Thu Sep  2 12:21:41 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

	* ace/OS.h: Added an ACE_static_cast in the ACE_FACTORY_DEFINE macro
	  to let the compiler catch "bad casts," i.e., when X isn't allow
 	  to be cast from an ACE_Service_Object.  Thanks to Jody Hagins
 	  for suggesting this.

	* ace/config-win32-common.h: Deleted
  
          #define ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME

	  and added
  
          #define ACE_HAS_STRPTIME
	  #define ACE_LACKS_NATIVE_STRPTIME
  
          In addition, I removed the wday and yday stuff in
 	  ACE_OS::strptime().  Thanks to Kevin Lyda
 	  <kevin.lyda@trintech.com> for suggesting this.

	* ace/OS.h: Make sure to add a cast to ACE_Service_Object * in the
	  ACE_FACTORY_DEFINE macro so that the offset will be corrected
 	  automagically.  Thanks to Eric C. Newton <ecn@smart.net> for
 	  reporting this and suggesting a fix.

	* ace/Log_Msg: Modified the msg_callback(ACE_Log_Msg_Callback *)
	  method to return the existing ACE_Log_Msg_Callback * so we can
 	  support "chaining".
	
	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Added explicit template instantiations for
	  ACE_Reverse_Lock.

	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Changed the implementation described below to
	  use an ACE_Reverse_Lock, which is cool ;-).  Thanks to Carlos
 	  for explaining how this worked.
	
	* ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Don't hold the lock during a msg_callback() to
	  avoid deadlock.  Thanks to Matthew Davis
 	  <matthew.davis@solers.com> for reporting this.

	* tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp: Removed a "static" from
	  int debug so that the friggin' SunC++ compiler will link...
  
Thu Sep 02 11:04:18 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/check_build_logs: added /dev/null to egrep invocation
          so that it always shows the file name.  Thanks to Doug for
          reporting this.

Thu Sep 02 11:02:25 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-qnx-neutrino.h: added ACE_LACKS_SOCKET_BUFSIZ.

Thu Sep  2 08:56:39 1999  Jeff Parsons  <parsons@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/CDR_Stream.h:
        * ace/CDR_Stream.i:
          Added << and >> operators for ACE_CDR::Char. These are not
          to be used by TAO or the IDL compiler, they are solely for
          use with the ACE library, so that 1-byte values can be
          streamed without using the CORBAisms to_char and from_char.
          Otherwise, if a 1-byte value were on the rhs of a CDR operator,
          the compiler will probably promote the operator to the one
          using ACE_CDR::Short, which is not at all what we want.

Wed Sep  1 21:37:59 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Makefile (BIN): Added the new CDR_File_Test.cpp to
          the list of files that are automatically built.  Also, added
          this to run_tests.lst.

        * tests: Added a new test called CDR_File_Test, which
          exercises the ACE_CDR_Stream features in conjunction with file
          I/O.  Thanks to Giga Giguashvili <gregoryg@ParadigmGeo.com>.

        * tests/CDR_Test.cpp: Moved the main() function to the end
          of the file.

        * ace/OS.i: Moved the new ACE_OS::filesize() method down in
          this file until *after* the ACE_OS::close() method to prevent a
          "used before being inlined" error on DU.  Thanks to David for
          reporting this.

Wed Sep  1 20:41:03 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.lst:
          Disabled the Time_Service_Test, it was crashing the parent
          process.

Wed Sep 01 19:46:30 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/check_build_logs: allow log directory (-l option argument)
          to start with anything except -.

Wed Sep  1 17:15:25 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.cpp (get_current_parameter): Removed egcs
          warnings by making <difference> int and also cleaned up the
          code.

Wed Sep  1 15:51:41 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Timer_Queue/Thread_Timer_Queue_Test.cpp: Fixed a typo
          where ACE_reinterpret_cast() was misspelled.  Thanks to
          David for reporting this.

        * examples/QOS/server.cpp: "ACE"-ified this example.

        * ace/OS: Added a new method called ACE_OS::filesize() that
          takes a LPCTSTR so that we can pass a file name to this.

        * ace/config-win32-borland.h: Changed ACE_CC_COMPILER to
          CPP32.EXE on the recommendation of Christopher Kohlhoff
          <chris@kohlhoff.com>.

        * ace/Synch.h: Updated the documentation of ACE_Semaphore::remove()
          to clarify that it should only be called by one thread to avoid
          race conditions.  Thanks to Clarence Bishop
          <clarence.bishop@na.marconicomms.com> for mentioning this.

1999-09-01  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE_wrappers/ace/OS.h:
        * ACE_wrappers/ace/OS.i:
          Added a wrapper ACE_OS::enum_protocols () for WSAEnumProtocols().
          Tested this function with the ACE QOS test.

        * examples/QOS/client.cpp:
        * examples/QOS/server.cpp:
          Replaced the occurences of WSAEnumProtocols with
          ACE_OS::enum_protocols () and successfully ran the QOS test.

Wed Sep  1 15:51:41 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i: Ensure that ACE_OS::localtime_r() does the "Right
          Thing"[TM], i.e., returns the pointer in the buffer provided by
          the user, even if there's no native support for localtime_r() on
          the OS platform.  In addition, added an ACE_OS_GUARD for this
          use-case so that we don't have race conditions in MT programs.
          This necessitated moving the localtime_r() wrapper facade into
          the OS.cpp file.  Thanks to Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com> for
          these suggestions.

        * ace/SV_Semaphore_Complex: Improved the documentation a bit
          based on comments from Herbert <herbert@shym.com>.

Wed Sep  1 15:15:00 1999  Luther Baker  <ljb1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.h: Added function (get_current_parameter(offset)
          to return parameters that may be mangled with flags.

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.cpp: Implemented function above.

Wed Sep  1 14:50:48 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added definitions for _O_BINARY, _O_TEXT, and _O_RAW
          if they are not defined.   Thanks to Kevin Lyda
          <kevin.lyda@trintech.com> for pointing this out.

Wed Sep  1 14:30:58 1999  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: Typo fixed.

Wed Sep  1 11:18:26 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp: Fixed an erroneous use of =
          rather than != and added another pair of explicit template
          instantiations for ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr<>.  Thanks to Carlos for
          reporting this.

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp (handle_close): Removed a warning
          about unused parameter.  Thanks to David for reporting this.

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp: I needed to add

          #elif defined (ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION_PRAGMA)

          rather than

          #else

Wed Sep 01 11:55:31 1999  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/CORBA_Handler.{h cpp} (ACE_ST_CORBA_Handler): Made the
          ACE_ST_CORBA_Handler instance get cleaned up via object manager
          at rundown, giving it a chance to clean up it's reactor
          registrations and reset its Orbix callbacks.  Also added a new
          capability of allowing the ACE_ST_CORBA_Handler to daisy-chain
          the Orbix callbacks - this is only enabled if
          ACE_TAKEOVER_ORBIX_CALLBACKS is set in the config.h file, and
          its use is highly discouraged unless you really know what you're
          doing and can account for all of the callbacks.

Wed Sep  1 11:18:26 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

          Thanks to David for reporting this.

        * tests/run_tests.lst: Disabled the Process_Manager_Test
          until it's stable.  Thanks to David for reporting this.

Wed Sep  1 00:05:04 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-borland.h: Added a #define for ACE_CC_COMPILER
          so that things will work properly on Borland.  Thanks to
          Goldshtain Dmitry <goldshtain.dmitry@usa.net> and Adrian
          Mercieca <adrian@anvil.co.uk> for reporting this.

Wed Sep 01 10:45:15 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp} (ACE_OS_Object_Manager::init,fini): replaced
          use of ACE_ERROR with a new, private method (print_error_message).
          If one of the operations in init () fails, then the Log_Msg
          instance might not work properly.  Thanks to Alain Magloire
          <alain@qnx.com> for noting this.

          print_error_message also consolidates the common const char
          strings into one place.  This entire changes reduces the size
          of OS.o by about 900 bytes.

Wed Sep  1 00:05:04 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp: Only run the iterations in
          this test for 2000 times, not 10000 times.

Wed Sep  1 07:41:58 1999  Jeff Parsons  <parsons@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp (wait):
          An ACE_NEW_RETURN needed ACE_INVALID_PID for the return
          value instead of ACE_INVALID_HANDLE.

Wed Sep  1 00:05:04 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Made some minor changes in
          this test so that it'll compile.  We still need to update it so
          it'll run correctly with the new version of ACE_Process_Manager,
          however.

        * ace/Process_Manager: Integrated the latest and greatest
          ACE_Process_Manager from Dave Madden <dhm@mersenne.com>.  This
          should now work relatively transparently on all OS platforms
          that support processes.  We'll be adding a new
          Process_Manager_Test.cpp shortly...

        * tests/Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp: Modified this test to exercise
          the new user-level notification queueing in the ACE_Reactor.

Tue Aug 31 16:05:14 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp (handle_close): Added an ACE_UNUSED_ARG
          to keep the compiler from warning that the "handle" parameter
          isn't used.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a new #defined called
          ACE_REACTOR_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_SIZE that designates the size of
          the array of ACE_Notification_Buffers used by the new Reactor
          user-level notification queue feature.

        * ace/Select_Reactor_Base: Added support for a user-level
          notification queue that can buffer very large amounts of pending
          notifications, i.e., well beyond the 64 kbyte limit imposed by
          the use of a socket.  This feature is only enabled if
          ACE_HAS_REACTOR_NOTIFICATION_QUEUE is enabled in a config.h
          file.  Thanks to Detlef Becker <Detlef.Becker@med.siemens.de>
          for suggesting this and contributing a prototype implementation.

Tue Aug 31 20:10:49 1999  Yamuna Krishnamurthy  <yamuna@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added the ACE_HAS_NO_THROW_SPEC check in order to
          suppress the generation of throw specs to placate some compilers
          and make it easier for CORBA developers to by lazy wrt C++
          exception throw specs ;-).  Thank to Andreas Geisler
          <Andreas.Geisler@erls.siemens.de> for suggesting this addition

1999-08-31  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@cs.wustl.edu>

          Modified the ACE GQoS test to use a single handler registered
          for QOS_MASK|READ_MASK instead of two separate handlers. Had to
          remove the following files and add other files.

        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QOS_Event_Handler.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Read_Handler.h
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QOS_Event_Handler.h
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Read_Handler.cpp

          Added the following files :

          The Sender event handler is only registered for QOS events. It
          uses the ACE_OS::sendto () as soon as it receives a QOS event.

        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Sender_QOS_Event_Handler.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Sender_QOS_Event_Handler.h

          The Receiver event handler is registered for both QOS as well as
          READ events since it has to initially wait for a PATH RSVP
          message from the sender (QOS event, finally!!) and then read
          from the same QOS enabled socket.

        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Receiver_QOS_Event_Handler.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Receiver_QOS_Event_Handler.cpp

          The client and server have been modified to subscribe to the
          same multicast session. The RSVP SP on the receiver side sends
          RESV messages at the earliest indication of QOS parameters AND
          existence of a matching PATH state. This state is found only if
          a multicast socket has been created (by the sender) with a
          matching "multicast session" address.

        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/server.cpp:
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/client.cpp:

          Modified the following to incorporate the removal and addition
          of files listed above.

        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QOS.dsw
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/client.dsp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/server.dsp

Tue Aug 31 16:05:14 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc_T,
        * ace/Malloc: For historical reasons, we'd had a nested class
          called ACE_Malloc_Control_Block within ACE_Malloc_Header.  This
          was redundant and confusing, so I merged the fields of
          ACE_Malloc_Control_Block into ACE_Malloc_Header.  In addition, I
          also added a constructor that initialized the fields to 0 so
          that we won't have problems with Purify complaining about
          uninitialized memory reads.  Thanks to Carlos for reporting
          this.

Tue Aug 31 15:54:56 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.h: There was a bizarre default value
          for the pid parameter, which was helping to cause ambiguity
          warnings from the C++ compiler.  I've removed this.

Tue Aug 31 00:16:34 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * build/egcs/tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.h: Moved the template
          class into the header file so that IBM C++ will be happy.

        * tests/Cached_*_Test.h: Updated these files to include the proper
          descriptive information.

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.h: Cleaned up the formatting for this
          test.

        * tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp,
        * tests/Cached_Conn_Test.cpp,
        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp,
        * tests/DLList_Test.cpp,
        * tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
          Fixed some "order of definition" problems caused by the
          workarounds for SunC++ 5.0 -g bugs.  Also replaced the use of
          ADDR and STRING with ACE_ADDR and ACE_STRING to avoid potential
          clashes with symbols in the global name space.  Thanks to David
          for reporting this.

1999-08-31  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/server.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/client.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QOS_Event_Handler.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QosEvent.h
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Read_Handler.h
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QOS_Event_Handler.h
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/Read_Handler.cpp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/QOS.dsw
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/client.dsp
        * ACE_wrappers/examples/QOS/server.dsp:
          These files test the new ACE GQoS features, which
          implement IntServ features over WinNT 2000.

Tue Aug 31 14:47:54 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added a note on building egcs with the
          -fsquangle option contributed by Skye Sweeney
          <ssweeney@sanders.com>.

Tue Aug 31 00:16:34 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/clone.cpp: Modified this program so that it'll work more
          flexibly with symbolic links.  In particular, clone can now
          generate symbolic links with relative pathnames to the source.
          Thus, you can now call it like this:

          % clone -s ../../foo .

          and all of the cloned links will properly refer to ../../foo
          (adding the appropriate number of extra '..'s to handle
          directory nesting).  Thanks to Jonathan Biggar <jon@biggar.org>
          for these fixes.

        * ace/Process.cpp: Need to #include "ace/Signal.h".

        * Added a series of fixes that allow ACE to build and
          run cleanly with SunC++ 5.0 and Solaris 7 even when debugging is
          NOT enabled.  These changes require moving the explicit template
          instantiations from the BOTTOM of the *.cpp files to near the
          top.  Thanks to Robert Shewan <rshew@peri.com> for reporting
          this.

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: Fixed some warnings.  Thanks to
          Carlos for reporting this.

Mon Aug 30 21:14:46 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: Added the destructor for
          ACE_Process_Descriptor.  Thanks to David for reporting this.

Mon Aug 30 17:20:56 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-qnx-neutrino.h: added ACE_LACKS_MUTEXATTR_PSHARED.

        * ace/OS.i (mutex_init): enable the ACE_UNUSED_ARG (type)
          statement with ACE_LACKS_MUTEXATTR_PSHARED.

Mon Aug 30 17:10:00 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added a note about the "-fsquangle" option
          to be used with egcs to shorten long symbol names.

Mon Aug 30 16:12:36 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.i: Oops, the implementation of gethandle() was
          in a Win32-specific part of the code...

        * ace/Msg_WFMO_Reactor.h: Fixed a problem that was causing
          ACE_Msg_WFMO_Reactor from being included in the documentation
          windex files.  Thanks to Jody Hagins for reporting this.

Mon Aug 30 16:16:46 1999  Ossama Othman  <othman@cs.wustl.edu>

        * PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM:

          Updated to point to refer reports ace-bugs mailing list.

Mon Aug 30 14:27:26 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp,Cached_Conn_Test.cpp,
          Map_Manager.cpp:
          use the explicit template instantiations even with
          ACE_HAS_GNU_REPO.  g++ 2.91.66 misses some of them with -frepo.

Mon Aug 30 15:23:12 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager: Integrated the new features that make it
          possible to notify a Reactor when a process exits.  Thanks to
          Dave Madden <dhm@mersenne.com> for contributing this.

        * ace/Process: Added a more portable timed wait() operation for
          UNIX platforms.  However, this method has the following two
          limitations: (1) on UNIX platforms this function uses <ualarm>,
          i.e., it overwrites any existing alarm and (2) it steals all
          SIGCHLDs during the timeout period, which will break another
          ACE_Process_Manager in the same process that's expecting SIGCHLD
          to kick off process reaping.  If you know a good solution to
          this please let us know.  Thanks to Dave Madden
          <dhm@mersenne.com> for contributing this.

        * ace/Process: Added setgroup() and getgroup() methods to
          ACE_Process_Options so that we can manage groups of processes.
          Thanks to Dave Madden <dhm@mersenne.com> for contributing this.

        * examples/OS/Process/process.cpp: Added a new version that
          tests the various wait() methods on ACE_Process.  Thanks to Dave
          Madden <dhm@mersenne.com> for contributing this.

        * config-chorus.h,

          Added ACE_LACKS_SETPGID on the assumption that platforms lacking
          getpgid() won't have setpgid() either.  If this turns out to be
          incorrect, please let me know.

        * ace/OS: Added a new wrapper facade method for setpgid().  Thanks to
          Dave Madden <dhm@mersenne.com> for contributing this.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a new macro called ACE_INVALID_PID.  Thanks to
          Dave Madden <dhm@mersenne.com> for contributing this.

        * ace/Local_Tokens.h: Added a comment explaining that these locking
          classes aren't intended as general-purpose synchronization
          mechanisms.  Thanks to Brian Wright <bwright@paladyne.com>

        * examples/Misc/test_trace.cpp (main): Added a call to
          ACE_OS::atexit() to make sure we test this someplace.

Mon Aug 30 12:11:06 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies.i:
          Once a Recyclable object reaches the ACE_RECYCLABLE_CLOSED state
          its state cannot change. This eliminates a nasty race condition
          where one thread detects that the connection is closed (and sets
          the state accordingly), but another thread changes the state to
          IDLE, based on old information.
          Thanks to Mark L Boriack <mboriack@std.saic.com> for reporting
          this problem and helping us debug it.

Mon Aug 30 10:43:08 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-common.h:
          Added ACE_HAS_SIGSUSPEND and ACE_HAS_TIMEDWAIT

Mon Aug 30 10:18:52 1999  Ossama Othman  <othman@cs.wustl.edu>

        * PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM:

          Fixed typo.

        * acconfig.h:
        * configure.in:

          Removed ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT test since the macro no longer exists.

          Added test for ACE_HAS_SIGSUSPEND.

Mon Aug 30 07:38:11 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Message_Block_Test.cpp,
          examples/Reactor/Misc/test_event_handler_t.cpp:
          use the explicit template instantiations even with
          ACE_HAS_GNU_REPO.  g++ 2.91.66 misses some of them with -frepo.

Sun Aug 29 22:57:26 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Signal_Test.cpp (worker_parent): Revised the test
          so that we transmit the parent process ID in argv so that the
          child doesn't have to "guess."  This solves the annoying
          problems with Linux threads...

Sun Aug 29 21:35:17 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-g++-common.h:
          1) Don't #define ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATION with
          ACE_HAS_GNU_REPO, so that -frepo can do its thing. [Bug 248]
          2) #undef ACE_HAS_STRING_CLASS with ACE_HAS_GNU_REPO, because
          egcs 2.91.66 can't build IOStream test (due to an unresolved
          basic_string method instantiation) otherwise.

        * ace/config-aix-4.x.h,ace/config-cygwin32-common.h,
          ace/config-hpux-10.x-g++.h,ace/config-irix5.3-g++.h,

          ace/config-sunos5.4-g++.h,ace/config-sunos5.5.h,
          ace/config-unixware-2.*-g++.h:
          moved ACE_HAS_STRING_CLASS #define before #include of
          config-g++common.h, so that config-g++-common.h can #undef
          it with ACE_HAS_GNU_REPO.

        * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: when ace_lib_prelink is
          enabled, add a link step before building a library.  This is
          used, for example, to insert template instantiations into
          object files. [Bug 248]

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: set ace_lib_prelink
          to 1 when repo is enabled.  Added ACE_NUL and ACE_NUL_STDERR
          macros, for internal use to support the prelink step. [Bug 248]

Sun Aug 29 07:53:33 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Signal_Test.cpp: Linux threads are problematic because
          getppid() isn't the process id of your parent PROCESS, it's the
          "process" id of your parent THREAD.  Yikes!  Therefore, I had to
          rearrange this test so that it'll work on Linux.

        * ace/config-qnx-neutrino.h,
        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h,
        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h,
        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h,
        * ace/config-linux-common.h: Added support for
          the ACE_HAS_SIGTIMEDWAIT and ACE_HAS_SIGSUSPEND macros.

        * ace/OS: Added a new sigsuspend() wrapper to class ACE_OS.  This
          implementation is "smarter" than the default behavior of
          sigsuspend(2) because it'll handle NULL sigset_t *'s gracefully.

        * ace/Signal: Make the use of ACE_Sig_Set & parameters
          const-correct.

        * ace/Signal: Added a new method for ACE_Sig_Action that'll register
          an ACE_Sig_Set's worth of signals simultaneously.

        * ace/Signal: Updated the documentation to explain what the various
          constructors do.

        * ace/Process.h: Updated the documentation for ACE_Process::spawn()
          to explain what the return values are.

        * tests/Makefile: Added Signal_Test to the list of tests that are
          built automatically.

        * tests: Added a new test, Signal_Test.cpp, that exercises the
          various signal handling capabilities supported by ACE on various
          OS platforms.

        * ace/OS.h,
        * ace/README,
        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h:
          Removed all mention of the ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT feature.  This is
          now the default behavior because we ACE_OS_Object_Manager::at_exit()
          to get consistent semantics, as described below.  Thanks to David
          for pointing this out.

        * ace/OS.i: Changed the implementation of ACE_OS::atexit() to always
          use the ACE_OS_Object_Manager::instance ()->at_exit() method so
          that we get consistent semantics across platforms.

Sun Aug 29 18:27:38 1999  Ossama Othman  <othman@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE.ifnames:
        * ace-diff-config.in:

          Removed ace-diff-config.in and ACE.ifnames from the repository.
          They are only used for internal ACE Configuration Project
          testing.

        * Makefile.am:
        * configure.in:

          Removed references to ace-diff-config.in and ACE.ifnames.

        * acconfig.h:
        * configure.in:

          Added entries and tests for the following macros:

            ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET
            ACE_HAS_LLSEEK
            ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_KEYWORD
            ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD
            ACE_HAS_STD_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION
            ACE_HAS_STD_TEMPLATE_METHOD_SPECIALIZATION
            ACE_HAS_SIGTIMEDWAIT
            ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT
            ACE_LACKS_GETPPID

        * configure.in:

          Fixed auto_ptr test.  auto_ptr was being used incorrectly.

Sun Aug 29 07:53:33 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Changed the names of the signal
          handlers to one_child_synchronous_signal_handler() and
          multiple_children_synchronous_signal_handler() to reflect how
          they are used.

        * ace/OS.[hi]: Added a new wrapper for sigtimedwait() so that
          we can encapsulate this.  To make programming more consistent,
          the encapsulation uses an ACE_Time_Value, rather than a struct
          timespec.

        * ace/config-linux-pthread.h,
        * ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h: Removed the

          #define ACE_HAS_SIGWAIT

          macro since this was already defined in config-linux-common.h.

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Improved the test by printing out
          additional diagnostic information.  Also validated that it works
          when ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR == 0 on Solaris using SunCC (with
          purify) and EGCS.

        * ace/Malloc: Added a dump() method to ACE_Malloc_Header.

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp (ACE_Process_Descriptor): Changed
          a -1 to a 0 to prevent a compiler warning.  Thanks to
          David Levine and DEC UNIX for reporting this.

Sun Aug 29 00:14:09 1999  Luther Baker  <ljb1@cs.wustle.edu>

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.h (cur_arg_strncasecmp): Removed and replaced earlier
          method 'is_or_contains_ignore_case' with 'cur_arg_strncasecmp.'
          This method does less and it is more self-contained, adding protection
          and greater flexibility for the program program using it.

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.cpp (cur_arg_strncasecmp): Implementation
          corresponding with changes in ACE_Arg_Shifter class.

Sun Aug 29 00:13:35 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.i: Moved the destructor for
          ACE_Process_Descriptor out of the *.i file since it's always
          called by vector delete and therefore inlining it is pointless.

Sat Aug 28 23:46:55 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp (resize): The loop should run
          from 0 < this->current_count_ rather than 0 <
          this->max_process_table_size_.

Sat Aug 28 16:28:33 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.i: reordered some methods to avoid
          use before definition.

Fri Aug 27 18:52:00 1999  Luther Baker  <ljb1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.h (is_or_contains_ignore_case): added method
          to facilitate CORBA spec in ORB_init.

        * ace/Arg_Shifter.cpp (is_or_contains_ignore_case): implemented
          the method added. Part of a larger project to implement CORBA
          spec regarding -ORB parsing in ORB_init.

Fri Aug 27 18:58:50 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.lst: Reenabled the Process_Manager_Test since
          it now seems to work fine with EGCS after the fix noted below.

Fri Aug 27 18:39:14 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp (wait): Fixed a mistake in the coding
          logic whereby we were returning from the function in a loop even
          when there was no error.  Thanks to David Levine and DEC UNIX
          for pointing this out.

Fri Aug 27 16:05:49 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.*,Log_Msg.cpp,Synch_T.i: reverted changes of
          Fri Aug 27 11:29:21 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
          to see if they caused problems on NT.  Thanks to Michael
          and Jeff for reporting this.

Fri Aug 27 12:01:37 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (mktime): added static cast of -1 return value
          to time_t to avoid warnings on VxWorks.

Fri Aug 27 11:38:36 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (process_directives): Remember to close
          down the svc.conf file pointers once they are processed.  Thanks
          to Lothar Werzinger <werzinger.lothar@krones.de> for pointing
          this out.

Fri Aug 27 11:29:21 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.*: moved ACE_OS_Recursive_Thread_Mutex_Guard from
          OS.cpp to OS.h so that Log_Msg.cpp can use it.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: replaced use of ACE_Guards with
          ACE_OS_Thread_Recursive_Mutex. [Bug 262]

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS_Recursive_Thread_Mutex_Guard::lock):
          added this method.

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_OS_GUARD,ACE_TSS_CLEANUP_GUARD,
          ACE_TSS_BASE_GUARD): fixed to use
          ACE_OS_Recursive_Thread_Mutex_Guard::lock.  Added
          _RETURN versions.

        * ace/Synch_T.i: reordered some methods to avoid
          use before definition.

Fri Aug 27 09:53:09 1999  Joe Hoffert  <joeh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ATM_Stream.{h,cpp}: added get_vpi_vci method.
        * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/CPP-{client,server}.cpp: Changed tests to
          print out VPI and VCI after connected.

Fri Aug 27 10:50:10 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 5.0.3 released.

Fri Aug 27 09:32:26 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: added some diagnostics to see why
          diffs aren't being created.

Fri Aug 27 07:17:58 1999  Toshio Hori  <toshi@etl.go.jp>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: fixed a typo, missing ; after
          &lt and &gt.

Thu Aug 26 21:01:02 1999  Jim Rucker  <James.D.Rucker@jpl.nasa.gov>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (spawn_i): on VxWorks, if t_handle
          is non-0, set it with thr_handle.

Thu Aug 26 16:33:42 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: removed unnecessary #include "ace/Synch_T.h".
          [Bug 262]

Thu Aug 26 13:49:00 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Threads/Makefile: removed process_manager from BIN.
          See Sat Aug 21 12:36:40 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt.

Thu Aug 26 12:22:55 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-ghs-common.h: on Sun, added
          ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.  It's necessary
          to prevent seg fault on startup.  Thanks to
          David Sunwall <das@planet8.tds-eagan.lmco.com> for
          reporting this problem.

Thu Aug 26 12:11:09 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added guidelines to avoid
          default arguments, and favor narrow interfaces.

Thu Aug 26 11:44:26 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp (main): added static casts
          of the doubles to longs.  g++ 2.7.2.3 warned about
          passing a double to a long :-)

Thu Aug 26 11:20:55 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp (main): added a test showing
          that ACE_Time_Value (2.5) == ACE_Time_Value (2).
          The 2.5 gets coerced to a long with value 2.  Beware . . .

Thu Aug 26 10:43:04 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h:
          egcs-2.95 under Solaris 5.6 does not need
          ACE_HAS_STL_QUEUE_CONFLICT, thanks to Krishnakumar
          B. <kitty@neo.shinko.co.jp> for reporting this problem.
          This fixes [BUGID:264]

Thu Aug 26 07:29:42 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i} (ACE_Time_Value): reverted
          Wed Aug 25 22:05:54 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>
          change.  It caused overload ambiguity when the types of
          sec and usec didn't match, and on Sun CC 4.2/SunOS 5.6.
          Thanks to Andy for reporting that.

Wed Aug 25 22:05:54 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i} (ACE_Time_Value): added four new
          constructors.  One takes a double, to avoid surprises
          (truncation) when constructing an ACE_Time_Value from
          a double.  The other three constructors take two
          unsigned longs, ints, and unsigned ints.  They avoid
          the ambiguity introduced by the new double constructor.
          Thanks to Dave Meyer <dmeyer@std.saic.com> for starting this :-)

          The double constructor is wrapped with
          #ifndef ACE_LACKS_FLOATING_POINT.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp (main): removed cast of
          2.0 to long.

Wed Aug 25 16:15:07 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-subsets.html: removed spurious LOGGING_FILES
          text.

Wed Aug 25 15:55:05 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.*,Signal.i (default_mask): moved
          the default_mask () static method from ACE_Object_Manager
          to ACE_OS_Object_Manager, so that it can be used by
          Log_Msg.cpp without layer inversion.  (Left a deprecated,
          inline ACE_Object_Manager::default_mask (), for backward
          compatibility.)  default_mask () now returns a sigset_t *
          instead of an ACE_Sig_Set *, again to avoid layer inversion.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): replaced use of ACE_Sig_Guard
          with a bare-bones ACE_Log_Msg_Sig_Guard. [Bug 262]

Wed Aug 25 14:53:58 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/run_all.pl:
        * bin/auto_compile:
          The script did not start with the canonical trick to run perl
          from [t]csh, [ba]sh or perl itself.

Wed Aug 25 14:45:06 1999  Ossama Othman  <othman@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp:

          Explicitly include "ace/Signal.h" to make declaration of
          ACE_Sig_Set class visible.

          return statement at end of multiple_children_sig_handler()
          function is never reached.  It was commented out to prevent
          compiler warnings.

Wed Aug 25 13:34:07 1999  Narendra Ravi  <naren@cs.ualberta.ca>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added information about -j GNU make option.

Wed Aug 25 12:26:49 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
          On Borland C++ (and other platforms) we should use
          std::bad_alloc instead of bad_alloc for the ACE_bad_alloc
          exception.  We use the ACE_USES_STD_NAMESPACE_FOR_STDCPP_LIB
          macro to detect this. Thanks to Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com>
          for this fix.

        * tests/run_tests.lst:
          Disabled the Token test, it is more trouble that it is worth. It
          hangs and tends to freeze the complete testsuite.

Wed Aug 25 12:09:32 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile:
          Include (conditionally) the $TAO_ROOT/tao/tao_targets.GNU file,
          that defines the targets required to compile just TAO.

Tue Aug 24 21:47:44 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_Options.{h,cpp} (timeout): added const to
          ACE_Time_Value & argument, because it's not modified.
          Thanks to John Lindal <jafl@cco.caltech.edu> for suggesting this.

Tue Aug 24 10:02:51 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Fixed a number of warnings
          caused by unused args and signed/unsigned mismatches.  Thanks to
          David Levine for reporting this.

        * ace/Service_Repository.h,
          ace/Service_Config.h,
          ace/OS.h:
          Changed the default number of entries in the
          ACE_Service_Repository from ACE_DEFAULT_SELECT_REACTOR_SIZE
          to ACE_DEFAULT_SERVICE_REPOSITORY_SIZE, which defaults to
          1024.  Thanks to Ivan Murthy <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de> for
          suggesting this.


Tue Aug 24 16:23:07 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release:
          Use an explicit temporary file to create the ChangeLog, i had
          some problems with the previous scheme, but it could be my
          shell.
          When tagging TAO we have to change directories.

Tue Aug 24 12:19:29 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Makefile:
          Updated dependencies

        * performance-tests/TCP/tcp_test.cpp:
          Fixed argument parsing.

Tue Aug 24 10:37:02 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/cvslog (find_changelogs): one more time: append /$file
          to `pwd`, so that we can find ChangeLogs in child directories.
          Always call basename (), again.

Tue Aug 24 09:10:58 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/cvslog (find_changelogs): don't call basename () immediately
          after calling `pwd`, so that ChangeLogs in current directory
          will be found.

Tue Aug 24 07:11:52 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.*,Object_Manager.{h,cpp},README: with ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT,
          use ACE_OS_Object_Manager::at_exit () to emulate atexit ().
          [Bug 246]

        * tests/Object_Manager_Test.cpp,tests/Makefile,
          tests/run_pharlap_tests.bat,tests/run_tests.bat,
          tests/run_tests.lst,tests/run_tests.psosim,
          tests/run_tests.vxworks,tests/t.icc,tests/icc.bat:
          added Object_Manager_Test.

Mon Aug 23 22:03:24 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU:
        * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU:
          When compiling both shared and static libraries only one of them
          was installed. Thanks to Paul Calabrese <calabrese_p@ociweb.com>
          for providing this fix.

Mon Aug 23 21:41:43 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.pl:
          We search for "Starting" instead of "starting" because that's
          what the tests print out now.

Mon Aug 23 21:20:28 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html:
          Added new guidelines relevant to ACE+TAO.

Mon Aug 23 16:57:13 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/RPC/README:
        * performance-tests/RPC/client.cpp:
          Changed the options to make it more consistent with other tests
          like this one.
          Added a README file

Mon Aug 23 16:53:00 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Makefile:
        * performance-tests/TCP/README:
          Added a README file for the test

        * performance-tests/TCP/tcp_test.cpp:
          Added options to pace the events and to control the message size
          on the server side.

        * performance-tests/RPC/Makefile:
        * performance-tests/RPC/client.cpp:
        * performance-tests/RPC/ping.x:
        * performance-tests/RPC/server.c:
          Added a simple RPC test to compare sockets (ACE), RPC and TAO.

Mon Aug 23 13:30:32 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_kcc.GNU: The optimization
          flag for KCC should be +K3, not -K2.

Mon Aug 23 10:56:40 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/cvslog: added this wrapper around cvs log.  It
          expands ChangeLogTags to their ChangeLog entries.
          Thanks to Luther for helping greatly with it.

Mon Aug 23 08:46:37 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: replaced the use of
          ACE_Unbounded_Queue<ACE_Cleanup_Info> with a new
          ACE_Cleanup_Info_Node private helper class.  The reduces
          the size of libACE by over 4 Kb, and is the first step
          towards moving the Object_Manager's atexit () support to
          OS. [Bug 246]

Mon Aug 23 07:28:02 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.check: changed "starting" to "Starting",
          to match a recent change to test_config.h.

        * tests/test_config.h: changed one remaining "starting" to
          "Starting", to be consistent.

Mon Aug 23 07:08:17 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.lst: disabled Process_Manager_Test,
          because it never terminates when built with egcs
          on both Solaris 7 and Linux.

Sun Aug 22 21:15:13 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile: with Green Hills for x86 target, use
          $(MAKE) instead of make to build .obj/gethrtime.o.
          Thanks to Cliff_H_Campbell <Cliff_H_Campbell@res.raytheon.com>
          for reporting this.

Sun Aug 22 21:02:26 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT.

Sun Aug 22 21:01:18 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/README: added ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT.

Sun Aug 22 14:51:56 1999  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (join_leaf): Constructed a winsock2 QOS structure
          within ACE_OS::join_leaf () from the corresponding ACE QOS
          classes. Passed this QOS structure to WSAJoinLeaf ().

Sun Aug 22 12:18:42 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.i (wait): Fixed a typo.

        * ace/Process.cpp (ACE_Process): Removed an extra underscore.

        * ace/OS.i (getppid): Removed undefined variable <pid>.

Sat Aug 21 12:36:40 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the ACE_OS::set_exit_hook() static method
          into the OS.i file so be more consistent with the other ACE_OS
          methods.  Also, changed the signature of extern "C" void
          ACE_OS_Object_Manager_Internal_Exit_Hook () to void
          ACE_OS_Object_Manager_Internal_Exit_Hook (void) so that this
          will match the type declaration for ACE_EXIT_HOOK.

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: Use the new ACE_OS::wait() method,
          which is portable to Win32, rather than ACE_OS::waitpid().

        * tests/Process_Manager_Test.cpp: Completed the first major
          enhancement to the test that exercises the new
          ACE_Process_Manager features.  This test builds and runs cleanly
          on Solaris using CC and should run on other versions of UNIX
          that support threads and processes.  It would be great if
          someone could improve it to run on Win32, as well.

        * ace/Process_Manager: Added support for the spawn_n() method,
          which creates N new processes.

        * tests: Cleaned up the use of ACE_INIT_LOG/ACE_APPEND_LOG in
          Process_Manager_Test.cpp and Malloc_Test.cpp so we don't lose
          information.  Both these tests now write their child processes'
          output to "<testname>-child.log".

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h: Added a default value of 0 to the
          exit() method since this is a common return status.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_LACKS_GETPPID.

        * ace: Added a new wrapper for getppid().  For platforms that
          don't support this system call, please add ACE_LACKS_GETPPID.

        * tests: Moved the $ACE_ROOT/examples/Threads/process_manager.cpp
          example into the $ACE_ROOT/tests directory, renamed it to
          Process_Manager_Test.cpp, and revised the test to illustrate the
          new ACE_Process_Manager features.

        * tests/run_tests.lst: Added the Process_Manager_Test to the
          list of tests to run.

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp (main): Added some necessary ASYS_TEXT
          macros.

        * ace/Process.i: Rather than replicate the #ifdef logic in
          ACE_OS::kill() within ACE_Process:kill(), we just forward to
          ACE_OS::kill() and let it sort this out!

        * ace/Process: Moved several of the short wait() methods from the
          *.cpp file to the *.i file and inlined them.

        * ace/Process_Manager.cpp: The logic for the implementation of
          terminate() was incorrect, i.e., the process table entry should
          be removed *if* ACE::terminate_process() succeeds but *not* if
          it fails!

        * ace/OS.h: Added a new method called wait() that works portably
          on Win32 and UNIX/POSIX platforms.

        * ace/Process: Added an optional "options" parameter to the former
          "blocking" wait() method on ACE_Process.  This allows clients to
          use the WNOHANG option to avoid blocking if the child process
          hasn't exited yet.  Also changed the type of the return value to
          pid_t rather than int.  Finally, added an optional status
          pointer to the "timed" wait() method (which only works on
          Win32).

        * ace/OS.h: On platforms that do not define WNOHANG natively,
          changed #ifdef of WNOHANG to 0100 (which can be used in bitmask
          comparisons) rather than Douglas Adams favorite constant: 42.

Sat Aug 21 14:13:46 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 5.0.2 released.

Sat Aug 21 11:52:51 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile:
          Fixed small problem in the releaseall target.

        * bin/make_release:
          The shell did not like the embedded script to print the
          ChangeLog entry.

Fri Aug 20 15:40:58 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process_Manager: Added a new method called wait() that's
          just syntactic sugar for ACE_Process_Manager::reap().  Thanks to
          Dave Madden <dhm@mersenne.com> for suggesting this.

        * ace/OS: Added support for ACE_OS::atexit(), which necessitated
          changing the extern "C" signature for ACE_EXIT_HOOK to typedef
          void (*ACE_EXIT_HOOK) (void) so that this will be consistent
          with the signature expected by the ISO/ANSI C atexit() call.  At
          the moment, ACE_OS::atexit just calls ::atexit() (unless a
          platform's config.h file #defines ACE_LACKS_ATEXIT).
          Ultimately, we might want to have this hook into the
          ACE_OS_Object_Manager's at_exit() support, which may be more
          portable and reliable.

        * ace/ACE_Process_Manager.h: Made the destructor virtual so it's
          possible to subclass from this class.

        * ace/Process_Manager.h: Updated the comments on the wait()
          method to indicate that a signal handler must be used to keep
          track of the number of remaining child processes.  Thanks to
          Dave Binder <dbinder@globalmt.com> for motivating this.

Thu Aug 19 18:45:00 1999  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Auto_Ptr.h: modified ACE_AUTO_PTR_RESET macro, to pass the
          type of the pointer.  This is needed for the case where
          ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET is defined, in order to explicitly
          convert the pointer into an auto_ptr for assignment.

Thu Aug 19 17:26:50 1999  John Heitmann  <jwh1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-SSL.html: Cleaned up the auto generated errors.

Thu Aug 19 16:47:21 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added a reference to $ACE_ROOT/docs/ACE-SLL.html.

        * docs: Added a new ACE-SSL.html file that explains how to participate in the
          ACE SSL project.  Thanks to John Heitmann <jwh1@cs.wustl.edu>
          for adding this.

Thu Aug 19 15:31:58 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE): Removed the redundant trailing *
          for the defintion when ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY is defined.

Thu Aug 19 14:16:37 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.nested.GNU: added ACE_NESTED_COMMAND
          hook.  Users can set it to whatever they like (preferably in
          include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU).  One example is
          to set it to:

            ACE_NESTED_COMMAND := || break $?

          to terminate building if a build in one subdirectory fails.
          Thanks to Lothar Werzinger <werzinger.lothar@krones.de> for
          suggesting this addition.

Thu Aug 19 13:06:00 1999  Michael Kircher  <Michael.Kircher@mchp.siemens.de>

        * ace/Read_Buffer.cpp: Fixed a bug in rec_read () method
          which prohibited reading more than 1024 bytes at once.

Thu Aug 19 13:03:07 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.h (ACE): Fixed a "cut & paste" error in the comment --
          basename should have been dirname.  Thanks to Mark Hyett
          <mhyett@std.saic.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/ACE.cpp: Fixed a bug in ACE::dirname() that was causing problems
          if the pathname didn't have a delim character.  Thanks to Russ
          Noseworthy for reporting this and providing a fix.

Thu Aug 19 12:59:56 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.i:
          Moved ACE_Message_Block::replace_data_block() down in the file
          because it was using inline functions that were defined after it
          was. Thanks to David for pointing this out.

Thu Aug 19 10:53:50 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (setuid): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (uid) for VxWorks,
          pSOS, WIN32, and Chorus.  Thanks to Garry Brother
          <gmbroth@ncsc.mil> for reporting this.

Thu Aug 19 10:04:12 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: added
          trap to cause builds to fail if the exceptions flag is
          enabled.  The VxWorks libraries don't support exceptions.
          And, exceptions give the (Tornado II) compiler fits, e.g.,
          with ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/IORManipulation.cpp.  Thanks to
          Erik Johannes <ejohannes@oresis.com> for this nifty preemptive
          solution, and to Nick Sawadsky <Nick_Sawadsky@BrooksSoftware.com>
          for motivating its implementation.

Thu Aug 19 09:34:41 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.h,
        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp,
        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h,
        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp,
        * ace/Reactor_Impl.h,
        * ace/Reactor.h,
        * ace/Reactor.cpp:
          Added a pair of restart() methods that can be used to set/get
          the restart_ flag, which controls whether the handle_events()
          event loop is restarted automatically when select() is
          interrpted.  Thanks to Erik Koerber <erik.koerber@siemens.at>
          for suggesting this.

        * ace/Service_Config: Updated the failure result comment for
          open() and cleaned up the return value and errno propagation for
          open_i() when process_commandline_directives() fails.  Thanks to
          Jerry D. De Master <jdemaste@ipdinc.com> for reporting the bug
          and suggesting a fix.

        * ace/Service_Config.h: Moved the process_directives() method
          used to parse the svc.conf files out of the protected part of
          the class to the public part so that application programmers can
          call this directly to reconfigure services from the svc.conf
          files.  Thanks to John Mink <John.Mink@nl.origin-it.com> for
          suggesting this.

Wed Aug 18 22:45:24 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.h,
        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp,
        * ace/XtReactor.h,
        * ace/XtReactor.cpp,
        * ace/TkReactor.h,

        * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp:
          Changed all uses of const long to long...

Wed Aug 18 22:15:58 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh:
          It was running the DISABLED tests, thanks to David for pointing
          this out.

Wed Aug 18 21:48:52 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added Toshio Hori <lttoshi@etl.go.jp>
          suggestions (in a new section) on building just what's
          needed for TAO, and his tips for reducing disk space
          usage on Unix platforms.

Wed Aug 18 21:32:56 1999  Ossama Othman  <othman@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/usage-bugzilla.html:

          Added a simple document explaining basic usage of our
          installation of bugzilla.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html:
        * PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM:

          Updated with information about the bugzilla usage
          documentation.

Wed Aug 18 20:28:23 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/check_build_logs: check for just Stop, not [Ss]top,
          to avoid snagging top output.  Gnu make says "Stop" when
          it can't find a dependency.

Wed Aug 18 19:08:08 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Object_Manager.{h,cpp},Log_Msg.cpp:
          moved ACE_LOG_MSG_INSTANCE_LOCK from ACE_Object_Manager
          to ACE_OS_Object_Manager, so that Log_Msg.cpp needn't
          to depend on Object_Manager for it.

Wed Aug 18 18:20:11 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/SOCK_Send_Recv_Test.cpp:
          Fixed typo.

Wed Aug 18 17:58:06 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * THANKS:
        * ace/README:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-common.h:
          Added new macro (ACE_HAS_BROKEN_DGRAM_SENDV) to handle platforms
          where using sendmsg with exactly IOV_MAX elements in the iovec
          fails (normally the number of elements can be up to and
          including IOV_MAX).  Thanks to Tobin Bergen-Hill
          <tbhill@dctd.saic.com> for tracking this down.

Wed Aug 18 16:08:46 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/SOCK_Send_Recv_Test.cpp: Reformatted this test so
          that it conforms to ACE programming guidelines.

Wed Aug 18 13:49:30 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile: if ACE_COMPONENTS = FOR_TAO, don't include
          Filecache in UTILS_FILES.  TAO doesn't need Filecache.
          And, its ACE_Hash<ACE_CString> and ACE_Equal_To<ACE_CString>
          explicit template instantiations collide with those in
          ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/POA.cpp.  That precludes building
          a shared libTAO for VxWorks, for example.  And, it costs 14 Kb.
          Thanks to Erik Johannes <ejohannes@oresis.com> for helping
          to find this solution.  And reminding me to implement it :-)

Wed Aug 18 13:16:09 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: clarify that PERL_PATH must include
          the full path, including the perl.exe filename.  Thanks
          to Walter Welzel <Walter.Welzel@med.siemens.de> for
          reporting this.

Wed Aug 18 13:11:30 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
          The new methods to manipulate condition variable attributes
          were not compiling on single threaded platforms.

Wed Aug 18 13:09:36 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Makefile: don't add libDLL_Test.$(SOEXT) to BUILD
          on VxWorks.  Thanks to Walter Welzel <Walter.Welzel@med.siemens.de>
          for reporting that it did get build for VxWorks with
          shared libs enabled, but not successfully (or usefully).

Wed Aug 18 10:36:16 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Updated all references to MSVC 4.x.  We no
          longer support the compiler.  Thanks to Welzel Walter
          <Walter.Welzel@med.siemens.de> for pointing this out.

Wed Aug 18 10:42:13 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp (reset_interval): Added a constcast to
          make SunC++ 4.2 happy.  Thanks to Andy for reporting this.

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.i (reset_timer_interval): The return type
          was incorrect...  Thanks to Andy and Jeff for reporting this.

Wed Aug 18 09:47:51 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.pl:
          The disabled tests were executed anyway, thanks to David for
          pointing this out.

Wed Aug 18 09:34:46 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/FlReactor.cpp:
        * ace/XtReactor.cpp:
          Fixed typos in the code, this is only used in a few platforms,
          that's why it didn't show up before.

Tue Aug 17 20:02:55 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp: Enhanced this test to exercise
          the new reset_timer_interval() feature that Darrell added.  It
          appears to work quite well.  Also, make the test easier to
          understand by adding more structure.

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.h,
        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp,
        * ace/XtReactor.h,
        * ace/XtReactor.cpp,
        * ace/TkReactor.h,
        * ace/TkReactor.cpp,
        * ace/FlReactor.h,
        * ace/FlReactor.cpp,
        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h,
        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp,
        * ace/Reactor_Impl.h,
        * ace/Reactor.h,
        * ace/Reactor.cpp:
          Exposed the new reset_interval() method Darrell added to all the
          Timer mechanisms via a method in each of these Reactor's called
          reset_timer_interval().

        * ace/Timer_Hash_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Heap_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_List_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Queue_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp:
          Changed the return values of <reset_interval> to be (1)
          consistent (i.e., to return a value through all paths in the
          method) and (2) to return -1 on failure and 0 on success.
          Also replaced a number of C-style casts with
          ACE_reinterpret_casts.

Tue Aug 17 20:51:35 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TP_Reactor.h:
        * ace/TP_Reactor.cpp:
          The TP Reactor also experiences a performance hit if signal
          masking is enabled.  Therefore, we can now make this optional.

Tue Aug 17 19:10:00 1999  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp: Fixed typo.

        * ace/Stats.cpp: Removed some warnings showing up in MSVC when
          assigning ACE_UINT64 values to ACE_UINT32 variables.  Used
          ACE_U64_TO_U32 to remove these warnings.

        * ace/Timer_Hash_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Heap_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_List_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Queue_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.h:
        * ace/Timer_Hash_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_List_T.cpp:
        * ace/Timer_Wheel_T.cpp:
          Added a new method, <reset_interval> which can be used to
          change the interval of a timer represented by a timer_id.

Tue Aug 17 18:43:53 1999  Jeff Parsons  <parsons@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
          Added wscmp and wsncmp functions to go with the existing
          wslen and wscpy functions. These all use WChar*, so arg
          size is independent of platform. These are to be used for
          all manipulations of CORBA::WString. The two that were
          added were needed for wstring tests in Param_Test. WChar*
          versions of the other string manipulation functions will
          be added as needed.

Tue Aug 17 17:49:33 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: If (_LARGEFILE_SOURCE) || (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64)
          are enabled then #undef ACE_HAS_PROC_FS and ACE_HAS_PRUSAGE_T to
          work around problems with Solaris 7.  Thanks to Sridhara Rao
          Dasu <dasu@slac.stanford.edu> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i: Updated the readdir_r() conditional compilation so that
          it'll work when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64.  Thanks to Sridhara Rao
          Dasu <dasu@slac.stanford.edu> for reporting this.

Tue Aug 17 17:17:13 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
        * ace/OS.cpp:
          Added new data type to handle condition variable attributes
          (ACE_condattr_t).  New methods to manipulate that data type
          (ACE_OS::cond_attr_init and destroy) Add new method to create a
          condition variable from a pre-initialized attribute.

        * ace/Synch.h:
        * ace/Synch.i:
        * ace/Synch.cpp:
          Added new wrapper for the ACE_condattr_t structure.

        * ace/Token.h:
        * ace/Token.cpp:
          Use ACE_Condition_Attributes to minimize the number of memory
          allocations and locks in the critical path of the TP_Reactor.

Tue Aug 17 15:55:17 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/TCP/TCP.{dsw,dsp}:
        * performance-tests/TCP/Makefile:
        * performance-tests/TCP/tcp_test.cpp: Added the new test modified
          by Carlos and a bit further by me.  The test measures TCP
          performance of a platform.  We can also use it to test the
          performance of various reactors.

Tue Aug 17 14:52:40 1999  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32.h: Added ACE_CC_COMPILER definition for MSVC.
          ACE_CC_COMPILER is a string containing the compiler program.

Tue Aug 17 13:48:27 CDT 1999  Loren Rittle  <rittle@rsch.comm.mot.com>

        * bin/update-ace+tao.sh: Use authoritative name list instead of
          ad hoc list to update file.

Tue Aug 17 06:33:05 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task.h: Clarified the comment regarding
          open() and close() on ACE_Task_Base.  Thanks to Jeff Franks
          <Jeffrey_Franks@i-o.com> for suggesting this.

Tue Aug 17 11:56:33 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.h:
        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp:
          Added option in the constructor to disable the signal handling
          features in the select reactor. This eliminates a couple of
          kernel level locks that are not needed in all applications.

        * ace/Stats.h:
        * ace/Stats.cpp:
          Now we keep track of the iteration where the minimum and maximum
          latencies were achieved.

Tue Aug 17 06:33:05 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin: Added a new shell script called update-ace+tao.sh
          that updates the ACE/TAO source tree to the latest
          numeric-assigned version.  Thanks to Loren Rittle
          <rittle@comm.mot.com> for contributing this.

Mon Aug 16 20:09:12 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/CDR_Stream.h:
        * ace/CDR_Stream.i:
        * ace/CDR_Stream.cpp:
          Added new method to transfer the contents of one CDR stream into
          another. This is used in the implementation of the ORB to
          minimize the number of data copies, memory allocations and
          locks.

        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.i:
          Added new method to replace the Data_Block, this method returns
          the old one, letting the user decide how to deallocated the Data
          block, possibly transfering it to another Message_Block.

Mon Aug 16 15:58:12 1999  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h:
        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: Added support
          for using "compat=4" mode for Sun CC 5. To use this, do
          "make compat4=1", or equivalent. Compat 4 uses -compat=4 with
          its old iostreams, but the newer Sun CC 5 scheme of explicit
          template instantiation.

Mon Aug 16 11:59:18 1999  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): Constructed and passed a
          complete sockaddr_in to the ACE_OS::join_leaf () call. This was
          just being passed sockaddr_in.sin_addr.s_addr.

Sat Aug 14 18:01:27 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.pl:
          Fixed some output messages that were going to stdout.

Sat Aug 14 15:20:27 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (subscribe): It looks like there
          was a bug where we were passing an s_addr to ACE_OS::join_leaf()
          rather than a sockaddr *.  Fixing this also cleaned up some code
          that was #ifdef'd for UNICOS.  Thanks to Vishal for reporting
          this.

        * ace/Process.h: Added a virtual to ~ACE_Process so that it
          can be used for subclassing more readily.  Thanks to Zoran
          Ivanovic <zorani@pathcom.com> for suggesting this.

Sat Aug 14 14:11:25 1999  Everett Anderson  <eea1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Remote_Tokens.cpp (tryacquire): Fixed so that it uses
          ACE_Token_Request::TRY_ACQUIRE instead of RELEASE.

Fri Aug 13 18:55:51 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Handle_Set.h (ACE_Handle_Set): Clarified the meaning of the
          nbits_ array.  Thanks to Hao Ruan <hruan@lucent.com> for
          motivating this.

Fri Aug 13 21:18:40 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (llseek): on Linux, moved extern "C" llseek ()
          declaration out of the function.  Thanks to Tal Lev-Ami
          <tla@tici.co.il> for this fix.

Fri Aug 13 20:50:02 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (handle_events): Added a deactivation
          check for non-threaded case.  The original check was mixed with
          thread owner check and thus got disabled under single-threaded
          configurations.  Thanks to Kirthika for reporting the problem.

Fri Aug 13 13:11:16 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: moved ACE_wrappers/TAO addition to
          $release_files so that it's only done for the ACE+TAO kit.

Fri Aug 13 12:44:08 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile,bin/make_release: added support (and documentation)
          for creating kits with or without new tags, or using an old
          tag; generated man pages; installation to the public ftp/http
          site on ace; and zip files.

Fri Aug 13 07:58:12 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i},README,config-osf1-4.0.h (llseek): added
          ACE_HAS_LLSEEK support.  Thanks to Tal Lev-Ami <tla@tici.co.il>
          for providing this.

Thu Aug 12 22:05:37 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (sema_wait, rw_tryrdlock, rw_trywrlock):
          Replaced more ad hoc uses of the

          int error = 0;
          ...
          error = errno;
          ...
          errno = error;

          idiom with the ACE_Errno_Guard.

        * ace/Synch.h: Updated the comment to remind folks who would
          like to have a working ACE_Process_Condition to contact us if
          they know how to do this.  Thanks to Craig Anderson
          <chanders@timing.com> for motivating this.

        * tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp (open): Clarified the behavior
          of the code that's run when fork() is used.  Thanks to Umar
          Syyid for motivating this.

Thu Aug 12 21:30:09 1999  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU:
          added SIMNT support.

Thu Aug 12 20:54:40 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added ACE_HAS_USING_KEYWORD
          for cxx and Rational compilers. [Bug 163]

Thu Aug 12 20:47:13 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp:
          Made the <debug> and <connection_accepted> variables global
          instead of static, because otherwise Sun/CC automatic template
          instantiation cannot find them at link time.  The variables are
          used in template code that is defined and used in the same file,
          but Sun/CC does not seem to understand that.

Thu Aug 12 17:14:35 1999  Jeff Parsons  <parsons@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
          Changed typedef of WChar to ACE_UINT16. The CDR operations
          are already using write_2, read_2 and SHORT_SIZE, and
          in the process of implementing wchars and wstrings in
          IDL, it's going to be important to optimize for the
          Unicode common case.

Thu Aug 12 16:24:16 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: chdir up a level before removing the
          staging directory.  Thanks to Carlos for pointing out
          that it's necessary, because we had chdir'd into it.
          And for noticing that $build_commands got clobbered in
          create_kit ().  Obey $generate_man_pages setting.

Thu Aug 12 16:03:03 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 5.0.1 released.

Thu Aug 12 15:49:00 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile,bin/make_release: build kits in /tmp staging
          area, and copy to ace's ftp pub/ACE directory.

Thu Aug 12 11:36:46 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp:
        * ace/Future.cpp:
          Some platforms require arguments in the exception thrown from
          operator new. The standard (std::bad_alloc) does not require
          any.
          Added a new macro (ACE_throw_bad_alloc) that takes care of these
          differences, including platforms that don't throw exceptions but
          return something.

Wed Aug 11 17:00:00 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cached_Accept_Conn_Test.cpp:
          Removed run_event_loop and end_event_loop and put in
          handle_events with a flag to stop the loop. This is a bug fix
          for Bug183.

Wed Aug 11 15:49:37 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: cleaned up ACE doc tool discussion.
          Added Carlos' inlining heuristics.

Wed Aug 11 13:53:20 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32.h,config-win32-borland.h: added
          ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD.  Thanks to Jody for this request.

Wed Aug 11 13:15:26 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-g++-common.h,config-win32.h,config-win32-borland.h:
          added ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_KEYWORD
          (for egcs only, in config-g++-common.h).  Thanks to Jody Hagins
          <jody@atdesk.com> for this update.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h: added ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD.

Wed Aug 11 13:10:32 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h,README: added ACE_HAS_MUTABLE_KEYWORD support.
          Thanks to Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com> for providing it.

Wed Aug 11 12:55:23 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp:
        * ace/Future.cpp:
          The throw expressions require a constructor, not just the type,
          thanks to David for pointing this out.

Wed Aug 11 10:12:11 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h,Auto_Ptr.h,SString.h,README: added support for
          ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_KEYWORD.  Thanks to Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com>
          for suggesting this.

Wed Aug 11 10:07:36 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Record.cpp:
        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp:
        * netsvcs/lib/Token_Handler.cpp:
          Fixed several warnings and errors with gcc-2.95

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
          Add -fcheck-new to the command-line of g++ when compiling with
          exceptions disabled.  In that case new operators could return 0
          and without this option the constructor will surely be invoked
          on invalid data.

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Use LOGNAME instead of USER to get the username because it is
          more portable.

          Defined macros to shorten lengthy class names for linkers which
          couldnt grok long names (example: Sun Linker). Thanks to
          Dr.Schmidt for this cool idea.

Tue Aug 10 19:07:32 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh:
        * tests/run_tests.pl:
        * tests/run_tests.lst:
          Move the list of tests to a separate file. This file is used to
          drive both a perl version of the script and the old shell
          version.
          The new perl version is able to terminate programs that hang,
          but still has problem with processes that fork children who then
          hang for some reason. The perl script has to be ported to Win32
          too.

        * bin/run_all_list.pm:
          Use the new tests/run_tests.pl script on Unix.

        * bin/run_all.pl:
          Run all the test scripts in ACE and TAO, much like run_all_win32
          but for unix systems.

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Remember to remove the disable file in case of errors.

Tue Aug 10 18:08:30 1999  Jeff Parsons  <parsons@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/CDR_Stream.h:

          Added all the necessary stuff for wstrings.

Tue Aug 10 15:36:02 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp (main): removed unused argc
          declaration, with ACE_LACKS_FORK && ! ACE_HAS_WIN32.

Tue Aug 10 15:26:43 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (strptime): removed unreachable break after
          return statement, in default case of switch statement.

Tue Aug 10 14:46:12 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp},README: Changed support for ACE_OS::strptime ()
          to be configurable.  VxWorks, LynxOS, and Chorus, for example,
          don't have a native ::strptime ().  The current emulation cost
          2 Kb, which will be objectionable to some embedded systems
          developers.

          Replaced ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME with a combination
          ACE_HAS_STRPTIME/ACE_LACKS_NATIVE_STRPTIME.  ACE_HAS_STRPTIME
          enables ACE_OS::strptime () support.  ACE_LACKS_NATIVE_STRPTIME
          lets ACE know that there's no native ::strptime (), so it then
          uses its emulation.

          This has two advantages:  it minimizes footprint in the default
          case, and doesn't break builds on platforms that don't have
          ::strptime ().  It easily allows developers to configure ACE
          identically, with respect to strptime, on their Unix, NT, and
          embedded platforms. [Bug 219]

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h,config-linux-common.h,config-osf1-4.0.h,
          config-irix6.x-common.h:
          added #define ACE_HAS_STRPTIME. [Bug 219]

Tue Aug 10 12:28:54 1999  Jeff Parsons  <parsons@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/run_all_list.pm:
          Added IDL test to the list.

Mon Aug 09 16:49:45 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.{h,cpp} (wait): Re-visited the implementation so it
          behaves the same on both UNIX and Win32.  Thanks to Doug for
          suggesting this.

Mon Aug 09 16:30:24 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added note to follow the
          ACE documentation tools guidelines and restrictions.
          Thanks to Doug for pointing this out.

Mon Aug 09 16:06:01 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Applied smart eg++
          recognizer.  Thanks to Craig Anderson <chanders@timing.com> for
          providing the patch.

Mon Aug  9 11:29:36 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin: Fixed html-windex so that it works when class names contain
          the digit '3' in them, e.g., ACE_WIN32_Asynch_Accept, etc.
          Thanks to Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com> for reporting this
          problem.

Mon Aug 09 15:10:27 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.h (wait): Rewrote comments.

        * ace/Service_Config.h (open): Revised the comments for several
          service_config flags.  Thanks to Doug for pointing this out.

Mon Aug  9 11:29:36 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/test_demuxing.cpp: Added a destructor
          to ~STDIN_Handler that will remove the event handler for STDIN
          and the registered timer.

Mon Aug  9 10:45:24 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (handle_signal):  When working with an MMAP
          memory pool, a "real" segmentation fault (not related to
          updating the memory mapping) will cause the process to fail but
          not write a core file. This is because that on linux (and
          possibly other flavours of UNIX) core file writing is a default
          behaviour which is disabled once you register a signal handler.
          Even if the signal handler returns a bad return value which
          crashes the program, a core file will not be written.

          The fix for this is to modify the mmap() signal handler so that
          it de-registers the signal handler when detecting a segfault
          with the mapping up to date and return an "ok" answer. the
          program will attempt to access the illegal address again and
          dump core.  Thanks to Joseph Weihs <joseph-w@Orbotech.Co.IL> for
          contributing this fix.

        * ace/Signal: Changed the new handle_i() and register_handler_i()
          methods to be static member functions so they can be called from
          the static dispatch() member function.  Thanks to Andreas
          Geisler <andreas.geisler@erls.siemens.de> for reporting this.

Mon Aug  9 10:33:50 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/ASX/CCM_App/SC_Server.cpp: Make sure to enable
          the appropriate parameter for ACE_Service_Config::open() so that
          static services will be enabled.  Thanks to Michael Roth
          <ombelico@gmx.net> for reporting this.

Mon Aug 09 10:21:37 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU (INCLDIRS):
          removed "-I.".  It's not necessary, because the preprocessor
          will first look for headers in the current directory, when
          appropriate.  It causes trouble, for example, on NT for
          VxWorks with Green Hills.  Instead of including the system's
          Signal.h, ACE's signal.h gets #included with "-I.".  Thanks
          to Dale Wood <dale_wood@Mitel.com> for helping to track
          this down. [Bug 35]

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: no longer
          need to override INCLDIRS, now that it doesn't contain "-I.".
          [Bug 35]

Mon Aug 09 10:09:57 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h,streams.h: moved ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE #define from
          streams.h to OS.h, so that it is seen with
          ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY. And, provide default value
          for ACE_DEFAULT_LOG_STREAM. [Bug 208]

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: changed a couple remaining ostream occurrences
          to ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE.  Replaced conditional use of
          ACE_DEFAULT_LOG_STREAM/&cerr with ACE_DEFAULT_LOG_STREAM,
          now that it's always defined. [Bug 208]

Mon Aug 09 09:47:06 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp}: replaced the ACE_Log_Msg_key_created_
          and ACE_Log_Msg_key_ file static variables with static
          class members ACE_Log_Msg::key_created_ and
          ACE_Log_Msg::log_msg_tss_key_, respectively.  Only declare
          ACE_Log_Msg::log_msg_tss_key_ if the platform supports TSS
          (native or emulated).  Replaced the ACE_Log_Msg_message_queue
          file static variable with ACE_Log_Msg_Manager::message_queue_.
          Cleaned up Log_Msg.cpp. [Bug 86]

          Thanks to Umar Syyid <usyyid@hns.com> for suggesting that
          we remove the file static variables.

Mon Aug 09 09:33:43 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: #define ECOMM (to ECONNABORTED) if it's not
          already #defined.  This allows support on NT.  Thanks to
          Andy for reporting this.

Mon Aug  9 07:45:19 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Signal.h: Modified the behavior of the
          ACE_Sig_Handler::dispatch() method so that on Win32 it'll
          automagically re-register the signal handler after the
          handler_signal() method returns with a non -1 value.  Thanks to
          Andreas Geisler <andreas.geisler@erls.siemens.de> for suggesting
          this.

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Win32 didn't seem to like a 32k
          offset for the virtual address.  Let's try 64k instead.  Thanks
          to Nanbor for reporting this.

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Changed the sense of the conditional
          compilation test from && !defined (ACE_WIN32) to || defined
          (ACE_WIN32) so that this will run on Win32.  Thanks to
          Nanbor for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i: Cleaned up the coding style for the sigset*
          wrapper functions.

Sun Aug 08 21:19:42 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: removed unreferenced_function_param
          warning suppression.  It's no longer needed with the fixes
          to avoid unreferenced function parameters. [Bug 217]

Fri Aug 06 15:20:00 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added information about compilation on
          SunOS5.6 using egcs1.1.2.

Fri Aug 06 13:47:51 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note about disabling optimization
          for some files with Tornado II.

Fri Aug 06 13:39:48 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated VxWorks build information,
          specifically, the instructions for building on NT host.
          And, added information about linking libACE.so and libTAO.so
          into the VxWorks kernel.  Thanks to
          Erik Johannes <ejohannes@oresis.com> and Stephane Chatre
          <schatre@oresis.com> for helping to clarify and verify.

Fri Aug 06 12:10:19 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC.

        * ace/OS.cpp (strptime_getnum): getnum should be strptim_getnum.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Added ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME.  Thanks to
          Andy for pointing this out.

Fri Aug 06 11:13:27 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/streams.h,OS.h,Log_Msg.h: with ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAM_TOTALLY,
          removed the hack that re-#defined ostream.  Replaced that
          with an ACE_OSTREAM_TYPE macro. [Bug 208]

Fri Aug 06 10:49:34 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated egcs versions that we use
          (1.1.1 and 1.1.2).

Fri Aug  6 08:43:22 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Log_Msg/test_log_msg.cpp (main): Changed this
          test so that it no longer abort()s, but instead calls
          ACE_OS::_exit().  This should help avoid confusion when it's
          run.  Thanks to Kevin Lyda <kevin.lyda@trintech.com> for
          reporting this.  This fixes [BUGID:211].

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast: The QoS-enabled subscribe() call must
          call the QoS-enabled open() call, rather than the "regular"
          open() call because otherwise QoS information isn't initialized!
          Thanks to Vishal for pointing this out.

Fri Aug 06 08:22:00 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp: with ACE_SHOULD_MALLOC_STATIC_OBJECT_LOCK,
          made the ACE_Static_Object_Lock_lock instance static, to
          match the non-ACE_SHOULD_MALLOC_STATIC_OBJECT_LOCK behavior.
          Thanks to Jody for this change.

          Also, consolidated the code to alway use the
          ACE_Static_Object_Lock_Type typedef.

Fri Aug 06 06:55:49 1999  Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU (depend.local): added
          ACE_DEPEND_SED_CMD hook, so that users can add sed scripts.
          An example is to use relative instead of absolute paths
          in dependencies.  I put this into it to get the desired
          (site-specific) functionality:

          USER_DEPEND_SED_CMD=-e "s;$(PRISM_ROOT);\$$(PRISM_ROOT);g"

Thu Aug  5 22:26:18 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_OS): Added support for strptime() for platforms that
          lack it.  Thanks to Kevin Lyda <kevin.lyda@trintech.com> for
          contributing this.  Note that if a platform fails to compile
          because it doesn't support this function, please enable
          ACE_LACKS_STRPTIME in the config.h file and send us email.

Thu Aug 05 21:37:05 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (ACE_Static_Object_Lock_lock,
          ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance, cleanup_lock):
          added support for ACE_SHOULD_MALLOC_STATIC_OBJECT_LOCK.
          It's not (currently) used by ACE.  But, applications may
          find it useful for avoiding recursive calls if they have
          overridden operator new.  Thanks to Jody Hagins
          <jody@atdesk.com> for contributing it.

Thu Aug 05 21:04:20 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/streams.h: removed #includes of istream.h and ostream.h
          with ACE_HAS_STD_CPP_LIBRARY and ACE_USES_OLD_IOSTREAMS.
          Those headers aren't available with Sun CC.  I think that
          they might be unnecessary with egcs for Tornado II.  Thanks
          to Doug for reporting this.  Ref.
          Thu Aug 05 14:31:48 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>.

Thu Aug  5 16:43:29 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Rearranged the #ifdefs so that
          we don't do much of anything if the platform doesn't support
          processes.  Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.

Thu Aug  5 16:27:15 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU:
        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
          Added new macro (ACE_SHLIBS) to control the final link line of
          shared libraries.  Use this macro to list the -l options
          required by your shared library that are *not* included in the
          system LIBS macro, for example "-lTAO -lACE"; the system will
          automagically change that to be "-lTAOshr -lACEshr" on AIX.
          This also decouples the shared library link line from the
          binaries, which use LDLIBS and ACELIB, allowing the application
          developers to easily mix shared libraries and binaries in the
          same directory, even if the binaries depend on the generated
          shared library.

Thu Aug 05 15:44:39 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU:  on
          WIN32 host, assume that $(CC) is on the user's path (or is a
          full pathname).  That way, we don't need to determine ACE_CC
          dynamically, which causes trouble with the WIN32 shell.  Thanks
          to Erik Johannes <ejohannes@oresis.com> for reporting this.
          [NOTE: this had been committed on a branch, but never on the
          main line.]

Thu Aug 05 15:35:21 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/gperf/src/gperf.dsp:
        * apps/gperf/src/gperf_lib.dsp:
        * ace/ace_lib.dsp:
        * ace/ace_dll.dsp: Changed the default configuration to Win32
          Debug so if anyone doesn't know what he is doing, he'll most
          likely to success.

Thu Aug 05 15:30:32 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/streams.h: with ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAMS_TOTALLY, always
          #define ostream FILE *. [Bug 208]

Thu Aug 05 15:13:01 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added note on why we don't #define
          ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM for LynxOS. [Bug 164]

Thu Aug 05 14:53:44 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: added support for the Diab
          compiler, version 4.2a or later.  Compilation succeeds but links
          still have unresolved symbols related to new and delete. [Bug
          207]

        * ace/OS.h,README: added support for ACE_LACKS_NEW_H. [Bug 207]

        * ace/OS.h: for VxWorks, use the ANSI prototypes for
          inet_ntoa.h, etc., for all VxWorks compilers, not just Green
          Hills.  This allows compilation to succeed with Diab 4.2a.  [Bug
          207]

        Thanks to Erik Johannes <ejohannes@oresis.com> for helping with
        this quick port to Diab 4.2a for VxWorks.

Thu Aug 05 14:31:48 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/iosfwd.h: #include iosfwd with
          ACE_HAS_MINIMUM_IOSTREAMH_INCLUSION as well as without
          ACE_HAS_OLD_IOSTREAMS.  This allows builds to succeed for
          Tornado II with its egcs. [Bug 206]

        * ace/streams.h: added #includes of istream.h, ostream.h,
          and iomanip.h with ACE_HAS_STD_CPP_LIBRARY and
          ACE_USES_OLD_IOSTREAMS.  It's necessary for builds for Tornado
          II, but should be harmless and helpful on other platforms. [Bug
          206]

        Thanks to Matthias Schumann <matthias.schumann@xcc.de> for
        first reporting the solution to the build problem for Tornado II.

Thu Aug  5 13:03:28 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (shared_free): Looks like ACE_reinterpret_cast
          isn't the right thing to do...  Let's just use good ol'
          fashioned C-style casts instead.  Thanks to Bala for reporting
          this.

Thu Aug 05 12:05:42 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: moved minimum_corba
          make flag support from wrapper_macros.GNU to TAO/rules.tao.GNU.
          Thanks to Bala for noticing this. [Bug 204]

Thu Aug 05 12:01:14 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (shared_free): Applied
          ACE_reinterpret_cast (ACE_Malloc_Header*, yadda) to serveral
          pointer comparisons.  MSVC was complaining because the pointers are
          of different types.

Thu Aug  5 11:57:23 1999  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU (YACC): Removed the
          definition of interface_repo a command line option with 'make'
          to $TAO_ROOT/rules.tao.GNU as per Dr.Levine's suggestions.

Thu Aug 05 08:43:27 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_diab.GNU: added.
          Thanks to Erik Johannes <ejohannes@oresis.com> for
          helping to figure out its contents.  Note that compiles
          succeed with Diab 4.2a for VxWorks, but links do not, yet.

Thu Aug 05 08:37:09 1999  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added Kirk Davies' notes for running
          the ACE tests on Tornado II, without NFS installed.

Thu Aug  5 00:15:45 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Changed the type of index for operator[]
          and operator+= to be int instead of long so that it'll work
          correctly when constant values are used.  Thanks to
          Nanbor and KCC for pointing this out!

Wed Aug  4 19:46:33 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh:
          Disabled the New_Fail_Test because it breaks other
          compilations.

Wed Aug  4 15:56:51 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Make this test work even if
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC isn't set for a particular
          platform.

        * tests/Malloc_Test.h: Added a #include for
          "ace/Based_Pointer_T.h".  Thanks to Carlos for pointing out the
          need for this.

Wed Aug  4 17:07:12 1999  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU : Made the interface
          repository files to be compiled by default. If the user does not
          want these files to be compiled he can turn it off by issuing
          interface_repo=1 with the 'make' command.

Wed Aug  4 15:56:51 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task.h (ACE_Task_Base): Changed the parameter name
          <thread_names> to <thread_ids>, which is more descriptive.
          Thanks to John Forest <forestj@res.raytheon.com> for
          motivating this.

Wed Aug  4 15:54:51 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile:
        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile:
          If the libraries are specified as dependencies then they don't
          need to be listed in LDLIBS

Wed Aug  4 13:20:54 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc.h: Ok, let's try this again ;-).  Removed the
          forward declarations and typedefs and replaced them with
          #defines.  Hopefully, this will make all the compilers happy!

Wed Aug 04 12:58:53 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/*.dsp:  Fixed Alpha configurations.

Wed Aug  4 12:26:53 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc.h:
          Added more forward declarations for the compilations that
          enabled PIM.

Wed Aug  4 11:59:57 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc.h:
          The previous fix did not work, i used forward declarations to
          make it work.

Wed Aug  4 09:28:35 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc.h: Replaced the use of typedefs for macros
          to define ACE_MALLOC_HEADER_PTR ACE, ACE_NAME_NODE_PTR,
          ACE_CHAR_PTR to try to avoid "incomplete type" messages from
          certain versions of G++.  Macros are "later binding" than
          typedefs for this situation.

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp (handle_accept): Fixed an expression
          that had incorrect parentheses.  Thanks to David Digby
          <DWD15274@glaxowellcome.co.uk> for reporting this.

Wed Aug 04 02:40:45 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.bat:  * tests/tests.dsw:
        * tests/Malloc_Test.dsp:
        * tests/version_tests/Malloc_Test.dsp: Added project files for the
          Malloc_Test and added the test in run_test.bat.

Tue Aug  3 22:39:34 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/{Makefile,run_tests.sh}: Added support for the new
          Malloc_Test.

        * tests/Malloc_Test.cpp: Added a new test that exercises the new
          position-independent ACE_Malloc with ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool and
          ACE_Process_Mutex.

        * ace/Malloc_T: Added an accessor called mutex() to allow
          applications to acquire()/release() the lock used to provide
          mutual exclusion to an <ACE_Malloc> allocator.

        * tests/SV_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: Reformatted this test to
          conform to ACE programming guidelines.

        * ace/Memory_Pool: The void * and char * arguments to the various
          ACE_*_Memory_Pool_Options constructors should be const; now they
          are!

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_position_independent_malloc.cpp (main):
          Added auto_ptr support to this test, as well.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_multiple_mallocs.cpp: Enhanced
          this test so that it uses auto pointers and also now takes
          advantage of position-independent malloc, when possible.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_position_independent_malloc.cpp:
          Finished integrating all the features of this test.  It's pretty
          cool now!

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/Makefile: Updated the LSRC target so
          'make depend' works correctly...

        * ace/Select_Reactor_Base.cpp (find): Don't set errno = ENOENT
          if we find a valid mapping of handle to Event_Handler.  Thanks
          to Hao Ruan <hruan@lucent.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Added support for operator= (const
          ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic<T> &).

        * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Added definitions for
          ACE_Based_Pointer::operator= and
          ACE_Based_Pointer_Basic::operator= to make EGCS happy.

        * ace/Malloc.h: Factored out the common code for
          ACE_Based_Pointer<> and the underlying types, thereby reducing
          the number of #ifdef's.

        * ace/Based_Pointer_T: Added an operator CONCRETE *() method

        * ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.cpp: The original implementation
          of this classes stored a pointer to the size of each mapped
          address, rather than just the value.  This was causing problems
          when used for shared memory because the memory was allocated in
          one process and freed in another.  This is now fixed by not
          storing a pointer, but by storing the value instead.  Thanks to
          Nanbor for reporting this.

Tue Aug  3 23:43:47 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile:
        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile:
          Fixed dependencies so parallel compilations (using the -j
          option) will work correctly. This fixes [BUGID:187]

Tue Aug  3 23:23:18 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Cached_Connect_Strategy_T.{h,cpp} (cleanup):
          Added a specialised method to prevent memory leaks with old
          versions of g++. This method calls the underlying iterator
          and does the cleanup.

        * ace/run_tests.sh:
          Removed purify check over Cached_Accept_Conn_Test and
          Cached_Conn_Test since they no longer leak memory when built
          using old version of g++.

Tue Aug  3 22:23:18 1999  Balachandran Natarajan  <bala@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Added an ifeq flag for
          the interface repository. Compiling with interface_repo=1 will
          compile  the files  for interface repository.

Tue Aug 03 21:17:00 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (host_is_up): Added a time out
          value of 5 second to spped up the test.  Thanks to Jody Hagins
          <jody@atdesk.com> for submitting the patch.

Tue Aug 03 18:30:47 1999  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies.h (ACE_Connection_Recycling_Strategy):
          Added a new pure virtual method <marked_as_closed_i> which will
          provide a non-locking implementation of the <mark_as_closed>
          method.

        * ace/Strategies_T.h (ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy):
        * ace/Cached_Connect_Strategy_T.h (ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy_Ex):
          Made <mark_as_closed_i> public.

        * ace/Caching_Utility_T.{h,cpp}
          (ACE_Refcounted_Recyclable_Caching_Utility): Added this class
          which caters to purging of refcounted and recyclable handlers.

        * ace/Cleanup_Strategy_T.{h,cpp}:
          (ACE_Refcounted_Recyclable_Cleanup_Strategy): Added this class
          which caters to the cleanup of handlers which are refcounted and
          recyclable. Heres where the necessity of making the non-locking
          version of <marked_as_closed> public arose in the first place.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_Recyclable_State):
          Removed hardcoded values and left the enum values to the
          discretion of the compiler.

Tue Aug 03 16:58:08 1999  Joe Hoffert  <joeh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ATM_Acceptor.{h,cpp}:
        * ace/ATM_Connector.{h,cpp}:
        * ace/ATM_Stream.{h,i,cpp}:
        * ace/ATM_Params.cpp:
        * ace/ATM_QoS.cpp:
        * ace/XTI_ATM_Mcast.{h,i,cpp}:
          Fixed inlining errors.

Tue Aug 03 16:15:00 1999  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Auto_Ptr.h: created ACE_AUTO_PTR_RESET macros, which depend on
          whether or not ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET is defined.

        * ace/config-kcc-common.h: defined ACE_AUTO_PTR_LACKS_RESET, because
          KCC native auto_ptr support is difficult to disable, and implements
          an older version of auto_ptr (without the reset method).

Tue Aug 03 13:26:47 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Repository.cpp (instance): Check to see if
          the ACE_Object_Manager is being shutting down before creating a
          new instance of Service_Repository.  Otherwise, we may be
          creating a new service repository just for shutting it down.
          Thanks to Doug for noticing this.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (fini_svcs): Since it is now possible for
          ACE_Service_Repository::instance to return 0 during program
          shutdown, we must check its value before using it.

          Notice that the change assumes people don't do stupid things
          like initializing the Service_Config during program shutdown.

Mon Aug  2 23:21:01 1999  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Added several flags to: disable test execution, specify the list
          of build directories on the command line, send email on
          successful compilation, keep a more detailed history, etc.

Mon Aug 02 18:38:37 1999  Joe Hoffert  <joeh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ATM_Acceptor.{h,i,cpp} :
        * ace/ATM_Connector.{h,i,cpp} :
        * ace/ATM_Params.{h,i,cpp} :
        * ace/ATM_QoS.{h,i,cpp} :
        * ace/ATM_Stream.{h,i,cpp} :
        * ace/XTI_ATM_Mcast.{h,i,cpp} :
        * ace/ATM_Addr.{h,cpp}:
        * ace/Makefile:
        * ace/TLI_Connector.i:
          Added new ATM wrapper files to make the mechanism of sockets or
          XTI transparent when using the ATM protocol. Modified existing
          files to take advantage of these wrapper classes.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP :
        * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/CPP-client.cpp :
        * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/CPP-server.cpp :
        * examples/IPC_SAP/ATM_SAP/Makefile :
          Added new test directory and programs to test ATM wrapper classes.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/TLI_SAP/CPP-ATM-client.cpp:
          Modified existing test program to utilize new ATM_QoS class.

Mon Aug 02 17:24:05 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_DL_TYPE): Only WinCE uses wchar_t DL type, we'll
          just deal with this in ACE_OS::dlsym instead of defining
          different types here.

        * ace/OS.i (dlsym): GetProcAddress is defined differently on
          Windows CE and other Win32 platforms so we need to treat them
          differently.

        * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Malloc_Header): Added a dummy member function
          to prevent egcs from complaining "all member functions are
          private."

        * ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.cpp:  Fixed the use of map
          iterators.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_position_independent_malloc.cpp
          (main): Delete the allocator before exiting from main.

        * ace/Malloc.h (ACE_Malloc_Header,ACE_Name_Node,ACE_Control_Block):
          Added an unimplemented assignment operator for this class.
          Otherwise, some compilers will try to use
          ACE_Based_Pointer_Base<T>::operator= which is not implemented.

Mon Aug  2 09:58:20 1999  Ossama Othman  <othman@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (init):
        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (init):
        * netsvcs/lib/TS_Clerk_Handler.cpp (init):

          Changed cast to ACE_SignalHandler to allow it to compile under
          gcc 2.95.


Sun Aug  1 15:58:39 1999  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/colorize:
          Added <PRE></PRE> wrapper around generated output.

        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/Makefile:
        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/README:
        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/mm.cpp:
        * docs/tutorials/Chap_03/ex03.html: mm.cpp (and ex03.html) are a
          slightly modified version of ex02.html that uses a memory mapped
          file instead of SYSV SHMEM.  To work around the lack of fork()
          in Win32, the app must be executed once in server mode
          (argv[1] == 's') and again in client mode.

Sun Aug  1 15:58:39 1999  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: If the base_addr is 0 for the
          ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool_Options, then we will disable the
          "use_fixed_addr" option since it's going to cause big trouble to
          mmap() at location 0!  Plus, when 0 is used it's intended as an
          indication that the application wants the OS to choose the
          appropriate mapping.  This minor change in semantics works
          particularly well with the new
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC feature, because we can now
          let the OS choose the mapping location with out fear of begin
          mapped to a different location!

        * ace  /Memory_Pool.cpp: Conditionally include
          ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.h when
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC is defined.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: Enabled the
          ACE_HAS_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_MALLOC macro by default.  Let's see
          whether this breaks lots of stuff ;-).

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the definition of ACE_IPPROTO_TCP down
          further in this file so that the IPPROTO_TCP macro would be
          defined.

        * ace/Based_Pointer_T.cpp: Removed an inappropriate use of
          ACE_INLINE in the *.cpp file.  Thanks to DEC UNIX C++ for
          reporting this!

Sun Aug 01 02:41:44 1999  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/Shared_Malloc.dsw
        * examples/Shared_Malloc/position_independent_malloc.dsp: Added
          this new project file for position independent malloc test.
