  Now we should be able to use this with the
 	  Connector pattern.  Thanks to Stephen Coy
 	  <coys@mail.ns.wsa.com.au> for reporting this.

	* ace/DEV_Connector*h, ace/FILE*.h: Added "traits" for PEER_ADDR
 	  and PEER_STREAM.  Now we should be able to use this with the
 	  Connector pattern.  Thanks to Stephen Coy
 	  <coys@mail.ns.wsa.com.au> for reporting this.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp (main): Replaced the use of
 	  fputs() with read() so that it will be signal-safe.  Thanks to
 	  Carlos for pointing out the need for this.

	* ace/Task: All the complex ACE_Task_Exit logic has been moved out
 	  of the Task file and into the Thread_Manager file.  This will
 	  both simplify and generalize the behavior of cleanups on thread
 	  exit.

Tue Sep  2 14:42:52 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-chorus.h (ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR):
	  Added this directive for Chorus uses g++.  Thanks to David
	  Levine for pointing this out. 

Mon Sep 01 21:31:25 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ChangeLog-97b,Makefile,bin/create_ace_build: ChangeLog is no longer
	  a symbolic link, but instead is the most recent ChangeLog file.
	  ChangeLog-97b was moved to ChangeLog.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.cpp (schedule): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs for act
	  and interval.

	* ace/OS.h: changed ACE_SEH_EXCEPT and ACE_SEH_FINALLY from null
	  to "while (0)" on all platforms except ACE_WIN32.  Thanks to
	  Nanbor for this bit of macro wizardry.

	* ace/OS.i (tss_base): cast VxWorks TCB spare field to a void **&
	  instead of a void **, because the function returns a reference
	  to it.

	* ace/OS.cpp: protected definition of
	  ACE_TSS_Emulation::tss_collection_ on VxWorks, where it's not used.

	* ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke) don't exit the thread
	  with TSS_EMULATION, except on WIN32.  (thr_create) On VxWorks,
	  use thread adapter as entry point instead of func (via macros).

	* ace/config-vxworks*.h: added ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION, with
	  ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_KEYS set to 16, and ACE_LACKS_UNIX_SIGNALS.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: added template instantiations.

	* tests/IOStream_Test.cpp: no longer need to dynamically allocate
	  the ACE_SOCK_IOStreams with the recent ACE_Thread_Manager changes.
	  That was causing occasional problems with unsafe deletion of the
	  underlying ostreams.  Thanks to James Johnson for consulting on
	  this intermittent (nasty) problem.

	* tests/SPIPE_Test.cpp: (main) added ACE_UNUSED_ARG of client
	  and server.

	* tests/Thread_Manager_Test (worker): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (thr_mgr)
	  if ACE_LACKS_UNIX_SIGNALS, and added template instantiations.

	* tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp: dynamically allocate the
	 signal_catcher so that we can destroy it before the main
	 thread's TSS is cleaned up.

	* tests/TSS_Test.cpp: dynamically allocate TSS_Error so that we
	  can ensure its deletion before that of ACE_Object_Manager.
	  Also, makde the code a little easier to change the number of threads.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added Purify options to
	  ignore SIGINT and set max threads to 100.

Mon Sep  1 10:53:39 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Handle_Set: Added an assignment operator that is optimized
 	  for the case when the right-hand side is 0.

	* ace/OS: The ACE_THR_C_FUNC macro was confusing for Win32.  We've
 	  replaced this with the original UNIX typedef and will just use
 	  LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE for Win32.

	* tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp (main): Revised this test so that
 	  we don't have race conditions for suspend() and resume().

	* tests/Tokens_Test.cpp (run_test): Removed the use of
 	  THR_SUSPENDED and resume_all() since this is broken due to race
 	  conditions and other hazards implicit in using suspend() and
 	  resume() on threads.

	* ace/Handle_Set.cpp: There were several ACE_INLINE methods in the
 	  Handle_Set.cpp file.  I've removed the ACE_INLINE flag.

	* tests/SPIPE_Test.cpp: If ACE doesn't have STREAM pipes on a
 	  platform (or we aren't on NT) then don't try to run this test.
  	  Thanks to James CE Johnson <ace-users@lads.com> for reporting
 	  this.

	* ace/config-sunos5.[45]-g++.h: ACE defines _REENTRANT in
	  config.h.  Application using classes of ACE can conflict by
	  using compilation option as -D_REENTRANT.  I fixed this by
	  surrounding the define as:

	  #if !defined (_REENTRANT)
	  #define _REENTRANT
	  #endif /* _REENTRANT */

	  Thanks to Jean-Marc Strauss <strauss@limeil.cea.fr> for
 	  reporting this.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T.h: We need to #include "ace/Signal.h" since
 	  our Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter needs it.  Thanks to Neil Cohen
 	  for reporting this.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp (check_handles): Optimized the check for invalid
 	  handles by using fstat() rather than select() on non-Win32
 	  platforms.  Thanks to Arturo for suggesting this optimization.

Mon Sep  1 17:52:10 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp: Changed cancel (id ...) to check for 
	  previously expired/cancelled timers

Mon Sep 01 08:43:37 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch.cpp: added #include of Object_Manager.h.
	  Thanks to Edan Ayal <edana@vdo.net> for reporting this.

Mon Sep  1 00:46:05 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@dingo.wolfpack.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/README: Added explanation for ACE_HAS_STL_MAP_CONFILICT.

	* ace/OS.h: Added conditional compilation directive
	  ACE_HAS_STL_MAP_CONFLICT.  This is used when users want to
	  compile ACE with STL library and the STL map class conflicts
	  with map structure in <net/if.h>.

	* ace/config-unixware-2.1.2-g++.h: 
	* ace/config-unixware-2.01-g++.h: 
	* ace/config-osf1-4.0-g++.h: 
	* ace/config-irix5.3-g++.h: 
	* ace/config-hpux-10.x-g++.h: 
	* ace/config-linux-pthread.h: 
	* ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h:
	* ace/config-linux.h:
	* ace/config-freebsd.h: 
	* ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: 
	  Added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR flag for all
	  config files which apparently use g++.
	
        * ace/config-vxworks-g++.h:
        * ace/config-vxworks5.x-g++.h:
        * ace/config-sunos4-g++.h:
        * ace/config-sunos5.4-g++.h:
        * ace/config-sunos5.5-g++.h: 
	  Moved ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR closer to
 	  other template-related directives.	
	
Sun Aug 31 22:56:30 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.2, released Sun Aug 31 22:56:30 1997.

Sun Aug 31 22:36:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Need to #include "Timer_List.h"
	  rather than "Timer_Queue.h".

        * ace: Added ACE_HAS_HANDLE_SET_OPTIMIZED_FOR_SELECT for all
 	  config.h files.

	* ace/Handle_Set.cpp (count_bits): Continued to optimize this
 	  method.  Now, if ACE_HAS_HANDLE_SET_OPTIMIZED_FOR_SELECT enabled
 	  it will use a very fast loop that only runs for as many bits
 	  that are enabled in the bitset.  This approach also doesn't have
 	  to access the Global Offset Table in shared libraries, which is
 	  a win.  Thanks to Arturo for contributing this.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Generalized this test to use
 	  the new ACE_Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter.

	* ace/Timer_Queue_T: Added the new ACE_Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter,
 	  which makes it possible to encapsulate any of the ACE Timer
 	  Queue mechanisms into a asynchronous signal-handling context.

	* ace/OS.i: If the platform doesn't support ualarm() (and it
	  doesn't lack UNIX signals) then we'll use alarm() rather
	  than ualarm().  Clearly, this isn't as good as ualarm(),
	  but it's better than nothing.

	* ace/OS.i: I'd missed replacing 

	  ACE_LACKS_POSIX_PROTO_FOR_SOME_FUNCS

	  with
	  
	  ACE_LACKS_POSIX_PROTOTYPES_FOR_SOME_FUNCS 
	  
	  in OS.i.  Thanks to James CE Johnson  <ace-users@lads.com> for
	  pointing this out.

Sun Aug 31 09:58:35 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* Princess Diana was killed today in a senseless auto accident in
 	  Paris, France.  This is a very tragic ending to a very promising
 	  life ahead of her.

Sun Aug 31 15:08:00 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: fixed and added some
	  ACE_UNUSED_ARG's.

	* netsvcs/clients/Tokens/invariant/invariant.cpp (run_mutex,
	    run_reader_writer),
	  netsvcs/clients/Tokens/mutex/test_mutex.cpp (run_test),
	  netsvcs/clients/Tokens/rw_lock/rw_locks.cpp (run_thread):
	  removed unused argument "vp".

	* ace/ACE.i (log2): moved "log" declaration outside of the
	  for loop because its used after the loop.

	* ace/Task.cpp (instance) only register for destruction with
	  ACE_Object_Manager when creating a new instance_.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (ACE_Thread_Control::exit) with TSS
	  emulation, don't exit the thread.  Instead,
	  ACE_Thread_Adpater::invoke () will do it after cleaning up TSS.

	* ace/Synch{h,cpp}: (ACE_TSS_Cleanup_Lock) register for
	  destruction with ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/OS.*: major cleanup of ACE_TSS_Emulation, esp. how it
	  interacts with ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit ().

Sat Aug 30 17:30:24 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* Removed these config files:
		config-hpux-10.x-aCC.h
		config-hpux-10.x-decthreads.h
		config-hpux-10.x-nothread.h
	  config-hpux-10.x-hpc++.h should be used with HP compilers on
	  HP-UX 10.x.

Sat Aug 30 14:58:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Signal.cpp (ACE_Sig_Action): Added a new constructor that
 	  also takes an ACE_Sig_Set & *and* registers the handler...

	* ace/Handle_Set.cpp (count_bits): Added a newly optimized
 	  algorithm for cases where
 	  ACE_HAS_HANDLE_SET_OPTIMIZED_FOR_SELECT.  Thanks to Arturo for
 	  this suggestion.

	* ace/config-sco-5.0.0*.h: Added ACE_HAS_LONG_FDMASK for all the
 	  SCO files.  Thanks to Arturo for suggesting this.

	* ace/Signal: Added a new mutator method to reassign an
 	  ACE_Sig_Set to an ACE_Sig_Action.

	* ace/Handle_Set.i: If the size of the fd_set is 0 then operator
 	  fd_set *() just returns 0.  This will help to optimize the
 	  performance of the Reactor.  Thanks to Arturo for suggesting
 	  this.

	* ace/Handle_Set.cpp (count_bits): Added yet another improvement
 	  to remove the "i" iterator.  Thanks to Arturo for this!

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Used the new ACE_Log_Record::priority()
 	  method in place of the type() method so that the priorities are
 	  handled correctly.

	* ace/Log_Record: Added two new methods that get/set the
 	  "priority" of an ACE_Log_Record.  This value computed as the
 	  base 2 log of the value of the corresponding ACE_Log_Priority
 	  enumeral (which are all powers of two).  We need this mapping
 	  function so that we can use the priorities as parameters to the
 	  putpmsg() function (which can only map between 0-255).  Thanks
 	  to Per Andersson for finding this stuff!

	* ace/ACE: Added a new method to compute the base2 logarithm of a
	  number.

	* Replaced all uses of ACE_Thread_Control since this is now
 	  handled by the ACE_Thread_Manager.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (spawn_i): Make sure to pass "this" to
 	  the ACE_Thread_Adapter if we're constructing it in the
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager::spawn_i() method.

	* ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): Added a special check to see if
 	  timeout != 0, in which case we just call ACE_OS::cond_wait().
  	  Therefore, VxWorks can now use ACE_OS::cond_timedwait(), as long
 	  as the timeout == 0!  This simplifies certain internal ACE code.
  	  Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out.

	* ace/Handle_Set.cpp (count_bits):  Changed the code from

          for (int i = 0; i < sizeof (u_long); i++)
            {
              rval += ACE_Handle_Set::nbits_[n & 0xff];
              n >>= 8;
            }

	  to

          for (int i = 0; n != 0; i++)
            {
              rval += ACE_Handle_Set::nbits_[n & 0xff];
              n >>= 8;
            }

	  in order to speed it up in the "best case."  Thanks to Arturo
 	  Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

	* ace/Thread.cpp (spawn_n): Added a test to make sure that the
 	  thread_ids is != 0 before we assign into this.

Fri Aug 29 22:45:21 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-vxworks-g++.h:
	* ace/config-vxworks5.x-g++.h:
	* ace/config-sunos4-g++.h:
	* ace/config-sunos5.4-g++.h:
	* ace/config-sunos5.5-g++.h: 
	  Added flag ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR to these
	  config files.
	
	* ace/README: Added explanation of flag
	  "ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR."
	  When calling a template class'es destructor explicitly, if you
	  must use "ptr->FOO<BAR>::~FOO ();" but not
	  "ptr->FOO<BAR>::~FOO<BAR> ();" then, you must add this flag to
	  your config file.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE): Added this new macro to cope
	  with the fact that compilers require different syntax when
 	  calling destructor of template classes explicitly.  This macro
	  takes four arguments, POINTER, DEALLOCATOR, CLASS, and
	  TEMPLATE_PARAMETER.  To deallocate a pointer allocated by
	  ACE_NEW_MALLOC and you need to call FOO<BAR> class'es
	  destructor, you'll write:  
	  
	    ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE (ptr, alloc->free, FOO, <BAR>);
	
	* ace/Containers.cpp: Changed to use ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE to iron
 	  out differences among compilers.

Fri Aug 29 15:31:50 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.*,Synch.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.cpp: started adding
	  support for TSS emulation.

	* ace/OS.h: declare class ostream if
	  ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp (parse_commands): fixed
	  sscanf format specifiers to match argument types; (main):
	  fixed ACE_ERROR_RETURN parens; protected bulk of code with
	  ACE_HAS_UALARM so that the test will build cleanly on
	  platforms without it.

Fri Aug 29 00:43:27 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch.cpp (wait): Simpified the call to
 	  ACE_OS::cond_timedwait() to avoid an extra test.  Thanks to
 	  Arturo for pointing this out.

	* ace/TTY_IO: Added native support for TSETA.  Thanks to Arturo for
	  this.

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp: Finished integrating the ACE_DLL_Strategy
 	  implementation, which is used in TAO.  Thanks to Satheesh Kumar
 	  MG <satheesh@india.aspectdv.com> for motivating this.

	* ace/Synch_T.h: Clarified the constructor for ACE_TSS that takes
 	  a TYPE * as an argument.  Note that this only initializes the
 	  TSS value in the *calling* thread, but not any other threads
 	  that may come along later on.  Thanks to Bob Laferriere
	  <laferrie@gsao.med.ge.com> for helping to clarify this.

	* ace/Synch_T.h: Removed stray semi-colons from some of the
 	  ACE_SYNCH_* macros.  Thanks for Wei Chiang for reporting this.

Fri Aug 29 11:40:10 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp:  Added cast for ace_thread_adapter.
	
	* ace/OS.h:  Changed name of ACE_Thread_Adapter's constructor's
	  fourth parameter from tm to tmgr since tm conflicted with
	  another tm.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: In spawn_i, changed the last parameter
	  given to spawn to thread_args.  Also had to add a cast for
	  ace_thread_adapter.

Fri Aug 29 06:44:05 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_DES_FREE): Added this macro which will call
	  designate destructor before freeing the memory.  This is a
	  matching macro that should go with ACE_NEW_MALLOC and
	  ACE_NEW_MALLOC_RETURN which allocate memory using designate
	  allocator then call the user specified constructor explicitly.

	* ace/Containers.cpp: Many memory deallocations of container's
 	  nodes were changed to use the new macro which deletes objects
 	  correctly.

	  Thanks very, very much to Ivan Murphy for torturing various
	  test programs and reporting those tests which fail the
	  excruciation.

Fri Aug 29 01:26:38 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp: Added two new methods to ReactorEx -
 	  schedule_wakeup() and cancel_wakeup().  Also fixed some bugs
 	  related to our local copy of network_events_ not getting updated
 	  properly. Thanks to Edan Ayal <edana@vdo.net> for pointing out
 	  the two missing functions.

Thu Aug 28 20:12:23 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Added a new ace_thread_manager_adapter()
 	  function, which is similar to the ace_thread_adapter function
 	  used in ACE_OS::thr_create().  However, the new function ensures
 	  that threads spawned by an ACE_Thread_Manager are automatically
 	  registered and deregistered from the Thread Manager.

	* ace/ACE.h (inherit_log_msg): Factored out the functionality to
 	  inherit the logging features if the parent thread has an
 	  ACE_Log_Msg instance in thread-specific storage.  This function
 	  is called in several places (e.g., OS.cpp and
 	  Thread_Manager.cpp), so it pays to factor it out.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_Adapter): Added a new data member that
 	  keeps track of which thread entry point function we will pass to
 	  the underlying OS thread creation routine.  The default value is
 	  ace_thread_adapter, but this can be overridden to do different
 	  things...

	* ace/OS,
	  ace/Thread: Extended thr_create() so that if an
 	  ACE_Thread_Adapter is passed to it this is used in lieu of the
 	  func and arg parameters.  This reduces the amount of dynamic
 	  allocation and indirection required with the new
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager.

	* ace/Task.h: Removed the ACE_Thread_Control data member from the
 	  ACE_Task_Exit class since it now belongs to the
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager instead...

	* ace/OS.cpp: Move the ACE_Thread_Adapter out of the OS.cpp file
	  and made it a first-class citizen of ACE.  We can put this
	  to good use in the new ACE_Thread_Manager.

	* ace/OS.cpp: The ACE_Thread_Adapter is now the default behavior
 	  in ACE.  If you don't want to use it for whatever reason,
	  you'll need to set the ACE_NO_THREAD_ADAPTER macro.

	* ace/config-sco-5.0.0-fsu-pthread.h: Added
 	  ACE_LACKS_CONST_TIMESPEC_PTR.  Thanks to Arturo for this.

	* ace/Synch.cpp (wait): Removed the reference assignment and just
 	  take the address of this->mutex_.lock_.  Also, removed the
 	  additional check for abstime == 0 in order to speed up the
 	  common case.  Thanks to Arturo for these suggestions.

Thu Aug 28 20:02:03 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3.1, released Thu Aug 28 20:02:03 1997.

Thu Aug 28 00:21:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Strategies_T.cpp (ACE_Thread_Strategy): Added reasonable
 	  values to the default constructor.  Thanks to Stephen Coy
 	  <stevec@wsa.com.au> for reporting this.

	* ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-*.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM.  Thanks to
 	  Amos Shapira <amos@gezernet.co.il> for reporting this.

	* ace/config-aix-4.*.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM.  Thanks to Cary
 	  Clark for reporting this.

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x*.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM.  Thanks to Cary
 	  Clark for reporting this.

	* ace/config-osf1*.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM.  Thanks to Thilo
 	  for reporting this.

	* ace/config-mvs.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr
 	  for reporting this.

	* tests/Async_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Added a new test that will
 	  illustrate how to implement an asynchronously invoked
 	  Timer_Queue using UNIX SIGALRM signals.

Thu Aug 28 19:32:07 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* examples/Reactor/ReactorEx: Added two new applications
 	  (test_registry_changes.cpp and test_console_input.cpp) to show
 	  some more features of ReactorEx. test_registry_changes.cpp shows
 	  how to monitor the Registry using ReactorEx.
  	  test_console_input.cpp shows how to use ReactorEx to get
 	  notified when input shows up on the console.

Thu Aug 28 18:07:37 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_{List,Heap,Wheel,Hash}_T.cpp: Changed the behavior 
	  of the iterator to automatically initialize when the iterator 
	  is constructed.

Thu Aug 28 10:43:35 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Task.{h,cpp} (ACE_Task_Exit::instance) added call to
	  ACE_Object_Manager::at_exit () to clean up the singleton at
	  program termination.

Thu Aug 28 03:25:52 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Task_Test.cpp (Barrier_Task): 
	* tests/TSS_Test.cpp (main): Added an array  to collect thread
	  handles in order to clean them up.  Thanks to Ivan Murphy
	  for pointing this out.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.{h,cpp} (spawn_n):
	* ace/Task.{h,cpp} (activate):  
	  Added an extra argument ACE_hthread_t thread_handles[] with
	  default value 0.  We need this argument to collect handles of
	  spwaned/activated threads.  On NT, we have to join terminated
	  threads explicitly to prevent handles leak.  Thanks to Ivan
	  Murphy for digging this out.
	
Wed Aug 27 10:48:25 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace: Changed all occurrences of ACE_LACKS_RLIMIT_PROTO to 
	  ACE_LACKS_RLIMIT_PROTOTYPE, ACE_LACKS_POSIX_PROTO to 
	  ACE_LACKS_POSIX_PROTOTYPES, and ACE_LACKS_SYSV_MSQ_PROTOS to
	  ACE_LACKS_SYSV_MSQ_PROTOTYPES to be more consistent.

	* ace/config-sunos5.x*.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM to all the Solaris
 	  config files.  However, also had to add ACE_LACKS_UALARM_PROTOTYPE
	  since Solaris strangely doesn't provide this prototype.

	* ace/OS.h: Added an ACE_Time_Value version of ACE_OS::ualarm().

	* ace/Signal: Added a new constructor for ACE_Sig_Action that
 	  takes an ACE_Sig_Set parameter.

	* ace/Signal: Added a sigset() accessor method.

	* ace/config-unixware-2.1.2-g++.h: Added ACE_HAS_UALARM.  Thanks
 	  to Ganesh Pai <gpai@voicetek.com> for reporting this.

	* ace/OS.h: Added a default value of 0 to ACE_OS::time().

	* ace/Synch.i (ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard): Rearranged the code so
 	  that we can inline the acquire(), tryacquire(), and release()
 	  methods properly.  Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out.

	* ace/OS.h: Added ACE_OS support for the ualarm() method.  If your
 	  platform supports ualarm() please send me email so I can set the
 	  ACE_HAS_UALARM flag in your config.h file.

	* tests/Makefile: Added an asynchronous timer queue test.

	* examples/IOStream/server/iostream_server.cpp: Added a new macro
 	  to work around the fact that some C++ compiles don't grok
 	  template typedefs.  Thanks to Oleg Krivosheev <kriol@fnal.gov>
 	  for pointing this out.

	* ace/OS,
	  ace/Task.cpp:
	  Installed a bunch of patches for FSU pthreads.  Thanks to Arturo
 	  Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for sending this.

	* Makefile: Added a line to the release script that will
 	  automatically generate an ACE-INSTALL text file from the
 	  ACE-INSTALL.html file.  Thanks to Oleg Krivosheev
 	  <kriol@fnal.gov> for suggesting this.

	* performance-tests/Misc/Makefile: Added $(BIN) to the FILE target
 	  so that "make depend" will work.  Thanks to David Levine for
 	  pointing this out.

	* ace/Synch.i: Eliminated unnecessary assignment to this->owner_.
  	  Thanks to Chris for pointing this out.

	* ace/OS.i (msgctl): Added a "struct" to the definition of
 	  msqid_ds.  Thanks to Steve Hickman <SHICKMAN@cobra.mcit.com> for
 	  reporting this.

Thu Aug 28 01:07:21 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_directory_changes.cpp: Added a
 	  new example application.  This application tests the working of
 	  ReactorEx when users are interested in changes in the
 	  filesystem.

Wed Aug 27 22:06:23 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* *.{mak,mdp,dsw,dsp}: Updated ACE's library names on Win32 as
 	  below.  Only Microsoft's Win95 and Windows NT are effected.

	  Version             Dynamic Library       Static Livrary
	  ------------------  --------------------  -----------------
	  Debug               aced.lib, aced.dll    acesd.lib
	  Release             ace.lib, ace.dll      aces.lib
	  Debug w/ UNICODE    aceud.lib, aceud.dll  acesud.lib
	  Release w/ UNICODE  aceu.lib, aceu.dll    acesu.lib

	  Thanks to John Morey <jmorey@tbi.com> for suggesting this and
 	  Darrell for updating VC 5.0's makefiles.

	* ace/config-freebsd[-pthread].h (ACE_HAS_UALARM): FreeBSD does has 
	  ualarm.

Wed Aug 27 10:52:59 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch_T.h (CTOR): Eliminated unnecessary assignment to
 	  this->owner_.

Wed Aug 27 09:32:57 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Singleton.cpp (instance): removed full qualification of
	  "instance_" in ACE_NEW_RETURN macro, because it confused
	   the Sun C++ 4.2 preprocessor.

	* ace/Singleton.cpp: added support for ACE_HAS_SIG_C_FUNC platforms,
	  e.g., on MVS.  At least I tried to.  The cleanup function,
	  on ACE_HAS_SIG_C_FUNC platforms only, doesn't call the object's
	  destructor.  It just deallocates the storage.  That should be
	  good enough; I don't think it's worth trying to do more than that.

	* ace/Synch.cpp (close_singleton): removed call to
	  ACE_Allocator::close_singleton (), because this method is
	  only called if ACE_HAS_THREADS.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp (dtor): added call to
	  ACE_Allocater::close_singleton (), and protected call to
	  ACE_Static_Object_Lock::close_singleton () with ACE_HAS_THREADS.

	* tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: disabled ACE_U_LongLong test
	  on ACE_WIN32 platforms, because that class is never used
	  there.  Thanks to Nanbor for finding this.

	* performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp,Makefile: added preempt
	  test, which tests for thread preemption.

Tue Aug 26 13:59:01 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp: Changed the symbol
 	  "SS" to "SST" to avoid a namespace collision with UnixWare.
  	  Thanks to Ganesh Pai <gpai@voicetek.com> for pointing this out.

	* ace: Added a new config file to sco using FSU pthreads.  Thanks
 	  to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for sending this.

	* include/makeinclude: Added a new platform macros file to sco
 	  using FSU pthreads.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
 	  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for sending this.

Tue Aug 26 22:06:14 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* examples/Reactor/ReactorEx: Added two new applications for
 	  testing some of the new features of ReactorEx.  Added
 	  documentation and renamed some of the older test files to make
 	  it easier to comprehend the examples.

Tue Aug 26 11:47:29 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/OS.i (mutex_trylock): Changed this method to make it deal
 	  correctly with abandoned mutexes. Also added a new mutex_trylock
 	  method that allows the user to know if the mutex was abandoned
 	  (through an extra out parameter).  Also fixed
 	  ACE_OS::cond_timedwait(), ACE_OS::cond_wait(),
 	  ACE_OS::event_wait(), ACE_OS::event_timedwait() and
 	  ACE_OS::sema_wait() to remove extra checks for WAIT_ABANDONED,
 	  since we are not dealing with mutexes in these methods.  Thanks
 	  to Ivan Murphy <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de> for pointing this
 	  out.

Tue Aug 26 11:06:45 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h,config-vxworks5.x-g++.h:
          split ACE_HAS_RENAMED_MAIN into ACE_MAIN and
	  ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.

	* ace/ACE.cpp: only create the ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer 
          if not ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: dynamically allocated the
	  contained ACE_Unbounded_Queue to so that it can be deallocated
	  before the ACE_Allocator is destroyed.

	* ace/Singleton.{h,cpp}: register all ACE_Singletons for
	  cleanup with the ACE_Object_Manager.

	* ace/Synch.{h,cpp}: renamed ACE_Static_Object_Lock::atexit () to
	  close_singleton (), and removed the unused atexit hook.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (ACE_Log_Msg_Manager::close): delete the
	  main thread's Log_Msg.

	* ace/config-vxworks-ghs-1.8.h: added ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.

	* tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: added tests of ACE_U_LongLong.

	* tests/Atomic_Op_Test.cpp (main): added arguments to main ().

	* tests/Barrier_Test.cpp (main): delete thread_handles array
	  to prevent memory leak.

	* examples/Reactor/Misc/test_signals_2.cpp (main): changed
	  type of second arg from "char *" to "char *[]".

Mon Aug 25 14:13:57 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: 
	  Changed the return type of sendmsg_timedwait from sszie_t to
	  ssize_t, this should only affect platforms where
	  ACE_LACKS_TIMEDWAIT_PROTOTYPES, further it was definitely wrong
	  before.
	  Thanks to ARTURO MONTES <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for pointing
	  out this one.

Mon Aug 25 10:15:06 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue.cpp (notify): fixed ACE_TRACE message.

	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/event_server.cpp,
	  examples/Connection/misc/test_upipe.cpp,
	  examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_*.cpp,
	  examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-poll.cpp,
	  examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/FD-unserver.cpp,
	  examples/Misc/test_dump.cpp,
	  examples/Reactor/FIFO/client.cpp,

	  examples/Threads/token.cpp,
	  examples/Threads/wfmo.cpp,
	  tests/Simple_Message_Block_Test.cpp,
	  tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
	  added arguments to main () to support redeclaring it on VxWorks.

	  From now on, we should always declare main () with arguments, e.g.,
	  int
	  main (int, char *[])

Sun Aug 24 10:27:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Future_Test.cpp (Scheduler): Removed the non-existent
 	  friend class Method_ObjectWork.  Thanks to Sandro Doro
 	  <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for reporting this problem.

	* ace/Message_Block.h: Clarified in the comments that the length()
 	  of a Message_Block is 0 until the wr_ptr() is explicitly set.
  	  Thanks to Amos Shapira <amos@gezernet.co.il> for pointing out
 	  the need for this.

Sat Aug 23 14:43:27 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.3, released Sat Aug 23 14:43:27 1997.

Sat Aug 23 14:40:32 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* Released the long-awaited ACE 4.3.  Good night sweet prince:
	  And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Sat Aug 23 00:44:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp: Make sure that we
	  explicitly instantiate ACE_Svc_Handler<LOGGING_PEER_STREAM,
	  ACE_NULL_SYNCH> whether or not we're building with threads
	  since otherwise we get link errors.

Fri Aug 22 20:58:49 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Cleanup):  Changed the lock for
	  ACE_TSS_Cleanup from a static object to a singleton to avoid the
	  nasty detruction order problem.  This only effects Win32.

	* ace/Synch.{h,cpp}: Added a new singleton lock
	  "ACE_TSS_Cleanup_Lock" for Win32 platform.  This object is
	  expect to be put under ACE_Object_Manager's control and will
	  probably gone/changed in the near future.

Fri Aug 22 18:48:17 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE-install.sh: 
	  I updated the information on IRIX. Now we know for a fact it
	  compiles on IRIX 6.x, but we are not certain on IRIX 5.X.

	* bin/auto_compile_wrapper: 
	  I have tried to make it clear that auto_compile_wrapper must be
	  tailored on each site. The email address is invalid and the
	  script should just crash the 

	* ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): 
	  It used to always dereference the timeout parameter, which could
	  be 0 (heading for a 
	  Sthreads use timestruc_t instead of timespec_t, thanks to
	  Ganesh Pai <gpai@voicetek.com> for pointing out this one and to
	  Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com> for explaining to us what
	  was going on.

Fri Aug 22 08:46:39 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks*.GNU:
	  unset SHLIB to fix builds without PRELIB.

	* netsvcs/lib/Logging_Strategy.cpp,
	  examples/Threads/task_three.cpp: include fstream.h and
	  iostream.h if ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/event_server.cpp,
	  examples/Log_Msg/test_log_msg.cpp,
	  examples/Reactor/Misc/test_time_value.cpp,
	  examples/Logger/Accepter-server/server_loggerd.cpp:
	  #include iostream.h if ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/Peer_Router.cpp (svc):
	  replaced an iostream printout with an ACE_DEBUG call.

	* examples/Misc/test_read_buffer.cpp,
	                test_dump.cpp,
	           Mem_Map/IO-tests/test_io.cpp:
	  replaced bare OS calls with ACE_OS calls.

	* examples/Reactor/Misc/notification.cpp (Thread_Handler):
	  added cast of svc_run to ACE_THR_FUNC.

Thu Aug 21 22:38:19 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* bin/auto_compile: 
	  This tool will checkout ACE_wrapper from CVS, use
	  bin/create_ace_build to update a clone directory, compile ace
	  and tests in that clone directory and then run run_tests.sh.
	  If there is any problem it will report it to email.

	* bin/auto_compile_wrapper: 
	  The former needs some configuration information and a proper
	  enviroment, hence it may not be invoked directly from your
	  crontab. This tool is used for that purpose.

	* apps/Gateway/Gateway/Makefile: 
	* apps/JAWS/server/Makefile: 
	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/Makefile: 
	* examples/IPC_SAP/DEV_SAP/reader/Makefile: 
	* examples/IPC_SAP/DEV_SAP/writer/Makefile: 
	* examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Makefile: 
	* netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile: 
	* netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile: 
	* performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Makefile: 
	  No need to defines LIBS=-lACE here, it is already done in
	  wrapper_macros.GNU. Thanks to Cary Clark <claca@iccokc.com> for
	  pointing out this one.

	* bin/create_ace_build: 
	  New flag -a to create all symlinks using absolute paths, it
	  helps when the build directory is a symlink too.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x-sgic++.GNU: 
	  ACE now compiles with little or no warnings, I kept the linker
	  warnings deactivated though.
	  -ptall does not work any more. I added a comment on that.

	* ace/OS.h: 
	* apps/Gateway/Gateway/Concrete_Proxy_Handlers.cpp: 
	* apps/JAWS/clients/Blobby/Blob_Handler.cpp: 
	* apps/JAWS/server/HTTP_Server.cpp: 
	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/Peer_Router.cpp: 
	* examples/IPC_SAP/SPIPE_SAP/NPServer.cpp: 
	* examples/IPC_SAP/SPIPE_SAP/producer_read.cpp:

	* examples/Reactor/Dgram/Dgram.cpp: 
	* examples/Reactor/Misc/test_demuxing.cpp:

	* performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp: 
	* tests/Reactor_Exceptions_Test.cpp: 
	* tests/Reactors_Test.cpp: 
	* tests/SOCK_Test.cpp: 
	  New macro ACE_NOTREACHED. Some compilers will issue warnings on
	  unreached statements with things like:
	    int foo()
	    {
	      if (bar) {
	        return 0;
	      } else {
	        return 1;
	      }
	      return 0; // warning here
	    }
	  but if we remove the last return some other compiler will issue
	  warnings on leaving the function with no return value.
	  This macro tries to deal with that, all we have to do is to
	  write the last line like:
	    int foo()
	    {
	      if (bar) {
	        return 0;
	      } else {
	        return 1;
	      }
	      ACE_NOTREACHED(return 0); // No warning now!!!
	    }
	  IMHO it also serves as a form of documentation.

Thu Aug 21 21:00:35 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Auto_Ptr: Changed auto_ptr implementation to be as close
	  to the C++ specification as possible. Things that are still
	  missing are: 
	  (a) std namespace
	  (b) member templates implementations
	  (c) making the constructors explicit

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_BIT_STRICTLY_ENABLED): Added new macro to check if
 	  a bit is strictly enabled in a word.  This is necessary when the
 	  bit would be a combination of bits, and therefore, just
 	  comparing against != 0 (like ACE_BIT_ENABLED does) is not enough
 	  and comparing == BIT is necessary.

Thu Aug 21 19:28:28 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (depend.local): If TAO_ROOT
	  is not set, don't try using it in sed.

	* bin/g++dep: Check the existence of the TAO_ROOT environment
	  variable before adding it to the relative pathname replacement
	  strategy.

Thu Aug 21 16:29:02 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: added THR_JOINABLE and THR_SCHED_FIFO/RR/DEFAULT
	  to STHREADS, WTHREADS, and non-threaded platforms.  On VxWorks
	  only, set NSIG to _NSIGS + 1.

	* ace/config-vxworks*.h: removed ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM now that we
	  emulate it for VxWorks.

	* tests/Priority_Task_Test.cpp: use THR_SCHED_FIFO unconditionally
	  now that it's defined on all platforms.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_chorus.GNU,
	                      platform_hpux_gcc.GNU,
	                      platform_linux*.GNU,
	                      platform_m88k.GNU,
	                      platform_osf1_4.0_g++.GNU,
	                      platform_sco*.GNU,
	                      platform_sunos*_g++.GNU,
	                      platform_unixware_g++.GNU,
	  g++ only: replaced PRELIB with "true" because it's not
	  needed for template instantiation.  The old PRELIB no longer
	  worked without -lACE being added to LIBS in individual Makfiles.
	  The only reason to leave PRELIB defined to something is so that
	  the shared object definitions will be correct in rules.lib.GNU.
	  That should be fixed after 4.3 is released.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU:
	  PRELIB no longer needed with explicit template instantiation.

Thu Aug 21 12:38:26 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: Removed extraneous #endif

Thu Aug 21 12:21:16 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h (THR_JOINABLE): Defined this macro for Win32 as 0.

Wed Aug 20 22:36:52 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.44, released Wed Aug 20 22:36:52 1997.

Wed Aug 20 18:28:28 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: Made some definitions dependent on the
	  HP-UX version that is compiling the code.

	* ace/Filecache.(cpp h): Moved the definition of ACE_Filecache_Object
	  from .cpp to .h to help AIX xlC's template instantiator along.

	* apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer.(cpp h): Moved the definition of Peer_Handler
	  from .cpp to .h to help AIX xlC's template instantiator along.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_(hpux hpux_aCC hpux_gcc).GNU:  Added
	  a compiler option to define HPUX_VERS with the current OS version.
	  Used in the config-hpux-10.x.h file.

Wed Aug 20 13:44:16 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-unixware-2.1.2-g++.h: 
	  Unixware does not define timespec_t. Thanks to Ganesh Pai
	  <gpai@voicetek.com> for pointing out this one.

Wed Aug 20 11:37:44 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/rules.bin.GNU,platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU:
	  added POSTLINK to build symbol table.

Wed Aug 20 07:43:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.43, released Wed Aug 20 07:43:14 1997.

Tue Aug 19 08:25:28 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* tests/Barrier_Test.cpp: Added THR_JOINABLE to the flags for
	  creating threads - allows join to work on platforms that create
	  threads detached by default (i.e. AIX).

	* tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp: If the final ACE_OS::kill() fails,
	  don't ACE_OS::wait() for the process.

	* ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: Added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_POSIX_TIME.  Commented
	  out ACE_HAS_AIX_BROKEN_SOCKET_HEADER.  Added ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_T,
	  and will now not use tid_t for any ACE types.  Rearranged things
	  to start clarifying items.

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: Removed ACE_HAS_SETKIND_NP and adjusted
	  other, more meaningful, threads-related definitions to match what
	  HP 10.10 and 10.20 have for threads.  This matches changes to OS.*

	* ace/OS.(h i cpp): Removed use of ACE_SETKIND_NP in an effort to
	  simplify the variety of threads-capability definitions.  The only
	  platforms which used ACE_HAS_SETKIND_NP were HP-UX (see above) and
	  OSF/1 V3.2 (which has the same threads package as HP-UX).  OSF/1
	  V3.2 may require some adjustments per this change - it probably
	  should be changed to match HP-UX.  OSF/1 V4 (aka Digital UNIX)
	  is not affected by this change.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Changed the 't' format (thread ID) to call
	  thread_self() directly on AIX.

Mon Aug 18 21:39:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.42, released Mon Aug 18 21:39:33 1997.

Mon Aug 18 20:22:14 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* apps/Gateway/Peer/Makefile: 
	  No need to define LIBS=-lACE here, its already done in
	  wrapper_macros.GNU.  Thanks to Cary Clark <claca@iccokc.com>
	  for helping in this effort.

Mon Aug 18 19:54:36 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.{h,i} (open, mutex_init, sema_init, event_init, mmap):
	  Added an extra argument LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTE with default value
	  0 to all these methods so that we can modify objects' security
	  attributes when needed.  Thanks to Ivan Murphy for pointing this
	  out.

Mon Aug 18 19:50:13 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

	* examples/Service_Configurator/Makefile: 
	* examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Makefile: 
	* apps/Gateway/Gateway/Makefile: 
	* examples/Connection/non_blocking/Makefile: 
	  $(SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not
	  work on all platforms, notably HP-UX.  Thanks to Cary Clark
	  <claca@iccokc.com> for helping in this effort.

Mon Aug 18 19:46:27 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i: 
	  Added support for the missing netdb reentrant functions, even
	  under IRIX 6.2 with no threads.  Thanks Paul Roman
	  <proman@npac.syr.edu> for reporting this.

Mon Aug 18 12:53:16 1997  David Levine  <levine@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Barrier_Test.cpp (tester): VxWorks doesn't support
	  thr_join().  Therefore, we need to work around it for now.
	  Maybe Wind River will fix it at some point.

Mon Aug 18 12:38:52 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: Removed ACE_HAS_SVR4_TIME, added
	  ACE_LACKS_TIMESPEC_T.

Mon Aug 18 12:00:31 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-mvs.h: 
	  MVS does not define timespec_t either.  Thanks to Chuck
	  Gehr for reporting this.

Mon Aug 18 10:41:05 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: 
	* ace/README: 
	  On some platforms timespec_t is not defined. We added a new
	  config macro (ACE_LACKS_TIMESPEC_T) to handle that and we do a
	  typedef to solve the problem.

	* ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: 
	* ace/config-freebsd.h: 
	* ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h: 
	* ace/config-linux-pthread.h: 
	* ace/config-linux.h: 
	  These are *some* config files that needed changes due to the new
	  timespec_t stuff.

Mon Aug 18 09:34:11 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter): rearranged initializers to
	  match declaration order.

	* ace/Log_Record.h: declare "class ostream" if
	  ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION Log_Record.h.

	* ace/IOStream.h,Log_Msg.cpp,Log_Record.cpp,
	  tests/test_config.h: include iostream.h instead of ace/stdcpp.h
	  if ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

	* ace/config-vxworks*.h: added ACE_LACKS_TIMESPEC_T.

Sun Aug 17 20:58:56 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.41, released Sun Aug 17 20:58:56 1997.

Sun Aug 17 17:02:53 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h: 
	* ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h: 
	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x-sgic++.GNU: 
  	  Finally a single config.h and platform_macros.GNU file can be use
	  for all the IRIX 6.X versions.
	  On SGI machines we need a higher value for
	  ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR, we used 1024*1024*1024, which works on
	  our site, but your mileage may vary.
	
	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.2_sgic++.GNU: 
	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.4_sgic++.GNU: 
	* ace/config-irix6.2-sgic++-nothreads.h: 
	* ace/config-irix6.2-sgic++.h: 
	* ace/config-irix6.4-sgic++-nothreads.h: 
	* ace/config-irix6.4-sgic++.h: 
  	  These files are no longer needed, see above.

	* ace/README: 
	* ace/ACE.cpp: 
	* ace/OS.h: 
	* ace/OS.i: 
	* ace/Profile_Timer.cpp: 
	* ace/Profile_Timer.h: 
	  We no longer use timestruct_t in ACE, it is a SYSVism; we use
	  timespec_t instead.  Hence we have no need for the config
	  macro ACE_HAS_SVR4_TIME, but we keep it there for future
	  reference. 

	* tests/Reader_Writer_Test.cpp: 
 	  On IRIX using ACE_Thread::yield() degraded performance for
	  multiprocessor machines, but worse, the test will not behave as
	  expected: instead of interleaving read/write locks over the
	  RW_Mutex it will make all the write locks first and then the read
	  locks.  The test uses ACE_OS::sleep() for yielding the CPU,
	  and it uses different pauses for each thread (see code for
	  details). Further, it yields the CPU *before* taking the
	  lock, to give other threads a chance.

Sat Aug 16 18:17:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.40, released Sat Aug 16 18:17:10 1997.

Sat Aug 16 18:13:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp (add_network_events_i): Revised the code to
 	  use the ACE_BIT_CMP_MASK and ACE_SET_BITS macros to simplify the
 	  code.

	* ace/OS.h: Added a new macro called ACE_BIT_CMP_MASK which checks
 	  if a "bit-wise" & with a word == a particular mask.

	* ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): If we're in the Pthreads implementation
 	  then we assume that ACE_thread_t and ACE_hthread_t are the same.
  	  If this *isn't* correct on some platform, please let us know.
  	  Thanks to Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>.

	* ace/Auto_Ptr.cpp: Reverted the changes of ACE_Auto_Ptr to
 	  auto_ptr since we want to be Standard C++ Library compliant.
  	  However, we only define auto_ptr if ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY
 	  is *not* enabled.

	* Removed the INSTALL file since this is redundant with the HTML
 	  version of this file (ACE-INSTALL.html).  Thanks to David Levine
	  for doing the legwork to merge this.

Sat Aug 16 15:11:24 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>
	
	* ace/Auto_Ptr.h: Put in an #include <memory> (for auto_ptr) if 
	  the standard C++ library is being used.
	
	* ace/Auto_Ptr.*: Changed the checks for ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY
	  to also check to see if it is defined to 0 (which means the same
	  as it not being defined).

	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp: Changed the use of auto_ptr to work with
	  the one in the Standard C++ library.  

	* ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_NESTED_TEMPLATES
	  and ACE_LACKS_STL_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_PARAMETER for the MSVC versions
	  that need them.  
	
	* ace/Registry.cpp: changed some variable names from iterator to 
	  iter to prevent conflicts with another variable

	* ace/Registry.cpp:
	  STL/bstring.h:

	  Changed references of NPOS to Istring::npos

Sat Aug 16 14:17:07 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Auto_Ptr.i: 
	* ace/Auto_Ptr.cpp: 
	  Some code was only included if ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY was
	  defined; but the intention was exactly the opposite.

Sat Aug 16 14:33:26 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* README,FAQ,Makefile: changed references from INSTALL file
	  to ACE-INSTALL.html.

Fri Aug 15 19:51:52 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Auto_Ptr.h: A rarely used piece of ACE code has changed
 	  names because of name conflicts with the Microsoft Standard C++
 	  Library. The change is from auto_ptr to ACE_Auto_Ptr. A perl
 	  script ($ACE_ROOT/bin/auto_ptr.perl) is provided for users to
 	  change their code accordingly.

	  The following files were effected:
	  
	  ace: ACE.cpp Auto_Ptr.cpp Auto_Ptr.h Auto_Ptr.i OS.h
 	       ReactorEx.cpp Service_Config.cpp Service_Object.h

	  examples/Threads: future1.cpp future2.cpp test_future1.cpp
 	                    test_future2.cpp

          tests: Future_Test.cpp	  

Fri Aug 15 17:41:28 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.39, released Fri Aug 15 17:41:28 1997.

Fri Aug 15 13:33:04 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_DEFAULT_GLOBALNAME_W): Moved pathname delimiter
 	  from ACE_DEFAULT_{LOCAL|GLOBAL}NAME_* to
 	  ACE_DEFUALT_NAMESPACE_DIR on NT.  We need to append local/global
 	  name to get a unique mutex name for naming service.  NT won't
 	  let us put a backslash in lock name. ;(

Fri Aug 15 14:50:26 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Makefile: Moved ARGV from the TEMPLATES section to the FILES
	  section; now builds on AIX.

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: Don't redefine _HPUX_SOURCE.  Move the
	  ACE_HAS_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS and ACE_CTIME_R_RETURNS_INT to the
	  build-with-threads section.  Thanks to Neil Cohen <nbc@metsci.com>
	  for helping to flush these problems out.

	* tests/Makefile: If building on AIX, wipe out the tempinc directory
	  before each compilation to keep the driver from compiling all
	  prior programs' template instantiations in every link step.

Fri Aug 15 13:07:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Signal.cpp (remove_handler): Added some additional
 	  parameters to ACE_Sig_Action usages in order to get this stuff
 	  to compile with G++ on SunOS 4.1.4.  Thanks to Kumar Neelakantan
 	  <kneelaka@PaineWebber.COM> for reporting this.

	* ACE version 4.2.38, released Thu Aug 14 23:07:26 1997.

Fri Aug 15 13:33:04 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Naming_Context.cpp (ACE_Naming_Context): Moved the deletion
 	  of name_options_ from close to dtor of this class so that we can
 	  reconfigure the naming context.

Fri Aug 15 10:28:14 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp: Changed uname() for Win32 so it returns information
	  for Windows 95 and NT.

Thu Aug 14 18:06:37 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.[hi] (strsplit_r): Added a new method which splits a
 	  string separated by tokens, similar to the way that perl's
 	  split() works.  This is different from the strtok() family b/c
 	  for the string ":/foo:/bar::boo", strtok() would return "/foo",
 	  "/bar", "boo", while strsplit_r() returns "", "/foo", "/bar",
 	  "", "boo".  This method is also properly re-entrant, and thus
 	  safe to use among multiple threads.

	* ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Fixed this so that it now properly deals
 	  with paths containing empty components intended to indicate
 	  'current directory'.

Thu Aug 14 17:30:36 1997  Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h - Add ACE_LACKS_CONST_STRBUF_PTR, remove
	  ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM, clarify comments regarding setting of
	  _CMA_NOWRAPPERS_ - thanks to Cary Clark <claca@iccokc.com> for
	  helping in this effort.

Thu Aug 14 16:14:47 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (print_ave,print_total): fixed format
	  specification for total_secs to be lu instead of lld.

Thu Aug 14 14:06:37 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ARGV.cpp: Completed the explicit template instantiations for
	  this component.

Thu Aug 14 11:27:03 1997  Edward Everett Anderson  <eea1@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ARGV.* (argv): 

	* Added another behavior to ACE_ARGV -- a user can iteratively
 	  build the parameter set with add().  Made the class more
 	  consistent so that accessors work no matter which constructor is
 	  used.

Thu Aug 14 10:14:37 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* Made several changes to allow ACE to work with the new standard
	  C++ header files, such as <cstdio> and the built in STL.  Thanks 
	  to Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de> for these changes.
	  The default is to use the old headers, unless the 
	  ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY is defined as 1.
	
	* ace/config-win32-common.h:
	  ace/config-win32.h:

	  - Added ACE_USES_STD_NAMESPACE_FOR_STDCPP_LIB flag to
 	    distinguish compilers who have the standard C++ library
 	    declared in the namespace std and those who use the global
 	    namespace for it

	  - Enabled ACE_HAS_SIG_ATOMIC_T and ACE_HAS_TYPENAME_KEYWORD for
 	    MSVC 5

	  - Changed the semantics of ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY from
	    [defined/undefined] to [(undefined or defined as 0)/defined != 0]
	    to allow the choice between the old iostream and standard C++
 	    library for those platforms that support both

	  - Don't define the ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_FX when building with MSVC
 	    5.0 and the standard C++ library.

	  - If __ACE_INLINE__ is defined as 0, config-win32-common.h
 	    undefines __ACE_INLINE__ to decrease the size of libraries and
 	    executables.

	* ace/IOStream.cpp: Moved the #ifdef ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAM up to the
	  proper place

	* ace/IOStream.h:
	  ace/IOStream_T.h:
	  ace/Log_Msg.cpp:
	  ace/Log_Msg.h:
	  ace/Log_Record.cpp:
	  ace/Log_Record.h:
	  examples/ASX/Message_Queue/*.dsp:
	  examples/OS/Process/*.dsp:
	  examples/Threads/*.dsp:
	  examples/Threads/barrier2.cpp:
	  examples/Threads/task_three.cpp:
	  netsvcs/lib/Logging_Strategy.cpp:

	  Updated to including stdcpp.h instead of <iostream.h>,
 	  <iomanip.h>, <fstream.h>, etc.

	* ace/OS.h: Updated to use stdcpp.h instead of including the
 	  normal C headers.  Moved the includes into stdcpp.h to allow
 	  switching between the old and new versions

	* ace/Registry.h: Changed to use the standard C++ headers for STL
 	  and added a typedef Name_Component and Binding to
 	  ACE_Registry::* to help some unresolved problems.
	  
	* tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
	  tests/test_config.h:

	  Updated to #include ace/stdcpp.h instead of <iostream.h> and
 	  <fstream.h>

	* ace/stdcpp.h: Updated to include more of the new standard C++
 	  header files, and also promote some of the iostream classes to
 	  the global namespace.

	* ace/ace.dsp: 
	
	  - Added some folders like Templates and Documentation
	  - Added some files that were missing to the project
	  - Enabled function level linking for debug projects
	  - Set it to "Not using MFC"
	  - Removed wsock32.lib from the project settings (since
 	    config-win32-common.h will tell the linker to use the correct
 	    winsock library)
	  - Removed some other unnecessary libraries (OLE) from the
 	    project.

Wed Aug 13 23:02:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.37, released Wed Aug 13 23:02:45 1997.

Wed Aug 13 13:26:27 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Barrier_Test.cpp (main): Fixed the test of the ACE_Barrier
 	  class so that it doesn't leak handles.  This also illustrates
 	  the use of the ACE_Thread::join() and
 	  ACE_Thread_Manager::spawn_n() methods.  Thanks to Ivan Murphy
 	  for pointing this out.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (spawn_n): Note that if we get a null
 	  thread_ids parameter we shouldn't try to index into it!

	* include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (OBJDIRS): Added
 	  so_locations to the list of directories cleaned up during a make
 	  clean/realclean.  Thanks to Amos Shapira for reporting this.

	* ACE version 4.2.36, released Wed Aug 13 07:30:10 1997.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.[x-]32_sgic++.GNU: Added a
 	  -Wl,-woff,133 to LDFLAGS to make the linker shutup about branch
 	  instructions that might degrade performance
	  (what does this mean?).  Thanks to Amos for this.

	* tests/test_config.h: Fixed a typo (ourput_file() should be
 	  output_file()).  How on earth did this ever work?!  Thanks to
 	  Amos Shapira for reporting this.

	* ace/Message_Queue.cpp: Added a couple of new ACE_UNUSED_ARGs
 	  Thanks to Amos Shapira for reporting this.

	* ace/OS.cpp (gethrtime): ACE_OS::gethrtime should cast its return
 	  value to ACE_hrtime_t instead of (u_long long).  Thanks to
	  Amos Shapira for reporting this.

Wed Aug 13 14:51:47 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/SString.[i,cpp]: moved some inline methods from the .i into 
	  the .cpp so the Win32 Unicode Release compiles with inlining.

Wed Aug 13 01:14:08 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/test_config.h (ACE_NEW_THREAD): Removed
	  ACE_Log_Msg::set_flags/clr_flags from this macro because
	  ACE_Log_Msg::flags is a static variable.  We really don't need
	  to reset them when creating new threads.  Once VxWorks can also
	  inherit ACE_Log_Msg's properties, we no longer need this macro.

	* ace/Log_Msg.h: Added trace_depth() functions.  They are required
 	  for inheriting ACE_Log_Msg's properties.
	  
	* ace/OS.cpp: Changed ACE_Thread_Adapter implementation so that
	  newly created threads will inherit properties from their parent
 	  threads.  This is the default behavior and is valid on all
 	  platform except VxWorks.  If you don't want it and would like to
 	  arrange the properties propagation yourself, you must define
 	  ACE_THREADS_DONT_INHERIT_LOG_MSG in your ace/config.h file.  Now,
 	  creating a new thread will go thru ace_thread_adapter on all
 	  platform except VxWorks.  If ACE_THREADS_DONT_INHERIT_LOG_MSG is
	  defined but your platform defines ACE_HAS_THR_C_FUNC or
	  ACE_WIN32, creating new threads still need to use
	  ace_thread_adapter.  This change also fixes a previous problem
	  which let threads access another thread's TSS.
	
Tue Aug 12 21:57:30 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* etc/ACE-guidelines.html: added.

Tue Aug 12 16:54:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* Added Chuck Gehr's explanation of how to build ACE for MVS to
 	  the ACE-INSTALL.html file at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/.

	* ace/OS.i: changed the name of ACE_U_LongLong::dump() to
	  ACE_U_LongLong::output().  Also moved some of the code that was
	  inlined in the class definition into the *.i file.

	* netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp: Added a template
 	  specialization for ACE_Atomic_Op<ACE_Thread_Mutex, u_long> to
 	  make things link with SGI and other systems that have long
 	  different than int.  Thanks to Amos Shapira for reporting this.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp (close): Removed the #ifdefs around
 	  notify_handler_.open () and notify_handler_.close() since this
 	  is now supposed to be available on all build configurations.
  	  Thansk to Stefan Ericsson for reporting this.

	* examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_Thr_Stream.cpp:
 	  Removed a static variable that seemed to be causing problems for
 	  SGI C++.  Also, removed the now unnecessary "inherited" from
 	  Handle_Thr_Acceptor.

	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/Peer_Router.h,
	* netsvcs/lib/Log_Message_Receiver.h: Added an
 	  ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC macro for the assignment operator to work
 	  around silly "features" of SGI C++...

	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.[x-]32_sgic++.GNU: Added some
 	  additional patches to suppress warning code.  Thanks to Torbjorn
 	  Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for this fix.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_mvs.GNU: Changed all occurrences of
	  "MVSLIB" to "ACELIB".  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

Tue Aug 12 15:03:42 1997  Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp, Timer_Wheel_T.cpp: Replaced references to
	  ACE_High_Res_Timer::gettimeofday with ACE_OS::gettimeofday.
	  The High Res version is deprecated, and doesn't work correctly
	  on HP-UX.

Tue Aug 12 07:51:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.35, released Tue Aug 12 07:51:02 1997.

Mon Aug 11 22:30:39 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: disabled
	  automatic template instantiation, because we use explicit
	  template instantiation, via a #pragma, with Green Hills.
	  Thanks to Brian Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com> for
	  finding the compiler options.

Mon Aug 11 17:45:44 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp (ace_thread_adapter): Changed the code so that TSS
	  ACE_Log_Msg will get created and put into cleanup stack first no
	  matter there is other ACE_Log_Msg instances or not.  This fixed
	  the "order of destruction" problem on Win32 platform.  Thanks to
	  Irfan for digging this out and helping solving it.

Mon Aug 11 07:25:29 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_reactorEx.cpp: Updated this
 	  example to use the new Proactor and Asynch IO interfaces.

	* ace/Connector.cpp (activate_svc_handler): Fixed the "leak" of
 	  svc_handler in case of error. Thanks to Wei Chiang
 	  <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for reporting this.

Mon Aug 11 01:11:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.34, released Mon Aug 11 01:11:26 1997.

Mon Aug 11 01:06:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue.cpp (enqueue_tail_i): Inadvertantly
	  added "signal_dequeue_waiters()" where I meant 
	  "signal_enqueue_waiters()."

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Fixed a typo in the
 	  wrapper_macros.GNU file that was causing link errors.

Sun Aug 10 11:35:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue.cpp: To make sure that we have correctly
 	  signaled waiters the signal_enqueue_waiters() and
 	  signal_dequeue_waiters() methods now check the return value from
 	  the semaphore release if ACE_HAS_OPTIMIZED_MESSAGE_QUEUE is
 	  enabled.

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU (VLDLIBS): Added a 
	  new macro called ACELIB that can be used to make it easier
	  to enable static linking for ACE, i.e.:

	  ACELIB = -Bstatic -lACE -Bdynamic  

	  or

	  ACELIB = $(ACE_ROOT)/ace/libACE.a

	  Can be added to the individual platform_macros.GNU file.  This
 	  allowed us to remove special code for MVS in wrapper_macros.GNU.
  	  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for this fix.

	* netsvcs/lib: Added some comments after the #endifs.

	* ace/Filecache.cpp (insert_i): Updated the code so that we use
 	  ACE_NEW_RETURN rather than operator new.  This macro will
 	  protect against failed allocations.

Sat Aug  9 22:08:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace: Added two new config files:

	  config-irix6.x-sgic++.h
	  config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h

	  This should hopefully consolidate the SGI platform
 	  configuration.  Thanks to Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for
 	  this fix.

	* include/makeinclude: Added two new platform macro files:

	  platform_irix6.x-n32_sgic++.GNU: 
	  platform_irix6.x-32_sgic++.GNU

	  This should hopefully consolidate the SGI platform macros.
  	  Thanks to Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for this fix.

	* ace/Filecache.cpp: Fixed the syntax of the SGI pragma stuff.
  	  Thanks to Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for reporting this.

	* ace/Name_Request_Reply.h: Changed MAX_NAME_LEN to MAX_NAME_LENGTH
	  to avoid problems with Solaris 2.6.  Thanks to Thanh Ma <tma@encore.com>
	  for reporting this.

Sat Aug  9 12:10:35 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-win32-common.h (ACE_HAS_WINSOCK2): 
	* ace/config-win32.h (ACE_HAS_WINSOCK2): Rearranged definition of
	  this so that users can overwrite the default setting and choose
 	  older Winsock if they want.  No action needed for most NT
 	  useres. Thanks to jmorey@tbi.com (John Morey) for pointing this
 	  out.

Sat Aug 09 11:28:36 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Profile_Timer.i: ACE_HAS_GETRUSAGE and !ACE_HAS_PRUSAGE
	  platforms now use ACE_OS::gettimeofday rather than 
	  ACE_High_Res_Timer::gettimeofday in start() and stop() methods.

	* tests/Sigset_Ops_Test.cpp: adjusted test for sigismember() with
	  out-of-range signum to separately test return value and errno.
	  Also, returns non-zero from program on failed test.

Fri Aug 08 17:39:43 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.33, released Fri Aug 08 17:39:43 1997.

Fri Aug 08 02:50:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue: Factored out the code that differs depending
 	  on whether we are using the optimized ACE_Message_Queue
 	  implementation (i.e., VxWorks and NT).  This change makes it
 	  easier to maintain the code.  Thanks to Darrell for helping with
 	  this.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (close): Fixed a couple of typos in this code,
 	  in particular, we need to make sure that we don't call
 	  ACE_Log_Msg_Manager::close() if we aren't multi-threaded.

	* ACE version 4.2.32, released Fri Aug 08 02:50:31 1997.

Fri Aug  8 13:17:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.* (strtoul): Added the OS function strtoul() to turn
 	  strings into unsigned longs.

Fri Aug  8 12:26:54 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Fixed some comments and removed unused code
	  I erroneously added August 6.

	* ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: Fixed to not always compile tracing code.

	* tests/test_config.h: ACE_END_TEST and ACE_END_LOG macros direct
	  log output back to stderr when shutting off the file output.

	* tests/TSS_Test.cpp: Removed ACE_Thread_Control object from the main
	  thread - it served no purpose and didn't work on HP-UX (due to
	  a documented pthread_exit restriction).  Also changed a 'delete
	  ptr' to a call on operator delete (void *).

Fri Aug  8 09:17:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Service_Repository.h (operations.): Improved documentation
 	  on find().

Fri Aug  8 00:01:43 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (close): Moved ACE_Log_Msg::close() out of
	  ACE_MT_SAFE block so it always exists.  This function only takes
 	  care of non-VxWorks platforms.

	  (instance): Removed at_exit() call since the instances will be
 	  taken of by TSS_Cleanup.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp (~ACE_Object_Manager): Removed condition
	  compilation so it always calls ACE_Log_Msg::close().

Thu Aug  7 23:36:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Reactor.h: Added the renew() method and the notify_handler_
 	  data member to all compilation cases, not just for
 	  multi-threading.

	* ace/Service_Config.h: Clarified the fact that argv[0] is the
 	  program name.  Thanks to Chris Cleeland for pointing this out.

	* ace/config-mvs.h: Added the ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION flag
 	  thanks to Chuck Gehr.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.2_sgic++.GNU: Turned on
 	  exceptions and turned off implicit template instantiation.
  	  Thanks to Amos Shapira <amos@gezernet.co.il> for reporting the
 	  former.

	* ace/config-irix6.2-sgic++.h: Also added the
 	  ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION flag and changed the
 	  platform_irix6.2.GNU file to not implicitly initialize
 	  templates.  If this breaks something, please let me know.

	* ace/config-irix6.2-sgic++.h: Added the ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS flag.
  	  Thanks to Amos Shapira <amos@gezernet.co.il> for reporting this.
  	  However, there is some question as to whether this will work.
  	  If it doesn't, please let me know.

	* ace/Reactor: Moved the ACE_Reactory_Notify class out from the
 	  ACE_MT_SAFE section into the main code since this should work
 	  for non-threaded builds, as well.  Thanks to Stefan Ericsson
 	  <uabsjen@osd.ericsson.se> for reporting this.

	* ace/config-chorus.h: Added the ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION
 	  flag.  Thanks to Wei Chiang for this.

Thu Aug  7 19:09:35 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp - split definition of Dumb_String
	  class to a new header, Hash_Map_Manager_Test.h.  This makes AIX
	  C Set ++ happy.

	* tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp - split definitions of Options
	  and Counting_Service classes to Process_Strategy_Test.h for AIX
	  C Set ++'s benefit.

Thu Aug  7 15:27:28 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: Fixed typo in the definition of ACE_SYNCH_1 and
	  ACE_SYNCH_2 for ACE_HAS_OPTIMIZED_MESSAGE_QUEUE

Thu Aug  7 13:05:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Strategies_T.h: Changed the argument to ACE_DLL_Strategy
          from ACE_Service_Config to ACE_Service_Repository, which is more
  	  concrete.

	* bin/g++dep (REL): Added sed rule so that TAO's dependencies are
 	  set relative to $TAO_ROOT as well as $ACE_ROOT when the '-r'
 	  option is utilized.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_linux_lxpthread.GNU (CCFLAGS): The
 	  -Wall option can now be used.  It only generates two warnings
 	  throughout all of ACE!

	* include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (depend.local): Modified
 	  this target so that TAO's dependencies are set relative to
 	  $TAO_ROOT as well as $ACE_ROOT.

Thu Aug  7 12:03:48 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Filecache.{h,cpp}: Fixed unused variable found by Amos
	  Shapira.  Fixed TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION dependency, sort of.  Do
	  not attempt to use Filecache if you do not support
	  TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION.

Thu Aug 07 00:19:12 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.31, released Thu Aug 07 00:19:12 1997.

Wed Aug  6 22:20:54 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch_T.h: Replaced all uses of ACE_Null_Condition_Mutex
 	  with ACE_Null_Condition, which is much more straightforward...

	* ASNMP: Added Mike MacFaden's changes for IRIX.

Wed Aug  6 16:37:51 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp: Changed implementation back to use a
	  single sentinel_ rather than an array of them.                  

	* ace/Filecache.{h,cpp}: Total re-implementations.  Fewer locks
          acquired and released when there is a cache hit.

Wed Aug 06 12:55:26 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/Log_Msg.(h cpp):
		(ACE_Log_Msg_Manager) - Removed most of the non-VxWorks
	  pieces - there's just a lock left; the instances_ was removed
		(ACE_Log_Msg) - Use ACE_Object_Manager to remove per-thread
	  instances of ACE_Log_Msg rather than using ACE_Log_Msg_Manager.
	  The use of an ACE_Unbounded_Set to hold the ACE_Log_Msg pointers
	  in previous versions caused some non-tail recursion problems when
	  tracing was enabled.
	  Uses an instance count to know when it's safe to free the dynamically
	  allocated class-static memory.

	* ace/Trace.(h cpp): Added new static member function:
	     int is_tracing(void)   - returns 1 if tracing is enabled, else 0.

	* ace/Object_Manager.(h cpp): Added a flag to indicate the object is
	  being destroyed - during destruction, ACE_Object_Manager now refuses
	  to register any new memory pointers.  Also turns tracing off during
	  destruction - ACE_Log_Msg makes use of ACE_Object_Manager, so we
	  don't want ACE_Log_Msg instance being deleted, then created for a
	  ACE_TRACE, then deleted, then created,...

Wed Aug 06 03:35:41 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.30, released Wed Aug 06 03:35:41 1997.

Wed Aug  6 00:13:27 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@dingo.wolfpack.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp: We only need to
	  instantiate ACE_Svc_Handler<LOGGING_PEER_STREAM, ACE_SYNCH> when
 	  ACE_HAS_THREADS.  Otherwise, we'll have duplicate symbols
	  defined on platforms that do not support threads.

Tue Aug  5 19:52:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Containers: Added a new reset method for ACE_Unbounded_Set.
	  Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for
	  reporting this.

	* ace: Changed most uses of ACE_LACKS_COND_T to
 	  ACE_HAS_OPTIMIZED_MESSAGE_QUEUE to make it possible to toggle
 	  between the emulated condition variable implementation of
 	  ACE_Message_Queue and the semaphore implementation.  We need
 	  this until we fully test out the semaphore implementation of
 	  ACE_Message_Queue.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp (ACE_Object_Manager): Only call the
 	  ACE_Log_Msg::close() method if ACE_MT_SAFE is enabled!  Thanks
 	  to Satoshi Ueno <satoshi.ueno@gs.com> for reporting this.

	* ace/Malloc.h: Added a fix for misalignment of data in the
 	  ACE_CONTROL_BLOCK_ALIGN_LONGS macro.  Thanks to Fred LaBar
 	  <flabar@fallschurch.esys.com> for this fix.

	* ace/ACE.cpp: (enter_recv_timedwait,enter_send_timedwait): Always
 	  give val a default value of 0 to make Purify happy.  Thanks to
 	  David Levine for reporting this.

	* netsvcs/clients/Tokens/rw_lock/rw_locks.cpp,
 	  netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/manual.cpp,
 	  netsvcs/clients/Tokens/deadlock/deadlock_detection_test.cpp:
 	  Removed unreachable statements.  Thanks to Cherif Sleiman
 	  <sleiman@research.moore.com> for reporting this deficiency and
 	  testing the fix.

Tue Aug  5 16:41:06 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch_T.h: Added some more ACE_LACKS_COND_T changes for compilers
	  without template typdefs.

Tue Aug  5 11:50:43 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue.h: Fixed typos for the case when
 	  ACE_LACKS_COND_T.

Tue Aug 05 11:02:11 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* tests/Atomic_Op_Test.cpp (main): Made sure that on platforms
 	  without threads, we don't try to run this test.

Tue Aug 05 09:15:40 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: removed
	  -no_prelink from LDFLAGS because ghs 1.8.8 doesn't support it.
	  Thanks to Cherif Sleiman <sleiman@research.moore.com> for
	  reporting this.

	* ace/Service_Record.cpp: added #include "ace/Stream_Modules.h"
	  to support template instantiation on GreenHills, at least.
	  Thanks to Cherif Sleiman <sleiman@research.moore.com> for
	  reporting this deficiency and testing the fix.

	* ace/config-vxworks-ghs-1.8.h: added
	  ACE_LACKS_LINEBUFFERED_STREAMBUF.  Thanks to Cherif Sleiman
	  <sleiman@research.moore.com> for reporting this.

Mon Aug  4 22:47:54 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Message_Queue: Fixed consistency problems in naming notfull
 	  vs.  not_full.  Thanks to David Levine for finding this.

	* ace/Message_Queue: Added specialized support for cases where
 	  ACE_LACKS_COND_T (e.g., VxWorks and NT).  This scheme uses
 	  ACE_Thread_Semaphores in this case, which should be more
 	  efficient).

	* ace/Synch_T.h: Added a new set of macros and typedefs for
 	  ACE_SYNCH_SEMAPHORE.

	* examples/ASX/Message_Queue: Cleaned up all the Message_Queue
 	  examples.

	* examples/ASX/Message_Queue/buffer_stream.cpp: Added a
 	  NUL-terminator to the program so that it won't break.  Thanks to
 	  Darrell for finding this.

	* ace/Reactor.cpp (wait_for_multiple_events): Fixed some
	  stylistic problems in the Reactor.

	* ace/Synch.cpp (ace_static_object_lock_atexit): Changed from:

	  extern "C" static void

	  to:

	  extern "C" void

	  Thanks to Chuck Gehr <gehr@sweng.stortek.com> for this.

Mon Aug  4 14:03:22 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* tests/Enum_Interfaces_Test.cpp: return non-zero if test fails.

Mon Aug  4 12:03:29 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Semaphore_Test: Redid to test timed waits in a more 
	  reasonably fashion.  

Mon Aug  4 11:43:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS: Continued to cleanup the problems with inconsistent
 	  variants of sendmsg() and writev() on VxWorks.  Thanks to Cherif
 	  Sleiman <sleiman@research.moore.com> for reporting this.

	* ace/OS.i (sema_wait): Fixed the implementation on NT so that
 	  errno = ETIME.

	* tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Cleaned up the programming style a
	  bit.

	* ace/OS (writev): Removed the ACE_WRITEV_TYPE from the
 	  ACE_OS::writev() method and instead put this as a cast on the
 	  internal call to ::writev().  This is much cleaner and should
 	  fix a bug introduced last night.  Thanks Cherif Sleiman
 	  <sleiman@research.moore.com> for reporting this.

	* ace/Synch: Added a new release() method to ACE_Semaphore that
 	  enables a caller to release multiple waiters.  Thanks to Darrell
 	  Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> for noticing this.

Mon Aug  4 12:03:29 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Semaphore_Test: Redid to test timed waits in a more 
	  reasonably fashion.  

Sun Aug 03 23:47:13 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.29, released Sun Aug 03 23:47:13 1997.

Sun Aug  3 22:18:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Atomic_Op_Test.cpp: Added template specialization so that
	  David won't have to ;-)

	* ace/ACE: Added a new, complete set of send/recv operations with
	  timeouts.  These implement the following methods:

	  read, readv, write, writev, recv, recvfrom, recvmsg, send, sendto, sendmsg. 

	  The implementation provides two flavors: MIT pthread support, an
 	  ACE portable support.  To use MIT pthread support, you must to
 	  define ACE_HAS_READ_TIMEDWAIT, ACE_HAS_READV_TIMEDWAIT,
 	  ACE_HAS_WRITE_TIMEDWAIT, ACE_HAS_RECV_TIMEDWAIT,
 	  ACE_HAS_RECVFROM_TIMEDWAIT, ACE_HAS_RECVMSG_TIMEDWAIT,
 	  ACE_HAS_SEND_TIMEDWAIT, ACE_HAS_SENDTO_TIMEDWAIT and
 	  ACE_HAS_SENDMSG_TIMEDWAIT respectively.  See the config.h file
 	  for SCO UNIX for an example.

	  This new approach is not only more powerful (since it takes
	  advantage of OS-level mechanisms when they exist), but it also
	  greatly improves the modularity of the code and provides a
	  wider range of supported functionality.  Thanks to Arturo
	  Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for this new feature.

	* ace/ACE.cpp: Added comments to the ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer
	  class.

	* ace/OS.h: Redid all the function prototypes for class ACE_OS so
 	  that it's easier to read the arguments.

	* ace/config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h: Added the new macros that
 	  enable timed reads and writes.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
 	  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for this new feature.

	* ace: Added a corresponding #endif /* FOO */ for all #if defined
 	  (FOO) in ACE.

	* ace: Changed all uses of ACE_IOStream_T to ACE_IOStream to
	  be more consistent with other uses of templates in ACE.
	  Thanks to Thilo for reporting this (and thanks to David
	  for not being offended ;-)). 

	* ace/OS.i (operator/): Removed "const" from both the OS.h and
 	  OS.i files for ACE_U_LongLong::operator/.  It is redundant,
 	  potentially confusing, and gives warnings on some compilers!

Sun Aug 03 21:20:12 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* tests/Atomic_Op_Test.cpp: Added new test to test the Atomic
 	  Operations Class in ACE.  On platforms like Win32, ACE uses
 	  template specialization to use native implementations provided
 	  by the OS to accelarate these operations.

	* ace/config-win32-common.h (ACE_HAS_INTERLOCKED_EXCHANGEADD):
 	  Added macro to config file. This macro is automatically set true
 	  for NT4.0 systems or greater.

	* ace/Atomic_Op.i: On Win32 platforms, this code will be included
 	  as template source code and will not be inlined. Therefore, we
 	  first turn off ACE_INLINE, set it to be nothing, include this
 	  code, and then turn ACE_INLINE back to its original setting. All
 	  this nonsense is necessary since the generic template code that
 	  needs to be specialized cannot be inlined, else the compiler
 	  will ignore the specialization code. Also, the specialization
 	  code *must* be inlined or the compiler will ignore the
 	  specializations.	  

	  The creation of this new file is necessary for non-Win32
 	  platforms to continue to inline the code as before.

	* ace/Synch_T.cpp: This file must include Atomic_Op.i if
 	  ACE_INLINE has not be turned on.  If it is, this file must be
 	  included by Synch_T.h.

	* ace/Synch.cpp: Moved the specialization code from Synch.cpp to
 	  Atomic_Op.i.  This is necessary, otherwise the compiler will
 	  ignore the specialization.

Sun Aug 03 10:51:34 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-osf1-4.0*.h: added #define ACE_HAS_LONGLONG_T.
	  Thanks to Thilo for reporting that OSF1-4.0 does.

Sat Aug 02 23:51:19 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.28, released Sat Aug 02 23:51:19 1997.

	* ace/TTY_IO.cpp (control): Fixed a bug when using 8 bits for
 	   character due to ISTRIP flag setting for device.  Thanks to
 	   Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this bug.

	* ACE-categories: Updated the list of ACE classes to reflect
	  recent changes.

	* ASNMP: Added the new ACE+SNMP release courtesy of Mike
	  MacFaden <mrm@cisco.com>.  This builds cleanly on Solaris,
	  but it looks like there are a bunch of non-portable features
	  that won't compile cleanly on all the other platforms.
	  Therefore, until Mike or others get this stuff fully portable,
	  it won't be build by default in the top-level ACE Makefile.

	* ace/OS.h (class ACE_U_LongLong): Reformatted this a bit.

	* ace/SV_Semaphore_Simple.i: Removed the #include of
 	  SV_Semaphore_Simple.h since it seems unnecessary and is causing
 	  problems for TAO.

	* ace/IOStream_T.h (ACE_IOStream_T): Removed the unneeded ';' at
 	  the end of the ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC macros since this was
 	  causing compiler errors.

Sat Aug 02 13:11:22 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch.cpp (ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance): commented
	  out call to ::atexit () because it causes shutdown problems
	  on DEC CXX, HP/UX, and AIX.  Many thanks to James Johnson
	  for tenaciously tracking this one down, to Thilo and Steve
	  for assisting, and to all who reported the problem.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (ACE_Log_Msg_Manager::open,close): neutered
	  on VxWorks, only, so that it will compile.

Fri Aug  1 21:33:18 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* netsvcs/lib/netsvcs.mak: Added post compilation command that
	  copies DLL to ace/ directory because netsvcs/main.exe must have
	  this file in search path.

	* ace/Read_Buffer.cpp (ACE_Read_Buffer): Used ACE_OS::fdopen
	  instead of ::fdopen because it caused compilation error on NT.

Fri Aug  1 17:25:04 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.4_sgic++.GNU (CCFLAGS): Used
 	  -ptnone and -no_prelink in order to get SGI to compile properly.

	* ace/config-irix6.4-sgic++.h (ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS): Added
 	  ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS to this config.

	* ace/IOStream_T.h (ACE_IOStream_T): Wrapped send, recv, send_n,
 	  and recv_n with the ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC macro.

Fri Aug  1 17:08:32 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@waltz.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ace.mak:  Put OS.cpp back into the makefile.

	* ace/config-win32-common.h: Commented out checking of
	  ACE_HAS_WINSOCK2 when we are using NT 4.0 and above.  The
	  original check prevented us from using winsock2.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: 
	* ace/Service_Repository.cpp: 
	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp: 
	* ace/Reactor.cpp: 
	* ace/Proactor.cpp: 
	* ace/Malloc.cpp: 
	* ace/Synch.{h,cpp}:  Changed the lock held by
	  ACE_Static_Object_Lock from ACE_Thread_Mutex to
	  ACE_Recurssive_Thread_Mutex. 

	* ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp (ACE_Timer_Heap_T): Something was missing
	  here..... 

Fri Aug  1 13:39:13 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/TTY_IO.cpp (control): Removed the special M_UNIX code for
	  SCO_OpenServer.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
	  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

	* ace/Read_Buffer.cpp (ACE_Read_Buffer): Mistakenly used int
 	  rather than ACE_HANDLE for one of the constructors in
 	  ACE_Read_Buffer.

	* ace/OS.cpp (readv): Fixed a braino that manifests itself on
 	  Chorus because I put the ACE_READV_TYPE in the wrong place.
  	  Thanks to Wei Chiang for reporting this.

Fri Aug  1 14:31:22 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Timer_Queue_Test.cpp:  removed casts from pointers to ints 
	  (when a act was compared with a number) and instead used a cast 
	  on the integer values.  This gets rid of warnings on platforms 
	  where the sizeof a pointer is larger than the sizeof an int.

Fri Aug 01 12:10:28 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Synch_T: Changed parameter passing for ACE_Atomic_Op from
 	  const TYPE to const TYPE &.

	* ace/Synch.cpp: These specializations have been added to
 	  ACE_Atomic_Op to make the implementation faster on Win32 that
 	  has OS support for doing this quickly through methods like
 	  InterlockedIncrement and InterlockedDecrement.

	* ace/SV_Semaphore_Complex.cpp (open): Fixed more compiler
 	  warnings:

	  IOStream.cpp Naming_Context.cpp Read_Buffer.cpp
 	  SV_Semaphore_Complex.cpp SV_Semaphore_Complex.i

Fri Aug  1 11:57:45 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Containers.h (ACE_Fixed_Set): Eliminated declaration for
 	  unnecessary ACE_Fixed_Set(size_t) CTOR.

	* ace/OS.h: Simplified the typedef of ACE_hrtime_t so that it's an
 	  unsigned long long whenever ACE_HAS_LONG_LONG_T is defined.

Fri Aug 01 10:12:26 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION.
	  Thanks to Thilo for verifying that this is supported with DEC CXX.

	* ace/config-irix6.4-sgic++*.h: added ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SOURCE
	  and ACE_REQUIRES_FUNC_DEFINITIONS.

	* ace/OS.h,README: added ACE_REQUIRES_FUNC_DEFINITIONS support.

	* ace/{Free_List.h,Remote_Tokens.h,Synch_T.h,Timer_*_T.h}:
	  wrapped unimplemented template class copy constructors and
	  assignment operators with ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC.

	* tests/Service_Config_Test.cpp: removed templates to avoid
	  problems with finicky compilers, and added check of destruction
	  ordering.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: added
	  -no_prelink to LDFLAGS.

Fri Aug 01 00:14:46 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.27, released Fri Aug 01 00:14:46 1997.

Thu Jul 31 21:51:01 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp (open): fixed memory leak.

Thu Jul 31 21:41:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Service_Config_Test.cpp (run_test): You won't shout as I...

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp (instance): ... fiddle about ;-)

Thu Jul 31 17:39:56 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace: The following files were modified to avoid the
 	  "unreferenced formal parameter" and other warnings from the
 	  compiler: 

	  ACE.cpp Asynch_IO.cpp Asynch_IO.h INET_Addr.cpp OS.cpp OS.h OS.i
 	  Proactor.cpp Reactor.cpp ReactorEx.cpp ReactorEx.i
 	  SOCK_Dgram_Bcast.cpp Service_Config.cpp

Thu Jul 31 16:46:44 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config*.h: replaced "ACE_REQUIRES_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION"
	  with "ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION".

	* ace/config-vxworks-ghs-1.8.h,config-irix6.4-sgic++*.h: added
	  ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION_PRAGMA.

	* all .cpp files that had "ACE_REQUIRES_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION":
	  replaced with "ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION" and
	  added #pragma instantiate for Edision Design Group compilers,
	  e.g., SGI and Green Hills.

Thu Jul 31 16:25:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Synch.i (acquire): Added the timed acquire() interface to
 	  ACE_Semaphore.

Thu Jul 31 11:10:17 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/run_tests.bat: Redid this file completely making it 
	  much smarter about running tests.  Instead of just blindly
	  executing the tests, it checks the return values to see if
	  an error occured and also outputs relevant errors from the
	  log file if the test was unsuccessful.

	  It's a remarkable example of batch programming wizardry.

Thu Jul 31 10:39:04 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/INET_Addr.cpp: initialized error variable in 
	  gethostname to stop warnings when inlining is on.  

Thu Jul 31 09:46:50 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp: changed cancel(id) to check the timer
	  id to make sure it is in range (not negative and not larger
	  than the current size of the heap)

Thu Jul 31 07:32:26 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* Malloc_T.{i,cpp},Timer_Queue_T.i: replaced LOCK with ACE_LOCK.
	  Thanks to Thilo for supplying patches.

	* ace/config-sunos5.5-g++.h: #define ACE_MALLOC_ALIGN to be 8.

	* ace/Object_Manager.*: renamed cleanup () to at_exit ().

	* Log_Msg.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.cpp: let ACE_Object_Manager
	  clean up the global ACE_Log_Msg_Manager.

	* Service_Config_Test.cpp: added test of
	  ACE_Object_Manager::at_exit ().

Wed Jul 30 20:30:25 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/SOCK_Dgram.h: Added an = 0 to the flags parameter to recv().
  	  Thanks to Michael MacFaden for pointing out the inconsistency.

	* ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): Added support for the SCHED_IO policy,
 	  which is supported by MIT Pthreads.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
 	  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for this fix.

	* ace/SOCK_Dgram.h: Added a comment to clarify how to delete the
 	  elements of the iovec array.  Thanks to Mike MacFaden for
 	  clarifying this.

	* ace/Reactor.h: Changed the comment for schedule_timer() to use
 	  delta_timer rather than delay.

	* ace/Connector: Updated the timer cancellation id to be long
 	  rather than int.

	* examples/Reactor/Misc/notification.cpp: Timers are now working
 	  happily on Chorus, so we can revert the Chorus-specific patches.
  	  Thanks to Wei Chiang for reporting this.

	* ace/SOCK_Dgram.cpp (recv): The timed recv() method must return
 	  -1 on a timeout to meet its documented specification.  Thanks to
 	  Joseph Cross <joseph.k.cross@lmco.com> for reporting this
 	  problem.

	* ace/OS.i (readv): Added a fix for Chorus, which has a different
 	  readv() prototype than normal operating systems.  Thanks to Wei
 	  Chiang for reporting this.

Wed Jul 30 20:02:21 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Hash_Map_Manager.{h,cpp}: changed the *_i methods to use
	  shared_find() method to ease template specialization efforts.
	  Also, added a new shared_find() method.  Added a parameter to
	  each to allow the passing in of the calculated hash value.

Wed Jul 30 16:43:34 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/config-win32-common.h: If _DEBUG is not set (that is, we are
 	  building the Release version), we will turn on __ACE_INLINE__.
  	  Thanks to Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de> for
 	  suggesting this.

Wed Jul 30 06:53:30 1997  Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* The use of the following configuration #defines in the entire
 	  ACE distribution has been changed:

	  - ACE_HAS_WINNT4
	  - ACE_HAS_MFC
	  - ACE_HAS_STRICT
	  - ACE_MT_SAFE
	  - ACE_HAS_DLL
	  - ACE_HAS_SVC_DLL
	  - ACE_HAS_WINSOCK2
	  - ACE_HAS_ORBIX
	  - ACE_HAS_MT_ORBIX

	  In previous ACE-versions, code blocks depending on one of these
 	  defines have been guarded by an #if defined(ACE_XXX_OPTION).
  	  Therefore it has been necessary to define the default
 	  configuration unconditionally in config-win32.h.

	  The #if statements in the source files have been changed to

	  #if defined(ACE_XXX_OPTION) && (ACE_XXX_OPTION != 0)

	  while the default configuration in config-win32.h will only be used,
	  if it has not been overridden from the compilers command line (i.e.) :

	  #if !defined(ACE_XXX_OPTION)
	     #define ACE_XXX_OPTION  1 
	  #endif

Wed Jul 30 14:46:33 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Malloc.cpp:
	* ace/Proactor.cpp:
	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp:
	* ace/Reactor.cpp:
	* ace/Service_Repository.cpp:
	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp:
	* ace/Synch.{h,cpp}: Changed ACE_Static_Object_Lock::get_lock ()
	  to instance () to emphasize that it's a singleton.

	* ace/Containers.cpp:  Fixed the problem caused by
	  ACE_Unbounded_Stacknotkeeping its size currectly. Thanks for
	  Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de> for sending us the
	  patch.

	* ace/OS.cpp (exit): Corrected a bug in ACE_TSS_Cleanup::exit ().
  	  It innocently uses default ctor to copy info_arr.  And things
 	  get out of hand when info_arr[] gets destructed.  Thanks very
 	  much for Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de> for digging
 	  this out and sending us the patch.

Wed Jul 30 13:36:55 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-vxworks-ghs-1.8.h: added #ifdef ppc wrapper around
	  #define of ACE_HAS_POWERPC, because GreenHills #defines that.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: replaced
	  indlib.o LIBS with newer ghsbltin.o and ghsmath.o.

	* ace/OS.h: use the same ACE_UNUSED_ARG definition with ghs as
	  with other compilers.

	* ace/Object_Manager.*: revised interface, but still in flux.
	  cleanup () should work for process-wide registration, but is
	  untested.

Wed Jul 30 11:13:57 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-linux*.h (ACE_HAS_LONGLONG_T): These configs
	  file incorrectly had ACE_HAS_LONGLONG rather than
 	  ACE_HAS_LONGLONG_T.

	* ace/OS.cpp (gethrtime): Added 'volatile' keyword to insure that
 	  the automatic variables 'most' and 'least' don't get put into
 	  registers.  Putting this in stopped the SIGSEGV that was occurring
 	  in Linux.

Wed Jul 30 06:53:30 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.26, released Wed Jul 30 06:53:30 1997.

Wed Jul 30 04:36:39 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Containers.{h,cpp}: Added back new parameterized allocation
	  strategy version.  Finally.

	* ace/Synch.cpp (atexit): Moved ACE_Allocator here because only
	  here, we can be sure that no other user defined memory
	  activities are going on.  This is becoming even more
	  interesting now....  Perhaps we should move all
	  close_singleton's here? 

	* ace/Service_Config.cpp (close_singletons): Removed
	  ACE_Allocator::close_singleton () from this function because we
	  still need ACE_Allocator to "free" static objects' memory.

	* ace/Synch.{h,cpp}: Added a new class ACE_Static_Object_Lock
	  which provides a lock when instantiating static objects.

	* ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Removed ace_thread_manager_lock_,
	* ace/Service_Repository.cpp: Removed ace_service_repository_lock_,
	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp: Removed ace_reactorex_lock_,
	* ace/Reactor.cpp: Removed ace_reactor_lock_,
	* ace/Proactor.cpp: Removed ace_proactor_lock_,
	* ace/Malloc.cpp: Removed ace_malloc_lock_, 
	  and replace them with a global single lock
	  ACE_Static_Object_Lock::get_lock ().
	
Tue Jul 29 16:25:48 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): Explicitly flagged 'stack' and 'size'
 	  as unused arguments.

	* ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (handle_signal): Explicitly flagged siginfo
 	  as an unused argument, and moved the decl of offset into the
 	  conditional block in which it's used.

	* ace/OS.i (dlerror): Added explicit cast of the return value to
 	  (char*) because on Linux dlerror() returns const char*, while on
 	  Solaris it's char*.

	* ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h: Created new flag
 	  ACE_LACKS_POSIX_PROTO_FOR_SOME_FUNCS that can be used when only
 	  certain functions are missing POSIX prototypes.  This eliminates
 	  more warnings with -Wall

	* ace/ACE.cpp (max_handles): Added return statement for the
 	  RLIMIT_NOFILE case.
	  (count_interfaces): Removed unused variables.

Tue Jul 29 15:10:35 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i: Changed sema_wait to take in a const ACE_Time_Value

Tue Jul 29 12:41:27 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h: Added the
 	  ACE_LACKS_PWD_FUNCTIONS macro.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
 	  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

Tue Jul 29 13:10:00 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Signal.h: Moved inclusion of "Containers.h" to the bottom of
	  this file so everything is defined properly before use.

Tue Jul 29 12:36:24 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (main): Removed dynamic allocation
	  of the string array.

Tue Jul 29 12:15:49 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Proactor.cpp 
	* ace/Reactor.cpp:
	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp: Changed the default Timer Queue to 
	  Timer Heap instead of Timer List.  

Tue Jul 29 07:59:04 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* Makefile,TAO/Makefile: change mode of updated ChangeLog-*
	  file to 644 after updating it, when building a release
	  with TIMESTAMP enabled.

	* ace/OS.cpp (sched_params): added some more initializations
	  to 0 to avoid Purify warnings about unitialized memory reads.

	* ace/Object_Manager.cpp (~ACE_Object_Manager): removed unused
	  variable "i".  Thanks to Amos Shapira <amos@gezernet.co.il>
	  for reporting this.

	* ace/Service_Record.{h,i} Parse_Node.{h,cpp} (handle,open_handle):
	  removed "const" from ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE return value.  Thanks
	  to the several people who noted compiler warnings from this.

	* ace/Naming_Context.cpp: added delete of this->name_options_;
	  (dtor,fini): call this->close ().

	* tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (client,server): use ACE_NEW_RETURN
	  instead of new.

Tue Jul 29 01:53:18 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: Added two new macros ACE_NEW_MALLOC_RETURN and
	  ACE_NEW_MALLOC.  Theses are similiar to ACE_ALLOCATOR_RETURN and
	  ACE_ALLOCATOR that allow memory allocation using user defined
	  functions.  However, these two macros will call specified
	  constructor after memory is being allocated.

	* ace/Containers.{h,cpp}: Decoupled memory allocation strategy for
 	  ACE_Unbounded_Stack, ACE_Unbounded_Set, ACE_Unbounded_Queue.
	  Users can now specified their own memory allocation strategies
	  if needed.  If not specified, the default ACE_Allocator will be
	  used.

Tue Jul 29 00:56:54 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.25, released Tue Jul 29 00:56:54 1997.

Mon Jul 28 16:23:26 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/rules.nested.GNU: added missing
	  semicolon at end of last statement.  Thanks to Amos
	  Shapira <amos@gezernet.co.il> for providing this fix.

	* ace/OS.h (VxWorks only): only #include <stdarg.h> before
	  <vxWorks.h> for GreenHills.  Thanks to Dave Moore
          <dave.moore@gecm.com> for reporting a problem without this
          fix with g++/VxWorks 5.3.1 for PowerPC target.
          Also, commented out g++ string.h hack.  It no longer appears
          to be necessary.

        * tests/README: added VxWorks 5.3.1 test status.

	* tests/SPIPE_Test.cpp (main): fixed #ifdefs so that it compiles.

	* ace/OS.i: (strtok_r): replaced NULL with 0.  NULL is #defined
	  as (void *) 0 on VxWorks, so it causes compile warnings.
	  Thanks to Dave Mayerhoefer <davem@lynx.com> for reporting
	  this problem.

	* ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp},Makefile: added this class to
	  shutdown ACE library services, and reclaim their storage,
	  at program termination.

	* ace/ACE.cpp: added hook to call ACE_Object_Manager destructor
	  in this file.  It's in this file so that it's sure to be
	  linked in to executables that statically link libACE.a.

	* ace/Service_Config.{h,cpp}: (close): delete ACE_STATIC_SVCS
	  instance, which is now saved in static_svcs_.  Also, removed
	  LM_SHUTDOWN call, because the logger apparently gets shutdown
	  now with everything else (with ACE_Object_Manager).

	* ace/Object_Manager.* (delete_at_exit,delete_array_at_exit):
	  made these (inline) static functions, with return values.

	* tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (client,server): explicitly destroy
	  (and create) ACE_SOCK_IOStream instances, because they don't
	  get destroyed on Solaris.  They're on the stack of separate
	  threads, so maybe the problem is related to not cleaning up
	  TSS on Solaris.  Thanks to James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>
	  for some efficient debugging work, and for verifying that the
	  original code works properly on Linux.

Mon Jul 28 21:59:09 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ace.mak: Added file Object_Manager.cpp.

	* ace/OS.h: Added #define RTLD_LAZY when
	  ACE_HAS_SVR4_DYNAMIC_LINKING and RTLD_LAZY is not defined.
	  FreeBSD 2.2.1 "forgot" to put in this definition.  Thanks to
	  Satoshi Ueno for reporting this.

Mon Jul 28 13:27:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Object_Manager: Made a few minor stylistic updates.

	* netsvcs/servers/main.cpp (main): Updated this test program to
	  utilize the new ACE_Service_Object_Ptr class.

	* ace/Service_Object.h: Added a new smart pointer call
 	  ACE_Service_Object_Ptr, which generalizes functionality that was
 	  previously in the ./netsvcs/server/main.cpp file.  Thanks to Wei
 	  Chiang for this suggestion.

	* examples/Threads/process_manager.cpp (parse_args): Removed the
 	  unused n_processes global variable.  Thanks to Amos Shapira for
 	  reporting this.

	* tests/SPIPE_Test.cpp (main): Cleaned up the #ifdef structure
	  to remove compiler warnings.  Thanks to Amos Shapira for
	  this.

	* tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp (test_performance): Removed an unused
 	  ACE_HANDLE handle definition.  Thanks to Amos Shapira for
 	  reporting this.

	* ace/OS.i (sema_init): Swapped else and #endif to avoid
	  a compile error when ACE_LACKS_NAMED_POSIX_SEM is false.
	  Thanks to Wei Chiang for reporting this.

	* ace/OS.cpp (rwlock_init): Added a cast to (const void *) to keep
 	  certain compilers from complaining.  Thanks to Thilo and
	  Amos Shapira for reporting this.

	* ace/OS.i (sema_wait): *tv should have been &tv.  Thanks to Thilo
 	  for reporting this.

Mon Jul 28 13:57:21 1997  James C Hu <jxh@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/config-irix6.4-sgic++.h: Added template specialization #def.

Sun Jul 27 20:47:01 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp: Instantiate templates with
	  ACE_HANDLE instead of int.

	* examples/IPC_SAP/SPIPE_SAP/NPServer.cpp (main): use
	  ACE_OS::fprintf () instead of cerr.

Sun Jul 27 20:10:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ACE version 4.2.24, released Sun Jul 27 20:10:26 1997.

Sun Jul 27 16:03:30 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp (test_boundaries): Changed class of
	  queue from ACE_Unbounded_Queue<int> to
 	  ACE_Unbounded_Queue<ACE_HANDLE> so it declares the right data
 	  type.

	* ace/Synch.cpp (ACE_Process_Mutex): 
	* ace/OS.cpp (rwlock_init): 
	* ace/ACE.cpp (unique_name): Memories for placing unique_name are
	  now declared using ACE_UNIQUE_NAME_LEN.  When calling
 	  ACE::unique_name, the length is also specified using
 	  ACE_UNIQUE_NAME_LEN because using "sizeof (buffer)" also caused
 	  problem if we are using UNICODE.

	* ace/OS.h: Added a new directive ACE_UNIQUE_NAME_LEN to specified
	  the maximum length of an "unique name." 

Sun Jul 27 15:32:08 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp (main): uncommented
	  test_duplicates () and test_performance () calls, and added
	  ACE_Unbounded_Queue_Iterator<int> specialization.

Sun Jul 27 14:25:33 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp (test_boundaries): Added a better test
 	  to ensure that the ACE_Handle_Set_Iterators are working
 	  correctly.  This works by inserting the handles in a queue and
 	  then making sure that they are the same values we receive from
 	  the iterator.

	* ace/Handle_Set.i (operator): Fixed a subtle bug in the
	  ACE_Handle_Set_Iterator implementation.  We need to make
	  sure that we increment the handle_index_ to the beginning
	  of the next word whenever we've examined all the bits in
	  the current word.  Thanks to David Levine for noticing this
 	  problem.
  
Sun Jul 27 09:06:29 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: replaced hard-coded ".so"
	  with "$(SOEXT)".

	* include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: added/completed support
	  for "$(SOEXT)", and "$(VSHDIR)" instead of always hard-coding
	  them as ".so" and ".shobj/".

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added support for
	  override of "$(VSHDIR)" in platform_macros.GNU.

	* apps/JAWS/clients/{Blobby,Caching}/Makefile,
	  apps/JAWS/stress_testing/Makefile,
	  apps/Orbix-Examples/Event_Comm/{Consumer,Supplier}/Makefile,
	  examples/ASX/Event_Server/Event_Server/Makefile,
	  examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/Makefile,
	  examples/Logger/simple-server/Makefile,
	  examples/Mem_Map/IO-tests/Makefile,
	  examples/Naming/Makefile,
	  examples/Reactor/Multicast/Makefile,
	  examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/Makefile,
	  examples/Shared_Malloc/Makefile:
	  replaced hard-coded ".shobj" with "$(VSHDIR)" in LDLIBS definitions.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_{g++,ghs}.GNU:
	  added overrides of .so build rules to change them .o builds.

	The above changes allow builds of modules that specify .shobj/*.so
	on VxWorks, by mapping those objects to .obj/*.o.

Sun Jul 27 03:07:35 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE.cpp (unique_name): Added __TEXT macro to the format
 	  string in sprintf to avoid a nasty problem when using UNICODE on
 	  NT.

Sat Jul 26 21:12:07 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ReactorEx.cpp: added a couple of ACE_UNUSED_ARG's.

	* examples/Logger/simple-server/Logging_Handler.cpp (handle_input):
	  replace use of cerr with stderr (by using default arg of
	  ACE_Log_Record::print ()).

	* examples/Shared_Malloc/test_multiple_mallocs.cpp (main): use
	  ACE_OS::printf () instead of cout.

	* examples/Shared_Malloc/test_persistence.cpp: added #include
	  of iostream.h with ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

Sat Jul 26 15:55:43 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Cached_Allocator): Changed (T *) to
 	  (T*). VC++ did not like the former.

	* The entire ACE distribution was updated to use the new singleton
 	  methods.  The old singleton methods in Service_Config have been
 	  deprecated and users are encouraged not to use these methods
 	  anymore.  It may not be supported in future releases.  The
 	  replacement is the instance() methods in the individual classes.
  	  For example, ACE_Service_Config::reactor() is replaced by
 	  ACE_Reactor::instance().  A perl script has been added
	  (ACE_wrappers/bin/Service_Config.perl) to allow users to change
 	  their code over to the new methods.

	  These changes will hopefully help in reducing the compile-time
 	  dependencies in ACE source files and allow smaller custom ACE
	  libraries to be compiled.

	  Thanks to Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de> for making
	  these changes.
	
Sat Jul 26 15:44:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Cached_Allocator): I think we want to
	  say "sizeof (T)" rather than "sizeof (T *)".

	* ace/FILE_IO.i (recv_n): There is a minor bug fix to be made in
 	  FILE_IO.i.  The method ACE_FILE_IO::recv_n() should call
 	  ACE::read_n(), not ACE::recv_n().  Similarly, the method
 	  ACE_FILE_IO::send_n() should call ACE::write_n(), not
 	  ACE::send_n().  The functions ::recv() and ::send() are intended
 	  only for *socket* I/O, and return failure conditions when
 	  applied to *file* I/O.  Thanks to David Brackman
 	  <dbrackman@OhioEE.com> for reporting this.

	* ace: Changed all LOCK names to ACE_LOCK to avoid clashes
	  with macros in the KAI C++ compiler.  Thanks to Jeff
	  R. Hayes <Jeff.Hayes@osi.com> for pointing this out.

	* ace/Malloc_T.i: Added ACE_INLINE to some methods that weren't
	  getting inlined.

	* ace/OS.i: Added an implementation of timed semaphores for the
 	  POSIX threading APIs.  Also cleaned up the return values from
 	  sema_wait() so that it always returns -1 if an error occurs
	  (originally, it was returning -2, which is confusing).  Also
 	  cleaned up the rd_lock() and wr_lock() methods in the same way.

Sat Jul 26 16:00:05 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Cached_Allocator): fixed typo, sizeof (T*)
	  instead of sizeof (*T).

	* Proactor.cpp (instance): fixed signature in non-WIN32
	  version.  (run_event_loop): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (tv).

Fri Jul 25 12:08:47 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.[hi]: finished VxWorks (non-POSIX) semaphore implementation.

	* ace/Process.cpp (spawn): with GreenHills compiler only (for
	  VxWorks), call ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN instead of spawning via execve.
	  GreenHills 1.8.8 loses its lunch on the ACE_OS::execve () call.
	  Thanks to Dave Mayerhoefer <davem@lynx.com> for reporting
	  this problem.

	* tests/Mem_Map_Test.cpp (create_test_file): delete array "mybuf"
	  to prevent memory leak.

	* tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (main): delete "buffer"
	  elements at end of test to prevent memory leaks.

	* performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: use
	  ACE_Sched_Params for platform-independent thread priority
	  assignment.  Also, modified Yield_Test so that only one thread
	  writes the test's timer.

	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/Peer_Router.cpp (svc):
	  replaced an iostream printout with an ACE_DEBUG call.

	* examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/event_server.cpp: added
	  #include of iostream.h with ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

	* examples/IPC_SAP/FILE_SAP/client.cpp: require 2 args instead
	  of 1; mask file mode with 0777 (octal); and use
	  ACE_OS::printf () instead of cout.

Fri Jul 25 00:46:22 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Synch: Added documentation for Condition variables.  Thanks
 	  to Jeff <jmg@trivida.com> for pointing out the lack of
 	  documentation.

Thu Jul 24 11:48:05 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* Makefile,TAO/Makefile: added a filter to exclude backup and
	  [.]#* files from releases.  Thanks to Carlos O'Ryan
          <coryan@mat.puc.cl> for reporting this problem.

	* include/makeinclude/platform_*.GNU: inserted CVS/RCS
	  keyword string.

	* performance-tests/Misc/basic_perf.cpp (per_iteration):
	  added support for ACE_U_LongLong.

	* performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp:
	  (prof_fork,prof_native_thread): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs
	  for unsupported platforms.  (prof_ace_os_thread): added
	  (ACE_THR_FUNC) cast of first arg to ACE_OS::thr_create () call.

	* performance-tests/Misc/test_naming.cpp (find): replaced cerr
	  statement with an ACE_DEBUG.

	* examples/Misc/test_read_buffer.cpp: replaced bare OS calls
	  with ACE_OS calls.

Thu Jul 24 11:35:37 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp:  Fixed a problem with reschedule()
	  corrupting the free list in Timer Heap.  Thanks to 
	  James Crawford <jamesc@in.ot.com.au>, Silvano Peruzzi 
	  <silvanop@in.ot.com.au>, and Stuart Powell <stuartp@in.ot.com.au>
	  for the fix.

Wed Jul 23 23:29:15 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

	* ace/Message_Block.cpp (size): Changed the comparison from
 	  (length < this->max_size_) to (length <= this->max_size_).
  	  Thanks to Paul <proman@npac.syr.edu> for suggesting this change.

Wed Jul 23 21:54:23 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp (spawn): cast argv
	  argument to (char *const *) for call to ACE_OS::execv ().

Wed Jul 23 16:40:39 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces): ACE'ified codes for NT.  UNIX
	  part will come later.

	* ace/Malloc_T.cpp (ACE_Cached_Allocator): Changed to use raw
	  memory allocation method for memory pool.

	* ace/OS.h (ACE_TEXT_STRING): Added this #define macro to switch
	  between ACE_WString and ACE_CString according to the usage of
	  UNICODE. 

Wed Jul 23 14:43:11 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Timer_Queue_Test.cpp(main): delete timer_id array at
	  the end of the test to avoid a memory leak.

Wed Jul 23 13:40:39 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Process.cpp (ACE_Tokenizer::next): Moved checking of string
	  termination after checking delimiter and preserve_designator so
 	  that we can use this class to tokenize multiple null terminated
 	  strings cascaded together (using \0 as delimitor.)  Notice tne
	  combined strings must be terminated with two null chars.  I need
	  to use this class in ACE::get_ip_interfaces.

	* ace/Malloc_T.{h,i}:  Changed the implementation of
	  ACE_Cached_Mem_Pool_Node from using union to a plain pointer.
	  This is because some C++ compilers don't allow union member to
	  have copy constructor.  Thanks to Tim to dig this out.

Wed Jul 23 12:58:04 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

	* ace/CORBA_Ref.cpp: Added #include "ace/Log_Msg.h" to catch the
	  ACE_DEBUG macro.
