Thu Dec 31 13:25:53 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/019/server[2].cpp:
        Test that the segment was created.  If it already existed, the
        malloc() will return 0 and we'll crash.

Thu Dec 31 12:10:46 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/RB_Tree_Test.cpp:
          Added missing template instantiation, actually it seems that the
          IRIX MIPSPro compiler was not doing recursive instantiation.

        * ace/ACE.cpp:
          Use ACE_NOTREACHED in ACE::set_handle_limit(), the IRIX compiler
          was complaining again.

Thu Dec 31 10:58:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Fixed_Set::insert): removed
          blank line between function header and body.

Thu Dec 31 09:40:09 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SOCK_Stream: Added a new ACE_SOCK_Stream constructor that
          initializes the underlying ACE_HANDLE automagically.

Wed Dec 30 17:07:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@ace.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.h: Clarified that the insert() method on
          ACE_Unbounded_Stack doesn't allow duplicates.  Thanks to Susan
          Liebeskind <susan.liebeskind@gtri.gatech.edu> for reporting
          this.

Wed Dec 30 14:41:56 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp:
          Sometimes the get_ip_interfaces routine was returning 0.0.0.0 as
          a valid address, we explicitly avoid that now.

Wed Dec 30 14:34:44 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/GenExportH.BAT: Added '\$\I\d\$' string in generated file.
          Also in generated file, make XXX_HAS_DLL defined to 1 if it
          isn't defined already.

Wed Dec 30 13:22:50 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Functor.{cpp, h, i}
          ace/Functor_T.{cpp, h, i}
          ace/Hash_Map_Manager.{h, i}
          ace/Hash_Map_Manager_T.{h, i}: Moved ACE_Hash and ACE_Equal_To
          STL-style functors from the Hash_Map_Manager files into the
          Functor files (so other containers can use these from a central
          place).  Added ACE_Less_Than STL-style functor.  Thanks to Doug
          Schmidt, Carlos O'Ryan, and Irfan Pyarali for comments on the
          distinctions between GOF command pattern functors and STL-style
          functors.

        * ace/RB_Tree.{cpp, h, i}: Reworked templates so RB_Tree can take
          advantage of template specialization for strcmp semantics without
          the overhead of a virtual function call.  Thanks to Carlos O'Ryan
          for his suggestions on how to achieve this.

        * ace/OS.h
          ace/config-psos-diab.h
          include/makeinclude/platform_psos_diab.GNU
          tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp
          tests/Process_Strategy_Test.cpp
          tests/RB_Tree_Test.cpp
          tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp
          tests/TSS_Test.cpp: A number of fixes to allow ACE pSOS tests to
          compile and link successfully.

Wed Dec 30 10:36:36 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: protected tests of doubles with
          #ifndef ACE_LACKS_FLOATING_POINT, so that the test will
          build for our Chorus platform.

Tue Dec 29 16:24:24 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/Service_Config.perl,auto_ptr.perl,corba-boolean.perl,
          rename-ace.pl: use perl from user's path, so we don't have
          to hard-code its location.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: don't test ACE_U_LongLong if
          the platform defines ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T, e.g., GreenHills,
          because it makes a big mess.

        * bin/Hash_Map_Manager.pl,Hash_Map_Manager_Helper.csh:
          translated Hash_Map_Manager_Helper.csh from csh to sh.
          Renamed Hash_Map_Manager_Helper.csh to Hash_Map_Manager_Helper.

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: specifically disallow csh scripts.

Tue Dec 29 15:09:15 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.10 released.

Tue Dec 29 14:57:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/tutorials/{019,020}: Checked out the two new tutorials
          from James Johnson.

Tue Dec 29 14:37:57 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.9 released.

Tue Dec 29 13:32:50 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_SELF): Changed it's definition from -1 to 0 on NT
          to avoid warings from Intel C++.  ACE_SELF is not used on NT.
          Thanks to Karel Zuiderveld <kzuiderveld@vitalimages.com> for
          reporting this.

Tue Dec 29 10:29:03 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Fixed a bunch of warnings produced by Intel's C++ 4.0
          compiler.  Thanks to Karel Zuidrveld
          <kzuiderveld@vitalimages.com> for reporting these.

Tue Dec 29 09:47:48 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos*.h,README:
          restored ACE_TIMER_SKEW, with explanatory comment.

Mon Dec 28 23:12:59 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.h,
          ace/Mem_Map.h,
          ace/Read_Buffer.h:
          Added ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC() macros to these headers.

Wed Dec 28 22:55:55 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.h: Prevent copying and assignment by putting these
          methods in the private part of the class.

Mon Dec 28 17:57:25 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/020/*:
        Sooner than expected...  A brief and basic intro to using
        ACE_Shared_Memory_MM.

        * docs/tutorials/online-tutorials.html:
        Linked in 019 and 020

Mon Dec 28 16:32:42 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/019/*:
        At long last, a basic Tutorial on ACE_Shared_Memory_SV.  With
        luck, 020 will be added soon to cover ACE_Shared_Memory_MM

Mon Dec 28 11:21:40 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies.h: Put the "virtual" keyword in from of the
          ~ACE_Reactor_Notification_Strategy to make it clear
          that this destructor is virtual.  Thanks to Greg Gallant
          <greg.gallant@jhuapl.edu> for pointing this out.

Mon Dec 28 11:12:08 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added SunOS 5.7 (Solaris 7) info.

Mon Dec 28 10:52:20 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * */Makefile:
          Updated dependencies.

Mon Dec 28 02:34:59 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/server_test.cpp
          (main): Allow loading in static services in this application.
          Thanks to Peter J. Mason <peterm@fl.net.au> for reporting this.

        * ace/Service_Config.{h,i,cpp} (ACE_Service_Config): Changed the
          default value of <ignore_static_svcs> to 1.  Otherwise, it is
          not consistent with the initial value of
          ACE_Service_Config::no_static_svcs_ and that's very confusing.
          (open): Added one more argument <ignore_static_svcs> with
          default value of 1.  This allow us to turn off this behavior
          when opening Service_Config.  Otherwise, the only other way is
          to create a fake ACE_Service_Config and use that to change the
          static variable <no_static_svcs_>.

Sun Dec 27 21:51:10 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/purify.solaris2: added a couple of MIU suppressions for
          SunOS 5.7's thread library.

Fri Dec 25 08:23:51 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Fixed a broken link to the ACE FAQ.  Thanks to
          Barry Hoggard <hoggardb@panix.com> for reporting this.

Fri Dec 25 01:55:32 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager: There are two problems with the current
          implementation of Hash_Map_Manager:

          (a) It requires a hash() method on the key type.  If it is not
              possible for the key type to have a hash() function (e.g.,
              the key is a primitive type such as an int, or is a pointer
              type, or a three party class), the usual solution is to do
              partial template specialization.

              This is usually not a very good option since some compilers
              do not support partial template specialization.

          (b) The second problem is with comparing two keys.
              Hash_Map_Manager assumes that keys can be compared using
              operator==. This assumption causes problems in some cases,
              e.g., when using char * as the key.  Usually with char *,
              you want to use strcmp and not compare pointers.

          Solution to these two problems is the new Hash_Map_Manager_Ex
          class. Problem (a) is addressed by using a function object - the
          type of which is specified by the user as an additional template
          parameter. Problem (b) is addressed by using another function
          object - the type of which is specified by the user as an
          additional template parameter. So the new Hash_Map_Manager_Ex
          takes five template parameters:

          <key, value, hash_key, compare_keys, mutex>

          Backward compatibility: Hash_Map_Manager now inherits from
          Hash_Map_Manager_Ex, fixing the hash_key function object (which
          simply calls key.hash()) and fixing compare_keys (which simply
          uses operator== on the keys).

          There will be one problem: Users of compilers that do not
          implicitly instantiate templates will have to update their list
          of template instantiations. To help with this, please see
          $ACE_ROOT/bin/Hash_Map_Manager_Helper.csh

          Other miscellaneous changes: Added two new classes: ACE_Hash<T>
          and ACE_Equal_To<T>.  ACE_Hash assumes a hash() method on T.
          ACE_Equal_To compares by using operator==.  However, the
          ACE_Hash class has been specialized to work with:

          char, signed char, unsigned char,
          short, unsigned short,
          int, unsigned int,
          long, unsigned long,
          const char *, char *,
          const wchar_t *, wchar_t *,
          const ACE_USHORT16 *, ACE_USHORT16 *,

          Also, ACE_Equal_To has been specialized to work with:

          const char *, char *,
          const wchar_t *, wchar_t *,
          const ACE_USHORT16 *, ACE_USHORT16 *,

          Remember, you don't have to use these specialization.  You can
          always create your own.

          If we had default template parameters, we could default hash_key
          to ACE_Hash<key> and compare_keys could default to
          ACE_Equal_To<key>.

          BTW, note that the specialization with ACE_Hash and ACE_Equal_To
          is not partial template specialization.  It is complete template
          specialization, and we don't know of compilers that cannot
          handle complete template specialization.

          Since we now have template specialization, Hash_Map_Manager_T.*
          files were created.  I also took this opportunity to inline most
          of the Hash_Map_Manager functions.

          Also, update the makefiles and project files.

          BTW, these changes grossly simplified
          tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp and tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp.
          These tests will now work with compilers that do not support
          partial template specialization.  Maybe James can change
          Filecache to take advantage of these changes.

          Updated the following files with the new template instantiations:

          ace/Filecache.cpp
          ace/Local_Name_Space.cpp
          ace/Template_Instantiations.cpp
          tests/Conn_Test.cpp
          tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp
          tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp
          TAO/examples/Callback_Quoter/Notifier_i.cpp
          TAO/examples/POA/On_Demand_Loading/Servant_Manager.cpp
          TAO/examples/Simple/bank/AccountManager_i.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AV/AVStreams_i.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/EC_Gateway_UDP.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Log/Logger_i.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Property/CosPropertyService_i.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/CosNaming_i.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Trader/Service_Type_Repository.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Trader/Trader.cpp
          TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Trader/Trader_Utils.cpp
          TAO/tao/ORB.cpp
          TAO/tao/ORB_Core.cpp
          TAO/tao/Object_Table.cpp
          TAO/tao/Operation_Table.cpp
          TAO/tao/POA.cpp
          examples/Map_Manager/test_hash_map_manager.cpp

          Thanks to Carlos for suggesting these changes.  Most of these
          were inspired by SGI's STL.

          If these changes are successful (i.e., nobody is hunting me down
          for breaking their code ;-)), we should add a similar comparison
          function object to Map_Manager, Collections in Containers_T that
          require an operator==() (typically for remove() and find()) and
          the RB_Tree.

        * ace/ACE (hash_pjw): hash_pjw is now available for char *,
          wchar_t *, and ACE_UINT16 *.

        * ace/OS (strlen, strcpy, strcmp): These functions are now
          available for char *, wchar_t *, and ACE_UINT16 *.

        * ace/SString.cpp (ACE_WString::strlen): Simply calls
          ACE_OS::strlen.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h (ACE_HAS_WCHAR_TYPEDEFS_USHORT): Since
          Win32 typedefs wchar_t as a 16 bit unsigned short, this can
          potentially cause problems with function overloading.
          Therefore, I added ACE_HAS_WCHAR_TYPEDEFS_USHORT to the Win32
          config file.  This is very similar to
          ACE_HAS_WCHAR_TYPEDEFS_CHAR.  Thanks to David Levine for helping
          with this.

Thu Dec 24 09:37:32 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.8 released.

Thu Dec 24 00:59:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h (ACE_Thread_Manager): Added a more complete
          documentation of the deprecated <at_exit> method.  Thanks to
          Keith Brown <kalbrown@ix.netcom.com> for reporting this.

Wed Dec 23 16:37:52 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h,include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_ghs.GNU:
          updated so that links succeed.

          customized dll extension is used.

Tue Dec 22 22:34:32 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h,include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_ghs.GNU:
          added GreenHills compiler support.

        * ace/OS.h: don't use hrtime_t for ACE_hrtime_t if
          ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T.

Mon Dec 21 16:06:07 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Shared_Memory_MM.i: Changed the remove() method to call
          ACE_Mem_Map::remove() rather than ACE_Mem_Map::unmap() so the
          code is consistent with the documentation.  Thanks to James
          Johnson for reporting this.

Mon Dec 21 13:55:33 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.{i,cpp} (ACE_Bounded_Set::is_full): On LynxOS
          only, uninlined this function to avoid Internal Compiler Error
          with native (3.0.0) compiler.  Thanks to Carlos for this fix,
          it had us stumped for quite a while.

Sat Dec 19 18:27:07 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timer_Queue_Adapters.cpp (handle_signal): Cleaned up an

        * ace/config-sunos5.7.h: added this config, for Solaris 7.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/Gateway.cpp,
          examples/ASX/Event_Server/Transceiver/transceiver.cpp
          (handle_signal): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (signum).

Fri Dec 18 06:08:47 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer: Made several methods const.  Thanks to Ulf
          Jaehrig <jaehrig@desys.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Thread.h (ACE_Thread): Removed a stray join(ACE_Thread_ID)
          method.  Thanks to Jody Hagins <jody@atdesk.com> for reporting
          this.

Thu Dec 17 21:06:30 EST 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/tutorials/000:
          Removed.  This is redundant with the Chap* directories.

Thu Dec 17 17:18:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sco5.0.0-{nothread,fsu-pthread}.GNU:
          This file was been modified to get rid of thread related stuff
          until we can obtain the FSU threads library.  Thanks to Michael
          Preobrazhensky <mikep@xpedite.com> for this.

Thu Dec 17 16:56:28 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/create_ace_build: try /bin/find if /usr/bin/find doesn't exist.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (elapsed_time): rearranged terms in
          nanoseconds calculation to avoid overflow on machines that don't
          have native 64-bit ints.  Thanks to Greg Holtmeyer
          <gholtmeyer@mdc.com> for helping to track this problem down.

Thu Dec 17 12:43:11 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Removed the use of ACE_DEBUG within handle_signal() methods
          to avoid portability problems.  Thanks to Susan Liebeskind
          <susan.liebeskind@gtri.gatech.edu> for reporting this.

Tue Dec 15 14:45:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * *.h: removed () from #pragma implementation argument.
          Thanks to Christian v. Mueffling <cvm@aiss.de> for reporting
          this.

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added Doug's warning about side effects
          in ACE_DEBUG statements.

Tue Dec 15 14:43:47 1998  Ossama Othman  <ossama@debian.org>

        * ace/OS.{h,i},README: added lstat() and readlink() methods.
          Use ACE_LACKS_LSTAT and ACE_LACKS_READLINK if lstat() and readlink()
          aren't supported.

Tue Dec 15 11:55:51 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE_Library.(mak mdp): Added Message_Queue.cpp to the files list.

        * examples/NT_Service/NT_Service.(mak mdp): MSVC 4.2 project file for
          the NT_Service example.

Tue Dec 15 11:27:24 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-chorus.h: added ACE_LACKS_READLINK.

        * ace/config-psos*.h,config-vxworks-5.x.h: added ACE_LACKS_READLINK
          and ACE_LACKS_LSTAT.

Tue Dec 15 08:44:18 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * examples/NT_Service: New example program, shows how to create,
          manipulate, and run an NT Service using the ACE_NT_Service class.
          Muchas gracias to Gonzalo Diethelm for smashing this code into a
          good example - useful enough to show how things work, but simple
          enough to show all the useful functionality in one concise program.

Tue Dec 15 07:32:49 EST 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * OS.h:

          Moved the definition of IOV_MAX after we have included the
          limits.h file. Before make ing this change, we were getting lots
          of warnings on SunOS 5.6 about redefinition of IOV_MAX.

Mon Dec 14 15:39:39 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Makefile:
          Updated dependencies.

Mon Dec 14 10:49:29 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Static_Performance.dsw: Quick and dirty workspace to build
          several static version's performance tests.

        * ace/ace_lib.dsp: Removed "__ACE_INLINE__=0" from the default
          static release build settings.

        * performance-tests/Misc/basic_perf.dsp:
        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.dsp: Added static
          build configurations.

        * tests/RB_Tree_Test.dsp: Redid the project file.  A VC 6 only
          compiler option somehow got into the file.  Thanks to Ulf
          Jaehrig <jaehrig@desys.com> for reporting this.

Mon Dec 14 10:24:59 1998 Fred Kuhns <fredk@arl.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added #define for IOV_MAX 16

Mon Dec 14 08:35:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * BUG-REPORT-FORM: added a few FMMs.

Mon Dec 14 08:27:11 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: Enabled MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.

Sun Dec 13 16:40:18 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.dsp:
        * tests/tests.dsw: Added the new project file -
          MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.

        * tests/run_tests.bat: Added MT_Reactor_Timer_Test into
          one-button test for NT.

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp: Changed the use of
          ACE_OS::{read,write} to ACE::{recv,send}.

Sat Dec 12 17:19:17 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): If we specified a suffix which is not the
          default suffix on the platform, the ldfind() operation should
          not try to add the default platform suffix but use ours.

Sat Dec 12 07:44:02 1998 John Lindal <jafl@cco.caltech.edu>

        * ace/config-mklinux.h: added.

Fri Dec 11 23:26:20 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp: Generalize the test to perform
          "platform specific" message queue tests when applicable.
          Currently, this only applies to VxWorks and Windows NT 4.0 or
          above.

        * tests/DLL_Test.cpp (main): STL's implementation of auto_ptr
          doesn't define an assignment operator that takes a pointer of T.
          Changed to use constructor to initialize the auto_ptr my_hello.

Fri Dec 11 16:30:44 1998  Ossama Othman  <othman@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: Removed the ACE_DISABLE_AUTOCONF_LONGLONG
          macro.  It broke ACE+autoconf on non-sun platforms.

1998-12-11  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * test/DLL_Test.dsp: Fixed configuration settings.  Most of the
          time, it's easier to add new projects by using the
          bin/dsp2dsp.pl.

        * ace/Message_Queue.{h,cpp} (enqueue): Made sure all bytes in a message
          block chain are accounted for.
          (enqueue_tail,dequeue_head): Added two more methods into
          ACE_Message_Queue_Base.  They are the prefered methods to use.

Fri Dec 11 15:09:43 1998  Ossama Othman  <ossama@debian.org>

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: define ACE_DISABLE_AUTOCONF_LONGLONG
          before including ace/inc_user_config.h.  This will prevent
          an automatically generated ACE Configuration Project config.h
          header from defining ACE_UINT64, and thus allowing
          Time_Value_Test.cpp to compile on platforms that define
          ACE_HAS_STHREADS.  Please read the comment in Time_Value_Test.cpp.
          ACE_DISABLE_AUTOCONF_LONGLONG is not meant for general use!

Fri Dec 11 14:05:11 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.(cpp h): Replaced the multithread
          timer set/cancel test with sensible tests.

Fri Dec 11 08:51:07 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated egcs version information.

        * VERSION: added ace-users/comp.soft-sys.ace info.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added suppression
          of warning 1136, conversion to integral type of smaller size
          could lose data.  cxx V6.1-029 spews out a bunch of them,
          otherwise.

        * tests/Time_Value_Test.cpp: protected definition of __ACE_INLINE__.
          Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

1998-12-11  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.{h,i,cpp} (ACE_Message_Queue_Base): Added a
          bunch of pure virture functions in the class to define the
          common interface functions of a message queue.  This allows up
          to experiment different message queue implementations easily.
          Most significantly, all queueing operations are simplified into
          <enqueue> and <dequeue> method in ACE_Message_Queue_Base as
          "standard" queueing operations.  Inherited class, of course, can
          add fancier queueing operations (as in ACE_Message_Queue.)

          (ACE_Message_Queue_NT):  A new adapter class inherited from
          ACE_Message_Queue_Base that implement a message queue using NT's
          IO completion ports.  As it's name implies, this is a
          specialized version for NT.  It is not as versatile as ACE's
          general MQ implementation.  However, this implementation
          consumes less NT handles which in some circumstances may be a
          big win (because ACE_Message_Queue uses cv and on NT, cv is
          simulated and consumes 4 handles per cv.  ACE_Message_Queue_NT
          only uses one handle and one critical section.)

          Several features inherited from IO completion port are, the
          waiting threads are release in LIFO order, and you can control
          (at initialization time,) the max number of threads that can be
          release by the message queue to run concurrently.

          Notice that the constructor and the <open> method have different
          signature compared with those of ACE_Message_Queue.  You should
          use ACE_Message_Queue_Factory to create a message queue on the
          fly if so desired.

          Thanks to Mark Lucovsky <markl@microsoft.com> and Karlheinz Dorn
          <Karlheinz.Dorn@med.siemens.de> for providing the idea.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.h (dequeue): Added the new method to match
          with the changes in ACE_Message_Queue_Base.
          (create_NT_message_queue): A wrapper function to manufacture an
          ACE_Message_Queue_NT.


Thu Dec 10 09:08:26 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-chorus.h: added ACE_LACKS_FSYNC.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: ACE/TAO build on Linux RedHat 5.2
          as well as 5.1.

        * ace/config-osf1-3.2.h: added getpgid () prototype, because
          an old comment said that it was missing from the system headers.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: replaced ACE_LACKS_GETPGID with
          a getpgid () prototype.

        Thanks to Ivan Pascal <pascal@info.tsu.ru> for motivating the
        above two getpgid () updates.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: updated comment on why explicit
          instantiation isn't used with Sun CC.  Thanks to
          William A. Hoffman <hoffman@crd.ge.com> for introducing
          us to -instances=explicit.

Wed Dec 09 22:59:38 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.7 released.

Wed Dec 09 18:03:58 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/WFMO_Reactor/test_network_events.cpp (main):
          Removed global variables and cleaned up some minor things.

Wed Dec 09 07:02:06 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * README, VERSION: expanded mention of BUG-REPORT-FORM.

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: strengthened mention of ACE_ASSERT danger.
          Thanks to Irfan for the example.

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks: re-enabled Timeprobe_Test, now that
          ACE_ASSERTs have been fixed in ACE's Containers.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h,config-osf1-{3.2,4.0}.h:
          removed ACE_LACKS_GETPGID.  Thanks to
          Ivan Pascal <pascal@info.tsu.ru> for reporting that
          getpid () is supported on those platforms.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: restored ACE_LACKS_GETPGID,
          because ::getpgid () isn't found on Alpha with glibc 2.0.7.

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: disabled ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBES,
          because the ACE lib is built by default without them.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: disabled
          Yield_Test on VxWorks, because it doesn't run properly there.

        * ace/config-tandem.h,README: removed ACE_HAS_STRUCT_PROTOENT_DATA,
          because it is no longer used.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

        * tests/Collection_Test.cpp,
          examples/Reactor/Misc/test_early_timeouts.cpp:
          removed unused parameter names argc and argv.

        * tests/DLL_Test.cpp: added ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr <Hello> template
          instantiation.

1998-12-09  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Collection_Test.cpp: Added new test for ACE collections.

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (operator*):
        * ace/Containers_T.cpp (operator*):
        * ace/SPIPE_Acceptor.cpp (create_new_instance):

          Fixed ACE_ASSERT usage.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: Added ACE_LACKS_FSYNC.

        * ace/OS.i (fsync): Added ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN (-1).

Tue Dec 08 21:39:16 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU,ACE-INSTALL.html:
          enable DU 4.0 cxx 6.x warnings by default.  To disable, if
          you're using cxx 5.x, set CXX_VER to CXX_5 either on the
          make command line, or in your environment.  Thanks to
          Gary York <gfyork@ix.netcom.com> for being that last
          cxx 6.x user to trip over this :-)

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: override
          ACE_HAS_GNUG_PRE_2_8 to allow builds of all TAO tests
          on LynxOS 3.0.0.  Its g++ can handled nested classes, even though
          it's in the 2.7 family.  Thanks to Patty Hair <patty@Lynx.COM>
          for suggesting that we try to build the tests on LynxOS.

Tue Dec  8 19:50:49 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Shared_Object.cpp: Changed the various default
          implementations of init()/fini()/info() to return 0 rather than
          -1 so that users won't have to subclass Service_Object just to
          change the return value.  Thanks to Eric Newton for motivating
          this.

Tue Dec  8 16:52:57 1998  Ossama Othman  <ossama@debian.org>

        * ace/OS.{h,i}, ace/README: Added a fsync() method.  Define
          ACE_LACKS_FSYNC if ::fsync() isn't supported.

Tue Dec 08 15:03:25 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/NT_Service.{h cpp i}: Added a number of methods which can be
          used to register, remove, and control an NT service.  Also,
          another macro, ACE_NT_SERVICE_RUN, which simplifies the setting up
          and running the most common case, a single service.  Huge thanks
          to Gonzalo Diethelm <Gonzalo.Diethelm@jda.cl> for contributing
          the bulk of this code!

Tue Dec 08 11:22:56 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.6 released.

Tue Dec 08 10:45:56 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/System_Time.h: Removed redundant ACE_Time_Date definition.
          Thanks to Martin Krumpolec <krumpo@pobox.sk> for reporting this.

Mon Dec 07 22:58:53 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/test_early_timeouts.cpp: On some
          platforms, select() returns before the time value specified.
          This tests counts the number of times this happens and the max
          early timeout.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (open): Added a call to ACE::ldopen() before calling
          ACE_OS::dlopen().  The allows us to find the library is
          predefined places and also expand the file name to the correct
          syntax (prefix and suffix) according to the platform.

          Also, fixed a bug where the <close_on_destruction_> flag has not
          being consulted on a reopen.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Moved the code that calls
          ExpandEnvironmentStringsA() from
          ACE_Location_Node::open_handle() to ACE::ldfind().  This code is
          more general and therefore belongs in ACE::ldfind().

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp and ace/Svc_Conf_y.cpp: Fixed the incorrect
          use of ASYS_WIDE_STRING. Remember that the string returned from
          ASYS_WIDE_STRING is only valid for that line of code ;)

Mon Dec 07 14:11:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/README: added entries for ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAMS_TOTALLY
          and ACE_HAS_BROKEN_CONDITIONAL_STRING_CASTS.  Thanks to
          Ossama Othman  <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for reminding
          me to do this.

Mon Dec 07 09:27:04 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Stats.cpp (std_dev): added comments to not reformat
          some code.  It compiles with the Diab compiler for pSoS
          the way it is.

Sun Dec 06 23:59:29 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * config-sunos5.5.h: Added back ACE_HAS_TIMER_SKEW.  It is really
          required. See me for an example that illustrates this need.

Sun Dec 06 16:05:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        Changes for pSOS port: ACE now compiles for pSOSystem 68k targets using
        the Diab D-C++ 4.2a compiler release, and links with all but the
        following ACE tests: Conn_Test, Handle_Set_Test, OrdMultiSet_Test,
        Priority_Reactor_Test, Process_Strategy_Test, Reactor_Performance_Test,
        and TSS_Test.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp
          ace/Log_Record.{cpp, h}
          ace/streams.h
          ace/SString.cpp
          ace/config-WinCE.h
          ace/config-psos-diab.h
          tests/test_config.h: Rearranged log print methods so that logging
          can still be done on platforms where iostreams are not sufficiently
          supported. Added ACE_LACKS_IOSTREAMS_TOTALLY to select this
          behavior, and defined it in pSOS Diab config header (also added to
          Windows CE config header, to simplify factoring out Win CE specific
          logging methods).

        * include/makeinclude/platform_psos_diab.GNU
          ace/OS.{cpp, h, i}: Removed Diab supplied library calls so ACE now
          links directly to pSOSystem libraries.

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp
          ace/Stats.cpp: Modifications to circumvent bugs in the Diab 4.2a
          compiler's handling of conditional operators.

Sun Dec 06 08:32:36 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.cpp,Local_Name_Space_T.cpp,
          Name_Request_Reply.cpp,Service_Config.cpp,Service_Manager.cpp,
          Svc_Conf.y,Svc_Conf_Tokens.h,Svc_Conf_y.cpp,
          Time_Request_Reply.cpp,Trace.cpp:
          use ACE_NLOGGING instead of ACE_NDEBUG.

Sat Dec 05 21:45:00 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.cpp,Local_Name_Space_T.cpp,
          Name_Request_Reply.cpp,Service_Config.cpp,Service_Manager.cpp,
          Svc_Conf.y,Svc_Conf_Tokens.h,Svc_Conf_y.cpp,
          Time_Request_Reply.cpp,Trace.cpp:
          added if NDEBUG protection to some local variables and
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG to some parameters to avoid compiler warnings
          when ACE_DEBUG is disabled.  Thanks to Faron Dutton
          <fdutton@avxus.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Makefile (Svc_Conf_Tokens.h): escaped $\I\d$ string so
          that it doesn't get expanded in the Makefile itself.

Sat Dec  5 16:06:27 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Local_Name_Space_T.cpp: Protected some of the ACE_DEBUG
          statements with a ACE::debug () check.

Fri Dec 04 13:46:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Stats.cpp (std_dev): fixed difference calculation so
          that it always calculates a non-negative value.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp
          (High_Priority_Synchronized_Task::svc): check if nsec is >=
          mutex_acquire_release_time, to avoid adding in negative
          context_switch_times.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h,
          include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU,
          include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: moved -DVXWORKS
          from platform_vxworks5.x_* files to config-vxworks5.x.h, to reduce
          command-line clutter a bit.

Fri Dec  4 12:45:04 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/tutorials/linify:
        * docs/tutorials/combine:
        * docs/tutorials/fixMakefile:
                Ensure that perms are 755 and that #!/.../perl is not used

Wed Dec 02 14:21:34 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (fstat): This function needs to close down the c handle
          opened by _open_osfhandle to avoid resource leaks on Win32.
          Thanks to Christian Korn <korn@gate.qaqa.com> for reporting
          this.

Tue Dec 01 13:48:51 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Added ACE_HAS_SIGWAIT.  Also added
          ifdef section to prevent threaded ACE from compiling on FreeBSD
          under 3.0 (excluded.)

Tue Dec  1 22:22:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.h: Added a comment to clarify the semantics of
          ACE_RW_Process_Mutex.  Thanks to Stanislav Meduna
          <stanom@etm.co.at> for reporting this.

Tue Dec 01 17:22:00 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/DLL_Test: Added the .dsp and tests.dsw to the
          repository.

        * tests/run_tests.bat: Added an entry for DLL_Test.

Tue Dec 01 13:54:35 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: added ESUCCESS definition (to 0), if not #defined.

Tue Dec 01 13:48:51 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Added ACE_HAS_SIGWAIT.  Also added
          ifdef section to prevent threaded ACE from compiling on FreeBSD
          under 3.0 (excluded.)

        * ace/OS.i (sigwait): FreeBSD 3.0 supports sigwait.  Changed the
          ifdef condition to support sigwait for 3.0 or above.  Thanks to
          Bob McWhirter <bob@werken.com> and Russell L. Carter
          <rcarter@dnstoo.consys.com> for helping to track this down.

Tue Dec 01 12:59:57 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

        * ace/IOStream_T.i (recv,recv_n): set errno to ESUCCESS
          because it was never being set to ETIME when the read timed
          out.  (Before entering the peer_->recv/recv_n, errno was
          ENOENT from previous activities and was the same after in
          both positive & negative tests until I did the reset.)
          (eof): cleaned up a bit.

          I tested against IOStream_Test for both positive and
          negative. For the positive test, I changed the sleep() at
          line 363 to a much larger value.  The client worked fine.
          For the negative test, I replaced the spleep() with a
          close() & return() pair.  The client saw the closure and
          exited as expected.

Tue Dec  1 08:55:48 PST 1998  James Hu  <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp:  Since type key_t might be something
          other than int (e.g., a long), some additional code was needed
          to support the sscanf.

Tue Dec 01 10:49:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Win32clerk.conf
          tests/Win32server.conf
          tests/Win32tokens.conf: removed explicit path for netsvcs dll, as
          this dll is now being moved to ACE_wrappers/bin after it is built
          and the explicit path was causing dlopen to fail rather than
          searching the path on NT, which caused Time_Service_Test to fail.

Tue Dec 01 10:07:48 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.5 released.

Tue Dec  1 00:07:05 PST 1998  James Hu  <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Containers_T.h:
        * ace/Containers_T.i:
          Fixed a bug introduced when someone genericized the creation
          strategy for ACE_DLList.  The removal routing had not been
          similarly genericized.  Thanks goes to Martin Krumpolec
          <krumpo@pobox.sk> for spotting the problem.


Mon Nov 30 19:10:23 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/Makefile:
        * examples/DLL/Makefile.Today:
        * examples/DLL/Makefile.Newsweek:

          Added the above makefiles. Makefile internally uses
          Makefile.Today and Makefile.Newsweek to build the libraries
          seperately.

Mon Nov 30 13:54:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp (handle_input): There
          was a friggin' bug in this code that is a violation of Reactor
          framework design rule #2, i.e., we were returning a non-0 value
          from handle_input(), which is a no-no...  Thanks to Steve Huston
          for reporting this.

Mon Nov 29 13:16:53 EST 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/tutorials/001/logger.h:
        * docs/tutorials/001/page04.html:
        * docs/tutorials/003/client.cpp:
        * docs/tutorials/003/page01.html:
        Added a blurb about the additional parameters to the recv(),
        recv_n(), send() and send_n() method calls of ACE_SOCK_Stream.

Sun Nov 29 22:14:32 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i,cpp (exit): with ACE_HAS_NON_STATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER,
          call ACE_Object_Manager::fini ().  Uninlined to avoid circular
          include problems with Object_Manager.h.  The ACE_Object_Manager
          instantiation on main's stack is not destroyed by ::exit (),
          so this addition causes the ACE_Object_Manager to be
          properly shutdown.  Thanks to Jeff Greif <jmg@trivida.com>
          for pointing out that automatic objects are not destroyed
          by ::exit ().

        * ace/Object_Manager.h: added Jeff Greif's ACE_OS::exit ()
          recommendations in comments.

Sun Nov 29 20:13:15 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/Today.cpp:
        * examples/DLL/Newsweek.cpp:

          Added ACE_BUILD_SVC_DLL and ACE_Svc_Export directives needed for the
          extern "C" create_magazine function.

Sun Nov 29 18:22:52 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Removed the use of
          "main_reactor".  The "main_reactor" was added to handle incoming
          connections because this test was not working correctly without
          moving out the acceptor to another reactor.  However, I recently
          found that the problem was actually due to the deadlocked
          notify_handler which I fixed a while back.

        * ace/OS.h: Added forward declarations of ACE_Time_Value's
          operator{+,-} so VC 6.0 won't get confused with the
          operator{+,-} in namespace std.  Thanks to Victor Yu
          <victor.yu@computechnics.com.au> for reporting this.

1998-11-29  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/007/page09.html:
        Added warnings about a possible core dump when an event handler
        exists in the thread pool's message queue after the handler has
        been destroyed.  Jeff Donner's <JDonner@schedsys.com> work with
        Tutorial 007 on Win32 lead to this discovery.

Sat NOv 28 20:02:08 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/Today.cpp:
        * examples/DLL/Newsweek.cpp:

          Added the #ifdef directive needed to seperate out the
          functionality on NT and UNIX platforms.

Sat NOv 28 20:02:08 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/Dll.dsw:
        * examples/DLL/Test_dll.dsp:
        * examples/DLL/Today.dsp:
        * examples/DLL/Newsweek.dsp:

          Added to the repository. The test successfully executes on NT.

        * examples/DLL/README: Modified to add information on how to
          execute this test example on NT.

Fri Nov 27 13:32:38 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/test_dll.cpp (main): Added right arguments to the
          ACE_ERROR_RETURN macro.

Thu Nov 26 21:04:05 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/Makefile:
        * examples/DLL/Today.{h,cpp}:
        * examples/DLL/Newsweek.{h,cpp}:
        * examples/DLL/Magazine.h:

          Placed the comments at the right place and added an descriptive
          header wherever missing in the .h files.

        * examples/DLL/test_dll.cpp (main): Added auto_ptr for the
          Magazine class object pointer.

        * examples/DLL/README: Added to the repository.

Wed Nov 25 02:02:32 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/DLL/Makefile:
        * examples/DLL/Today.{h,cpp}:
        * examples/DLL/Newsweek.{h,cpp}:
        * examples/DLL/Magazine.h:
        * examples/DLL/test_dll.cpp:

        Added these files. This test example shows how dynamically linked
        library objects can be loaded on demand and their methods accessed
        on getting an pointer to these objects.

Wed Nov 25 22:28:44 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/INET_Addr.cpp:
          Reverted the behavior to version 4.35, we don't use the first
          alias as the hostname, but the value returned in the h_name
          field.
          This change was to support TAO in our local site, but it caused
          many problems for other configurations of /etc/hosts and DNS. We
          found another workaround for our local site which makes more
          sense to the rest of the world.

Wed Nov 25 20:34:12 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/DLL_Test.cpp (main): Removed ACE_OS::strcat which was
          concatenating a string literal with a defined string.

Wed Nov 25 12:01:20 1998  Ossama Othman  <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu>

        * apps/gperf/gperf.texi:
        * apps/gperf/gperf.info:
        * apps/gperf/texinfo.tex:
        * apps/gperf/version.texi:

        updated gperf.texi to work with recent versions of makeinfo (e.g. 1.68,
        available in GNU texinfo-3.12).  Regenerated gperf.info with latest
        makeinfo (1.68).  Added texinfo.tex to make available certain TeX
        macros for texinfo to TeX converters.  Added version.texi to centralize
        gperf update dates and versions (gets included by gperf.texi).

Wed Nov 25 12:01:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp (main): fixed
          printouts by performing floating point division, instead of
          converted integer division to double.  Added checks of
          activate () return values.

        * ace/OS.cpp (sched_params,lwp_getparams,lwpsetparams): set
          LWP priority on Suns, even if only using the ACE_HAS_PTHREADS
          interface.  Though, we still don't get preemption if only using
          that interface.  performance-tests/Misc/preempt.cpp demonstrates
          that.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: removed ACE_LACKS_THREAD_PROCESS_SCOPING.
          DU 4.0 seems to have process scoping, though I think only
          the superuser can use it.

Wed Nov 25 10:48:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task.cpp: Fixed a bug whereby we weren't inheriting the
          group id correctly when joining a group of existing threads.
          Thanks to Valery Arkhangorodsky <avalery@balisoft.com> for
          pointing this out.

Tue Nov 24 03:50:09 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/DLL_Test.cpp: Renamed DLL_Wrapper_Test.cpp to
          DLL_Test.cpp. Also, added ACE_OBJ_SUFFIX which takes care of the
          object code convention on NT and UNIX platforms. Changed the
          messages in ACE_ERROR to come from ACE_DLL::error().
          This is a running version tested using CC compiler too.

Tue Nov 24 17:45:26 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Makefile: Added a LIBS +=
          $(ACELIB) to help this build on AIX.  Thanks to Jon Lindgren
          <jlindgren@SLK.com> for reporting this problem.

        * README: Added Jon Lindgren to the contributor's list.  Welcome, Jon!

Tue Nov 24 09:34:58 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus.GNU: added support for
          exceptions=0/1 make option.  Thanks to Wei Chiang for
          requesting this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: removed
          trailing / from MVME_DIR definition.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU: added
          optimize=1, to enable optimization by default.

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp (main):
          don't print suspend-resume results if the suspend-resume
          test isn't run (because thr_suspend isn't supported).
          Process command line options before calulating hi-res timer
          scale factor.

        * ace/OS.h: replaced ENOTSUP with EDEADLK in a comment,
          to fix a copy-and-paste error.

        * ace/Stats.* (mean): removed caching.  It didn't account for
          the fact that it could be called with different scale
          factors.  (std_dev): fixed sum_of_squares calculation to
          always use 64-bit arithmetic.  (print_summary): if the
          std dev calculation overflows, retry with smaller scale
          factor, until 0 is reached.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: replaced #include of ace/Auto_Ptr.h,
          because ACE_Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr is used.

Mon Nov 24 03:30:36 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/DLL_Wrapper_Test.cpp: Added a test example for the DLL
          wrapper class.

        * tests/Makefile: Added an entry for DLL_Wrapper_Test example.

Mon Nov 23 23:49:36 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.h: Made the default value of the close_on_destruction
          equal to 1.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (~ACE_DLL): Checked whether the member variable,
          close_on_destruction_ is non-zero instead of comparing it to 1.

Mon Nov 23 21:14:22 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.h (ACE_DLL): Set the default of close_on_destruction to
          1 instead of 0.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (~ACE_DLL): In the close operation, made a check for
          whether the close_on_destruction_ flag was equal to 1 instead of
          0.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (get_handle): Made the close_on_destruction_ flag
          equal to 0 when it gets orphaned as now the new owner has to
          explicitly close the library.

Mon Nov 23 20:29:52 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL: Cleaned up the comments and also fixed an unnecessary
          check to see if dll_name == 0.

Mon Nov 23 10:20:22 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.h: Added a comment which specified that by default the
          library would be closed before the ACE_DLL object gets
          destroyed.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (get_handle): Changed the value for the member
          variable, close_on_destruction_ to 1 on orphaning the handle
          and giving it to the new owner.

Mon Nov 23 17:14:40 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp (open): It is even
          more neat to do this for faking the result.
          // <complete> for Accept would have already moved the <wr_ptr>
          // forward. Update it to the beginning position.
          duplicate.wr_ptr (duplicate.wr_ptr () - bytes_transferred);

Mon Nov 23 17:16:46 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Set the value of ACE_SHLIB_INVALID_HANDLE to 0 for HP.
          Thanks to Steve Huston <shuston@riverace.com> for providing this
          information.

Mon Nov 23 16:16:26 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: Updated the code to
        show that adjusting wr_ptr () to the place of rd_ptr () is the
        better way to fake results properly. Thanks to "James A. Risinger"
        <james@tsunami.com> for reporting this problem.

Mon Nov 23 12:58:47 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/ASX/Message_Queue,
          tests:
          Replaced the improper (though technically correct) use of the
          rd_ptr() with wr_ptr().  Thanks to Susan Liebeskind
          <susan.liebeskind@gtri.gatech.edu> for reporting this.

Mon Nov 23 10:47:38 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/generate_man_pages: added this script, which generates
          the ACE man and html pages.

        * Makefile (release): added call to bin/generate_man_pages.

Sun Nov 22 22:58:39 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SPIPE_Addr.h: Replaced the use of an anonymous struct so
          that class2man will be happy.  Thanks to David Levine for
          reporting this.

Sun Nov 22 22:07:04 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Functor*: removed trailing // EOF because class2man choked
          on it.

Sun Nov 22 14:36:26 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp (open): Updated the
          test to show the correct way to 'fake' <complete> call.

Sun Nov 22 13:57:28 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile: Added Env_Value_T to the TEMPLATE_FILES macro in
          the Makefile.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

Sat Nov 21 14:32:53 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL: Cleaned up the DLL logic to handle "close on
          destruction" properly.

Sat Nov 21 08:34:44 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: added ACE_LACKS_IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, for internal
          use only.  If IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP isn't defined, ACE defines
          ACE_LACKS_IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP for subsequent use in
          determining whether to define ip_mreq.

        * bin/html-windex: updated to match Doug's ~/bin version.

Fri Nov 20 00:58:35 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.h (ACE_DLL): Added a new constructor which allows auto
          opening of the dynamically linked library.

        * ace/DLL.h (get_handle): Added a method which returns teh handle
          to the user.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (ACE_DLL): Added the auto-open feature taking care
          of more than one open calls.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (get_handle): The orphan flag decides whether the
          handle is orphaned or given to the user temporarily.

        * ace/DLL.cpp (open): Added a check so that a already existing
          handle is closed before the next open is done.

Fri Nov 20 23:40:12 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/00[567]/client_handler.cpp :
        * docs/tutorials/00[56]/page0[45].html
        * docs/tutorials/007/page0[56].html
        Rework the interaction of handle_input(), handle_close() and
        close().  I had this all wrong by making handle_close() invoke
        remove_handler() when it was unnecessary.

Fri Nov 20 22:12:03 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile: Added an entry for DLL.{h,cpp}.

Fri Nov 20 15:49:04 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added ACE_SHLIB_INVALID_HANDLE which is used to
          indicate a invalid shared library handle.

        * examples/Reactor/WFMO_Reactor/test_handle_close.cpp: This
          application tests whether handle_close() gets called and if the
          correct masks are passed along.  The handler should get
          handle_close() called for all three masks (READ, WRITE, and
          EXCEPT).

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (remove_handler_i,
          remove_suspended_handler_i, and remove_to_be_added_handler_i):
          There was a bug in WFMO_Reactor where handle_close() was not
          called when it is not a complete removal. Added a call to
          handle_close() for all the masks that were removed.  Note that
          partial removals do not change the state of the internal tables
          of the reactor.

        * ace/OS.i (recvfrom): There is a bug in the Win32 implementation
          of this function.  It reports an error (with errno=WSAEMSGSIZE),
          even MSG_PEEK is specified, when the message was too large to
          fit into the specified buffer and was truncated.  So we fixed it
          by returning the length of the recv request when
          errno=WSAEMSGSIZE and the MSG_PEEK flag was specified.

Fri Nov 20 11:15:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: changed comment to use
          -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS to specify POSIX threads only.
          Just commenting out ACE_HAS_STHREADS in insufficient.
          See the Intro (3) man page for information on
          -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS; it's the Sun-recommended
          way to specify use of POSIX threads.  Thanks to
          Rich Christy <rchristy@cccis.com> for pointing out that
          removal of ACE_HAS_STHREADS doesn't work.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added notes on thread flavors on Solaris.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_g++.GNU: added support
          for threads=0.

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): added static cast of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
          to size_t, to avoid signed/unsigned comparison on
          g++ 2.7.2.3/Solaris86 2.6.

Thu Nov 19 23:04:37 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Functor.h (ACE_Command_Base): Added missing ACE_Export.

Thu Nov 19 18:01:00 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

         * ace/DLL.cpp (ACE_DLL): Made base-member initialisation change
           to member variable close_mode_.

Thu Nov 19 10:28:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_time.cpp: fixed 64-to-32
          bit casts to work with unsigned 64 bit ACE_hrtime_t on NT.

Wed Nov 18 20:56:38 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.{cpp,h} (ACE_DLL): Added the close-on-destruction
          feature in the constructor of the ACE_DLL class.

Thu Nov 19 00:18:26 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (strnstr): Added a check to see if the substring is
          longer than the string being searched. Fixed both the char and
          wchar_t versions in OS.i and the ACE_USHORT16 version in
          SString.cpp. Thanks to Knut Johannessen <knutj@funcom.com> for
          pointing out the bug and providing a fix.

        * ace/SString.i (find): The argument to strnstr() should be the
          length of <s> instead of <this->len_ - pos>.

        * tests/SString_Test.cpp (main): Added tests to make sure that
          find() and strstr() work even when the substring is longer that
          the original string.

        * ace/Timeprobe_T.h (ACE_Timeprobe): Added accessors to the class
          so that the user can get to the internals.  This allows the
          users to format the output of collecting the timeprobes
          according to their liking.

Wed Nov 18 15:51:42 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h (ACE_UINT64_DBLCAST_ADAPTER): on other
          than Win32 and without ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T, wrapped the
          "n" macro definition with parenthesis, to avoid insidious
          errors in equations due to removing the grouping.  g++ 2.7.2.3
          noticed this on the latest context_switch_time.cpp.

        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp (cleanup_hint): fixed ACE_TRACE string.

        * *.cpp: changed include protection from #if !defined to ifndef.
          Added #pragma once, if possible, i.e., after #include of
          an ace/ header.  It can only be done after ace/config.h
          is included, because some platforms don't allow #pragma once.

Wed Nov 18 15:54:09 EST 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/007/client_handler.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/007/page06.html

          Jeff Donner (jdonner@schedsys.com) points out that Susan Liebskind's
          fix to Tutorial 6 should also be applied to this one.

          The fix is:
          Don't call baseclass close() from Client_handler::close().  Doing
          so will result in double-delete of the handler object.

Wed Nov 18 00:25:08 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/DLL.{h,cpp} (ACE_DLL):
          Wrapper for dynamically linked library operations.

Tue Nov 17 11:15:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/version_tests/RB_Tree_Test.dsp
          tests/version_tests/version_tests.dsw : created RB_Tree_Test project
          for NT version tests and added it to version tests workspace.

Tue Nov 17 10:15:10 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (resize_i): Made sure the new elements in
          resize_i get constructed properly so we can use more complex
          classes with it.  Thanks to Knut Johannessen <knutj@funcom.com>
          for providing the patch.  Also changed to use copy constructor
          to move data across rather than construct/assign pair.

Tue Nov 17 09:37:32 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: removed
          ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR because it caused compilation
          failure with egcs 1.0.2.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h: added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR,
          with egcs >= 1.1 only.  Thanks to James Johnson for helping
          to sort this out.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: moved ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR
          from common area to DEC CXX area, because config-g++-common.h now
          handles g++.

        * ace/IOStream_T.i (eof): fixed return value calculation
          logic.  Thanks to Arturo and James Johnson for providing
          and verifying the fix.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_ghs.GNU:
          added -DVXWORKS to CFLAGS, because GHS 1.8.9 needs it.
          (GHS 1.8.8 had a built-in processor define for it.  Adding
          -DVXWORKS doesn't seem to bother 1.8.8.)  Thanks to Steve
          Kay <slk1@icore.ih.lucent.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.h: even if ACE_HAS_IP_MULTICAST is not defined, if
          IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP is defined, assume that the ip_mreq struct
          is also defined (presumably in netinet/in.h).  This allows
          compilation to succeed on GHS 1.8.9/VxWorks.  Thanks to
          Steve Kay <slk1@icore.ih.lucent.com> for reporting it.

Tue Nov 17 09:12:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SString.{h, i}: added < , > operators to string classes

        * apps/JAWS/PROTOTYPE/HTTPU/http_headers.cpp
          tests/RB_Tree_Test.cpp: added missing template instantiations

        * tests/Makefile
          tests/run_tests.sh : added RB_Tree test to UNIX makefile, test script

Mon Nov 16 17:55:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Functor_T.{h, i}
          ace/RB_Tree.{cpp, h, i} : added less-than comparison functor
          (aka function object aka GOF Command Pattern) to allow ACE_RB_Tree
          to be used with key types that do not support a < operator.
          Thanks to Mark De Jong <mdj@intervu.net> for reporting the less-than
          problem and suggesting part of the solution.  Also cleaned up class
          naming and comments to conform to ACE coding standards, fixed an
          access violation that occurred when deleting items from a tree.

        * tests/RB_Tree_Test.{cpp, dsp}
          tests/run_tests.bat
          tests.dsw:                    Added a test to verify correct tree
          behavior under insertion and deletion for different key and item
          types and insertion orders.

        * apps/JAWS/PROTOTYPE/HTTPU/http_headers.{cpp, h}: Changed type names
          for ACE_RB_Tree and associated classes.

Sun Nov 15 16:34:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h,config-linux-common.h:  added
          ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_DESTRUCTOR #define.  Thanks to
          James Johnson for reporting that it is necessary.

        * ace/config-kcc-common.h: removed commented-out
          ACE_HAS_BROKEN_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_DESTRUCTOR #define.

Sun Nov 15 12:40:35 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        *  docs/tutorials/018/*
        *  docs/tutorials/online-tutorials.html
        A new tutorial on ACE_Token.

Sun Nov 15 12:10:39 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/013/*

        A few more tweeks now that the sun is up.  Mostly simple
        documentation changes but a couple of cleanups on the code as well.

Sat Nov 14 23:15:58 EST 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/013/message_queue.cpp
          docs/tutorials/013/block.cpp
          docs/tutorials/013/block.h
          docs/tutorials/013/combine.shar
          docs/tutorials/013/*.html

        Something changed between 4.5.x and 4.6 with the calling
        order for ACE_Lock_Adapter<>::release() and ::destroy().

        Specifically:  In the older release, the data block's
        lock was being held across its destruction.  That required
        some odd things to prevent the lock's deletion until it
        was released.

        In the new version, it appears that release() is called
        on the lock before the data block's destructor is called.
        Data_Block::Lock::destroy() can now simply 'delete this'
        The funky destroy_ flag is no longer necessary.

        Thanks to Bob McWhirter <bob@werken.com> for causing me
        to look back on this and get it fixed.

        I've also taken this opportunity to convert the tutorial
        to the new style colorized HTML.

Sat Nov 14 22:01:52 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release (diff): fixed logic that determines
          when to use ../diffs/ instead of diffs/.  Thanks to
          Doug for reporting this.

Sat Nov 14 14:21:49 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.4 released.

Fri Nov 13 12:03:18 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h:
          Under some versions of IRIX 6.X the readdir_r() prototype does
          not show up unless threads support (actually POSIX1c support) is
          enabled. I've change the config file to only use readdir_r() if
          threads are enabled. Thanks to Bob Olson <olson@mcs.anl.gov> for
          reporting this problem.

Fri Nov 13 08:55:18 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Pipe_Test,Process_Mutex_Test.cpp: wrapped some variables
          and functions with #ifndef ACE_LACKS_FORK, to avoid warnings
          on g++/VxWorks.

Thu Nov 12 09:07:28 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: use ../diffs if building ace+tao kit, so
          we no longer need a ../diffs symlink in TAO directory.  Thanks
          to Hans Rohnert <rohnert@scr.siemens.com> for motivating this.

        * ace/README: removed ACE_LACKS_STREAM_MODULES.  Thanks to
          Ossama for reporting that it's no longer used.

Wed Nov 11 23:11:15 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/ACEutils.pm: Updated to include $EXEPREFIX, which is used
          in front of executables in the run_test.pl's.

Wed Nov 11 01:08:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added a link to Ossama's ACE Configuration
          Project.

Tue Nov 10 22:29:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.3 released.

Tue Nov 10 22:24:59 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/tutorials: Integrated Umar's code examples from
          the ACE programmers manual.

Tue Nov 10 21:53:01 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp: added const to loop index, in CHORUS code.

Tue Nov 10 19:27:32 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.[i,cpp]:
          Added checks for ACE_HAS_WINNT4 != 0 when checking for
          ACE_HAS_WINNT4 like we do elsewhere.  Thanks to Valery
          Arkhangorodsky <avalery@balisoft.com> for pointing this out.

Tue Nov 10 14:56:38 EST 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/index.html
          Including #17 now

        * docs/tutorials/017/*.html
          docs/tutorials/017/combine.shar
          Completed!  Commented and converted into standared Tutorial format.

Tue Nov 10 10:09:06 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): replaced hard-coded "/" with
          ACE_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR_STR.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: removed ACE_HAS_VERBOSE_NOTSUP #define.
          Thanks to Margherita Vittone Wiersma <vittone@fndaub.fnal.gov> and
          Ramiro Penataro Blanco <penataro@ll.iac.es> for complaining
          about it.

Mon Nov  9 23:27:59 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/ASX/Message_Queue/buffer_stream.cpp (main): Fixed an
          off-by-one bug.  Thanks to Rainer Blome
          <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com> for reporting this.

Mon Nov 09 21:31:56 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): prepended "./" to name of
          file to spawn.  With the last round of changes to
          ace/Process.cpp, that's necessary if "." isn't in the user's
          PATH.  That's because we're now using only execvp, and no
          longer using execve.

        * tests/Atomic_Op_Test.cpp,Barrier_Test.cpp,Buffer_Stream_Test.cpp,
          Future_Test.cpp,IOStream_Test.cpp,MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp,
          Map_Manager_Test.cpp,Message_Block_Test.cpp,
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp,Notify_Performance_Test.cpp,
          Pipe_Test.cpp,Priority_Buffer_Test.cpp,Priority_Task_Test.cpp,
          Process_Mutex_Test.cpp,Reactor_Exceptions_Test.cpp,

          Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp,Thread_Pool_Test.cpp,
          Tokens_Test.cpp,UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp,Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp,
          XtReactor_Test.cpp:
          changed Log_Priority of "not supported" messages to LM_INFO.
          Hopefully, it will help avoid confusion, especially among
          new ACE users.  Thanks to Gonzo for suggesting this.

        * tests/run_tests.sh: added ACE version number printouts.

        * BUG-REPORT-FORM: added phase (compilation/linking/execution/other),
          and ACE+TAO/application/both.

Mon Nov  9 02:52:11 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Signal.cpp: handle_close() wasn't being called when
          handle_signal() returns -1.  It is now...  Thanks to Vicentini
          Emanuele <arena.sci.univr.it> for reporting this.

        * ace/Event_Handler.h (ACE_Event_Handler): Added a SIGNAL_MASK so
          that we can pass this to handle_close() when handle_signal()
          returns -1.

        * README: Fixed a typo where ACE-install.html was misspelled as
          ACE-Install.  Thanks to Michael Thomas
          <Michael.Thomas@Australia.Boeing.com> for reporting this.

Sun Nov 08 22:00:22 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.h: changed ACE_Message_Type to int, to
          avoid overload ambiguity when it's unsigned.

Sun Nov  8 10:42:38 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.h: Changed the ACE_Message_Type from being an
          enum to being an ACE_UINT32 so that it's easier for users to add
          their own message types to an ACE_Message_Queue.  Thanks to
          Martin Krumpolec <krumpo@pobox.sk> for this suggestion and to
          David Levine for catching that it should be an ACE_UINT32.

Fri Nov  6 23:08:16 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp (spawn): Set result correctly when execvp() is
          called.  Also, make sure to check for putenv() failing.  Thanks
          to David Levine for pointing this out.

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp: Reformatted the test a bit.

Fri Nov 06 22:41:21 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp (spawn): initialized local "result" to 0
          to avoid egcs warning about possible unitialized use.  Added
          const to loop index to avoid egcs warning about discarding
          const.

        * ace/OS.h,Basic_Types.h: moved ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER from
          OS.h to Basic_Types.h, because other 64-bit int support is
          there.  Changed default ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER to
          "%llu", because that's what Solaris 2.x uses.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h,ace/config-linux-common.h: added
          ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER overrides.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): added ACE_U_LongLong support.

Fri Nov  6 13:29:11 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER): Changed
          #define ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER "%I64d"

          to:

          #define ACE_UINT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER "%I64u"

          to handle the signed/unsigned stuff correctly.  Thanks Zoran!

        * ace/Process.cpp (spawn): Replaced the use of execve() with
          execvp() by copying the environment variables manually first.
          Thanks to Avi Nash for this fix.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): Added support for a `%Q' format specifier
          to the log() method.  This prints out quad words, i.e.,
          ACE_UINT64's.  Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic <zorani@pathcom.com> for
          contributing this.

        * Updated the "site map" for ACE so that it doesn't use absolute
          links.  Thanks to Rainer Blome <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com> for
          contributing this.

        * ace/Process.h: Clarified the behavior of ACE_Process and
          ACE_Process_Options on UNIX because of the use of execve(),
          which doesn't search the path.  Thanks to Avi Nash for reporting
          this.

Fri Nov 06 15:01:20 1998  Rainer Blome <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: augmented to make, run, and discard
          each test for which it doesn't find an executable.

          Thus, if you first say make to build the executables, all tests
          will just run (or not ;-), nothing is changed.

          If you start run_tests.sh without having built the executables,
          it will make, run and discard the tests one by one instead.
          Any compiler output goes to log/compilation.log.

Fri Nov 06 12:58:24 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Removed several superfluous parens so
          the code looks clearer and less error-prone.

1998-11-06  James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/tutorials/013/block.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/013/page05.html
        * docs/tutorials/015/Compressor.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/Crypt.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/Recv.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/Xmit.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/*.html
          Susan Liebeskind (susan.liebeskind@gtri.gatech.edu) discovered
          that you can't use the 'inherited' typedef to initialize a
          baseclass if you use the AIX C++ compiler.

Fri Nov 06 08:57:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Mem_Map_Test.cpp (reverse_file): put the volatile
          qualifier back in.  LynxOS 3.0.0/PowerPC needs it with -O2
          and without ACE_HAS_INLINE.

        * VERSION: added reference to BUG-REPORT-FORM.  Thanks to
          Peter Nordlund <petern@nada.kth.se> for providing the new
          text.

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (unsubscribe): fixed ACE_TRACE
          string.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note on possibly having to change
          -G to -shared in platform_macro.GNU's SOFLAGS with GNU linker.
          Thanks to Andy Gokhale and James Megquier <jmegq@bbn.com> for
          reporting this.  If anyone knows of an automagic fix, that would
          be appreciated.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note on how to enable IP multicast on
          LynxOS.

Thu Nov  5 23:10:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (wait_task): Fixed a wrong parenthesis
          pair.  Thanks to Bob McWhirter <bob@werken.com> for figuring
          this out.

Thu Nov  5 21:41:26 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/017
          Began the ACE_Barrier tutorial.  So far, it's just code but I'll
          add the usual heavy comments & commentary in the next few days or
          so.  I'll update the docs/tutorials/index.html after that.

Thu Nov  5 14:42:59 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Cleaned up a typo in the ACE-INSTALL.html
          file.  Thanks to James Megquier <jmegq@bbn.com> for reporting
          this.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: Cleaned up the comments a bit to make it
          more clear how to enable/disable threads.  Thanks to Russ
          Noseworthy <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Stream.h: Clarified some subtleties with subclassing from
          ACE_Stream.  Thanks to Stephen Coy for reminding me of this.

        * include/makeinclude: Updated the platform_linux_kcc.GNU file.
          Thanks to Joseph Weihs <joseph-w@Orbotech.Co.IL> for reporting
          this.

        * ACE.FAQ.html: Pointed out that ACE is Y2K compliant.  Thanks to
          Fredrik Lindahl <fredrik.lindahl@ausys.se> for suggesting this.

Thu Nov 05 13:23:29 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: default VERSION
          to 3.0.0.  We no longer build/test for LynxOS 2.5.0.  Added
          usage comments.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: for LynxOS, added link to platform_lynxos.GNU
          file, for usage information.  Replaced some absolute paths in
          URLs with relative paths.

Wed Nov  4 23:28:55 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Stream.h: Made all the methods of ACE_Stream virtual to
          enable subclasses.  Thanks to Bob McWhirter's for this
          suggestion.

Tue Nov  3 16:06:23 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Logger/simple-server: Fixed the server so that it shuts
          down cleanly when ^C is given.  Thanks to Avi Nash
          <anash@RedBrick.COM> for reporting this.

Tue Nov 03 13:17:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,i,cpp} (thread_desc_self): Changed this
          method to an inline function.  Removed outdated comments and
          instead of searching thru the list when the current thread's
          descriptor is not found in TSS cache, place an assertion there
          for this should never happen.  Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum
          <Terry.Rosenbaum@Radiology.MSU.edu> for motivating the change.

Mon Nov  2 22:54:08 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32.h:
        * ace/config-win32-common.h:
          Only define ACE_LACKS_RECVMSG/SENDMSG for non-WinSock2 systems.
          Before, it was being defined for all non-NT configurations.
          Thanks to Irfan for suggesting this change.

Mon Nov  2 18:18:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Dgram/CODgram.cpp,
          examples/Reactor/Dgram/Dgram.cpp:
          Fixed these programs so that they will work across
          processes/machines, as well as within the same process.  Thanks
          to Larry <larry@paradigmsim.com> for reporting this.

        * Added a "site map" for ACE.  Thanks to Rainer Blome
          <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com> for contributing this.

Mon Nov  2 18:13:29 EST 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/ACE-FMM.html
          Updated from Bob's <bob@netwrench.com> latest.

Mon Nov 02 11:22:30 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.{h,cpp}: Renamed Acceptor_Handler to
          Request_Handler to better reflect what the class actually does.

        * docs/ACE-categories.html: Fixed erroneous html tags.  Thanks to
          Rainer Blome <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com> for reporting this.

Mon Nov 02 00:26:59 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Since connectors really don't have any state, they don't
          need to inherit from the SAP classes. Therefore, modified the
          following to be simpler:

          TLI_Connector
          DEV_Connector
          SPIPE_Connector
          UPIPE_Connector

Sun Nov 01 21:18:24 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (upcall): Before handle_input is called
          because of FD_CLOSE, we check the return value of handle_input
          because of FD_READ. If the user had returned -1, we won't call
          handle_input again.  Thanks to Gonzalo Diethelm
          <Gonzalo.Diethelm@jda.cl> for suggesting this change.

        * examples/Reactor/WFMO_Reactor/test_network_events.cpp
          (handle_input): Changed this method to keep reading from the
          socket until EWOULDBLOCK occurs.

Sun Nov  1 17:32:50 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp (run_test): Oops, we need to
          account for compilers that lack template specialization!  Thanks
          to David Levine for reporting this.

Sun Nov 01 17:24:56 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-borland.h,config-win32-common.h,README:
          removed ACE_LACKS_STL_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_PARAMETER because
          it's no longer used.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

Sun Nov 01 08:54:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.2 released.

Sat Oct 31 18:12:36 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Hash_Map_Manager_Test.cpp (run_test): updated the test to
          validate that the trybind() operation works correctly.  Thanks
          to Bill Fulton <fultonb@pcnet1.ascs.aro.allied.com> for this
          fix.

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp: trybind() was doing the "Wrong
          Thing"[TM] by overwritting the INT_ID even if the entry was
          already in the map!  It's fixed now...  Thanks to Bill Fulton
          <fultonb@pcnet1.ascs.aro.allied.com> for reporting this.

Sat Oct 31 17:15:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6.1 released.

1998-10-31  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (dispatch): Added signal_occurred at
          the right return to indicate that a handle_signal () has been
          dispatched.

Fri Oct 30 20:31:27 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Cleaned up the #if's to make it easier
          to understand, and fixed a related problem.  Thanks to
          Ossama for finding this.

Fri Oct 30 15:47:39 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (dispatch): Make sure to include a
          count of 1 if the Reactor dispatched a handle_signal() method.
          This ensures we don't return 0 from handle_events() in cases
          where we didn't timeout...  Thanks to Naga for chasing this
          down!

Fri Oct 30 11:53:16 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: removed ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM #define because
          it caused a seg fault in Reactor_Notify_Test on
          g++ 2.7.2.3/Solaris86 (with -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
          -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D__EXTENSIONS__).  The seg fault is
          at the end of the test:

          #0  0xdfd5a809 in realfree ()
          #1  0xdfd5ad16 in cleanfree ()
          #2  0xdfd5a43a in _malloc_unlocked ()
          #3  0xdfd5a2e9 in malloc ()
          #4  0xdfd61a25 in _strdup ()
          #5  0xdfeffcd5 in ACE_Log_Msg::log (this=0x8052ec0,
              format_str=0x804f0af "(%P|%t) Ending %s test at %D\n",
              log_priority=<error type>,
              argp=0x80476ac "\n�ð\004\b�Ô�À�ÿ�ß\177\023\004\b�Ôv\004\b�§�¹\004\b\001")
              at /export/home/conga/levine/ACE_wrappers/ace/OS.i:1399
          #6  0xdfeffbfa in ACE_Log_Msg::log (this=0x8052ec0,
              log_priority=<error type>,
              format_str=0x804f0ac "d\n") at Log_Msg.cpp:601
          #7  0x804c935 in main () at Reactor_Notify_Test.cpp:297

          It's hard to imagine how ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM could cause that.
          But, it's perfectly repeatable.  And, we can live without
          ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM.

        * tests/run_tests.sh: really commented out Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.
          It _wasn't_ commented out in the 4.6 release.

        * tests/Mem_Map_Test.cpp (reverse_file): removed volatile
          qualifier because it no longer seems to be necessary for LynxOS
          3.0.0/PowerPC.

Fri Oct 30 09:23:55 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SString.h: Cleaned up the ACE_SString comments to be more
          helpful.  Thanks to Ivan Murphy <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de> for
          motivating this.

Thu Oct 29 22:19:19 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/ACE-FMM.html:
          Updated from Bob's latest version.  Thanks Bob!

Thu Oct 29 21:13:41 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/016/Condition_i.cpp:
          Fixed messed-up the signature on
            Condition::operator Condition::value_t(void)

Thu Oct 29 18:51:19 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE.cpp: Added "|| defined (_AIX)" to decision to do
          template instantiations at end of file.  Thanks to Ian
          Wright <I.Wright@elsevier.co.uk> for this fix.

        * ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h: Added ability to use g++ in addition to xlC.
          Thanks again to Ian Wright for this addition.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_aix_g++.GNU: New platform_macros file
          for building on AIX with g++.  And, once again, thanks to Ian Wright
          for this contribution.

        * ace/NT_Service.i: Added ACE_INLINE to the methods in this file.
          Thanks to Goran Lowkrantz <Goran.Lowkrantz@infologigruppen.se>
          for this fix.

Thu Oct 29 17:36:29 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Semaphore_Test: Removed the timed acquire stuff from
          the worker thread and the display at the end of the test.
          Now it shouldn't output the confusing "100% of threads
          timed out" message on platforms without timed acquire.

Thu Oct 29 15:25:19 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp (open): Added a trailing newline to the
          error message.

Thu Oct 29 15:13:07 EST 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/index.html
        * docs/tutorials/016/*
          Added Tutorial 016.  This discusses ACE_Condition<> and ways
          to make it more manageable in an application.

Thu Oct 29 11:44:21 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h: changed ACE_THREAD_POSIX_SEM to
          ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM.  It looked like a typo.
          Only #define ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM if _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS is
          #defined.  Thanks to Ossama for help with this.

          Also, removed ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_STD because it's
          #defined in config-sunos5.5.h.

Wed Oct 28 14:30:01 1998  Rainer Blome <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com>

        * ace/Makefile: added AIX_TEMPLATE_HACK support.
          This patch helps using Rob Jordan's trick described in the
          ACE-INSTALL file.  The existing description in the ACE-INSTALL
          is a little misleading.  Creating a ACE_All_Tmp.h will not
          really help, because the Makefile will look for a ACE_All_Tmp.cpp.

          Here's how to use the patch:

          Use `make ACE_All' to create 0_ACE_All_Src.h, 0_ACE_All_Src.cpp and
          0_ACE_All_Tmp.cpp.  These files contain include directives for each
          of the files mentioned in the makefile variables FILES and
          TEMPLATE_FILES.  Then `make AIX_TEMPLATE_HACK=1' to compile the
          library in one go.  Compilation is fast then, but `ar' will still
          take a long time.

Wed Oct 28 09:13:10 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: expanded discussion of non-static
          ACE_Object_Manager, including the fact that it's the
          default config on Win32 and VxWorks.  And that not
          declaring main () with two arguments will lead to
          link failure due to unresolved ace_main_i.

        * tests/Time_Service_Test.cpp,Tokens_Test.cpp: display
          filename if ACE_Process::spawn () fails.

        * tests/run_tests.sh: only run Time_Service_Test if
          ../netsvcs/server/main exists.  Also, exit if a command
          line argument is provided to run_tests.sh, and the argument
          is not a Chorus hostname.

        * ace/Object_Manager.h: declare the ACE_Object_Manager_Base
          methods to be public, instead of protected, for DEC CXX 5.6
          (in addition to Diab for PSoS).  Thanks to Doug Anderson
          <doug@clark.net> for suggesting this.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: removed ACE_HAS_TIMER_SKEW.  Thanks
          to Russ Noseworthy <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for verifying
          that it no longer seems to be necessary.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: added ACE_HAS_PROCFS.

Tue Oct 27 22:14:18 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.6 released.

Tue Oct 27 21:54:17 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * man: Added the ACE_Service_Repository_Iterator.{html,3} files.
          Thanks to Erik Koerber <erik.koerber@siemens.at> for reporting
          this.

        * Updated the manual pages to reflect the latest APIs in
          the new release.

Tue Oct 27 14:16:27 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/015/Recv.cpp : Changed atoi() to ACE_OS::atoi()
        * docs/tutorials/015/page22.html:  Ensure that the correct cpp
          and header files are HREF'd

          Thanks to Susan Leibeskind <shl@cc.gatech.edu> for catching these.

Tue Oct 27 12:31:28 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): Made sure the broadcaster always gets
          signaled no matter what the "wait" function return if this is
          the last waiter for this cv.  In any case, the calling thread is
          no longer waiting on the cv any more.

Tue Oct 27 08:22:41 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32.h: fixed typo in comment:
          ACE_DOESNT_INSTANTIATE_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER instead of
          ACE_DONT_INSTANTIATE_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER.  Thanks to
          Olivier Lau <olivier_lau@srtelecom.com> for reporting this.

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp (test_timeout_count,test_timeout):
          put these in #ifndef STHREADS && #ifndef POSIX_SEM protection
          to avoid compiler warnings about unused variable/function.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: added comment to comment out
          ACE_HAS_REGEX if there are link problems with g++ or egcs on
          SunOS 5.5.  Thanks to Hakan Kallberg <hk@simulina.se> for
          reporting this.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added Sun C++ version/patchlevel information,
          including a link to Sun's tech patches home patch.  Thanks to
          Susan for recommending this, and for providing the URL.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note about segfault when attempting to
          register a signal handler on LynxOS 3.0.0/PowerPC.

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (fini): added check of
          instance_->shutting_down_ on entry.  This will avoid
          reentrance if fini () is called before the Object_Manager
          is (explicitly) destroyed.  Thanks to Gonzo for reporting it.

Tue Oct 27 05:47:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.65 released.

Tue Oct 27 03:24:36 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TP_Reactor.h: Added an description for TP_Reactor.

        * ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): When emulating cv, there're chances
          that the "wait for being signaled" function times out and return
          an error.  In this rare case, we must also signal the
          broadcasting thread to bail out of cond_broadcast to avoid
          deadlock since we are no longer waiting on the cv anymore.
          Thanks to Detlef Becker <Detlef.Becker@med.siemens.de> for
          noticing the problem and providing the patch.

Mon Oct 26 20:59:15 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.{i,cpp} (ACE_Lock_Adapter): uninlined the
          ACE_Lock_Adapter default constructor.  SunPRO C++ 4.2 + patch
          104631-07 has trouble compiling TAO with it inline.
          Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum <Terry.Rosenbaum@Radiology.MSU.edu>
          for tracking this problem down and providing the fix.

Mon Oct 26 18:33:28 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Updated the dependencies in all the Makefiles, this was required
          after the new Message_Block_T.{h,i,cpp} files.

Mon Oct 26 19:16:27 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/000/index.html: This index is has a layout
        similar to Umar's ACE Tutorial document.  As time progresses, we
        will be merging the examples in his document into the online
        tutorials.  The current free-form tutorials will not go away but
        will be supplimented with Umar's more structured approach.

Mon Oct 26 17:37:55 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/config-sunos5.4-sunc++-4.x.h:
        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h:
          Sun/CC throws the ::xalloc exception when operator new cannot
          allocate the memory, thanks to Terry Rosenbaum
          <Terry.Rosenbaum@Radiology.MSU.edu> for reporting this and
          providing a patch.

        * ace/Makefile:
          Updated dependencies.

Mon Oct 26 17:02:48 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Reduced the number of
          connector threads _ONLY_ on platforms that couldn't handle too
          many simultaneous connection.

          Changed to use dotted-decimal format to specify connection
          endpoint for some platforms don't have a decent DNS support.

Mon Oct 26 12:04:10 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_lib.dsp: Added TP_Reactor into the project.

Mon Oct 26 11:29:55 1998  Darrell E. Brunsch  <brunsch@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Changed behavior for ACE_HAS_STHREADS
          and ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM so it still tests everything but doesn't
          test the timed waits.

Mon Oct 26 08:22:18 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added recommendation and
          explanation re. use of #pragma once.

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: recommend avoiding g++ 2.8.1.

        * tests/SV_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp: don't try to run this
          test if ACE_LACKS_FORK, because it uses ACE_OS::fork ().
          It allocates the shared memory segment before the fork,
          of course, so that was leaked if the fork was attempted
          but failed.

        * tests/Pipe_Test.cpp,Process_Mutex_Test.cpp: don't try
          to run these tests if ACE_LACKS_FORK, either.

        * tests/Mem_Map_Test.cpp (reverse_file): use a local, volatile
          variable for the array index.  Without it, the test core dumps
          on LynxOS 3.0.0/PowerPC with -O2.

        * tests/run_tests.sh: run Timer_Queue_Test and Upgradeable_RW_Test
          on LynxOS.

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks: changed
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp to
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.

Mon Oct 26 01:49:44 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): Changed argv and envp to type
          LPTSTR[].

Sun Oct 25 23:52:40 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.64 released.

Sun Oct 25 22:18:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (dispatch): Be more careful in how we
          handle dispatching when signals occur.  In general, if we're
          interrupted by a non-Reactor-aware signal handler we need to
          bail out...  Thanks to Naga for reporting this.

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/test_signals_1.cpp: Cleaned up this test
          so that it'll show off the signal handling capabilities of the
          ACE Reactor better.

Sun Oct 25 14:13:31 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i: Changed ACE_OS::sigaction to work with a null value
          for <nsa> on Windows.  Thanks to Jim Buck <jim@nowsol.com> for
          reporting this.

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/reactors.dsp:
        * examples/Reactor/Misc/signals_1.dsp:
        * examples/Reactor/Misc/signals_2.dsp:
          Corrected the include and library paths.  Thanks to
          Zoran Ivanovic <zorani@pathcom.com> for reporting this.

        * ChangeLog: Removed all the trailing spaces and tab characters so
          CVS's commit-check will be happy.

Sun Oct 25 10:59:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: Added

          #if defined (i386)
          #define ACE_HAS_X86_STAT_MACROS
          #endif /* i386 */

          to check for the [f]stat macros on Solaris for Intel.  Thanks to
          Daniel Nieten <dnieten@bellsouth.net> for reporting this.

Sun Oct 25 00:15:03 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (process_directives): We should use
          ASYS_WIDE_STRING to convert a <char *> to a UNICODE string.

Sat Oct 24 18:39:11 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces, get_handle): Add _AIX to the list
          of macros which enable the proper code for these to work.
          ACE::get_ip_interfaces still doesn't work right on AIX, though -
          it reports one link-level interface.  May need to get IBM's help
          with this.

Sat Oct 24 18:07:00 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_TEXT): Consolidated various ACE_TEXT definitions
          into one and place it near the beginning of the file.
          Re-indented macros.

Sat Oct 24 17:47:15 1998  Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.com.co>

        * ace/OS.i (sigwait):  Sigwait is little different with FSU
          pthreads, sigwait take two arguments and return -1 if error, 0
          in otherwise.

Sat Oct 24 17:26:41 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_TEXT): Moved Nanbor's changes outside of
          ACE_PSOS block.

        * ace/config-win32.h: Defined ACE_HAS_TEXT_MACRO_CONFLICT,
          seeing that MSVC already defines __TEXT.

Sat Oct 24 15:21:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_TEXT): Changed the macro __TEXT to ACE_TEXT to
          avoid conflicting with OS/390.  __TEXT is still available for
          backward compatibility unless ACE_HAS_TEXT_MACRO_CONFLICT is
          defined.  However, using ACE_TEXT is prefered for obvious
          reason.  Thanks to Paul K. Fisher <pfisher@plexware.com> for
          reporting this.

        * ace/README: Added documentation for ACE_HAS_TEXT_MACRO_CONFLICT.

        * *.cpp: Replaced a bunch of __TEXT to ACE_TEXT.

Sat Oct 24 08:34:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i: Updated the fstat() and stat() calls to work properly
          on the Solaris for Intel platform, which does weird things to
          the fstat() and stat() functions to handle 32 and 64 bit file
          offsets.  Thanks to Daniel Nieten <dnieten@bellsouth.net> for
          reporting this.

Sat Oct 24 02:13:11 1998  Detlef Backer <Detlef.Becker@med.siemens.de>

        * ace/OS.cpp (invoke): ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke() swapped the
          nesting level of __except() and __finally() because if the
          selector returns EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER a global unwind takes
          place, activating nested __finally blocks and in this case
          terminating the thread before having a chance to execute the
          handler. After reversing the logic, now the exception handler
          gets called first before the termination handler is invoked.

          Furthermore I added the call to GetExceptionInformation(),
          passing the result as a void* into the selector function. This
          allows a case sensitive handling startegy of the exception in
          the selector function.

          (inherit_log_msg): In ACE_Thread_Adapter::inherit_log_msg() I
          moved the copy operation from the selector and handler
          attributes outside of the "if (this->ostream_)" condition,
          because I don't think this condition is related to the SEH.

          (thr_create): In ACE_OS::thr_create() I "inherit" the current
          selector handler into the newly created ACE_Thread_Adapter in
          case that the caller did not specify one at invocation.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (spawn_i): In
          ACE_Thread_Manager::spawn_i() I added the initialization of
          selector and handler at the creation time of
          ACE_Thread_Adapter.

Fri Oct 23 21:11:03 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Changed a comment to be consistent.  Thanks to Serge
          Kolgan <skolgan@cisco.com> for reporting this.

Fri Oct 23 20:39:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Paul Christopher Gill was born Friday October 23, 1998, at
          20:39 CDT, weighing 6 lbs. 7 oz., at 19 3/4 inches in length.
          A true hacker in the making, Paul decided to work through the
          evening even though it was a Friday night. ;-)

Fri Oct 23 11:37:38 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_aix4.2.GNU: Removed -qinitauto=5F from
          DCFLAGS - with it, Process_Strategy_Test was going CPU bound in an
          ostream operation.

Fri Oct 23 00:27:11 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.63 released.

Thu Oct 22 21:32:14 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Since we've been successfully using MSVC 6.0
          for a while, might as well mention it here in the documentation.

Thu Oct 22 19:48:20 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/index.html
        Reformatted it via emacs to make it more readable when editing.
        Added a comment pointing to Bob McWhirter's original FMM document
        to make it easier to update the repository in the future.

        * docs/tutorials/015/Client.h
        * docs/tutorials/015/Client.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/Server.h
        * docs/tutorials/015/Server.cpp

        Since Windows just *pretends* to have mixed-case names the cpp
        files conflict with client.cpp and server.cpp.  I renamed these
        files to:

        * docs/tutorials/015/Client_i.h
        * docs/tutorials/015/Client_i.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/Server_i.h
        * docs/tutorials/015/Server_i.cpp

        Which necessitated changes to
        * docs/tutorials/015/client.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/server.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/015/Makefile.client
        * docs/tutorials/015/Makefile.server
        * docs/tutorials/015/Makefile
        * docs/tutorials/015/combine.shar
        * docs/tutorials/015/*.html

        Thanks to Darrell Brunsch for catching this.


Thu Oct 22 16:52:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.(cpp h): Adjusted debug output to
          learn more about what's happening; added a check to be sure that
          the correct number of messages are processed by each Svc_Handler.

Thu Oct 22 15:46:42 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Emulation::tss_base): if storage for
          the TSS data must be allocated off the heap, zero all of it.
          This avoids problems after fork in the child process on
          LynxOS.

Wed Oct 21 22:23:06 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.62 released.

Wed Oct 21 21:19:53 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (process_directives): Replaced a
          return -1 with a result = -1 and a break to avoid a
          memory leak.  Thanks to David for pointing this out.

Wed Oct 21 20:00:51 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Timer_Queue_Test.cpp :
        * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp:
          Replaced double with ACE_timer_t everywhere so that it works on
          platforms like Chorus.

Wed Oct 21 18:44:26 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: Changed egrep Chorus to CHORUS to identify a
          Chorus vme board.

Wed Oct 21 17:51:52 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces): If compiling on Win32 w/ Winsock 2,
          use WSAIoctl(SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST) to get the interfaces from the
          kernel rather than trying to fish through the registry.  This should
          help TAO's naming service be somewhat more reliable on Win32, as
          well as solve some other nasties that plagued this thing.

        * ace/ws2tcpip.h: Filled out necessary pieces for the above change.

Wed Oct 21 14:19:11 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.h
        Alison Greig's question caused me to look back at these and
        I find that an older g++ is unhappy about the close() methods.
        It seems to confuse the baseclass 'close(u_long flags=0)' with
        my derived 'close(void)' even though I also have 'close(u_long)'.
        Anyway, I removed my 'close(void)' and now do all of my work in
        the other method.

        * docs/tutorials/007/client_handler.cpp:handle_input()
        Now using ACE_OS::thr_equal() instead of operator==()
        This fixes Alison's problem.   (Thanks for the solution David!)

Wed Oct 21 07:12:32 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: moved #include of
          tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.h inside of ACE_HAS_THREADS
          protection, so that it will compile without thread support.
          Thanks to Jan Perman <Jan.Perman@osd.uab.ericsson.se> for
          reporting this.

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp: moved "the_reactor" declaration
          outside of ACE_HAS_THREADS protection, so that it will compile
          without thread support.  Thanks to Jan Perman
          <Jan.Perman@osd.uab.ericsson.se> for reporting this.

        * bin/g++dep: added -DACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE to keep it
          quiet when the config.h doesn't #define it.  Thanks to
          Naga for reporting this.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h: protected #define of ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE,
          because g++dep now defines it with a -D.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated Linux and LynxOS version status,
          and egcs --enable-shared discussion.

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp (operator *): only declare local "result"
          without ACE_NDEBUG, to avoid compile warning with debug=0.

        * ace/Synch.cpp (ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex::release): only
          declare local "t_id" without ACE_NDEBUG, to avoid compile warning
          with debug=0.

        * ace/Timer_Heap_T.cpp (reschedule): only declare local "timerID"
          without ACE_NDEBUG, to avoid compile warning with debug=0.

        * ace/SV_Message_Queue.h: fixed #ifndef protection to use
          ACE_SV_MESSAGE_QUEUE_H instead of ACE_MESSAGE_QUEUE_H, to
          prevent collision with the Message_Queue.h's protection.
          Thanks to Rainer Blome <rainer_blome@de.ibm.com> for
          reporting this.

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp: removed some old, unused printouts.

Tue Oct 20 19:40:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Added
          -DACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE - aCC on both 10.20 and 11.00 complain about
          #pragma once.  Added it here rather than in config.h because (1) it
          can be set in one file, not two, (2) in case a #pragma gets in before
          config.h is included somehow.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_aix4.2.GNU: Revised flags passed to
          xlC_r - remove -qextchk because it's the cause of the mismatched
          type errors building netsvcs/lib (IBM reports this is fixed in
          compiler version 3.6.4).  Removed -M - it's not needed and wastes
          disk space.  Moved -qcheck to DCFLAGS and added -qinitauto=5F to
          DCFLAGS.

        * include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU: Added SHLIBA to the files that
          get 'realclean'ed - this covers libACEshr.a on AIX.

        * netsvcs/lib/Makefile:
        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Makefile: Added ACELIB to LIBS to
          insure libACE is linked in.

Tue Oct 20 19:37:42 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/014/*.html:
        * docs/tutorials/014/Makefile:
        * docs/tutorials/014/combine.shar:
          Colorized using the new and improved 'combine' script.  Also
          modified the Makefile so that the HTML sources won't get destroyed
          if the shar operation failed.

       * docs/tutorials/015/Makefile:
          Added the same Makefile modification to prevent loss of HTML sources

Tue Oct 20 16:28:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added recommended DU CXX version info.
          Thanks to Susan Liebeskind <shl@janis.gtri.gatech.edu>
          for suggesting this.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added AIX 4.2.1 xlC V3.1 patch info.
          Thanks to Susan Liebeskind <shl@janis.gtri.gatech.edu>
          for supplying it, in ready-to-use form.

        * tests/Thread_Manager._Test.cpp (main): changed debug messages
          for suspend_grp/resume_grp with Pthreads, which fail due to
          ENOTSUP.  The resume_grp message was wrong (copy and paste
          error).  In addition, I reworded the messages to that
          run_tests.check won't catch them.  They don't indicate a
          problem, just that Pthreads doesn't support those operations;
          see Steve's Thu Oct 15 16:40:41 1998 entry.

Tue Oct 20 14:31:37 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        Updated these makefiles to remove rules.lib.GNU
        Added the "top-level" makefile to allow building
        of all tutorials in one step.

Tue Oct 20 12:54:39 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.61 released.

Tue Oct 20 07:43:56 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_irix6.x_g++.GNU: added
          LIBS += -lpthread.  Thanks to Peter Nordlund <petern@nada.kth.se>
          for reporting that it is needed.

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h,config-irix6.x-common.h:
          moved ACE_HAS_GPERF from SGI C++ config to common SGI C++/g++
          config.  Thanks to Peter Nordlund <petern@nada.kth.se> for
          recommending this.

        * ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h,config-dgux-4.11-epc.h,config-dgux-4.x-ghs.h,
          config-irix5.2.h,config-irix5.3-g++.h,config-irix5.3-sgic++.h,

          config-unixware-2.1.2-g++.h,config-irix6.x-common.h,README:
          removed ACE_HAS_SVR4_TIME because it is no longer used.
          Thanks to Peter Nordlund <petern@nada.kth.se> for
          reporting this.

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp (handle_exception,
          handle_timeout): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG's.

        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Dump_Restore.cpp:
          added #include of ace/streams.h, because the dump ()
          method uses ofstream.

        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-acceptor.cpp (handle_close):
          added ACE_UNUSED_ARG's.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5-sunc++-4.x.h,config-sunos5.5-g++.h:
          removed, because config-sunos5.5.h should be used instead.

        * performance-tests/Misc/basic_perf.cpp (iteration_time):
          added static cast 0 to ACE_hrtime_t to please g++
          on VxWorks (which uses ACE_U_LongLong for ACE_hrtime_t).

        * ace/config-cygwin32-common.h: removed msg_accrights{,len}
          defines, because they were commented out.

        * OS.h,config-aix-4.1.x.h,config-linux-common.h,README:
          added ACE_LACKS_MSG_ACCRIGHTS support.  This consolidates
          code that was in both of the config files.  Thanks to
          Ossama for suggesting it.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks*.GNU: moved our
          wind installation from /project/doc/wind to /project/doc/pkg/wind.

Tue Oct 20 07:09:31 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: Added ACE_HAS_GPERF.

        * tests/tests.(mak mdp): Fixed to build clean; Added:
          DLList_Test, High_Res_Timer_Test, Dynamic_Priority_Test,
          Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test, Upgradable_RW_Test, MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.

Mon Oct 19 21:40:56 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * *.h: changed include protection from #if !defined to ifndef.
          Added #pragma once, if possible, i.e., after #include of
          an ace/ header.  It can only be done after ace/config.h
          is included, because some platforms don't allow #pragma once.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: removed -DACE_LACKS_PRAGMA
          for g++ because it's now in config-g++-common.h.

Mon Oct 19 20:44:33 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/015:
        Once again I've modified just about every file.  Finally though
        Tutorial 015:  Protocol Stream is done!

        * docs/tutorials/combine
        Get rid of that silly "links" file and add "bodies".  The new file
        is an ordered list of files to use when assembling the HTML
        pages.  This makes it easier to stuff source code into the pages.

        * docs/tutorials/index.html
        I could have sworn that I linked in 014 many moons ago.
        Appologies to Bob McWhirter for leaving this out for so long!

Mon Oct 19 17:00:52 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/015:
        Just about everything in this directory has been touched.  I'm
        in the middle of documenting it and need a checkpoint so nothing
        gets lost!  ETA for completion is later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Mon Oct 19 11:47:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (readPPCTimeBase): wrapped each line in "".
          Otherwise, the C++ compiler on MVS complains unterminated
          strings.  Even though it isn't supposed to see this code :-/
          Thanks to Chuck Gehr <GehrCR@louisville.stortek.com> for
          reporting this.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h: added ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE.
          g++ doesn't need it, because it optimizes includes if the #ifndef
          header protection convention is followed.  And, it
          complains about #pragma once.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: added ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE,
          unless _MSC_VER < 1000.

Mon Oct 19 11:13:00 1998 Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.h: Added title and description comments to
          deadline and laxity message priority strategy classes.

Sun Oct 18 17:22:00 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/014/combine.shar:
        * docs/tutorials/015/combine.shar:
        The additional input files to the combine script.  A shell archive
        seems to be the most economical way to keep their history.
        Individual files just create clutter and a tar.gz wouldn't be
        diff-able in the repository.

        * docs/tutorials/014/Makefile:
        * docs/tutorials/015/Makefile:
        Adjusted to create the HTML and combine.shar files.

Sun Oct 18 16:51:43 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/combine: A perl script for combining several
        "source" files into an HTML.  It was designed to combine comment
        files with .cpp and .h files in the creation of tutorials.  The
        HTML output is commited to the repository, I haven't decided yet
        if it's worth saving the input.

        * docs/tutorials/fix.Makefile:  This was pulled out of one of the
        old tutorials and made a bit more useful.  It's purpose is to pull
        dependency information out of a Makefile and create a .depend file
        instead.  This keeps makfiles cleaner and less confusing.

        * docs/tutorials/014/Makefile
        * docs/tutorials/014/Task.cpp
        Minor changes.  I attempted to add THR_JOINABLE to the activate()
        call but that resulted in a permanent hangup on Linux when trying
        to exit the application

        The beginnings of a protocol stream tutorial. The code is done but
        the tutorializing (eg -- HTML and comments) isn't complete.

Sat Oct 17 21:20:44 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (gethrtime): updated comments on Alpha rpcc
          instruction.  Only 32 bits of high-res tick count are
          available, even the 64 bits are read by the rpcc instruction.
          The high 32 bits are for implementation-specific use, such
          as a virtual tick counter.

Sat Oct 17 13:41:57 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * test/Future_Test.cpp: Added more comments so that the structure
          and participants in the Active Object pattern would be more
          obvious.

        * ace/Message_Block: Added a priority parameter, which defaults to
          0, to one of the constructor for ACE_Message_Block so that it
          simplifies the new Method_Request semantics.

        * ace/Method_Request.h: Added priority() accessor/mutator methods
          so that we can control where a Method_Request is placed in the
          Activation_Queue, which is just a Facade for an
          ACE_Message_Queue.

        * ace: Renamed ACE_Method_Object to ACE_Method_Request to
          correspond to the new version of the Active Object pattern at
          http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/Act-Obj.ps.gz.  This change
          involved renaming the Method_Object.h and Method_Object.cpp
          files to Method_Request.h and Method_Request.cpp, respectively.
          For backwards compatibility, I kept the Method_Object.h file,
          which now just includes Method_Request.h and adds a typedef of
          ACE_Method_Request to ACE_Method_Object so no applications
          should break.  New applications should use the new names,
          however.

        * ace/Acceptor.h: Moved the
          ACE_Oneshot_Acceptor::register_handler() method into the private
          part of the class so that users won't be tempted to call it!
          Thanks to Larry <larry@paradigmsim.com> for reporting this.

        * examples/Connection/non_blocking/CPP-acceptor: Fixed a bug that
          occurred when timers were used in conjunction with the
          ACE_Oneshot_Acceptor and handle_close().

        * ace/Acceptor: Cleaned up the ACE_Oneshot_Acceptor comments.
          Boy, this was confusing ;-).  Thanks to Larry
          <larry@paradigmsim.com> for reporting this.

Sat Oct 17 12:54:17 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.60 released.

Sat Oct 17 12:50:44 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Fixed a number of warnings that crept into the release
          yesterday.  Thanks to David Levine and DEC C++ for
          reporting these.

Sat Oct 17 00:35:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.59 released.

Sat Oct 17 00:29:37 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (process_directives): Only warn about a
          missing svc.conf file if we're debugging.

Fri Oct 16 23:16:30 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: 1) use complete sentences for
          comments and 2) use prefix operators where possible, such
          as on an iteration loop index.

Fri Oct 16 15:45:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config: Added a new method called
          init_svc_conf_file_queue() that will properly initialize the new
          queue containing the list of svc.conf files.

        * ace/Service_Config: Added a return value to parse_args() to make
          sure we do a sanity check...

        * ace: Replaced all #if !defined (ACE_FOO_H) with #ifndef
          ACE_FOO_H since many C++ preprocessors can recognize this idiom
          and optimize for it.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (parse_args): Modified the -S option to
          enqueue the directives in FIFO order rather than in LIFO order.
          It's more intuitive to process them in the order they are
          received!

        * ace/Service_Config: It's now possible to give multiple -f
          options to the Service Configurator and it will open multiple
          files and process each one in the order specified in argv.  This
          is useful if svc.conf are generated by automatic tools, e.g.,
          Wizards, that are operating independently.  Thanks to David
          O'Farrell <dave.ofarrell@aersoft.ie> for suggesting this.

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp: Revised the programming style ;-).

        * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp: Replaced all uses of postfix ++
          operators with prefix ++ operators because they are faster when
          iterating over the various Maps.

        * ace/[Hash_]Map_Manager: Today we decided to remove the use of
          locking for the ACE[_Hash]_Map_Manager Iterators.  The original
          scheme acquired the mutex of the [Hash_]Map_Manager on every
          ++operator++/--operator-- call.  Not only was this very
          inefficient, but it was also essentially useless since it
          doesn't protect against arbitrary insertions/deletions in the
          underlying map during the iteration.

          Our first thought was to put an ACE_Read_Guard into the iterator
          itself and acquire this for the duration of the iteration.
          However, this approach is totally broken when using STL-style
          iterators since the postfix ++ and -- operators return a copy of
          the iterator, which easily causes deadlocks if non-recursive
          mutexes are used.

          After much discussion, we decided it's better to let users
          figure out their own locking usecase, rather than have the
          iterators guess wrong and either screw up their code or yield
          substantial inefficiencies.  Therefore, the right approach is to
          do something like this:

          typedef ACE_Map_Manager <TYPE1, TYPE2, ACE_Thread_Mutex> MAP_MANAGER;
          typedef ACE_Map_Iterator <TYPE1, TYPE2, ACE_Thread_Mutex> ITERATOR;
          typedef ACE_Map_Entry <TYPE1, TYPE2> ENTRY;

          void
          foo (MAP_MANAGER &map)
          {
            // ...
            {
              // Explicitly grab the lock and hold it for the duration of
              // the iteration.
              ACE_READ_GUARD (ACE_Thread_Mutex, ace_mon, map.mutex ());

              ITERATOR end = map.end ();

              for (ITERATOR iter = map.begin ();
                   iter != end;
                   ++iter)
              {
                ENTRY &entry = *iter;
                ++i;
              }
            // ...
          }

          Note that as a general rule, it's better to use ++i rather than
          i++ to avoid unnecessary copies.

Fri Oct 16 14:57:58 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager and Map_Manager: Fixed the operator++ and
          operator--.  Also, moved the guard from the individual methods
          to the iterator.  Now, the read guard is held for the life time
          of the iterator.

Fri Oct 16 14:51:57 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): Made sure if users don't specify
          whether to spawn threads detached or joinable, we'd change the
          creation flag for them so that they are always joinable (not
          detached.)  This is important for unify the thread behavior on
          different platforms that have various default thread creation
          policies.  Thanks to Susan Liebeskind
          <shl@janis.gtri.gatech.edu> for motivating the change.

Fri Oct 16 01:28:17 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.58 released.

Thu Oct 15 23:50:41 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.57 released.

Thu Oct 15 22:05:02 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (unique_name): Moved the arguments around in the
          sprintf() in order to generate a better "unique name".  Thanks
          to Bob McWhirter for suggesting this.

Thu Oct 15 21:20:36 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp (operator-- and operator++):
        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp (operator-- and operator++):

          Fixed by value and by reference return values.

Thu Oct 15 20:16:46 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/ACE-FMM.html: Updated with Bob McWhirter's latest changes.
        Discussion of race conditions when spawning threads from within a constructor.

Thu Oct 15 18:30:58 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added ACE_HTONS(x) macros to complement ACE_HTONL(x)
          macros.  Thanks to Balaji Srinivasan <balaji@cplane.com>
          for reporting this.

        * ace/[Hash_]Map_Manager.cpp: Postfix and prefix were inverted.
          They are correct now.  Thanks to Balaji Srinivasan
          <balaji@cplane.com> for reporting this.

Thu Oct 15 18:02:51 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32.h: For non-winnt systems, define
          ACE_LACKS_RECVMSG and ACE_LACKS_SENDMSG.  Thanks to Bill Hall
          <hts@gte.net> for pointing this out.

          [BTW, Bill was the 400th individual to contribute an ACE/TAO
          bug report, thanks to everyone for all their help over the years!]

Thu Oct 15 16:50:09 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.i (set_option): Need to convert the
          <optval> from char to int for Win32 because the shortest length
          of <optval> must be at least sizeof (int) on Win32.  Thanks
          to Johan Lundin <johan@lundin.com> for reporting this.

Thu Oct 15 16:40:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp: Allow suspend/resume to be tried on
          pthreads, but don't allow any error other than ENOTSUP.  This
          catches a bug in Thread_Manager that lost the error values on an
          error.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (ACE_THR_OP macro): Don't remove a thread
          from the active threads list if an operation fails with ENOTSUP.
          This was causing calls to suspend_grp/resume_grp to erase the list
          of threads in a group on pthreads, then wait_grp didn't wait because
          it thought there weren't any more threads.

Thu Oct 15 12:43:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task.cpp (activate): Changed to activate new active objects
          using the same grp_id if this task has been activated before and
          no new grp_id is specified in activate method.  Also, the task's
          grp_id will only get updated if it has never been updated even
          if <force_active> is set.  This prevent the original <grp_id_>
          get lost but the consequence if that if users select to
          force_activate new tasks with a different grp_id, the new grp_id
          will get lost and the only way to wait for these threads is to
          either perform a wait for all threads, or wait for each
          individual thread by waiting on the thread handles returned by
          the activate method.  Thanks to Bob McWhirter
          <bob@netwrench.com> for motivating this change.
          (ACE_Task_Base): Changed to initialize <grp_id_> to -1.

Thu Oct 15 10:07:13 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.56 released.

Thu Oct 15 09:54:07 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: commented out MT_Reactor_Timer_Test because
          it doesn't halt on g++/Solaris or DU 4.0.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: for g++, added
          -DACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE to CCFLAGS.  Thanks to Kirk Ellet
          <kellet@mdc.com> for pointing out that is has to be done
          in CCFLAGS rather than as a #define in OS.h, because
          ace/Synch_T.h uses the pragma before config.h is #included.

Wed Oct 14 23:20:45 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.55 released.

Wed Oct 14 22:17:31 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added guideline for protection of
          header files against multiple inclusion.  Thanks to
          Eric C. Newton <ecn@smart.net> for pointing out the construct
          used by gcc/g++ to minimize unnecessary file inclusion.
          Fortunately, other compilers use the same method.  And,
          thanks to Susan Liebeskind  <shl@cc.gatech.edu> for being
          the last ACE user to suggest something like this, and to
          Pat McNerthney <pat@cartia.com> for spurring the search for
          such an optimization.

Wed Oct 14 12:36:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: Added the MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp: Fixed a number of bugs with
          this test.  It seems to work fine on Solaris now.

        * tests/MT_Reactor_Timer_Test.cpp (main): Added a test to make
          sure that the ACE_Reactor::handle_events() method properly
          counts the number of expired timers.

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T: Updated the various methods so that
          handle_events() now works as advertised, i.e., it actually
          returns the number of event handlers it dispatched.

        * ace: Added

          #if !defined (ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE)
          #pragma once
          #endif /* ACE_LACKS_PRAGMA_ONCE */

          To all the header files in ACE.  This should speed up
          compilation time on platforms whose C++ compilers support
          #pragma once.  Thanks to Patrick J. McNerthney <pat@cartia.com>
          for suggesting this.

        * ace/Functor.h: Moved the definitions of the constructor and
          destructor of ACE_Command_Base into the *.i file.

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T: Enhanced dispatch_timer_handlers() so that
          it passes the number of timers dispatched as an out parameter to
          avoid any ambiguity.

Wed Oct 14 15:30:42 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Message_Block_T.h: Removed ACE_Export from definition of template
          class ACE_Locked_Data_Block.

Wed Oct 14 12:36:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-cygwin32-common.h,
          ace/config-cygwin32.h,
          ace/OS.h:
          Added support for Cygwin32.  Thanks to Phil Feairheller
          <Phil.Feairheller@emax.com> for contributing this.

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h,
          ace/config-chorus.h,
          ace/config-psos*.h,
          ace/config-cygwin32-common.h,
          ace/OS.i:
          Added and used the new ACE_LACKS_MKFIFO macro.  Thanks to Phil
          Feairheller <Phil.Feairheller@emax.com> for reporting this.

Wed Oct 14 11:03:45 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.54 released.

Wed Oct 14 00:28:10 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.53 released.

1998-10-14  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.cpp : Changed ACE_mutex_t to ACE_cond_t for CHORUS
        in ACE_Condition constructor.

1998-10-13  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.i (ACE_Mutex::remove): Added a #else for non-chorus
          cases instead of #endif to call ACE_OS::mutex_destroy.

        * ace/OS.cpp : Added static member definition
                KnCap ACE_OS::actorcaps_[ACE_CHORUS_MAX_ACTORS]
        for CHORUS.

        * ace/config-chorus.h: Added ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION.

Tue Oct 13 22:40:40 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile:
        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.i:
        * ace/Message_Block.cpp:
        * ace/Message_Block_T.h:
        * ace/Message_Block_T.i:
        * ace/Message_Block_T.cpp:
          Added a new variant of the ACE_Data_Block class that holds an
          instance of its locking strategy, this is useful because in some
          cases the lifetime of the lock is tied to the lifetime of the
          Data_Block itself.  The Message_Block class was carefullly
          modified to support this new feature, i.e. it does not hold a
          lock while removing the data block because the hold may be part
          of the data block itself.  Still all the features in the
          Message_Blocks are supported, for instance, a complete
          Message_Block chain ca be destroyed while holding a single lock,
          shared by all the Data_Blocks in the chain.

Tue Oct 13 22:39:42 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MM_Shared_Memory_Test.cpp (client): added an
          ACE_ASSERT to check that shm is non-zero.

        * ace/OS.h,config-chorus.h,README: added
          ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_PROCESS_ENUM support.  Thanks to
          Alberto Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> and Naga
          for tracking the problem with Semaphore_Test hanging.

        * ace/OS.h: changed default PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED from 0 to 1.
          That way, it's different than PHTREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

Tue Oct 13 22:09:12 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): One more try to get this right ;)
          Thanks to Jonathan Reis <reis@minniemouse.cemax.com> for the bug
          reports, suggested fixes, and test program.

Tue Oct 13 21:17:37 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
        * ace/Proactor.cpp: Fixed the problem with POSIX4 implementation
        of Asynch_Transmit_File. Thanks to James Hu and Irfan for
        reporting this problem and helped me on the fixes.

Tue Oct 13 18:07:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: Set up so it should work with gcc as well
          as xlC.  Rearranged defs and removed some duplicates.
          Enabled ACE_HAS_4_4BSD_SENDMSG_RECVMSG and removed the redefs
          of msgbuf fields.

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Moved the definition of
          Acceptor_Handler to a new file, Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.h to
          satisfy AIX xlC's template instantiation.

Tue Oct 13 15:56:09 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i: Fixed a few errors on CHORUS.

Tue Oct 13 08:48:36 EDT 1998   James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/ACE-tutorials.html
        * docs/ACE-FMM.html
          Added Bob McWhirter's <bob@netwrench.com> "Frequently Made
          Mistakes" list.

Tue Oct 13 07:28:38 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (dump): replaced ACE_static_casts with
          ACE_CU64_TO_CU32, because the method is const.  Thanks to Doug
          for reporting this.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (join): replaced __xlC__ test with
          _AIX.  That way, g++ and xlC will both use the three-arg
          join call on AIX.  Thanks to Ian Wright <I.Wright@elsevier.co.uk>
          for reporting this.

        * ace/Makefile,examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Makefile:
          updated dependencies.

        * ace/OS.[hi],config-fsu-pthread.h,config-aix-4.[12].x.h,
          config-mit-pthread.h,config-hpux-10.x.h,config-hpux11.h,
          config-irix6.x-{g++,sgic++}.h,config-mvs.h,config-tandem.h,
          config-osf1-3.2.h,config-osf1-4.0.h,config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,
          config-irix6.x-common.h,README:
          removed ACE_HAS_TID_T and ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_T support.  ACE_hthread_t
          is now a simple typedef of pthread_t.  It was before, also, but not
          so simple :-)  Before, it was a typedef of tid_t on platforms
          that had ACE_HAS_TID_T but not ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_T.  There were
          no such platforms; so, it was pthread_t on all PTHREADS platforms.
          Thanks to Ossama, Arturo, and Steve for sorting all this out.
          We ended up with just a single typedef, so it was worth it.

        * ace/OS.i (thr_cmp): use pthread_equal with PTHREADS, same as
          in ACE_OS::thr_equal ().  Thanks to Ossama for pointing out that
          they were different, but shouldn't have been.

        * ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h,config-fsu-pthread.h,config-hpux-10.x.h,
          config-hpux11.h,config-irix6.x-{g++,sgic++}.h,config-mit-pthread.h,
          config-mvs.h,config-osf1-3.2.h,config-osf1-4.0.h,
          config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.hconfig-tandem.h,README:
          removed ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_EQUAL because it's no longer used.  Thanks
          to Ossama for motivating the above change to thr_cmp, which had
          been the only use of ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_EQUAL.

        * ace/Log_Record.h,OS.h: changed C++-style comments to C-style
          comments in preprocessor directives.  Thanks to
          Fernando D. Mato Mira <matomira@acm.org> for reporting these.

Tue Oct 13 00:19:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (sema_destroy): I believe I've fixed the rats nest of
          #ifdefs to get semaphores to work correctly on Chorus again.
          Thanks to Naga for tracking this down!

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: Temporarily commented out the
          ACE_static_casts so that this will compile with CC.

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager,
          ace/Map_Manager:
          Added a public mutex() accessor that allows us to return a
          reference to the lock_.  This is useful for cases where we're
          using ACE_Process_Mutex and need to call remove().  Thanks to
          Bob McWhirter <bob@netwrench.com> for this suggestion.

Mon Oct 12 23:03:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): Added a minor fix to handle the fact
          that Chorus doesn't support filesize() on a shared memory
          segment.  Thanks to Alberto Villarica
          <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for reporting this.

Mon Oct 12 22:18:03 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (dump): cleaned up output so that it
          works and is consistent across all platforms.  (long long
          printing is not portable:  some platforms use %llu and
          others use %Lu).

Mon Oct 12 18:39:09 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Revised the code to take the offset into
          account when deciding whether to grow the backing store.

          Also, ACE_Mem_Map was trying to be too clever when it tries to
          make sure that your offset is a multiple of the allocation
          granularity.  It ends up messing up user offset and length
          calculations.  Therefore, I have taken this out of ACE_Mem_Map
          code.  Users is still welcome to use
          ACE_OS::allocation_granularity and
          ACE::round_to_allocation_granularity by themselves.

Mon Oct 12 14:39:15 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp: Added some ACE_const_casts to cleanup the
          casting going on here.

        * examples/ASX/CCM_App/CCM_App.cpp: We need to make sure and use
          the ACE_SVC_FACTORY_* macros so that the gobbler will be set
          correctly.  Purify rules!

        * ace/Makefile: Make sure to add the // $ Id: $ CVS string when
          recreating Svc_Conf_Tokens.h.

        * ace/Svc_Conf.y: Just to be paranoid, make sure to set the
          gobbler function to 0.  At least this way we'll get crashes
          rather than bizarre errors if users don't use the ACE_*FACTORY*
          macros.

Mon Oct 12 19:19:27 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/ACE-tutorials.html:
        Added a link to Bob McWhirter's Frequently Made Mistakes page.

        * docs/tutorials/014/Makefile
        * docs/tutorials/014/Task.{cpp|h}
        * docs/tutorials/014/EndTask.h
        * docs/tutorials/014/stream.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/014/page0[123456].html
        A slightly modified version of Bob McWhirter's ACE_Stream tutorial.

Mon Oct 12 15:59:00 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.cpp (size): removed unused local "old_base".

Mon Oct 12 11:24:45 PDT 1998  James Hu  <jxh@entera.com>

        * Asynch_IO.cpp: Minor changes to deal with FMR error.

        * Message_Block.{cpp,i,h}: Changed rd_ptr_ and wr_ptr_ to be
          byte offsets from base ().  This allows one to resize a
          duplicate without trashing other Message_Blocks that may be
          referring to the same data block.

        * Proactor.cpp: Made the message block 64 bytes bigger to make
          purify happier.

Mon Oct 12 12:14:45 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Parse_Node.cpp (ACE_Stream_Node): In error cases, the strops
          parameter can be NULL.  Therefore, we need to protect against
          this case.  Thanks to David O'Farrell <dave@virgo.aersoft.ie>
          for reporting this.

Mon Oct 12 10:43:09 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp (ACE_Asynch_Result): Fixed a double deletion
        problem. Thanks to James Hu for reporting this.

Mon Oct 12 09:43:07 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.h:
        * ace/Containers_T.cpp:
          Added a new method to modify the size of an ACE_Array.

Mon Oct 12 09:23:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (lists_entries): one more try
          to fix the egcs 1.1b bug:  removed the ptmf temporary entirely.

Sun Oct 11 17:33:22 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.cpp: Fixed a typo, s/lock_/process_lock_/.  Thanks to
          Naga for noticing this.

Sun Oct 11 08:19:33 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: re-enabled msg_* undefs and defines,
          but for libc5 (non-glibc) only.  Thanks to JM Strauss
          <jms97@club-internet.fr> for verifying that they're needed.

        * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp (lists_entries): replaced
          switch statement with a multi-branch if statement, to
          avoid Internal compiler error 980331 with egcs 1.1b (2.91.57)
          (on Linux/alpha).

Sat Oct 10 18:30:02 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T: Added a process condition abstraction for Chorus
          that is based on a condition variable stored in shared memory.
          Thanks Alberto Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for
          this.

        * ace/Synch: Added a process mutex abstraction for Chorus that is
          based on a mutex stored in shared memory.  Thanks Alberto
          Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for this.

        * ace/config-chorus.h: Updated the config file for Chorus.  Thanks
          Alberto Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for this.

        * ace/OS.i: Added rudimentary flock support for Chorus.  Thanks
          Alberto Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for this.

        * ace/OS.i: Added exec*() support for Chorus.  Thanks Alberto
          Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for this.

        * ace/config-chorus.h: Added #include of file <am/wait.h>.

        * ace/Local_Name_Space_T.cpp (create_manager_i): Added a special
          case for CHORUS so that we use a base address of 0.  Thanks to
          Alberto Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for reporting
          this.

        * ace/Local_Name_Space_T.cpp (create_manager_i): Don't use
          ACE_OS::access() if the platform lacks it.  Thanks to Alberto
          Villarica <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for reporting this.

Sat Oct 10 18:33:06 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Comments.

Sat Oct 10 17:42:18 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.52 released.

Sat Oct 10 16:44:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Repository.cpp: Improved the documentation and added
          some new ACE_const_casts.  Thanks to Eric Palantir
          <palantir@net56.net> for motivating this.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (open): The logger key should be set to
          the static logger key only if the key supplied is EQUAL with the
          default logger key.  Thanks to Eric Palantir
          <palantir@net56.net> for reporting this.

Sat Oct 10 16:28:00 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.h:
        * ace/Synch.i:
        * ace/Synch.cpp:
          The ACE_Process_Mutex class was allocating one of its members
          from the heap, thus it could not be placed in shared memory.
          The problem was that the member required the creation of a
          unique name if the user did not provide one; making the buffer
          for this unique name a member of ACE_Process_Mutex allowed us to
          initialize the lock_ member while still allocating it as a
          member of the class.  Thanks to Bob McWhirter
          <bob@netwrench.com> for helping to track this down.

Sat Oct 10 12:45:31 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc_T.h: Added a documentation entry for class
          ACE_Cached_Allocator.  Thanks to Erik Koerber
          <erik.koerber@siemens.at> for reporting this.

Sat Oct 10 00:40:05 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.51 released.

Fri Oct 09 23:47:42 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): Fixed the setting of length_ again.
          Hopefully, it will be right this time.

Fri Oct  9 15:37:26 PDT 1998  James Hu  <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp: Protect against assigning 0 to length_.  This
          was causing JAWS to fail.

Fri Oct  9 16:59:26 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/run_test:
        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/summarize:
                Fixed the scripts to print the results correctly.Fixed
        comments and usage.

Fri Oct 09 16:35:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timer_Queue_Adapters.cpp
          ace/ace_dll.dsp
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{cpp, h}:
          Fixes for deferred callbacks in the BPR example on NT.

Fri Oct 09 11:59:26 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: removed RM override
          because it's not necessary.  Thanks to
          Tres Seaver <tseaver@palladion.com> for this suggestion.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU,
          platform_irix6.x-sgic++.GNU,platform_osf1_3.2.GNU,
          platform_osf1_4.0.GNU,platform_osf1_4.0_rcc.GNU,
          platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU:
          replaced hard-coded /bin/rm -f with $(RM).  Thanks to
          Tres Seaver <tseaver@palladion.com> for this suggestion.

        * ace/Containers_T.{h,cpp}: removed unecessary (and impolite)
          argument name.

Fri Oct 09 00:44:21 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (mmap): CreateFileMapping must be created with a length
          of 0 (which will get translated to the size of the file).  This
          must not be <len> since <len> only deals with the mapping of the
          view and not with the file mapping object.  It is ok to use 0
          since we are trying to emulate UNIX's mmap.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (round_to_allocation_granularity):
          ace/OS.i (allocation_granularity):

          New methods.  We need allocation granularity when rounding off
          the offset in mmap and not the page size.  Only on Win32,
          allocation granularity is different from pagesize.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: Added the inclusion of Object_Manager.h.
          Otherwise, NT was picking up the definition of
          ACE_Static_Object_Lock.

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): Fixed the problem where a requested
          length of less than the filesize was being ignored.  Also,
          changed round_to_pagesize() to round_to_allocation_granularity().
          Thanks to Jonathan Reis <reis@minniemouse.cemax.com> for
          pointing this bug out.

Fri Oct 09 00:02:01 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: The YET another problem with doing multiple
          Asynch_Accepts have been fixed. Thanks very much James Hu for
          reporting this. I was calling reactor's resume_handlers and
          suspend_handlers instead of only for one handle. Thanks very
          much Irfan! for pointing this out.

Thu Oct 08 23:06:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * config-linux-common.h: on Alpha only, added ACE_POLL_IS_BROKEN.
          High_Res_Timer_Test revealed that it's necessary with
          glibc 2.0.7-13.  I don't think that its necessary on
          Pentiums, but maybe it depends on glibc version.

        * OS.i (gethrtime),High_Res_Timer.cpp OS.i,README:
          added ACE_HAS_ALPHA_TIMER support.  See the comment
          in ACE_OS::gethrtime about it being limited to 32 bits.
          I don't know why, but that severely limits the range
          of high res times.  Therefore, it's not enabled by default
          in any config files.

Thu Oct 08 15:22:22 1998  Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.com.co>

        * ace/OS.{i,cpp}: Reverted FSU thread changes for now.

Thu Oct 08 15:11:34 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Updated document about spawning new thread
          when ACE_HAS_MFC is defined.  CWinBeginThread is not used
          automatically.  Users have to explicitly ask for this.

Thu Oct  8 12:11:08 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/run_test:
        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/summarize:

        Added these scripts to run the test and summarize the
        results. These scripts are modelled similar to the
        $TAO_ROOT/performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit scripts.
        Thanks to David for the scripts.

Thu Oct 08 08:23:09 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (get_registry_scale_factor):
          default global_scale_factor to 1000 instead of 1,
          because ACE_OS::gethrtime () defaults to nanoseconds.
          Thanks to Peter Nordlund <petern@nada.kth.se> for
          reporting that High_Res_Timer_Test failed on Irix without
          this fix.

        * ace/Makefile (Svc_Conf_l.cpp): use Doug's flex to generate
          this file, if running on a DOC group machine, instead of
          using whatever flex is first on the users path.

        * etc/README: fixed typo.

        * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp,etc/Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff (ACE_YY_DECL):
          initialize ace_yy_cp and ace_yy_bp to 0 to avoid egcs 1.1
          warning about possible use before initialization.

Wed Oct  7 23:47:29 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
        * ace/Proactor.cpp : Fixed the problem with doing multiple
        Asynch_Accepts. Thanks to James Hu for reporting this
        problem. Thanks very much Irfan!!!, for helping me a lot in fixing
        this one.

Wed Oct 07 23:14:36 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.50 released.

Wed Oct  7 21:44:20 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Stream.h: Added a default value of 0 for both put() and
          get(), which is more consistent with the underlying putq() and
          getq() methods on ACE_Task.  Thanks to Bob McWhirter
          <bob@netwrench.com> for this suggestion.

Wed Oct  7 18:18:14 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * README:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-common.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h:
          Peter Nordlund <petern@nada.kth.se> kindly submitted a common
          configuration file for IRIX 6.X that works with both g++ and SGI
          MIPSPro 7.X

Wed Oct  7 17:21:17 1998  Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.com.co>

        * ace/OS.{i,cpp}: FSU pthreads is draft6, but FSU in SCO is an
          special port. The API is draft6 but return values is DRAFT7
          (really I am moving to STD).

Wed Oct 07 09:30:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Functor.{cpp, h, i}
          ace/Functor_T.{cpp, h, i}
          ace/Makefile:

          Added ACE_Command_Base abstract base class and derived class
          template ACE_Command_Callback to ACE to support the GOF Command
          design pattern.

        * ace/Timer_Queue_Adapters.{cpp, h}:

          Added registration and deferred executiton of ACE_Command_Base
          objects to ACE_Thread_Timer_Queue_Adapter.  This is conditionally
          compiled if the ACE_HAS_DEFERRED_TIMER_COMMANDS symbol is defined.

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{cpp, h}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers_T.{cpp, h}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Makefile
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{cpp, h}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/bpr_thread.cpp:

          Changed example to use ACE_Command_Callback objects, modified event
          handlers to register ACE_Command_Callback objects for deferred
          excecution of timer cancellations and registrations.

Wed Oct 07 02:37:58 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.49 released.

Wed Oct  7 00:11:33 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added more information on using MFC with ACE,
          some explanations about using run-time libraries and information
          about VC6.

        * tests/version_tests/version_tests.dsw: Removed
          MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.dsp and added
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.

        * tests/*.dsp: Changed to use DLL version of run-time libraries
          for static builds.  Notice that user libraries are still linked
          in statically.  Only the run-time libraries are effected.

        * ace/README: Added information for ACE_USES_STATIC_MFC.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Re-structured MFC related macros
          (_AFXDLL and _WINDLL) so that it allows us to use MFC in static
          ACE libraries and the setting of MFC can propagate to
          applications.  By default, ACE uses MFC DLL if ACE_HAS_MFC=1.
          If you want to use MFC as a static library, besides
          ACE_HAS_MFC=1, also define ACE_USES_STATIC_MFC.  Thanks to Jason
          Milley <Jason.Milley.jcmilley@nt.com> for noticing the problem
          of compiling static ACE library with MFC.

Tue Oct  6 15:06:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp (ACE_Asynch_Accept_Handler): Removed the
          version of the ctor with no args - it's equivalent to the one
          with all defaulted args, and HP aCC complained.

        * ace/NT_Service.{h cpp i}: New class, ACE_NT_Service.  This provides
          a class and supporting macros to integrate NT Services into the
          ACE framework at run-time.  I'll work on getting an example into
          the kit soon.

        * ace/ACE_Library.{mak mdp}:
          ace/ace_dll.dsp, ace_lib.dsp: Added NT_Service files.

Tue Oct  6 12:49:37 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp
        * docs/tutorials/006/page05.html
          Susan Liebeskind discovered that invoking the baseclass
          close() after handle_close() in Client_Handler::close()
          causes the object to be destructed twice.  I've removed
          the call to the baseclass close().  She reports success
          on Solaris, Dec and AIX.  I've verified that Linux also
          works fine with this fix.

Tue Oct 06 09:53:22 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-fsu-pthread.h,config-mit-pthread.h,config-mvs.h,
          config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,config-tandem.h,README:
          removed ACE_HAS_YIELD_VOID_PTR because it's no longer used.
          Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

        * config-dgux-4.x-ghs.h,config-hpux-10.x.h,config-mit-pthread.h,
          config-mvs.h,config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,config-tandem.h,README:
          removed ACE_LACKS_KEYDELETE because it's no longer used.  Thanks to
          Ossama for reporting this.

Tue Oct 06 03:36:22 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.48 released.

Tue Oct 06 02:53:28 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.47 released.

Tue Oct  6 02:16:01 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp:
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp (handle_input):
        * ace/Proactor.cpp:
        In POSIX implementation of  Asynch_Accept, We dont have to read
        initial data to read on to the Message Block given to the
        Asynch_Accept. So we dont use it at all. We get local and peer
        address from using socket and pass back to the application.

Mon Oct 05 23:58:16 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.46 released.

Mon Oct  5 23:19:30 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (fork): Changed to use fork1 when ACE_HAS_STHREAD is
          defined.  Otherwise, file descriptors get messed up and socket
          connections get lost after exec'ing a new program.  Generally
          speaking, you should not simply fork a multi-threaded program
          without calling exec ().  On pthread compliant platform, fork
          does what fork1 does on solaris thread.

Mon Oct 05 21:21:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.45 released.

Mon Oct 05 15:59:55 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.43 released.

Mon Oct  5 15:34:41 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/002/handler.h:  Added includes for INET_Addr.h,
        SOCK_Stream.h and Reactor.h.  Susan Liebeskind pointed out that
        AIX gets confused in processing templates if these aren't present.

Mon Oct 05 10:02:37 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-chorus.h: added ACE_LACKS_TRUNCATE.  Thanks
          to Steve Kay <slk1@icore.ih.lucent.com> for reporting this.

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: added some ifdefs so that it
          builds cleanly with ACE_HAS_POSIX_SEM.

Sun Oct 05 03:49:09 PDT 1998  James Hu <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Asynch_Accept.*
        * ace/Asynch_IO.*
          Made some small modifications to support passing in and
          retrieving an ACT when performing asynchronous accept.

Sun Oct 04 22:07:09 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-fsu-pthread.h,config-hpux-10.x.h,config-lynxos.h,

          config-osf1-4.0.h,config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,config-tandem.h,
          README: removed ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_GETSPECIFIC_DATAPTR, because it's

        * ace/config-tandem.h,README: removed ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_YIELD_VOIDPTR,
          because it's no longer used.  It was commented out in
          config-tandem.h, anyways.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

Sun Oct  4 20:00:44 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Fixed the regular expression to detect compile errors.
          The user can pass extra arguments to GNU make, the arguments are
          given as the script is invoked.

Sun Oct  4 14:30:03 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TP_Reactor.cpp (handle_events): Made sure we never suspend
          the <notify_handler_> without holding the <token_>.  Otherwise,
          depend on how an OS schedules ready threads, we may have a
          Reactor that could never be woken up.  This leads to a very
          delicate race condition when other threads which need to modify
          Reactor's state get block on the token (because they couldn't
          wake up the reactor).  These threads later block the
          nofify_handler thread when it's ready to resume
          <notify_handler_.>
          (notify_handle): Since we don't suspend the <notify_handler_>,
          there's no need to resume it here.

Sat Oct  3 13:11:48 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Removed some of the tests, they were crashing more often than
          not.

Sat Oct  3 09:36:09 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: Comments.

Sat Oct 03 09:24:45 1998  Susan Liebeskind <shl@cc.gatech.edu>

        * ace/Task.h,Thread.h,Thread_Manager.h,Timer_Queue_Adapters.h
          (activate,spawn,spawn_n): added THR_JOINABLE to THR_NEW_LWP
          default flags.

          On the boxes which implement POSIX 1003.1.b (Solaris, Digital Unix)
          threads spawned using default flags provided by those methods were,
          and still are, created *joinable*.

          On the box which implements Draft 7 (AIX), the spawned threads were
          *detached*.  With this change, they'll be created *joinable*,
          instead.

          This change ensures consistent behavior across all platforms.

Sat Oct 03 09:04:44 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (set_handle_limit): wrapped the final
          return statement with #ifdef __sgi.  Irix complains without
          this return statement.  DEC cxx (correctly) says that it's not
          reachable.  ACE_NOTREACHED won't work here, because it handles
          both platforms the same.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: with quantify=1
          on sparcs, add -record-register-window-traps to $(PRELINK).
          Thanks to Andy for discovering this Quantify option, for sparcs.

Fri Oct  2 23:43:51 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h:
        * ace/OS.h:
          IRIX puts <xti.h> in <sys/xti.h> header of IRIX, it is only
          relevant for the autoconf project.

        * ace/ACE.cpp:
          Added an extra return to make IRIX compiler happy.

Fri Oct  2 21:48:18 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Send the message length
          before each message so we don't need to use time delay to
          separate consecutive requests.

Fri Oct 02 16:27:07 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: ACEified some code.
          (terminate): Do not register a thread as being terminated if it
          is being joined by another thread.  Just remove it from
          Thread_Manager's thr_list_.

Fri Oct  2 00:19:04 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Fixed explicit template
          instantiation.

        * ace/Strategies_T.{h,i,cpp}: Removed classes
          ACE_Thread_Pool_Strategy and ACE_Svc_Handler_Pool_Strategy.

        * tests/run_tests.{sh,bat}: Added Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test into
          one-buttoned test scripts.

Thu Oct 01 12:04:30 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Added a command line argument
          parser.

Thu Oct  1 08:51:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.cpp: Reformatted the
          code a bit.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (max_handles): Added yet another fix for AIX.
          Thanks to Chris Lahey for this.

Thu Oct 01 01:05:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/tests.dsw:
        * tests/version_tests/version_tests.dsw:
        * tests/Thread_Pool_Reactor_Test.{cpp,dsp}: Added a new test that
          torture tests the new ACE_TP_Reactor.

Thu Oct 01 00:09:35 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp: Fixed max_handles().

        * tests/Conn_Test: Removed template specialization for
          INET_Addr.hash().

        * ace/Addr.i (hash):
        * ace/INET_Addr.i (hash):

          Finally gave up with template specialization hell and freak'in
          broken compilers and simply added a hash() method to ACE_Addr
          and ACE_INET_Addr. ACE_Addr::hash() simply return 0 and should
          be overwritten by subclasses that can provide better hashing.

Wed Sep 30 10:16:56 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp: Modified max_handles() so that it goes the right
          thing on platforms like AIX that don't have any predefined limit
          on the number of handles.  Thanks to Chris Lahey
          <CLahey@cccis.com> for reporting this.

Wed Sep 30 01:56:54 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T:

          - ACE_Refcounted_Hash_Recyclable::operator==(const T &rhs):
            Added new method to prevent implicit type conversions.

          - Changed ACE_Hash_Addr::hash_i to return u_long instead of
            size_t.  This makes it similar to the return value from
            hash().

          - Added hash caching ability to ACE_Hashable.

          - Removed the use of ACE_Hash_Addr inside the
            ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy.  This allows us to reduce
            implicit type conversions inside connect_svc_handler().

            Users are now required to specialize
            ACE_Refcounted_Hash_Recyclable<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i (void) instead
            of ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i(const ACE_INET_Addr&addr)

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: Changed template specialization of
          ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i(const ACE_INET_Addr&addr)
          to ACE_Refcounted_Hash_Recyclable<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i (void).

        * ace/OS.cpp (open): Fixed a couple of things that were broken
          with respect to when the SetFilePointer was called and when lock
          was released.  Also fixed the UNICODE version of open().  BTW,
          these functions had to be moved from OS.i to OS.cpp since the
          ACE_Managed_Object is not visible from OS.i.

Wed Sep 30 02:29:48 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/TTCP/ACE-C++/Makefile:
        * performance-tests/TTCP/ACE-C++/wrapper-new-ttcp.cpp:
          Hacked so it would compile, don't know anything further than
          that.

Tue Sep 29 21:55:52 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace.dsw: Removed Connector.cpp from the compile list since
          it is a files with template classes only.

Tue Sep 29 21:14:02 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (open): Grab a lock from the Object_Manager when
          O_APPEND is defined to simulate atomic behavior on most UNIX
          platforms.  Thanks to Irfan.

Tue Sep 29 19:16:57 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.h
        * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.cpp
        Added virtual methods for open() and close() that match the
        baseclass.  This will keep some compilers from complaining about a
        partial-overload attempt.  Thanks to Bob McWhirter for catching this.

Tue Sep 29 16:13:10 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T:
        * ace/Connector:

          Added accessors for the strategy.

Tue Sep 29 14:04:49 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * docs/tutorials/013/page08.html:  Removed link to message_queue.
        Thanks to Jeff Hellzen for pointing this out.

Tue Sep 29 11:05:04 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/README: removed ACE_HAS_ONLY_TWO_PARAMS_FOR_ASCTIME_R_AND_CTIME_R
          because it is no longer used.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

        * ace/config-fsu-pthread.h,config-mit-pthread.h,config-mvs.h,
          config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,config-tandem.h,README:
          removed ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_DSTATE_PTR because it is no longer used.
          Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

Mon Sep 28 20:35:49 1998  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.h:
        * ace/Containers_T.cpp: Added begin () and end () to
          ACE_Unbounded_Queue.

Mon Sep 28 16:06:05 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.*,Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: removed ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION's
          support for ACE_HAS_NATIVE_KEYS.  Now, if ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION
          is used and ACE_HAS_THREAD_SPECIFIC_STORAGE is #defined, then
          the ACE TSS emulation will use one native TSS key.

          ACE_TSS_EMULATION may be useful even on platforms that
          have native thread specific storage.  It offers these
          advantages:

          1) ACE's TSS emulation offers a configurable number of TSS
             keys, via ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_KEYS.  Most (all?) native TSS
             implementations have a fixed number of keys.  LynxOS 3.0.0,
             for example, only has three keys available to applications.

             ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_KEYS defaults to 64, to match the
             number of native keys on Windows NT.

          2) ACE's TSS emulation recycles deleted keys.  Some native TSS
             implementations, such as POSIX Draft 4, POSIX Draft 6, and
             Solaris, do not allow deletion of TSS keys.  Therefore,
             unused keys cannot be recycled.

          3) ACE's TSS emulation calls destructors on TSS objects in the
             main thread.  Solaris' native TSS, for example, does not.

          There is one known drawback to using ACE's TSS emulation:  it is
          slower than using native TSS.  The performance penalty is
          probably negligible for most applications, however.  It involves
          just an additional function call, an array index, and three numeric
          comparisons beyond the native TSS call.  The function call is
          _not_ a virtual function call.  (On MVS, there's an additional
          memcpy of the TSS key with TSS emulation.)

          TSS emulation is enabled by default in the ACE configurations
          for VxWorks, pSOS, and LynxOS.

          Many thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for
          expanding TSS emulation to platform that have native TSS.

Sun Sep 27 20:12:13 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/index.html: Linked in Tutorial 13

Sun Sep 27 18:53:25 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp:
          Instead of clearing the capacity and size in the
          free_search_structure() method we do it on the close()
          method. The first method is also used in other places...

Sun Sep 27 18:25:57 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (readdir_r): added __USE_POSIX test for three-arg
          ::readdir_r ().  Thanks to james@tsunami.com for providing
          the patch.

Sun Sep 27 09:35:04 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        *  docs/tutorials/013/*
           Completed Tutorial 013!  The code is up to date and compilable on
           RedHat Linux with egcs 1.1.  It may need some template help on other
           platforms.  The HTML is done and in synch with the code.

Sun Sep 27 01:52:36 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/INET_Addr.cpp:
          The get_host_name() method was returning the first name, and not
          looking up in the alias list for the right match with the
          address.

Sun Sep 27 00:18:48 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile: Updated dependency.

        * ace/OS.cpp (invoke):
        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (ace_thread_manager_adapter):
          (ACE_Thread_Exit::instance): Removed conditional macro
          ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_SIGMASK so the Thread_Exit instance can be place
          in TSS.  This was guarded by ACE_HAS_PTHERAD_1003_DOT_3 which
          later merged with ACE_HAS_PTHERAD_SIGMASK.  However, the
          origianl intension of this condition was to fix a bug in Xavier
          pthread implementation.  The effect of merging the two macros
          forces ACE_Thread_Exit be allocated from stacks which, in turn,
          prevent threads from exiting properly when pthread_cancel is
          used.

          Linux is the only platform that I know which uses Xavier thread
          library.  The bug has apparently been fixed.  If your platform
          segfaults while spawning threads, please let me know.  Thanks to
          Chris Gill for noticing the abnormal behavior when calling
          ACE_Thread::thr_cancel.

Sat Sep 26 23:20:52 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.cpp: Fixed the g++ warnings.

Fri Sep 25 23:19:52 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Sched_Params.cpp: use both ACE_HAS_STHREADS and
          ACE_HAS_PRIOCNTL.  With just ACE_HAS_PRIOCNTL, the
          min/max priority values weren't right on DU 4.0.  With
          this change, we're back to the strict POSIX interface
          on DU 4.0, and SunOS if ACE_HAS_STHREADS is not #defined.

Fri Sep 25 21:58:35 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (set_handle_limit): Added appropriate return value.

Fri Sep 25 22:10:38 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp:
          Map_Manager::close() did not reset the capacity or current size
          of the map.

Fri Sep 25 18:24:17 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.{h,cpp}: Had to allow the definition of
          POSIX_COMPLETION_STRATEGY for the do-nothing constructor on
          NT.

Fri Sep 25 18:07:19 EDT 1998   James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * A few more minor changes to docs/tutorials/013.  With luck, the
          HTML part will be done this weekend!

Fri Sep 25 14:51:54 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h:
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
        * ace/Proactor.h:
        * ace/Proactor.cpp:
          Implemented Asynch_Accept to work for AIO_CONTROL_BLOCKS strategy of
          completion notification.

          Defined an auxillary Accept_Handler called ACE_AIO_Accept_Handler in
          addition to the ACE_Asynch_Accept_Handler. ACE_AIO_Accept_Handler
          holds the notification pipe and does a read on it to handle the
          <ACE_Asynch_Accept::Result> coming from Asynch_Accept_handler.

          THANKS to Doug and Irfan for suggesting this 'notification pipe' based
          implementation for AIO_CONTROL_BLOCKS strategy, so that Proactor will
          work on platforms where POSIX4 RT_Signals are broken (Solaris 2.6 !)

          Note : Proactor uses AIO_CONTROL_BLOACKS strategy by default on
          POSIX4 platforms. Call the constructor with RT_SIGNALS to enable
          Real Time singal implementation.

          This should become very easier when we finish organizing these
          files according to the Bridge pattern.

Fri Sep 25 12:40:45 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.{5,6}.h: removed #define/#undef of
          ACE_THR_PRI_FIFO_DEF.  They're no longer needed with the
          hard-coded ACE_THR_PRI_* values for Solaris in ace/OS.h.

        * ace/OS.i: removed carriage returns.  Thanks to Darrell
          for noticing it.

        * tests/Handle_Set_Test.cpp: removed ACE_Node<ACE_HANDLE>
          template instantiation because it conflicted with the
          ACE_Node<ACE_INT32> instantiation in ace/Stats.cpp.

        * docs/ACE-porting.html: updated "auto configure" link.  Thanks
          to Ossama for reporting this.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (set_handle_limit): on platforms with
          ACE_LACKS_RLIMIT or ! RLIMIT_NOFILE, don't use
          ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN if the new_limit is <= the cur_limit.
          On those platforms, the limit can't be changed anyways,
          and the request was _not_ to increase the limit.  So,
          it's a no-op; just return 0.

Fri Sep 25 12:15:00 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: The following ACE_TRACE calls being made during the
          creation of the ACE_Log_Msg instance.  The ACE_TRACE calls then
          try to create the ACE_Log_Msg instance which then ends up
          executing the ACE_TRACE's.  Etc, etc, etc...

          Here are the methods with the ACE_TRACEs that I commented out to
          get ACE to run:

          ACE_IPC_SAP::~ACE_IPC_SAP
          ACE_SOCK::ACE_SOCK
          ACE_SOCK::~ACE_SOCK
          ACE_SOCK_IO::ACE_SOCK_IO

          ACE_Thread::keycreate
          ACE_Thread::setspecific

          Thanks to "Patrick J. McNerthney" <pat@cartia.com> for this bug
          report.

Fri Sep 25 10:10:12 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.i (cond_timedwait): Add EINTR to the list of errno values
          that get changed to ETIME on wait timeout. EINTR is from LynxOS.
          Thanks to David Levine for this fix.

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Remove the assertion that a timed out
          semaphore will return EINTR for ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT4.  All
          platforms expect ETIME, which is normalized in
          ACE_OS::cond_timedwait.

Thu Sep 24 22:31:30 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: hard-coded the ACE_THR_PRI_* values on suns.
          SunOS 5.6 could use sched_get_priority_min/max () for FIFO
          and RR.  But for OTHER, it returns negative values, which
          can't be used.  And, sched_get_priority_min/max () aren't
          supported in SunOS 5.5.1.  It would really be helpful
          if SunOS defined PRI_FIFO_MIN, etc., in sched.h, but
          it doesn't, probably because its process scheduling is
          so flexible.  Thanks to Russ Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for helping to figure this
          out.

Thu Sep 24 17:54:26 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
          Removed duplicate instantiation of a template, IRIX does not
          like this. Thanks to Ossama Othman
          <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> because his configure script
          detected the Asynch I/O calls on IRIX and enabled this ACE
          code.

Thu Sep 24 16:28:32 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_TYPEDEFS was defined
          for VC4.1 and VC4.2.  Template typedefs in Strategies_T.cpp
          broke the VC4.2 compiler.  Therefore, ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_TYPEDEFS
          was deprecated for VC4.1 and VC4.2. I also checked VC5.0 and it
          didn't work.  Therefore, for the time being, none of the VC
          compilers support ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_TYPEDEFS.  I didn't try
          VC6.0.

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (check_hint_i ): Changed the signature so
          that it is identical to find_or_create_svc_handler_i().  For
          some strange freakin reason, the VC4.2 could not gork
          check_hint_i() but was able to gork
          find_or_create_svc_handler_i.

        * ace/ACE_Library.mdp: Added Select_Reactor_Base.cpp and
          Container.cpp to make ACE build with VC4.2.

Thu Sep 24 13:30:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/README
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Bounded_Packet_Relay.{dsp,dsw}

          Updated README, added in MSVC++ project, workspace files.

Thu Sep 24 12:48:58 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_{Bounded,Fixed}_Set_Iterator::done),
          ace/Map_Manager.cpp (ACE_Map_Iterator_Base::done):
          added ACE_CAST_CONST to the static cast.  Thanks to Ossama for
          reporting a compilation failure on Sun C++ 4.2/Solaris 2.6
          without it.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (global_scale_factor): on Linux,
          only use BogoMips if the CPU is an alpha.  It would also
          work directly on Pentium Pro, but not other Pentiums.  With
          a little effort, it could be made to work there, see the
          BogoMips mini-HOWTO.  Thanks to Ossama for enlightening me
          on this corner of Linux.

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp (main): delete dynamically
          allocated reader_tasks and writer_tasks, and arrays, at end of test.

Thu Sep 24 09:17:32 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Containers_T.h: Added #include "ace/Containers.h" - AIX xlC
          needs this when instantiating templates.

        * ace/Dirent.cpp: Do the HP check using only compiler-defined
          preprocessor macros since config.h isn't included.

        * ace/OS.i: Fixed comments that referenced DCE threads.
          Changed readdir_r #ifdefs to handle pthreads drafts 4 and 6
          the same, and split HP-UX 10.x off as a non-conformant player.
          Thanks to David Levine for sorting this out with LynxOS.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Changed occurrences of
          ACE_HAS_DCE_DRAFT4_THREADS to ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT4.  Corrected
          a call to pthread_detach.  Changed a couple of calls to
          pthread_detach on HP-UX 10.x to duplicate the thread handle before
          the call because pthread_detach on HP-UX 10.x clears the handle
          and it was still needed.
          On AIX, xlC doesn't match the call to
          ACE_Thread::join(ACE_hthread_t, void ** = 0) correctly when the
          second arg is specified.  So call the 3-arg variety on AIX, knowing
          that the second arg is ignored underneath on pthreads.

Wed Sep 23 22:13:04 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@chiroptera.tragus.org>

        * docs/tutorials/006/server.cpp:
        Wrapped !defined(ACE_HAS_GNU_REPO) around the explicit template
        instantiation.

        * docs/tutorials/005/client_handler.cpp (handle_input):
        * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp (svc):
        * docs/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp (handle_input):
        * docs/tutorials/007/client_handler.cpp (svc):
        * docs/tutorials/007/client_handler.cpp (handle_input):
        Use ACE_OS::memset() instead of direct call to memset()

        * docs/tutorials/005/Makefile:
        * docs/tutorials/007/Makefile:
        Touch .depend if it does not exist.

Wed Sep 23 22:03:19 1998  Arturo Montes  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>

      * ace/config-sco-5.0.0.h: added ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R.

Wed Sep 23 14:26:44 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

      * docs/tutorials/005/server.cpp

        Fixed explicit template instantiaions in
        tutorials 5, 6, 7.

        Fixed a nasty bug in 9's Makefile (and removed
        similar comment in 8's Makefile)

        Preliminary version of 013 committed.  The code
        worked before I began "optimizing" and should work
        again in a couple of days.  The HTML is not yet
        done but will be by the weekend (I hope).

Wed Sep 23 12:15:21 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Stats.*: modified standard deviation calculation to
          help avoid overflow.  Instead of keep running totals of
          the sum and sum of squares, it stores each sample in an
          dynamic structure.  Then, to calculate the standard
          deviation, each sample is compared with the mean.

        * ace/Sched_Params.cpp: replace ACE_HAS_STHREADS with
          ACE_HAS_PRIOCNTL.  Thanks to Ossama for pointing this out.

        * ace/Synch.h: replaced #endif /* ACE_HAS_STHREADS */ with
          #endif /* 0 */.

        * performance-tests/TTCP/{ACE-C++,C,Orbix}/Makefile: removed
          old Quantify LINK_COMMANDs.  They don't look like they're used
          anywhere.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: removed -DACE_QUANTIFY
          and -Dquantify, with quantify=1, because they're no longer used.

        * ace/OS.h,README: added ACE_LACKS_CMSG_DATA_{MACRO/MEMBER} support.
          It will be used by autoconf, for Linux libc5 (pre-libc).  Thanks
          to Ossama for supplying it.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h: disable ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION
          with g++ 2.9.  Thanks to Andrew G. Harvey <agh@cisco.com> for a
          problem with compiling ace/Filecache.cpp with g++ 2.9 on SunOS 5.5.1.

        * tests/Upgradeable_RW_Test.h: replaced ACE_Thread_Mutex with
          ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: commented out the msg_accrights(len)
          #defines.  Thanks to Ossama for noticing that they just don't
          look right.  They no longer appear to be necessary on Linux.

Wed Sep 23 11:30:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers_T.{h,cpp}

          Fixed memory leaks uncovered by Purify, added large high water mark
          for packet relay's underlying message queue.

Wed Sep 23 11:28:13 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/Process_Unix.pm:
          If the exec() call fails we report the name and the arguments of
          the program.

Wed Sep 23 09:27:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Dirent.cpp: Fixed aCC workaround from 22-Sep so that only
          non-g++ compilers on HP-UX see it.

Wed Sep 23 02:21:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.42 released.

Tue Sep 22 21:34:31 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Dirent.cpp: Make aCC quit yacking about an empty translation
          unit.

        * ace/OS.i: Fix up the conditions for readdir_r on differing pthreads
          drafts.

        * ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: Added ACE_HAS_DIRENT.

Tue Sep 22 21:00:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers_T.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/bpr_thread.cpp:

          More fixes from testing on NT, added more logging features.

Tue Sep 22 17:07:17 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp (Watermark_Test):
          Repositioned a comma so it compiles on non-threaded platforms.
          Thankd to Ossama for noticing this.

Tue Sep 22 17:20:53 1998  James Hu <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Containers_T.{h,i}:
          Added a remove method to the ACE_DLList_Iterator.  This is
          needed since ACE_DLList is actually an abstraction over
          ACE_Double_Linked_List, so the user of ACE_DLList does not hold
          the address of the "real" node that ACE_Double_Linked_List is
          managing.

Tue Sep 22 16:07:53 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * bin/Makefile: Will now only build envinfo if make is invoked
          with "envinfo=1".  The difference is needed to allow clone to be
          built before ACE has been built.

Tue Sep 22 13:58:06 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h:
          Added some missing defines, thanks to JM Strauss
          <jms97@club-internet.fr> for pointing them out. Also fixed a
          test for the N32 ABI, it said _NABI32 and should be _ABIN32.

Tue Sep 22 11:42:17 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added ACE_HAS_POWERPC_TIMER with
          __powerpc__, but commented it out because it requires an OS patch.

        * ace/OS.i (fstat): put a :: in front of the call to the
          system fstat if it's not defined as a macro.  Thanks to
          Ossama for reporting that MM_Shared_Memory_Test failed
          otherwise.

Tue Sep 22 10:58:04 1998  Ossama Othman <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (ACE_cond_t::waiters): only define this function if
          ACE_HAS_THREADS.

          Testing the autoconf integration on a Linux libc5 system w/o
          threads caused me problems since ACE_LACKS_COND_T gets
          defined by the configure script automatically since no
          condition variable support was found.  The ACE_cond_t class
          appears to only get defined if ACE_HAS_THREADS is defined,
          otherwise ACE_cond_t is typedefed to an int.  For
          this reason, I thought that it would be a good idea to make
          the above modification to prevent compile time errors on
          platforms without threads and when ACE_LACKS_COND_T is
          defined on those platforms.

Tue Sep 22 03:09:07 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.41 released.

Tue Sep 22 00:31:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Record.cpp (print): Make sure that the process id and
          timestamp are fixed width.  Thanks to Valery Arkhangorodsky
          <avalery@geocities.com> for this fix.

Mon Sep 21 22:54:44 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay: Removed a gratuitous
          parameterized type which was causing problems for SunC++.

Mon Sep 21 21:47:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/README: added ACE_HAS_PURIFY and ACE_HAS_QUANTIFY.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added ACE_HAS_PURIFY
          and ACE_HAS_QUANTIFY support.  We should use these consistently.
          In addition, added -I support for Purify and Quantify.
          This support should no longer appear in individual Makefiles.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added paragraph on Purify/Quantify support
          details, i.e., they must be on your PATH, and ACE puts the
          instrumented libraries below /tmp by default.

Mon Sep 21 20:46:00 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers_T.cpp (ACE_Double_Linked_List): Changed
          dynamic_cast to static_cast.

Mon Sep 21 18:35:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers_T.{h,cpp} (new)
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/bpr_thread.cpp:

          Factored out templates into separate files, fixed initialization,
          concurrency, and deadlock problems found in NT testing.

Mon Sep 21 18:27:19 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: g++ cannot gork templates typedefs.

Mon Sep 21 15:48:34 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Acceptor: It's now possible to select if you want to reuse
          the PEER_ACCEPTOR addr.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for suggesting
          this.

Mon Sep 21 15:00:34 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,cpp} (join): Allow passing back of thread's
          exit status of the thread being joined.

Mon Sep 21 11:24:33 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-categories.html (HREF): Updated the links to ace/ and
          man/ since we moved the file around.  Thanks to Byron Harris for
          reporting this.

Mon Sep 21 10:22:17 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (handle_error): Check handles for all
          errors (not just EBADF) on Win32, in addition to MVS.  Thanks
          to Xu Yifeng <xuyifeng@www.kali.com.cn> for this fix.

Mon Sep 21 01:27:19 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (find_or_create_svc_handler_i): g++ cannot
          gork templates...

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: Fixed template instantiations.

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy): New methods
          find_or_create_svc_handler_i and check_hint_i to simplify
          connect_svc_handler. Also added _i methods to implement
          non-locking versions.

        * ace/Strategies.h (ACE_Connection_Recycling_Strategy):
          New methods: mark_as_close and cleanup_hint.

        * ace/Strategies: Added three new classes: ACE_Recyclable,
          ACE_Hashable, and ACE_Refcountable.  Also added
          ACE_Refcounted_Hash_Recyclable. Deprecated ACE_Recyclable<T> and
          ACE_Hash_Recyclable<T>

        * ace/Svc_Handler.h (cleanup_hint): Added new method.  This can be
          used by users when they are through with using the svc_handler
          as a hint.

Mon Sep 21 00:40:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}

          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/bpr_thread.cpp
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/README:

          Reorganized construction of input and output device objects
          and the relay object, cleaned up readme file.

Sun Sep 20 22:01:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.h:

          Made Bounded_Packet_Relay_Driver::display_menu (void) pure virtual:
          now it all compiles *and* links.

Sun Sep 20 21:49:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{h,cpp}

          Fourth checkin of bounded packet relay example: compiles.

Sun Sep 20 20:41:29 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Acceptor.{h,cpp}: Added an extra argument to constructors of
          ACE_Strategy_Acceptor and open method so that we can accept only
          one connection request every time handle_input is called.

Sun Sep 20 20:30:36 1998  Marina Igorevna Spivak  <marina@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h : added ACE_GUARD_THROW, ACE_GUARD_THROW_RETURN,
          ACE_NEW_TRY_THROW, ACE_NEW_TRY_THROW_RETURN macros to utilize
          new exceptions macros.

Sun Sep 20 19:18:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/README

          Third checkin of bounded packet relay example,
          addressed remaining coding style issues.
          (very rough, still does not compile)

Sun Sep 20 16:38:17 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.i (get_next): Changed to use static_cast.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Shielded off terminated_thr_list_ from
          compilation on VxWorks.  Thanks to David for noticing this.

Sun Sep 20 12:17:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}
          examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/BPR_Drivers.{h,cpp}

          Second checkin of bounded packet relay example,
          addressed several coding style issues.
          (very rough, still does not compile)

Sun Sep 20 11:25:52 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: with ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION, use u_long instead of
          u_int for ACE_thread_key_t.  This avoids overload ambiguity
          on platforms that typedef pthread_key_t to u_int.  We'll be
          in trouble if we try on one that uses u_long.  In that case,
          we could try u_short, or added an ACE_HAS.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.i (register_as_terminated): neutered on VxWorks,
          so that it will compiled.

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (host_is_up): don't define
          this function ifdef ACE_LACKS_GETHOSTENT, because it isn't
          used in that case.

Sat Sep 19 14:29:56 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (fstat): Removed the "::" in front of the fstat() call
          since it's implemented as a macro on some platforms.  Thanks to
          Frank Adcock <frank@bushlife.com.au> for reporting this.

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay: Updated the coding style.

Sat Sep 19 14:06:52 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/JAWS/PROTOTYPE/JAWS/IO.cpp: Fixed typo.

        * ace/ace_dll.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Client_Test.dsp:
        * netsvcs/lib/netsvcs.dsp:
          Changed behavior of all DLL projects and utilities (like
          gperf) to put the dll and executables in $ACE_ROOT/bin.

        * ace/config-win32.h: ACE_HAS_GPERF is back.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: On NT, $ACE_ROOT/bin should now be in
          your path instead of $ACE_ROOT/ace.

Sat Sep 19 12:27:31 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: thread_function() is only for UNIX.

Sat Sep 19 10:43:41 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp (open): Fixed the build errors with WIN32.

Sat Sep 19 09:02:00 CDT 1998  Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Bounded_Packet_Relay/Thread_Bounded_Packet_Relay.{h,cpp}

Sat Sep 19 00:42:53 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: Fixed NT warnings (hopefully :-)

Fri Sep 18 22:50:21 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,i,cpp}: Added a join method to reclaim
          OS/ACE resources that are used to managed thread object.  I
          encourage all ACE programmers to use ACE_Thread_Manager::join to
          wait for threads spawned by ACE_Thread_Manager.  It is more
          portable than ACE_Thread (most significantly, wrt resource
          management.)
          (wait_grp,wait_task):  Improved and corrected the
          implementations.  These two methods now also clean up resources
          used by threads that has already terminated when the calls get
          invoked.

          Changed the terminated_thr_queue_ to terminated_thr_list_ which
          is now a double-linked list.  This change allows us to
          gather/cleanup infomation of threads belong to same group/task
          in one pass.

          ACE_Thread_Manager::exit now tests the thread status to see if
          ACE_THR_JOINING is set or not.  If set, it means the thread is
          being joined by join/wait_grp/wait_task and avoid double
          removing the thread resources from OS.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_Thread_State): Added ACE_THR_JOINING to identify
          threads that are being joined by the Thread Manager.

        * ace/Container_T.{h,cpp} (ACE_Double_Linked_List): Added several
          dynamic_cast in several places so we can generate code for both
          base class and derived class.
          (ACE_Double_Linked_List_Iterator): Added a method
          "advance_and_delete" to allow removing double-linked list
          element while iterating thru the list.  The design is very
          intrusive and you should know what you are doing before using
          the method.  Notice that ACE_Double_Linked_List is _not_ a
          general purpose Container class.

        * tests/run_tests.bat: Added DLList_Test.

Fri Sep 18 18:06:19 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h:
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp:
        Implemented Asynch_Accept for POSIX4 systems, by having only one
        thread doing <handle_events>. Asynch_Accept_Handler has been
        changed to act as Event Handler now. No problem of having threads
        blocking on the <accept> now.  Thanks to Irfan for this idea.

Fri Sep 18 13:26:50 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/High_Res_Timer_Test.cpp (check): raised success
          threshold from 10 to 25 percent.  Ossama saw just over
          10 percent on an Linux box, not surprising.  Thanks to
          him for reporting it.

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp (unsubscribe): on other than ACE_WIN32,
          added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs for protocol_family and protocol.  Thanks
          to Peter Liqun Na <liqunna@cs.sunysb.edu> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Emulation_cleanup): added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (ptr).

        * bin/make-release: enter version number(s) into BUG-REPORT-FORM.
          Thanks to Steve for this suggestion.

Fri Sep 18 01:53:38 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.40 released.

Fri Sep 18 01:51:46 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE (open_temp_file): Changed the signature of this method
          to take a const char * rather than a char *.

Fri Sep 18 00:07:31 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.h (ACE):
        * ace/ACE.cpp (open_temp_file): Added this method to do open for
        the temp files, so that they will get deleted when they are
        closed.
        Thanks to Nanbor and Carlos.

Thu Sep 17 23:01:50 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Containers.i: resurrected the file properly.

        * ace/Containers.i (~ACE_DLList_Node): removed extraneous ;
          following function definition.

Thu Sep 17 22:44:17 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp: If the client
          doesn't connect to the server, make sure to shut down the test
          gracefully, rather than getting a segfault.  Thanks to
          Margherita Vittone Wiersma <vittone@fndaub.fnal.gov> for
          reporting this.

Thu Sep 17 19:27:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (TSS_base,some ACE_PSOS_Time_t functions):
          removed ACE_INLINE.

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp (gen_size): cast
          &seed to unsigned long first, to avoid warning about
          narrowing on Alphas (cxx/DU 4.0).

          Thanks to Krishna Padmasola for providing the proper code
          and to Clinton Carr for reminding me to do it!

        * ace/SPIPE_Stream.i:
          Moved back to iovec instead of ACE_IO_Vector. Since this
          structure is defined by ACE we can make it binary compatible
          with the WSABUF structure (yet preserve the names of the UNIX
          iovec struct).  This allow us to simply pass arrays of iovec to
          routines expecting WSABUF*.
          But Win32 does not provide any functions to go scatter-gather
          over files, so this is only used for sockets, new methods:
          ACE_OS::sendv() and ACE_OS::recvv() were added for this
          purpose, the old emulation is used for the other classes. Users
          writing to higher-level components (such as ACE_SOCK or
          ACE_SOCK_Dgram) will benefit from this without any changes to
          their code.

        * ace/OS.i:

        * ace/ace_dll.dsp:
          Added Containers.cpp to the project.

Thu Sep 17 11:23:49 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS: Modified ACE_THR_FUNC so that its signature is always
          void *(*)(void *).  We now have a new type called
          ACE_THR_FUNC_INTERNAL that is defined for each different OS
          platform, e.g., VxWorks, pSoS, et al.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver.cpp (run_server): Oops,
          we can't use ACE_THR_FUNC here since that has a different
          signature on VxWorks.  So we'll just expand this a bit.  Thanks
          to Raja Ati <rati@jupiter.montereynets.com> for reporting this.

Thu Sep 17 09:54:56 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp (new): cleaned up the ACE_ASSERT check
          for ACE_Dynamic::instance () not being null.

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added guideline to define ACE_
          typedefs to reduce the number of #ifdefs.  Thanks to
          Carlos and Doug for this suggestion, and Chris for the
          example :-).

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver.cpp (run_event_loop):
          added casts to ACE_THR_FUNC to please VxWorks.  Thanks to
          Raja Ati <rati@montereynets.com> for reporting this problem.

          It would probably be better to change the definition of
          ACE_THR_FUNC on VxWorks (and PSOS) to be the same as on
          other platforms.  That will require other changes, though.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-fancy.cpp:
          removed trailing ; from instantiation #pragma.

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION.

Thu Sep 17 09:23:01 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@JIG>

        * ace/FIFO_Send_Msg.cpp:
          Fixed variable declaration, "struct ACE_IO_Vector_Base" is not
          the same as "ACE_IO_Vector_Base".

        * ace/OS.i:
          Fixed the ACE_OS::rand_r() signature for Win32.

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp:
          Fixed some problems with the Win32 implementation of
          unsubscribe().

Thu Sep 17 08:41:14 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp:

        * ace/Containers.i:
          Resurrected this file to avoid problems with dependencies in
          TAO.

Thu Sep 17 08:41:24 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

Thu Sep 17 07:31:13 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

          template instantiations inside Containers.cpp.  Removed
          #if guards around ACE_DLList since it no longer relies
          on the feature that was being guarded against.

        * ace/Containers.h:
          Simply #includes Containers_T.h.

        * ace/Containers.cpp:
          Only contains some explicit template instantiations.

        * ace/Containers.i:
          Removed, since it was no longer needed.

Thu Sep 17 01:20:53 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Msg_WFMO_Reactor.cpp (dispatch_window_messages): There was a
          slight problem in Msg_WFMO_Reactor.cpp when ACE coexists with
          MFC.  Basically the dispatch_window_messages routine simply
          returns -1 when the WM_QUIT message is received.  However, if
          the WFMO_Reactor and the MFC application run on the different
          threads the main thread would never shut down since it just keep
          waiting forever for the Quit message from other threads.  The
          easiest way to fix the above problem to call PostQuiteMessage
          when WM_QUIT is received by WFMO_Reactor.

          Thanks to Hongbo Xu <hxu@mas.co.nz> for fixing this.

        * ace/OS.i (open): No need to find the file size since
          SetFilePointer supports FILE_END.  Also fixed the UNICODE
          version of ACE_OS::open().

          The ACE_DLList_Node and ACE_DLList_Iterator class are protected

Wed Sep 16 21:43:07 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

Wed Sep 16 20:42:16 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

          shield the differences between Win32 and UNIX.

Wed Sep 16 20:09:01 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
          ACE_OS::rand_r() is easier to use now. Just define a variable of
          that type and invoke ACE_OS::rand_r() with it, it even works on
          broken platforms that define it as a non-pointer.
          This is a brief example on how to use it:
          ACE_RANDR_TYPE seed;
          int r1 = ACE_OS::rand_r (seed);
          int r2 = ACE_OS::rand_r (seed);

Wed Sep 16 17:46:23 PDT 1998  James Hu <jxh@entera.com>

Wed Sep 16 18:21:45 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

          to ACE programming conventions.

        * ace/config-hpux-11.x-hpc++.h: Added ACE_HAS_DIRENT and
          ACE_HAS_GPERF to appease John Mulhern.

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp: Added ACE_reinterpret_cast()s to the
          sockaddr *'s to appease aCC on HP/UX 11.  Thanks to John Mulhern

          Tutorial 12.  This corrects some of the nastyness
          in number 11 by specializing the ACE_Message_Block
          to carry around the data.

Wed Sep 16 16:01:53 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.{h,i,cpp}: Disable inlining in
          Select_Reactor_T.i and always include them in .cpp file.  The
          latest version of SunCC can't grok this particular file and we
          just turn it off here.  We shall turn it back on once the
          problem gets fixed.  Thanks to Keith Brown
          <kalbrown@ix.netcom.com> for providing this temporary fix.

Wed Sep 16 13:41:50 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added more protection for the semun definition, i.e.,
          (defined (__GLIBC__) && defined (_SEM_SEMUN_UNDEFINED)).  This
          fixes problems with Linux, GLIBC 2.1, and PGCC.  Thanks to
          Marc Lehmann <pcg@goof.com> for reporting this.

Wed Sep 16 11:41:57 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: added ACE_HAS_POWERPC_TIMER support.

        * tests/High_Res_Timer_Test.cpp: added this new test.

        * tests/Makefile,run_tests.{bat,psosim,sh,vxworks}:
          added High_Res_Timer_Test.

        * ace/OS.* (readPPCTimer): unlined readPPCTimer for
          PowerPC.  If it was called more than once in a
          compilation unit, when inlined, the assembler complained
          about multiple definitions of the aclock symbol.

        * ace/Malloc_T.cpp (dump): fixed typo, cb_ptr instead of
          cp_ptr.  Thanks to Umar Syyid <usyyid@hns.com> for reporting this.

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp (worker): allow second group of TSS keys to
          be allocated, with TSS emulation.

        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp (new): added check that
          ACE_Dynamic::instance () is non-null before dereferencing it.
          ACE_ASSERT/return 0 if it is null.

Wed Sep 16 11:28:47 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Dump_Restore.cpp: In
          general, using iostreams in ACE causes more problems for us than
          it is worth since some systems do not support iostreams.  I have
          rewritten this file to not use iostreams but use
          ACE_DEBUG/ACE_ERROR instead.

Wed Sep 16 10:49:34 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/auto_compile: Updated to the new directory hierarchy in TAO.

Tue Sep 15 20:25:23 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/test_config.h: Always #undef ACE_NLOGGING so the tests
          will produce output!  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i: Added a new ACE_LACKS_TRUNCATE flag to work around
          platforms that lack the truncate() call.  Thanks to
          Sergio for reporting this.

Tue Sep 15 17:57:26 1998  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h: Added ACE_LACKS_TRUNCATE to VxWorks
          configuration.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_chorus_ghs.GNU: Changed the
          MVME_DIR to /project/doc/mvme/mvme177.

        * ace/ARGV.cpp (ACE_ARGV::argv_to_string): Fixed the problem where
          we were allocating space only for the length of the string whereas
          strecpy was inserting the extra '\0' leading to Array bounds write.

Tue Sep 15 16:34:47 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (gethrtime): added high-res timer support with
          g++ and ACE_HAS_POWERPC_TIMER.

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp},config-vxworks5.x.h,README: changed ACE_HAS_POWERPC
          to ACE_HAS_POWERPC_TIMER.

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added ACE_HAS_PENTIUM, to provide
          high-res timer support on LynxOS.

Tue Sep 15 13:33:26 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-{WinCE,g++-common}.h:
        * ace/OS.{h,i,cpp}: Deprecated ACE_LACKS_GETS and ACE_OS::gets (void).

        * apps/gperf/src/gperf_lib.dsp: Enabled c++ exception handling to
          avoid warning when compiling with standard c++ libraries.

Tue Sep 15 11:22:53 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * ace/OS.{h, i}:

          Added definition for the "stat" data structure. Also added the
          definition for the "truncate" function.

Mon Sep 14 23:28:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.39 released.

Mon Sep 14 21:46:36 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

          declarations.

Mon Sep 14 21:02:30 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Mem_Map.cpp (map_it): Removed the code for
          !ACE_HAS_P_READ_WRITE since we cover it in ACE_OS::pwrite.

        * ace/Filecache.cpp (ACE_Filecache_Object): Changed the
          lseek/write combo to pwrite.

Mon Sep 14 17:09:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h,OS.h,README: Removed all mention of
          ACE_LACKS_FIFO, which was no longer necessary.  Thanks to Ossama
          Othman <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for suggesting this.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (bind_port): Renamed sin to sock_addr to make the
          autoconf script happier.  Thanks to Ossama Othman
          <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for suggesting this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_mvs.GNU: Updated the MVS platform
          configuration as follows:

          changed:
            debug = 1
          to:
            debug = 0

          added:
            static_libs = 1

          and deleted the line:
            CCFLAGS       += $(CFLAGS)

          Thanks to Chuck Gehr <GehrCR@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM> for these
          changes.

        * apps/gperf/src/gperf.dsp:
        * apps/gperf/src/gperf_lib.dsp:
          Fixed the project by removing new.cpp (which disappeared a
          while back) and changed the code generation to DLL.  Now
          seems to work on NT.

        * ace/config-win32.h: ACE_HAS_GPERF now on NT.

Mon Sep 14 13:41:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS: Fixed qsort() and bsearch() so they work correctly for
          MVS.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for reporting this.

        * ace/config-mvs.h: Added

          #define ACE_HAS_DIRENT
          #define ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R

          so that things will work correctly for MVS.  Thanks to Chuck

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

        * ace/OS.h: Added /**/ between #include and <ace/sys_conf.h> in
          pSOS section to prevent a MSVC warning.

        * ace/OS.i (bsearch): If the function is not supported by the
          platform, return NULL instead of -1 so it behaves compatibly
          with most common implementation.

Mon Sep 14 09:37:09 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.h: Fixed a deadlock condition caused by acquiring
          the internal lock in multiple places during the same call.
          Thanks to Jorn Jensen <jornj@funcom.com> for reporting this.

Mon Sep 14 01:59:51 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.{h,i,cpp}: Added two new classes
          ACE_Thread_Pool_Strategy and ACE_Svc_Handler_Pool_Strategy for
          activating and creating Svc_Handler.  They should be used with
          the new TP_Reactor.  More to come...

        * docs/tutorials/006/notify.cpp
          No longer applicable.  This used spawn() to create the
          thread but the new version uses an ACE_Task<> derivative.

        * docs/tutorials/006/Makefile
          Removed dependency info.

        * docs/tutorials/007/thread_pool.cpp

          versions of IRIX

Sat Sep 12 22:39:47 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.i: There was a bug with strecpy() -- it should return a
          pointer to 1 byte PAST the '\0'...

Sat Sep 12 21:43:07 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timer_Hash.cpp: Removed the #pragma template instantiation
          for ACE_Timer_Node_T<ACE_Event_Handler *> because it is already
          instantiated in Timer_Queue.cpp.  Thanks to Sergio for noticing
          this.

Sat Sep 12 16:30:39 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

          Fixes to compile pSOS - added #if ! defined around new templates
          as template parameters stuff in Config.* (Diab compiler can't
          grok these), played with library linkage order platform macros.

Fri Sep 11 08:54:41 EDT 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver.cpp (run_event_loop):
          Changed to use ACE_Handle_Set instead of FD_SET.  It is more

        * tests/Priority_Buffer_Test.cpp (consumer): Changed the
          do-nothing if statements to ACE_UNUSED_ARG because NT doesn't
          like that.  Thanks to David for clarifying this.

Tue Sep  8 21:45:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

          PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED from the ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT6 section of
          mapping draft 6 names into the pthreads standard names.  The first
          two aren't used anywhere and the third is already defined on the
          known draft 6 platforms.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr and Arturo Montes for
          helping to straighten this out.

Tue Sep  8 15:10:42 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

          make the project to work on any type of intel processors.
          However, this disable the bug-fix to get around the infamous
          Pentium floating point problem.

        * netsvcs/lib/netsvcs.dsp:
        * netsvcs/servers/servers.dsp: Perform VC 6 modification.

Tue Sep 08 07:28:05 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (readdir_r): don't use the POSIX.1c ::readdir_r on
          suns without _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added
          ACE_HAS_GNUG_PRE_2_8 macro.  Use it for determining
          exceptions-related flags with g++.  It can also be used to
          suppress builds with old (pre-2.8) versions of g++; see
          TAO/tests/POA/TIE/Makefile for an example.

        * apps/Gateway/Gateway/File_Parser.cpp (getint):
          egcs 1.1b can't handle the FP_RETURN_TYPE typedef.  So,
          use FP::Return_Type with __GNUG__.

        * ace/config-chorus.h: added ACE_HAS_DIRENT and
          ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R.

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: don't use ACE_HAS_STRING_CLASS with
          LynxOS >= 3.0.0.  It requires that libg++ be linked in
          to the IOStream tests.

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: notify via email if a particular
          individual's attention is needed to address a comment in the code.

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: corrected comment:  the dump method
          is named output, because it takes an argument.

Mon Sep  7 22:12:02 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-freebsd.h: Added ACE_HAS_SIGINFO_T,
          ACE_LACKS_SIGINFO_H, ACE_LACKS_UCONTEXT_H, ACE_LACKS_SI_ADDR and
          ACE_HAS_DIRENT.

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h:
        * ace/config-linux-common.h: Added ACE_HAS_DIRENT.

          Cleanup on Tutorial 008 and creation of Tutorial 009 which expands
          008 by making the server more selective in who it responds to.

Mon Sep  7 10:06:54 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.h (ACE): Moved strnew (wchar_t *) into an ACE_WIN32
          section to protect it properly.  Thanks to David Levine for
          reporting this.

        * ace:config-sco-*.h: Added ACE_HAS_DIRENT on the advice of Arturo
          Montes <mitosys@colomsat.com.co>.

Mon Sep 07 09:52:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/ACE-guidelines.html: added general rule to put system
          call wrappers in ACE_OS, extensions in ACE.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h: added ACE_HAS_DIRENT and
          _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS.  The latter was necessary
          to tell ACE_OS::readdir_r () to use the three-arg
          ::readdir_r ().

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added ACE_HAS_DIRENT.

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (log): initialized local "c" to '\0' so that
          egcs 1.1b won't complain that it might be used without
          initialization.

        * ace/OS.i,ace/config-osf1-4.0.h (readdir_r): use
          ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_STD instead of _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS to
          select the three-arg ::readdir_r ().

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

        * ace/OS.i,config-vxworks5.x.h (readdir_r,rewinddir,seekdir,telldir),
          README:
          added support for ACE_LACKS_READDIR_R, ACE_LACKS_SEEKDIR, and
          ACE_LACKS_TELLDIR.

        * ace/OS.i (opendir): added const_cast to remove constness
          from the argument, because VxWorks' header doesn't declare
          it const.  This shouldn't cause a problem on other platforms.

Mon Sep  7 01:02:58 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.i: Changed ACE_INLINE to ASYS_INLINE.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a no-op type define for DIR and struct
          dirent so compilation can continue on NT.

        * ace/ace_dll.dsp:
        * ace/ace_lib.dsp:
          Added new dirent.* files and removed Array.{cpp,i} files.

Sun Sep  6 15:49:46 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE: Added several new helper string functions, which were
          mined from the drwho program.

        * ace/OS: Moved strnew() into class ACE, which is where it
          belongs...

        * ace/Containers: Merged the ACE_Array class entirely into the
          Containers files, which is more consistent with the general
          design of ACE.  Also, removed ace/Array.i and Array.cpp since
          they are no longer needed.  We'll keep Array.h around for a
          while for backwards compatibility, but it just #includes
          "ace/Containers.h" now...

        * ace/config-sunos5*.h: Added ACE_HAS_DIRENT.  We'll need help
          figuring this out on the other platforms...

        * ace/OS: Began adding "Dirent" support to ACE_OS.  This will
          provide the UNIX/POSIX directory iterator routines when the
          ACE_HAS_DIRENT macro is enabled.

        * ace/OS: Added fputs() to ACE_OS.  I'm not sure why this was
          missing...

        * ace/Makefile (FILES): Moved Priority_Reactor to earlier in
          the Makefile to maintain alphabetical order.

Sun Sep  6 14:06:43 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the ACE_NEW_THROW macros that Matt Braun wrote
          into ACE so that we can use these in all applications.

Sun Sep 06 12:28:40 1998 Fred Kuhns <fredk@arl.wustl.edu>

        * Added a simple reactor/acceptor figure to the first tutorial
          docs/tutorial/001/simple.*

Sun Sep 06 08:34:57 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-g++-common.h,ace/README,tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
          renamed ACE_HAS_OLD_GNUG to ACE_HAS_GNUG_PRE_2_8.

Sat Sep  5 15:31:33 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Removed ACE_HAS_IRIX_GETTIMEOFDAY and all of its uses
          throughout ACE.  It was no longer necessary.  Thanks to Ossama
          for reporting this.

        * ace/Synch.h: Added a "no-op" ACE_Barrier for cases where we
          don't have ACE_HAS_THREADS enabled.

Fri Sep  4 18:56:36 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Name_Proxy.cpp:
          Fixed spurious double assignment (int foo = foo = bar;), thanks
          to thanks to John Mulhern <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for
          reporting this.

Fri Sep 04 18:54:32 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp (ACE_Select_Reactor_T): Made sure that
          all references to Select_Reactor have the template argument in
          them.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr <GehrCR@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM> for
          sending the patches.

Fri Sep  4 18:29:29 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp: Changed to use
        "test_proactor.cpp" as input file.

Fri Sep  4 17:51:17 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.cpp:
        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp:
        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.h:
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp:
        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp:
                First round of changes for ACE_Asynch_Accept. Makes use of
        separate thread  for each accept call, each thread blocking on the
        ACE_OS::accept. Thanks to Irfan, a better implementation using
        TP_Reactor is currently being done.

Fri Sep  4 16:45:36 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace: Removed all traces of ACE_HAS_MT_SAFE_SOCKETS -- this was a
          vestige from Solaris 2.2!  Thanks to Ossama Othman
          <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for suggesting this.

        * ace/Service_Config: Changed the default value of
          ACE_Service_Config::debug_ from 1 to 0.  Thus, debugging is
          DISABLED by default.  If you want to enable debugging, pass the
          -d option to the constructor of ACE_Service_Config.

        * ace/Naming_Context.cpp,
          ace/Service_Config.cpp,
          ace/Service_Types.cpp,
          ace/Service_Repository.cpp: Now we only print out service config
          information if we're ACE::debug() is non-0.  This is more
          consistent with other parts of ACE.  Thanks to XuYifeng
          <xuyf@pop.zg169.net> for reporting this.

        * ace/Service_Config: Moved the debug() stuff from here and put it
          into class ACE so that it will be more globally visible.

Fri Sep 04 15:24:44 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.i: Here, we should use ASYS_INLINE which is always
          defined as inline on most platforms.

        * ace/Log_Msg.h (ACE_Log_Msg): Added a new ACE_DEBUG format
          character 'A' which prints out an ACE_timer_t value.  This is
          most useful when you want to print out the timers in
          ACE_Profile_Timer::ACE_Elapse_Time.  Thanks to Naga for
          providing the brilliant idea.

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp (main): Removed '.cpp' from
          ACE_START_TEST title string.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting
          this.

        * Makefile (CONTROLLED_FILES): Removed some documents from the
          list because they are in docs/ now.

        * tests/run_tests.bat: Removed trailing '.cpp' from
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.  Thanks to Jack Erickson
          <JErickson@exchange.ml.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i (signal): Added check for ACE_WIN32 to defeat the
          effect of !defined (ACE_LACKS_UNIX_SIGNALS).  Although Win32
          does has ACE_LACKS_UNIX_SIGNALS defined, it also has limited
          support for signals.  Thanks to XuYifeng <wj@public.hz.zj.cn>
          for reporting this.

Fri Sep 04 07:26:57 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.bin.GNU,wrapper_macros.GNU:
          moved VBIN definition from rules.bin.GNU to wrapper_macros.GNU.
          With this change, individual Makefiles need not define VBIN.

        * tests/run_tests.sh: removed -f so that temp file removal
          works properly.  Don't printout ipcs output unless it
          changes, for resources owned by the user.

Fri Sep 04 01:01:58 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe.h: Disable warning of using Microsoft Extensions.

Fri Sep 04 02:12:03 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.37 released.

Fri Sep  4 00:07:18 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inserver-fancy.cpp (open): Added
          template instantiations to make GCC happy.  Thanks to David
          Levine for reporting this.

Thu Sep 03 19:15:52 1998 Fred Kuhns <fredk@arl.wustl.edu>

        * docs/tutorial/006/client_acceptor.cpp: added
          typedef ACE_Svc_Handler <ACE_SOCK_STREAM, ACE_NULL_SYNCH > inherited;

Thu Sep 03 17:03:46 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Dynamic.cpp (instance): Removed the typedef in the header
          file because some compiler was having problems with it.  Thanks
          to baksoo@dbserver.kaist.ac.kr for reporting this.

Thu Sep 03 16:43:34 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): play the zero thread priority game
          on Solaris if defined (sun), not if defined (ACE_HAS_STHREADS).
          This allows POSIX threads to be created with a thread priority
          of 0 if _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L and _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS
          are defined.  Thanks to Russ Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for reporting this problem.

        * examples/Threads/tss2.cpp: added explicit ACE_Guard <ACE_Token>
          instantiation.

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp (main): changed "not supported"
          to "not available" in printout that indicates that the
          test will be run in time-sharing class, instead of
          a real-time class.  The test can still run in time-sharing
          class.  Thanks to Ossama for reporting this.

Thu Sep 03 16:14:16 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.i (ACE_Process_Mutex::remove): Reset this->lock_ to 0
          after removing the lock so we can avoid destroying the same
          kernel object twice.  Thanks to Detlef Becker
          <Detlef.Becker@med.siemens.de> for reporting this.

Thu Sep 03 15:43:22 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp: Fixed this file so that it works
          with egcs.

Thu Sep  3 14:51:06 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs: Moved ACE-{tutorials,guidelines,subsets,porting}.html
          into the docs directory from the etc directory.  This is
          a more "fitting" location...

Thu Sep  3 13:23:39 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile (CONTROLLED_FILES): Added docs/ into CONTROLLED_FILES.

Thu Sep 03 09:24:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.cpp: added ACE_Guard <ACE_Lock> instantiation.

        * ace/SPIPE_Stream.i (recv_handle): replaced "recvfd = recvfd" with
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG (recvfd) to avoid egcs 1.1 warning about a
          statement with no effect.

Thu Sep 03 00:26:23 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Time_Request_Reply.cpp (ACE_Time_Request): The second
          parameter should be of type ACE_UINT32.

Wed Sep  2 22:52:32 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.cpp,
        * ace/Time_Request_Reply.cpp: Fixed up yet another
          minor mismatch caused by the ACE_SUCCESS/ACE_FAILURE fixes...
          Thanks to David Levine for tracking these down.

Wed Sep 02 20:55:18 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.36 released.

Wed Sep  2 19:21:25 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Name_Request_Reply.cpp: Continued to cleanup the residue of
          the ACE_SUCCESS and ACE_FAILURE changes.  Thanks to David Levine
          for reporting this.

Wed Sep 02 19:08:29 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Template_Instatiations.cpp: commented text following
          an #endif.

Wed Sep 02 16:46:45 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.35 released.  BTW, these releases were aborted
          due to CVS hiccups.  We've got to figure out a better way to
          roll this stuff back...

Wed Sep 02 16:33:25 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.34 released.

Wed Sep 02 16:31:22 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Make sure ACE_NO_INLINE is not defined before defining
          it to avoid double defining the macro.  Thanks to Ossama Othman
          <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for suggesting this.

Wed Sep  2 11:10:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task.cpp (activate): Remmber to decrement the thr_count_ if
          spawn_n() fails.  Thanks to Russ Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for reporting this fix.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp: Fixed another
          void * -> char * problem.  Now this stuff all seems to build
          fine.

Wed Sep 02 10:07:15 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Name_Request_Reply.{h,cpp}: reverted ACE_SUCCESS to SUCCESS
          because other ACE code depended on it.

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (~ACE_Object_Manager_Base): moved
          internal_lock_ deletion inside ACE_MT_SAFE protection.  Thanks
          to Dongwook Kim <baksoo@dbserver.kaist.ac.kr> for reporting this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: updated comments
          to recommend not using Sun C++ 4.1.

Wed Sep 02 09:34:32 1998  Oliver M. Kellogg <Oliver.Kellogg@vs.dasa.de>

        * ace/OS.i (sigwait): use __sigwaitd10 with g++ on DU 4.0.

Tue Sep  1 20:44:15 PDT 1998  James C. Hu <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Filecache.cpp:
        * ace/UPIPE_Stream.cpp: I guess nobody uses GCC anymore.  Fixed
          some template instantiation problems in Filecache.cpp and
          UPIPE_Stream.cpp.  I guess, eventually all of this will be moved
          into the Template_Instantiations.cpp file, but until then...

Tue Sep 01 20:59:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (ts_object): commented test appearing after the #endif.

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): expanded/added comment to
          clarify the with/without ACE_LACKS_RWLOCK_T distinction.

        * ace/OS.i (sigwait): fixed indentation.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (get_ip_interfaces): removed trailing } after comment
          following #endif.

        * etc/ACE-guidelines.html: added section on scripts.  Added rule
          to prefix constants and enum values with ACE_ or TAO_.

Tue Sep  1 19:05:05 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp: Added a new version that should work
          on Linux.  Thanks to Eric Newton for this fix.

Tue Sep  1 19:40:03 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp:
          If ACE_LACKS_MOTIF is defined the test can use Athena
          Widgets. Thanks to Eric C. Newton <ecn@smart.net> for
          contributing this example.

Tue Sep  1 19:05:05 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Shared_Malloc/test_malloc.cpp (spawn): Fixed a minor
          problem with conversions from const char * literals to char *'s.
          Thanks to John Mulhern for reporting this problem.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-in{server,client}.cpp: Fixed all
          uses of void *request with char *request to stop ANSI C++
          compilers from complaining.  Thanks to John Mulhern for
          reporting this problem.

Tue Sep 01 16:22:06 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Filecache.cpp (init and ~ACE_Filecache_Object): Changed
          SUCCESS to ACE_SUCCESS.

Tue Sep 1 13:54:10 PDT 1998  James C. Hu <jxh@entera.com>

        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.i: Added a space () method that reports
          the amount of space remaining in the message block.

Tue Sep 1 3:50:39 US/Central 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

        * etc/tutorials/006/client_handler.cpp
          etc/tutorials/006/client_handler.h
          etc/tutorials/006/page04.html
          etc/tutorials/006/page05.html

          Added a close() method to Client_Handler so that it will be closed
          properly when the svc() method exits.

        * etc/tutorials/007/client_handler.cpp
          etc/tutorials/007/client_handler.h
          etc/tutorials/007/page05.html
          etc/tutorials/007/page06.html
          etc/tutorials/007/page09.html

          Added Client_Handler::close() that will be called when
          Client_Handler::svc() exits in the thread-per-connection model.
          Thread_Pool::svc() now calls the handler's handle_close() method
          to properly shut down the handler if handle_input() fails.

          ACE_HAS_LONG_FDMASK macro has been changed to
          ACE_HAS_BIG_FD_SET.  Therefore, I updated these files.  Thanks
          to Ossama Othman <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for reporting
          this.

Tue Sep 01 10:21:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp (cleanup, worker): with ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT4,
          delete the tss instances in cleanup instead of worker.  This gets
          rid of the memory leaks on those platforms.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added
          -hidden [...] -non_hidden magic.  See comments in the file;
          this solves a problem with mutiply defined symbols between
          shared libraries and DEC's libcxxstd.a.  It only affected
          tests/IO_Stream_Test.

Tue Sep 01 10:03:55 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.33 released.

Tue Sep 01 03:46:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.{h cpp}: Enable the contents for platforms
          with ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS, not just ACE_WIN32.  Thanks to John
          Mulhern for these fixes.

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/Makefile: Removed include of
          platform_macros.GNU. Thanks to John Mulhern for this one too.

Mon Aug 31 16:38:03 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-kcc-common.h: Added ACE_HAS_CPLUSPLUS_HEADERS to

          Todd Pack <todd@rwii.com> for reporting this.

        * Added a bunch of patches so that ACE compiles and passes its
          tests on Chorus with gcc.  Thanks to Alberto Villarica"
          <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for reporting this.

Mon Aug 31 14:02:34 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace.dsw:
        * ace/ace_dll.dsp:
        * ace/ace_lib.dsp:
          Updated to MSVC 6, which consisted of changing the
          version number insde to 6.00.  This change gets it
          to work in both 5 and 6, without any trouble.

Mon Aug 31 12:25:15 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.*: reorganized to provide the
          ACE_Object_Manager_Base class.  This class contains
          the data structures used to support Singleton
          registration for destruction.

        * ace/ACE.{h,cpp}: added init () and fini ().  These
          currently just call the ACE_Object_Manager's init ()
          and fini ().  The might be useful for applications
          that use ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER and
          ACE_DOESNT_INSTANTIATE_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER, and
          therefore need to explicitly initialize and finalize
          the ACE_Object_Manager singleton.

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp (test_timeout): a timed
          semaphore acquire fails on ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT4
          with EINTR instead of ETIME if it times out.  That's
          the way it's documented, as well as the way it behaves on LynxOS.

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp (cleanup): with DRAFT4 threads,
          don't do anything in the cleanup function.
          The intended use of this function doesn't apply.
          With Draft 4 threads, this function is called implicitly
          by pthread_setspecific whenever an old value is replaced.
          This function is intended to be used with Draft 6 and later
          threads, where it is called on thread termination with the
          thread-specific value.

        * tests/test_config.cpp: set ACE_MAX_PROCESSES to 4 on LynxOS,
          so that Process_Mutex_Test will succeed.

Sun Aug 30 23:05:34 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor_T.cpp: Should include ace/Thread.h also.
          Thanks to J. Russell Noseworthy <rnosewor@objectsciences.com>
          for reporting this.

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: Added explicit template instantiation
          for ACE_Lock_Adapter<ACE_Select_Reactor_Token_T<ACE_Noop_Token>>.
          Thanks to Eric C. Newton <ecn@smart.net> for reporting this.

Sun Aug 30 07:44:54 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h,ace/README,
          include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU:
          use ACE_LACKS_RTTI instead of ACE_HAS_RTTI without rtti,
          with Sun CC on SunOS 5.5.  That removes all use of ACE_HAS_RTTI
          from ACE.

        * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.h: added #include of ace/Singleton.h.

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks: commented out Dynamic_Priority_Test.
          It now causes VxWorks to go to never-never land.

        * ace/config-g++-common.h,ace/README,tests/Conn_Test.cpp:
          added ACE_HAS_OLD_GNUG.  Thanks to Doug for this suggestion.

        * ace/Token.cpp (ACE_Token_Queue_Entry ctor): added
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG (m) ifdef ACE_TOKEN_USES_SEMAPHORE.

Sun Aug 30 00:14:29 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Object.cpp (fini): Make sure to check the
          <fini_already_called_> flag before proceeding. Also
          ~ACE_Service_Type() now calls this->fini().

        * ace/Svc_Handler:
        * ace/Dynamic:

          Patrick J. McNerthney <pat@cartia.com> described this problem:
          ________________________________________

          ACE_Svc_Handler creates an
          ACE_TSS_Singleton<ACE_Dynamic,ACE_SYNCH_NULL_MUTEX> singleton
          object to determine if the ACE_Svc_Handler is a dynamically
          created object or not.  ACE_TSS_Singleton declares the internal
          single instance of the ACE_Dynamic object as a
          ACE_TSS<ACE_Dynamic> data type.

          The first time this object is "referenced",
          ACE_TSS<ACE_Dynamic>::ts_init() is called, which in turn calls
          ACE_Thread::keycreate and registers
          ACE_TSS<ACE_Dynamic>::cleanup with it.  Since ACE_TSS is a
          template class, the vtable and the code of this object resides
          in the dynamically loaded service DLL.

          During termination, the Object Manager closes down the Service
          Configurator, causing all services to be shutdown, and their
          DLLs are unloaded.

          The Object Manager then calls ACE_OS::cleanup_tss which attempts
          to call the above registered ACE_TSS<ACE_Dynamic>::cleanup
          method.  Since the DLL has already been unloaded, the
          application faults trying to access the vtable.
          ________________________________________

          My earlier solution addressed this problem but only in
          ~Object_Manager(), i.e., at the end of the application, by
          carefully ordering the cleanup of singletons, tss, and the
          unlinking of libraries. To solve this more generically and to
          address this problem when DLLs are unlinked arbitrarily (and not
          only at the end of applications), I moved the typedef of
          ACE_TSS_Singleton<ACE_Dynamic> from Svc_Handler.h to
          Dynamic.h. Then the access to this singleton was changed from
          DYNAMIC::instance() to ACE_Dynamic::instance().

          This will force the generation of the code for this class to be
          in the ACE library rather than in a user's DLL.  Hence when TSS
          cleanup hooks and Object Manager are trying to clean this object
          up from ~Object_Manager, it won't crash as the code for this
          class is in ACE and not in the unlinked DLL.

          This issue raised a couple of interesting observations about
          ACE_Singleton and ACE_TSS_Singleton and DLLs:

          It is ok to use ACE_Singleton and ACE_TSS_Singleton in DLLs that
          are going to be unlinked at the end of the program.  For DLLs
          that may get unlinked *before* the end of the program, they must
          not use ACE_Singleton or ACE_TSS_Singleton. ACE_Singleton
          registers with the Object_Manager for deletion and therefore is
          accessed at the end of the application.  ACE_TSS_Singleton is
          very similar to ACE_Singleton.  Moreover, it uses tss cleanup
          hooks to clean up the thread specific storage.  Therefore, if
          the DLL lives shorter than the thread and/or the application, it
          must *not* use ACE_Singleton and ACE_TSS_Singleton.

          This motivates the need for ACE_DLL_Singleton<T>.  As usual,
          contributions to ACE are always welcome ;-) Many, many thanks to
          Patrick J. McNerthney <pat@cartia.com> for all his help!

Sat Aug 29 19:22:22 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/main.cpp (main): Fixed a stray
          l_argv[3] =  0;  I'm not sure why this was here...

Sat Aug 29 17:31:06 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-in{client,server,server-fancy}.cpp:
          Updated these tests to be more robust and better designed.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/Makefile: Added the
          CPP-inserver-fancy.cpp file.  I'm not sure why I'd omitted it
          for so long...

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-in{client,server}.cpp: Cleaned up
          the code a bit to avoid warnings.  Thanks to David Levine for
          reporting these.

Sat Aug 29 14:11:25 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/ACE-guidelines.html: added rule to not for a pointer
          being 0 before deleting it.  It's always safe to delete a
          0 pointer.  Thanks to James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com> for
          pointing this out.

Fri Aug 28 23:29:51 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-in{client,server}.cpp: Enhanced
          the client and server test so that it'll be a good benchmark for
          the "best case" to compare TAO against.

Fri Aug 28 21:53:13 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.h: Conditionalize setting of ACE_INFINITE on non-Win32
          to allow the platform config to define a value.

        * ace/config-hpux11.h: Define ACE_INFINITE as 10000000.  This value
          was empirically determined by John Mulhern.  Until we know why
          this had to be done, you may need to set a different value in
          your own config.h file.

Fri Aug 28 13:14:34 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/main.cpp: Made the file CE
          friendly.  Added "-y" to service configurator so we can still
          test static services.

Fri Aug 28 13:45:28 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_lynxos.GNU: added HOST_OS
          support for PowerPC target.  It has a slightly different
          name (sunos-xcoff-ppc) than for x86 target (sunos-coff-x86).

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: there doesn't seem to be an
          alloca () for PowerPC target.  So, only enable
          ACE_HAS_ALLOCA and ACE_HAS_ALLOCA_H ifdef __x86__.

Fri Aug 28 12:30:57 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/create_ace_build:
          Now it will cleanup dead links on the build directory.

Fri Aug 28 09:45:53 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch: Fixed the constructor of ACE_Null_Condition so that
          it's consistent with ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex.  Thanks to
          Mats Nilsson <mats.nilsson@xware.se> for reporting this.

Fri Aug 28 08:33:20 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN):  Given null definitions for
        FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN for Non Win32  platforms.

Thu Aug 27 19:40:32 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.i: Changed an erroneous ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_DRAFT6 to
          ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT6.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for catching this.

Thu Aug 27 15:47:34 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.cpp (handle_signal): Fixed code for looping around
          handle_events().  Thanks to Marc Penner <mpenner@rst.inri.com>
          for pointing out the problem.

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Countdown_Time::stop): Removed the setting of
          errno to ETIME when we have used all of timeout.  This was
          necessary since this errno was interfering with errno being set
          by other parts of ACE.

Thu Aug 27 13:45:31 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:  Added /**/ between "#include" and
          "<ace/sys_conf.h>".  Otherwise, MSVC spits out warnings, tons of
          them.

        * ace/Profile_Timer.h (ACE_Profile_Timer): Remove the Win32
          section.  Win32 (except CE) actually uses the code in
          ACE_HAS_GETRUSAGE.

Thu Aug 27 13:12:04 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp :
        test_proactor_with_aio.cpp is removed.
        test_proactor.cpp should do well on Win as well as other
        POSIX4 compliant platforms (with some known bugs in Solaris2.6).

Thu Aug 27 11:35:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/ACE-guidelines.html: added rule to declare a loop index
          before the loop, if it's used after the loop.

        * ace/OS.h,README: added ACE_LACKS_RTTI support, for use with
          ACE_HAS_ANSI_CASTS without dynamic_cast.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h (Sun CC only), config-osf1-4.0.h:
          added conditional ACE_LACKS_RTTI.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: added rtti=0
          support.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html,include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
          updated comments to reflect that rtti=0 is now supported on
          OSF1-4.0.  (It's not only supported on Sun CC/SunOS 5.)

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (host_is_up): broke out
          the code to test whether a host exists, is reachable, and
          is up into host_is_up ().  Consider the host up if the
          blocking connection attempt succeeds, or down if it doesn't.

Wed Aug 26 23:43:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.32 released.

Wed Aug 26 19:11:07 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/count_lines:
          A nice Perl script to count lines of code.

Wed Aug 26 17:35:43 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactors_Test.cpp (close): Oops, the ACE_ASSERT() was
          incorrect.  It should be

          ACE_ASSERT (Test_Task::task_count_ >= 0);

          Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.

Wed Aug 26 07:47:57 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.h: Added template specialization for
          ACE_Guard<ACE_Select_Reactor_Token_T<ACE_Noop_Token>> to speed
          thing up when using lock-freed Select_Reactor.

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: Removed template instantiation for
          ACE_Guard<ACE_Select_Reactor_Token_T<ACE_Noop_Token>> because
          it's been specialized in .h file.

Wed Aug 26 08:51:23 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_keycreate): On pthreads draft 6, the call is
          pthread_key_create, not pthread_keycreate.  Thanks to Arturo
          Montes <mitosys@colomsat.com.co> for this fix.

Wed Aug 26 08:32:18 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp (create_reactor):
          wrapped block in "if" statement with {} to prevent syntax
          error.  Yet another example of why we should always use
          {} in "if" statements :-)

Wed Aug 26 07:54:49 1998  J. Russell Noseworthy <rnosewor@objectsciences.com>

        * ace/OS.{i,cpp} (rwlock_init): use native ::rwlock_init on Solaris,
          even if ACE_HAS_STHREADS isn't defined.  This avoids a nasty
          bug on startup with only ACE_HAS_PTHREADS defined on Solaris.
          The ACE_Object_Manager fails to initialize its first
          preallocated object, and core dumps when trying to use
          the ACE_Log_Msg lock, which hasn't been initialized yet.

Tue Aug 25 21:26:29 1998  James CE Johnson <jcej@lads.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_linux_lxpthread.GNU:
          added NO_IMPLICIT_TEMPLATES support.  To disable
          -fno-implicit-templates, set NO_IMPLICIT_TEMPLATES
          to anything in either your environment or on the
          make command line.

Tue Aug 25 20:04:09 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-hpux11.h: Added ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS.  Thanks to John
          Mulhern for verifying this.

        * etc: Began to add the ACE tutorials.  Thanks to James CE Johnson
          <jcej@lads.com> for contributing this stuff.

        * tests/Reactor*.cpp: Fixed all the Reactor tests so that they'd
          abide by the appropriate design rules.  Thanks to Hans Rohnert
          <rohnert@scr.siemens.com> for reporting this.

Tue Aug 25 19:31:37 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.i (~ACE_Lite_MMAP_Memory_Pool,~ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool):
          swapped to avoid use of ~ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool before its linline
          definition.

Tue Aug 25 18:48:50 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (parse_args): Changed the default for
          ACE_Service_Config::no_static_svcs_ to be 1.  This means that by
          default static services (ACE_Naming_Context and
          ACE_Service_Manager) will *not* be loaded into the Service
          Repository.  The -n option remains the same for backward
          compatibility, i.e., it sets ACE_Service_Config::no_static_svcs_
          to 1.  -y is a new option that sets
          ACE_Service_Config::no_static_svcs_ to 0.

          The motivation for this change was to minimize the ACE
          footprint, i.e., only load them if the program requires it.

Tue Aug 25 18:28:11 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (strdup): Changed ::strlen to ACE_OS::strlen so we can
          get the actual length for UNICODE strings.  Thanks to Dana
          Hackman <upboms@network-one.com> for reporting this.

          Also, the size of the allocated memory should be
          (strlen(s)+1)*sizeof(wchar_t), not strlen(s)*sizeof(wchar_t)+1.

Tue Aug 25 14:33:46 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp:
          The lock type for the ACE_XtReactor was wrong.

Tue Aug 25 13:36:10 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp (do_sysconf): Fixed the VxWorks
        warnings.

Tue Aug 25 13:04:00 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Memory_Pool: Added virtual destructors.

Tue Aug 25 10:38:52 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Added orbsvcs/test/Property/run_test.pl.
          The Simple test was moved to Simple/time.

Tue Aug 25 10:45:50 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Fixed the SunCC errors about
                missing function prototypes. Also put the various
                <sysconf> routines under "#if defined <SYMBOL>"
                statements.

Tue Aug 25 07:42:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp: changed ACE_Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr<char *>
          template instantiation to ACE_Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr<char>.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex3.cpp (consumer): changed
          ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr <char> to ACE_Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr <char>.

        * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp,
          examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex{2,3}.cpp:
          removed explicit ACE_Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr <char> instantiation
          because it's now in libACE.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: added BUILD
          definition when building static libs only.  This was necessary
          to allow the TAO/orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/{EventSup,DOVEMIB}
          makes to work properly on both Solaris and VxWorks.
          It also means that BUILD is no longer necessary in most Makefiles.

        * tests/Message_Queue_Notification_Test.cpp (main): removed
          trailing ".cpp" from log file name.

        * ace/config-sunx86-sunc++-4.x.h: removed because it wasn't being
          maintained, because config-sunos5.{5,6}.h are supported on Solaris86.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: fixed determination
          of whether the g++ version supports exception handling.  Assume
          that it doesn't on VxWorks.  Thanks to Margherita Vittone Wiersma
          <vittone@fndaub.fnal.gov> for reporting this.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_vxworks5.x_g++.GNU: use := instead
          of += to set PATH, because += seems to insert a space.

Tue Aug 25 05:23:11 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.dsp: Fixed something....

        * tests/tests.dsw: Fixed a typo.

        * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp:
        * ace/Makefile: Added Select_Reactor_T and Select_Reactor_Base.
          Rebuilt file dependencies.

        * ace/Select_Reactor[_Base,_T].{h,i,cpp}: Templatized
          ACE_Select_Reactor and gangs.  The original Select_Reactor files
          are splited into three sets of files.  Select_Reactor_Base
          defines common components used by Select_Reactor and defines
          Select_Reactor_Base class.  Select_Reactor_T defines the
          template classes.  Select_Reactor instantiates necessary
          template classes.  Next step is to add template specialization
          for ACE_Guard< ACE_Select_Reactor_Token_T <ACE_Noop_Token> >.

        * ace/Synch.{h,i}: Added a new class ACE_Noop_Token which is a
          subclass of ACE_Null_Mutex.  It supports a null renew method.
          This class should be called ACE_Null_Token but the name is
          already used.

Tue Aug 25 01:38:40 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Threads/task_three.cpp (main): Fixed this example so
          that it works portably with signals.  Thanks to Susan Liebeskind
          <susan.liebeskind@gtri.gatech.edu> for reporting this.

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Removed the forward decls
          so that don't conflict with the use of "static" later on.
          Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.

Mon Aug 24 22:23:33 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex{2,3}.cpp: removed unnecessary
          includes of fstream.h.

Mon Aug 24 18:11:39 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Memory_Pool.cpp (ACE_Local_Memory_Pool::release): This
          memory pool uses "new" to create memory chunks for the Malloc
          class.  However, since it did not keep track of this memory,
          these chunks were leaked.

          The solution was to keep tarck of the chunks allocated and
          delete them in release().

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (~ACE_Object_Manager): Moved TSS cleanup
          *before* Service_Config::close().  We need this to happen since
          DLL related TSS objects need to get cleaned up *before* the DLL
          is unlinked.  The only downside to this order of things is that
          Log_Msg will also get cleaned up by TSS cleanup, and we need to
          make sure that we do not access Log_Msg after TSS cleanup.

          For this to work, we need to make sure of two things: user code
          is not called and ACE does not use Log_Msg after this after TSS
          resources have been cleaned up. The only major code that is
          called is Service_Config::close().  Since
          Service_Config::fini_svcs() has already been called,
          Service_Config::close() only unlinks the DLLs and does not call
          into user code.

        * ace/Service_Repository.cpp (close): Don't access Log_Msg since
          it has already been deleted by the time this code runs.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (close): Don't access Log_Msg since it
          has already been deleted by the time this code runs.

Mon Aug 24 18:13:58 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Fixed a few problems due
          to the fact that we weren't carefully guarding against platforms
          that don't support AIO macros.  Thanks to Dana Hackman
          <upboms@network-one.com> for reporting this.

Mon Aug 24 15:18:46 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/run_tests.sh: run Message_Queue_Notifications_Test
          instead of Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp.

Mon Aug 24 13:05:03 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-{chorus,WinCE,vxworks5.x}.h: Added
          ACE_HAS_STRDUP_EMULATION.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr for this
          suggestion.

        * ace/OS.i (strdup): Removed complicated #ifdef and replaced it
          with ACE_HAS_STRDUP_EMULATION.

Mon Aug 24 10:41:07 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Provided null defitions for all the <wstat> wait
                status macros for ACE_WIN32 platform.

Mon Aug 24 00:11:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/pingpong.cpp (run_svc): Fixed a subtle
          potential "order of destruction" bug with this test.  Thanks to
          Hans Rohnert for reporting this.

Sun Aug 23 21:09:55 1998  Arturo Montes  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>

        * ace/OS.i (thr_testcancel): with ACE_HAS_PTHREAD_DRAFT6,
          use ::pthread_testintr () instead of pthread_testcancel ().
          Thats what FSU pthreads uses.  Hopefully, MVS does also.

Sun Aug 23 16:28:10 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp (spawn): Removed the ACE_DEBUG messages on exec
          failure, etc.  If apps want to know what has failed, they need
          to check the return from spawn() or wait().  ACE shouldn't be
          generating debugging information gratuitiously...

Sun Aug 23 15:42:48 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp: Put the warning on failure on exec
        ("ACE_Process::spawn (); exec failed: exiting!!!!\n") under
        condition (ACE_Service_Config::debug_).

Sun Aug 23 11:12:46 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Makefile:
        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp:
          Fixed typos.

Sat Aug 22 21:52:23 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex[23].cpp: Changed the
          Auto_Basic_Ptr to the Auto_Basic_Array_Ptr to avoid compilation
          problems.  Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.

Sat Aug 22 20:13:37 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added instructions for adding Alpha
          configurations to MSVC 5 project files.

Sat Aug 22 13:24:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp: Surrounded the
          ACE_Barrier with conditional compilations for ACE_HAS_THREADS.
          Thanks to Ganesh Pai <gpai@voicetek.com> for reporting this.

        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp: Cleaned up the
          formatting a bit.

        * tests: Renamed MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.{cpp,bpr,dsp} to
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.{cpp,bpr,dsp} to be more
          consistent with spelling.

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the ACE_timer_t down a bit in the file so that
          ACE_UINT is defined.  Thanks to Naga for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a "no-op" typedef for ACE_Rusage for platforms
          that don't support it.  Thanks to David Levine for reporting
          this.

Sat Aug 22 07:59:28 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp (main): removed unused local
          variables thr_handle_acceptor and thr_handle_connector.

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp (connector): removed leading newline
          in printout at end of thread execution.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added egcs section.  Thanks to
          Ganesh Pai <gpai@voicetek.com> for a portion of it.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex1.cpp (peer1); removed spurious
          "new" in ACE_NEW_RETURN involcation.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex{2,3}.cpp: untabified.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/Makefile: updated dependencies
          so that the module will build, now that auto_builtin_ptr.h
          has been removed.

Sat Aug 22 00:27:06 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Read_Buffer.i (alloc): Added new method to get to
          Read_Buffer's allocator.  This is necessary because we need to
          free up the memory that it allocates for us.

        * ace/Service_Object.cpp (fini): New method calls fini() on
          <type_> and sets the <fini_already_called_> flag.  This flag is
          tested in the destructor so that the <type_> is not fini'ed
          twice.

        * ace/Service_Repository.cpp (fini): New method to finalize (call
          fini() and possibly delete) all the services.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (fini_svcs): New method calls
          ACE_Service_Repository::instance ()->fini ().

        * ace/Object_Manager.cpp (~ACE_Object_Manager): Added a call
          to close and possibly delete all service instances in the
          Service Repository by calling ACE_Service_Config::fini_svcs.
          This call is made *before* the library singletons (such as
          the Reactor, Proactor, Thread_Manager, and Allocator) are
          destroyed since the service instances maybe accessing these
          singletons in the fini() and destructor methods.  Note that
          user singletons are destroyed before the services are
          fini'ed or closed.

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (fini_svcs): Disable log messages when
          appropriate.

Fri Aug 21 22:26:54 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.i (ACE_OS::gettimeofday): On Win32, instead of _ftime,
          use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime.  _ftime has a bug crossing from
          daylight time to standard time in the US.

Fri Aug 21 22:13:51 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (thr_cancel, thr_setcancelstate, thr_setcanceltype,
          thr_testcancel): added #else
          case, with ACE_NOTSUP (-1), to the various threads
          types.  It catches
          ACE_HAS_PTHREADS && ACE_LACKS_PTHREAD_CANCEL.  Thanks
          to Naga for reporting this.

        * ace/OS.i (thr_setcanceltype): don't support if
          ACE_LACKS_PTHREAD_CANCEL.  Thanks to Naga for reporting this.

        * ace/config-chorus.h: added ACE_LACKS_PTHREAD_CANCEL.
          Thanks to Naga, again.

Fri Aug 21 20:23:44 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex[123].cpp: Updated these programs
          to use the ACE_Auto_Basic_Ptr instead of the bizarre
          auto_builtin_ptr.h file, which has been removed...  Also
          replaced the global thr_mgr with the ACE_Thread_Manager
          Singleton and moved the <fstream.h> include file until AFTER the
          ACE includes to avoid problems with HP/UX 11's C++ compiler.
          Thanks to John Mulhern for motivating these fixes.

        * ace/config-hpux-10.x.h: Added a check so that if threading is
          disabled, then timespec_t does not get defined.  This seems to
          work around a bug with HP/UX 10.x.  Thanks to Ganesh M. Pai
          <gpai@voicetek.com> for reporting this.

Fri Aug 21 19:54:26 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU:
          The ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS macro definition goes into CPPFLAGS now,
          so make depend can use it too.

Fri Aug 21 18:47:40 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp (wait): Need to check if status is non-null
          before accessing the exit status on NT.   Thanks to Carlos for
          pointing this out.

Fri Aug 21 16:40:39 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
          Some platforms (notable IRIX 6.x) do not update the timer in
          pthread_cond_timedwait(), this made the Semaphore test fail for
          those platforms.
          I modified the ACE_OS::sema_wait() function to obtain the
          desired behavior.

Fri Aug 21 15:50:05 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/ACE-porting.html: Updated some discussion on selecting
          versions of STL that work with ACE and TAO.  Thanks to Bob
          Laferriere <robert.laferriere@gemed.med.ge.com> for reporting
          this.

Fri Aug 21 14:49:31 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_gcc.GNU: Changed the default
          from build without threads to build with threads.  Thanks to Ganesh
          Pai <gpai@voicetek.com> for this change.

Fri Aug 21 09:25:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Moved several #ifdefs from Profile_Timer.h into OS.h
          to clean up the code.

        * ace/Profile_Timer.h: Cleaned up the class definition to make the
          OSE tool happy.  Thanks to Doug Anderson <doug@clark.net> for
          reporting this.

        * etc: Moved the ACE-subsets.html file into $ACE_ROOT/etc.

        * ace/Synch_Options.h: Fixed a typo that was giving the OSE tool
          fits!  Thanks to Doug Anderson <doug@clark.net> for reporting
          this.

Fri Aug 21 03:41:01 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/OS/Process/process.cpp:
        * examples/OS/Process/imore.cpp: Minor bug fixes.  Print out of
          child processes' exit status.

Thu Aug 20 23:33:15 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp (wait): Allow passing back the exit status of
          the child process on NT.

Thu Aug 20 19:52:21 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i:
          ACE_INLINE int
          ACE_OS::thr_getspecific (ACE_thread_key_t key, void **data)
          ...
          #else /* this is Draft 7 or STD */
          *data = pthread_getspecific (key);

          changed the ::pthread_getspecific to pthread_getspecific as it
          is a macro in Chorus. Thanks to David Levine for finding this.

Thu Aug 20 17:05:28 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/Timer_Service.cpp: Added some
          ACE_SVC_FACTORY_* macros for Timer_Service_1 so that it'll
          compile and link properly.  Thanks to David Levine for reporting
          this.

Thu Aug 20 14:39:53 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.{h,cpp} (ACE_Process::wait): Added a parameter of int* to
          get back the exit status of a child process.

Thu Aug 20 14:33:59 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/ACE-porting.html: Generalized the discussion to cover
          porting TAO, as well as to explain what C++ features must/can be
          supported to port ACE/TAO to a new platform.

Thu Aug 20 05:12:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.31 released.

Thu Aug 20 03:10:48 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp (main): Reverted back to use
          ACE_Thread.  Although it's considered the "Right Thing" to spawn
          threads using ACE_Thread_Manager, I'll keep this file to use
          ACE_Thread to serve as an example that you can also use
          ACE_Thread to do any tricks you like, and, a sanity check.

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke): Don't create the
          ACE_Thread_Exit object if we are not spawning the thread using
          ACE_Thread_Manager.  Otherwise, when a non-thread manager
          spawned thread exits, the TSS clean up routing gets into an
          infinite loop calling ~ACE_Thread_Exit recursively and
          eventually the stack gets overflowed and the thread then
          "appears" to exit normally.  But in fact, TSS cleanup does not
          complete at all.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.i:
        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (at_exit,thr_self): Moved all at_exit
          methods into the .i file.  All at_exit methods and thr_self
          don't really need to hold Thread_Manager's lock.

          Notice that after the newly spawned thread enters the
          ACE_Thread_Adapter::invoke routine, we can safely manipulate its
          Thread_Deacriptor because it has been registered properly.  This
          change should further reduce the times a thread gets started.

Wed Aug 19 20:34:25 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/README:
        * ace/OS.h: Added a new macro directive
          "ACE_DOESNT_INSTANTIATE_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER".  By defining
          this macro, it implicitly forces ACE to use non-static object
          manager and _NOT_ instantiating ACE_Object_Manager for you and
          assumes you will take the responsibility of instantiating
          ACE_Object_Manager at the proper place in your programs.  This
          is usually used when using ACE with MFC/Windows programs.
          Because the main function is defined by MFC/Windows libraries,
          ACE has no way to instantiate object manager in these programs.
          For programs using MFC, a good place to instantiate Object
          Manger will be to define ACE_Object_Manager a member of
          CApplication derived classes so it gets instantiated/destructed
          properly.

        * ace/config-win32.h: Revised the comment about
          ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER

Wed Aug 19 17:15:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp: Moved the registration of the SIGHUP
          signal from the constructor to the open() method since otherwise
          it'll never get called in the typical usecase...  Thanks to
          Susan Liebeskind <susan.liebeskind@gtri.gatech.edu> for
          reporting this.

Wed Aug 19 14:11:22 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.30 released.

Wed Aug 19 13:38:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_TSS_Cleanup::detach): only declare local
          temp_key ifdef ACE_WIN32, because it's only used there.

Wed Aug 19 10:13:36 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (ACE_Thread_Cleanup::remove): Don't bother to check
          the <in_use_> status when the object manager is shutting down.
          Otherwise, we are creating another fresh ACE_TSS object all over
          again.
          (ACE_Thread_Cleanup::detach): When cleaning up a thread key, we
          must first remove it from the internal table before actually
          freeing the key to avoid race condition (the OS may reassigned
          the key to other the_keycreate requests.)

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp (close): Removed the ACE_Thread::key_free
          statement.  This should be handled by TSS cleanup mechanism.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (at_exit): Moved the return statement
          after #endif macros to avoid the no return compiler warning.

        * tests/UPIPE_SAP_Test.cpp (main): Changed to use
          ACE_Thread_Manager to spawn and wait for threads so the TSS
          object gets cleanup correctly.  Using plain vanilla
          ACE_Thread::spawn and/or ACE_OS::thr_create no longer works.

Wed Aug 19 10:06:25 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/ACE-guidelines.html: @added guidelines to check for
          success of an attempted open of an existing file, and to not
          release copyrighted, etc., material with ACE/TAO.

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (find_another_host): check to see
          if the other host is up, by attempting a blocking connection with
          it.  Only return another host if the connection succeeds.
          Also, cache the other host so that multiple calls will not
          have to repeat the connection attempt.

Wed Aug 19 08:25:20 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/Timer_Service.cpp: Changed
          Timer_Service_2 to Timer_Service_1 since it was a typo.  Thanks
          to Irfan for reporting this.

Tue Aug 18 22:10:43 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-fsu-pthread.h,config-hpux-10.x.h,config-mit-pthread.h,
          config-mvs.h,config-osf1-{3.2,4.0}.h,config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h,
          config-sunos5.{5,6}.h,config-tandem.h:
          removed ACE_HAS_ONEARG_SIGWAIT.  It's no longer used.

Tue Aug 18 16:50:28 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread.i (sigsetmask): Renamed parameter name since it
          conflicts with STL class name.  Thanks to Kent Watsen
          <kent@watsen.net> for pointing this out.

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor.cpp (handle_write_stream):
          Fixed incorrect unary minus operator application.

Tue Aug 18 16:43:00 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.29 released.

Tue Aug 18 14:15:23 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_aix4.2.GNU: Don't link programs
          against libACE.a - just against libACEshr.a (the shared lib).

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU:
        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_gcc.GNU: Switch support for threads
          on and off using "make threads=0" or "make threads=1".  The default
          for aCC is to use threads, and for gcc is to not.  I deduced the
          defaults from the old lib settings.  Sorry if the gcc one is wrong.

        * ace/config-hpux-10.x.h:  Added ACE_HAS_SIGISMEMBER_BUG, plus...
        * ace/config-hpux11.h:  Set threads things based on the setting
          of ACE_HAS_THREADS, which gets set in platform_macros.GNU (see above)
          to build with threads support.

Tue Aug 18 10:57:32 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/rules.nested.GNU:
          Removed extra enter/leave messages at each directory, GNUmake
          does it for you.

Tue Aug 18 08:15:30 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp (do_sysconf): on VxWorks, don't
          call ACE_OS::sysconf () because it's not supported.

        * bin/make_release: added -P to cvs checkout command, to ignore
          empty diretories.

Mon Aug 17 22:56:17 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/version_tests/version_tests.dsw:
        * tests/version_tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.dsp: Added a new
          project (as shown) into the workspace.

Mon Aug 17 17:17:52 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Makefile: Removed IO_Cntl_Msg from files to build.  It's empty.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Added '302' to warnings
          to suppress; changed LIBS from '=' to '+=' to work better with TAO
          builds.   Thanks to John Mulhern for these fixes.

Mon Aug 17 17:04:31 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Env_Value_Test.cpp (main): Changed to use ASYS_TCHAR* for
          arguments in main.

Mon Aug 17 15:51:30 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (thr_sigsetmask): with ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT4 or
          ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT6, added :: in front of sigprocmask ()
          call.  Without it, g++ on LynxOS was warning about use of
          sigprocmask () before definition.

Mon Aug 17 14:59:13 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc: Added a new file, ACE-porting.html, which explains how to
          port ACE to new OS platforms.  Thanks to Gabriel Lima
          <gali@enea.se> for submitting this.

        * ace/FILE_Connector.h: Changed ACE_FILE_Connector so that it no
          longer inherits from ACE_FILE.  This relationship is unnecessary
          and was not used.  Thanks to Byron Harris for reporting this.

Mon Aug 17 12:14:13 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        Large number of small changes (all listed below) to begin aligning
        the large number of Pthreads-related definitions around the 4 supported
        drafts: 4, 6, 7, as well as the standard (also known as draft 10).
        The notation for "DCE threads" is gone.  DCE threads are primarily
        draft 4, plus platform-specific modifications.  Now all code must
        declare the pthreads draft, and handle any platform/implementation
        oddities as such.
        As time goes on, I will remove more of the ACE_HAS_... and ACE_LACKS...
        things that are actually changes with the pthreads drafts.
        I tested these on Solaris 2.5.1 (CC), HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00, AIX 4.2.1,
        and sanity-tested on NT/MSVC (though no changes affected the WTHREADS
        parts).

        * ace/README: Clarified use of Pthreads macros.

        * ace/config-hpux-10.x.h:
        * ace/config-lynxos.h:
        * ace/config-osf1-3.2.h:
        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h:
          Changed from DCE threads to ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT4.

        * ace/config-fsu-pthread.h:
        * ace/config-m88k.h:
        * ace/config-mvs.h:  Added ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT6.

        * ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h:
        * ace/config-aix-4.2.x.h: Added ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT7.

        * ace/config-chorus.h:
        * ace/config-dgux-4.x-ghs.h:
        * ace/config-hpux11.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-g++.h:
        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h:
        * ace/config-linux-lxpthreads.h:
        * ace/config-linux-pthread.h:
        * ace/config-mit-pthread.h:
        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h:
        * ace/config-sco-5.0.0-mit-pthread.h:
        * ace/config-sunos-5.5.h: (also remove ACE_HAS_STHREADS if
          _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS is defined by user).
        * ace/config-sunos5.6.h:

          Changed to / added ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_STD.

        * ace/config-hpux-10.x-g++.h: Changed over to use the base file
          config-hpux-10.x.h.

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
        * ace/OS.cpp:
          Unified the compile ifdefs for pthreads around ACE_HAS_PTHREADS,
          ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_DRAFT{4, 6, 7} and ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_STD.
          Removed all use of ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS; put in platform-specific
          settings where needed.

        * ace/Sched_Params.cpp:
        * ace/Synch.cpp: Removed the use of ACE_HAS_DCETHREADS.

Mon Aug 17 12:10:54 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_{dll,lib}.dsp: Removed Message_Queue_T.cpp from and included
          Message_Queue.cpp into source files that get build.  Hmm, I
          thought I made this change long ago.

        * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp:  Changed the DLL output directories for some
          configurations.

Mon Aug 17 11:25:18 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.h:
          In some platforms we need to include "ace/Thread_Manager.h"
          because its definition is used in the inline methods of some
          templates, and a few platform actually check the syntax of
          template code, even if the template is not used.

Mon Aug 17 10:06:01 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler_T.cpp: replaced
          #include <string.h> with #include "ace/OS.h", so that
          _REENTRANT gets defined with g++.

        * apps/Gateway/Peer/Peer.{h,cpp} (Peer_Connector::open): added
          (unused) arguments to this function.  They are only provided to
          avoid a compiler warning about hiding the virtual function
          ACE_Connector<Peer_Handler, ACE_SOCK_CONNECTOR>::open (ACE_Reactor *,
          int).

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp (run_performance_test):
          added delete of time_offsets array.  The test Purifies
          cleanly now.

Mon Aug 17 00:05:02 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_removals.cpp (main): Fixed
          signed/unsigned mismatch.

        * examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_talker.cpp (handle_read_stream):
          Fixed incorrect unary minus operator application.

Sun Aug 16 20:57:12 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (dlerror): Fixed a typo.  Thanks to Ossama Othman
          <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu> for reporting this.

Fri Aug 14 18:58:29 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp   :       Changed <sysconf>'s to
        ACE_OS::sysconf's.

Fri Aug 14 11:41:23 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.i (ACE_OS::dlclose): On HP-UX 10.x and 32-bit 11.00, do
          not actually call shl_unload if the library's ref count is more than
          1.  If shl_unload is called, it unloads the library, regardless of
          the reference count.  This has the affect of never unloading a
          library that's been loaded more than once, until the OS unloads it
          at process run-down.  Better than invalidating references to it,
          though.  The wonder of wrappers at work for you...

Fri Aug 14 10:01:05 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h (ACE_UINT64_DBLCAST_ADAPTER): with
          ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T, only use low 32 bits.  We could devise
          a conversion from ACE_U_LongLong to double that uses all
          64 bits; but, it's probably easier for users to upgrade
          their hardware and/or compilers to ones that support 64
          bit ints :-)

Thu Aug 13 19:29:33 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.i: Changed the is_empty_i() method to check
          if this->tail_ == 0 rather than this->cur_bytes_ <= 0 &&
          this->cur_count_ <= 0.  Thanks to Dirk Broer
          <Dirk.Broer@gsfc.nasa.gov> for suggesting this.

Thu Aug 13 17:45:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: added ACE_UINT64_DBLCAST_ADAPTER macro
          to patch unimplemented UINT64 to double casts

Thu Aug 13 13:34:52 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * os-patches/linux-patches.html: the af_inet.c patch is only
          needed through Linux kernel version 2.0.34.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp: disabled ACE_Hash_Addr template
          specialization on non-egcs g++.

        * tests/Process_Strategy_Test.{h,cpp} (~Process_Strategy):
          added an explicit destructor.  g++ 2.7.2.3 got very
          confused ("Internal compiler error") without it, apparently
          when generating it implicitly.

        * tests/ MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.cpp (producer): removed
          unused local "result".

Wed Aug 12 22:45:50 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.cpp: Added an explicit
          template instantiation.

Wed Aug 12 21:32:05 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.i:
        * ace/Message_Block.cpp:
          Enabled the base() method, it replaces the internal buffer and
          resets the Message_Block. There were other ways to do this (like
          calling data_block->base()), but some users find it convenient.
          I also modified the Data_Block::base() method to release any
          memory held by the class before the method is called. Thanks to
          Peter.Gorgia@libnet.com for pointing this out.

Wed Aug 12 17:43:33 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.cpp: The watermark test which
          uses cv's signaling to notify other threads is also merged into
          this file.

        * tests/MsgQueue_Water_Mark_Test.{dsp,cpp}: Removed.

Wed Aug 12 17:12:57 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

          Added updated versions of project files (with correct include
          directories).  Also changed the <main>'s to take in argc and
          argv.  Thanks to Jeff Hellzen <JHellzen@hwdcsaws.cahwnet.gov>
          for submitting these changes.

Wed Aug 12 16:16:38 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.cpp: Since this test doesn't
          use threads at all, I removed the #if ACE_HAS_THREADS macro.

Wed Aug 12 14:57:51 1998  Jonathan Biggar  <jon@floorboard.com>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: wrapped thread-related defines with
          "#ifdef _REENTRANT".

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU,wrapper_macros.GNU,
          ACE-INSTALL.html: added support for "threads" make option.

Wed Aug 12 02:06:02 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/test_config.h (ACE_Test_Output): It seemed like redirecting
          the Log_Msg output back to stderr in close was a bit too early
          and some messages popped out after some tests ran successfully.
          Moved the redirecting code into the destructor.

Tue Aug 11 22:47:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TP_Reactor.cpp (dispatch_io_set): added
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG (ready_mask).

        * tests/test_config.h: added
          ACE_Singleton<ACE_Test_Output, ACE_Null_Mutex> template
          instantiation.  This shouldn't be done in a header, and
          I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks somewhere.  But, we
          don't have any other need for a .cpp file to link into all tests.

Tue Aug 11 17:30:32 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/test_config.h: Fixed ACE_Test_Output to get torn down clean
          in all cases by changing it from a static to an ACE_Singleton.
          Re-enabled it for Win32, non-WinCE.

Tue Aug 11 15:51:47 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.h (ACE_XtReactor): Changed the constructor so that
          the XtAppContext can be passed later.  This scheme allows for a
          default constructor.  Thanks to J-M Strauss
          <strauss@limeil.cea.fr> for suggesting this.

Tue Aug 11 12:35:10 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (fopen): On WinCE, reset the handle to 0 if CreateFile
          fails so we can detect errors when using the emulated FILE
          pointer on CE.

        * tests/test_config.h (~ACE_Test_Output): Changed !defined
          (ACE_HAS_WINCE) to !defined (ACE_WIN32).  When using non-static
          object manager, the singleton ACE_Log_Msg may no longer exist
          here and the reseting here just causes access violations.  Other
          platforms which use non-static might suffer the same sympton.

Tue Aug 11 12:29:03 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * os-patches/linux-patches.html: the gas patch on alphas
          isn't necessary with binutils-2.9.1.

Tue Aug 11 12:23:09 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ARGV.{h,cpp}: Made a series of changes to make the file CE
          friendly.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp: Adjusted the indentation.

Tue Aug 11 02:06:55 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (dispatch_handles): Because dispatch_index
          is absolute, nCount should be set to
          (max_handlep1 - dispatch_index) instead of (nCount -
          dispatch_index). Thanks to Alberto Villarica
          <Alberto.Villarica.rav@nt.com> for pointing this out.

Mon Aug 10 20:12:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: On HP-UX 10.x, display thread's readable number
          rather than an int represenation of a pointer.

        * tests/test_config.h (ACE_Test_Output): When destroying
          ACE_Test_Output, make sure to remove all traces of it from
          ACE_Log_Msg instance.

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: Don't try to set process-wide
          scheduling if it's not supported on the platform.

        * tests/Thread_Manager_Test.cpp: Don't do a kill on pthreads draft
          4 platforms.  This is a NOP for now - it will make a difference when
          I check in more threads-related changes later.

Mon Aug 10 10:35:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added the ACE-subsets.html file to the ACE directory so that
          we can all modify it.

Mon Aug 10 10:29:29 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (shm_open): There's no need to mess with the security
          attribute here.

Mon Aug 10 01:09:05 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i}: Added a new function
          "default_win32_security_attributes" to return the defualt
          security setting of kernel objects.  By default, this function
          is a no-op.  You must define
          ACE_DEFINES_DEFAULT_WIN32_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES for this function
          to return a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES object that has no access
          restriction.

          Modified all functions that use Win32 kernel objects to invoke
          this new function to get the appropriate security attributes.
          Thanks to Ivan Murphy <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de> for
          suggesting this.


Sun Aug 09 23:26:39 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.28 released.

Sun Aug  9 23:08:51 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Checked in a bunch of files/directories that I'd neglected
          to check in before.

Sun Aug 09 23:02:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.27 released.

Sun Aug  9 15:04:41 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/manual.cpp: Changed all instances
          of "#if (ACE_WIN32)" to "#if defined (ACE_WIN32)"

        * netsvcs/netsvcs.dsw: Added this workspace which contains all the
          netsvcs projects.

        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/collection/collection.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/collection/collection.dsw:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/deadlock/deadlock.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/deadlock/deadlock.dsw:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/invariant/invariant.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/invariant/invariant.dsw:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/manual.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/manual/manual.dsw:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/mutex/mutex.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/mutex/mutex.dsw:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/rw_lock/rw_lock.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Tokens/rw_lock/rw_lock.dsw:
          Added these MSVC projects and workspaces.  Thanks to Jeff
          Hellzen <JHellzen@hwdcsaws.cahwnet.gov> for submitting these.

        * netsvcs/clients/Logger/direct_logging.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Logger/indirect_logging.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/Client_Test.dsp:
        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Client/main.dsp:
        * netsvcs/lib/netsvcs.dsp:
        * netsvcs/servers/servers.dsp:
          Mainly just updated all of these and made sure that they worked.

Sun Aug  9 09:17:16 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (connect_svc_handler): Changed the call to
          this->CONNECT_STRATEGIES::connect_svc_handler() to avoid compile
          problems with GCC on LynxOS.  Thanks to Sergio for reporting
          this.

Sat Aug  8 09:37:27 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/INET_Addr.cpp:
          Reverted the operator== optimization, it turns out that the
          definition of struct in_addr is not portable after all. Maybe
          there is a set of macros to make it portable?

        * ace/ACE.h:
        * ace/ACE.cpp:
          Returning <const char* const> is unnecesary; and gives no more
          guarantees that <const char*>, plus it gives warnings in
          IRIX/MIPSPro compilers.

        * ace/Synch.cpp:
          Removed explicit instantiations of ACE_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>,
          the class is specialized so no instantiation is necessary. Same
          thing for ACE_Write_Guard and ACE_Read_Guard.

Fri Aug  7 23:18:53 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h:
          Updated the new ACE_CC_NAME macros (and friends) so they work
          with egcs (and hopefully g++).

        * tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp:
          Removed double comma in function call.

Fri Aug  7 21:39:26 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/INET_Addr.cpp:
          Compare the fields of in_addr instead of calling memcmp.

        * ace/Message_Block.cpp:
        * ace/Message_Block.h:
        * ace/Message_Block.i:
          The Message_Block can receive an allocator for the data block,
          so instead of creating them on the heap they can be allocated
          from a TSS allocator or other memory pool. By default we use
          ACE_New_Allocator.

        * apps/gperf/Makefile:
          The Id was wrong.

        * bin/auto_compile:
          Added gperf to the default list of directories.

Fri Aug  7 13:58:58 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/envinfo.cpp:
        Added this program, which will print the version information for
        ACE, the OS and C++ compiler. The idea is to use this when posting
        to the ACE mailing list.

        * ace/ACE.h:
        * ace/ACE.cpp:
        Added static methods to retrieve compiler information (name, major
        version, minro version, beta version).

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h:
        Defined the compiler information macros for this platform.

        * bin/Makefile:
        Modified the Makefile to support multiple binaries in the
        directory (according to tests/Makefile).

        * bin/clone.cpp:
        Added RCS Id.

Fri Aug  7 12:46:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Activation_Queue.h: Updated the documentation to indicate
          the need for absolute rather than relative time values.  Thanks
          to Johannes Gutleber <Johannes.Gutleber@cern.ch> for reporting
          this.

Fri Aug 07 02:06:54 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/MsgQueue_Water_Mark_Test.{dsp,cpp}: Added a new test to
          make sure the water mark stuff works.  It still needs to be
          clean up to compile with g++.

Fri Aug 07 01:00:55 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.i (operator==): Added a method to compare a
          ACE_Hash_Recyclable and a ACE_Recyclable. Also inlined a shit
          load of small methods.

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (connect_svc_handler): If <sh> is not
          connected to the correct address or is busy, we will not use it.
          Therefore we need to set it to zero.

        * ace/Synch: Added template specializations for
          ACE_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>, ACE_Write_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>, and
          ACE_Read_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>.

Thu Aug 06 14:59:22 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Updated all uses of cancel_thr for the
          various apply*() methods so that they pass along the
          async_cancel flag.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp: Added a new ARG to the ACE_EXECUTE_OP
          macro.  Believe it or not, this change actually reduced the
          amount of special-case code because we can now treat kill_thr()
          just like the other *_thr() methods.  Irfan was amazed ;-).

        * ace/Thread_Manager: Added a new flag called "async_cancel" to
          all the Thread Manager cancel*() methods.  This flag is disabled
          by default (hence, there are no changes to the ACE Thread
          Manager semantics).  If it is enabled, however, it will attempt
          to perform an asychronous thread cancellation on the
          corresponding thread id(s).

Thu Aug  6 17:44:50 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Priority_Task_Test.cpp: Enhanced this test so that it runs
          correctly on platforms where you must be root to muck around
          with thread priorities.  Thanks to John Mulhern
          <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for reporting this.

        * tests/MT_SOCK_Test.cpp: Reformatted the code to make it more
          readable and also to remove a C-style cast.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.h: Improved the documentation of the low
          water mark and high water marks.  Thanks to Umar for encouraging
          this.

Thu Aug  6 20:41:44 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Filecache.cpp: Avoided a deadlock detected by Tom Dobridge
          <dobridge@persimmon.com> (thanks!).

Thu Aug 06 14:59:22 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (connect_svc_handler): If <sh> is not
          connected to the correct address or is busy, we will not use it.
          Therefore we need to set it to zero.

        * ace/Synch: Added template specializations for
          ACE_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>, ACE_Write_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>, and
          ACE_Read_Guard<ACE_Null_Mutex>.

Thu Aug  6 14:30:11 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h:
          Use template specializations instead of pragmas if the compiler
          is 7.2 or better.

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++.h:
          The <sched.h> is not necessary in IRIX 6.4

Thu Aug 06 14:11:15 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp: Make sure to check if the cur_bytes_ is
          <= to the low_water_mark before signaling threads trying to
          enqueue a Message_Block.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp: Fixed a bunch of code to use the
          ACE_NEW_RETURN macro to ensure that errno is set correctly.

        * ace/Message_Queue.h: Changed the DEFAULT_LWM to be the same as
          the DEFAULT_HWM since that's the "Right Way"[TM] to handle
          this...  Thanks to Umar Syyid <usyyid@hns.com> for helping to
          track this down.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.i (is_empty_i): Removed the low water mark
          logic entirely because this isn't the right place to put it.
          Also reverted back to using && rather than || since we need
          to handle "0-sized" messages.

Thu Aug  6 09:41:22 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ARGV.{h,cpp} : Added a new
        ACE_ARGV(ASYS_TCHAR *first_argv,ASYS_TCHAR *second_argv,int)
        which creates a new ARGV which is the concatenation of the 2 argvs.

        Also added a new private method argv_to_string
        which converts an argv to a string.

Thu Aug  6 08:56:02 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Module.h: Pointed out that ACE_Module should't be subclassed
          -- ACE_Task should be subclasses.  Thanks to Barney Dalton
          <barneyd@cyllene.uwa.edu.au> for pointing this out.

Wed Aug 05 23:57:16 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Reactor.cpp (end_event_loop): Changed the code so that *all*
          threads are woken up.  Thanks to Olivier Lau
          <olivier_lau@srtelecom.com> for pointing this bug out.

        * examples/Reactor/ReactorEx/test_multithreading.cpp (main):
          Changed Reactor->close() to Reactor::end_event_loop().

Wed Aug  5 23:12:54 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: Changed
          PURE_CACHE_DIR = $(PURE_CACHE_BASE_DIR)-$(LOGNAME)-$(CXX)

          to

          PURE_CACHE_DIR = $(PURE_CACHE_BASE_DIR)-$(LOGNAME)-$(notdir $(CXX) )

          Thanks to John Mulhern <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for this.

Wed Aug 05 14:53:18 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (connect_svc_handler): When using this
          method, the user was required to pass us a zero for the
          svc_handler. We would either find them a non-busy one, or will
          create a new one.

          Unfortunately, the svc_handler lookup was taking too long.
          Therefore, the following change was made to the
          connect_svc_handler algorithm: the user is now allowed to pass
          in the svc_handler that they used last as a "hint".  The
          algorithm first checks to see if the "hint" svc_handler is
          connected to the correct address and is recyclable.  If it is,
          then it recycles the "hint" svc_handler and gives it back to the
          user.  This should improve the lookups in most cases.

        * ace/Svc_Handler.cpp (recycling_act): Added accessor to get the
          <recycling_act_>.

        * tests/Conn_Test.cpp (idle): Added method so that we can tell
          when a Svc_Handler is being set to idle.  Also changed the test
          so that it can use the new "hint" mechanism in the cached
          connector.

Wed Aug  5 16:12:34 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: Replaced usage of ACE_OS::thr_* with
          ACE_Thread::*.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for sending the patches.

Wed Aug  5 11:07:12 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Manager: Cleaned up the documentation and formatting
          a bit.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.i: Changed the computation of is_empty_i()
          so that it's

          return this->cur_bytes_ <= this->low_water_mark_ || this->cur_count_ <= 0;

          i.e., we use an || rather than a &&.  Thanks to Umar for
          reporting this.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.i: Changed the computation of is_empty_i() so
          that it doesn't consider the queue to be empty unless the
          cur_bytes_ <= the low_water_mark_ (which defaults to 0 so that
          no existing code is affected).  This change makes it possible
          for producer/consumer threading applications to avoid the "silly
          window syndrome."  Thanks to Umar Syyid <usyyid@hns.com> for
          suggesting this.

Wed Aug 05 00:10:27 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (strnstr (both Unicode and Multibyte versions)):
        * ace/SString.cpp (strstr):
          Fixed "off by one error" in searching algorithm.  Thanks to
          Byron Harris <harris_b@ociweb.com> for pointing this out.

        * tests/SString_Test.cpp (main): Added new test cases.

Tue Aug  4 21:56:16 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp:
        * examples/Thread/thread_specific.cpp: Replaced ACE_OS::thr_* with

Tue Aug  4 18:44:54 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html:
        Updated the file to recommend the creation of config.h as a
        regular file that includes the appropriate platform config file,
        instead of setting it to be a symlink. This is more flexible and
        allows the user to redefine some of the ACE configuration
        parameters.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h:
        As an example of the above, now the user can #define
        ACE_HAS_IP_MULTICAST in his config.h file to 0, and he won't be
        using multicast under linux. This is clearer than having to edit
        the config-linux-common.h file, which will now respect the user's
        settings (if any)..

Tue Aug  4 17:39:12 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE_Library.{mak mdp}: Added TP_Reactor.cpp to the project.

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Don't try to sysconf() for the AIO
          values if there's no chance of AIO on the system (_POSIX_ASYNC_IO
          not defined at compile time).

        * examples/OS/Process/Process.dsp: Link against ace.lib for Release,
          aced.lib for Debug (these were reversed).

Tue Aug  4 12:09:51 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Clarified the fact that the ACE_DEFAULT_MUITCAST_ADDR
          must be within the range for host group addresses: 224.0.0.0 to
          239.255.255.255.  Thanks to Christa Schwanninger
          <christa.schwanninger@mchp.siemens.de> for reporting this.

Tue Aug 04 11:01:18 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/GenExportH.BAT: Moved from TAO/TAO_IDL/.

        * ace/Token.{h,cpp} (signal_all_threads): Added this method which
          changes the return values of all acquire method to 2.  The last
          thread waiting for the token will reset the signal state
          (therefore, there's NO cancel_signal_all_threads method.)
          (shared_acquire): Return 2 if the token is signaled after
          acquiring the token successfully.
          (release):  If the token is signaled and there's no other thread
          waiting to acquire the token, reset the signal state.

        * ace/TP_Reactor.{h,i,cpp} (wakeup_all_threads): Added
          implementation for this virtual function.  It "signals" the
          token threads are waiting on and wake them up by notifying the
          reactor.
          (handle_events): Check to see if the reactor token is signaled
          after acquiring it.  If the the token is signaled, it will not
          proceed to handle events (by calling select) but instead return
          successfully.  This allow the thread the chance to check if it's
          time to shut down the event loop.

Sun Aug  2 19:43:04 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Reactor_Performance_Test.cpp:  Made a change suggested by
          Irfan to allow this test to work in Windows 95.

Sat Aug  1 20:35:32 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace:
          include/makeinclude:
          Added new config/platform files for SCO.  These files enable the
          following:

          - TAO_IDL work newly in SCO OpenServer.
          - Fixed a compilation problem with EventService in TAO.
          - Fixed a problem with ACE and TAO shared libraries.
          - Some test with TSS_Emulation and recent changes in Thread_Manager.

          Thanks to Arturo for these changes.

Sat Aug 01 13:34:12 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (flock_wrlock): LockFileEx() and UnLockFileEx() are not
          implemented on Win32.  Therefore, the flock methods were changed
          to use the non-Ex versions on Win95.  Thanks to XuYifeng
          <xuyf@pop.zg169.net> for pointing this out.

          While making the changes, I found that there were a couple bugs
          in the code: (a) the <whence> parameter was being ignored and
          (b) the adjustment for <len> == 0 was incorrect.  I think I have
          fixed both of these also in ACE_OS::adjust_flock_params().

          One last thing: I changed flock_unlock() to use UnLockFile()
          instead of UnLockFileEx(). UnLockFileEx() is also not supported
          on Win95.  Hopefully, it is ok to lock with LockFileEx() and
          unlock with UnLockFile() instead of UnLockFileEx().

        * ace/OS.cpp (pread): Changed bytes_written to bytes_read.

Fri Jul 31 23:47:50 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/auto_compile:
          We now run several on-button tests in TAO, though it is still
          hard to detect any errors.

Fri Jul 31 21:33:22 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp (open): Changed the code to ignore the
          return value from ACE::set_handle_limit().  Thanks to Zheng Han
          <zhan@glenvan.glenayre.com> for reporting this and to Arturo for
          suggesting the fix.

        * ace/ARGV.cpp: Enhanced the implemenation of string_to_array() so
          that it should always work correctly even if there are a large
          number of bytes in the original buf string.

        * ace/ARGV.cpp: Renamed string_to_array() to string_to_argv(),
          which is more intuitive.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a new macro called ACE_DEFAULT_ARGV_BUFSIZ,
          which is used as the default size of all the "argv" contents in
          ACE_ARGV.  This defaults to 4 kbytes.

Fri Jul 31 19:15:58 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (pwrite and pread): There were many bugs in these two
          methods.

          - It was assumed that it is ok to call WriteFile/ReadFile with
            an OVERLAPPED structure.  This is not true on Windows95.
            Therefore, code had to be added to make sure that on
            Windows95, WriteFile and ReadFile were called without an
            OVERLAPPED struct.

          - We were assuming that if we used the OVERLAPPED struct, the
            file pointer would not move.  It turns out that the OVERLAPPED
            struct has nothing with whether the file pointer moves or not.
            It has to do with whether the file was opened with
            FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED or not.  Since it is not possible to
            figure whether the file handle we got was opened with this
            flag or not, we have to program defensively and reset the file
            pointer in any case.

          - Also the !ACE_HAS_P_READ_WRITE implementation was not
            restoring the file pointer to its original position.  This was
            also fixed.

Fri Jul 31 12:07:16 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp (XtWaitForMultipleEvents): The first select()
          is made with the correct width.  In XtAppProcessEvent(), the
          descriptor set may change, so the underlying handle_max may also
          have changed. The second select() is made with an incorrect
          value for the width.  The solution is to reinitialize width
          before calling select() again. Thanks to J-M Strauss
          <strauss@limeil.cea.fr> for suggesting this change.

Fri Jul 31 11:18:24 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Removed the direction to set global include/library
          paths in MSVC 4.2.

Fri Jul 31 08:23:14 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Misc/test_XtReactor[12].cpp: Updated these files so
          they will work correctly with the "new" Reactor structure.  Boy,
          it's been a long time since anyone actually tried to use this
          stuff... ;-) Thanks to J-M Strauss <strauss@limeil.cea.fr> for
          reporting this.

Thu Jul 30 21:25:31 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Conf_y.cpp: This file didn't get patched with our
          routine patch.  Applied $ACE_ROOT/Svc_Conf_y.cpp.diff manually.
          This change eliminates some warnings from g++.

Thu Jul 30 19:03:12 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Timer_Queue/Thread_Timer_Queue_Test.h: Changed the type
          to class Thread_Timer_Queue_Test_Driver from
          Timer_Queue_Test_Driver <Thread_Timer_Queue, Input_Task,
          Input_Task::ACTION> to work around a bug with MSVC++.  Thanks to
          Gonzo for pointing this out.

        * examples/Connection/blocking/SPIPE-{connector,acceptor}.cpp:
          Added #include "ace/Proactor.h".  Thanks to Gonzo for reporting
          this.

Thu Jul 30 17:54:14 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/test_config.h: Added /**/ between #include and <condefs.h>
          to avoid MSVC warnings.

        * tests/WinCE/ce_tests.dsw: Renamed project
          Message_Queue_Notifications_Test to MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.

        * tests/WinCE/Reactor_Performance_Test.dsp: This project file was
          somehow missing.

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Reader_Writer_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp: Added numerous ASYS_TEXT macros to
          make sure we use the right strings on CE.

Thu Jul 30 14:56:59 1998  Gonzalo A. Diethelm  <gonzo@cs.wustl.edu>

        Moved the following static functions:

          register_stdin_handler
          remove_stdin_handler
          read_adapter

        from class ACE to class ACE_Event_Handler. That breaks a
        dependency from ACE to higher-level classes.

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i:
        Added a strnew function that works as strdup but uses new instead
        of malloc to allocate memory.

Thu Jul 30 16:54:20 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.26 released.

Thu Jul 30 13:01:12 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task.h (ACE_Task_Base): Changed the spelling of
          ACE_Task_Exit to ACE_Thread_Exit, which is correct.
          Thanks to Daniel Winder <Daniel.Winder@cern.ch> for
          reporting this.

Thu Jul 30 08:43:41 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/tests.(mdp mak): Made include and library paths relative.

Thu Jul 30 02:22:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.cpp (ts_init): Casted away constness of key_.
          Changed to cast away constness of the pointer to once_.

Thu Jul 30 01:12:30 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/TP_Reactor.i (notify_handle): Added an ASYS_TEXT where it
          was missing.  Thanks to Dieter Quehl for reporting this.

        * ace/Synch_T.cpp: It wasn't possible to call ts_object() to set
          an initial zero pointer value.  The solution is to give
          ts_object() the same ability to initialize the key as ts_get().
          I also factored out some common code into a new method called
          ts_init().  Thanks to Bob McWhirter <bob@netwrench.com> for
          reporting this.

Wed Jul 29 23:58:04 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Ntalker: Added a README file and made some
          stylistic changes to the ntalker.cpp example.

Wed Jul 29 18:38:17 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.25 released.

Wed Jul 29 17:46:21 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Task_T.h: Updated documentation to explain that
          ACE_Time_Values are ABSOLUTE rather than relative.  Thanks to
          James Johnson for reporting this.

Wed Jul 29 16:05:16 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/Process_Unix.pm:
          Use SIGTERM instead of SIGHUP to kill a process, it is the Right
          Thing and SIGHUP will not work in some cases because it is usual
          to catch this signal.

Wed Jul 29 14:04:49 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_Acceptor.cpp (open): Added
          <number_of_initial_accepts> as an extra parameter to
          open(). <number_of_initial_accepts> is the number of
          asynchronous accepts that are started at the end of <open>.  If
          <number_of_initial_accepts> is -1, then
          <number_of_initial_accepts> is set to <backlog> and hence
          <backlog> number of asynchronous accepts are started.

          (get_handle): New method to get the underlying handle.

          (set_handle): New method to set the underlying listen handle. It
          is the user's responsibility to make sure that the old listen
          handle has been appropriately closed and the all outstanding
          asynchronous operations have either completed or have been
          canceled on the old listen handle.

Wed Jul 29 12:49:09 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Makefile (FILES): Added TP_Reactor to the build list.
          Updated dependency.

        * ace/TP_Reactor.{h,i} (handle_events,notify_handler): Added two
          dummy methods to avoid warnings from SunCC.  Thanks to Carlos
          for noticing this.

Wed Jul 29 09:41:23 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: added #define
          ACE_DEFAULT_SELECT_REACTOR_SIZE 256 so that the
          ACE_Select_Reactor works with this fix:

          if (size > (size_t) ACE::max_handles ())
            return ACE::set_handle_limit (size);

          On Linux (2.0.34), only root can set RLIMIT_NOFILE above 256.

Wed Jul 29 04:19:05 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Integrate TP_Reactor into ACE.  Major framwork designed by
          Irfan.  Here's his changelog:

          * ace/TP_Reactor.h (ACE_TP_Reactor): One of the short comings of
            the Select_Reactor in ACE was that it did not support a thread
            pool based event dispatching model, similar to the one in
            WFMO_Reactor.  In Select_Reactor, only thread can be blocked
            in handle_events() at any given time.

            A new Reactor has been added to ACE that removes this
            short-coming.  TP_Reactor is a specialization of Select
            Reactor to support thread-pool based event dispatching. This
            Reactor takes advantage of the fact that events reported by
            select() are persistent if not acted upon immediately.  It
            works by remembering the event handler that just got
            activated, releasing the internal lock (so that some other
            thread can start waiting in the event loop) and then
            dispatching the event handler outside the context of the
            Reactor lock.

            This Reactor is best suited for situations when the callbacks
            to event handlers can take arbitrarily long and/or a number of
            threads are available to run the event loops.

            Note that callback code in Event Handlers
            (e.g. Event_Handler::handle_input) does not have to be
            modified or made thread-safe for this Reactor.  This is
            because an activated Event Handler is suspended in the Reactor
            before the upcall is made and resumed after the upcall
            completes.  Therefore, one Event Handler cannot be called by
            multiple threads simultaneously.

          * ace/Reactor.cpp (ACE_Reactor):
            ACE_USE_TP_REACTOR_FOR_REACTOR_IMPL can be used to make the
            TP_Reactor the default Reactor implementation that will be
            used by ACE_Reactor.

          I still need to add the reliable shutdown method and a
          TP_Reactor_Test.

        * ace/Select_Reactor.{h,i,cpp} (renew): Moved decision of renew
          supression from ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::handle_input to this
          method, which is a more appropriate place.

        * ace/Token.h (ACE_Token): Added more comprehensive comments about
          the recent changes of reader/writer semantic.

Tue Jul 28 12:36:18 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Config.cpp (~ACE_Service_Config): Removed the call
          to ACE_Service_Config::close () from the destructor.  This will
          be called by the Object Manager upon destruction.

Tue Jul 28 11:34:15 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,i} (strpbrk): Added a const wchar_t version of this
          function.  Thanks to Ivan Murphy <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de>
          for providing the fix.

Tue Jul 28 09:52:08 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (exit): only declare local close_handle
          if ACE_USE_ONE_SHOT_AT_THREAD_EXIT.  (ACE_Thread_Descriptor):
          reordered initializers to match declaration order.

        * ace/Dynamic.cpp,Thread_Manager.cpp: moved
          ACE_TSS_Singleton<ACE_Dynamic, ACE_Null_Mutex> instantiation
          from Thread_Manager.cpp to Dynamic.cpp.

Mon Jul 27 16:31:27 1998  Arturo Montes  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.{h,i,cpp}:
        * ace/Log_Msg.cpp: The Thread_Manager::at_exit method now provides a
          list of at_exit functions to be invoked to at thread termination
          code. If you want to maintain previous compatibility use
          ACE_USE_ONE_SHOT_AT_THREAD_EXIT. The new code maintaing
          compatibility with the old code, ACE_Task::svc_run has not been
          altered.

          We resolve a problem with ACE_TSS_cleanup, some platform
          using Thread_Manager could be experimenting memory corruption because
          of ACE_TSS_cleanup was being invoked before Thread_Manager exit
          code. Now, if ACE_TSS_cleanup is called before of Thread_Manager
          exit code, ACE_TSS_cleanup delegate ACE_Log_Msg delete instance
          to Thread_Descriptor.

          Really, at_exit code is implemented in ACE_Thread_Descriptor, I
          strongly recommend use at_exit code from Thread_Descriptor,
          however in ACE_Thread_Manager we provide at_exit hook.

          Use of at_exit(void* object,ACE_CLEANUP_FUNC cleanup_hook,void*
          param) is deprecated. We maitain it for compatibility and it
          will be forever, however if you want implement new at_exit hook,
          look into Thread_Manager.h and specialize ACE_At_Thread_Exit
          class for your needs.

          If you want to allocate an ACE_At_Thread_Exit hook in stack, you
          can do it. The at_exit code use at_exit overloading to take care
          of this. Equally dynamic creation of at_exit hook is supported
          too.

Mon Jul 27 14:25:15 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: Changed C-Style casts to
          ACE_static_casts, documented argument structure members

Mon Jul 27 12:23:55 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp (open): Changed a erroneous comparison
          to

          if (size > (size_t) ACE::max_handles ())
            return ACE::set_handle_limit (size);

          Thanks to Avi Nash <anash@RedBrick.COM> for reporting this.

Sat Jul 25 20:26:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/SPIPE_Acceptor.(h cpp): Modified Win32 part to start the
          ConnectNamedPipe at open() time, in overlapped mode.  Now also
          processes the timeout in accept(), if specified.

Sat Jul 25 16:18:30 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Malloc_T.i (addr):
          Sun/CC does not like a reinterpret cast here, but only when T is
          a char[20]. Use a couple of static casts and added a comment.

Sat Jul 25 11:34:25 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Typed_SV_Message_Queue.i (send): Fixed this call to use a
          const cast AND a reinterpret cast.  Thanks to David Levine for
          reporting this.

Fri Jul 24 23:14:09 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Threads/thread_specific.cpp (cleanup): Added an
          ACE_reinterpret_cast().  Thanks to John Mulhern
          <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for this.

        * ace/Typed_SV_Message_Queue.i: Added some necessary
          ACE_reinterpret_cast()s.  Thanks to John Mulhern
          <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for this.

        * ace/Malloc_T.i (addr): Changed (T *) cast to
          ACE_reinterpret_cast().  Thanks to John Mulhern
          <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for this.

        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Bcast.cpp: Added an ACE_reinterpret_cast() macro
          to make the HP/UX 11 C++ compiler happy.  Thanks to John Mulhern
          <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for this.

        * ace/config-hpux11.h: Added ACE_HAS_BROKEN_XTI_MACROS and
          ACE_HAS_SIGISMEMBER_BUG.

        * ace/OS.i (sigismember): Sigismember works correctly in most
          respects but the Sigset_Ops_Test tests the sigismember function
          with an out-of-range signal number expecting it to fail with a
          minus one result.  On HPUX 11.0 it doesn't fail; it correctly
          reports that the signal is not in the sigset.  This happens
          because HP, bless their hearts, thought that it should only
          return out of range when the signal value was greater than the
          capacity of the sigset; if ACE_NSIG is forced to 257 then the
          test works as expected.  But the real maximum signal is 45.
          Added a fix for this courtesy of John Mulhern
          <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com>.

        * ace/OS.h: Added a workaround for broken XTI header files on
          HP/UX.  Thanks to John Mulhern <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for
          reporting this.

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: Reformatted this just a bit.

Fri Jul 24 21:42:39 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Message_Block.{h,cpp}: renamed ACE_Time_Value::max
          to ACE_Time_Value::max_time, because VxWorks #defines max.

        * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp: rearranged declarations so
          that the test will build on non-threaded platforms.

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: changed ACE_MT_SYNCH to
          ACE_SYNCH, so that we have a chance of building on non-threaded
          platforms.

Fri Jul 24 15:15:28 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Updated the manual pages to reflect recent changes.

        * ace/Svc_Conf.h: Change from yyerror (char *) to yyerror (const
          char *).

Fri Jul 24 14:36:30 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.{cpp, h} (ACE_Time_Value): Added ACE_Time_Value::max,
          for the value at the other end of the time spectrum that can
          be represented as a normalized ACE_Time_Value (LONG_MAX seconds,
          ACE_ONE_SEC_IN_USECS - 1 microseconds).

        * ace/Message_Block.{cpp, h} (ACE_Message_Block): Changed default
          parameters so message deadlines default to ACE_Time_Value::max
          instead of ACE_Time_Value::zero - this ensures the assigned
          static priority order is preserved in a dynamic message queue
          if deadlines are not set.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.{cpp, h} (ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue): Changed
          enqueue_tail and enqueue_head to call overloaded enqueue_prio
          instead of static message queue base class methods (fixes bug
          EC_Multiple_Test uncovered where a tail-enqueued zero length
          message is still seen in the queue by the base class, but the
          derived dynamic message queue class thinks the queue is empty)

        * DOC-way.html: added one on chess and sleep

Fri Jul 24 12:35:12 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Token.{h,cpp}: Fixed warnings from gcc and SunCC.

Fri Jul 24 09:05:24 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): with ACE_HAS_DCE_DRAFT4_THREADS and
          ACE_LACKS_SETDETACH (LynxOS and HP/UX 10.x), call
          ::pthread_detach () on the newly spawned thread.  Only do
          it if the THR_DETACHED flag is enabled.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (join_thr,wait,wait_grp,wait_task):
          with ACE_HAS_DCE_DRAFT4_THREADS and ACE_LACKS_SETDETACH
          (LynxOS and HP/UX 10.x), call ::pthread_detach () on joined
          threads.  Only do it if the THR_DETACHED flag is not enabled.

        Thanks to Dave Mayerhoefer <davem@lynx.com> for diagnosing the
        lack of ::pthread_detach () calls in ACE.

Fri Jul 24 00:39:47 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_dll.dsp (Message_Queue_T.cpp): This file contains
          template definitions and should not be included while building
          ACE library.

        * ace/config-win32.h (ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER): Use
          non-static object manager by default on Win32 (except CE.)  This
          at least fixed the problem of WSACleanup getting called too late.

          To disable this, define ACE_HAS_NONSTATIC_OBJECT_MANAGER to 0.

Thu Jul 23 22:17:41 1998  Arturo Montes  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>

        * ace/OS.cpp,Task.cpp,Thread_Manager.cpp: unify the Thread
          Adapter use between general ACE threads and threads spawned
          with a Thread_Manager.

          With this patch we add a new flag: ACE_USE_THREAD_MANAGER_ADAPTER.
          If you set this flag in your config file, ACE will use the
          ace_thread_manager_adapter in Thread_Manager, matching the current
          behaviour.  If you omit this flag, ACE will use ace_thread_adapter.
          This change save a lot of source code and will let in the future
          incorporate ACE_Thread at_exit.

Thu Jul 23 15:30:41 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Token.{h,i,cpp}: On platforms that support timed acquire
          semaphores, changed to use semaphores for signaling mechanism
          for better performance.
          (shared_acquire,renew): Give priority to acquire_write over
          acquire_read.

Thu Jul 23 14:05:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Misc/context_switch_test.cpp:
          helped yield test on VxWorks by timing each yield.
          Added half-second delay between outer interations to give
          LynxOS (w/ ACE_LACKS_SETDETACH) a chance to cleanup exited threads.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: added support for _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS.
          If it is #defined, then #define ACE_HAS_PTHREADS_1003_DOT_1C
          instead of ACE_HAS_STHREADS.  Thanks to Doug Anderson
          <doug@clark.net> for investigating this and providing the
          update.

        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp (elapsed_time (ACE_hrtime_t &nanoseconds)):
          simplified the calculation.  Thanks to Tom Dobridge
          <dobridge@persimmon.com> for the fix.

Wed Jul 22 19:20:43 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Proactor.h (ACE_Proactor): Since <completion_strategy> is a
          valid constructor parameter for all platforms,
          POSIX_COMPLETION_STRATEGY should be defined for all platforms.

        * ace/Proactor.cpp (ACE_Proactor): Only use the
          completion_strategy when ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS is defined.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp (ACE_Asynch_Result): Only delete
          this->aiocb_ptr_ when ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS is defined.

Wed Jul 22 17:58:27 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Updated the comments.

Wed Jul 22 17:55:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/token_test.cpp: A new test.

Wed Jul 22 17:50:58 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Defiend ACE_SIG_AIO to be SIGRTMIN. This is the only
        signal used for all the <Asynch_Operation>s.

Wed Jul 22 17:46:45 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h,Asynch_IO.cpp Proactor.h Proactor.cpp :

                First round of changes for sigtimedwait () based approach
        of completion querying.

                Added one more parameter to the Proactor contructor to
        decide the <aio> completion strategy for the POSIX implementation,
        either <aiocb> control blocks or the RT signals. The default is RT
        signals.

                Fixed Transmit file. Proactor's handle_events () is done
        with in the ACE_Asynch_Transmit_Handler so that control does not
        return to the user's application before the whole file is
        transmitted. Otherwise the user's application might start writing
        to the same socket and this might change the order of the file
        that is being transmitted.

Wed Jul 22 15:51:48 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Benchmark_Base.h
          (Benchmark_Method_Base): Passing the test item into pre_run_test
          so the thread can be setup correctly.  Duh!

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Performance_Test.{h,cpp}
          (pre_run_test): Added code so that it iterates thru test items
          in svc.conf properly.  Duh**2!

Wed Jul 22 15:48:25 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.24 released.

Wed Jul 22 11:45:44 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Aio_Platform_Test.cpp: Added <aio_> calls test for
          platforms with ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS defined.

Wed Jul 22 11:32:33 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: VxWorks only, fixed a few
          minor things so that it builds now.

        * ace/config-linux-common.h: added ACE_HAS_GPERF.

Tue Jul 21 23:09:31 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/{Synch_Tests,synch_driver}.dsp:
          Updated proejct source files and renamed debug version dll.

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Performance_Test.cpp: Added
          ACE_Svc_Export directive.

Tue Jul 21 20:17:31 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE_Library.{mdp mak}: Removed ..\STL from include directories.

Tue Jul 21 12:34:11 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: Defined ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS.

Mon Jul 20 19:35:21 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/config-aix-4.1.x.h: Added ACE_LACKS_RLIMIT.  Thanks to Zheng
          Han <zhan@glenvan.glenayre.com> for finding this problem.

        * ace/ACE_Library.{mdp mak}: Set up ".." as an include file directory
          so that $ACE_ROOT doesn't have to be added to MSVC's global options.
          Allows working on more than one ACE version.

        * netsvcs/lib/netsvcs4.{mdp mak}: Made paths to ACE components relative
          and made Debug build netsvcsd.dll - this will work with Nanbor's new
          DLL search method (from 19-July).

        * netsvcs/servers/servers4.{mdp mak}:
        * netsvcs/clients/Logger/Logger.{mdp mak}:
          Made paths to ACE components relative.

Mon Jul 20 11:12:44 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Object_Manager.{h,cpp}: added ACE_TSS_BASE_LOCK, to
          support ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION with ACE_USE_NATIVE_KEYS.

        * include/makeinclude/rules.lib.GNU: (INSTALL): use += to
          define INSTALL instead of =, so that applications' INSTALL
          won't be overwritten.

        * ace/config-osf1-4.0.h,config-linux-common.h: added
          ACE_HAS_GPERF.

Mon Jul 20 11:06:44 1998  Arturo Montes  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>

        * ace/OS.*: added support for TSS emulation with Pthreads.
          It uses one native TSS key for its internal implementation.
          All other TSS keys, both within the ACE library and in
          applications, use keys managed by ACE.
          To enable, add these #defines to your config.h:
          #define ACE_HAS_TSS_EMULATION
          #define ACE_USE_NATIVE_KEYS

Sun Jul 19 22:21:17 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: added ACE_THROW_SPEC definition.

Sun Jul 19 00:48:42 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Re-enabled searching for *d.dll before
          *.dll for debug version of ACE.  There was a premature return
          error in the logic.  This is now the default behavior and has to
          be disabled explicitly by defining ACE_DISABLE_DEBUG_DLL_CHECK.

Sat Jul 18 22:51:59 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.23 released.

Sat Jul 18 22:48:52 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * There was a typo in the Makefile where CE-status should have
          been CE-status.txt.  Thanks to Nanbor for fixing this.

Sat Jul 18 22:14:07 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.22 released.

Sat Jul 18 21:11:52 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_hpux_aCC.GNU: Added +W829 to suppress
          "string literal to char * is deprecated".  I was going to fix these
          in ACE, but TAO just wore me down... ;-)

Sat Jul 18 Michael Kircher  <mk1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp: Changed the time measurement
          completely. Before we meassured end-to-end. Now we meassure
          only the time spend in actual doing things. At the end
          all the time spend is summarized.

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.h: Added this file, which contains
          definitions for the test.

Sat Jul 18 19:47:45 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.cpp: Looks like we are having some trouble with the
          loading of *d.dll before *.dll on NT, so it is now disabled
          by default (until the problem is solved).  To enable use:
          ACE_USE_DEBUG_DLL_CHECK.

Sat Jul 18 13:51:49 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/Makefile: Always compile the gperf directory by default
          now.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: Added a new flag called ACE_HAS_GPERF,
          which should be enabled if the OS/compiler platform can compile
          GPERF.  This will determine if we can use perfect hashing in
          TAO!

Sat Jul 18 10:52:49 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Conf_l.cpp:
        * ace/Svc_Conf_y.cpp:
        Move the Id and added ACE_RCSID.
        The #line commands changed their line numbers.

        * ace/Svc_Conf.l:
        * ace/Svc_Conf.y:
        Added an ACE_RCSID, and erased a few white spaces at the end.

        * etc/Svc_Conf_l.cpp.diff:
        * etc/Svc_Conf_y.cpp.diff:
        Got rid of a couple of RCS Ids that were being "replaced" by the
        patches. These were probably a maintenance problem and didn't
        really add much. I also cleaned up the patches: there were a
        couple of useless replacements (lines with white spaces at the
        ends, etc.), and some of the line offsets were wrong (but patch
        could still catch them with its fuzz factors). Now the patches
        apply cleanly.

Sat Jul 18 9:00:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * DCS: Born 36 years ago, at this moment.  Yow, I've now become
          a "perfect square" ;-)

Fri Jul 17 18:30:10 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T.cpp (connect_svc_handler): The activation of
          the newly created handler is moved outside the scope of the lock
          of the cached connector.  This is necessary to avoid subtle
          deadlock conditions with this lock and the Reactor lock.  Thanks
          to Micheal for finding this race condition.

Fri Jul 17 13:53:54 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Threads/barrier2.cpp (ACE_MT_SYNCH>): Cleaned up the
          coding style in this example.

        * ace/TTY_IO.cpp (control): Added entries for 300 baud.  Thanks to
          the ever vigilant Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.com.co> for
          reporting this.

Fri Jul 17 14:51:55 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile (CONTROLLED_FILES): Added CE-status to distribution.
          Thanks to David for reminding this.

Fri Jul 17 12:48:26 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Removed unused variable, and disabled the
          test for platforms with POSIX semaphores since POSIX semaphores
          don't do timeouts (which this test stresses).

Fri Jul 17 07:32:26 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile (CONTROLLED_FILES): added ACE-inheritance.{pdf,ps}.gz
          to distribution.  Thanks to Gabriel Lima <gali@enea.se> for
          reporting their absence.  Also, added COPYING to distribution.

        * ace/IO_SAP.cpp (enable): removed unreachable break statement.

        * ace/OS.i (sema_wait w/time): on VxWorks and pSoS, subtract
          the current time from the time argument to get the relative
          time that the systems calls expect.  Thanks to Steve Huston
          for recommending this change.  Also, removed ACE_ADAPT_RETVAL
          wrap so that errno isn't disturbed.  On VxWorks, convert
          S_objLib_OBJ_TIMEOUT errno to ETIME.

        * tests/run_tests.{sh,vxworks}: added Semaphore_Test.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated multicast on Linux discussion.

Thu Jul 16 18:28:31 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/OS.i (ACE_OS::sema_wait(ACE_sema_t*, ACE_Time_Value&)):
          Changed WinCE version to use time as absolute and update it if
          the semaphore is acquired.  Changed Win32 version to update the
          time if semaphore is acquired.

        * tests/Semaphore_Test.cpp: Added sanity checks for time that the
          semaphore waits take and for the updated time values on acquiring
          a semaphore.

Thu Jul 16 15:41:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/UPIPE_SAP/ex2.cpp,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_L_CODgram.i,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_L_Dgram.i,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_Broadcast.i,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_L_Pipe.i,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_L_Stream.i,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_R_Dgram.i,
          examples/Service_Configurator/IPC-tests/server/Handle_R_Stream.i:
          Changed all uses of SIGIO to ACE_SIGIO.


        * ace/IPC_SAP: Cleaned up the enable() and disable() methods and
          documentation so they correctly use the new ACE_* macros
          described in the following bullet.

        * ace/OS.h: Added new ACE_SIGIO, ACE_SIGURG, and ACE_CLOEXEC flags
          that should be used instead of the SIGIO or SIGURG, etc., in
          order to ensure uniqueness.  However, legacy code will continue
          to work.

        * ace/IO_SAP.cpp: Added new ACE_SIGIO, ACE_SIGURG, and ACE_CLOEXEC
          flags that should be used instead of the SIGIO or SIGURG, etc.,
          in order to ensure uniqueness.  However, legacy code will
          continue to work.

Thu Jul 16 15:02:55 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch_T.h: Use ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex instead of
          ACE_Condition<ACE_Thread_Mutex> as the default condition
          variable (ACE_SYNCH_CONDITION), this removes some headaches wrt
          template instantiation.

        * ace/IPC_SAP.cpp: Added support for the close-on-exec flag. We
          use the new ACE_CLOEXEC macro for this.

Thu Jul 16 12:50:42 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * netsvcs/lib/netsvcs.dsp:
        * netsvcs/servers/servers.dsp:  Updated DLL names.

        * ace/ACE.cpp (ldfind): Conventionallly, Win32 platforms
          distinguish debug version DLL from release version DLLs by
          suffixing debug version DLL names with 'd'.  (E.g., aced.dll
          v.s. ace.dll.)  This was causing some problem in managing the
          svc.conf files because we need to link the matching DLL with the
          executables regarding of how they get compiled.

          I modified the ldfind so that when a debug version ACE is
          searching for a DLL file, it will first try to find the debug
          version of that DLL by suffixing the name with 'd'.  If it can't
          be found, it then searches for the name specified.  The release
          version doesn't try to do this.  Now, we can specify only the
          "normal" dll names in svc.conf files and ACE can pick up the
          right dlls for you without changing svc.conf files.  However,
          you need to follow the Win32 DLL naming convention as described
          above.

          I don't expect this feature to cause any backward compatibility
          problem.  However, if in the rare event, it does cause you
          problem, you can disable it by defining
          ACE_DISABLE_DEBUG_DLL_CHECK in your config.h file.  Notice that
          this change only affects Win32 platforms.

Thu Jul 16 08:55:48 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Dynamic_Service.cpp (instance): removed const-ness
          from local void * obj, because the function return value
          isn't const.  Sun C++ caught this.

        * STL,Makefile: removed STL from ACE, for good this time.  There
          are no more STL dependencies in TAO's AVStreams.  However, if
          you still want to use the version of STL that was in ACE, you
          can obtain it at www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/STL.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note on enabling multicast on Linux for
          TAO's NameService.  And, added note on adding a routing table
          entry to enable multicast on Linux.  Thanks to Nanbor for
          discovering that.

Wed Jul 15 19:00:33 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Dynamic_Service.cpp (instance): Made the error reporting
          less verbose.  Thanks to Darrell for suggesting this.  In
          addition, changed the use of (SERVICE *) to
          ACE_reinterpret_cast().

Wed Jul 15 16:16:40 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp: Fixed message/byte counting bugs.

Wed Jul 15 15:42:44 1998  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added a copy constructor for ACE_Thread_ID.

Wed Jul 15 14:33:15 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: Added some MVS-specific behavior in the
          error checking/recovery code so that bad handles are properly
          located and removed on MVS Open Edition.  Thanks to Chuck Gehr
          for his hard work in tracking these down.

Tue Jul 14 14:00:00 1998  Michael Kircher  <mk1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Select_Reactor.cpp: Changed the handling
          of the state_changed flag. Now, it is set to "changed" (=1)
          after each run of the event loop. This fixed a nested
          upcalls bug, which was caused by overwriting this
          flag each time entering the event loop. So that,
          when poping one level of the handle_events call
          stack information was lost about changes. Now, we
          assume that information has changed and
          propagate this knowlegde down in the call
          stack. No performance overhead is caused by that.

Tue Jul 14 12:02:15 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/C-inserver.cpp:
        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/C-inclient.cpp:
        * ace/SOCK_Dgram_Mcast.cpp:
        * ace/SOCK_Acceptor.cpp:
        * ace/ACE.cpp:
          Use ACE_reinterpret_cast in several conversions address type
          conversions (like from sockaddr* to sockaddr_in*).
          Some compilers (HP/aCC) give a warning if the old C-style cast
          operators are used; using the proper cast operator removes the
          warning. Thanks to John Mulhern <9107@mn3.lawson.lawson.com> for
          pointing out this problem.

Tue Jul 14 11:26:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile: added STL back in, because TAO's AVStreams still uses it.
          Thanks to Hans Rohnert <hans.rohnert@mchp.siemens.de> for
          reporting this.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp (refresh_{late,pending}_queue): removed some
          breaks following ACE_ERROR_RETURNs, to avoid compiler warnings about
          unreachable statements.

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: commented out unused global
          FIFO_receipt_order.

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: added ACE_UINT64_LITERAL macro.  Thanks to
          Nanbor for suggesting it.

        * ace/Stats.cpp: use ACE_UINT64_LITERAL to replace platform-specific
          code.

Mon Jul 13 22:29:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: swapped "const" and "static"
          qualifiers so that "static" appears first.
          (run_performance_test): initialized random_int to 0 to avoid
          g++ warning.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.h: on VxWorks, added forward declaration
          of class ACE_Message_Queue_Vx.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp (create_Vx_message_queue): added
          template <ACE_SYNCH_DECL>.

Mon Jul 13 16:37:07 1998  Chris D. Gill  <cdgill@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Message_Queue_T.cpp:
        refined dynamic queues based on performance test results

Mon Jul 13 16:35:50 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.{cpp, h, i}
          ace/Message_Queue_T.{cpp, h}:

          Removed automatic deletion of beyond messages, replaced this
          with a remove_messages method to be called by an external
          "reaper" if at all.  Reorganized dynamic message queues
          to remove sources of overhead, especially in checking
          message status while refreshing the queue: added separate
          head and tail pointers for pending, late, and beyond late
          protions of queue: only move these pointers, not messages
          (except at enqueue).

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp:

          Added performance tests for static and dynamic queues
          which do best case, worst case, and randomized ordering
          of messages, presenting each ordering to all queues
          and clocking enqueue and dequeue performance.

Mon Jul 13 11:11:56 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Svc_Handler.h (ACE_SYNCH_USE>): Changed type of member
          <dynamic_> to int.  Thanks to Zoran Ivanovic
          <zorani@pathcom.com> for pointing this out.

Sun Jul 12 13:25:04 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Separated the Linux RedHat 5.1 and 5.0
          discussions into different paragraphs.

Sat Jul 11 14:25:58 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timer_Queue_Adapter.cpp: moved the ACE_RCSID inside the
          ifndef ACE_TIMER_QUEUE_ADAPTERS_C protection, because this
          file gets multiply included with g++.

        * ace/config-lynxos.h: added #define ACE_USE_RCS_ID 0.

Sat Jul 11 03:44:00 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/inc_user_config.h:
        Defined an ACE_RCSID macro to add RCS Id keywords to .cpp
        files. Also defined an ACE_USE_RCSID macro that allows turning
        this feature on and off.

        * ace/config-chorus.h:
        * ace/config-psosim-g++.h:
        * ace/config-vxworks5.x.h:
        These files have the RCS Id keywords off by default.
        I hope these are all (and the only) real-time OSs that could be
        impacted by the extra 40K or so of space.

        Added RCS Id keywords to all these files.

        * ace/ace_bcc.ide:
        Don't really know what changed here...

Fri Jul 10 23:11:36 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: redirect rdiff error messages to /dev/null.

Fri Jul 10 22:15:04 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.21 released.

Fri Jul 10 10:29:58 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/SString.h: added ACE_INLINE specifiers to operator+
          declarations, to please Sun C++.  Will AIX be able to cope?

Thu Jul 09 23:27:26 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        Corrected definitions for ACE_Export under Borland compilers.

        * ace/SString.h:
        Got rid of the friend operators.

        * ace/Containers.cpp:

        * tests/Thread_Pool_Test.cpp:
        Got rid of a few assignments to zero that cause warnings with
        the Borland compiler.

        * ace/ace_bcc.ide:
        * tests/tests_bcc.ide:
        Now Borland C++ 5.x supports building ACE as a DLL, and the tests
        are linked against the Debug DLL.

        * tests/tests.bpg:

Thu Jul 09 16:23:34 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Registry.h (ACE_Registry): Changed the Registry class so
          that it does not use STL containers and the string classes
          anymore.  It now uses ACE containers and string classes.  There
          should be no dependency on STL in ACE anymore.

        * STL: Removed this directory since ACE is no longer dependent on
          STL. If you still need these STL files, please refer to:
          http://www.rahul.net/terris/.

        * examples/Registry/test_registry_{update,iterator}.cpp (main):
          Updated files to work with modified Registry.

        * ace/SString.cpp (ACE_WString::operator<<): Added new operator.

        * Makefile: Updated Makefile so that STL is no longer released
          with ACE.

Thu Jul 09 09:37:43 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types: for LONG_LONG size determination, don't use
          ULONGLONG_MAX ifdef __GNUG__.  This change should fix a build
          problem on g++/Irix 6.4.  Thanks to Johan Lundin <johan@lundin.com>
          for reporting the problem.

Wed Jul 08 17:47:48 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Strategies_T (ACE_Scheduling_Strategy,
          ACE_Schedule_All_Reactive_Strategy, and
          ACE_Schedule_All_Threaded_Strategy): The code in these classes
          was screwed up. The base class (ACE_Scheduling_Strategy) was
          keeping a pointer to the SVC_HANDLER in order to enable the
          derived classes to get to the Reactor and Thread Manager. Also,
          if the user did not pass in an instance of SVC_HANDLER, one was
          created dynamically ;-( Another problem was that the Reactor
          field was set on the SVC_HANDLER, but the SVC_HANDLER was never
          registered with the Reactor. So when the SVC_HANDLER was
          deleted, it tried to remove itself from a potentially
          non-existent Reactor.

          Solution: Removed scheduler_ as protected member of the base
          class.  Added thr_mgr_ to ACE_Schedule_All_Threaded_Strategy and
          reactor_ to ACE_Schedule_All_Reactive_Strategy.  Now these
          classes do not need the scheduler_ member anymore.

Wed Jul  8 13:47:02 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-sunx86-sunc++-4.x.h: inserted note to not use this
          config, but to use config-sunos5.5.h instead.  After we
          have installed and tested Sun C++ on Solaris86, we should
          remove this config.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: added note about increasing NUM_FILES to
          1000 in VxWorks kernel configuration.  Thanks to
          Jeff Franks <Jeffrey_Franks@i-o.com> for reminding me about
          this change from the default VxWorks kernel configuration.

Tue Jul 07 14:36:56 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_ce_dll.dsp: Added Stats.cpp into project.

        * ace/README: Added a new directive
          ACE_HAS_WIN32_STRUCTURAL_EXCEPTIONS and its documentation.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Defined
          ACE_HAS_WIN32_STRUCTURAL_EXCEPTIONS for Win32 except CE.

        * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp}:
        * ace/OS.{h,i,cpp}: Changed to use ifdef
          ACE_HAS_WIN32_STRUCTURAL_EXCEPTIONS for structural exception
          code.

        * ace/Token.cpp:
        * ace/Stats.cpp:
        * ace/High_Res_Timer.cpp: Made them CE friendly.

Tue Jul 07 09:26:22 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h: updated comments that describe
          ACE_thread_t * argument to spawn () family.

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp},Thread_Manager.cpp: on VxWorks only, instead
          of using a string to mark an ACE_thread_t as being allocated
          by the ACE_Thread_Manager, use a single character (ASCII DC2).

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks: added Dynamic_Priority_Test.

        * apps/gperf/src/Makefile: added trailing $ to Id string.

Tue Jul  7 10:48:42 EET DST 1998 Wei Chiang <chiang@horizon.ntc.nokia.com>

        * tests/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Con_Acc_Test.cpp:
        Use a counter, max. number of unread messages, instead of wait
        to work around the blocking problem in ipcSend()

Mon Jul  6 22:32:19 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ace_bcc.ide:
        Updates for Borland C++ 5.x.

        * ace/config-win32.h:
        Made sure ACE_HAS_WINNT4 and _WIN32_WINNT are always defined if
        they were not explicitly defined.

        * ace/config-win32-borland.h:
        * ace/config-win32-common.h:
        Moved all the Borland definitions to a config-win32-borland.h
        file.

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_SEH_TRY):
        Added correct support for Borland C++ 5.x.

        * ace/OS.cpp:
        Replaced the ugly hack to access wProcessorArchitecture under
        Borland compilers for an even uglier hack, but that will work on
        every Borland compiler, as long as the members of SYSTEM_INFO are
        consistent. See the code and get sick!

        * ace/LOCK_SOCK_Acceptor.h:
        * ace/Array.cpp:
        * ace/Arg_Shifter.cpp:
        Were missing an "ace/" in some includes.

        * tests/tests_bcc.ide:
        Added all (well, most) of the tests to the project file.

        * tests/Makefile:
        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.cpp:
        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.bpr:
        * tests/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.dsp:
        * tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.cpp:
        * tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.bpr:
        * tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.dsp:
        * tests/run_tests.bat:
        * tests/run_tests.psosim:
        * tests/run_tests.sh:
        * tests/run_tests.vxworks:
        * tests/tests.bpg:
        * tests/tests.dsw:
        * tests/tests.mak:
        * tests/WinCE/Message_Queue_Notifications_Test.dsp:
        * tests/WinCE/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.dsp:
        * tests/version_tests/Message_Queue_Notification_Test.dsp:
        * tests/version_tests/MsgQueue_Notifications_Test.dsp  :
        Changed name of Message_Queue_Notifications_Test to
        MsgQueue_Notifications_Test, to avoid problems with Borland
        compilers.

        * tests/Enum_Interfaces_Test.cpp:
        Added some output to test ACE_OS::uname().

        * tests/Basic_Types_Test.cpp:
        Changed a couple of debug lines to contain only one \n.

Mon Jul  6 14:24:11 EET DST 1998 Wei Chiang <chiang@horizon.ntc.nokia.com>

        * tests/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Con_Acc_Test.cpp:
        Add a pause after each send_n()(i.e. ipcSend()) as a temporary
        work around over the block problem in ipcSend() when the resources are
        exhaused.


Mon Jul  6 03:56:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h (ACE_Thread_Manager::thr_self): Instead of
          refering to ACE_Thread::thr_self, it should mention
          ACE_Thread::self.

Fri Jul 03 17:02:49 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release (create_kit): remove any existing .zip
          files before trying to create new ones, because they get
          in the way.  Thanks to J. Russell Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for reporting the problem
          with new ACE+TAO.tar.gz's not being created.

Fri Jul  3 14:24:59 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * apps/gperf/src/gperf.dsw:
        * apps/gperf/src/gperf.dsp:
        * apps/gperf/src/gperf_lib.dsp:
          Added MSVC5 Project files

        * apps/gperf/src/Key_List.cpp:
        * apps/gperf/src/Options.h:
        * apps/gperf/src/Options.cpp:
          There was a enumeration CONST, and MSVC5 didn't like it.  I
          renamed it to CONSTANT.

        * apps/gperf/src/new.cpp
          Changed a variable from int to size_t to get rid of a MSVC
          warning.

          NOTE:  I tried out some tests and even though gperf compiles
                 on NT, it doesn't seem to work correctly yet.  That
                 will come later.

Fri Jul 03 13:47:19 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.20 released.

Fri Jul 03 08:52:13 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * netsvcs/lib/Name_Handler.{cpp h}: Moved class Naming_Context from
          .cpp to .h so that AIX xlC can find it when instantiating templates.

Thu Jul  2 11:49:16 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
        * ace/OS.i: Added ACE_OS::fseek (). NT supports this too. Just
        defined SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR etc, in case they are not defined. This
        is similar to what has been done for lseek.

Thu Jul 02 10:58:00 1998  Michael Kircher  <mk1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.cpp: Totally new version,
          now we use linked lists on which we search to
          spend some time.

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.dsp: Project file for this test.

        * tests/tests.dsw: Integrated this project.

        * tests/version_tests.dsw: Integrated this project.

        * tests/Upgradable_RW_Test.dsp: Project file for this test.

Thu Jul 02 09:14:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Misc/test_timer_queue.cpp (test_functionality):
          use timer_id outside of an assert, so that we don't get compile
          warnings with ACE_NDEBUG about it being unused.

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): on VxWorks only, check if thr_id
          points to a zero char *.  If so, assign the VxWorks task
          name pointer to it (*thr_id).  Thanks to Bill Backstrom
          <backstr@anubis.network.com> for this suggestion.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (spawn_i): on VxWorks only, augmented
          comment to explain the various cases for t_id and *t_id values.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h (spawn*): on VxWorks only, added comment
          explaining use of ACE_thread_t * argument.

        * tests/Barrier_Test.cpp: on VxWorks only, added test of
          an ACE_thread_t that points to a 0 char *.

        * tests/Barrier_Test.cpp,Thread_Manager_Test.cpp: moved
          VxWorks task name and stack size tests from Barrier_Test
          to Thread_Manager_Test.

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks: on VxWorks only, enabled
          Message_Queue_Test.  It's OK to run it on VxWorks, now
          that the iterator_test () is disabled in the test.

        * tests/SOCK_Connector_Test.cpp (succeed_nonblocking):
          if the connection completion fails, reset the status
          _before_ doing the printout.  The printout causes the
          errno to be overwritten on LynxOS 2.5.0, for example.

        * Makefile (releaseall): use $(MAKE) instead of make for
          recursive make.

Wed Jul 01 21:31:40 1998  Arturo Montes  <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>

        * ace/IOStream_T.i (recv_n, eof): fixed calculation of
          timeout_ and return value.

Wed Jul 01 08:51:33 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Service_Types.cpp
          tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: Moved explicit template
          instantiations for ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue and
          ACE_Message_Queue_Factory from the test into the ACE library
          (next to where the ACE_Message_Queue instantiations resided).

Wed Jul 01 07:08:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.i,cpp (VxWorks only): removed args from a
          couple of unsupported functions, and added ACE_UNUSED_ARGS
          to others, to avoid compiler warnings.

        * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp (performance_test): allocate
          the send blocks in the main thread instead of in the sender.
          That way, the main thread can delete them after the
          receiver has finished.  Before this change, the sender would
          sometimes delete them before the reciever finished.  Thanks to
          Carlos and his friend Mr. SIGSEGV for helping to track this down.

Tue Jun 30 23:48:39 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.h: Added /**/ between #include and <> to
          prevent warnings from MSVC.

Tue Jun 30 22:05:01 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp: added template
          instantiations.

Tue Jun 30 18:55:45 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.{cpp, h}

          Added methods to ACE_Message_Queue_Factory to
          create an ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue with the
          deadline and laxity with cleanup strategies.

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.cpp

          Added tests for the new cleanup strategy factory methods

Tue Jun 30 18:03:15 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.{cpp, h}
          ace/Message_Block.{cpp, h, i}

          Reorganized ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue and related classes,
          fixed bugs that turned up in testing: it's ready to put
          on the road and see how it runs ;-)

        * tests/Dynamic_Priority_Test.{cpp, dsp}
          tests/tests.dsw
          tests/Makefile
          tests/run_tests.{bat, sh}

          Added a test for the static and dynamic (both deadline and laxity
          based) message queues, which assigns various message attributes,
          pushes messages into the queue, and makes sure the resulting
          dequeue order is correct for the given kind of queue.

Tue Jun 30 14:04:42 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp: Fixed references to an undeclared
          priority_eval_func_ptr_ - I think I figured out what it was
          supposed to be doing, but I'm not quite sure.  It compiles ;-)

        * ace/Synch.h (ACE_Adaptive_Lock): Removed "= 0" (pure virtual) from
          destructor decl.  The function is defined in Synch.cpp.

Tue Jun 30 13:13:21 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.cpp (open): Made sure that size does not exceed
          MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS.  Thanks to Dr. Schmidt for pointing this
          out.

Tue Jun 30 11:45:12 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.cpp: Added explicit class names where needed
          for ANSI C++.  Fixed some compile errors.  Still needs more work to
          compile correctly on HP-UX aCC.

Tue Jun 30 09:27:25 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * etc/ACE-guidelines.html: added a guideline about using ACE_Export.

        * ace/Message_Queue.cpp (ACE_Message_Queue_Vx::dtor; VxWorks only):
          added close () call to destructor, because the one in the parent
          class will never get called because head_ is always 0 in the derived
          class.

        * ace/Message_Queue.i (VxWorks only): finished implementing the
          ACE_Message_Queue_Vx inline member functions.

        * tests/Message_Queue_Test.cpp: added performance tests and
          tests of ACE_Message_Queue_Vx.

Tue Jun 30 03:39:15 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.h (ACE_RW_Process_Mutex): This class no longer needs
          to inherit from ACE_Process_Mutex.

        * ace/Synch.cpp (ACE_RW_Process_Mutex): On non-Win32 platforms,
          the underlying ACE_File_Lock needs to be created with owner's
          read/write permission.  Otherwise, other process won't be able
          to access the lock.

        * Makefile (CONTROLLED_FILES): Added ChangeLog-98a and
          ChangeLog-97b into release.  Thanks to Ivan Murphy
          <Ivan.Murphy@med.siemens.de> for pointing this out.

Tue Jun 30 00:51:32 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.19 released.

Tue Jun 30 00:07:39 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/main.dsp: Added macro
          definition ACE_SVC_HAS_DLL=0 in this project.  DLL linkage is
          not used in this example (yet.)  Thanks to Joe Covalesky
          <joe@nowsol.com> for noticing this.

Mon Jun 29 21:16:39 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.cpp (invoke): wrapped final return with ACE_NOTREACHED.
          "It's the right thing to do."

Mon Jun 29 19:42:12 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe_T.cpp (ACE_Timeprobe): Changed __TEXT to ASYS_TEXT.

Mon Jun 29 14:48:58 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added UNICODE macros for non-Win32 platforms.  Thanks
          to Jeff Greif <jmg@trivida.com> for pointing this out.

        * ace/OS.cpp (invoke): Added a return at the end to keep AIX
          happy.  Thanks to CLahey@cccis.com for reporting this.

Mon Jun 29 11:37:28 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ace/ACE.cpp: Added a 'const' to initialized ASYS_TCHAR * - string
          literal conversion to char * is deprecated in C++.

Sun Jun 28 22:16:51 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Service_Configurator/Misc/main.cpp (main): removed
          argc declaration because it was unused.

        * examples/Threads/task_five.cpp (work): added
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG (stack_size).

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.h: fully qualify the DEFAULT_[HL]WM
          references so that it will compile with aCC 1.07 on HPUX 10.20.
          Thanks to Avi Nash <anash@RedBrick.COM> for reporting this
          problem.

        * acer/Message_Queue.{h,cpp} (ACE_Message_Queue_Vx:enqueue_head/tail):
          implement these for VxWorks.  enqueue_head_i just calls
          enqueue_tail_i.

Sat Jun 27 18:13:05 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe_T.cpp (ACE_Timeprobe - copy constructor): Stupid
          MSVC is forcing me to define this and make it public; it should
          really be protected; please don't use it.

        * ace/Timeprobe.h: Added ACE_SINGLETON_DECLARATION; otherwise all
          compilation units would get a different instantiation of the
          time probe class.  Also, changed ACE_TIMEPROBE_SINGLETON to a
          #define instead of a typedef; otherwise the compiler bitched
          when it was use in ACE_SINGLETON_DECLARATION.

        * SINGLETON_INSTANTIATION: Removed this flag from all files in
          ACE. It is causing duplicate declaration errors.

Sat Jun 27 11:29:50 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.18 released.

Sat Jun 27 11:27:28 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: use ACE_CAST_CONST instead of const in
          ACE_CU64_TO_CU32.

Sat Jun 27 11:03:52 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * README: Updated the list of people who have contributed to TAO.

Sat Jun 27 07:07:43 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.17 released.

Sat Jun 27 00:27:29 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe:

          - Added back ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES.  David pointed out that
            without this flag, size of ACE increases even when time probes
            are not being used. Therefore, users must compile ACE with
            this flag defined if they want to use time probes.  This can
            be achieved by doing one of the following:

            . Use make probe = 1, if you are using the make utility.

            . Define ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES in config.h

            . Define ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES in the VC project file.

            . Other regular methods will also work.

            It is not necessary to define ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES when
            using time probes, you simply need ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBES.  You
            can use the ACE_TIMEPROBE_* macros to program the time probes,
            and use the ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE to enable the time probes.
            If you define ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE in your code, but forget to
            compile ACE with ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES, you will end up with
            linker errors.

            Remember that ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES means that the ACE
            library will contain code for time probes.  This is only
            useful when compiling ACE. ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBES means that
            the ACE_TIMEPROBE_* macros should spring to life.

          - Added inclusion of OS.h.  This way the ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES
            can be specified in the config file.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU: probe = 1 no longer
          means ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE.  It only means
          ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES.  This was changed because defining
          ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE here is too broad.  ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE is
          cleverly designed so that it allows only some time probes to be
          enabled (where ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE is defined), while others to
          be disabled (where ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBE is not defined).

          Example: IDL_Cubit time probes can be enabled without enabling
          TAO time probes. Or TAO time probes can be enabled without
          enabling IDL_Cubit time probes. TAO time probes are controlled
          through TAO/tao/Timeprobes.h.

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp:

          - Defining ACE_ENABLE_TIMEPROBES is not forced. Users can
            uncomment this at the top of the file.  This relieves us from
            trying to include the symbols of ACE_Timeprobes from ACE if
            ACE was compiled without using ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBES (the
            #include ace/Timeprobe.cpp trick did not work on all 8
            different ways of compiling ACE on NT).

          - Made the registration of the description arrays similar to the
            real use cases (in TAO).

          - Introduced enums and took the magic numbers out.

Fri Jun 26 20:37:06 1998  Matthew J Braun  <mjb2@cec.wustl.edu>
        * tests/Logger/clnt.h
        * tests/Logger/clnt.cpp
        * tests/Logger/svr.cpp
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Log/Logger_i.h
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Log/Logger_i.cpp
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Logger.idl

        The current status of this is incomplete. The svr* test is guaranteed
        to be nonfunctional (I cannot yet speak for the rest).


Fri Jun 26 14:52:33 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/test_config.h: Don't close the ofstream before opening the
          log stream in ACE_APPEND_LOG on Win32.  It it not necessary
          because Win32 doesn't have fork anyway and it somehow confuses
          Win32 (becuase no file was openen at that point.)

        * performance-tests/Makefile: Temporarily removed Synch-Benchmark
          from the targets.  It should be added back once the work is
          done.

Fri Jun 26 11:50:03 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: map ACE_dynamic_cast to static_cast with Sun C++,
          without RTTI, to avoid warning about using dynamic_cast
          without RTTI.  Thanks to J. Russell Noseworthy
          <rnosewor@objectsciences.com> for reporting this.

        * include/makeinclude/wrapper_macros.GNU,ACE-INSTALL.html:
          added rtti make option.

        * ace/Message_Queue.*: on VxWorks, added ACE_Message_Queue_Vx,
          which wraps native VxWorks messages queues.  See the header
          file for limitations.

        * ace/Message_Queue_T.*,Makefile: split Message_Queue into
          template and non-template files.

        * ace/Basic_Types.h: added ACE_CU64_TO_CU32 conversion macro,
          for converting const ACE_UINT64 to const ACE_UINT32.  The old
          ACE_U64_TO_U32 wouldn't work with Sun C++'s ANSI casts.

        * performance-tests/Misc/basic_perf.cpp (per_iteration): use
          ACE_CU64_TO_CU32 for narrowing the const ACE_UIN64 argument.

        * ace/config-sunos5.5.h: added ACE_HAS_ANSI_CASTS with Sun C++ 4.2.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: added
          -features=castop to CCFLAGS, to enable use of ANSI casts.

          Thanks to  J. Russell Noseworthy <rnosewor@objectsciences.com>
          for recommending the above two changes.

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sunos5_sunc++.GNU: Added
          support for rtti=1 option to make, to optionally enable RTTI.

Fri Jun 26 11:39:49 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added more infomation in {Free,Net}BSD.

Fri Jun 26 10:51:07 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h:
          Fixed problem in ACE_DES_* macros, some preprocessors were
          tokenizing ::~CLASS as ":: ~CLASS" and we wanted ":: ~ CLASS"
          (were class in a macro argument).

Fri Jun 26 09:48:55 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * VERSION: Updated this file to direct bug reports to
          the ACE mailing list.

Fri Jun 26 10:43:02 EET DST 1998 Wei Chiang <wei.chiang@ntc.nokia.com>

        * ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_OS.cpp:
        ACE_CLASSIX_OS::ACE_CLASSIX_OS()
        After created an CLASSIX reactor as an actor-wide singleton
        reactor, delete the original reator singleton, if any.

Fri Jun 26 02:18:05 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Synch-Benchmarks/Benchmark[_Base].{h,cpp}:
        * performance-tests/Synch_Benchmarks/Makefile: Added a new class
          Benchmark_Base so we can not only load the test items
          but also the test methods dynamically.

Wed Jun 24 21:37:22 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.cpp (refresh_queue): fixed syntax
          error: extraneous ;.

Wed Jun 24 19:52:30 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/IPC_SAP.cpp (enable,disable): Fixed #define nesting.

Wed Jun 24 15:36:18 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/ASX/Event_Server/Event_Server/Peer_Router.cpp
        (Peer_Router_Context): For some reason, MSVC can't grop the
        temporary objects.  Therefore, I changed the ACE_INET_Addr object
        in the constructor to a local variable.

Wed Jun 24 17:10:06 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe: Removed ACE_COMPILE_TIMEPROBE.  ACE library will
          always contain ACE_Timeprobe code.

Wed Jun 24 16:20:02 1998  James CE Johnson  <jcej@lads.com>

        * ace/IOStream.cpp (underflow,overflow): added protection against
          errors, when get/put buffers can be set to 0.

Wed Jun 24 14:42:50 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.{cpp,h}: added =TITLE/=DESCRIPTION
          and method comments to ACE_Message_Queue_Factory

        * ace/Message_Block.h: fixed comment in ACE_Laxity_Message_Strategy

Wed Jun 24 13:35:15 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Queue.{cpp,h,i}
          ace/Message_Block.{cpp,h,i}: Fixed ACE_UNIMPLEMENTED_FUNC
          declarations in ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue, moved the
          ACE_Dynamic_Message_Strategy, ACE_Laxity_Message_Strategy,
          and ACE_Deadline_Message_Strategy classes from the
          Message_Queue.* files into the respective Message_Block.*
          files (fixes link errors on platforms such as NT which
          require template source).

Wed Jun 24 11:38:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Message_Block.{cpp,h,i}: Added worst case execution time and
          deadline absolute time ACE_Time_Value members to ACE_Message_Block.
          These default to ACE_Time_Value::zero in the constructors and
          initialization methods.

        * ace/Message_Queue.{cpp,h,i}: Added ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue,
          ACE_Dynamic_Message_Strategy, ACE_Deadline_Message_Strategy,
          ACE_Laxity_Message_Strategy, and ACE_Message_Queue_Factory
          classes to facilitate adaptive use of statically or dynamically
          prioritized message queues.

Wed Jun 24 10:23:27 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release: 1) inserted /pkg/gnu/bin at head of
          PATH, if it exists.  That way, cvs diff will use GNU diff.
          Thanks to Doug for tripping over that.
          2) changed grep -E to egrep.

        * ace/OS.i,gethrtime.cpp (gethrtime): with Pentium and g++ or ghs,
          only; fixed load of 64-bit tick count into two 4-byte ints.

        * performance-tests/Misc/basic_perf.cpp (iteration_time): check
          for elapsed_time_ less than empty_iteration_time_, and return 0
          if so.

Wed Jun 24 10:02:14 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/ASX/Event_Server/Transceiver/transceiver.cpp
          (parse_args): Fixed a warning about control reaching the end of
          a method.  Thanks to David Levine for reporting this.

          David for this info.

        * ace/CLASSIX: Reran "make depend."


Wed Jun 24 13:34:32 EET DST 1998 Wei Chiang <chiang@horizon.ntc.nokia.com>

        * tests/CLASSIX/*
          Attached "CLASSIX_" to all the file names in this directory
          Added Imakefile

        * ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Select_Reactor.*
          test/CLASSIX/CLD_Connector_Test.cpp
          get_current_info() is now renamed to current_info() in compliant
          with ACE_Reactor_Impl class.

Wed Jun 24 08:17:25 EET DST 1998 Wei Chiang <chiang@horizon.ntc.nokia.com>

        * Renamed ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Reactor.* to
          ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Select_Reactor.* and adujsted other files
          accordingly.

        * ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Reactor.*
          make naming reference consistenet: all the references to
          ACE_CLASSIX_Reactor are now to ACE_CLASSIX_Select_Reactor

Wed Jun 24 02:39:35 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.16 released.

          up the Event_Transceiver code a bit.

        * examples/ASX/Event_Server/Event_Server/event_server.cpp (main):
          Cleaned up the code a bit.


Wed Jun 24 06:54:00 EET DST 1998 Wei Chiang <chiang@horizon.ntc.nokia.com>

        * Attached "CLASSIX_" to all the file names in ace/CLASSIX.

        * Modified include statments in ace/CLASSIX/* to reflect the
          name changes.

        * Added Makefile in ace/CLASSIX

        * ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Reactor.h:
          ACE_CLASSIX_Reactor_Notify is now derived from ACE_Reactor_Notify
          The private data member, select_reactor_, is now an
          ACE_CLASSIX_Reactor class instead of an ACE_Select_Reactor class.

        * ace/CLASSIX/CLASSIX_Reactor.cpp:
          in open()
          uses ACE_dynamic_cast() to cast <theReactor>
          parameter from  ACE_Reactor_Impl to ACE_CLASSIX_Reactor

Tue Jun 23 22:18:42 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Mem_Map/file-reverse/file-reverse.cpp: Fixed a minor
          bug where the program would ungraciously core dump if the file
          given on the command-line doesn't exist.  Thanks to William
          S. Lear <rael@dejanews.com> for reporting this.

Tue Jun 23 20:33:30 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

          suspend() the object; resume() it - looked like a cut/paste error.

Tue Jun 23 16:41:35 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Synch.{h,cpp} (class ACE_Adaptive_Lock): Added the new Lock
          class which allows its subclass to determine the actual locking
          mechanism it uses at run time.  Notice that all subclasses must
          provide their own contructor/destructor implementation.

Tue Jun 23 06:40:35 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Map_Manager/test_hash_map_manager.cpp (main):
          replaced use of cerr with and ACE_ERROR_RETURN.  Thanks
          to Philippe Klein <Philippe_Klein@vocaltec.com> for reporting
          this.

        * netsvcs/clients/Naming/Dump_Restore/Dump_Restore.cpp:
          added #include of ace/streams.h.  Thanks to Philippe Klein
          <Philippe_Klein@vocaltec.com> for reporting this.

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp (worker): declare "u" globally so that
          we don't quickly run out of TSS keys.

Mon Jun 22 09:25:32 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/XtReactor.cpp:
          The notify_handler_ is a pointer now, it was still deferenced as
          an object.

Mon Jun 22 09:04:21 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_osf1_4.0.GNU: removed suppression
          of warning 340, used reference to copied (temporary) value,
          because it's no longer needed.

        * ace/Message_Queue.cpp (ACE_Message_Queue_Iterator ctor):
          replaced "queue" with "q" to avoid problems with STL or on
          platforms that #define queue.  Thanks to Dave Meyer
          <dmeyer@std.saic.com> for reporting this.

        * ace/Synch_T.h: added adapter class ACE_TSS_Type_Adapter.
          It adapts built-in types for use with ACE_TSS.

        * tests/TSS_Test.cpp: demonstrate/test use of ACE_TSS_Type_Adapter.

        * ace/Timeprobe.h: added semicolon to end of
          ACE_TIMEPROBE_EVENT_DESCRIPTIONS definition, when it's non-null.

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp (main): removed trailing semicolon
          from ACE_TIMEPROBE_EVENT_DESCRIPTIONS, and added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs
          to avoid compilation warnings about unused variables.

Mon Jun 22 04:49:29 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * man/windex: Removed ACE_Service_Record from all the
          documentation since it is no longer relevant.  Thanks
          to Ivan Murphy for reporting this.

Mon Jun 22 02:59:42 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Process.cpp (setenv_i): Nedd to adjust the memory size to
          the actual string size.

Mon Jun 22 02:32:56 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Thread_Manager.h:
        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp:
        * ace/Thread_Manager.i:
        * ace/OS.cpp (uname):
        Moved a few things (comparison operators) from
        ACE_Thread_Descriptor to ACE_Thread_Descriptor_Base, to satisfy
        Borland compilers.
        Enabled a conditional compilation for all Borland compilers.
        Thanks to Valik Solorzano Barboza <valik@xs4all.nl> for pointing
        these things out.

Mon Jun 22 01:14:36 1998  Gonzalo Diethelm  <gonzo@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/ACE.bpg:
        * ace/ACED.bpr:
        * ace/ACER.bpr:
        Contained ^M characters.
        I also made sure there were no absolute paths pointing to "gonzo"
        directories...

        * ace/ACED.cpp:
        * ace/ACER.cpp:
        Added Stats.cpp as a module in the right place.

        * ace/OS.h:
        Added a ACE_NOOP macro to avoid compilation warnings when "if" is
        used as a noop in certain macros.

        * ace/Hash_Map_Manager.cpp:
        * ace/Map_Manager.cpp:
        Replaced the use of "if" as a noop with ACE_NOOP.

        * ace/Signal.cpp:
        For some obscure reason, Borland needs a blank line between the
        #if and the extern "C" void ace_sig_handler_dispatch()
        definition. Don't ask...

        * ace/Asynch_IO.h:
        Changed (again) inheritance for ACE_Asynch_Result from protected
        to public.

        I also made sure there were no absolute paths pointing to "gonzo"
        directories...

Mon Jun 22 01:33:12 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h (ACE_SYNCH_{1,2}): These two macros were added back for
          backward compatibility.

Mon Jun 22 01:12:53 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (dlerror): Just use FormatMessageA instead of
          FormatMessage.  The you don't have to worry about UNICODE being
          turned on.

Mon Jun 22 00:01:02 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.15 released.

Sun Jun 21 23:54:28 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Defined
          ACE_LACKS_MUTEXATTR_PSHARED and ACE_LACKS_CONDATTR_PSHARED.

Sun Jun 21 10:14:32 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-unserver.cpp (server): Fixed
          another ambiguity caused by the recent SOCK_IO changes.  Thanks
          to David for pointing this out.

Sun Jun 21 00:16:56 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (dlerror): Have to treat UNICODE differently because
          FormatMessage takes wchar when UNICODE is defined.

        * ace/WFMO_Reactor.{h,i,cpp}: Changed the parent class of
          ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify from ACE_Event_Handler to
          ACE_Reactor_Notify.
          (dump): Added this virtual function implementation for
          ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify.

        * Ace/Proactor.cpp (timeout): Fixed a typo.

Sat Jun 20 16:51:39 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Reactor*: Made a slew of changes to the Reactor and it's
          associated implementations so that we can integrate it
          seamlessly with Chorus ClassiX IPC.  Thanks to Wei Chiang for
          these changes.

        * ace/Acceptor.cpp: Added a flag that keeps track of whether we should
          use select() in the Acceptor.  This makes it easier to integrate
          this stuff with Chorus IPC.  Thanks to Wei Chiang for this.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp: Removed the trailing
          0 to the send() operation to (1) avoid overload ambiguity and
          (2) to use write() rather than send()!  Thanks to Chris Healey
          for reporting this.

        * ace/ACE: The default condition in the select switch in the
          enter_*_timed_wait functions assumed that all values returned
          from select if not 0 or 1 will be -1.  This is true in those
          functions due to only 1 file descriptor flag being set.  Thanks
          to Chris Healey for generalizing this a bit...

        * ace/SOCK_IO: Added the wrappers for the "non-flags" version of
          timed send()/recv().  Thanks to Chris Healey for this.

        * ace/FILE_Addr.cpp: Cleaned up the code a bit to be more
          consistent.  Thanks to Chris Healey for suggesting this.

        * ace/FILE_Addr.cpp (ACE_FILE_Addr): Removed the memset() in the
          constructor since this is overkill...

        * ace/ACE.cpp (send_n): Fixed a dump cut&paste bug in the timed
          version of send_n().  Thanks to Chris Healey
          <chealey@entera.com> for reporting this.

Sat Jun 20 14:58:21 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/indent_macros.perl: Instead of hardcoding perl's location in
          the script, it now invokes perl according to user's environment
          setting.  Thanks to David for providing the improvement.

Sat Jun 20 01:24:28 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * include/makeinclude/platform_freebsd_pthread.GNU: Changed to use
          -Wall to report all warnings.

        * ace/OS.cpp (thr_create): Specify <priority> as an unused
          argument when ACE_LACKS_SETSCHED.

        * ace/OS.{h,i,cpp}: Rearrange macro indentations.

        * bin/indent_macros.perl: This little perl script rearrange the
          indentation of macros so they are a bit easier to debug.

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Defined ACE_LACKS_PTHREAD_CANCEL.

Sat Jun 20 00:14:07 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Reactor/Proactor/test_proactor_with_aio.cpp: Test
        program for the Asynch_Transmit_File, Asynch_Read_File,
        Asynch_Read_Stream, Asynch_Write_File and Asynch_Write_Stream.

Fri Jun 19 23:58:35 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>
        * ace/Proactor.h    :
        * ace/Proactor.cpp  :
        * ace/Asynch_IO.h   :
        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp :
                - Implemented Asynch_Transmit_File for POSIX4 systems.
                - Added a new class "ACE_Asynch_Transmit_Handler", which is
                an auxillary handler class for Asynch_Transmit_File. This
                does the actual transmission doing file read and stream
                write asynchronously and finally calling the
                transmit_handler in the application.
                - Aiocb list is now of size RTSIG_MAX, the maximum number
                of RT signals that can be queued in a process at a time.

Fri Jun 19 22:17:35 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * bin/make_release (check_workspace): use cvs checkout instead
          of update, to notice any new directories that have been added
          to the repository but not to the workspace.

          There are .cvsignore files in /project/adaptive/ACE_wrappers
          and /project/adaptive/ACE_wrappers/java.  They can be used
          to suppress tripping over any new, uncontrolled files, such
          as releases, that are added to these directories.

          Filter ^U from checkout output, so that release need not be
          based on the latest repository versions.  Instead, the release
          is based on the contents of the /project/adapative/ACE_wrappers
          workspace.  It need not be brought up-to-date with the repository,
          though it cannot contain any modified files.  This change allows
          other users to continue to check in files prior to or during the
          release.

        * examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/CPP-inclient.cpp (read): added
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG (len).

        * Makefile: fixed build of .obj/gethrtime.o with ghs/VxWorks/i86.

        * tests/run_tests.vxworks:  added Timeprobe_Test, but commented
          out.  That test page faults when built with ghs for Pentium.
          It appears that the STL-style iterator usage in ACE_Timeprobe
          isn't handled properly by the compiler.

Fri Jun 19 16:51:05 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h (ACE_HAS_NONCONST_MSGSND): Macro
          definition added.

        * ace/OS.i (sigwait): Suppress compiler warnings on FreeBSD.
          (msgsnd):  Separated the case ACE_HAS_NONCONST_MSGSND out.

          Thanks to Russell L. Carter <rcarter@consys.com> for reporting
          the above fix.

Fri Jun 19 11:22:27 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.13 released.

Thu Jun 18 21:14:25 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Threads/task_five.cpp: renamed global stack_size
          to default_stack_size, to avoid shadowing by stack_size in
          main ().

        * ace/OS.i (dlopen): added support for ACE_HAS_SGIDLADD.
          (dlerror): on WIN32, return a formatted message instead of 0.
          Thanks to Kent Watsen <kent@watsen.net> for the diffs.

        * ace/config-irix6.x-sgic++-nothreads.h: added ACE_HAS_SGIDLADD.
          Thanks to Kent Watsen <kent@watsen.net> for this addition.

        * Makefile: ACE-INSTALL is not a .PHONY target.

        * ace/Makefile: only regenerate Svc_Conf_[ly].cpp if at Wash. U.

Thu Jun 18 20:46:46 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance_tests/Misc/childbirth_time.cpp: Changed to use the
          variable MULTIPLY_FACTOR in statistic calculation.

        * ace/config-freebsd-pthread.h: Added the following definition:
               #define ACE_HAS_SIGINFO_T
               #define ACE_LACKS_SIGINFO_H
               #define ACE_LACKS_UCONTEXT_H
               #define ACE_LACKS_SI_ADDR

        * include/makeinclude/platform_freebsd_pthread.GNU:  Changed to
          invoke linker directly using g++.  Added -pthread flag for
          linker.  This implies programs will link against libc_r
          automatically now.  Removed -lc_r.  Other minor changes.

          Thanks very much for lots of help from FreeBSD team esp. Amancio
          Hasty <hasty@rah.star-gate.com> and John Birrell
          <jb@cimlogic.com.au>.

Thu Jun 18 19:32:30 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Token.cpp (dump): commented out print of owner_.  Is
          there a portable way to print an ACE_thread_t via ACE_DEBUG?

Thu Jun 18 18:46:00 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe.h:
        * ace/Timeprobe_T.h:
        * ace/Timeprobe_T.cpp:
          Added methods to print the absolute values, this can be used to
          mix the results of several processes: por example on Sparcs the
          high-res timer is a CPU register so the value is consistent
          across processes, there are some potential problems with
          multiple CPUs, but that's not our case.

Thu Jun 18 16:25:28 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Threads/task_five.cpp (main): Extracted out the body of
          the test loop so that the delete[] gets called everytime the
          body gets executed.

        * ace/Thread_Manager.cpp (ACE_EXECUTE_OP,kill): We need to guard
          against non-existing target thread after searching the thread
          table.  Thanks to Savas Parastatidis
          <Savas.Parastatidis@ncl.ac.uk> for noticing the problem.

Thu Jun 18 09:23:39 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-win32-common.h: Fixed the inclusion of winsock
          related files. Thanks to Ernesto Guisado
          <eguisado@saincotrafico.com> for suggesting this.

Wed Jun 17 22:47:50 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.i (rw_trywrlock_upgrade): moved declaration of
          local "result" before the ACE_PTHREAD_CLEANUP_PUSH.
          PTHREAD_CLEANUP_PUSH/POP are macros that contain open/
          close braces on some platforms.  So, any declarations
          between them are not visible after the POP.

Wed Jun 17 19:01:53 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

          The following changes provide an interface for ACE programmers
          of more finer control over how Win32 structured exceptions are
          handled.  Thanks to Detlef Becker <Detlef.Becker@med.siemens.de>
          for contemplating the idea and passing it to us.

        * ace/Log_Msg.{h,cpp} (seh_except_{selector,handler}): Added
          new methods to retrieve/set structured exception handling
          behavior.  <Selector> is used to determine the "proper" action a
          thread should take upon a structured exception and <handler>
          performs the actual exception handling routine.  They are
          structured as below in ace_thread_adapter:

              __except (ACE_LOG_MSG->seh_except_selector () (0))
                {
                  ACE_LOG_MSG->seh_except_handler () (0);
                }

        * ace/OS.{h,cpp} (ACE_SEH_EXCEPT_HANDLER): New typedef used to
          define user win32 structured exception handler.

          (ACE_SEH_Exception_{Selector,Handler}): Default structured
          exception handler.  Two handlers ACE_Log_Msg are initialized to
          them by default.

          (ACE_Thread_Adapter,inherit_log_msg):  Added initializing and
          inheriting code to pass the spawning thread's structured
          exception handling behaviors.

        * ace/config-win32-common.h
          (ACE_SEH_DEFAULT_EXCEPTION_HANDLING_ACTION):  This macro defines
          the default action taken by ACE when a win32 structured
          exception occurs.  It is by default defined to
          EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH, which does not handle the exception
          but simply pass the exception out.  Users can overwrite the
          default behavior by defining the macro in their config.h files.

Wed Jun 17 17:30:11 1998  Michael Kircher  <mk1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Added a condition variable and a flag to
          the definition of reader/writer locks.

        * ace/OS.i: Implemented ACE_OS::rw_trywrlock_upgrade properly
          using one condition variable and a flag. The condition
          variable is used to get in front of all the possible
          waiting writers and to wait on still working readers
          on the rw_lock. The flag is used to indicate, that
          a reader is upgrading its lock. rw_unlock obeys one more
          case now.

        * ace/OS.cpp: The constructor for the Reader/writer locks
          has changed slightly to initialize and destroy the
          new members.

        * tests/Reader_Writer_Test.cpp: Added the use of the
          rw_mutex.tryacquire_write_upgrade () method to the test.

Wed Jun 17 07:34:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IOStream_Test.cpp (server): fixed sign of constant
          used to check for valid double.  Thanks to Mark Kettner
          <m.kettner@elsevier.nl> for reporting this.

        * performance-tests/UDP/udp_test.cpp: added a few
          ACE_U64_TO_U32 explicit conversions.

        * tests/Priority_Buffer_Test.cpp (consumer): re-enabled the
          statement to suppress the ghs warning about unused variable
          cur_priority.

Tue Jun 16 20:29:32 1998  Steve Huston  <shuston@riverace.com>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Added some comments concerning MSVC 5.0 and SP3.
          Thanks to Bill Fulton for the excellent detective work.

Tue Jun 16 16:08:23 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/Timeprobe_T.h (class ACE_Timeprobe): Fixed copy constructor
          signature. Thanks to Chuck R. Gehr
          (GehrCR@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM) for pointing this out.

Tue Jun 16 16:18:08 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/FILE_Addr.cpp (operator=): Check to make sure we
          NUL-terminate the memcpy'd filename correctly.  Thanks to Istvan
          Buki <ibuki@fedex.com> for reporting this.

Tue Jun 16 15:43:55 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: Changed to instruct users to #include
          "ace/config-win32.h" instead of "config-win32.h" directly.
          Thanks to Gonzo <gonzo@ing.puc.cl> for noticing this.

Tue Jun 16 10:33:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * os-patches/linux-patches.html: added RedHat 5.1 success
          report from Chanaka Liyanaarachchi <chanakal@ittc.ukans.edu>.

        * ace/Basic_Types.h,High_Res_Timer.cpp,
          performance-tests/Misc/basic_perf.cpp:
          added explicit ACE_U64_TO_U32 conversion macro.  WIN32's __int64
          and ACE_U_LongLong need an explicit narrowing to 32 bits.  This
          macro provides a consistent way to do that on all platforms.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.*: added trailing $ to CVS keyword string.

        * ace/Asynch_IO.cpp: fixed so that it will compile with Sun CC
          on Solaris 2.6.  Thanks to Frederic ANDRES <andres@rd.nacsis.ac.jp>
          for reporting this.

        * ACE-INSTALL.html: updated Linux RedHat info.

Mon Jun 15 23:17:27 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile: added os-patches/ to distribution.

Mon Jun 15 23:07:45 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ACE version 4.5.12 released.

Mon Jun 15 13:58:17 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/config-chorus.h: replaced comment that said that the
          config is for CHORUS using MIT threads with comment that says
          that it uses the CHORUS POSIX threads interface.  Thanks to
          Leo Modica <lmodica@lucent.com> for questioning this, and Wei
          Chiang for confirming it.

        * os-patches/linux-patches.html: updated glibc info.  Thanks
          to Bob Scott <bob_scott@broder.com> for pointing out the
          glibc-2.0.7-7 is not available from sunsite.

Sat Jun 13 13:10:05 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp: moved explicit template instantiations
          inside ACE_HAS_XT, because the #includes are all inside
          ACE_HAS_XT also.

        * tests/XtReactor_Test.cpp: without ACE_HAS_XT, replaced
          ACE_ERROR_RETURN with ACE_ERROR.  This makes it consistent
          with other tests, and allows the following ACE_END_TEST
          statement to be reached.

        * tests/Process_Mutex_Test.cpp (main): specify full path to
          spawned children.  Removed Solaris/i386-specific code because
          it should no longer be needed now that the test is fixed by
          specifying the full path.  (acquire_release):  removed printout
          at top.

        * ACE+TAO.tgz,ACE.tgz,ACE-lib.tgz,FSU-threads.tgz: added these
          symlinks to their corresponding .tar.gz files.  Thanks to
          Gonzo and Darrell for suggesting this.

        * ace/RB_Tree.i (clear): removed extraneous ";" following the
          function definition.

        * ace/Process.cpp (spawn): added an ACE_DEBUG printout before each
          call to ACE_OS::exit ().

        * ace/Synch_T.cpp: removed the #pragma define_template for
          ACE_Condition<ACE_Mutex> on __osf__ with cxx.  It's no longer
          needed, and was causing multiply defined instantiations with
          cxx 6.1.

Fri Jun 12 17:04:14 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * ace/OS.h: Moved the #define's and typedef's (related to Proactor
        stuff, things like TRANSMIT_BUFFERS etc) under '#if defined
        (WIN32)' before OS.i. They were at the end of the file.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * bin/make_release: create .zip files in addition to .tar.gz files.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          Also updated the ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy to reflect these
          changes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.11 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

        * ace/Future.h:
        Two cosmetic changes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        end...

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

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

        * tests/Reactors_Test.cpp:
        Changed variable name tm to thr_mgr, to avoid conflicts with

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.10 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.9 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * tests/Timeprobe_Test.cpp: Added new test.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.8 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.7 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * Added Activation_Queue.i and Strategies.i.

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

          Activation_Queue.cpp Activation_Queue.h Dynamic.h Dynamic.i

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.6 released.

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

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

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

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

        * Makefile: added .PHONY for phony targets.

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

        * ACE version 4.5.5 released.

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

        * ACE version 4.5.4 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.3 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ace/Acceptor.cpp: Made CE friendly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * tests/Map_Manager_Test.cpp: Made CE friendly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.2 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * include/makeinclude/platform_sco5.0.0-fsu-pthread.GNU: Added a
          platform config file courtesy of Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ACE version 4.5.1 released.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          Walked thru all macros and indented them properly.

        * ace/README: Added documentation for ACE_LACKS_INLINE_FUNCTIONS.
