Fri Jun 12 16:31:13 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: (ACE_NTOHL, ACE_HTONL): Added macros for conversion
	between network and host byte order. Thanks to James Hu for
	contributing these.

Fri Jun 12 14:29:40 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.i (sema_wait): Changed the code so that it always treats
 	  the time value argument in absolute time, even for Win32.
  	  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

Fri Jun 12 14:12:25 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

	* include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
	  The inclusion of the XtReactor is controlled on the
	  platform_macros file (or the command line).
	  Users simply type make xt_reactor=1 to enable this feature, or
	  set xt_reactor to 1 in the platform_macros.GNU file.
	  Some extra macros were added for platforms that require special
	  CPP, LD or libraries when linking against X/Windows. The macros
	  are described in this file.
	  The platforms that already had XtReactor compiled by default
	  still do.

	* ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h:
	* include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x-sgic++.GNU:
	  Now the XtReactor configuration is controlled on the platform
	  file.

	* ACE-INSTALL.html:
	  Updated documentation for make flags.

	* tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp:
	  Fixed a few typos.

	* tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
	  Fixed some template instantiation pragmas.

Thu Jun 11 22:05:31 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Process_Mutex_Test.cpp (main): kill children on
          Solaris/i386 instead of waiting for them.  (acquire_release):
          added printout at top.  It never appears, at least on
          g++/Solaris/i386.

        * ace/Malloc.cpp (instance): wrap declaration of local "assertion"
          with ifndef ACE_NDEBUG, to avoid warning about unused variable
          with debug=0.

1998-06-11  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.h (ACE_Proactor): Put insert_aiocb_list () under
        ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS so that it doesnt break in NT.

Thu Jun 11 1998 Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added typedef's, #define's  and #include's under the
        definition ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS for the proactor porting.

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: Defined ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS for
        solaris2.6.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h:
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: Added aio call support for Asynch_Read_File. See
        the code under #if defined (ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS)

        * ace/Proactor.h:
        * ace/Proactor.cpp: Added support for AIO calls in Proactor. See
        the code under #if defined (ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS)

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor_with_aio.cpp: The test
        program for Proactor doing aio stuff.

Thu Jun 11 13:34:26 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp: Made change to uname to use a different structure
          if certain Borland compilers are being used.  Thanks to
          Valik Solorzano <valik@geodan.nl> for this fix.

Thu Jun 11 11:15:26 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp:
          The notify_handler_ open method requires an extra argument.

Wed Jun 10 14:31:55 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (ACE_Recyclable ctors): reordered
          initializers to match declaration order.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: fixed template instantiations:
          ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX instead of ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX.

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp (main): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGS for
          argc and argv without ACE_HAS_XT.

Wed Jun 10 12:34:25 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T: Added two new template classes: ACE_Recyclable
          and ACE_Hash_Recyclable. ACE_Recyclable adds a recyclable flag
          to the class it is instantiated with.  ACE_Hash_Recyclable
          inherits from ACE_Recyclable and forces the class it is
          instantiated with to have a hash() method.

          Also, the Hash_Addr was fixed so that it does not have the
          recyclable flag anymore, since the Hash_Addr can be used even
          when there is no recycling.

          Also updated the ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy to reflect these
          changes.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: Fixed the template instantiations in lieu
          of the changes to Hash_Addr.

Wed Jun 10 11:05:39 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: replaced ACE_wrappers-repository/ with
          ACE_wrappers/ in diffs.  Thanks to James Risinger <jrisinge@cgi.com>
          for reporting this.

Wed Jun 10 01:31:46 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Tokens_Test.cpp:
        Changed how the Borland template instantiations are protected.

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp:
        test_config.h must be included before asking for ACE_HAS_XT.
        Was missing the Borland non-sense.

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp:
        Protected the Borland template instantiations.

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp:
        Added the Borland non-sense.

        * tests/Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp:
        Added a couple of casts to avoid warnings.

        * tests/Priority_Buffer_Test.cpp:
        Got rid of a (seemingly) useless piece of code.

        * tests/Naming_Test.cpp:
        Modified a test so that it won't give warnings.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
        Was missing the Borland non-sense.
        Modified an #if-protected section to get rid of a warning.
        Added a few extra Borland template instantiations.

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp:
        * ace/SOCK_Dgram.cpp:
        Under Borland, a couple of comparisons were always true (with a
        warning) because of unsignedness.

        * ace/Malloc.cpp:
        Assigned the consition of an assertion to a temporary variable to
        avoid a misleading warning.

        * ace/Get_Opt.cpp:
        Added an explicit comparison against 0 to avoid a warning.

        * ace/ACED.cpp:
        * ace/ACER.cpp:
        These files had been commited with ^M at the end of lines.

        * ace/ACE.cpp:
        Changed a couple of run time checks for
        ACE_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR_CHAR into compile time tests; that got rid
        of a couple of warnings under BCB3 (Borland C++ Builder 3.0).

        * ace/ACE.cpp:
        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
        Used ACE_NOTREACHED to avoid further warnings.

        * ace/OS.h:
        Added Borland to the empty definition of ACE_NOTREACHED.
        The definition of ACE_SEH_FINALLY for the case of Borland C++
        Builder 3.0 now uses __finally. This allowed most of the tests
        that were hanging to complete ok. Thanks to David Tallman
        <tallman@acsys.com> for pointing this out.

Tue Jun  9 19:35:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor: Integrated the new XtReactor, which should now
          work for Windows NT!  Thanks to Kirill Rybaltchenko
          <Kirill.Rybaltchenko@cern.ch> for this.

        * tests: Added the new XtReactor_Test.cpp to test the features of
          the XtReactor.  Thanks to Kirill Rybaltchenko
          <Kirill.Rybaltchenko@cern.ch> for this test.

Tue Jun 09 16:18:54 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile: removed old release targets.  They're no longer
          used, or maintained.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_x86_g++.GNU: removed.
          Use platform_sunos5_g++.GNU instead, on both sparcs and x86.

Tue Jun 09 15:25:13 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.11 released.

Tue Jun  9 14:59:15 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp:  Made it so both Borland and Microsoft use the
          x.wProcessorArchitecture structure for system info.

Tue Jun 09 14:35:28 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Tokens_Test.cpp,UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp: only need the
          template instantiations with Borland C++.

        * bin/make_release: create version diffs, in background,
          when creating releases.

Tue Jun 09 12:50:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE_Library.mak: Added Stats.cpp.

Tue Jun 09 11:51:17 1998 Chris Gill  <cdgill@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MM_Shared_Memory_Test: added a null pointer check so
          test complains rather than crashing when shared allocator fails.

Mon Jun  8 21:03:23 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp (any_ready): Fixed a more unrighteous bug
          where we were assigning the values in the wait_set_ rather than
          the ready_set_.  Thanks to Stefan Ericsson
          <Stefan.Ericsson@osd.uab.ericsson.se> for reporting this bug.

Mon Jun  8 19:15:38 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc.h:
        * ace/Malloc_Base.h (ACE_Allocator): Moved the definition of
          abstract class ACE_Allocator from Malloc.h to a new file called
          Malloc_Base.h to resolve a circular dependency among a bunch of
          header files when compiling with UNICODE and inline enabled.

        * ace/SString.i: Changed to include "ace/Malloc_Base.h" to avoid
          circular inclusion.

Mon Jun 08 18:35:23 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added some updated HP-UX info (and a pointer to
          Riverace's HP-UX hints page) and removed the warning to not use
          MSVC 5.0 SP3 - per results from ace-users discussions last week,
          SP3 is getting used successfully.

Mon Jun 08 13:22:47 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: set ACE_SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE to 12 if
          LDBL_MAX_EXP is 16384 and LDBL_DIG is 18.  Thanks to
          Sree Oggu <dharani@sutmyn.com> for reporting this, on
          SolarisX86 with Sun C++.

        * ace/Malloc.cpp (instance): cleaned up comments.

Mon Jun  8 12:12:39 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp:
          Template instantiation was not using the ACE_SYNCH macros.

Mon Jun  8 02:17:54 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html:
        Added a comment regarding the new port to Borland C++ Builder.

        * ace/ACE.bpg:
        * ace/ACED.bpr:
        * ace/ACED.cpp:
        * ace/ACER.bpr:
        * ace/ACER.cpp:


        * ace/ACE.cpp:
        Got rid of unused const int MAX_STRING_SZ = 4096.

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp:
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
        * ace/Msg_WFMO_Reactor.cpp:
        * ace/config-win32-common.h:
        Replaced the use of _WIN32_WINNT with ACE_HAS_WINNT4. Borland C++
        Builder doesn't handle _WIN32_WINNT very well when building under
        Win95.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h:
        Now ACE_Asynch_Result inherits publicly from OVERLAPPED;
        otherwise, Borland C++ Builder refuses to access OVERLAPPED
        members. I'm not sure who's right or wrong here.

        * ace/CORBA_Ref.h:
        Added an #include "ace/ACE.h".

        * ace/Future.h:
        Two cosmetic changes.

        * ace/LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor.cpp:
        Added an #include /**/ "ace/LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor.h".

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp:
        Borland C++ Builder doesn't like extern int sys_nerr, so I
        protected against it.

        * ace/OS.cpp:
        A couple of hacks to handle FILETIMEs and SYSTEM_INFO structs,
        which are defined a little different under Borland C++ Builder.

        * ace/OS.h:
        Added support for Borland C++ Builder.

        * ace/OS.i:
        Borland C++ Builder handles a few functions differently: close,
        SetFilePointer, wfdopen.

        * ace/Synch_T.h:
        A comment on an #else spanned several lines and mixed // and /**/
        styles; hard to read.

        * ace/TTY_IO.cpp:
        A switch was not properly indented and, as a result, had an extra
        break that made Borland C++ Builder complain.

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp:
        Got rid of a couple of unused local variables called result.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h:
        Added a few defines for Borland C++ Builder. Don't know if
        this is the proper way to do it, but there it is.

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp:
        Added the Borland non-sense to allow the tests to link against the
        ACE library under Borland C++ Builder. Major pain in the rear
        end...

        * tests/test_config.h:
        Added a couple of includes for the case of Borland C++ Builder.

        * tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
        Changed variable name allocator to alloc, to avoid conflicts with
        STL allocators under Borland C++ Builder.

        * tests/Reactors_Test.cpp:
        Changed variable name tm to thr_mgr, to avoid conflicts with
        std::tm under Borland C++ Builder.

        * tests/Tokens_Test.cpp:
        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp:
        Added a few explicit template instantiations.

Sun Jun 07 09:51:02 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe_T.cpp: added #include of ace/Timeprobe.h.
          It wouldn't compile on GreenHills without it.

        * STL/bool.h: only #define bool, etc., if _MSC_VER is #defined.
          Thanks to Stanley Leeson <STANLEY.D.LEESON@cdev.com> for
          reporting this.

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: added #include of ace/Timeprobe.cpp
          to pick up template instantiations, if ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES
          was not defined.  This allows the test to build on platforms
          that have explicit template instantiation when libACE was
          built without timeprobes enabled.

Sun Jun  7 01:06:12 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Added the
          ACE_HAS_RECURSIVE_THR_EXIT_SEMANTICS flag to work around problems
          with pthreads on FreeBSD.  Thanks to Amancio Hasty
          <hasty@rah.star-gate.com> for reporting this.

Sat Jun  6 22:00:54 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.cpp: Added code so that advance() is more
          thread-safe.

        * apps/gperf/src/Options.cpp (operator): Changed ACE_OS::exit()
          to ACE_OS::_exit() so we'll leave no trace...

        * apps/gperf/src/Key_List.cpp (output_switch): Fixed another bug
          where strcmp() should be generated instead of strncmp().

        * apps/gperf/src: We no longer call the inline option "GNU" but
          now call it "INLINE".

        * apps/gperf/src/{Options.h,Key_List.cpp,Gen_Perf.cpp}: Revised
          the LARGE_STACK_ARRAY code so that it only gets compiled if
          we're using GCC.

        * apps/gperf/src/Key_List.cpp (output_switch): Fixed a bug where
          strcmp() was being used instead of strncmp().  Thanks to C++
          for finding this!

        * apps/gperf/src/Key_List.cpp: Removed all uses of "register"
          since C++ compilers can do this automagically...

        * apps/gperf/tests/test.cpp (main): Modified the test program to
          use C++ rather than C (ugh!).

        * ace: Added two new files: Timeprobe_T.h and Timeprobe_T.cpp in
          order to solve problems with multiply defined symbols.  Thanks
          to Brian Mendel, David Levine, and Irfan for tracing this down.

Sat Jun  6 19:10:54 1998  Sergio Flores  <sergio@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: changes the default thread priority
        from 6 to 101.

Sat Jun 06 16:43:01 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe.cpp (dtor): inserted missing "[]" in delete of
          array.

Fri Jun  5 11:53:18 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp}: Added enable_debug_messages() to do
          the opposite of disable_debug_messages().

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp: Got rid of all the checks of the
          Service Configurator's debug flag.  Instead, the checking
          will occur in the Service Configurator.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: Added to Stephen Coy's changes so
          that debug messages are turned back on after the Service
          Configurator is done.  That way, other code can still use
          debug messages.

Thu Jun  4 12:25:48 1998  Rajiv C. Gandhi  <gandhi@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/gperf/src/Options.h: removing the option to stack
          allocate some large arrays as CC does not seem to like it.

        * apps/gperf/src/Key_List.cpp (output_lookup_array): removing
          the option to stack allocate some large arrays as CC does
          not seem to like it.

        * apps/gperf/src/Gen_Perf.cpp: removing the option to stack
          allocate some large arrays as CC does not seem to like it.

Thu Jun 04 05:03:09 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.10 released.

Wed Jun  3 02:24:47 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Instead of defining _MT for users if
          it's not defined, spit out an error message and stop the
          compilation.  Thanks to Barney Dalton
          <barneyd@cyllene.uwa.edu.au> for suggesting this.

Tue Jun 02 20:03:51 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-hpux-1[01].x-hpc++.h: Added ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD for
          aC++ on both platforms.

Tue Jun 02 12:19:29 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (wait_grp,wait_task):  These two were
          still copying thread_descriptors and deleting the copies
          directly.  This corrupted the cached thread_descriptor.
          Changing them to use Thread_Descriptor_Base solved the problem.
          Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic <zorani@pathcom.com> for finding
          this.

Tue Jun 02 08:29:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU,ACE-INSTALL.html:
          moved probe=1 support from individual Makefiles to
          wrapper_macros.GNU.

Tue Jun 02 08:09:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h: Removed ACE_HAS_THREAD_SELF.  It was
          causing compile failure.  Thanks to Lee Nash <rnash@gulfaero.com>
          for helping to work this out.

Mon Jun 01 16:19:52 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/Dgram.mdp, Dgram.mak:  Added these files
          to build the examples with MSVC 4.2.

Mon Jun 01 13:01:14 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/Dgram.cpp (run_test): Because of the
          delayed de-registration in WFMO_Reactor, WFMO_Reactor was trying
          to call handle_close on the Event Handler after it was
          destroyed.  Solution: dynamically created the Event Handler and
          call "delete this" in handle_close.  The other alternative was
          to call remove_handler with the DONT_CALL flag and to close the
          socket in the Event Handler's destructor.

        * ace/Timeprobe: The vxworks compiler is lame as it cannot handle
          operator placement new for arrays.  Therefore, ACE_Allocator was
          removed in favor of regular new and delete.

Mon Jun 01 09:54:51 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: removed trailing ; from template
          instantation pragmas.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp,MM_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp,
          Priority_Reactor_Test.cpp,SOCK_Test.cpp: replaced
          !defined (ACE_WIN32) && !defined (VXWORKS) with
          !defined (ACE_LACKS_FORK).

Sun May 31 23:05:10 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html,include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
          added repo=1 make option support.  It only helps when
          building ACE applications.  ACE and TAO still use explicit
          instantiation when building their libraries, because it's
          easiest to avoid link collisions that way.  And it already
          works.

Sun May 31 18:31:24 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/RB_Tree.i:
        * ace/RB_Tree.cpp: Changes suggested by Sergio to make it work
          with older version of GCC.  Referred to RB_Tree_Node_Color
          through the parent class RB_Tree_Node_Base.

Sat May 30 13:14:18 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/RB_Tree.h: Try to put enum into a class again.  This time,
          created a dummy base class to hold the RED and BLACK enums.

Sat May 30 08:01:31 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/RB_Tree.h (RB_Tree_Iterator::operator =): Added explicit
          return type to the declaration.  Wrapped with
          ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC.

Fri May 29 23:06:02 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/RB_Tree.{h,i}: moved enum RB_Tree_Node_Color out of the
          (template) class declaration because g++ 2.7.2.3 couldn't
          find it there.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (remove_thr, VxWorks only): added [] to
          delete of tid array.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

        * ace/RB_Tree.h (RB_Tree_Iterator::operator =): added explicit
          return type to the declaration.  Wrapped with
          ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC.

Fri May 29 21:59:01 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * RB_Tree.h:
        * RB_Tree.i:
        * RB_Tree.cpp: Debugged some minor typo errors, and changes
          related to internalizing the RED and BLACK enums.

Fri May 29 21:55:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: don't use ACE_HAS_PENTIUM code on
          Solaris (ACE_HAS_HI_RES_TIMER) because it uses ::gethrtime ().
          (dump): on Solaris, print 64-bit ints with %llu format.  Other
          platforms may need that, also.

        * ace/Makefile: replaced .o with $(OBJEXT) in gethrtime.o target,
          so that make depend doesn't munge it.

        * ace/OS.h: only use the null versions of the
          ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE* macros with LynxOS 3.0.0.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: commented out -Winline,
          because it complains too much with -O2, and that's now the default.

Fri May 29 17:52:37 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.9 released.

Fri May 29 16:19:34 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.h (class ACE_Guard): ACE_Guard's destructor was
          changing the errno value.  Fixed this to avoid doing so...
          Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting
          this.

Fri May 29 15:33:41 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp:
          added Synchronized Suspend-Resume Test.

Fri May 29 14:46:49 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile
        * ace/RB_Tree.h
        * ace/RB_Tree.cpp: Added changes to RB_Tree to enable overloading
          of the comparison method.  Added class RB_Tree to the UNIX
          Makefile.

        * ace/OS.cpp: Added some minor fixes to the difftime implementation.

        * ace/OS.cpp:
        * ace/OS.i:
        * ace/README:
        * ace/config-sunos4*:
          Added ACE_LACKS_DIFFTIME macro because SunOS4 does not support
          the Standard C difftime function.  Added a difftime
          implementation for when such is the case.

Fri May 29 08:22:36 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp, Trace.cpp: Changed decision for
          order-of-include/inline from ACE_WIN32 to
          ACE_HAS_ONE_DEFINITION_RULE.  This completes the changes needed
          to be able to use the newer versions of HP aC++.

        * ace/config-win32.h: Set ACE_HAS_ONE_DEFINITION_RULE.

Thu May 28 16:17:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/README: Added ACE_HAS_ONE_DEFINITION_RULE.
        * ace/config-hpux-10.x-hpc++.h:
        * ace/config-hpux-11.x-hpc++.h: Added ACE_HAS_ONE_DEFINITION_RULE
          for aC++.  This is part of a set of changes to make ACE work
          with HP aC++ A.01.09 (10.20) and A.03.05 (11.00).  The other
          changes are being tested still.  Thanks _very_ much to Steve Coy
          for digging through this with HP and working out a solution!

Thu May 28 15:55:48 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added new configuration files for SCO.  Thanks to Arturo for
          this.

Thu May 28 13:57:50 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Filecache.cpp: removed redundant template instantiations.

        * ace/config-lynxos.cpp: added undef ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION
          for LynxOS 3.0.0.

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp,Map_Manager.cpp: replaced bare explicit
          destructor calls with ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE{,2} macro invocations.

        * ace/OS.h: #define ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE to be null on LynxOS.
          Without it, the g++ that's distributed with LynxOS 3.0.0 hopelessly
          chokes on explicit calls to template class destructors.  This
          hack could cause memory leaks, though currently ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE
          is only used to call empty, non-virtual destructors (in
          Containers.cpp, Hash_Map_Manager.cpp, and Map_Manager.cpp).
          Also, added ACE_DES_FREE_TEMPLATE2 macro for use with two
          template arguments.  There's got to be a better way.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added LynxOS Version 3.0.0
          support.  It's optional at this point:  add VERSION=3.0.0 to your
          make invocation to enable.  Disabled -Wall with LynxOS 3.0.0.
          Enabled optimization.

Thu May 28 07:47:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: Changed the "should succeed" test
          from port 25 (smtp) to 7 (echo) to try and get a higher success
          rate.  Thanks to David Levine for this suggestion.

Wed May 27 13:45:24 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (handle_timed_complete): Fixed problem where
          successful connect was being reported as a failure (P90).

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp: Added a test for a successful
          non-blocking connect (tests fix from above).

Wed May 27 07:04:42 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: default debug_ to 1 instead
          of 0.  And the -d option now disables debug messages,
          instead of enabling them.  Thanks to Irfan for reporting
          that LM_DEBUG messages were lost without this fix.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer (calibrate): added calibrate () method
          to calculate the global scale factor on Pentiums.  It's
          called by the constructor for the first instantiation
          in a process.  (On WIN32, get_registry_scale_factor () is
          called instead of calibrate ().)

        * ace/Stats.cpp (sample): continue aggregating data even
          if there is overflow.  This allows, e.g., a mean to be
          calculated even if the standard deviation calculation overflow.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: don't run the
          Yield_Test on VxWorks because it takes too long.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.*: moved calibration from constructor to
          global_scale_factor () accessor.

        * ace/Timeprobe.cpp: no longer need to explicitly calibrate the
          High_Res_Timer.

Tue May 26 22:25:18 1998  Stephen Coy  <stevec@wsa.com.au>

        * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp},Service_Config.cpp: added support for
          -d in Service_Config files to enable/disable LM_DEBUG messages.

Tue May 26 14:53:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): Fixed use of uninitialized
          variable, nr_subscribed.  Thanks to Nanbor for finding this.

Tue May 26 13:39:21 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe.cpp:
        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp:
          Now egcs and Sun/CC are happy with this files.

Tue May 26 00:35:49 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: Added new test.

        * ace/Timeprobe: Added the ability to have multiple event tables
          for time probes. Multiple maps can be used to chunk up the time
          probes.  Each one can be added by calling event_descriptions().
          Different tables are used internally by consulting the
          minimum_id for each table.  It is up to the user to make sure
          that multiple tables do not share the same event id range.

Sat May 23 21:52:49 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.i:
          The rd_ptr() and wr_ptr() are const methods now.

Sat May 23 00:18:58 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp: Updated settings for MIPS CPU.

        * tests/WinCE/*.dsp: Updated settings for MIPS CPU.

Fri May 22 16:00:03 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp (spawn): We must check for !defined
          (ACE_LACKS_FORK) rather test for VxWorks or Win32.  Thanks to
          Steven Coy for reporting this.

Fri May 22 20:01:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: moved ACE_IO_Vector declaration ahead of OS.i #include.

        * ace/OS.i (ACE_IO_Vector::buffer): added static cast of new_buffer
          to char *.

        * ace/OS.i (writev): changed return type from int to ssize_t to
          match declaration in OS.h.

Fri May 22 12:20:11 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Other parts of ACE were modified to use the new
          ACE_IO_Vector class.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_IO_Vector): Added a new class that inherits from
          the correct IO_Vector class provided by the platform.

          writev() and readv() were being emulated on Win32 in ACE.  A new
          ACE_OS::writev() and ACE_OS::readv() has been added to ACE
          that uses WSASend() and WSARecv() respectively.  However, in
          order for you to exploit these new functions, you must use
          ACE_IO_Vector instead of iovec.  The ideal situation would have
          been to totally replace iovec with ACE_IO_Vector but that would
          break too much code. So, if you keep using iovec, you will use
          the expenses and slow emulations.  If you want to use WSASend()
          and WSARecv(), switch over to ACE_IO_Vector. It will work on
          both Win32 and non-Win32 platforms.

Fri May 22 07:53:03 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-linux-pthread.h: removed two
          ACE_LACKS_CONDATTR_PSHARED #defines.  That leaves just
          one, that's commented out.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: create all
          threads as detached so they don't have to be joined.  They
          test was using up resources on LynxOS, if a high -c option
          was used, without this change.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5-{g++,sunc++-4.x}.h,config-sunos5.5.h:
          merged config-sunos5.5-g++.h and config-sunos5.5-sunc++-4.x.h
          into config-sunos5.5.h.  That new file should be maintained
          for both compilers from now on.  The old files have been
          retained for backward compatibility.  The just #include
          config-sunos5.5.h.

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: #include config-sunos5.5.h instead
          of the separate Sun C++ and g++ configs.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU:
          updated comment to reflect change to config-sunos5.5.h.

Fri May 22 07:30:23 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.8 released.

Fri May 22 07:26:06 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Stats.cpp: added some casts to avoid MSVC++ warnings
          about narrowing.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: removed commented-out
          ACE_LACKS_{COND,MUTEX}ATTR_PSHARED.

Fri May 22 00:09:15 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Local_Tokens.{h,cpp} (ACE_Null_Token): Only defined default
          ctor/dtor explicitly when ACE_LACKS_INLINE_FUNCTIONS.

        * ace/Stats.cpp: Defined ACE_BUILD_DLL at the beginning.
          Win32 needs to define ULONGLONG literals as 999ui64.
          This is the only place that uses i64 literals.

Thu May 21 21:55:09 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.7 released.

Thu May 21 17:36:37 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: added support for POSIX 199506
          extensions.  Thanks to J. Russell Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for providing this support.

        * ace/Local_Tokens.{h,i}: inlined ACE_Null_Token ctor and dtor
          in class header because the clone () method needs the ctor
          inlined, and it's too difficult to get it right with macros.

        * tests/SString_Test.cpp (main): added ACE_ASSERT with s4 in
          it, because it was unused otherwise.

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Options.cpp (print_results):
          changed #else to #elif, because it has a condition after it.

Thu May 21 15:28:07 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/test_config.h: Modified to write output from tests into
          log file.  Notice that log files on CE have extension name
          ".txt" instead of ".log".

        * ace/OS.i (strrchr): Added UNICODE version of this function.

        * ace/Log_Record.{h,cpp}: Generalized message formatting on CE by
          adding a new method format_msg().

        * ace/Reactor_Impl.h: Removed an extra comma.

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp: Include "ace/Reactor.h"

        * tests/Recursive_Mutex_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Future.cpp: Removed iteration restriction on CE.

Thu May 21 12:13:36 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Added Stats.cpp into projects.

Wed May 20 23:02:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): On Win32, if
          ACE::get_ip_interfaces finds less than 2 interfaces, call
          subscribe with "0.0.0.0".  This is sort of a hack and is meant
          only to help get things working again until ACE::get_ip_interfaces
          can be made to work correctly in all cases.

Wed May 20 10:42:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-mvs.h: enabled ACE_LACKS_CONDATTR_PSHARED and
          ACE_LACKS_MUTEXATTR_PSHARED.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr
          <GehrCR@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM> for advising on this.

        * ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h,config-lynxos.h: removed
          commented-out ACE_LACKS_{COND,MUTEX}ATTR_PSHARED #defines.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5-{sunc++-4.x,g++}.h: removed
          commented-out ACE_LACKS_{COND,MUTEX}ATTR_PSHARED.  Enabled
          ACE_HAS_CLOCK_GETTIME, because we always link with -lposix4.
          Thanks to J. Russell Noseworthy <rnosewor@objectsciences.com>
          for inspiring the ACE_HAS_CLOCK_GETTIME enable.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: removed uncommented
          ACE_LACKS_CONDATTR_PSHARED, so that we can test whether
          it's necessary.

        * ace/Stats.*,Makefile: added ACE_Stats class.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: use
          ACE_Stats to calculate standard deviations.

Tue May 19 21:24:50 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Future_Test.cpp: Reduced the number of iterations on CE.

        * ace/Synch.i: Added #ifdef (ACE_HAS_THREADS) to make it compile
          on non-threaded platforms.

Tue May 19 10:05:07 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SString.cpp (strlen): Renamed ACE_WString::wstrlen to
          ACE_WString::strlen.

        * ace/SString.i: Reordered functions to make g++ happy.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (hash_pjw): Changed ACE_OS::strlen to
          ACE_WString::strlen.

Tue May 19 09:52:08 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h:
          Added ACE_LACKS_MUTEXATTR_PSHARED

Mon May 18 16:37:36 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SString.h (ACE_CString): Added the ability to hold on to
          user supplied character strings without having to make a copy.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Added implementations for strrchr, strnchr,
          strnstr, and strstr.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (hash_pjw): Added new versions of these that work
          with user specified string length.

Mon May 18 12:24:40 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-*.h: Commented out most of the
          ACE_LACKS_CONDATTR_PSHARED so we can see what platforms really
          DON'T support this...

        * ace/OS.i (mutex_init): Added support for
          pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() so we can initialize POSIX
          pthreads process-wide mutexes.  Thanks to Ki-hyun Yoon
          <abird@nextware.co.kr> for suggesting this.

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: Added an #define for
          ACE_THREAD_POSIX_SEM.  Thanks to Ki-hyun Yoon
          <abird@nextware.co.kr> for reporting this.

        * ace/config-sunos5*.h: Removed the ACE_LACKS_RWLOCK_T stuff since
          it's unnecessary.  Thanks to Chris Lahey for reminding me of
          this...

Mon May 18 13:48:14 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.i: Added #ifdef (ACE_HAS_THREADS) to make it compile
          on non-threaded platforms.

Mon May 18 12:31:32 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.{h,i,cpp}: Added an accessor debug() for
          external access to the <debug_> variable.  More debug messages
          check this before displaying.

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp: Checks Service_Config's debug flag before
          outputting debug messages.

Sun May 17 23:14:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Wince/*.dsp: Disabled precompiled headers.  They ate up
          all my disk space.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: <process_directive> takes a string of
          type ASYS_TCHAR.  Use ACE_WIDE_STRING to do the conversion.

        * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp} (ACE_ASSERT): Use unicode in ACE_ASSERT.
          (log): Don't exit the program for now.  Exiting program here
          destroys all debugging message in the window.

        * tests/Reader_Writer_Test.cpp: Reduced the number of iterations
          on WinCE.

        * ace/OS.i: Added ACE_OS::time () implementation for CE.

Sun May 17 21:45:07 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp: changed type of
          MULTIPLY_FACTOR from int to size_t to avoid signed/unsigned
          comparison.

        * tests/Tokens_Test.cpp: synchronize start of thread svc ()
          routines.  Occasionally, the first thread would finish before
          any others had started.  The TSS objects would get cleaned
          up.  Then, the remaining threads would start up and make a big
          mess.

Sat May 16 15:10:46 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.h (ACE_Service_Config): Moved the
          process_directive() into the public part of the class so this
          can be called by applications one the Service Configurator is
          open.  Thanks to Tom Arbuckle
          <arbuckle@uran.informatik.uni-bonn.de> for suggesting this.

Sat May 16 14:12:09 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,i,cpp} (class ACE_Thread_Descriptor_Base):
          Extract thread handle and thread creation flags out from
          Thread_Descriptor into this new class.  This is necessary
          because after my last round of changes to improve
          ACE_Thread_Manager, I changed the <terminated_queue_> from
          holding Thread_Descriptor's to holding pointers to descriptor.
          This was a bad move because the address of these pointers had
          already been "freed."  The <terminated_queue_> now holds
          ACE_Thread_Descriptor_Base which contains only the information
          needed for manipulating <terminated_queue_>.  Thanks to Arturo
          for noticing this.

Sat May 16 03:23:35 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp (main): Added a new
          function to test the performance of ACE_Thread_Mutex in single
          thread _without_ any contention.

Fri May 15 22:55:51 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Recursive_Mutex_Test.cpp: Only iterate the test 50 times
          on CE as on Chorus.  Otherwise, as I'm using a CEdit to hold the
          test output, CEdit would overflow.

        * ace/OS.i (thr_getspecific): Don't check for return value of
          TlsGetValue on CE because CE doesn't seem to set the LastError
          correspondingly.
          (strchr): Added implementation on CE.

        * Added Activation_Queue.i and Strategies.i.

        * Combed thru all these files and added difinitions for ctor/dtor
          for a bunch of classes explicitly.  CE needs them.

          Activation_Queue.cpp Activation_Queue.h Dynamic.h Dynamic.i
          Event_Handler.h Event_Handler.i Get_Opt.h Get_Opt.i Handle_Set.h

Fri May 15 16:55:34 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5*.h: Automatically enable ACE_LACKS_RWLOCK_T if
          we're NOT using Solaris threads (since pthreads doesn't support
          readers/writer locks).

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: Removed a duplicate template
          instantiation of template class
          ACE_Unbounded_Queue_Iterator<ACE_CString>.  Thanks to Ben Eng
          <ben@jetpen.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS: Fixed a number of problems that occurred when trying to
          use the PTHREAD implementation on Solaris without using
          ACE_HAS_STHREADS.  The problems related primarily to the
          ACE_OS::rw*() functions.  To fix the problems, the following
          changes were made.

          Remove the #if defined (ACE_HAS_STHREADS) from the case where we
          have the native rw*() functions.  We just use the
          ACE_LACKS_RWLOCK_T compile flag to determine whether we have the
          native functions.

          Without the ACE_HAS_STHREAD flag, ACE_rwlock_t comes up
          undefined.  To fix this, moved the definition at approx. line
          1868 above the #else at approx. line 1865 as the following:

          #if ! defined (ACE_LACKS_RWLOCK_T)
          #include <synch.h>
          typedef rwlock_t ACE_rwlock_t;
          #endif  // ! ACE_LACKS_RWLOCK_T

          Finally, the ACE_idtype_t type was also undefined.  To fix this,
          moved the typedef from within the #if defined (ACE_HAS_STHREADS) ||
          defined (DIGITAL_UNIX) block and create a new ifdef block:

          #if defined (ACE_HAS_IDTYPE_T)
          typedef idtype_t ACE_idtype_t;
          #else
          typedef int ACE_idtype_t;
          #endif

          Thanks to Chris Lahey <CLahey@cccis.com> for his through help at
          recognizing and fixing these problems.

Fri May 15 09:38:37 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: redirect cvs tag output to /dev/null.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time (main): fixed
          printout of yield test time for other than the default
          number of iterations.

Fri May 15 09:29:57 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.6 released.

Fri May 15 08:25:19 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: fixed and added template instantations.

        * ace/Svc_Conf_y.cpp,etc/Svc_Conf_y.cpp.diff: removed compile
          warnings.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_g++.GNU: use PIC instead of pic,
          because the TAO orbsvcs lib needs it.

        * Makefile: added .PHONY for phony targets.

Fri May 15 02:47:35 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.5 released.

Fri May 15 02:42:06 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.4 released.

Thu May 14 15:28:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-kcc-common.h: Added the ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD to the
          config file.  Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for reporting
          this.

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc: Updated the Timer_Service
          test to demonstrate the new service configurator feature.  It's
          AWESOME!

        * ace/Svc_Conf.h,
          ace/Svc_Conf.l:
          Added a super-cool new feature that allows us to parse service
          configurator directives from a string rather than from a
          svc.conf file.

        * ace/Svc_Conf.l (yywrap): Free up ace_yy_current_buffer in yywrap
          to prevent a memory leak.  Thanks to Paul Motuzenko
          <p_motuzenko@hotmail.com> for reporting this.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-poll.cpp: Enhanced the
          implementation to make it easier to follow and to support the
          latest features of CPP-inclient.cpp.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Added a wrapper for strcspn(3s).

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-fancy.cpp: Added more
          cool changes to the CPP-inserver.cpp example and renamed it.

Thu May 14 14:46:02 1998  Irfan Pyarali <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the definition of ACE_Export before it is used.

Thu May 14 13:22:46 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.cpp:
          The static duplicate() method can take pointer to a const
          Message_Block.

Wed May 13 18:46:28 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-{inserver,inclient}.cpp: Added
          profile timing to the server so we can compute socket
          performance metrics.  Also generalized the tests so we can
          experiment with both oneway and twoway calls.

Wed May 13 19:20:27 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
        * ace/OS.cpp: Added a substitute gets implementation for when
          ACE_LACKS_GETS.  The substitute is actually safer than gets, so
          I may end up making gets call the new routine instead of
          Standard C's.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h: Changed the g++ common file so that
          2.8.1 acts like EGCS does.  This worked on Solaris 2.5.1.  We'll
          see how other's fare.

Wed May 13 18:13:12 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.3 released.

Wed May 13 11:29:56 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Options.cpp (print_results):
          My previous change to add print_results functionality when
          ACE_HAS_GETRUSAGE broke this on Win32.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h (ACE_HAS_GNUC_BROKEN_TEMPLATE_INLINE_FUNCTIONS):
          Made this macro defined for all versions of g++.

Wed May 13 09:26:48 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * many *.{h,i,cpp,idl} files:  inserted RCS keyword string.

Wed May 13 00:35:25 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Added ACE_Export to a bunch of class in ACE.  Thanks to
          Gonzalo A. Diethelm (gonzo@ing.puc.cl) for pointing this out.

Tue May 12 15:16:04 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-WinCE.h:
        * ace/OS.h: Stopped using non-static object manager for CE.  This
          is causing some problem at process shutdown.

        * ace/Acceptor.cpp: Made CE friendly.

        * ace/Process.cpp ([~]ACE_Process_Options): Moved things around to
          avoid compilation errors on CE.  Secret: CE doesn't have
          environment variables.

Tue May 12 13:28:05 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
          The ACE_INLINE_FOR_GNUC macro must be defined (as the null
          token) if ACE_HAS_GNUC_BROKEN_TEMPLATE_INLINE_FUNCTION is not
          defined.

Tue May 12 12:30:55 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/README:
        * ace/config-g++-common.h (ACE_HAS_GNUC_BROKEN_TEMPLATE_INLINE_FUNCTIONS):
          Added this new macro to get around a bug which only happens in
          GNUC 2.7.xx.  It mistakenly refers to the template definition as
          the place where a function is used.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_INLINE_FOR_GNUC): Added the macro to fix the GNUC
          bug.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Added above macro to set_next and
          get_next.

Tue May 12 12:11:36 1998  Bob Laferriere  <laferrie@gsao.med.ge.com>

        * ace/Process.{h,cpp}: modifications to make the environment buffer
          and number of environment variables tunable in the constructor.
          I also fixed a logic error which previously attempted to write
          beyond an array bounds of the array of pointers into the
          environment buffer. I made the environment_argv_ buffer tunable
          as well. The new constructor takes the old hardcoded static sizes
          as the default dynamic sizes for backwards compatiblity.
          The behavior is to return -1 if the maximum buffer size or
          maximum number of environment arguments has been reached in
          following with the prior behavior. I opted not to make the members
          grow as needed so the class would still follow it's prior behavior.
          This would be simple to add, however.

Tue May 12 08:29:50 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc.cpp (ACE_Allocator::instance): replaced dynamic
          allocation of the default ACE_Allocator with allocation from
          the data segment.  Thanks to Ben Eng <ben@jetpen.com> for
          providing the stack trace that revealed the problem.

        * ace/Malloc.h: added comments to not add data members to
          ACE_Allocator or ACE_New_Allocator.

        * bin/g++dep: changed PATH to pick up /project/doc/pkg/gnu/bin/g++,
          and removed GNUG_INCLUDE.  Thanks to Ganesh Pai <gpai@voicetek.com>
          for reporting problems with the old version on Linux.

Tue May 12 02:59:27 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp: Added ACE_OS::sleep
          (0) before all timing sections start.  This ensures we own a
          fresh time slice when the timing begin and reduce the chances of
          getting preempted

Tue May 12 00:42:05 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/dsp2dsp.pl: This file clones a new MSVC 5.0 dsp file based
          on setting from another dsp file.  It is most useful in adding
          new project files into tests/.

        * tests/WinCE/*: New project files.  Updated the workspace.
          Please see CE-status for the current progress.

        * tests/Buffer_Stream_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Enum_Interfaces_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Message_Block_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Reactors_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Thread_Mutex_Test.cpp: Made CE friendly.

        * tests/test_config.h: Moved some common definitions shared among
          CE and other platforms out.

        * ace/Acceptor.cpp:
        * ace/Acceptor.h:
        * ace/Connector.cpp:
        * ace/Connector.h:
        * ace/Stream.cpp:
        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp:
        * ace/Svc_Handler.h:
        * ace/Synch.h:
        * ace/Synch.i: CE stuff.

        * ace/config-WinCE.h: Defined ACE_DEFAULT_SERVER_HOST in UNICODE
          here to overwrite the default setting.

        * ace/Synch.i (ACE_Lock): CE needs a default ctor here.

Mon May 11 15:43:01 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/WinCE/ce_tests.dsw:
        * tests/WinCE/Atomic_Op_Test.dsp:
        * tests/WinCE/Barrier_Test.dsp:
        * tests/WinCE/Basic_Types_Test.dsp:
        * tests/WinCE/Map_Manager_Test.dsp: Added/Updated project files.

        * tests/Atomic_Op_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Barrier_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp: Made them CE friendly.

        * ace/config-WinCE.h: Only define ACE_LACKS_INLINE_FUNCTIONS when
          building debug version of ACE for SH series CPU.

        * WindozeCE/WindozeCEDlg.cpp: Updated the initial message after the
          display window but before ACE console progrm started.


Mon May 11 15:43:01 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{i,cpp}: Moved CE's impelmentation of ACE_OS::fprintf to
          cpp file.

Mon May 11 15:15:24 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h:
          Removed bogus ACE_INLINE macros in class declaration, they were
          making the SGI compiler *very* unhappy.

Mon May 11 15:11:11 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (ctime_r): Renamed the fmtstr to
          ACE_OS_CTIME_R_FMTSTR for we may need to use similar scheme to
          fix other bugs in the future.

Mon May 11 14:50:47 CDT 1998  Everett Anderson  <eea1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Name_Proxy.cpp: Changed one last recv to recv_n.

Mon May 11 13:14:22 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/RB_Tree.{cpp,h,i}: (new) Red-Black Tree data structure
          implementation.  A Red-Black Tree is an efficient
          self-balancing binary tree that uses recoloring to
          minimize rotations while rebalancing on insertion or
          deletion of a tree node.  Items in the tree are stored
          according to a key provided at insertion.  This
          implementation is an OO rendition of the ADT described
          in Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, "Introduction to Algorithms"
          (c) 1990, MIT.

Mon May 11 12:31:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.h: Made ACE_LD_SEARCH_PATH, ACE_LD_SEARCH_PATH_SEPARATOR_STR,
          ACE_DLL_PREFIX, ACE_DLL_SUFFIX settable via config.h.

        * ace/config-hpux-10.x.h:
          ace/config-hpux11.h: Set ACE_LD_SEARCH_PATH, ACE_DLL_SUFFIX.
          Thanks to Kirill Rybaltchenko and David Levine for identifying
          this problem.

Mon May 11 12:27:05 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (send_n): retry if ACE::send () fails due to
          EWOULDBLOCK.  Thanks to Dave Brackman <dbrackma@OhioEE.com>
          for reporting this.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): check return values of
          options.setenv () calls.  Thanks to Bob Laferriere
          <laferrie@gsao.med.ge.com> for recommending this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: instead of
          using GNU ranlib386 after using GHS ax for i386 targets, just
          use GNU ar386.

        * ace/gethrtime.cpp: added some comments about GHS asm support.

        * java/netsvcs/{Logger,Time}/Makefile,
          java/tests/netsvcs/Logger/Makefile:
          replaced WRAPPER_ROOT with ACE_ROOT.

Mon May 11 05:14:18 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-WinCE.h: Added ACE_HAS_NON_STATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.  CE
          console programs have to set this flag because the main
          functions is actually renamed and running in a threads.

        * tests/test_config.h: Excluded class and macros to redirect
          debugging messages to files under CE.  This make debugging a bit
          easier but we should eventually put them back under CE.

        * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp: Made CE friendly.

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp: Some ACE_ERROR were not CE friendly.

        * ace/Profile_Timer.{h,i}:
        * ace/Synch.{h,i}: Moved inline function definitions to Synch.i
          file.  Windows CE can't grok any inline at all.

Mon May 11 02:43:45 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp (main): Added
          a new method for benchmarking ACE_Thread_Manager::spawn_n.
          Added other cosmetic changes.

Sun May 10 23:20:36 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Token.cpp: Adding more debugging statements.

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp (should_reissue_accept): Added template
          method that decides whether a new asynchronous accept should be
          issued.

Sun May 10 23:28:57 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp(inherit_log_msg):
        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (thr_desc): Wait on Thread_Descriptor's lock
          instead of the "global" Thread_Manager lock.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Moved acquire_release() from
          ACE_Thread_Manager to ACE_Thread_Descriptor.  This method is
          called from ACE_Log_Msg::thr_desc to prevent a thread from using
          its thread descriptor before it is fully built.  The change
          relieve spwaned threads from waiting for other threads created
          in the same spwan_n call to be created before it can start
          running.

          (insert): Added an extra argument to control whether we want to
          insert the newly created thread into ACE_Thread_Manager's thread
          table or not.  Notice that it is default to 1 to remain the
          original behavior in case anyone is using this class/function
          directly in their code.  However, in ACE_Thread_Manager, we
          always prevent it from inserting because we always register
          thread descriptors from spawn_i.

Sun May 10 01:51:29 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Renamed ACE_OS::Time_To_The_Beginning to
          ACE_OS::FILETIME_to_timval_skew.

        * ace/OS.cpp: Found the problem in ACE_OS::ctime_r.  An internal
          compiler bug (?) caused the bug.  The solution: move the format
          string out as a const string instead of putting it in sprintf
          directly.  Weird.

        * ace/Log_Record.{h,cpp}: Made priority_name_ and its access
          function CE friendly.

Sat May  9 20:09:13 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Changed the type of lock used by
          <thread_desc_freelist_> to ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX.  Or else, it won't
          compile on platforms that doesn't support thread.  Thanks to
          Woody Zenfell <woody@arl.wustl.edu> for reporting this.

Fri May 08 22:29:01 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): CE UNICODE related fix.

Fri May  8 14:18:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h (ACE_Thread_Descriptor): Added ACE_INLINE
          to declarations of set_next and get_next to get around a bug in
          a version of g++.

Fri May  8 11:57:23 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp: Fixed a bug where we weren't calling
          close_i() when resizing the buffer.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (set_grp): In
          ACE_Thread_Manager::{get,set}_grp we must check to see that we
          have a valid pointer after the ACE_FIND.  Otherwise a seg fault
          occurs.  Thanks to Chris Lahey <CLahey@cccis.com> for reporting
          this.

Fri May 08 09:47:50 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: only use ACE_HAS_POLL with glibc2.
          Thanks to Saneyasu <sane@sail.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp> for reporting
          this.

        * ace/OS.i (sleep): On Linux without ::poll () (prior to glibc),
          copy the ACE_Time_Value argument because the system modifies it.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: moved -lm from LIBS
          to MATHLIB.

        * performance-tests/UDP/Makefile: added $(MATHLIB) to LDLIBS.

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp (have_asynchio): use
          _SC_LISTIO_AIO_MAX instead of _SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX if it's
          #defined.  It is on DU 4.0.

Fri May 08 08:43:42 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_gcc.GNU: Added $(PIC) to
          definition of SOFLAGS.  Thanks to Kirill Rybaltchenko
          <Kirill.Rybaltchenko@cern.ch> for this fix.

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): Added code for Win32 so that
          if a subscribe is done without specifying an interface, the mcast
          address is subscribed to on each non-loopback interface.  This works
          around a bug in NT's winsock in the presence of multiple IP
          interfaces.  Won't hurt 95 - will just run a bit slower than it
          otherwise would.

        * examples/Reactor/Multicast/Multicast.{mdp,mak}: Added MSVC 4.2
          workspace for this example.

Fri May  8 03:43:25 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,cpp}: Added yet one more member variable
          into Thread_Descriptor to keep track of registration of
          Thread_Descriptors.  By adding this variable, we can avoid an
          extra locking in remove_thr for most cases (normal cases ;-).
          Thanks to the inspiration from Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>.

Thu May 07 22:06:13 1998  Ben Eng  <ben@jetpen.com>

        * ace/config-kcc-common.h,config-linux-{common,kcc}.h: updated
          KCC/Linux support, and integrated into config-linux-common.h.

Thu May  7 20:32:20 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/client/local_dgram_client_test.cpp
          (main): Oops, we need to move the unlink() AFTER we create the
          file...  Thanks to Sandro Doro <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for
          reporting this.

Thu May 07 19:08:22 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.2 released.

Thu May  7 14:10:41 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timer_Hash_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp:
          The classes had a INHERITED typedef for the base class, but
          Solaris defines a macro by the same name. This causes very weird
          problems with EGCS (and probably other g++ versions).

Thu May 07 04:15:23 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Profile_Timer.cpp (elapsed_time): Treat Win32 differently
          so I can use this function with WinCE Emulation build.  The
          problem is that Win32 can't convert __int64 to double.

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp} (ACE_Time_Value): (Win32 only) Added a new static
          const member (Time_To_The_Beginning) of type DWORDLONG (unsigned
          _int64) to adjust the time skew between FILETIME and POSIX time.
          Changed the type of _100ns to ULARGE_INTEGER to eliminate
          unnecessary computation.

Wed May  6 23:58:40 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp:
          The signature for the open() method of the notify pipe has been
          modified.

Wed May  6 23:28:47 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/client/local_dgram_client_test.cpp:
          Fixed a couple of mistakes that were causing the UNIX domain
          sockets not to work.  Thanks to Sandro Doro
          <doros@aureus.sublink.org> for recommending this.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp (svc): An 'i'
          was being defined twice, gorp!  It's fixed now!

Wed May 06 22:00:14 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: only #define
          ACE_HAS_4_4BSD_SENDMSG_RECVMSG with __GLIBC__.  Thanks
          to Chanaka Liyanaarachchi <chanakal@ittc.ukans.edu> for
          reporting the lack of CMSG_DATA support on RedHat 4.2.

Wed May 06 18:35:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces): Reset buf_len before each call to
          get_reg_key to get registry value for device's IP address.  It gets
          overwritten on each call to get_reg_key.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_mvs.GNU: Added definition for PIC.
          Though not related to position-independent-code, it is a switch that
          makes shared lib builds work right.  Removed the old SOBUILD def.
          Thanks to Chuck Gehr for helping with this strategy.

Wed May 06 16:32:53 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Filecache.h (ACE_Filecache_Handle): Removed
          ACE_EXPORT_DECLARE and specified ACE_Export directly for
          ACE_Filecache_Handle and ACE_Filecache in calss declarations.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,i,cpp}: A bug was found by Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> who noticed that when a thread was
          spawned and then exited immediately, its thread descriptor might
          get freed before even get registered into the thread table kept
          by the Thread_Manager.  Although it doesn't make any sense to
          spawn a thread just to let it return immediately, a middleware
          shouldn't restrict the way how users want to use it.

          I got around this problem by adding a lock into
          Thread_Descriptor.  Before spawning a thread, the Thread Manager
          will first grab the lock.  It won't release the lock until
          calling append thread, at which point, the Thread_Descriptor of
          the thread has been stashed into the table.  Removing the
          Thread_Descriptor also requires to hold this lock and release
          the lock before the Thread_Descriptor is "freed."  Therefore,
          if a thread exit before its Thread_Manager ever gets a chance to
          register it, it will block and waiting.

          The type of the lock is defined by ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_LOCK
          which, by default, is ACE_Thread_Mutex.  User can change the
          definition by defining in their config.h file.  For example, if
          you can be sure that all your threads will run for an extended
          long time (which, in most case, should be true,) you can disable
          this feature by defining this as a ACE_Null_Mutex to speed up
          spawning and termination of threads.

          (thread_desc_freelist_): Added a free list to Thread_Manager to
          recycle Thread_Descriptor.  By default, this free list
          pre-allocate 0 Thread_Descriptor and has low-water-mark of 1,
          increment count 1 and a huge (25000) high water mark.  That is,
          if you use a Thread_Manager for an extended period of time, you
          won't have to dynamically allocate memory for Thread_Descriptor
          for every thread after your system is stable (the thread count
          fluctuates between some certain values.)

          There are two ways to change the settings.  First, by defining
          ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_LWM, ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_HWM,
          ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_INC, and
          ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_PREALLOC in your <config.h> file.
          This changes the default setting of your ACE.  (The global
          Thread_Manager use this setting.)  Or, you can specify these
          values when creating a Thread_Manager.

        * ace/Free_List.cpp (alloc,dealloc): Don't grab the lock in these
          two functions.  They only get called from add() and remove()
          which hold the lock before making the call.  Actually, they also
          gets called from the constructor and destructor.  But that
          shouldn't be a problem.

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp (run_test): Moved the #endif of
          ACE_HAS_THREADS down to avoid compilation error on non-threaded
          platforms.

Tue May  5 14:12:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sco5.0.0-fsu-pthread.GNU: Added a

Tue May 05 08:35:18 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h: updated the determination
          of ACE_SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE.  Thanks to Bob Laferriere
          <laferrie@gsao.med.ge.com> for providing the fix.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_g++.GNU: use -gstabs+ instead
          of -g on Solaris86.

        * etc/Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff: updated.  It's magic, Nanbor :-)
          The problem seems to be due to an old version left in
          /tmp/Svc_Conf_l.cpp, which confuses flex.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h,config-g++-common.h: moved
          ACE_HAS_PENTIUM (with i386) from config-linux-common.h
          to config-g++-common.h.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: added ACE_HAS_POLL, so we
          don't use ::select () in ACE_OS::sleep ().  Linux's
          ::select () modifies its timeout argument!

        * ace/OS.i (gethrtime): added RDTSC support for all g++
          _and_ ACE_HAS_PENTIUM platforms.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added ACE_HAS_PENTIUM with GHS
          on Intel platforms.

        * ace/Makefile: for GHS on Intel 8086, build gethrtime.cpp.
          It's used to provide a high-resolution time using the
          Pentium RDTSC instruction.  I don't know how to get
          GHS' asm to do it, so it uses g++.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note about carefully installing
          egcs on Linux.  Thanks to Kurt Sussman <kls@best.com> for
          tracking down the cause of mysterious link failures.

Tue May 05 02:15:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp: I know, I know.  I shouldn't mess with this
          file directly.  But I couldn't manufacture this file even with
          the stock Svc_Conf.l using Doug's flex.  So, I reckon I'll just
          check this in now and fix the Svc_Conf_l.diff later.

        * ace/Service_Config.{h,cpp} (process_directive): Standard CE
          stuff.

        * WindozeCE/WinAdapter*.*:
        * WindozeCE/WindozeCE*.*: Replaced the old adapter for CE with a
          new one.  The new version allows uses to scroll thru the
          "console" output.

Mon May 04 17:09:39 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: lots of
          cleanup.  The main changes were the use of ACE_THR_PRI_FIFO_DEF
          for the default therad priority, and removal of some
          unnecessary thr_yield () calls.

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: added arguments to main (),
          removed #includes that are already in ace/OS.h, and added
          ACE_START_TEST/ACE_END_TEST calls.

Mon May  4 13:08:18 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: Removed a mysterious "30" at the end of
          an #undef.  Thanks to J. Russell Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for reporting this problem.

Mon May 04 08:49:09 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): with ACE_NEEDS_LWP_PRIO_SET,
          added the call to ACE_OS::thr_setprio () so that the LWP priority
          will be set if running in the RT class.  Applications no longer
          have to be concerned with this.

        * performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp (svc): removed
          ACE_OS::thr_setprio () calls to set LWP priority, now that ACE
          handles that internally.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_*linux.GNU: added "s" to
          ARFLAGS, so that ranlib is no longer necessary.

Sun May 03 22:37:38 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (open_handle): WinCE doesn't support
          ExpandEnvironmentStringA.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Only define ACE_HAS_GETRUSAGE when
          ACE_HAS_WINNT4 != 0.  Thanks to Paul Motuzenko
          <p_motuzenko@hotmail.com> for reporting this.

Sun May 03 01:58:47 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.1 released.

Sat May  2 14:35:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp: Factored out some common code to
          make the test more concise.

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp: Modified the test to check
          whether our new mechanism for disabling the notify pipe works
          correctly.

        * ace/{WFMO,Select}_Reactor[_Impl]: Added the
          "disable_notify_pipe" flag in the constructor in order to
          disable this feature and save on descriptors if they aren't
          required.  Thanks to Tom Venturella <tventurell@mdc.com> for
          motivating this.

Sat May 02  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Included this test program for
        testing a platform for Asynchronous I/O options.
        * tests/Makefile (BIN): Added Aio_Platform_Test.

Fri May 01 17:52:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.{h,cpp}: Added macros ACE_Export and
          ACE_BUILD_DLL respectively.

        * ace/ACE_Library.mak:
        * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Added Arg_Shifter.cpp into project.

Fri May  1 13:52:32 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Addr: Made the destructor for ACE_Addr virtual so that
          subclasses can be deleted correctly.  Thanks to Wei Chiang
          <chiang@horizon.ntc.nokia.com> for reporting this.

        * ace: Added Arg_Shifter from TAO and renamed it to
          ACE_Arg_Shifter.

        * ace/IOStream_T.i (recv_n): ACE_IOStream<STREAM>::eof (void) had
          a subtle bug if it is called when a get operation (>>) has not
          failed.  Thanks to James CE Johnson <ace-users@lads.com> for
          reporting this bug.

        * examples/Connection/misc/Connection_Handler.cpp: Make sure to
          activate() each active object using THR_DETACHED so we don't run
          out of threading resources.  Thanks to Brad Walton
          <brad.walton@transnexus.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Timer_Queue_Adapters.cpp: Rather than returning the result
          of schedule_ualarm(), the
          ACE_Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter<TQ>::schedule() method should
          return the timer id.  Thanks to James Garrison
          <jhg@austx.tandem.com> for reporting this.

        * examples/System_V_IPC/SV_Message_Queues: Renamed the so-called
          "ACE_Message_Block" to "Message_Block" so it wouldn't be as
          confusing.  Thanks to Ganapathi <guns@fs.IConNet.NET> for this
          suggestion.

Fri May 01 17:52:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE_Library.mak:
        * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Added Arg_Shifter.cpp into project.

Fri May 01 14:09:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.h: Changed ACE_hrtime_t from signed to unsigned on Win32
          to insure correct results from ACE_High_Res_Timer::elapsed_time
          calculations.  Fixes bug P87.

Fri May 01 11:52:47 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Forgot to redefine ASYS_INLINE after #undef it.

        * ace/OS.i (last_error): On Win32, this should also update errno
          after calling SetLastError ().  Thanks to Steve for pointing
          this out.  Fixes bug P88.

Fri May 01 10:01:09 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: replaced config-sunos5.6-sunc++-4.x.h
          with this config file, which supports both Sun C++ and g++.

        * ace/OS.i (gethrtime): for the default (::gettimeofday) case,
          use 64-bit instead of 32-bit arithmetic by casting to ACE_hrtime_t.

        * ace/Basic_Types.{h,i}: added ACE_U_LongLong::operator *.

        * ace/Env_Value_T.cpp: added #include of Env_Value_T.h.

Fri May  1 00:35:40 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU
          (ACE_LDSO_Version_Number): Fixed the problem of not able to
          parse a formal release number from ace/VERSION.

          supposedly default inline functions.

        * ace/config-WinCE.h: Added ACE_LACKS_INLINE_FUNCTIONS.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a new macro ASYS_INLINE for platforms that don't
          support inline properly.  This is controlled by the macro
          ACE_LACKS_INLINE_FUNCTIONS.

          Walked thru all macros and indented them properly.

        * ace/README: Added documentation for ACE_LACKS_INLINE_FUNCTIONS.
