Wed Jan  7 13:38:28 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Service_Repository.cpp (close): Removed a fragment of
 	  redundant code.  Thanks to Eric Newton <ecn@smart.net> and Alex
 	  Chan <Alex.Chan@Aspect.com> for reporting this.

Tue Jan 06 17:19:13 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/Containers.{h,cpp} (ACE_Unbounded_Set[_Iterator]):  Added
	  STL-styled iterator functions.  Changed the internal
	  representation of ACE_Unbounded_Set within iterators from a
	  reference to a pointer.  We need this to compare if two
	  iterators are refering to the same set or not.

Tue Jan  6 14:11:54 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* tests/Reader_Writer_Test.cpp: 
	  Reverted to revision 4.21 since the latest one (4.23) fails;
	  thanks to Irfan for this solution.

Tue Jan 06 10:37:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): moved the #if 0 up a bit so
          that it builds on Linux/non-glibc.  For some reason, its
          preprocessor was getting confused.

        * ace/OS.i (nanosleep): convert nanoseconds to microseconds
          by dividing by 1000, not multiplying.  Thanks to
          Mitch Kuninsky <Mitch_Kuninsky@avid.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/config-mvs.h: added ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T because MVS doesn't
          support it.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr <gehr@sweng.stortek.com> for
          confirming that.

Mon Jan  5 01:20:51 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.{h,cpp}: Made operator == and != and their
          arguments const.

Sun Jan 04 19:45:47 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/IPC_SAP.cpp (enable,disable): moved return 0 at end
          to inside the #endif, to avoid warning about unreachable
          return statement on ghs/VxWorks.  Thanks to Brian Mendel
          for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): moved return 0 inside the
          #if 0 block to avoid warning about unreachable return statement
          on ghs/VxWorks.  Thanks to Brian Mendel for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (rw)
          to temporary code.

        * ace/Basic_Types.{h,i},README: replaced ACE_HAS_LONGLONG_T with
          ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T.  ACE_HAS_LONGLONG_T was no longer
          being used on many platforms with the scheme in Basic_Types.h.
          From now on, we'll assume that a platform has long long
          (unless ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T is #defined), which should help
          porting to new platforms.

        * ace/config-aix-4.{1,2}.x.h,config-dgux-4.11-epc.h,
          config-linux-{common,kcc}.h,config-lynxos.h,config-m88k.h,
          config-osf1-*.h,config-sunos5.*.h,config-tandem.h:
          removed ACE_HAS_LONGLONG_T.

        * ace/config-chorus.h,config-psosim-g++.h,config-vxworks*.h:
          added ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T.

        * ace/Basic_Types.{h,i} (ACE_U_LongLong):  fixed operator/, and
          added operator% and operator--.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.*: changed type of global_scale_factor_ from
          u_long to ACE_UINT32.  Removed some hacks now that ACE_U_LongLong
          has operator%.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: added tests of ACE_U_LongLong
          operator/ and operator%.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added link to Cygus repo patches.  Thanks
          to Achint Sandhu <sandhu@nortel.ca> for providing the URL.

        * ace/OS.{h,i}: added ACE_OS::putenv ().

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: use ACE_OS::putenv ().

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: expect (unsigned long) -10 for
          TEST_VALUE_NEGATIVE converted to an unsigned long.
          Thanks to Jack Erickson <JErickson@exchange.ml.com> for
          verifying that it _should_ return (unsigned long) -10.

        * ace/OS.i (strtoul): on Linux with glibc, use ::strtol instead of
          ::strtoul and cast the result to an unsigned long.  Its ::strtoul
          always seems to return 0 for a negative number, at least on
          RedHat 4.2/Linux 2.0.30/Alpha with glibc 2.0 (0.961212-5).

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: factored out
          ACE_LACKS_SOME_POSIX_PROTOTYPES from glibc and non-glibc
          sections to common section.

        * etc/purify.solaris2: added suppression of MIU from putenv.

Sun Jan 04 17:19:31 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.15, released Sun Jan 04 17:19:31 1998.

Sun Jan  4 10:11:53 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): Temporarily comments out this
          method since we need to finish implementing it correctly.

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): Fixed a minor bug where we
          weren't releasing the lock correctly if there were competing
          readers.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Event_Channel.cpp (put): Uncommented the
          code that sets the appropriate locking strategy for the Message
          Blocks.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Connection_Handler.h: Made the
          remote_addr() and local_addr() accessor methods return
          const-correct values.

        * build/SunOS5.5/ace/OS: Revised a bunch of #ifdefs so that we can
          selectively enable the ACE rwlock emulation, even if we're
          compiling with ACE_HAS_STHREADS in order to get the native
          Solaris semaphores.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Makefile: Tweaked the Makefile rules to fix
          some minor problems.  Thanks to David Levine for showing the
          way...

Sun Jan 04 12:37:02 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: hacked to work with
          ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.  With that, it uses ::putenv (),
          which we should wrap in ACE_OS.  Also, expanded TEST_THIS to
          provide a more helpful log message than just the ASSERT output.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x-g++.h: removed
          ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION.

        * tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp (main): added casts of i->ext_id_
          and i->int_id_ to (char *) to force g++/VxWorks to apply the
          conversion from Dumb_String to char *.

Sun Jan 04 09:51:59 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options.{h,cpp}: Removed macros to export
          this class out of DLL.  They are no longer needed.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.dsp:  Updated source file listings.

Sat Jan  3 22:25:15 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Changed the name of the ACE_Event_Channel
          class to Event_Channel since this class wasn't a part of the ACE
          library.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Event_Channel.h: Updated the inheritance
          relationship for Event_Channel so that it inherits from
          ACE_Event_Handler rather than ACE_Task.  ACE_Task was
          overkill...

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Removed the supplier_id from all the
          files.  We didn't use this anyway and it was just confusing.
          Also, renamed Proxy_* to Connection_* to underscore the fact
          that the Supplier_Handler and Consumer_Handler work atop
          *connections*.  The previous naming scheme was too abstract for
          its own good.

Sat Jan 03 14:16:40 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (ACE_Map[_Reverse]_Iterator): Fixed the
          initial iterator position.

Fri Jan 02 18:43:14 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.14, released Fri Jan 02 18:43:14 1998.

Fri Jan  2 17:39:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Options.cpp (Options): Rearranged the order of
          the parameters in the base/member initialization section to make
          GCC happy.  Thanks to David Levine for getting on me about this.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options.h: Changed DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
          to MAX_TIMEOUT to be consistent.  Thanks to David
          Levine for reporting this.

Fri Jan  2 17:25:05 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp: Added codes to test STL-styled
          functions in ACE_Map_Manager.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Proxy_Handler.cpp:
        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Proxy_Handler_Connector.cpp:
        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Event_Channel.cpp:
        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer.cpp:

        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_spipe_connector.cpp:
        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_tli_connector.cpp:
        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_lsock_connector.cpp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/manual.cpp:
        * netsvcs/lib/TS_Clerk_Handler.cpp:
        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Proxy_Handler_Connector.cpp: Added some
          more explicit template instantiations.

        * ace/Map_Manager.{h,cpp}:  Added back comparison operators for
          ACE_Map_Iterator and ACE_Map_Reverse_Iterator.

        * ace/Token_Invariants.cpp:
        * ace/Token_Collection.cpp:
        * ace/Token_Manager.cpp: Added missing ACE_Map_Reverse_Iterator.

        * ace/Map_Manager.h: Remove unnecessary method declarations from
          ACE_Map_Iterator adn ACE_Map_Reverse_Iterator.

        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_tli_connector.cpp:
        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_sock_connector.cpp:
        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/test_lsock_connector.cpp:

        * ace/Token_Invariants.cpp:
        * ace/Token_Collection.cpp:
        * ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp: Added explicit template instantiation
          for ACE_Map_Iterator_Base.

        * ace/Map_Manager.{h,cpp}: Added a new class ACE_Map_Iterator_Base
          to abstract out most common functionalities from
          ACE_Map_Iterator and ACE_Map_Reverse_Iterator.  Added some
          missing functions to both iterator classes.

Fri Jan  2 12:39:45 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.h:
          Another declaration removed from ACE_Map_Reverse_Iterator,
          operator* is defined in the base class.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Priority_Reactor_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp:
          The instantiation of ACE_Map_Manager *requires* instantiating
          ACE_Map_Reverse_Iterator.

        * ace/OS.i:
          Cannot use ACE_ASSERT in OS.i, at least it make SGI compiler
          unhappy.

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp:
          Several methods for ACE_Map_Manager were not given their fully
          qualified name.

        * ace/OS.i:
          The error code should be stored in errno, not in "error".

Fri Jan  2 17:02:36 1998  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: Added Env_Value_Test to the list of tests to
          run.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): Fixed wrong test for negative
          values with unsigned longs.  Thanks to David Levine and
          Linux/Alpha for finding this.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): Changed the definition of the
          TEST_THIS macro to be all on one line.  While ugly, this helps in
          locating the line when ACE_ASSERT fails, since allowing the macro
          to have multiple lines skews the line # reported by ACE_ASSERT.

        * ace/Env_Value_T.*: Fixed lots of little bugs that got past both
          g++ and Solaris compilers, but were caught by the ever-skeptical
          SGI compiler.  This included providing a definition for the missing
          'varname(void)' method.

Fri Jan 02 10:12:28 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-hpux-10.x-g++.h: Added #define HPUX_10 to catch OS
          version-dependent code correctly.

Fri Jan 02 07:06:44 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Makefile: restored the .obj/*.o targets.
          They don't affect the build of the shared lib and are used if
          the unshared lib is built.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options.h: added missing , in enum definition.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options.cpp (Options ctor): reordered
          initializers to match declaration order.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Config_Files.cpp (read_entry): fixed syntax
          error, missing "if" after "else".  Added #include of Options.h.

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (rw) with
          STHREADS.

        * ace/Synch.i (tryacquire_write_upgrade): only define if
          ACE_HAS_THREADS.

        * tests/test_config.h: hacked ACE_INIT_LOG to work on VxWorks.
          VxWorks gets upset if its asked to unlink a nonexistant file.

        * ace/Basic_Types.*: if using ACE_U_LongLong, #define
          ACE_USES_ACE_U_LONGLONG and use that in the .i and .cpp files
          instead of repeating all of the complex preprocessor tests
          in Basic_Types.h.  Thanks to Carlos for suggesting this.

        * ace/Env_Value_T.cpp: added protection against multiple inclusion.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: added ACE_Env_Value<long> instantiation.

Fri Jan 02 00:47:33 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.13, released Fri Jan 02 00:47:33 1998.

Fri Jan  2 00:17:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Reader_Writer_Test.cpp: Changed from an ACE_RW_Mutex to an
          ACE_RW_Thread_Mutex so that we can use the new
          tryacquire_write_upgrade() method.

        * ace/Env_Value_T.h: Reformatted the file a bit to conform to
          ACE coding conventions.

Thu Jan  1 12:04:29 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Options.cpp (parse_args): Changed the option
          to set the passive acceptor port from -p to -a.  This is now
          consistent with the option for active connector port number,
          which is -c.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.cpp (fini): Added a call to
          ACE::remove_stdin_handler(), which removes the handler for
          ACE_STDIN so the gatewayd will shutdown cleanly.

        * ace/ACE: Added a new method, remove_stdin_handler(), which is
          the inverse of the register_stdin_handler() method.  However,
          I'm not sure how to make this work on NT!

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/notification.cpp: Removed some
          CHORUS-specific, which should be a no-op with our new signal()
          and sigaction() scheme.

        * ace/OS.i: Enhanced the signal() and sigaction() wrappers so that
          they simply ignore signums of 0.  This means that we don't need
          to special case all this stuff throughout ACE anymore.

        * ace/OS.h: Changed all the #defines for various SIG* so that they
          are all 0.  This way, we can ensure that the signal() functions
          in ACE_OS can correctly ignore these signals.  This should clean
          up a ton of platform-dependent code throughout ACE.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/File_Parser.cpp (getint): Added a new
          special-case check for the '*' character, which indicates "use
          the default value for this field."

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options: Added a new option to provide a
          default max retry timeout.

        * tests/Reader_Writer_Test.cpp: Enhanced the test so that it
          exercises the new "upgrade" feature of RW_Thread_Mutexes.

        * ace/{OS,Synch}: Added new methods,
          ACE_OS::rw_trywrlock_upgrade() and
          ACE_RW_Thread_Mutex::tryacquire_write_upgrade() that
          conditionally upgrade a read lock to a write lock.  This only
          works if there are no other readers present, in which case the
          method returns 0.  Otherwise, the method returns -1 and sets
          errno to EBUSY.  Note that the caller of this method *must*
          already possess this lock as a read lock.

        * apps/Gateway/{Gateway,Peer}/Makefile: Removed the $(VLIB) macro
          so that we don't try to build the lib*.a files by default.
          Thanks to David Levine for explaining this.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway: Added new Options.{h,cpp} files and
          rearranged the program to centralize all options processing in
          an Options Singleton.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Options.cpp (parse_args): Changed the
          connector and acceptor options to use a more generalizable
          format.  Now we can set the Consumer and Supplier port numbers
          independently.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Event.h: This is currently where the macros
          from the following bullets have been moved, so they can be
          shared by the Peer and Gateway components.

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the ACE_DEFAULT_{GATEWAY,PEER}_SERVER_PORT
          macros into the Gateway application, where they belong.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Options.cpp (parse_args): Changed the option
          to set the passive acceptor port from -p to -a.  This is now
          consistent with the option for active connector port number,
          which is -c.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.cpp (fini): Added a call to
          ACE::remove_stdin_handler(), which removes the handler for
          ACE_STDIN so the gatewayd will shutdown cleanly.

        * ace/ACE: Added a new method, remove_stdin_handler(), which is
          the inverse of the register_stdin_handler() method.  However,
          I'm not sure how to make this work on NT!

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/notification.cpp: Removed some CHORUS-specific
          code, which should be a no-op with our new signal() and sigaction()
          scheme.

        * ace/OS.i: Enhanced the signal() and sigaction() wrappers so that
          they simply ignore signums of 0.  This means that we don't need
          to special case all this stuff throughout ACE anymore.

        * ace/OS.h: Changed all the #defines for various SIG* so that they
          are all 0.  This way, we can ensure that the signal() functions
          in ACE_OS can correctly ignore these signals.  This should clean
          up a ton of platform-dependent code throughout ACE.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.cpp (init): Revised the code a bit
          to factor out platform-dependent signal handling stuff in the
          right place.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/gatewayd.cpp: Cleaned up the gatewayd main
          program so that it reuses more ACE components and so that it is
          more portable.

Thu Jan 01 18:24:56 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.dsp:  Added new file Options.cpp.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options.cpp (ACE_BUILD_SVC_DLL): Added
          #define ACE_BUILD_SVC_DLL.

        * netsvcs/lib/Base_Optimizer.i: Removed this file.

        * netsvcs/lib/Base_Optimizer.h: Added codes to include in the
          source file conditionally if needed.

        * netsvcs/lib/Base_Optimizer.cpp: Moved template implementation
          from .i file.  Removed ACE_INLINE keyword.

        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp: Added explicit template
          instantiation macros.

Thu Jan 01 17:13:06 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer.cpp (Peer_Connector::open): added
          return 0 statement at end.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Options.cpp (Options ctor): reordered
          initializers to match declaration order.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Makefile: removed LOBJ and SHOBJ macros
          because they're not needed.  And, restored BUILD so that static
          lib will be built if requested.

        * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: added OBJEXT macro, defaulted
          to "o", and use it in VOBJS definition.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: if building shared libs
          only, set OBJEXT to "so" and VDIR to .shobj/, so that only shared
          objects will be built.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer.cpp: added template instantiations.

        * netsvcs/lib/Base_Optimizer.*,Makefile: moved inline functions
          to .i file and changed inline to ACE_INLINE.

        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.{h,cpp}: don't use
          Base_Optimizer with g++.  Some versions of g++ 2.7.x have
          trouble with its inline template member functions, especially
          if __ACE_INLINE__ is disabled.

Thu Jan 01 07:56:17 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.12, released Thu Jan 01 07:56:17 1998.

Thu Jan 01 00:28:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer.dsp: Added a new file "Options.cpp" into
          this project.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): Changed variable name: 'environ'
          to 'envp'.  Real OSes don't understand what the word means
          and Access Violations will occur.

        * tests/run_tests.bat: Added Env_Value_Test.

        * tests/version_tests/version_tests.dsw:
        * tests/tests.dsw: Added Env_Value_Test.dsp.

        * tests/version_tests/Env_Value_Test.dsp:
        * tests/Env_Value_Test.dsp:  New file.

Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Happy New Year!  Here's a thought for the new year, courtesy of
          Sumedh:

          Nothing in the world is permanent,
          and we're foolish when we ask anything to last;
          but surely we're still more foolish
          not to take delight in it while we have it.

                  - W.Somerset Maugham (Razor's Edge)

Wed Dec 31 19:10:59 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer: Added the hooks for making the Peer a
          Connector, as well as an Acceptor.  Now it's time to have some
          fun.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/peerd.cpp: Cleaned up the peerd main program
          so that it reuses more ACE components and so that it is more
          portable.

        * netsvcs/servers/main.cpp (main): Revised the code a bit to
          factor out platform-dependent signal handling stuff in the right
          place.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer: Factored out some common initialization code
          to create an Options Singleton.  Yowza!

        * apps/Gateway/README: Improved the documentation so that its
          easier to tell what's supposed to happen and how to configure
          the system.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer: Moved the Peer_Acceptor into the Peer.h
          file and updated the documentation to clarify what's going on
          better.

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/: Enhanced the examples to make sure they
          close() the dgram endpoint when the object is removed from the
          Reactor.  Thanks to Evgeny Beskrovny
          <evgeny_beskrovny@icomverse.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Obstack.cpp: Fixed a stupid bug in the ACE_Obstack
          constructor.  Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.

        * ace/Local_Name_Space_T.h: Updated the documentation for class
          ACE_Name_Space_Map to make it more clear.

Wed Dec 31 21:21:50 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/{CO,Dgram.cpp} (handle_close): added
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG (handle).

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): removed unused arg argv and
          local envargv.  undef'ed ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER because
          it can't deal with the three arguments to main ().

Wed Dec 31 16:25:16 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Env_Value_T.*: Added a new template (ACE_Env_Value) which is
          a typesafe encapsulation of environment variables with the
          ability to provide a value to be used as a default if the
          variable isn't set.  An example of its use can be seen in the
          corresponding test, tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp.  Thanks to Carlos
          O'Ryan for giving me the seed that started this.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: Added test for the new template added
          above.

        * tests/Makefile: Added new Env_Value_Test test to the Makefile.

        * ace/OS.{h,i} (strtod): Added new function for converting strings
          to doubles.

Tue Dec 30 22:07:44 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (elapsed_time): added a cast in
          calculation of useconds to avoid MSVC++ warning about narrowing.
          Thanks to Nanbor for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i (gethrtime): commented out high-res tick counter on Linux
          because it doesn't seem to work properly.  Use ::gettimeofday ()
          instead.

        * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp (main): replaced #ifdef VXWORKS && ghs
          with !ifdef ACE_HAS_WCHAR_TYPEDEFS_CHAR.

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (operator*): fixed typo in "ACE_Map_Entry".

        * ace/OS.h: added ACE_NSIG.  In addition, I removed this:

            // Why is this defined?  It must be a std C library symbol.
            #if !defined (NSIG)
            #define NSIG 0
            #endif /* NSIG */

          We #define NSIG elsewhere on platforms (VxWorks, MVS) that need it.
          #defining it to be 0 isn't good; it's better to catch the lack of
          NSIG at compile time than at run time.

        * ace/{Log_Msg.cpp,OS.i,Select_Reactor.cpp,Signal.*,WFMO_Reactor.i},
          tests/Sigset_Ops_Test.cpp: replace NSIG with ACE_NSIG.

        * ace/Basic_Types.{h,i}: only use u_longlong_t on sun.  Added
          operator++ to ACE_U_LongLong, and tweaked calculation in operator/.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp (test_ace_u_longlong_): added test of
          operator+, and one simple test of operator/.

        * ace/Filecache.h: removed extra , in enum ACE_Filecache_Flag definition.

Tue Dec 30 20:32:03 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.{h,cpp}: Added STL-styled iterator function.
          Changed the references to ACE_Map_Manager within interator
          classes to pointers so we can check errors.

Tue Dec 30 14:56:18 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Obstack: Enhanced ACE_Obstack so that it can be given a
          pointer to an allocator strategy.  This allows users to take
          complete control of where the memory comes from for the Obstack.

        * ace/Obstack: Changed the default value of "size" so that it is
          (4096 - sizeof (ACE_Obstack)).

        * ace/Obstack: Added a new ACE_Obchunk constructor to simplify
          some of the code.

Mon Dec 29 20:21:32 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: Adjusted dependencies on building
          a shared library to be on the object modules it will link in, not
          necessarily $(VSJOBJ).

Mon Dec 29 18:53:35 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Filecache.h: Added an enum type, ACE_Filecache_Flag, which
          gets passed into the ACE_Filecache_Handle constuctor to help
          determine whether or not to use memory mapping (on Windows NT,
          we sometimes do not want to memory map).

        * ace/Filecache.cpp: Required modifications to accomodate the
          ACE_Filecache_Flag parameter.

Mon Dec 29 15:37:24 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (event_timedwait): Added codes to guard against
          negative wait time since we are passing an absolute time value
          here, we may way past the target time when it gets called.
          Thanks to Norbert Rapp <NRapp@nexus-informatics.de> for pointing
          this.

Mon Dec 29 13:57:43 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp:
          Fixed syntax error, apparently some kind of typo.

        * ace/OS.h:
          The ACE_*_cast() macros had (IMHO) surprizing priority, added
          some parenthesis to make them behave as the new cast operators
          are supposed to do.

Mon Dec 29 08:59:28 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: Linux w/o glibc 2.0 doesn't have u_longlong_t,
          so use "unsigned long long" for it.

        * ace/Task.cpp (activate): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (thread_handles) on
          non-threaded platforms.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (wait): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG
          (abandon_detached_threads) on non-threaded platforms.

        * performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp (prof_ace_os_thread):
          added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (iteration) on non-threaded platforms.

        * performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp (main): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG
          for argc and argv on non-threaded platforms.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU: enabled compiler warnings
          by replacing -w with -Wall -Wpointer-arith in CFLAGS.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (count_interface,get_handle,get_ip_interfaces): use
          same code for LynxOS as for __unix.

        * ace/OS.h: on LynxOS, redefine NSIG to be one greater than the
          highest-numbered signal.  LynxOS' signal.h #defines it to be
          equal to the highest-numbered signal, 64.

Mon Dec 29 08:35:17 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Removed the PRELIB
          and PRELIB_USES_OBJ_ONLY stuff; merged in macros for building
          on HP-UX 11.00.
        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux11_aCC.GNU - Removed this file.
          The 10.x and 11.x builds are now both controlled by
          platform_hpux_aCC.GNU.

Sun Dec 28 10:50:54 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.11, released Sun Dec 28 10:50:54 1997.

Sat Dec 27 18:03:52 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (dump): Sould test if we have a valid thr_desc
          before dumping the information of it.  Thanks to Luca Priorelli
          <lucapri@mbox.vol.it> for pointing this out.

Sat Dec 27 16:13:59 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/{OS.i,config-linux-common.h,README} (getrusage,{get,set}rlimit):
          added ACE_HAS_RUSAGE_WHO_ENUM and ACE_HAS_RLIMIT_RESOURCE_ENUM
          support.  glibc 2.0 for Linux uses enums for the first arguments
          to ::getrusage and ::{get,set}rlimit.

Fri Dec 26 18:04:06 1997    <nw1@JIG>

        * ace/Containers.h: Added iterator traits for following classes.
             ACE_Unbounded_Set
             ACE_Unbounded_Queue
             ACE_Unbounded_Stack
             ACE_Double_Linked_List
             ACE_Fixed_Set
             ACE_Bounded_Set
          Thanks to <???> for recommending this.

Fri Dec 26 12:03:05 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added support for DCE threads, and merged in
          config-osf1-4.0-g++.h.  Thanks to Frederic Andres
          <andres@rd.nacsis.ac.jp> for the DCE threads support #defines.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0-g++.h: removed.  All Digital Unix 4.0 configs
          are now supported by config-osf1-4.0.h.

        * ace/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added comment on how to use DCE threads
          instead of POSIX threads.

        * ace/OS.i (thr_{get,set}prio): don't apply the
          !defined(ACE_LACKS_SETSCHED) test if ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS.

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): added || ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS to
          #ifndef ACE_LACKS_SETSCHED, so that priority is set with DCETHREADS.

        * ace/OS.cpp (sched_params): moved paren so that DCETHREADS block
          will be executed even if ACE_LACKS_SETSCHED.

        * ace/Sched_Params.cpp ({next,previous)_priority): added
          ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS check before !defined(ACE_LACKS_SETSCHED).

        * ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): wrapped first arg to ACE_OSCALL in
          parens because it confused cxx.

        * examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Message_Queues/{,T}MQ_Server.cpp: renamed
          variable msgque because it conflicted with a symbol in the DEC cxx
          w/DCE threads headers.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: expanded discussion of gcc config.status file.
          Thanks to Hans Rohnert <rohnert@scr.siemens.com> for figuring
          out the role of the config.status file.

Fri Dec 26 06:44:25 1997    <nw1@JIG>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS::ace_flock_t): Added a new field "lockname_" to
          remember the lock filename.

        * ace/OS.i (flock_init,flock_destroy): We need to remember the
          name of the lock file when initializing the lock and unlink the
          file when destroying the lock.

Thu Dec 25 18:08:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp: Removed g++ warning about initialization
          order, enabled read/write masks for
          ACE_Event_Handler::CONNECT_MASK; fixed typo that checks a write
          mask, but sets a read mask; removed unused variable "zero."
          Thanks to Eric Newton for these fixes.

Thu Dec 25 17:17:16 1997    <nw1@JIG>

        * ace/config-win32.h: * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added macro
          definitions not to use C++-styled castings on Win32 by default
          so that we don't depend on the RTTI support.

Thu Dec 25 16:18:03 1997    <irfan@PACHANGA>

        * ace/SString.h (ACE_CString and ACE_WString): Added c_str() to
          make it similar to STL's string class.

Wed Dec 24 19:59:15 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (client): changed stream error message
          from "timeout" to "timed out", so that run_tests.check won't
          complain about it.

Wed Dec 24 18:37:49 1997    <nw1@JIG>

        * ace/Synch.i (get_thread_id,get_nesting_level): Added ACE_INLINE.

Wed Dec 24 18:31:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.10, released Wed Dec 24 18:31:31 1997.

Wed Dec 24 14:27:33 1997    <nw1@JIG>

        * ace/Synch.{h,i,cpp} (ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex): Changed
          ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex to inherit from ACE_Thread_Mutex on
          Win32 because ACE_Thread_Mutex is already recusive on Win32.

Wed Dec 24 08:14:32 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (instance): without threads, dynamically create
          the ACE_Log_Msg instance instead of using a static.  Now, without
          threads, the ACE library has no statics that require destruction
          (at least on Solaris/g++ and Linux).  And, all of the ACE tests
          Purify cleanly.

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): wrapped
          rethrow_w32_structural_exception () call with #ifdef ACE_WIN32.
          It was eliminated by the ACE_SEH_EXCEPT macro on non-WIN32
          platforms, but some compilers (cxx) warned about the
          unreachable code.  This call is only supported on WIN32 anyways.

        * ace/OS.h: LynxOS has ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_1003_DOT_1C, but not
          ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_SIGMASK.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: only test ACE_U_LongLong on Solaris,
          and other platforms with STHREADS.

Wed Dec 24 04:25:49 1997    <nw1@DINGO>

        * ace/OS.i (sema_init): Added checking for initial semaphore
          counts and set the semaphore to non-signaled state if the
          initial count is zero.  Changed the internal variable lock from
          a mutex to a thread_mutex (Critical Section.)

Tue Dec 23 21:06:14 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TLI_Stream.cpp (get_remote_addr): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG
          for the arg if ! ACE_HAS_SVR4_TLI.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-poll.cpp (main): declare
          local "i" outside the for loop because it is used after the loop.

Tue Dec 23 19:34:10 1997    <nw1@JIG>

        * ace/OS.i: Added comments for semaphore simulation.

Tue Dec 23 19:33:59 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.9, released Tue Dec 23 19:33:59 1997.

Tue Dec 23 19:05:32 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (server): Changed sleep(30) to
          sleep(5).  This seems more reasonable.  Thanks to
          James Johnson for this suggestion.

Tue Dec 23 16:43:14 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/README: Added descriptions for ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_1003_DOT_1C (this
          was in use previously but not documented), ACE_HAS_XTI (new; XTI is
          the POSIX superset of TLI - this implies ACE_HAS_TLI),
          ACE_NEW_THROWS_EXCEPTIONS (new; the compiler throws bad_alloc if
          a 'new' memory allocation fails).

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp - Workaround for an aC++ bug in the HP-UX 11
          version of the compiler.

        * ace/INET_Addr.cpp: Note the failing host name in the error message
          from ACE_INET_Addr::ACE_INET_Addr(u_short, const char []).

        * ace/OS.h: Changes made while porting to HP-UX 11:
            - If ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_1003_DOT_1C (POSIX.1C), it implies (by
              way of POSIX.1C) that these also be set:
                ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_SIGMASK
                ACE_HAS_2_PARAM_ASCTIME_R_AND_CTIME_R
              This is intended to make the process of configuring a new
              new platform easier.
            - If the new config macro ACE_NEW_THROWS_EXCEPTIONS is set, include
              the file <new>.  The "proper" thing to do is to include
              <stdexcept>; however, at least on HP-UX 11, this will cause
              other things to get brought in, like <memory>, which will
              screw up auto_ptr.  The day that all this standard library and
              STL stuff is finally straight, there will be dancing in the
              streets...
            - Support including the proper header file for XTI when it's
              supposed to use <xti.h> rather than <tiuser.h> (POSIX specifies
              XTI, a superset of TLI, to have <xti.h>)
            - If ACE_NEW_THROWS_EXCEPTIONS is set, the ACE_NEW and
              ACE_NEW_RETURN macros handle the exception.

        * ace/OS.i: Fixed check for failure in ACE_OS::sema_init.

        * ace/config-hpux11.h:
        * ace/config-hpux11-hpc++.h: New configs for HP-UX 11.00

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux11_aCC.GNU: Platform macros for
          HP-UX 11.  It is set up for 32-bit build with comments for how to
          do a 64-bit build.

        * examples/Makefile: Added Naming to the directory list to build.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-poll.cpp: Changed test from
          ACE_HAS_SVR4_POLL to ACE_HAS_POLL.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/C-inclient.cpp:
        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-unclient.cpp:
        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-unserver.cpp:
        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/FD-unserver.cpp: Fixed a char * being
          initialized by a string literal.

        * examples/Map_Manager/test_hash_map_manager.cpp: Added #include
          "ace/SString.h"

        * examples/Mem_Map/IO-tests/test_io.cpp: Fixed a char * being
          initialized by a string literal.  Fixed diagnostic statements.

        * examples/Naming/test_multiple_contexts.cpp:
        * examples/Naming/test_non_existent.cpp:
        * examples/Naming/test_writers.cpp:  Added Id line for CVS.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: Added #include "test_config.h"

Tue Dec 23 16:12:28 1997    <nw1@DINGO>

        * ace/OS.i: Must use ACE_OS::sema_wait instead of waiting on the
          singling event when using simulated semaphores.

Tue Dec 23 08:32:00 1997  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_g++.GNU
          Removed trailing spaces from CC and CXX macros
          (the trailing space behind CXX was giving the TAO_IDL
           make fits)

Tue Dec 23 07:26:28 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TLI.cpp (get_local_addr): return -1, instead of 0, and
          set errno (with ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN) if ! ACE_HAS_SVR4_TLI.
          ({set,get}_option): added ACE_UNUSED_ARfor all
          arguments if ! ACE_HAS_SVR4_TLI.

        * ace/TLI_Stream.cpp (get_remote_addr): return -1, instead of 0,
          and set errno (with ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN) if ! ACE_HAS_SVR4_TLI.
          Declare and set local "name" only if ACE_HAS_SVR4_TLI.

        * ace/TLI_Acceptor.cpp (handle_asynch_event): initialize local
          "event" instead of defining it in the switch condition, to
          avoid compiler warning about not using it.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/db-server.cpp (lookup_name): removed
          unused local variable "len".

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: removed some warning
          suppressions that are no longer needed.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (~ACE_Log_Msg): clean up the message queue and
          allocated strings on non-threaded platforms.

        * tests/test_config.h (ACE_APPEND_LOG): added a close () of the
          ace_file_stream before opening it.  Forked children inherit the
          opened file stream, and fail on their attempt to open it if it
          is not explicitly closed.

Mon Dec 22 22:42:57 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS: Added a few minor changes to Nanbor's Semaphore
          emulation for WinCE.

Mon Dec 22 11:39:19 1997    <irfan@PACHANGA>

        * OS.i (event_timedwait): Added code to handle timeouts.  Thanks
          to Luca Priorelli <lucapri@mbox.vol.it> for reporting this.

Mon Dec 22 07:03:13 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/IOStream_Test.cpp (spawn): changed printout from
          "Process_Mutex_Test-children" to "IOStream_Test-children".

Mon Dec 22 03:08:22 1997    <nw1@DINGO>

        * ace/OS.i: Modified ACE_OS::cond_* for WinCE.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h:  Prevent ACE from using NT specific
          API on Win CE.

Sun Dec 21 16:19:40 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i} (ACE_OS::sema_*): Added semaphore simulation code
          for WinCE.  This code is currently protected
          ACE_USES_WINCE_SEMA_SIMULATION for debugging the code on NT.
          This flag should soon be obsolete and changed to ACE_HAS_WINCE.

          Moved ACE_event_t macro definition for Win32 before ACE_sema_t
          definition for NT.  I need to use it in semaphore simulation.

        * ace/OS.h (class ACE_Cleanup_Info::operator ==, !=): Removed
          keyword struct.  ACE_Cleanup_Info is a class now.

        * ace/Containers.h (class ACE_Double_Linked_List): Removed
          unused function declarations.

        * ace/Containers.h (class ACE_DNode): Removed ACE_DNode class.

Sun Dec 21 18:47:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.8, released Sun Dec 21 18:47:09 1997.

Sun Dec 21 12:39:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Made the netdb_{acquire()/release()} methods
          public to help ACE users stuck on weird OS platforms.  Thanks to
          Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for this suggestion.

        * ace: Changed all ACE class documentation so that it puts the
          =TITLE and =DESCRIPTION comments *after* the opening '{' rather
          than before.  I did this since (1) it makes emacs C++ mode
          happier and (2) it makes Rational Rose reverse-engineering tool
          happier too.  Thanks to Thomas Jordan
          <Thomas_Jordan@deluxedata.com> for suggesting this.

        * ace/LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor.h: The accept() method of class
          ACE_LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor is no longer a virtual.  I don't know why
          this was made virtual in the first place, but it was a mistake.

Sun Dec 21 15:24:42 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (class ACE_Cleanup_Info::operator ==, !=): Removed
          keyword struct.  ACE_Cleanup_Info is a class now.

        * ace/Containers.h (class ACE_Double_Linked_List): Removed
          unused function declarations.

        * ace/Containers.h (class ACE_DNode): Removed ACE_DNode class.

Sat Dec 20 11:05:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/test_config.h (ACE_INIT_LOG): Added (%P|%t) to an
          ACE_DEBUG statement to make it consistent.

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (spawn): Revised the test so that it
          prints data correctly to the child processes.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_multiple_mallocs.cpp (main): Moved
          the final print statement inside one of the if blocks so that it
          appears only every second invocation to remind people to rerun
          the program to remove the leaks.  Thanks to Tom Arbuckle
          <arbuckle@uran.informatik.uni-bonn.de> for suggesting this.

        * ace/Malloc*: Changed ACE_MALLOC_STATS to ACE_HAS_MALLOC_STATS
          since this is more consistent with ACE conventions.  Also,
          added ACE_HAS_MALLOC_STATS to the ace/README file.  Thanks
          to Tom Arbuckle <arbuckle@uran.informatik.uni-bonn.de> for
          suggesting this.

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool): Fixed the logic
          for naming the backing store if the sscanf() call fails.  Thanks
          to Tom Arbuckle <arbuckle@uran.informatik.uni-bonn.de> for
          suggesting this.

Sat Dec 20 15:39:00 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (spawn): Changed ACE_LACKS_EXEC to
          ACE_LACKS_FORK.

Sat Dec 20 09:42:06 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: changed ACE_SEH_FINALLY to be if (1) on Unix, not
         just pSOS.

Fri Dec 19 23:20:42 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (client): Removed an extra read.

        * ace/OS.h: ACE_SEH_FINALLY should always be executed on UNIX
          platforms.

Fri Dec 19 18:49:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/IOStream_T.i: Enhanced ACE_IOStream and its companions as
          follows:

          - ACE_Streambuf_T<> now distinguishes recv() timeout failure from
            a "real" stream failure

          - ACE_IOStream::eof() honors the streambuf's recv_timeout() value
            and returns FALSE if the eof() check fails on timeout.

          - IOStream_Test.cpp tests the streambuf timeout via the stream eof()
            and retrys if possible.

          Thanks to James Johnson <jcej@lads.com> for these fixes.

        * ace/Log_Record.i: Removed a no-op assignment to Time_Value
          in the encode() method.    Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney
          <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Log_Record.i: The time stamp put into the ACE_Log_Record
          gets all messed up when the ACE_Log_Record is transmitted to the
          Server_Logging_Handler and the client is run on a little-endian
          architecture.  This is because the ACE_Log_Record::encode method
          does:

          this->time_stamp_ = ACE_Time_Value

          htonl (this->time_stamp_.sec ()),
          htonl (this->time_stamp_.usec ()));

          When the ACE_Time_Value is passed in the resulting values from
          "htonl", it calls "normalize" which totally messes with the
          values passed.  Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney
          <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i: Fixed ctime_r() so that it doesn't crash if a NULL is
          returned from ctime_r().  Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney
          <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting this.

Fri Dec 19 09:44:28 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i}: fixed sigwait for DEC cxx, yet again for cxx
          V6.0-010.  cxx #defines sigwait, and was getting confused
          with ACE_OS::sigwait.  I replaced Thilo's #undef sigwait,
          and updated the ::sigwait declaration to what cxx uses internally.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver.cpp (server): cast arg
          to long before casting to ACE_HANDLE, and removed function-style
          cast.

Fri Dec 19 00:39:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.7, released Fri Dec 19 00:39:40 1997.

Thu Dec 18 19:47:47 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP: Stripped the CPP-in{server,client}.cpp
          tests down to their bare essence to only test the core features
          of sockets.  Thanks to Bryan and Brian for suggesting this.

        * ace/Message_Queue.cpp (ACE_Message_Queue_Iterator): Changed
          queue to q to avoid clashes with STL.  Thanks to Brian Mendel
          <bmendel@mdc.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.h: The server logging daemon is implemented using TCP/IP
          under Win32.  Therefore, we can simplify the creation of the
          ACE_DEFAULT_LOGGER_KEY.  Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney
          <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting this problem.

Thu Dec 18 22:35:45 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: fixed typo in end-of-comment marker.

        * ace/OS.h: on Digital Unix 4.0, only declare sigwait () with cxx,
          not with g++.  Thanks to Erik Margraf <erik@asgard.gud.siemens.co.at>
          for verifying this.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-in{client,server}.cpp: tweaked
          so that they build on VxWorks (spawn needs the (ACE_THR_FUNC)
          cast), and without threads.

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks: updated VxWorks test status.

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: look for ULONGLONG_MAX, which Irix 6.x uses.
          And, hard-code ACE_SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE to be 16 on __sgi, because
          its float.h doesn't always allow us to distinguish them.
          Thanks to Carlos for reporting these.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp,Profile_Timer.cpp: removed dependence
          on ACE_U_LongLong.  Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: fixed #ifdefs so that ACE_ULongLong
          isn't tested on Irix 6.x, etc.  Thanks to Carlos for tripping
          over this.

        * ace/IOStream_T.i (eof): made the return type, int, explicit.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: started adding support for threads on
          alpha (glibc).

Thu Dec 18 21:17:46 1997    <nw1@DINGO>

        * ace/ace_dll.dsp: Added project files for Windows CE on SH3
          series CPU and x86 emulator.

        * ace/streams.h:
        * ace/OS.h: Added Windows CE flags.

        * ace/OS.cpp (invoke): Added a dummy return to shut gcc up.

        * ace/OS.cpp (invoke): Added a dummy return to shut gcc up.

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp} (rethrow_w32_structural_exception): Added this
          function, which prints out an error message to indicate the
          occurance of structural exception and rethrow it again.
          (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): Rearranged try and except block
          for Win32 and added a finally block so when a structural
          exception occurs, a thread can clean it up properly, print out
          an error message, and rethrow the exception again.

Thu Dec 18 15:40:50 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Filecache.{cpp,h}:
          - debugged writing a file.
          - can select if mapping is desired.

        * ace/OS.h: Added new #defines to facilitate forward declarations
          of ACE_Export classes.

Thu Dec 18 00:15:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.6, released Thu Dec 18 00:15:02 1997.

Wed Dec 17 19:42:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP: Enhanced the
          CPP-{inserver,inclient}.cpp tests so that they will spawn
          multiple client and server threads to perform the data transfer.
          Thanks to Brian Mendel and Bryan Doerr for suggesting this.

        * ace/OS.i: Fixed some very subtle bugs with cond_signal() and
          cond_broadcast().  Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney
          <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting these and sending the fixes.

Wed Dec 17 19:27:06 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html (HREF): Added an advise not to use VC5.0 SP3.

        * examples/OS/Process/Makefile: Removed inclusion of
          rules.lib.GNU. Thanks to Avi Nash <anash@RedBrick.Com> for
          noticing this.

Tue Dec 16 22:09:42 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: restored #include test_config.h,
          and changed #include ace/config.h to ace/inc_user_config.h.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/ftp-server.cpp,
          examples/Reactor/Misc/test_timer_queue.cpp,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_Timeout.i,
          examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp,
          examples/Threads/thread_specific.cpp: replaced ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS
          preprocessor logic with a cast through a long to an int.
          A void * is the same size as a long on all currently supported
          ACE platforms.  The int cast is also there, to avoid compiler
          warnings about narrowing.  As a side effect, the function-style
          casts were removed.

        * ace/config-osf1*.h,README: added comment stating that
          ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS is deprecated.

        * ace/config-tandem.h: removed commented-out line that mentioned
          ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS.

        * ace/OS.{h,i} (sigwait): removed DEC cxx version dependence.  The
          standard two-arg POSIX ::sigwait () seems to work just fine even
          on older releases of Digital Unix 4.0, with the sigwait declaration
          that we have in OS.h.  Thanks to Erik Margraf
          <erik@asgard.gud.siemens.co.at> and Thilo
          <kielmann@informatik.uni-siegen.de> for helping to sort this out.

          I did change the ACE_OS::sigwait () return value determination
          in OS.i.  It now depends on whether or not POSIX ::sigwait ()
          returns 0, to agree with the documenation for POSIX sigwait.
          Before, the code checked for a -1 return value from ::sigwait ().

Tue Dec 16 21:00:49 1997  Chris Gill  <cdgill@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        Single Threaded port of ACE to pSOSim - first checkin

        * psosim/Makefile: (new) make file for new psosim directory -
          builds the configured simulator components

        * psosim/drv_conf.c: (new) board driver configuration code for
          simulator

        * ace/sys_conf.h: (new) configuration settings for simulator, ACE

        * ace/config-psosim-g++.h: (new) config file for psosim w/ g++

        * ace/OS.cpp:
        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i: Added psos and psosim specific code

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Removed function style casts which were killing
          g++

        * ace/Message_Block.cpp: Removed function style casts which were
          killing g++

        * ace/Containers.cpp: Removed function style casts which were
          killing g++

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp: Removed function style casts which were
          killing g++

        * tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp: Added PSOS #defines, alongside those
          for VXWORKS

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: Added PSOS #defines, alongside
          those for VXWORKS

        * tests/Priority_Reactor_Test.cpp: Added PSOS #defines, alongside
          those for VXWORKS

        * tests/MM_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: Added PSOS #defines, alongside
          those for VXWORKS

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: Added PSOS #defines, alongside those for
          VXWORKS

        * tests/run_tests.psosim: (new) script to run only those tests
          that are relevant to pSOSim, in its current single threaded
          state

        * include/makeinclude/platform_psosim_g++.GNU (new) make macros
          for pSOSim using g++


Tue Dec 16 17:23:49 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: Removed inclusion of "ace/config.h".

        * ace/inc_user_config.h:  Added this file to prevent multiple
          inclusions of config.h file.  Replace `#include "ace/config.h"'
          with `#include "ace/inc_user_config.h"'.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp:
        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/Trace.cpp:
        * ace/streams.h:
        * ace/iosfwd.h:  Replace "config.h" with "inc_user_config.h".

Tue Dec 16 08:30:41 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/FILE_SAP/client.cpp (main): Fixed "lines" to
          "links."  Thanks to Istvan Buki <ibuki@fedex.com> for reporting
          this.

Tue Dec 16 14:15:48 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/OS.i (fstat): Fixed Dr. Schmidt's typo.

Tue Dec 16 09:17:53 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Singleton.cpp (cleanup): set instance pointer to 0 after
          deleting it.  Thanks to Luca Priorelli <lucapri@mbox.vol.it>
          for suggesting this.

        * ace/Basic_Types.{h,i}: (ACE_U_LongLong): use ACE_UIN32 instead
          of u_long for data members, to ensure that its sizeof is 8 bytes.

        * ace/OS.h: except on WIN32 and Solaris (ACE_HAS_HI_RES_TIMER),
          always typedef ACE_hrtime_t to ACE_UINT64.  This changes removes
          the dependence on ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS.

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Keys): replaced ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS
          dependence with ACE_SIZEOF_LONG == 8, and similarly for
          determination of 4-byte longs.

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp (worker): replaced ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS
          preprocessor logic with a cast of the void * argument to a long.
          A void * is the same size as a long on all currently supported
          ACE platforms.  The int cast is also there, to avoid compiler
          warnings about narrowing.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: replaced use of ! ACE_HAS_64BIT_LONGS
          with ACE_SIZEOF_LONG == 4.

Mon Dec 15 22:47:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.5, released Mon Dec 15 22:47:24 1997.

Mon Dec 15 20:17:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp: Fixed pread() and pwrite() so that they work
          correctly even if we don't support threads.  Thanks to Irfan for
          finding this.

        * ace/OS.i: Tried to fix the fstat() wrapper on Win32 so that
          it does the right think for HANDLES.  Thanks to Lori Anderson
          <lori@probita.com> for pointing this out.

Mon Dec 15 15:36:07 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (exit,wait): Changed these two functions
          more for Chorus.  Thanks again to Wei Chian
          <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for providing the patch.

Mon Dec 15 06:42:42 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (instance): on non-threaded platforms, only
          allocate a new ACE_Log_Msg_message_queue if the (static) pointer
          is 0.  Thanks to Stephen Coy <stevec@magna.com.au> for
          reporting this.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: updated header comments about
          autosensing the platform capabilities.

        * tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp: (parse_args): added DEBUG
          message if an unsupported concurreny strategy is provided with
          a -c option.

Mon Dec 15 01:12:33 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Synch_T.h (ACE_Atmoic_Op::value_i): Explicitly return
          <value_> (by reference).  This gives the user full, unrestricted
          access to the underlying value.  This method will usually be
          used in conjunction with explicit access to the lock.  Use with
          care ;-)

Sun Dec 14 21:37:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (cond_wait,cond_timedwait): Fixed a missing return to
          handle the case where we're using USYNC_PROCESS for the external
          mutexes.

        * ace/OS: Made the use of the waiters_lock_ mutex consistent in
          the ACE_cond_t implementation.  This was broken since we used
          the external_mutex to serialize access to the waiters_ count
          inconsistently.  Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney
          <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting this very subtle bug.

Sun Dec 14 12:29:26 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (exit,wait): Disabled thread join
          functionality in Chorus.  Thanks to Wei Chiang
          <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for providing the fix.

Fri Dec 12 21:48:38 1997  Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.com>

        * ace/config-linux*.h: All Linux platform files except the
          Linux-KCC modified to use the upgraded common Linux
          configuration file. Linux-KCC looks reasonably easy to do,
          if no-one that actually have KCC takes care of it I can do
          this one later.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: Modernized and updated the common
          Linux configuration file to handle more of the common
          configuration stuff. Also added the beginning of proper
          glibc and egcs support for Linux.

Sat Dec 13 14:22:28 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: Changed _M_IX386 to _M_IX86.

Fri Dec 12 19:41:42 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace, tests, version_tests: Updated Win32 makefiles (VC4.2 and
          VC5.0) to include new Basic_Types_Tests.

        * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp (main): Updated to use
          ACE_OS::getpagesize().

        * ace/ACE.cpp (round_to_pagesize): Updated to use
          ACE_OS::getpagesize().

        * ace/OS.i (getpagesize): Added this to ACE_OS.

Fri Dec 12 07:49:01 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (inet_addr): changed type of "valid" from bool to u_int.
          This code is only seen on VxWorks.

        * ace/IOStream.h (ACE_Quoted_String::operator <): changed return
          type from bool to int.

        * ace/config-vxworks*.h,README: removed ACE_LACKS_SOCKET_BUFSIZ;
          added ACE_DEFAULT_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZ of 32768.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/C-in{client,server}.cpp: added
          support to optionally set socket buffer sizes.

        * examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Semaphores/Semaphores_2.cpp:
          removed unused constant SHMSZ.

        * examples/Timer_Queue/Reactor_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: removed
          unused constant NO_OF_IO_HANDLERS.

        * ace/IOStream_T.h (ipfx,ipfx1): don't call setstate () on WIN32,
          because MS VC++ 5.0 doesn't declare it.  Thanks to Irfan for
          reporting this.  This "fix" is temporary, maybe, until we
          figure out the proper fix.

        * ace/OS.h: cast the 1 in ACE_MSB_MASK to an fd_mask, to support
          64-bit fd_masks.  I suspect that with this change, the
          ACE_HAS_BROKEN_BITSHIFT used in config-tandem.h is no longer
          necessary.

        Added Basic_Types:
        * ace/Basic_Types.*,Makefile: Basic_Types defines the
          following preprocessor macros:

          Sizes of built-in types:
            ACE_SIZEOF_CHAR
            ACE_SIZEOF_WCHAR
            ACE_SIZEOF_SHORT
            ACE_SIZEOF_INT
            ACE_SIZEOF_LONG
            ACE_SIZEOF_LONG_LONG
            ACE_SIZEOF_VOID_P
            ACE_SIZEOF_FLOAT
            ACE_SIZEOF_DOUBLE
            ACE_SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE

          Wrappers for built-in types of specific sizes:
            ACE_INT16
            ACE_UINT16
            ACE_INT32
            ACE_UINT32
            ACE_UINT64
          (Note: ACE_INT64 is not defined, because there is no ACE_LongLong for
           platforms that don't have a native 8-byte integer type.)

          Byte-order (endian-ness) determination:
            ACE_BYTE_ORDER, to either ACE_BIG_ENDIAN or ACE_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            ACE_BIG_ENDIAN or ACE_LITTLE_ENDIAN

        * ace/OS.*: moved ACE_U_LongLong to Basic_Types.*.

        * ace/OS.h: added #include <float.h>.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h,README: added ACE_HAS_BYTESEX_H.

        * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp,run_tests.{bat,sh,vxworks),Makefile:
          added new Basic_Types_Test.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: removed ACE Version printout because
          it is now in Basic_Types_Test.

Fri Dec 12 03:00:21 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5-egcs-1.0.h: Fundamemntally identical to g++
          version, except added ACE_HAS_STDCPP_STL_INCLUDES, which is
          taken to mean that the Standard C++ STL include files are
          supported.

        * IOStream.h: Added #if's to handle the case where
          ACE_HAS_STRING_CLASS, but if ACE_HAS_STDCPP_STL_INCLUDES, then
          the string class is found in <string>.  Otherwise, it looks for
          it in <String.h>.

        * ace/OS.i: Re-implemented strcasecmp methods.  Thought bad
          implementations were related to a JAWS bug, but the hand
          implementations are not used on Solaris.

Thu Dec 11 23:20:57 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (activate_svc_handler): Changed the
          parameter that was been passed into the open routine of
          Svc_Handler.  The <arg> that was passed to us is passed through
          to open, rather than passing <this>.  Thanks to Mats Nilsson
          <mats.nilsson@xware.se> for pointing this out.

        * ace/Connector.cpp (activate_svc_handler): Made sure that we pass
          the connector pointer as the void* parameter to the svc_handler.

Thu Dec 11 23:35:04 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i. The code was always calling dlsum for the _init()
          hook, even if dlopen() failed.  In addition to fixing this, I
          also removed a potential handle leak. Thanks to Patrick
          J. McNerthney <pat@thememedia.com> for reporting this.

Thu Dec 11 13:13:17 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/LSOCK.cpp (recv_handle): fixed to remove compile errors and
          warnings on platforms with both ACE_HAS_4_4BSD_SENDMSG_RECVMSG
          and ACE_HAS_THREADS.  The delta from version 4.3 of this file
          is very small.  Thanks to Kirill Rybaltchenko
          <Kirill.Rybaltchenko@cern.ch> for reporting this problem and
          verifying the fix on LynxOS, the only affected platform.

        * ace/config-linux-kcc.h,include/makeinclude/platform_linux_kcc.GNU:
          added linuxthreads support with the linux KAI C++ config.
          Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for the patches.

        * ace/IOStream_T.h: iostream fx emulation now skips whitespaces and
          flushes when tied.  Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for the patch.

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (server): check for double-quote instead
          of newline as end-of-string character.  Thanks to Ben Eng
          <ben@jetpen.com> for the patch.

        * tests/SV_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: renamed "allocator" to
          "myallocator" to avoid conflict with STL.  Thanks to Ben Eng
          <ben@jetpen.com> for the patch.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_linux_lxpthread.GNU: protect
          PRELIB definition with ifndef PRELIB, to allow overriding
          without modifying the platform_macros.GNU file.  Thanks to
          James Johnson <jcej@lads.com> for this suggestion.

        * ace/IOStream_T.cpp: restored ACE_HAS_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION
          protection around the old g++ munch hack.  There's no need
          to trouble all (g++) platforms with its (4 byte) space penalty.

        * examples/IOStream/server/iostream_server.cpp (handle_input):
          removed unused local "addr".

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/{CODgram,Dgram}.cpp (run_test): added
          return 0 at end so that the function always returns a value.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added comment indicator
          to comment describing POSTLINK.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated DEC CXX 6.0 test status: all tests pass
          with the version of DIGITAL UNIX 4.0 and cxx 6.0 that we use.

Wed Dec 10 23:57:00 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.4, released Wed Dec 10 23:57:00 1997.

Wed Dec 10 16:24:09 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Auto_Ptr.i: Apparently, the standard states that in order to
          access members of a templated superclass from a templated
          subclass, then the member name must be fully qualified.
          Therefore, changed access to p_ to ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<X>::p_.
          Thanks to Stephen Coy <stevec@magna.com.au> for reporting this.

Tue Dec 09 13:05:00 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * ace/Containers.cpp (copy_all_nodes): Added a temporary
          ACE_Node<T> pointer to get around the macro side effects.

Sun Dec  7 10:20:46 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (parse_args): Added an appropriate macro
          to switch from char * to UNICODE.  Thanks to Timothy A. Brown
          <tabrown@montana.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/config-linux-*.h: Added ACE_HAS_GETRUSAGE_PROTO to all
          the linux config files.  Hopefully, this will help ACE to work
          better with glibc.  Thanks to Ernie Makris <emakris@ziplink.net>
          and Torbjorn Lindgren <tl@funcom.no> for their help.

Sat Dec 06 13:30:11 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.3, released Sat Dec 06 13:30:11 1997.

Sat Dec  6 12:02:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IOStream: Revised both the client and server to
          demonstrate the ACE_IOStream functionality correctly.  Also
          added a README file explaining how to run the examples.  Thanks
          to James Johnson and Dustin Laurence
          <laurence@alice.wonderland.caltech.edu> for suggesting this.

        * ace/IOStream_T: Added a new method eof() to the ACE_IOStream_T<>
          class.  This returns 1 if we've reached the end of the socket
          stream, else 0.

Fri Dec  5 16:58:29 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Addr.h: Added a const ACE_Addr & instead of const ACE_Addr.
          This will avoid an extra copy.  Thanks to Irfan for noticing
          this.

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/CODgram.cpp: Also updated the CODgram
          test to be just like the Dgram test.

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/Dgram.cpp (main): Fixed a bug where it
          was sending a huge buffer instead of just the string size.
          Also, exit once we've finished the send.  Finally, revised the
          test so that it is easier to understand and so that it exits
          properly.  Thanks to Michael Hoffman
          <Hoffman_Michael@mac-mailserver.atc.ll.mit.edu> for reporting
          this.

Fri Dec 05 13:20:09 1997    David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: added OFLAGS.
          Thanks to Brian Mendel for suggesting these.

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp: updated to work with the standard C++
          library version of iostreams.  That primarily involved not
          using operator>>(char& c) and operator>>(char* c) for C strings.
          Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for the patch.

        * ace/OS.{h,i},config-osf1-4.0.h: fixed sigwait on DEC CXX 6.0/
          recent DEC UNIX 4.0.  The fix keys off the compiler version,
          though it probably should depend on the OS.  It adds a
          sigwait declaration, which is a current signal.h deficiency.
          With this change, ACE builds and tests cleanly on DEC UNIX.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x-g++.h: restored comment that explains
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

        * netsvcs/lib/Makefile: the first line of the Local Target
          (Server_Logging_Handler.*) override mysteriously disappeared, again.

Fri Dec  5 12:15:49 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: Made error messages on open failure more
          verbose.  Having these in place straightaway would have helped
          track down some problems at Boeing much more effectively.

Fri Dec  5 11:15:17 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.h (callers.): Added documentation for %I and %D
          flags.  Thanks to John Morey <jmorey@tbi.com> for reosting
          this.

        * ace/Dynamic.h:
        * ace/CORBA_Ref.h:
        * ace/Token_Invariants.h:
        * ace/Token_Collection.h:
        * ace/Local_Tokens.h:
        * ace/Remote_Name_Space.h:
        * ace/Registry_Name_Space.h:
        * ace/Strategies.h:
        * ace/Name_Space.h:
        * ace/Name_Request_Reply.h:
        * ace/Naming_Context.h:
        * ace/Name_Proxy.h:
        * ace/Local_Name_Space.h:
        * ace/Local_Name_Space_T.h: Corrected erroneous comments.  These
          files all contain incorrect filename info in the preambles which
          make erroneous auto-generated man pages.

Fri Dec 05 00:00:53 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/OS.h: If the user wants minimum IOStream inclusion, i.e.,
          they have defined ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION, we will
          just include the forward declarations, i.e., ace/iosfwd.h.  Else
          they will get all the stream header files, i.e., ace/streams.h.
          The positive thing about this change is that if your code was
          using stream classes and you were depending on OS.h to provide
          you the stream header files, you will not have to change your
          code, unless you have defined
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.  Thanks to Dr. Schmidt for
          suggesting this and thanks to David Levine for suggesting it to
          Dr. Schmidt ;-).

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x-g++.h: Restored
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp (open): Fixed typo.

Thu Dec 04 21:20:47 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.2, released Thu Dec 04 21:20:47 1997.

Thu Dec  4 19:45:04 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer): Fixed a
          bug in the
          ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer::~ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer
          thread comparison routine.  Thanks to Steven Coy for this.  Also
          renamed _saved_main_thread_id to saved_main_thread_id_, which is
          proper ACE style.

        * Updated the ACE-INSTALL.html file to explain why you don't need
          to build everything all the time.  Thanks to Dustin Laurence
          <laurence@alice.wonderland.caltech.edu> for suggesting this.

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (fail_no_listener_nonblocking):
          Added a check for ENETUNREACH.  Thanks to Dustin Laurence
          <laurence@alice.wonderland.caltech.edu> for reporting this.

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp (open): Changed the local variable named
          sap_any to sa to avoid conflicts with the new sap_any macro.

        * ace/Asynch_IO: Made the ACE_Service_Hanlder::open() method
          non-virtual to work around bugs with Borland C++.  Thanks to
          Valik Solorzano Barboza <valik@geodan.nl> for suggesting this.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (COMPUTE): Put parens around elements the COMPUTE
          macros so that it will work on Borland C++.  Thanks to Valik
          Solorzano Barboza <valik@geodan.nl> for suggesting this.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_SAP_ANY to deal
          with Borland C++ bugs.  Thanks to Valik Solorzano Barboza
          <valik@geodan.nl> for suggesting this.

        * ace/Addr: Added a workaround for the Borland C++ problems.  This
          introduces a new global macro called sap_any.  However, this is
          only used for Borland, so it should be ok.  Thanks to Valik
          Solorzano Barboza <valik@geodan.nl> for suggesting this.

        * ace/LSOCK.cpp (recv_handle): Make the code smarter if we've got
          both STREAMS and 4_4BSD_SENDMSG_RECVMSG.

        * Reran "make depend" over all of ACE.

        * netsvcs/clients/Logger/indirect_logging.cpp (main): Changed
          LOGGING to LOGGER.  Thanks to Irfan for noticing this.

        * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler: Changed "rendezvous" to
          "logger."

        * netsvcs/clients/Logger/indirect_logging.cpp,
          netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler: Changed DEFAULT_RENDEZVOUS
          to DEFAULT_LOGGER_KEY.  Thanks to Steven Coy for pointing out
          this inconsistency.

        * ace/OS.h: Renamed ACE_LOGGER_KEY to ACE_DEFAULT_LOGGER_KEY to
          make it consistent with other ACE_DEFAULT_* names.

        * ace/OS.h: Changed the definition for ACE_LOGGER_KEY so that it
          defaults to "localhost:10015" on platforms that don't support
          ACE STREAM Pipes.  Thanks to Steven Coy for suggesting this.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: Added the -k option to parse_args() so
          that the user can set the logger key.  Thanks to Steven Coy for
          suggesting this.

        * ace/Service_Config: Added the logger_key as a parameter to the
          other open() method, as well.  Thanks to Steve Coy for being
          picky ;-).

        * netsvcs/clients/Logger/direct_logging.cpp (main): Modified the
          code to use the new framing scheme.

        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp
          (handle_logging_record): Updated the code to take advantage of
          our new framing scheme.

        * netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (send): We can be smarter
          now about sending the ACE_Log_Record across the network since
          the length field is now fixed and it's guaranteed to be in the
          first 4 bytes.  Thanks to Steve Coy for suggesting this.

        * ace/Log_Record.h (ACE_Log_Record): Replaced the horribly
          non-portable "long length_" field with the "ACE_INT32 length_"
          field, which is nice because it is portable across platforms
          with different long-word sizes.

Thu Dec 04 09:57:40 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.GNU: allow enabling of
          WARNING_FLAGS by setting CXX_VER to POST_5X.  Thanks to
          James Johnson for this suggestion.

        * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp: rebuilt with Doug's flex.

Thu Dec 04 03:46:04 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Makefile (Svc_Conf_l.cpp): Changed the sed macros to produce
          OS.h include instead of stdcpp.h.

        * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp: Updated after code was regenerated using the
          new sed changes in the Makefiles.  Currently there are two
          inclusions of OS.h in this file and an extra stdlib.h.  Maybe
          someone more experienced in sed can take these out by updating
          the Makefile.

        * ace/IOStream_T.h (stdcpp.h): Removed inclusion of stdcpp.h.  It
          is redundant because IOStream.h includes it.

        * ace/streams.h: New file.  This files tries to reduce the
          differences between the old and new stream libraries for the
          user.  This is done by automatically selecting the correct
          includes depending on the ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY variable.
          This file also helps out by making commonly used classes (e.g.,
          ios, ostream, iostream, cin, cout, etc) available in the global
          name space when used with the Standard C++ Library. Use this
          file where you would usually include <iostream.h> or <iostream>.

        * ace/iosfwd.h: New file. This files deals with forward
          declaration for the stream classes.  Remember that since the new
          Standard C++ Library uses templates for the implementation of
          the streams, simple forward declaration will not work.  Classes
          forward declared by this class include:

          ios
          streambuf
          istream
          ostream
          iostream
          filebuf
          ifstream
          ofstream
          fstream

          Use this file where you would usually forward declare the
          classes listed above.

        * ace/stdcpp.h: Removed this file from the repository.  This file
          was trying to do too much.  All the inclusion of the C Library
          headers were unnecessary.  This is because the new C++ standard
          preserves the old C library include files.  The functions from
          those files will still be in the global namescape.  The new
          header files (e.g., cstdio), provides the same prototypes as the
          old files (e.g., stdio.h), except that all prototypes are in the
          std namespace.  Since we want the old behavior and global
          prototypes (for backward compatibility), inclusion of the new
          header files was incorrect.

          stdcpp.h was included by OS.h.  This caused almost all files to
          force the inclusion of the stream header files.  This was
          changed so that OS.h only includes the ace/iosfwd.h file.  This
          means that if your code was using stream classes and you were
          depending on OS.h to provide you the stream header files, you
          will have to change your code to either include iostream.h or
          iostream, or more portably ace/streams.h.

        * ace/OS.h: Removed stdcpp.h. Moved the standard C library
          includes from stdcpp.h to OS.h.  Also added ace/iosfwd.h to give
          forward declaration for the stream classes.

        * ACE: Added explicit inclusion of ace/streams.h to the following
          files:

          ace/IOStream.cpp
          ace/Log_Record.cpp
          ace/OS.cpp
          ace/SString.cpp
          ace/Log_Msg.cpp
          tests/test_config.h
          examples/Log_Msg/test_log_msg.cpp
          examples/Reactor/Misc/test_time_value.cpp
          examples/Threads/task_three.cpp
          netsvcs/lib/Logging_Strategy.cpp
          examples/Logger/Acceptor-server/server_loggerd.cpp
          examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/event_server.cpp
          examples/Reactor/Ntalker/ntalker.cpp
          examples/Shared_Malloc/test_persistence.cpp
          examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Message_Queues/MQ_Server.cpp
          examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Message_Queues/MQ_Client.cpp
          examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Message_Queues/TMQ_Server.cpp
          examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Message_Queues/TMQ_Client.cpp

        * Updated makefile dependencies throughout ACE to reflect the
          removal of stdcpp.h and the addition of streams.h.

        * examples/Threads/barrier2.cpp: Removed inclusion of stdcpp.h.

        * ace/IOStream_T.cpp: Reorganized include files so that inclusion
          of config.h is not necessary.

        * ace/IOStream.cpp: Changed inclusion of config.h to OS.h.

        * ace: Removed config.h from the following files.  It was
          redundant.

          Timer_Hash.cpp
          Timer_Heap.cpp
          Timer_List.cpp
          Timer_Queue.cpp
          Timer_Wheel.cpp

        * ace: Added code to protect against multiple inclusions of
          config.h.  Following files were effected:

          Trace.cpp
          Log_Msg.cpp

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Removed redundant definitions of
          ACE_HAS_TYPENAME_KEYWORD and ACE_HAS_SIG_ATOMIC_T.  Thanks to
          Matthias Kerkhoff <make@cs.tu-berlin.de> for pointing this out.

Wed Dec  3 21:37:47 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added the new ACE-inheritance.ps and pdf files, which show the
          class structure of ACE.  Thanks to John Lindal
          <jafl@cheshire-cat.caltech.edu> for generating this.

        * ace/Service_Config: Removed the static logger_key_ member and
          replaced it with a (defaulted) parameter to open().  This is
          more flexible.  Thanks to Steve Coy for the suggestion.

        * ace/Service_Config.h: Addressed all the "@@" questions.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp (main): Fixed a
          subtle bug in the "quit" logic.  Thanks to Michael Hoffman
          <Hoffman_Michael@mac-mailserver.atc.ll.mit.edu> for reporting
          this.

        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (handle_logging_record),
          netsvcs/lib/Client_Logging_Handler.cpp (send):
          Changed the code so that we now always send ACE_UINT32 bytes
          worth of data for the length field.  This ensures we're portable
          across platforms.  Thanks to Steven Coy for noticing this.

Wed Dec 03 18:02:09 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Benchmark.cpp: Added template
          instantiations for Atomic_Op.

Wed Dec  3 10:29:58 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp:
          Use ACE_UINT32 to compute the 32-bit CRC, on Alphas (and
          probably other 64 bit machines) u_long seems to be longer than
          that.

Wed Dec 03 07:39:15 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux.GNU:
        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_gcc.GNU: Moved some compile options
          from the DCFLAGS to the CCFLAGS to compile correctly with or without
          debugging.

Wed Dec 03 06:26:14 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Future.cpp,
          tests/{Future_Test,Reactors_Test,Reader_Writer_Test.cpp,
          examples/Threads/manual_event.cpp:
          moved ACE_Atomic_Op<ACE_Thread_Mutex, int> instantiation from
          ace/Future.cpp to where it is used.

        * ace/OS.cpp (inet_aton): return 0 if addr argument is 0.  Thanks
          to Wei for reporting this.

        * ace/config-linux.common.h: set an ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR, on Alpha
          for now.  This might be necessary on Intel as well.

        * ace/OS.{h,i}, config-osf1-4.0.h: fixed use of ::sigwait with
          DIGITAL_UNIX's cxx 6.0, which now uses ACE_HAS_ONEARG_SIGWAIT.
          Also, added an ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR to the config file.

        * tests/{Priority_Reactor_Test,Reactor_Performance_Test}.cpp:
          instantiate ACE_Map_*, for use by ACE_Connector, with ACE_HANDLE
          instead of int.  That's the way it's declared in ace/Connector.h.

Wed Dec 03 00:17:50 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tests/test_config.h: Removed code for
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION, as this option is no longer
          necessary.

        * ace/stdcpp.h: Removed code for
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION, as this option is no longer
          necessary.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x-g++.h: Removed
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION.  This flag is no longer
          required.

        * ace/IOStream_T.cpp: Removed ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION
          from #if defined.

        * ACE: Removed the explicit iostream.h inclusion from these:

          examples/ASX/UPIPE_Event_Server/event_server.cpp
          examples/Log_Msg/test_log_msg.cpp
          examples/Logger/Acceptor-server/server_loggerd.cpp
          examples/Reactor/Misc/test_time_value.cpp
          examples/Shared_Malloc/test_persistence.cpp
          examples/Threads/task_three.cpp
          netsvcs/lib/Logging_Strategy.cpp

        * ace/IOStream.h: Darrell missed removing this explicit iostream.h
          inclusion.

        * ace/Future.cpp: Removed template instantiation of Atomic_Op
          since Atomic_Op is not used by Future.

Fri Dec 02 11:46:17 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * ace/Proactor.cpp (ACE_Proactor): Reenabled Proactor's thread
          manager to wait on its Timer_Handler thread.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (close_singleton): Removed Win32 specific
          codes.  This is no longer necessary with above changes.
          (wait): Close down thread handles when removing detached
          threads.  Avoid performing wait when the program is shutting
          down.
          (remove_thr_all):  Extracted out this protected member function.
          (close): Changed to use the new remove_thr_all function.

        * ace/Proactor.cpp (handle_events): Changed the magic number 258
          to WAIT_TIMEOUT.  Thanks to Mark Rabotnikov
          <mark@netmanage.co.il> for pointing this out.

Tue Dec 02 14:13:15 1997  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Moved some compile options
          from the DCFLAGS to the CCFLAGS to compile correctly with or without
          debugging.  Thanks to Istvan Buki <ibuki@fedex.com> for reporting
          the problem.

Tue Dec 02 06:16:39 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (~ACE_Object_Manager_Destroyer): don't
          delete the ACE_Object_Manager if not destroyed by the main
          thread.  That can cause problems, at least on WIN32.  And
          it should only happen under exceptional conditions, at least
          on WIN32.  Thanks to Ari Erev <ari_erev@icomverse.com> and
          John Neystadt <john_neystadt@icomverse.com> for suggesting this.

        * ace/IOStream.cpp (underflow,overflow): moved get_mode_ and
          put_mode_ accesses so that it now works on KAI C++.
          Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for the patch.

        * ace/config-linux-kcc.h: commented out ACE_TEMPLATES_REQUIRE_SOURCE.
          Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for this update.

        * ace/Profile_Timer.cpp (elapsed_time): changed
          ACE_ONE_SECOND_IN_USECS to ACE_ONE_SECOND_IN_NSECS.  Thanks
          to Wei for noticing this.

        * ace/OS.cpp (inet_aton): removed CHORUS specialization.
          Thanks to Wei for reporting this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus.GNU: added CHORUS = 1,
          for use by individual Makefiles.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_persistence.cpp: removed
          ACE_Malloc<ACE_MMAP_MEMORY_POOL, ACE_Null_Mutex>
          instantiation because it's in ace/System_Time.cpp.

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: removed ACE_HAS_UALARM, because LynxOS
          apparently doesn't.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added -Winline and
          removed -fno-strict-prototypes.

        * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (main): increased queue size from
          default of 16Kb to 32Kb, so that it runs on machines with 8Kb
          pagesizes.  And, added a check to see if the queue is full
          before enqueuing.

        * ace/OS.i, config-osf1-4.0.h: DECXX 6009006 has SIGWAIT.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated DEC_UNIX test status.  Message_Queue_Test
          and all of the Mutex_Tests now pass.  Conn_Test no longer does.

Tue Dec 02 00:18:04 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (handle_signal): If guess_on_fault_ is true,
          then we cannot call remap(0).  This will always put the address
          out of range.  Therefore, we will shoot in the dark (user has
          instructed us to do so as guess_on_fault_ is true) and try to
          remap the file.  If the user does not want this behavior, the
          guess_on_fault_ flag should be turned off.  Thanks to Jon
          Prettyman <jonp@als.ameritech.com> for pointing this out.

Mon Dec 01 16:13:06 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added back ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAM to
          the config file. The test is not compiling.

        * tests/run_tests.bat: Look for "Win32 structured exception" in
          the log files.

Mon Dec  1 14:01:02 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp, ace/Log_Msg.h, ace/Log_Record.cpp,
          ace/Log_Record.h ace/OS.h, ace/stdcpp.h, tests/test_config.h:

          Changed use of ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION in stdcpp.h
          to include iostream when the above is #defined.  Made
          changes to other files to accommodate this change.

Mon Dec 01 12:15:00 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h (ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAM): James CE
          Johnson claims that ACE_LACKS_ACE_IOSTREAM is no longer not
          necessary when using the ACE_HAS_STANDARD_CPP_LIBRARY.

        * ace/OS.h: Changed the definition of ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC so
          that it just evaporates on platform that have
          ACE_REQUIRES_FUNC_DEFINITIONS defined.

          ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC is only required for template classes and
          not for a normal class.  When the template is explicitly
          instantiated, it causes some compilers to look for the
          definition of all the declared methods.

          On platforms that have this behavior, we have decided to take
          out the declaration of this function.  This is necessary since
          an empty definition of {} usually does not work with some
          constructors.  And by providing a explicit definition of this
          function, will cause all platforms to suffer.

          Therefore, platforms with ACE_REQUIRES_FUNC_DEFINITIONS defined
          must be specially careful when using this.

Mon Dec 01 07:56:02 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: added
          -xildoff to LDFLAGS, to avoid occasional problems with
          the incremental linker.  Thanks to Hans Rohnert
          <Hans.Rohnert@mchp.siemens.de> for this suggestion.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU,
          etc/ace_ld, bin/ace_ld, ACE-INSTALL.html:
          moved ace_ld from etc/ to bin/.

        * Makefile: added etc/ to CLONE and RELEASE_FILES.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added -Wall to CFLAGS.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (set_handle_limit): only call setrlimit if
          RLIMIT_NOFILE is #defined.

        * ace/OS.h: removed ACE_HAS_STDARG_THR_DEST dependence for
          ACE_THR_DEST definition.

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_keycreate): with ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS only, cast
          dest argument to ::pthread_keycreate if ACE_HAS_STDARG_THR_DEST.

        * ace/OS.i (get{host,proto,serv}by{addr,name}_r): with
          ACE_HAS_NONCONST_GETBY only, added some ACE_UNUSED_ARGS.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/Malloc.cpp: removed
          ACE_Guard<ACE_Process_Mutex> instantiation because it's in
          ace/Synch.cpp.

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_THR_EXIT_SEMANTICS.
          Without it, the Thread_Manager went recursively ballistic.

        * performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp (main): fixed printout if
          ACE_OS::sched_params () call failed.

Sun Nov 30 22:44:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.4.1, released Sun Nov 30 22:44:50 1997.

Sun Nov 30 20:32:50 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_3.2.GNU: removed -ptr option
          from CCFLAGS, so the default template repository will be used.
          Thanks to Dani Flexer <danif@ivory-sw.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp,Makefile:
          1) #include ace/stdcpp.h instead of stdio.h so that anything
             that needs to be #included with/before stdio.h can be.
          2) Changed ECHO to ACE_SVC_CONF_ECHO to avoid compiler warning if
             ECHO was #defined to be a constant.

        * ace/Makefile: set ACELIB to null so that it can be used to build
          shared libs, including libACE.$(SOEXT).

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added $(ACELIB) to
          SOFLAGS to avoid shared lib build warnings about undefined ACE
          symbols.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h: declare ACE_THR_MEMBER_FUNC outside of
          ACE_Thread_Manager class with __GNUG__ instead of with
          VXWORKS || IRIX5.  The problem is with older versions of g++,
          not with the OS.

Sun Nov 30 14:13:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/servers/README: Clarified a bit more about how to
          configure the client and server logging processes.  Thanks to
          Neil Cohen for motivating this.

Sun Nov 30 17:36:35 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.cpp (ACE_File_Lock): Fixed order of parameters in the
        call to this->open() and too many arguments in call to
        ACE_File_Lock::open().

Sun Nov 30 16:31:41 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.h:
        * ace/Synch.cpp:
          ACE_File_Lock should create the file if it does not exist, to do
          so the constructor takes the <flags> parameter to ACE_OS::open()
          and defaults to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.

Sat Nov 29 21:31:07 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.cpp (~ACE_Proactor_Timer_Handler): Removed explicit
          call to thr_mgr_.close().
          (ACE_Proactor):  Be sure to ask Thread_Manager not to wait for
          the timer_handler_ thread.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (close_singleton):  Only reset
          exit_on_wait status if we are responsible for deleting the
          global thread manager.

Sat Nov 29 15:15:04 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/IPC_SAP.cpp:
          Removed warning for functions not returning a value on SGI, it
          seems that the flow changed and the last return was reached
          sometimes, hence the ACE_NOTREACHED macro is no longer needed.

Sat Nov 29 13:12:47 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch: Conditionally inlined all the ACE_Process_Mutex
          wrapper calls and moved them into the Synch.i file.  I'm not
          sure why there weren't here before.

        * ace/Synch: Reimplemented ACE_RW_Process_Mutex to use
          ACE_File_Lock, which provides the proper readers/writer
          semantics that had been lacking in the previous implementation.

Fri Nov 28 04:25:23 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Removed redundant trailing commas from
          ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,i,cpp}: Delete declaration of
          remove_thr_self.  It is no longer in use.
          (wait_on_exit): Added this function to let users specify whether
          they want their Thread_Manager wait for spawned threads on exit
          or not.
          (wait): On Win32, handles should be closed if we decide to let
          the thread go wild.
          (remove_thr): Added another parameter to control whether
          remove_thr should close the handle or not.  It is only used on
          Win32.
          (close):  Removed the <automatic_wait> parameter for it has been
          incoporated as a member.
          (close_singleton): Reset <automatic_wait_> on Win32. We'll never
          need to wait for unfinished threads on NT.
          (ACE_Thread_Manager): Added initialization of member
          <automatic_wait_>.  It is default to 1 (wait on exit.)

        * ace/Containers.h: Corrected erroneous comments.

Wed Nov 26 10:33:22 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * ace/Log_Msg (msg): Changed the parameters from char * to const
          char *.

        * ace: Added unimplemented copy constructors and assignment
          operators to the following classes:

          ACE_Map_Manager
          ACE_Message_Block
          ACE_Data_Block
          ACE_Log_Msg
          ACE_Message_Queue
          ACE_Task
          ACE_Task_Base

          Added ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC macros to these classes:

          ACE_Mem_Map
          ACE_Priority_Reactor
          ACE_Select_Reactor
          ACE_WFMO_Reactor
          ACE_XtReactor
          ACE_Reactor
          ACE_Read_Buffer
          ACE_CORBA_Handler
          ACE_TSS_TPQ_Entry
          ACE_Object_Manager
          ACE_File_Lock
          ACE_Semaphore
          ACE_RW_Mutex
          ACE_Mutex
          ACE_Null_Barrier
          ACE_Null_Condition
          ACE_Null_Mutex_Guard
          ACE_Event
          ACE_Thread_Mutex
          ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard
          ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex
          ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex
          ACE_Barrier
          ACE_Condition

          Thanks to Stanley D Leeson <STANLEY.D.LEESON@cdev.com> for these
          suggestions.

Sat Dec 20 14:57:30 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * All MSVC 5.0 project files: Removed unnecessary library
          inclusions.  Most of them are not necessary. Thanks to
          Patrick J. McNerthney <pat@thememedia.com> for suggesting
          this.

Wed Nov 26 15:49:14 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/IOStream_T.i (recv) affects WIN32 only: fixed typo,
          ACE_BIT_ENABLED instead of ACE_BIT_ENTABLED IOStream_T.i.
          Thanks to James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com> for reporting this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added information
          on necessary OS patches.

Wed Nov 26 09:45:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_PROPER_SINGLETON_INSTANTIATION): Corrected
          misspelling in the "! defined (MSC_VER)" branch.  I just happened
          to notice this, so I don't know if anybody ever tried it and it
          failed.

Tue Nov 25 12:07:07 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_3.2.GNU: updated for
          OSF/1 3.2g/CXX 5.7.  Thanks to Dani Flexer <danif@ivory-sw.com>
          for the updates.

Tue Nov 25 01:07:39 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_multiple_loops.cpp (main): Made
          sure that the Proactor was removed from reactor.

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (remove_handler_i,
          remove_suspended_handler_i): Make sure to preserve DONT_CALL
          with normal event entries.

        * ace/Proactor.cpp:

        - A flag used to indicate when we are shutting down.

        - Made sure to signal the timer event when we are closing down.

        - Thread Manager: don't bother to wait (since the thread may have
          already gone). But make sure to close up the descriptor.  This
          may not be necessary in the future when THR_DETACHED is
          correctly implemented.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h: Changed some code from protected to public.
          Even though these functions are really protected, sometimes it
          simplifies user code to be able to "fake" a result.  Users
          should use these with care.

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp
          (handle_write_stream): Added code for partial write to socket.
          However it ever seems to do a short write ;-). Also made sure
          that the initial data coming from the AcceptEx call is also
          dumped to the file.  Thanks to Mark Rabotnikov
          (mark@netmanage.co.il) for pointing this out.
