Wed Dec 31 23:29:59 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/nvlist.cpp (add_value_consume): Added a space between * and
          /* to avoid warning messages on NT.

Thu Jan 01 14:22:34 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.50, released Thu Jan 01 14:22:34 1998.

Thu Jan  1 13:31:55 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: An unwanted
        reference operator "&" was getting generated for sequences whose
        element types were not special managed types. This was because the
        case for handling the managed types somehow got mixed with the
        normal ccase. Thanks to Nanbor Wang (nw1@cs.wustl.edu) for
        pointing this out.

Wed Dec 31 18:29:57 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the way
        we use managed types. Instead of allocating an array, we now
        instantiate the
        managed type on the fly i.e., when the operator [] is invoked. The
        reasons for doing this are: (1) no need for dynamic memory
        allocation for maintaining the array of managers (2) It was
        causing all kinds of problems while decoding because the sizeof
        such sequence classes was bigger than those without managed
        types. However, due to this scheme, we can no longer define the []
        operator to return a reference because that would mean that a
        reference to a local variable/temporary will be returned. Hence
        changes were necessary in files.

        TypeCode generation was also erroneous. This is fixed. We were
        generating wrong encapsulation length.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: Indentation in typecode generation.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: nested_type_name - improved to
        eliminate one more strange error message getting generated by the
        MSVC++ compiler. Still needs testing.

        * TAO/tao/{invoke, decode}.cpp: Reversed the changes which were
        made to account for sequencese with managed types. We no longer
        need these changes because sequences with managed types no longer
        keep an extra data member. Thus the size of all sequences (top
        level) is the same (so is the layout).

        * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: commneted out unused variables, parameters.

        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Included tests for string sequences,
        variable sized structs as well as nested structs.

Tue Dec 30 13:46:44 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h (portnum_): Changed its data
          type from CORBA::ULong to CORBA::UShort to kill warning
          messages.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (create_list): Changed data type of the loop
          counter to CORBA::Long.  This caused a warning message on VC.

        * doc/releasenotes/index.html: Added documentation for adding IDL
          files into Visual C++'s projects.

        * tests/Param_Test/Param_Test.dsw:
        * tests/Param_Test/client.dsp:
        * tests/Param_Test/server.dsp: New workspace and projects were added.

Tue Dec 30 10:15:11 1997  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Event_Service/Fast_Reactor.h (ACE_ES_Fast_Reactor):
          Added the other version of handle_events to stop the compiler
          from being cranky.

Tue Dec 30 10:06:45 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation,
        be_state_attribute}.cpp - Unnecessary call on "init_mgr" for
        sequences that do not have any managed types was getting
        generated. This is fixed. In addition, MSVC++ compiler was
        producing an error saying "ambiguous assignment" when an "_out"
        variable was assigned to a pointer type. Solaris platform (CC and
        g++) did not give any such errors since they were (most probably)
        using the operator *() on the _out class, but MSVC++ did not.

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: The same "ambiguous
        assignment" error described above has been fixed here too.

        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added a method called "reset_parameters"
        so that we do not change the "in" parameter for every
        iteration. Previuosly we were settingthe in parameter differently
        for every new iteration. However, for performance comparison
        purposes, this was not correct (e.g., in the case of string
        sequences or unbounded strings where everytime we were sending a
        different lenght string and hence the performance numbers were
        different for each run and couldn't be compared.)

Mon Dec 29 21:51:38 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: get_name was returning a local
        variable. In addition, added generationof a method called
        "init_mgr" that must be used to initialize the sequence's
        underlying mgr_ vector.

        There was some problem with bounded/unbounded sequence code
        generation (an error  in an if stmt).

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_attribute,
        be_state_operation}.cpp - added code to generate the call to
        init_mgr for sequences after the do_call is made.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h : gen_name returns char* rather
        than const char* because we now allocate a new string and return
        it.

        * TAO/tao/Makefile: applied make depend to incorporate nvlist.i

        * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Added a "boolean release" field to
        CORBA_SEQUNECE so that its layout is similar to the generated code
        for sequences.

        * TAO/tao/decode.cpp: In sequence decode, we also set the release
        flag to 1. In addition, for sequences of strings and objrefs, we
        zero out additional 4 bytes that are used to store a pointer to
        the manager array.

        * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: some indentation. Also passed the correct
        parameter to string/wstring::decode

        * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: In do_dynamic_call, for sequences of strings
        (inclusing typedefed sequences of strings that themselves can be
        typedefed), we must allocate size+4 bytes for demarshaling the
        sequences. The extra 4 bytes are for the manager array pointer.

        * TAO/tao/nvlist.cpp: I the method item, the loop should have run
        from o to max_ rather than upto len_.

        * TAO/tao/orbobj.cpp: Used placement new of NamedValue in the
        create_list method.

        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Added new tests for Fixed_Struct and
        string sequence. Added a README file.

        * TAO/doc/releasenotes/index.html: updated with latest success stories.

Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.49, released Thu Dec 25 20:36:58 1997.

Thu Dec 25 18:43:03 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_attribute, be_state_argument}.cpp: Handled
        teh remaining cases (except Arrays) that use the newly added
        methiods to class NVList. The Param_Test test suite is being
        developed to track any memory leaks.

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:  Used sequence_var in
        the cube_sequence function to avoid memory leaks. However, there
        still are leaks.

Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.48, released Wed Dec 24 18:44:47 1997.

Wed Dec 24 18:44:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao: Added the nvlist.i file to the tao/ directory.

Wed Dec 24 18:11:08 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_state_argument}.cpp: Added
        "argument_count" method to be_operation which is helpful in
        creating an NVList of the appropriate size. Previously we were
        creating an empty list and adding parameters one by one. This was
        causing a lot of reallocations which were wasteful.

        At this time, we have code base that can successfully send/receive
        primitive data types as well as strings.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_operation.h : Added a new method called
        "argument_count" to give us the total number of parameters we
        have.

        * TAO/tao/{any.cpp, connect.cpp, corbacom.i, decode.cpp,
        iioporb.cpp, marshal.i, objtable.cpp, optable.cpp, request.cpp}:
        In all these files, after a call to CORBA::string_free, we made
        the pointer point to 0. Otherwise, purify was giving us "Free
        Memory read" errors. Also, this was (by fluke) causing some
        applications to run successfully.

        * TAO/tao/{nvlist.h, nvlist.cpp, nvlist.i, corba.h}: Added
        unimplemented methods to NamedValue and NVList. Created a nvlist.i
        file and updated corba.h

        * TAO/tao/corbacom.cpp: In an assignment operator for Sting_out,
        we were not checking if the assignment was from ourselves. Also a
        array was incorrectly being deleted as "delete ..." rather than
        "delete [] ...".

        * TAO/tao/invoke.cpp: Inside do_call, we were not deleting memory
        for the "in" part of the inout parameters. Right now we have fixed
        this problem only for strings. Others will be added as new tests
        are built. Do_dynamic_call also needs such a fix. NOT DONE in this release.

        * TAO/tao/orb_core.h, orb_core.cpp: ORB_init takes "const char*"
        orb name as the argument instead of just char*.

        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: Successful in testing
        "test_unbounded_string". removed a few memory leaks where we were
        not deleting the client objects.

Tue Dec 23 13:36:50 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_sequence.cpp: ACE_NESTED_CLASS must be
        generated for seq elements that are scoped. We were generating
        this macor only when seq elements were typedefs. However, seq
        elements can also be structs or any other types that have an
        enclosing scope. Thanks to Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> for
        the bug report.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Similar problem as above for
        return types of operations.  Bug reported by Chris Gill.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp: Whenever a _narrow fails, we were
        trying to do a ACE_dynamic_cast to a 0. Instead, we now return a
        0. Again thanks to Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> for
        the bug report.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: We were ot generating a char
        *& for inout string parameters. Instead only a char * was getting
        generated. Fixed.

        * tao/corba.h:
        * tao/except.cpp:
        * tao/except.h:

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
          Cleaned up some exceptions definitions.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Event_Latency/Makefile:
          Since the schedule is not distributed (yet) by default we
          compile the config run, hopefully this will cause less
          confusion.

Sun Dec 21 18:30:41 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: The macro used in the #if !defined
        (..) clause in the header files was incorrectly generated when IDL
        file names had characters other than letters in it. Fixed.

        * TAO/tests/Param_Test: A new test suite to test all the parameter
        passing modes - return, in, inout, and out for a large number of
        IDL data types. The purpose of this test suite is to verify the
        correctness of the stubs/skeletons generated by TAO IDL compiler,
        eliminate any existing errors in the marshaling engine, track down
        any memory leaks, and finally to measure the performance and fine
        tune the code if required. In the first version of the test, we
        only test "shorts". We will be adding other tests as soon as we
        can.

Thu Dec 18 15:06:23 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>
        Thanks to Keith Nicewarner <knicewar@sanders.com>, Tom Richards
        <tomr@mcmenterprise.com>, and Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>
        for reporting bugs which led to  some of the changes below.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp: Preliminary support for arrays. Not
        complete.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation, be_attribute}.cpp: The ParamData
        structure *must* hold the "size" of the outermost level of the
        return values and out parameters because the ORB has to allocate
        memory for it and hence needs to know the size. We had a 0 in it
        which crashed any return types that were variable in size.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a new state for
        unions. Corresponding change to the *.h file.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Added a method called "scope" that
        returns the corresponding scope defined by this node (if one
        exists). Added method to the *.h file also.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Added a method called "decl" that
        returns the be_decl method corresponding to this scope. The header
        file was also updated.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception, be_state_exception}.cpp: I was making
        the most stupid mistake of generating constructors per member
        rather than one constructor that takes all the members as a
        parameter.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence}.cpp: Changed the
        naming scheme for anonymous sequences to avoid code bloat.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added template instantiation for
        additional state to deal with code generation of members of
        unions.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp: Made some changes so that
        spurious code for array members doesn't get generated.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union, be_state_union}.cpp: Added a new state
        because we were not generating code for union members that were
        sequences or structs.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Modified netsed_type_name to use the new
        methods on class be_decl/be_scope.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_union_branch.cpp: gen_client_stubs uses the same
        strategy as the other gen_client methods.

        * TAO/tao/deep_free.cpp: In deep_free of structures, instead of
        passing the address of a string member to be freed, we were simply
        passing the string that led to a segmentation fault. A careful
        code review is necessary.

        * TAO/tao/orb_core.cpp: Made "use_ior" as default as ooposed to
        using the URL based scheme for IORs. This was necessary to have
        interoperability with other ORBs.

        * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: The server request was being released
        immediately after returning from the dispatch method. This should
        be done after all return/inout/out parameters are marshaled.

Tue Dec 17 12:53:01 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/encode.cpp: Additional changes for wchar's

Tue Dec 17 10:37:45 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed obsolete files from the VC++ project.
          Changed name of folder from Include Files to Inline Files.
          Inserted new header files for classview.

        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added missing be_state_exception.cpp to the
          the project to eliminate link error.

        * tao/corbacom.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar
          problems with VxWOrks and GHS.

        * tao/encode.cpp: Inserted wslen and wscpy back to handle wchar
          problems with VxWOrks and GHS.

Tue Dec 16 18:29:42 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/README:
        * docs/orbsvcs.html:
          Started up the documentation for TAO services, at this point
          only the directory hierarchy is explained.

Tue Dec 16 08:49:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h: Added three more states for
        return types to be generated for operator [] of sequences of
        strings and object references.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_sequence.h: Added enum constants to
        indicate what kind of managed type is handled by the sequence. For
        sequences other than that of strings and objrefs, this enum const
        is MNG_NONE. Added a new method that returns the managed type.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_sequence, be_state_sequence.cpp}: Added code to
        generate sequences of strings and objrefs. This requires
        generating special "managed" objects. In addition, for
        be_state_sequence.cpp, we were not handling the case where base
        types of sequences were not having any scope which resulted in
        segmentation faults.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_argument, be_state_operation}.cpp: Some
        small bugs fixed. These included lack of a whitespace in the
        generated code as well as spurious extra level of indirection
        getting generated.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: "nested_type_name" now checks if the
        scope with which are comparing is NUL or not before proceeding
        further. Such a situation may arise for sequences whose base types
        are anonymous (e.g., strings) and have no enclosing scope.

        * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,cpp,i}: Removed. No more needed as teh
        code is generated by the IDL compiler. Accordingly modified
        corb.h and did a "make depend" on the Makefile.

        * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to reflect new changes
        as well as TO-DO stuff such as adding support for TIEs.

Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.43, released Mon Dec 15 22:31:50 1997.

Mon Dec 15 19:13:51 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Timeprobe.cpp:
          Removed Solaris specific code, somehow it survived from some
          debugging session. Thanks to Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for pointing out this bug.

Mon Dec 15 16:52:58 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO-INSTALL.html: Added some explanations for setting CPP_PATH
          on NT.

Mon Dec 15 16:49:58 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (cube_sequence): declare
          local variables "l" and "j" as u_int instead of int, to avoid
          signed/unsigned comparison.

Thu Dec 11 16:44:26 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp:
          Fixed typo missed on the previous release.

Thu Dec 11 22:18:52 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Moved the code generation for the
        _var and _out classes before the actual class declaration, but
        after the forward declaration. This was necessary if any elements
        in the scope of the interface are defined to be of the same type
        as that interface. In such a situation those elements are defined
        to be of the _var type. Hence the declaration for _var and _out
        must precede the class declaration.

Thu Dec 11 22:00:52 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/Naming_Service.cpp (main): Fixed a bug
        related to returning an empty string as the ior in the reply from
        the multicast request.

Thu Dec 11 14:06:50 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_exception,be_state_exception}.cpp: Support for
        exceptions added. Added a new file called
        "be_state_exception.cpp".

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_state.h: Added a new singleton for
        be_state_exception.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Template instantiations for
        be_state_exception.

        * TAO/docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated to include exception
        support.

        * TAO/tao/except.{h,cpp}: Moved the TypeCode member from the
        private section to the protected section so that derived classes
        can set it. Also, changed the variable from _type to type_ to
        stick to the ACE design standards.

Thu Dec 11 00:01:41 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.42, released Thu Dec 11 00:01:41 1997.

Wed Dec 10 23:04:04 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service/Config_Scheduler.cpp:
          Still struggling with g++, it seems to use the wrong cast for
          IDL generated T_out classes.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.h:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp:
          These files were missed in the orbsvcs hierarchy
          reorganization.

Wed Dec 10 22:38:08 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit: Fixed the  hand-crafted code to
        make use of the many changes that were made to the dispatching
        scheme as well as changes made to the signature of the skeletons
        for operations of interfaces.

Wed Dec 10 21:41:48 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated the release notes on the
        Naming Service.

Wed Dec 10 20:13:57 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile:
          Added orbsvcs to the hierarchy.

        * The orbsvcs directory was completely reorganized, in preparation
          for its official release. The new hierarchy is:
          - orbsvcs/orbsvcs: Contains a library with:
            + The client stubs for the services.
            + Common utility classes to access the services.
            + The server skeletons, but not their implementation.
          - orbsvcs/Naming_Service: the COSS Naming Service.
          - orbsvcs/Scheduling_Service: TAO Real-Time Scheduling Service.
          - orbsvcs/Event_Service: TAO Real-Time Event Service.
          - orbsvcs/tests: test programs and examples.

        * docs/releasenotes/index.html:
          Updated documentation on the Event Service and its friends.

Wed Dec 10 19:57:07 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_i::cube_sequence):
        Changed to explicitly use the vector_out::ptr() method to get a
        ptr.  It seems that g++ wanted to interpret this expression
        (output == 0) differently from Sun's C++, and this made both
        interpret it in the desired way.

Wed Dec 10 14:23:24 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp:
          Fixed a bug when handling typedefs.
          It was generating code for imported types, we protected the
          generation with a !imported(), thank to Andy Gokhale
          <gokhale@cs.wustl.edu> for helping me on this.

        * tao/connect.cpp:
          Set the TCP_NODELAY option by default, otherwise oneway calls
          are considerably slower.  It should have no effect for twoway
          calls.  Anyway an option should be added to control this
          behavior.

Wed Dec 10 13:15:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/{be_array, be_decl, be_field, be_module,
        be_operation, be_predefined_type, be_structure, be_typedef}.h:
        Added a protected function called "compute_size_type" which is
        invoked if the size type of a data structure is not known in
        advance. This happens for structs, unions, arrays, and typedefs
        whose size type depends on their base types.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_array, be_decl, be_field, be_module,
        be_operation, be_predefined_type, be_structure, be_typedef}.cpp:
        Implementation of the "compute_size_type".

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp: Changed code that sets "size_type" so
        that we first see if we are unknown in which case we set our size
        type. However, once we are VARIABLE, no body can reset us to
        fixed. Similarly, the overloaded size_type method that return the
        size type first checks if our size is still unknown in which case
        it calls for "compute_size_type". This is very essential for data
        types defined in an imported (included) *.idl file. Thanks to Tom
        Richards (tomr@mcmenterprise.com) for reporting the bug with
        included file which resulted in this change.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_attribute.cpp: Included a case for
        IN_PARAM_TYPE_CH for strings (had previously forgotten to do so).

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state_structure, be_structure, be_field}.cpp:
        Revamped so that we use the same switch based technique in
        be_state_structure.cpp to generate code. For fields that are
        sequences or structures or unions, we also generate their code.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Thanks to Tom Richards and
        Carlos O'Ryan for noticing a bug when we use out sequences. There
        used to be a seg fault in deep_free.cpp because a NUL pointer was
        being owned by an Any and getting freed. In the server skeleton,
        for out params we now generate code after the upcall is made so
        that for out parameter value is inserted in the NVList that is
        marshaled by the server.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: In the generated call to _is_a, we
        were calling CORBA::Object::_is_a if a remote call is
        necessary. However, MSVC++ cannot handle a call of the form
        CORBA::Object::_is_a. So we have to generate code that uses
        ACE_CORBA_3 so as to be portable. Thanks to Nanbor Wang
        (nw1@cs.wustl.edu).

        * TAO/test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed the type of the
        variable that was passed as the out parameter to cube_sequence.

Wed Dec 10 01:02:36 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (set): Added a special case to IIOP Profile::set
        so that if the address is INADDR_ANY, it uses the host name, but
        otherwise uses the IP address.  This eliminates the cryptic
        appearance of the address "0.0.0.0" in a server's IOR.

Tue Dec  9 21:48:52 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
          The sequence test is not running right now, I'm commenting it
          out until we can make it work properly.

Tue Dec  9 18:02:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orb_core.cpp: The moral of this changelog entry is to be
        VERY careful when cutting and pasting code...the
        resource_factory() accessor should not be setting the
        client_factory_ member at all!

Tue Dec  9 11:55:50 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added NOERROR as #define if we're not on
        WIN32 so that IDL-generated code would continue to work.

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Changed faked Resource Factory resource
        source specifier to "tss" rather than "global".

        * tao/orb_core.*: Added resource_factory() accessor to
        TAO_ORB_Core.  This will create a default instance if it can't
        locate one in the Service Repository, which will allow
        applications to not encounter a hard failure when a svc.conf file
        is missing.  A warning message is emitted stating that a default
        is being used.  Applications should not rely on the default
        settings, as it is very likely that the applicat might require
        alternate settings for proper desired operation.

        * tao/default_server.*: Added TAO_Reactive_Strategy template
        class to use in place of the ACE_Reactive_Strategy.  It's only
        difference from ACE_Reactive_Strategy is that instead of using the
        reactor provided in the open method, it always uses that found
        through the TAO_ORB_Core_instance().  This fix was motivated by a
        general problem which was only observable on VxWorks with a
        special pseudo-network transport.

        * tao/connect.cpp: Added code to fail gracefully if socket buffer
        size changes are not supported.

Mon Dec  8 13:11:46 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes/index.html:
          Added more information on how the Event Channel and friends are
          going.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svc.conf:
          Removed some foreign ^M from the file.

        * tao/Makefile:
        * tao/connect.cpp:

        * tao/Timeprobe.i:
        * tao/Timeprobe.h:
        * tao/Timeprobe.cpp:
          Added a instrumentation class to measure time interval, also
          instrumented some code, as part of the ongoing effort to
          optimize the EC, unfortunately the problems are not in TAO ;-)
          The code is only instrumented if compiled using probe=1, no
          overhead is introduced in normal compiles.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h:
          Addded code to test sequences (as input and output parameters)
          they don't work (yet).

        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp:
          The file was moved toTAO_ROOT/tao.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
          Fixed default dump file, it was using stdout!

Sat Dec 06 15:42:25 1997    <nw1@DINGO>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{server,client}.dsp: Updated link time

        * tao/compat/objbase.h: Removed dependencies on Microsoft's DCOM
          files.  Below is a list of names that got changed.

            HRESULT -> TAO_HRESULT
            IID -> TAO_IID
            IUnknown -> TAO_IUnknown
            IID_IUnknown -> IID_TAO_IUnknown

            DATE -> TAO_DATE

Fri Dec  5 11:42:25 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (set): Changed the IIOP::Profile::set() methods
        which take an ACE_INET_Addr to retrieve the host IP address rather
        than host name for storage in the profile.  This is motivated by
        the following situation: machine has 3 interfaces (not including
        loopback), and it is desired that clients and servers communicate
        across only one interface.

        When our IDL_Cubit example's factory created new Cubit instances,
        the set() method would set the host name for that IIOP::Profile to
        whatever ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name() returned.  In this case,
        the IP addr for interface 3 (which is not the primary interface)
        would return a *LIST* of names in which the first name was that of
        the primary interface.  Thus, the IP address used by the client
        would be wrong.

        * tao/object.h: Minor corrections to header comments.

        * tao/{orb_core,orbobj}.{h,cpp}: Moved server_factory and
        client_factory ptr storage from CORBA_ORB to TAO_ORB_Core.  It
        really didn't belong there in the first place.

        * tao/poa.cpp: CTOR now fetches server factory ptr from the
        TAO_ORB_Core rather than from the ORB.

Thu Dec  4 18:20:55 1997  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Changed hard coded path for cl.exe to CPP_PATH
          environment variable

Thu Dec  4 11:23:55 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/include/{idl,ast,utl_idlist, utl_identifier}.h: removed
        #include "ace/stdcpp.h" since this file was removed from
        ACE. Instead we now include "ace/streams.h" in idl.h

        Also made make depend on all the Makefiles.

Wed Dec  3 16:08:34 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
          Added some more time-stamps to the events to track and measure
          the delays as they move on the EC.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp:

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.i:
          Thanks to Andy Gokhale efforst the IDL compiler is able to emit
          proper code for the EC&friends, hence I'm removing the
          hand-crafted files.

Wed Dec  3 11:12:48 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Had forgotten to emit code that
        adds one more cast to the base POA_* class in the generated *S.i
        file.

Wed Dec 03 09:40:36 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Makefile: added TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP to
          CPPFLAGS on CHORUS.  Thanks to Wei Chiang for this change.

Tue Dec  2 15:47:09 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.h: Added some helper methods to generate
        additional code in the form of larger operation tables, and
        skeletons. This situation arises when we have single/multiple
        inheritance of interfaces.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be.h: Included ace/Containers.h for the
        ACE_Unbounded_Queue that uses the breadth-first strategy used in
        be_interface.cpp

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface,be_operation,be_attribute}.cpp: Added code
        to generate a new "virtual void dispatch" method on the skeleton
        classes. The dispatch method enables us to access the most derived
        type when invoking the skeleton for a method. The skeletons
        instead of taking a CORBA::Object_ptr, now take void*. The
        skeletons themselves cast this void* to the appropriate POA_*
        type.

        In addition to the above, for the case of inheritance of
        interfaces, it is not appropriate to pass a pointer to the most
        derived class as a void* to the skeleton of a base class and cast
        that to the POA_* of the base class. So we generate inlined code
        for skeletons of methods in the most derived class even if those
        methods were defined in the base classes. These inlined skeletons
        simply cast the object pointer to the right type and invoke the
        corresponding skeleton of the base class method.

        be_interface.cpp defines a template method to traverse the entire
        inheritance graph. This traversal is done using a breadth-first
        traversal. This traverse method takes a pointer to one of the
        static helper methods defined on class be_interface. Each helper
        achieves a different purpose such as generation of extended
        operation tables, providing comparisons of repositoryIDs of base
        classes in the _is_a methods of derived classes.

        The client-side class now defines a virtual CORBA::Boolean _is_a
        method. This uses local knowledge of repository ids thereby
        preventing the expensive remote call in most cases. All changes
        made in be_interface.cpp

        * TAO/tao/corbacom.h: Changed the signature of TAO_Skeleton so that
        it uses void*obj and a void *context.

        * TAO/tao/object.h: Added a virtual dispatch method as explained
        above.

        * TAO/tao/orb.h: Redefinition of TAO_Skeleton removed.

        * TAO/tao/poa.cpp: Changed the demultiplexing code to reflect the
        change made with the dispatch method. The poa on finding the right
        object corresponding to the key, now invokes the dispatch method
        on that object which by dynamic binding invokes the dispatch
        method of the POA_* class.

Tue Dec 02 15:29:41 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tao/{connect,orb_core}.h: Moved Win32 specific template
          specialization declaration from connect.h to orb_core.h because
          the definition had moved to orb_core.i.

        * tao/object.cpp: Removed conditional directives around
          DEFINE_GUID for IID_IUnknown.  This is now defined for Win32
          also.

        * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed macro definition __IIOP_BUILD.  It was not
          used anywhere.

Tue Dec  2 10:25:47 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/corba.h:
          Fixed some problems with the ACE_RETHROW macros.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Timeprobe.cpp:
          Added a high resolution timer facility, to measure the delays in
          the Event Channel and in its client.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
          Changed the time_ field of Event to a double. It should be an
          structure or a long long, but double is big enough to store

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h:
          Regenerated the files using the newest IDL compiler; still some
          hand crafting due to inherited classes.

Tue Dec  2 03:12:50 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Check for errors when
        resolving using the "NameService" environment variable.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (NS_NamingContext):
        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.h (NS_NamingContext):
        - Added constructor that takes a key to initialize the object,
        instead of using the default name generation.
        - Enabled some exceptions that are already supported.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (main): Create first naming
        context with key "NamingContext".  And minor changes.

        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/Makefile:

        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h:
        * tests/Cubit/CORBAplus/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp: Ported the IDL cubit
        example to CORBAplus.  Currently, the calls using DII are not
        ported, so only the "cube average" and the "cube_union_stub" stats
        are printed.

Mon Dec  1 16:51:08 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/except.{h,cpp}: Changed semantics of CORBA::Exception so
        that the mere creation of them does not take a reference.
        Instead, the user of the exception is expected to call AddRef().
        CORBA::Environment has been modified (and even documented!) to
        reflect that as well.

Sun Nov 30 17:08:56 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
          Added missed parameter in do_call() for
          RtecScheduler::Scheduler::set().

Sat Nov 29 13:34:58 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/stub.i (STUB_Object):
          No need to release type_id, since it is a String_var now. Thanks
          to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for pointing this out.

        * giop.cpp:
          If things go wrong TAO_GIOP::send_request will close the
          handler and set it to zero, but only a temporary was
          affected, I decided to set the original value to zero also;
          based on the return value.

Wed Nov 26 23:24:57 1997    <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.41, released Wed Nov 26 23:24:57 1997.

Wed Nov 26 16:40:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed release calls to use
        the CORBA standard version rather than the non-standard TAO
        Release() method.  Also moved the client's parse_args() AFTER the
        ORB_init() so that -ORB parameters were parsed correctly.

        * tao/params.*: Added storage for send and receive socket buffer
        size to be used for all newly created sockets.  These sizes are
        initialized to ACE_DEFAULT_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZ, and can be changed
        by the user by using -ORBsndsock and -ORBrcvsock.

        * tao/orbobj.h: Added documentation.

        * tao/orb_core.i: Changed system-specific conditional compilation
        to use the more general ACE_LACKS_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Added code to make -ORBsndsock and -ORBrcvsock
        options actually work.  Added -ORBpreconnect option to implement
        pre-cached connections.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Removed the old static inline version of
        start_message().  Also changed to use send_n() to guarantee
        correct blocking nature on Win32 with the WFMO Reactor.

        * tao/connect.cpp: Changed set_option() calls to use the socket
        buffer sizes stored in the TAO_ORB_Parameters instance.  Also
        added a correct environment-clearing call before initializing a
        request.

        * tao/client_factory.h: Removed extraneous code.

        * tao/{connect,any,giop,iiopobj,marshal,nvlist,objtable,optable,
               orb_core,poa,principa,stub,svrrqst,typecode}.h:
        Addressed or assigned some '@@' comments.

        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Added information regarding new
        options, known bugs, etc.

        * docs/Options.html: Added documentation for new -ORBpreconnect
        option.

        * TAO_IDL/be/Makefile: Added an explicit PIC=-fPIC for when g++ is
        being used as the compiler.  This fixes the linker complaints.

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

        * All MSVC 5.0 project files: Removed unnecessary library
          inclusions.  Most of them are not necessary.

Tue Nov 25 20:49:24 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.h:
        * tao/orbobj.cpp:
        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
        * tao/params.h:
        * tao/params.cpp:
          Removed the parameters to specify the event service and schedule
          service IOR, the naming service is working now so it can be
          used. And the support in "resolve_initial_references".

        * tao/corbacom.i:
        * tao/decode.cpp:
          Reverted the previous change, but this time added proper
          comments: the spec says that a Naming_var taking a <char*> is
          *not* supposed to copy it. Hence the ObjRef decoder cannot
          release the string it just read.

Mon Nov 24 20:40:47 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/corbacom.i:
          Fixed string allocation problem for String_var(char*): if it
          does not copy the string we run into problems with the
          demarshalling code.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h:
          Removed the unused forward_event parameter in the ConsumerQoS.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i:
          Hand crafted the T_out constructors to take a "const T_out&"
          instead of just "T_out&".

Sat Nov 22 18:21:10 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h, be/be_codegen.cpp: Added a
        number of states to handle attributes

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_attribute,be_state_attribute}.cpp: Code added to
        handle attributes. This code is a mix of code that is used to
        handle operations as well as arguments because for attributes we
        have 2 methods, one to set the value and one which returns the
        value. For a readonly attribute, there is only the get method.

        A special note: Due to the large switch statement, I had to use
        -fPIC for g++. We are working on abstracting all the commin
        functionality once we have the basic IDL compiler working.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Operation table now also includes
        methods to set and get the attributes if they are present. In
        addition, the variable name for the operation tables is now the
        full flattened name to avoid conflicts.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: In the length method, the index of
        lookp variable "i" is changed from "int" to CORBA::ULong as g++
        was issuing a warning.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp, be_state_argument,cpp: Proper handling
        of in, inout, and out strings that are either anonymous or are
        typedefed.

Fri Nov 21 13:22:39 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.40, released Fri Nov 21 13:22:39 1997.

Thu Nov 20 10:31:24 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Made sure this is defined
        properly for Chorus.  Thanks to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi>
        for submitting these!

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Added some changes for Chorus.  Thanks
        to Wei Chiang <chiang@tele.nokia.fi> for submitting these!

        * tao/object.cpp (_is_a): Explicitly specify which conversion
        operator to use when comparing type_id to 0.

Thu Nov 20 00:10:52 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.h :
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (Logger_Client): Fixed a bug
        dealing with using "_bind" when the naming service is not
        available.

Thu Nov 20 00:06:03 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.39, released Thu Nov 20 00:06:03 1997.

Thu Nov 20 00:01:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Makefile: Reordered the files so they are built in
        alphabetic order (within each grouping of targets).  This makes it
        easier to see how the compilation process is doing ;-).

Wed Nov 19 22:59:18 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Minor change to output
        debug statement.

Wed Nov 19 23:01:46 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp: Fixed the problem with
        strings as return values.  Thanks to Mark L Boriack
        <mark@vtcibm4a> for reporting this.

Wed Nov 19 20:48:01 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: Commented out some unreachable
          code at the bottom of main.

Wed Nov 19 19:04:53 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/decode.cpp (decode): Added a cast so that compiler would
        know which operator to call.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (handle_input): Change port
        number received to host byte order.  Minor changes.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Send port number in
        network byte order.

Wed Nov 19 17:45:52 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Put in proper release of
        resources after _narrow operation.

        * tao/stub.h: Used CORBA::String_var as the underlying type for
        'type_id' in STUB_Object.  In the long run this may be a bad idea
        for performance considerations, but we may be able to improve that
        by improving the implementation of String_var.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Removed unreachable ACE_NOTSUP_RETURN.

        * tao/decode.cpp: Made allocation and free semantics of
        'type_hint' consistent with its type of CORBA::String.

Wed Nov 19 17:33:42 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Task_Client.cpp: Fixed error_count.. Thanks to James Hu.

Wed Nov 19 17:20:45 1997  James C Hu  <jxh@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Removed an unreachable return
          statement.  There was already a return above it.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp: Added casts to comparisons of
          char variables to 0, since chars are unsigned by default in
          SGI.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: Removed a
          couple of unreachable return statements.  There are still
          unreachable statements remaining.  Need help with them.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
          Meaningless type qualifier (const ...) removed.

          Some functions were returning `retval' before it was set.  I had
          these functions return a passed in paramenter instead.

Wed Nov 19 13:50:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.38, released Wed Nov 19 13:50:36 1997.

Wed Nov 19 13:11:53 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp (dump_schedule): changed loop
          index from int to u_int to avoid signed/unsigned comparison.
          (use_runtime): return 0.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp (debug): changed loop
          index from int to u_int to avoid signed/unsigned comparison.

Wed Nov 19 12:22:50 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Reverted some of the
        minor changes below, specifically the use of ACE_ERROR_RETURN
        rather than ACE_ERROR/return.  ACE_ERROR_RETURN cannot be used
        as-is because the 2nd parameter is used as an 'int' to specify the
        operational status, and the return value of this function is NOT
        an int.  Also had to add a missing semi-colon which caused none of
        the code to compile.

Wed Nov 19 12:07:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.37, released Wed Nov 19 12:07:42 1997.

Wed Nov 19 10:37:19 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
          The type declared for the rt_info array was wrong.

Wed Nov 19 09:18:30 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.36, released Wed Nov 19 09:18:30 1997.

Wed Nov 19 09:15:15 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Made a bunch of minor
          Changes for resolving the Naming service.

Wed Nov 19 08:44:12 1997  Brian Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/default.bld:

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/clnt.bld:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/svr.bld:  Added build files in the new
          test structure for VxWorks using the GHS compiler.

        * tests/Cubit/Build: Removed the obsolete build directory for vxWorks.

Wed Nov 19 07:47:13 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.35, released Wed Nov 19 07:47:13 1997.

Wed Nov 19 05:53:42 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: Changed code to add loop
        around all cube calls, and make output more consistent.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/ior_multicast.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/ior_multicast.h: Removed unneeded
        ior_multicast.* source files from the logger example.  It now uses
        the resolve_initial_references() to use the naming service for its
        advertisement.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile (realclean): Updated with realclean & clean
        rules to delete CosNamingS.* and CosNamingC.*

        * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated status of the naming
        service to working implementation.

        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h: Removed these files from the
        repository, since the IDL compiler generates these correctly.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp (list): Remove
        warning for unused variable.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.h: Constructor of event handler
        for multicast doesn't need reply port anymore.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (handle_input): Now receives
        the port number in the multicast request.  Suggested by Doug
        Schmidt.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): changed return value
        variable to be signed.  Added code to send the port number in the
        multicast resolution mechanism as a CORBA::Short.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/NS_CosNaming.cpp (NS_ExtId):
        Reordered initializers in the constructor.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (run): Added a loop around
        all cube calls and added calls/sec stats for them.

        * tao/corba.h: Changed order of inclusion of marshal.i, due to
        warnings of the declaration of the inline function
        make_marshal_object().

        * tao/orbobj.i: reorder the declaration of inline
        CORBA_OBJ::Add_Ref(), to remove a warning.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main):
        removed return statement that was causing a warning.

Wed Nov 19 04:22:48 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.34, released Wed Nov 19 04:22:48 1997.

Tue Nov 18 01:29:00 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * tao/TAO.dsp:  Added Arg_Shifter.cpp into project file.

Tue Nov 18 18:53:57 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/include/ast_predefined_type.h (AST_PredefinedType::pt):
        removed const from declarations that it didn't have a meaning for.
        Also from return statements.  These changes were suggested by
        James Hu and the SGI compiler.

Tue Nov 18 18:34:16 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/COOL/client.cpp: ORB_init is now called in
        Task_Client.cpp instead of the main program, to insure that its
        called in the right thread.

        * tests/Cubit/COOL/Task_Client.{h,cpp}: Used the COOL_Activity to
        create threads instead of ACE_Task.

        * tests/Cubit/COOL/server.cpp: Used the createActivity stuff to
        create threads.  The server now creates two servants, one for high
        and the other for low priority clients.

Tue Nov 18 17:44:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/corbacom.h: Added special case for CORBA::WChar to be a
        short on VxWorks/GreenHills.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added template instantiations for SGI.

        * tao/deep_free.cpp (deep_free): Removed unused 'alignment'
        variable.

        * tao/deep_copy.cpp (deep_copy): Removed unused 'alignment'
        variable.

        * tao/encode.cpp (encode): Removed unused 'continue_encoding'
        variable.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (POA_init): Removed options which were no longer
        supported/necessary, as well as their corresponding variables.

Tue Nov 18 17:33:20 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
          Changed several operations to "oneway" to avoid dead-locks in
          the Event Channel tests.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp:
          This class is a servant, event though it is only used
          collocated, so it must inherit from the POA class.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
          Care must be exercised to create the Runtime_Scheduler instance
          only once the ORB is up and running.

        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.h:
          Regenerated all the stubs and skeletons using the latest IDL
          compiler, but still some hand crafting is required, namely for
          operations in base classes.

Tue Nov 18 14:27:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/cdr.cpp (CDR): Changed TAO_PURIFY to ACE_PURIFY.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/serdatever/svr.cpp: Added code to put use a
        kinder, gentler high priority value on VxWorks.  This makes it
        easier for the machine to remain running. :-\

        * tao/corbacom.h: Added CVS id keyword.

        * tao/{corba.h,tao_internals.h,tao_internals.cpp}: Backed out
        tao_internals.h, which is not intended to be publicly visible.
        corba.h should contain only headers/inlines for things which
        should be externally visible.

Tue Nov 18 04:00:46 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/poa.cpp:
          An operation lookup on the dispatching code will cause an error
          message and the CORBA::BAD_OPERATION exception to be raised.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
          Somehow the options for setting the Event Service and the
          Scheduling Service IOR were lost. Eventually they must be
          removed, but we are still testing the Naming Service.

Tue Nov 18 02:17:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.33, released Tue Nov 18 02:17:24 1997.

Tue Nov 18 02:03:22 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp: This test example now uses the
        naming service in the server and client.  Also changed the code to
        have a default use in case the naming service is not available.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Fixed a bug, dealing with
        closing the endpoint of communication for the response of the
        multicast mechanism.

Tue Nov 18 01:37:42 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation.cpp,be_state_operation}.cpp: We now
        properly handle the declaration and assigning to the return value.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: Removed a spurious ()
        appearing after a function call.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_structure,be_union}.cpp: Carlos had removed the
        if !imported check in the member counting function, but it had
        crept in again, maybe due to me. So this is fixed again.

        * test/Cubit/TAO/IDL/svr.cpp: Removed the hack which was
        separating command line arguments starting with O. We leave this
        task to the newly added Arg_Shifter.

        * tao.orbobj.cpp: In ORB_init, the call to
        TAO_ORb_Core_instance->init needed a char ** argv and we were
        passing a char * const* argv. So we cast this. g++ was giving this
        error.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h, TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp:
        Added 5 new states for code generation. All of these for
        operations and arguments.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_argument.cpp: Made all methods uniform so that the
        state will be set by the corresponding be_operation method. Thus
        the be_operation method will vary the state but still invoke the
        same be_argument method.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp, be_structure.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_field.cpp,
        be_sequence.cpp: Some reformatting, removed unused variables.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp: Changes include adding ACE_ERROR_RETURN
        with file name, line number capability. In addition, we were not
        testing for return status of the various gen methods called.

        * Most important changes in these files:

        TAO_IDL/be/{be_operation,be_state_argument,be_state_operation}.cpp:

        Large scale changes that include a uniform way to invoke methods
        of the be_argument class from the be_operation methods. Added the
        5 new states. Added proper handling of _out parameters in stubs
        and skeletons.

Mon Nov 17 20:05:40 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Cleaned up lots of places
        where the allocated stuff wasn't being deallocated.

        * tao/request.cpp: Insured that the CTOR adds a reference for the
        dynamically-allocated NamedValue.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Freed the faked service configurator argv.

        * tao/iiopobj.h: Removed anachronistic comments.

        * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: Changed allocation of IIOP::Profile.host to use
        new/delete rather than strdup/free b/c the decoder, which is
        generic, must use new to allocate the space.  Thus, the strdup had
        to go.  Purify now happier.

        * tao/cdr.cpp: Added call to memset bracketed by #if
        defined(TAO_PURIFY) in order to appease the purify gods.

Mon Nov 17 20:05:16 1997  Seth Benjamin Widoff  <sbw1@waltz.cs.wustl.edu>

        * arg_shifter.cpp:
        fixed a bug where in new, gcc used the address of an integer
        reference rather than its value. weird.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
          Modified the init routine to "consume" command line arguments it
          recognizes by placing them in the rear of argv, and adjusting
          argc. It uses the Arg_Shifter class to accomplish this.

        * tao/arg_shifter.h:
        * tao/arg_shifter.cpp:
          The Arg_Shifter class is an iterator that, as it iterates over
          argv, places consumed arguments at the end of the vector,
          ignored ones in their original order at the beginning of the
          vector, and adjusts argc to hide the consumed arguments.

Mon Nov 17 18:40:49 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orb_core.i:
          Some data was not initialized when used from a thread different
          than the one doing ORB_init (even though we choose a global ORB
          in the svc.conf file). Chris found a fix for this. The affected
          methods are reactor(), thr_mgr(), connector() and acceptor().

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
          length was not working if the value was <= than the maximum.

        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
          Fixed the length() problem by hand, even though the new IDL
          compiler should do it right.

Mon Nov 17 11:52:54 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (server_header),
          TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp (be_change_idl_file_extension):
          Updated several methods to ensure const correctness for the
          updated ACE_OS::str*() methods.  Thanks to David Levine for
          reporting this.

Mon Nov 17 02:40:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.32, released Mon Nov 17 02:40:14 1997.

Mon Nov 17 01:48:17 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp:
          TypeCode generation was failing for imported members.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp:
          Member count must include all members, imported or not.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
          Added missing decr_indent() in the typecode generation which was
          making the generated code completely unreadable.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
          Removed the PullConsumer and PullSupplier classes, they are not
          supported.

        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h:

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
          New version of the generated files, this last version is almost
          making in it, but still needs hand crafting.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
          Fixed buggy TypeCode lenght computation, it was only taking into
          account the tc_encap_len() for the base type but it should use
          the full tc_size().

        * tao/encode.cpp:
          Object references *must* be passed a pointer to Object_ptr in
          the marshalling code.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp:
          Fixed generated code for Object references as return values. It
          allocates the Object_ptr in the heap, stores the result there
          and creates an Any for it.

Sun Nov 16 23:30:26 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/svr.cpp (main):
        Changed the code to use the resolve_initial_references ()
        interface to get the object refrence to the naming service.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/clnt.cpp (main): Now uses the
        resolve_initial_references() to get the naming service object
        reference, to get the logger factory object reference.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.cpp (main):
        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/svr.h:
        Added code to respond to multicast requests for the IOR.

        Added code to respond to multicast requests for the IOR.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Fixed some formatting
        problems dealing with the precision of the output.

Sun Nov 16 14:48:00 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{server,client}.dsp: Updated library
          path for release version.

        * TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.mak:
        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added new files (be_state_*.cpp) into
          project file.

Sun Nov 16 12:56:24 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: The _is_a_skel method's signature
        had an Object_ptr obj parameter which was unused. Instead of
        generating the ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj) line of code, we use /* obj */
        in the signature.

Sun Nov 16 05:51:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.31, released Sun Nov 16 05:51:38 1997.

Sun Nov 16 00:22:04 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
          Fixed output for structs and union test.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp:
          If the user provides no key for an object we generate one, based
          on the object address.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
          The length() method should get the maximum if reallocation
          occurs.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
        * tao/orbobj.cpp:
        * tao/orbobj.h:
        * tao/params.cpp:
        * tao/params.h:
          Added new options to the ORB (-ORBeventserviceior,
          -ORBscheduleserviceior), this should go away once the Naming
          Service works properly, but are needed now to locate this
          services.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Makefile:
          Added several small classes that help when using the Scheduling
          and/or the Event Service.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Factory.i:
          Encapsulate the construction and configuration of the Scheduling
          Service.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Runtime_Scheduler.i:
          Implement a simple, but fast, Scheduling Service based on a
          precomputed scheduling.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Utilities.i:
          Simplify the creation of QoS structures for the Event Service.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Utilities.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Utilities.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Scheduler_Utilities.i:
          Simplify manipulation of the RT_Infos for the Scheduling
          Service.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients_T.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/Channel_Clients_T.h:
          Helpers to adapt PushSuppliers and PushConsumers.

        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingC.i:

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.i:
        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerS.cpp:
          This files were generated by the IDL compiler and don't need any
          hand crafting (so far). I still maintain them in CVS because the
          compiler is not stable enough.

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Makefile:
          Removed spurious call to rm.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
          Removed the (already commented out) include of "orb.idl".

Sat Nov 15 21:38:48 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
          The generated length() method will reallocate the sequences
          now.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp:
          It was initializing nested constants in the client header file,
          Andy told me how to fix it.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp:
          Fixed typo in generated code:
          s/_tao_enviroment/_tao_environment/

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_field.cpp:
          Only generate the inline members of the field type if the type
          is not imported.

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp:
          Removed old code to support plain fork (without ACE).
          Also removed temporary files *unless* we are on Win32, were
          removing the file and keeping it open fails.

        * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h:
        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_global.cpp:
          Added routines to obtain the generated names of any IDL file,
          not only the one we are processing.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp:
          The compiler now generate all the required include directives
          when the IDL file contains some.

        * tao/params.cpp:
          Initialize name_service_port_ to zero in the constructor.

Sat Nov 15 21:20:01 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_string.cpp: The typecode info was getting
        generated in a wrong file because of setting the worng file to
        generate it in.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Some extra indentation was getting
        generated for typecodes. This is fixed.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_argument.cpp: For parameters of type
        ObjRefs, we were not passing the address of the object_ptr to the
        Any constructor. This would have caused seg faults when
        decoding. This is now fixed.

        * TAO_IDL/be: Split be_state.cpp into a number of files based on
        the IDL types, e.g., be_state_struct.cpp, be_state_union.cpp, ...

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: Name creation now uses a uniform
        strategy rather than typedefed sequences assuming the name of the
        typedef and anonymous sequences getting a generated name. This was
        required to eliminate a number of multiple declarations errors.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state_union.cpp: Since C++ does not allow
        instances of classes to appear inside a union declaration, the
        private data members for data members of type objref, strings,
        sequences, and anys must be pointers. This changes code in the
        accessor methods defined in the generated *.i files for the union.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: There were some instances of the
        incorrectly spelled _tao_enviroment remaining which have been
        corrected.

        * TAO/tao/managed_types.{h,i,cpp}: Added these 3 files that define
        the self managed data type similar to a String_var. These self
        managed data types are required for struct/union members that are
        strings or obj references, as well as for element types of
        sequences.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp: Added code to generate the typecode
        structure for typedefs. These use the tk_alias kind field.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_union,be_state}.cpp: Improvements to union with
        string members. However, this is still incomplete and will be
        done by the next couple of commits.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: Removed the ACE_DEBUG
        stmt for printing object keys.

Sat Nov 15 18:03:39 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (make_cubit): We don't
          need to free up the object key since it's no longer allocated
          dynamically.

        * tao/object: Changed the _get_name() method to return const char
          * to be consistent with the iiopobj change below.

        * tao/iiopobj: Fixed _get_name() so that it doesn't allocate
          memory by having it return const char * and just return the
          pointer.  This should fix some subtle problems.

Sat Nov 15 12:19:55 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp: Changed two loop counters from type
          int to type size_t.

Sat Nov 15 01:33:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.30, released Sat Nov 15 01:33:08 1997.

Fri Nov 14 19:45:01 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp :
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h :
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp :
        - Fixed the difference in latency problem from DII and IDL.
        - Changed the DII_Cubit client interface to be similar to IDL, now
        you can specify hostname and port number, instead of the IOR.

Fri Nov 14 17:48:14 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/CosNaming_i.cpp:

        * orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/Makefile:
          No need to include rules.bin.GNU.

Fri Nov 14 17:08:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Make sure that host is set to 0 in all the
          constructors.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (Profile): Modified the code to consistently
          store a NUL at the end of each object key string.

Fri Nov 14 17:10:20 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>

        * cubit_i.cpp: Changed &d to %d in ACE_ERROR

Fri Nov 14 16:42:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made sure that
        the resource factory faked entry had the proper number of
        arguments specified.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/clnt.cpp:
          A simple test program for the naming service, it simply tries to

          We will only maintain the TAO version for the naming service, no
          need to keep this subdirectories.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecScheduler.idl:
          The Real Time Scheduling Service. This module declares the QoS
          structures (RT_Info) and the interface for the global scheduler.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventComm.idl:
          Part of the Real Time Event Services interface, this file
          contains the Event type, the basic interfaces for consumers and
          suppliers and some exceptions.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdmin.idl:
          Part of the Real Time Event Services interface, in particular
          this module defines the event channel, the proxy interfaces and
          the QoS aware subscription and registration interfaces.

        * orbsvcs/lib/Event_Service_Constants.h:
          The Event Service implementation and the Scheduling Service
          implementation require this file, which defines some constants
          and static limits. For lack of a better place I putted it here.

        * orbsvcs/lib/CosNaming.idl:
          Moved the IDL file to the library, otherwise it cannot be used
          by clients.

        * tao/corba.h:
          Added some macros that support portable exception handling,
          either through C++ exceptions or the CORBA::Enviroment
          parameter.

        * orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h:

          I had to modify the IDL compiler generated files, I will keep
          the files in CVS until we no longer need to modify it.

Fri Nov 14 13:02:52 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/decode.cpp: TAO_Marshal_Objref::decode line 615 which tried
        to set the underlying object_addr was invoking an incorrect inline
        function because of lack of passing an argument to the object_addr
        () method. Specifically, due to the lask of argment, the
        "retrieve" method was getting called whereas we wanted the "set"
        method. All we do is pass a 0 (NUL) argument. This suffices
        because we have already decoded the host and port number. So all
        information is with us to set the server address.

Fri Nov 14 00:29:09 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/lex.yy.cpp: set RCS -ko option so that the Id keyword
          won't get expanded on checkout.  That was causing CVS to think
          that a merge was needed.

Thu Nov 13 19:11:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop.cpp (start): Updated the code to use the new
          object_addr() style.

        * tao/iiopobj: Added many fixes to the Profile code to fix nasty
          bugs.  Also, renamed {get|set}_object_addr() to simply
          object_addr(), which is the correct style.

        * tao/iiopobj.h: Replaced the use of "localhost" with
           ACE_DEFAULT_SERVER_HOST.  This is necessary to support broken
           platforms like MVS that don't support "localhost"...

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (parse_args): Assume for
          the moment that any arguments starting with `-O' are `-ORB' or
          `-OA'.  This should be fixed by having the ORB_init() and
          POA_init() methods consume their argv/argc's.

Thu Nov 13 16:18:32 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tao/orb_core.h:
        * tao/default_client.h:
        * tao/default_server.h:  Changed ACE_SVC_FACTORY_DECLARE to
          ACE_FACTORY_DECLARE.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp:
        * tao/default_client.cpp:
        * tao/default_server.cpp:  Changed ACE_SVC_FACTORY_DEFINE to
          ACE_FACTORY_DEFINE.

        * tao/corba.h: Added include "tao/tao_internals.h".

        * tao/tao_internals.h: Disable header file inclusions.  I've put
          this file into corba.h.

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Changed to use "tao/corba.h".

        * tao/TAO.mak:
        * tao/TAO.dsp:  Replaced ACE_BUILD_SVC_DLL with TAO_BUILD_DLL.

        * tao/corba.h: Added TAO_Export definition.

        * tao/*.h:  Replaced ACE_Svc_Export with TAO_Export.  Added
          default definition to build TAO DLL on Win32.

Thu Nov 13 01:47:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (IIOP_Object): Removed the duplicate CTORs that
        I'd accidentally included here during the prior merge/commit
        phase.

Wed Nov 12 23:59:29 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Changed to generate multithreaded codes
          on NT.

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/be/be_scope.cpp:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/lex.yy.cpp:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/ast_decl.h:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/idl.h:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_identifier.h:

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_exprlist.h:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_idlist.h:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_labellist.h:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_namelist.h:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_strlist.h:  Changed to use
          "ace/stdcpp.h" and removed inclusion of header files that
          conflict with standard C++ library.

Wed Nov 12 18:59:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iioporb.cpp: Added call to set object address in Profile.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Corrected code in the copy CTOR where the host
        was being copied over the old host.  This could prove bad if the
        amount of space allocated previously was too small for the
        hostname we're copying in.  Ideally we'd use something smarter
        than this, but hopefully (if you read the comment below) this will
        go away soon.

        * tao/iiopobj.*: Added an ACE_INET_Addr to IIOP::Profile so that
        we only need to do a gethostbyname() once.  After that we can used
        the cached information.  I'd really like to remove the host/port
        as explicit public data members, but for now we take one step at a
        time.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Use the IIOP::Profile object address when making a
        connection.

        * tao/decode.cpp: Added code to set the object address in the
        Profile when an object ref is decoded.

        * tao/debug.h: Removed old questions in comments.

        * tao/connect.h: Added some documentation.

Wed Nov 12 17:41:02 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: I had forgotten to update the return type of
        _get_name in iiopobj.cpp to "char *" instead of "const char *".

Wed Nov 12 14:28:48 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_union.cpp: Fixed a problem where the front end
        would not give any error if there were duplicate case labels. This
        was happening since an overloaded == operator taking an
        AST_Expression* was not getting called. Instead a simple
        comparison of addresses was taking place. We now use the "compare"
        method defined on the AST_Expression class to fix this problem.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Removed some code under #if 0. The
        noteworthy change, however, has to do with code that gets
        generated for the "_is_a_skel". Some compilers were issuing a
        warning saying "unused argument obj". Since we cannot change the
        signature of the generated "_is_a_skel", we use the trick of
        generatung ACE_UNUSED_ARG (obj); in the code. Some other
        formatting changes made.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp: Some very minor changes so that the
        generated code is properly indented.

        * tao/{iiopobj,object,stub}.h, iiopobj.cpp: Changed the return
        type of _get_name to return a heap-allocated "char *". In the
        earlier case we were erroneously returning a pointer to local
        array. This was a change I made a couple of days back to deal with
        the fact that object keys are octet arrays and are not null
        terminated. Now we take the object key and make a NULL terminated
        copy in a heap allocated string. It is the caller's responsibility
        to free this.

        * tao/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp: Used string_free to
        free the string returned by _get_name.

        * tao/tests/Thruput/client.cpp: _narrow now uses the additional
        env parameter.

Wed Nov 12 09:22:47 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (open_services): added ACE_UNUSED_ARGs
          for argc and argv if TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP.

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: disabled clean and realclean targets on VxWorks,
          so that they don't remove tao_idl from the host build tree.

Tue Nov 11 23:50:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.29, released Tue Nov 11 23:50:06 1997.

Tue Nov 11 20:45:26 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Replaced NULL with 0.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Fixed the macro for TAO_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION so
          compilers don't whine about extra semi-colons.

        * tao/iioporb.cpp (iiop_string_to_object): Added a cast of (char
          *) 0 to disambiguate one of the methods.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Moved the constructors and destructors of
          IIOP_Object from the *.i file to the *.cpp file and made them
          non-inline.

Tue Nov 11 18:19:16 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/iiopobj.{h,cpp}: Added two new constructors one of which is
        useful for the _bind call generated by the IDL compiler. This
        constructor takes the host name, port number, and key value
        thereby avoiding the costly string2object call inside the _bind
        method. The second constructor is used to reduce the amount of
        code that gets generated to set a IIOP_Object in the constructor
        of the skeleton class.

        Additionally, these constructors use the REENTRANT get_host_name
        method of the INET_Addr class to retrieve the host name.

        * tao/iiopobj.h,stub.h: Modified the signature of _get_name to
        return a const char*. So users will have to copy this value.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: The method _get_name uses an internal character
        array in which the object key is copied. This is necessary so that
        we can NULL terminate the opaque key and return it to the user.

        * tao/orbconf.h,cdr.h: Commented (and will eventually remove) the
        defintion of MY_BYTE_SEX from cdr.h. Instead, we now use the macro
        TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER which gets defined in orbconf.h. The files
        affected due to this renaming are:

        tao/{iioporb.cpp, giop.cpp, except.cpp, cdr.cpp, encode.cpp,
        interp.cpp, tc_const.cpp}

        The following files in the IDL compiler source were affected since
        they had to generate TAO_ENCAP_BYTE_ORDER instead of MY_BYTE_SEX.
        TAO_IDL/be/{be_array,be_enum,be_interface,be_sequence,be_structure,
                be_union}.cpp

        * tao/{typecode,decode}.cpp: some reformatting, indentation.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: code generated for _bind uses the
        newly added constructor to class IIOP_Object.

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_interface.be_state}.cpp: Code generated for
        _narrow now takes an additional CORBA::Environment parameter.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: cubit_i.cpp - in the method
        make_cubit, we make a copy of the string returned by _get_name and
        then free that memory.

        clnt.cpp: The tests for unions have been uncommented. The reason
        they were not working and resulting in seg fault was that methods
        of the cubit interface were being invoked on the factory object.

Tue Nov 11 10:07:04 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/Makefile: added missing before (VAR)
          in VBIN definition.

        * tao/orbconf.h: added __i386 to TAO_WORDS_BIGENDIAN check,
          because that's what g++/VxWorks uses.  Also added __alpha
          to little endian CPUs.

        * tao/orb_core.i: fixed preprocessor test for using the
          ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i specialization.

Tue Nov 11 04:22:44 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.28, released Tue Nov 11 04:22:44 1997.

Tue Nov 11 01:16:07 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): Reformatted the
          multicast Name Service locator just a bit.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Started putting a more sane way of automatically
          determining the size of various datatypes into TAO.

Tue Nov 11 00:36:39 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/ior_multicast.h:
        * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/ior_multicast.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/clnt.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/clnt.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/svr.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/bin/Logger/Makefile:
        Added multicast resolution of the logger service example.

Tue Nov 11 00:36:39 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (resolve_name_service): changed macro for default
        multicast port.
        - Added support for multicast mechanism to resolve the name
        service.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Added some definitions for TAO's default
        multicast and reply port, and the default timeout value.

Tue Nov 11 00:00:25 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Makefile: removed MUNCHED because
          it's no longer needed for g++/VxWorks.

Mon Nov 10 22:02:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/interp.cpp (declare_entry): Moved TAO_ALIGNMENT_MAGIC_NUMBER
          to orbconf.h instead of burying it in interp.cpp.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Rather than trying to guess what the size of
          wchar_t, let's just use what's in ACE.

Mon Nov 10 19:26:03 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_INT): FreeBSD and NetBSD have 4 byte
          ints. Thanks to Nanbor for pointing this out.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added template instantiation for ACE_Atomic_Op.

        * tao/orbconf.h: NetBSD has a long double of size 12, as does
          FreeBSD. Fixed SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE to fix this.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (main): Removed cerr's
          and replaced them with ACE_ERROR_RETURN's and the like.

Mon Nov 10 01:25:19 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * tao/giop.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to classes
          (TAO_GIOP_Request_Header, TAO_GIOP_Invocation, TAO_GIOP.)  Some
          of them may not be necessary.

Mon Nov 10 00:09:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.27, released Mon Nov 10 00:09:24 1997.

Sun Nov 09 23:43:04 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/corba.h: Reordered the inclusion of poa.i, giop.i,
          iioporb.i, and iiopobj.i

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (close_services): Fixed typo.

Sun Nov 09 23:32:58 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.26, released Sun Nov 09 23:32:58 1997.

Sun Nov 09 22:04:12 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init):
        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (close_services):

          Changed ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex to ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_MUTEX.

Sun Nov  9 16:05:56 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: *
        tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h: Added clnt.h and restructured
        the code so it is similar to the IDL_Cubit example.  It doesn't,
        however, have the same options because the DII example uses an ior
        as input.

        * tao/debug.cpp: Added dummy function to get rid of
        "'debug_stream' defined but not used" warning.

Sun Nov  9 13:03:37 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao: Removed the svc.conf.eg file since it was out of date.

        * tao/svrrqst: Removed the #include for svrrqst.i since we don't
          need any inline functions now.

        * tao/tao_internals: Removed the #include for tao_internals.i
          since we don't need any inline functions now.

        * tao/varout.h: Cleaned up the programming style.

        * tao: Continued to replace all fields with names _foo to foo_.

        * tao/iioporb.cpp: Move the hex routines into ACE since they are
          more general.

        * tao/iioporb.cpp: Removed the inclusion of iioporb.i since it is
          already included in corba.h.

        * tao: Replaced all uses of ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX
          since this is portable...

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Removed the inclusion of iiopobj.i since it is
          already included in corba.h.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Moved several large inlined methods into the *.cpp
          file.

        * tao/giop: Removed the enormous (and unused) incoming_message()
          method.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Removed the inclusion of giop.i since that is
          handled in corba.h.

        * tao: Removed the factories.i and factories.cpp files since they
          don't seem to be used by anything.

        * tao/{corbacom,except}.*: Changed SYSEX to the more politically
          correct TAO_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION.

        * tao: Replaced all uses of wslen() and wscpy() with the
          corresponding ACE_OS wide string functions.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Removed all the HAVE_WIDEC_H stuff.  This should
          be handed by ACE.

        * tao/connect.i: Removed the template instantiations since they
          were commented out and didn't appear to be used.

        * tao/connect.cpp: connect.i was already being included in corba.h,
          so don't include it again.

        * tao/client_factory.cpp: Moved inlined constructor/destructor
          from the *.i file into the *.cpp file.

        * tao/cdr.cpp (CDR): Moved a bunch of absurdly long inlined methods
          from the *.i file into the *.cpp file.

        * tao/any.cpp (CORBA_Any): refcount_ has previously been
          uninitialized.  I gave it a value of 1.

        * tao/any.cpp (CORBA_Any): Moved the initialization into the
          base/member section, where it belongs.

        * tao/any.h: Corrected a spelling mistake in an enumeral and
          upper-cased the minor codes for exceptional returns.  Are these
          actually used anywhere?

        * tao: Removed all the unnecessary #if 0 ... #endif header files.
          I don't know why there were still there.

        * tao/except.h: Moved the #ifdef for minor and major into
          orbconf.h, where they belong.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Removed all the DECLARED_* macros since they
          no longer made sense once we've got ACE.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Moved the TAO_DEFAULT* macros from ace/OS.h
          here, which is more where they belong.

        * tao/default_server.cpp (TAO_Default_Server_Strategy_Factory):

        * tao/{debug.h,orbconf.h}: Removed the DECLARED_STRERROR macro
          since ACE handles this.

Sun Nov 09 10:18:06 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/connect.cpp: fixed RCS keyword (Id instead of id).

Sat Nov 08 23:23:41 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.25, released Sat Nov 08 23:23:41 1997.

Sat Nov  8 21:27:34 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Removed the code that always binded us
          to our hostname.  This is unnecessary and makes it hard to use
          other interfaces on the same host (such as localhost or some ATM
          interface, etc.).  With this change (and the corresponding
          changes to ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name()), we can now bind to
          INADDR_ANY.

        * docs/releasenotes: Added Marina's documentation for the Trader
          and cleaned up all the other entries to make them consistent.

        * tao: Changed ProfileBody to Profile, TaggedProfile to
          Tagged_Profile, ProfileSeq to Profile_Sequence, and ProfileId to
          Profile_ID.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp (ProfileBody): For some god knows why reason,
          the CORBA::String and CORBA::UShort parameters to ProfileBody
          where being passed as references.  This is silly, so I changed
          them to non-references.

        * tao/connect.cpp (open),
          tao/poa.cpp (create): Replaced a use of
          ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name(void) with
          ACE_INET_Addr::get_host_name (char *, size_t), which is
          reentrant.

        * tao/Makefile: Removed the DCFLAGS, OCFLAGS, and the TAO_ORB_CORE
          target macros from the Makefile since they were unnecessary.
          Thanks to Arturo for reporting this.

        * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Fixed a strange format code in
          print_exception that was causing a seg fault.  What the heck
          does %#lx mean?  Thanks to Mark L Boriack <mark@vtcibm4a> for
          reporting this.

Fri Nov 07 21:23:35 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * tao/orb_core.h:
        * tao/marshal.h:
        * tao/corbacom.h:
          Added ACE_Svc_Export to some classes.

        * tao/any.cpp:
          Removed delete after DEEP_FREE call, it crashes on NT and it
          should be unneeded.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp (gen_code):
          When generating arguments for the server header don't use nested
          types. The fully qualified type name is needed, even on NT.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp:
          Added code to generate a default constructor.

Fri Nov 07 17:26:49 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tao/TAO.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp:  Removed
          ACE_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE flag.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.cpp (main): Added a
          return statement to satisfy MSVC.

Fri Nov  7 18:20:46 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/{client,server}/svc.conf: Updated to
        reflect the proper combination of options to achieve the
        thread-per-ORB-per-rate concurrency model.

        * docs/components.html: Updated to refer to seminal documentation
        referred to below.

        * docs/configurations.html: Started some new documentation.  It's
        got a ways to go right now. :-)

Fri Nov 07 15:42:45 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): check for 0 argv[curarg]
          before calling strcmp on it.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Makefile: added MUNCHED for
          VxWorks/g++.

Fri Nov  7 10:30:59 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Updated faked
        service entries to include new Resource Factory.  This is the
        fallback for VxWorks.

        * tao/orb_core.h (TAO_Resource_Factory): Added much comments.

Fri Nov 07 02:45:56 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.24, released Fri Nov 07 02:45:56 1997.

Fri Nov  7 01:58:30 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@coyote.wolfpack.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp: Added the (__FreeBSD__) flag to
          correctly include wait.h file.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Replaced ACE_NETBSD with ACE_HAS_THREADS in
          template instantiation segment.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Added the (__FreeBSD__) flag to exclude inclusion of
          widec.h.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (Release): Wrapped ACE_GUARD with ACE_MT macro.

Fri Nov 07 01:46:04 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/(cubitC.cpp, cubit.cpp): Byte order
          changed from 1 to MY_BYTE_SEX.

Thu Nov  6 23:59:45 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/params.cpp: Moved all the inlined methods out of the header
          file and put them in the *.cpp file.  I hope this doesn't cause
          problems for GCC on VxWorks.

        * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp: Fixed a mistake with how
          the long string constant was defined.  The scheme being
          used wasn't portable.

Thu Nov 06 20:58:52 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/connect.cpp: Made sure that TAO_Server_Connection_Handler
          and TAO_Client_Connection_Handler have a zero Reactor pointer.
          If this is not the case, they will try to deregister from a
          sometimes non-existent Reactor.

Thu Nov  6 19:06:59 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes/index.html: Updated status of Naming Service
        port to TAO.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp (gen_client_header):
        removed warning for unused variable.

Thu Nov  6 17:07:58 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/tao_internals.i: Added missing #include file.

        * tao/tao_internals.i: Change lock used as monitor for service
        count to use ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance().  This pleases
        VxWorks (but makes me nauseous).

        * tao/tao_internals.h: Removed static instances of locks to please
        VxWorks.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Changed lock used for the monitor
        here to be ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance().  This pleases
        VxWorks (but makes me nauseous).

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Merged in changes for new Naming
        Service-related options that got accidentally overwritten last
        night.

        * docs/Options.html: Added documentation for new Naming
        Service-related options in.

        * tao/orbobj.h: Added documentation for a few static methods.

        * tao/params.h: Changed LOCAL_INLINE macro to TAO_LOCAL_INLINE to
        avoid possible collisions with application macros.

Thu Nov  6 14:51:22 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: Renamed libutil to libtao_idl_util. libutil is
        a system library on NetBSD. Updated TAO_IDL/util/Makefile to be
        compatible with this.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp (server_header): Changed ::toupper to
        be toupper, since toupper is a macro on some platforms (like
        netbsd).

        * TAO_IDL/driver/{drv_preproc.cpp, drv_fork.cpp}: NetBSD has
        sys/wait.h, instead of wait.h. Added #define to fix it.

Thu Nov  6 01:40:29 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/tao_internals.h: #defined ACE_Thread_Mutex to be
        ACE_Null_Mutex for NetBSD.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Added NetBSD to the #define around HAVE_WIDEC_H.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp: #defined around some thread-specific template
        instantiations which are not needed on NetBSD.

        * tao/except.h: Undefined "minor" and "major, since these are
        defined in NetBSD.

Thu Nov 06 14:47:15 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/params.[hi]: inlined some functions in the class declaration
          because g++ for VxWorks couldn't deal with them in the .i file.

        * tao/tao_internals.*,orbobj.cpp: fixed replacement of orbinit_lock_
          and service_lock_ with ACE_Static_Object_Lock::instance ().

Thu Nov 06 02:17:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.23, released Thu Nov 06 02:17:02 1997.

Wed Nov  5 23:44:42 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{orbobj,iioporb}.h: Made the first parameter to
          string_to_object() a const CORBA::String rather than just a
          CORBA::String.

        * tao/params (addr): Fixed a bug where we should have been using
          const ACE_INET_Addr & rather than just ACE_INET_Addr &.

        * tao/orbobj: Began adding the hooks for a multicast-based
          implementation of resolve_initial_references().

        * tao/params: Added a new set/get interface to optionally set/get
          the IOR of the configured Naming Service.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Added a -ORBnameservice command-line
          option.  If this option is given, it indicates the IOR where the
          Naming Service resides.

        * tao/params: Changed the signature of TAO_ORB_Parameters::addr()
          to return a const ACE_INET_Addr & rather than an ACE_INET_Addr.

        * tao/params: Added new get/set name_service_port() methods to
          get/set the name service multicast port.

Wed Nov  5 22:38:08 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp (main):
        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp (main): Fixed missing declarations
        and unused variables and labels.  Fixed uninitialized and unused
        variables.

        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.cpp (ttcp_sequence_i):
        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.h (class ttcp_sequence_i): Change to
        use POA.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/README (server): Changed comment on
        how to start the server to indicate the use of "-d" to see the
        IOR.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (Cubit_Client): Reordered
        member initializers to match declaration order

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Fixed comparison of
        ">=" on an unsigned variable to compare only ">".

Wed Nov 05 20:35:52 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (fini): Close down the connector. Other
        ORB_Core specific objects also need to be cleaned up (and
        deleted).

        * tests: Made sure that the orb pointer returned by ORB::init() is
        correctly freed up.  Following files were updated:

          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp
          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp
          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp
          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h
          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp
          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp
          TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp
          TAO/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/server.cpp

Wed Nov  5 19:37:25 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL compiler:

        files be_array.cpp, be_interface.cpp, be_sequence.cpp,
        be_structure.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_enum.cpp - Added MY_BYTE_SEX to
        the typecode generation methods.

        be_operation.cpp, be_argument.cpp, be_state.cpp, be_codegen.* -
        Modified to deal with _out parameters that are passed to the
        actual upcalls in the server-side skeleton.

        Some minor changes involving removing commented-out code in the
        constructors of some classes.

        * tests/Thruput_test: Some modifications. Still needs more work
        get it to run.

Wed Nov 05 19:26:44 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/DII_Cubit.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/IDL_Cubit.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/server.dsp:
        * tao/TAO.dsp: Renamed debeg version of TAO library to TAO.dll for
          NT.

Wed Nov 05 13:39:19 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: more hacks to not build the IDL compiler
          on VxWorks.

Wed Nov 05 12:53:53 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/interp.cpp:

          - Win32 does not use "fixed" byte alignment.  Fixed the
            setup_entry macro to take this into account.

          - (declare_entry) Seperated the declaration of the structs from
            their use.  This is necessary for the VC++4.2 compiler.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Commented out debug
          message, since obj is not declared.

Wed Nov 05 01:41:34 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.22, released Wed Nov 05 01:41:34 1997.

Wed Nov  5 00:48:58 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thruput_test/utils.cpp: Delete static definitions of
        functions.

        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp:
        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcpC.cpp (_duplicate):
        * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp (main):
        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcp_i.cpp (sendStructSeq):
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp: Removed a couple of warnings
        of unused and uninitialized variables.  Included "ace/ACE.h" to
        be able to have the _REENTRANT flag.

Wed Nov  5 00:18:17 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp: Added code to generate the missing
        operator [] for sequences.

Tue Nov  4 23:38:54 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/{server,client}/Makefile: Removed the
        (evil) TAO_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE flag. Now this functionality is
        provided by svc.conf.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/: Fixed the server code to use the new
        IDL compiler generated code.

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp: Changed the
        order of the initializers to remove g++ warnings, and added some
        ACE_UNUSED_ARGs. Also removed the hand-crafted stubs, to make way
        for the idl-compiler generated files.

Tue Nov  4 23:21:29 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main):
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (run): Changed the format of the
        output to be more readable.  Also, fixed resolution of the time for
        the cube_struct_dii() call.

Tue Nov  4 21:12:48 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/except.h: Removed print_exception().  It seems unnecessary
        and pollutes the global namespace.

Tue Nov  4 16:58:12 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * {tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit,tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit,
        tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit,tests/Demux_Test,
        tests/Thruput_test}/Makefile: Added an explicit definition for
        VBIN so that VxWorks can build properly.

        * tao/orb_core.*: Modified TAO_Resource_Factory so that it divides
        the information that it tracks between pre-allocated resources and
        resources which are allocated by the application.  Specifically,
        the orb and root poa pointers are in here (though it's possible
        that when we move to a full POA implementation that the root poa
        can be pre-allocated as well).  These pointers are initialized to
        zero and are given values by the TAO_ORB_Core instance writing
        through back to the TAO_Resource_Factory instance.

        Also, this implementation reduced the number of singletons/TSS
        singletons utilized by the resource factory.  The initial
        "get-it-working" cut used a singleton/tss singleton pair for every
        resource, which was quite wasteful in environments such as NT that
        don't have many TSS slots available.  Perhaps if we get even more
        clever this can be reduced even further.

        * tao/except.*: Added print_exception() function for backwards
        compatibility.  It simply calls
        CORBA::Environment::print_exception().

Tue Nov 04 10:45:07 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: Enclosed a #pragma ident with #if !defined
          ACE_WIN32.  Compilers other than SunCC might also need this.

Tue Nov  4 13:47:26 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit: Modified the Makefiles in the
        client and server directory so that they use the TAO IDL
        compiler. Also added the clean and realclean targets. Updated the
        server side cubit.idl because it was different from what the
        client was using.

        * TAO_IDL compiler: Fixed the following problems

        (1) Removed the extra call to Release in the generated _narrow
        method  in be_interface.cpp

        (2) Used ACE_CORBA_1 (Object) instead of CORBA::Object in the
        class declaration for interfaces - in be_interface.cpp

        (3) be_interface_fwd.cpp - var_impl had to be updated to generate
        code that uses the ptr () method in the calls to _duplicate

        * TAO/tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: Fixed some outstanding issues and
        made sure that it works. Updated the README file.

Tue Nov 04 09:48:51 1997  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orb_core.i: disabled the ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr>::hash_i ()
          template specialization on g++/VxWorks because g++
          cygnus-2.7.2-960126 can't handle it.

        * tao/except.h (line 118): removed backslash at end of comment line.
          Some compilers complain about that.

        * tao/except.cpp (CORBA_SystemException): reordered initializers to
          match declaration order.

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: don't build the IDL compiler on VxWorks.

Tue Nov 04 06:26:14 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp:
          It still generated fully qualified names for some sequences,
          that will not work on NT.

Tue Nov 04 05:32:44 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.21, released Tue Nov 04 05:32:44 1997.

Tue Nov  4 04:42:17 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp:
        * tests/Thruput_test/client.cpp:
        * tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp:
        Fixed "print_exception" errors and errors due to some changes in
        the orb compiler.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (svc): Use unsigned
        int for variable that is used for positive comparisons only.

Tue Nov 04 01:00:51 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/IDL_Cubit.dsw: Renamed former test.dsw
          to IDL_Cubit.dsw.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp: Renamed
          executables for debug version to client.exe and server.exe on
          NT.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/DII_Cubit.dsw: Renamed former test.dsw
          to DII_Cubit.dsw.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/{client,server}.dsp: Renamed
          executables for debug version to client.exe and server.exe on
          NT.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Cubit.mak: Added cubit.idl into
          makefile and its custom build settings.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MT_Cubit.dsw: Renamed former
          MTCubit.dsw to MT_Cubit.dsw.

Mon Nov 03 23:16:06 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce_value): Added an explicit
          cast (float) to avoid NT warnging messages.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/svr.cpp (svc): Removed
          declaration of function print_exception.  It's now a member
          function of CORBA_Environment.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp: Commented out include <values.h>.  This
          was causing compilation errors on NT.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp: Changed to use the new
          CORBA_Environment::print_exception.

        * tao/except.h (CORBA_Environment):  Added ACE_Svc_Export to this
          class.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MTCubit.dsw:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client/client.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server/server.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/client.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/server.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/test.dsw:  Added new workspace and
          project files.

        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp:  Moved the output executables to the usual
          place.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be.h: Added #ifdef'ed pragma to diable warning 4250
          on NT.  This is only temporary and should be fixed later.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp (gen_var_defn):
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp (gen_var_defn):
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp (gen_var_defn): Removed unused local
          variables declaration (s).

Mon Nov  3 23:25:30 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL Compiler: Files be_sequence.cpp, be_typedef.cpp,
        be_state.cpp: Lots of improvements to get sequences to
        work. Support for sequences of strings or obj references is
        limited. But for all other cases, this seems to be working fine.

        There were some unnecessary lines of code in be_state.cpp that
        were giving rise to multiple declarations errors. These are
        removed.

Mon Nov  3 18:30:09 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main): compare with
        "!= 0" rather than "== -1" for errors.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit.idl (enum discrim): Deleted
        enumerations not used.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (please_exit): Fixed
        unused variable.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h (Cubit_Factory_i):
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.h (objrefs): Fixed invalid
        comparison between a signed and unsigned variable.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): Fixed comparison of
        ">=" on an unsigned variable to compare only ">".

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp (gen_client_stubs): Removed unused
        variable warning.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/y.tab.cpp (yytoks): Added brackets to the array
         of structures being initialized.

Mon Nov 03 18:43:37 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_operation.cpp:
          "Fixed" skeleton generation code. Sometimes the formal parameter
          names for the skeleton can clash with the user defined names for
          the (IDL) method parameter names.
          To minimize the chances of such a problem I choose very long
          parameter names for the skeleton (things like <_tao_enviroment>
          instead of just <env>), but the right solution is to ignore the
          user defined parameter names and generate them using some
          numbering scheme.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_predefined_type.cpp:
          Generate CORBA::_tc_Object as the TypeCode for all pseudo
          object, this is a hack but works for the files we are using
          right now (maybe it will fail for complex things, like the
          interface repository).

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
          Fixed a number of minor problems:
          Missing _ptr type for sequences.
          The return type for T_var::operator-> was different in the
          .h and .i file.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp:
          tc_name_ and type_name_ were not initialized, producing some
          segfaults under NT.

Mon Nov  3 13:45:54 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * {tao,TAO_IDL/util,TAO_IDL/narrow,TAO_IDL/fe,TAO_IDL/driver,
        TAO_IDL/be,TAO_IDL/ast,Benchmark/benchmark}/Makefile (SHLIB):
        Fixed definition so that the extension was(SOEXT) rather than
        hard-coded to "so".  This makes things compile on VxWorks better.
        Thanks to David Levine for pointing this out.

Sun Nov 02 19:42:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.20, released Sun Nov 02 19:42:08 1997.

Sun Nov  2 19:20:57 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tao/except.*: Made the "print_exception" utility function
        as a method of class Environment.

        * TAO/tao/giop.cpp: In the TAO_GIOP_Invocation::start method, we
        were previously not returning even if the connection establishment
        phase was failing. A return statement is inserted. However, there
        still are problems when the GIOP_Invocation variable called "call"
        goes out of scope.

        * TAO_IDL Compiler: be_interface.cpp - The _bind call now
        generates a "char IOR" instead of "static char IOR" since the
        latter will be problematic with multiple threads. Thanks to
        Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for pointing that out.

        * TAO/test/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit : Improved the code so that it uses
        the "print_exception" which is now defined on class
        CORBA::Environment. The clnt still needs improvement in terms of
        handling invalid parameters and gracefully exiting.

        * IDL_Compiler: The bug resulting out of encoding object
        references has been fixed atleast on Solaris using g++ as well as
        SunCC. Changes made to be_operation.cpp and be_state.cpp such that
        the return value for object references is always of type
        CORBA::Object_ptr rather than the real interface type. In
        addition, keeping in perspective the change that Irfan made and
        described below (in encode.cpp), the Any that holds the result
        *does not* own the value. In contrast, for the rest of the cases
        the result (of type Any) owns the result.

        * be_sequence.cpp: Additional work in progress. Full changelog
        entry will be available in the next commit.

Fri Oct 31 22:20:06 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/encode.cpp (encode): Changed cast of data from
          *(CORBA::Object_ptr *) to (CORBA::Object_ptr).

        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Manipulation of curarg was
          all messed up.  Fixed it such that it was not incremented
          unnecessarily.

Fri Oct 31 13:46:04 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/Options.html: Updated to specify new TAO_Resource_Factory
        service and its options.

        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Updated to reflect recent work.

        * tao/orb_core.*: Added the acceptor and related members and
        methods from CORBA_ORB.  Made TAO_Resource_Factory a Service
        Object so that it can be loaded via the Service Configurator.  The
        option to change its resources between global and thread-specific
        is "-ORBresources global" and "-ORBresources tss", respectively.

        * tao/orbobj.*: Moved the acceptor and related members and methods
        to TAO_ORB_Core.

        * tests/.../svc.conf: Added Resource Factory as a service.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{DII_Cubit,MT_Cubit}/cubitS.cpp,
        tests/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp, tao/poa.cpp: Changed acceses that
        used to go to CORBA_ORB::params() to go to TAO_ORB_Core::params().

Fri Oct 31 08:39:54 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL Compiler - Intermediate commit of all improved features.

        * be/be_type.* : Improved the nested_type_name method such that it
        now takes an additional parameter called suffix that has a default
        value of NULL. Carlos, Sergio, and myself independently found an
        extremely bad piece of code that was getting generated that looked
        like the following:
                ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY)_ptr

        The new convention is to pass the suffix such as "_ptr", or "_var"
        or "_out" to this method so that it can generate valid code of the
        form:
                ACE_NESTED_CLASS (XXXX, YYYY_ptr)

        * be/be_decl.cpp : All the methods such as repoID (), flatname
        (), etc now check if the corresponding data member was created or
        not. If they are not, the corresponding private method e.g.,
        compute_repoID (), are invoked. This way we do not have to call
        all these private methods in the constructors of all the derived
        be classes. The one compelling reason to do it this way is because
        the "names" for certain types are not available at construction
        time, e.g., sequences. A name to a sequence is assigned from the
        context it is in i.e., whether it was a named sequence in the form
        of a "typedef" statement or it was an anonymous sequence.

        As of this commit, all calls to such compute_*  methods in the
        constructors of all the derived be classes are commented out and
        will eventually disappear in the next commit.

        * be/be_decl.cpp : One more change in be_decl.cpp is to add the
        case for "interface_fwd" in the generation of the _var and _out
        definitions and implementations.

        * be/be_helper.* : Added two new methods called "gen_ifdef_macro"
        and "gen_endif". These are required to generate the #if !defined
        (...) <code> #endif macros. These are very essential if the IDL
        has forward declarations of interfaces. Forward declarations of
        interfaces must generate a forward class declaration. In addition,
        it has to typedef the "_ptr" type and define the "_var" and "_out"
        types. However, the real "be_interface" class does this too which
        can result in "multiple declarations" errors from the C++
        compiler. Hence we use this scheme. As in the case of the
        nested_type_name method mentioned above, this method also takes a
        default "suffix" parameter (= 0). This is required for the "_var",
        "_ptr", and "_out" suffixes.

        * be/be_interface.cpp
          be/be_interface_fwd.cpp:

        Used the TAO_OutStream::gen_ifdef_macro () and gen_endif methods
        for the definitions of the _ptr, _var, and _out classes and their
        implementations.

        *be/be_sequence.* : Lot of modifications and change in the design
        in terms of handling the base types that themselves could be
        sequences. Although the AST_Sequence i.e., OMG IDL does not define
        a "sequence" to be a scope producing construct like structs or
        unions, we choose to make "be_sequence" to be a scope producing
        construct. This is no way alters the OMG IDL language because the
        front-end is still the same. "be_sequence" was made to inherit
        from scope because the sequence mapping gives rise to a C++ class
        which is a scoping construct. This way, base types that turn out
        to be anonymous sequences can be assigned a parent scope and their
        name generation will fall in line with other classes.

        There are certain features missing with sequences at this commit
        time, but this should reduce tweaking the generated code to a
        large extent.

        * be/be_state.cpp: Update the code for handling sequences and
        typedefs. Typedefs should be handled properly now.

        * All other *.cpp files: Either commented out the compute_* calls
        in the constructors or removed them.

Fri Oct 31 03:00:09 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orb_core.cpp: Moved call to connector's open() into init(),
        thus insuring that it gets called only AFTER all the resources are
        available from the Resource Factory.

        * tao/orb_core.*: Changed data members to be associations rather
        than containment.  This allows decoupling of the
        "thread-specificness" of these resources from the
        thread-specificness of the general TAO_ORB_Core container.  Also
        added set accessors for those resources.

        Added TAO_Resource_Factory class from which the TAO_ORB_Core
        container initializes itself.  For now this remains a singleton
        which is, at compile-time, determined to be either TSS or not.
        But, soon, it will be loaded via the Service Configurator and its
        TSS nature determined at runtime.

        * tao/giop.h: Updated to use the new ACE macro
        ACE_CLASS_IS_NAMESPACE.

        * tao/default_server.*: Implemented the new open() method so that
        it initializes the Reactive and Threaded strategies from the
        information in TAO_ORB_Core.

        * tao/server_factory.*: Added open() method to be called after all
        ORB resources are loaded up.  This method can then be used by a
        strategy factory to further initialize its contained strategies if
        they require handles to resources to which the ORB might legislate
        access.  The default implementation does nothing.

Fri Oct 31 01:03:05 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp (main): obj was not declared.
          Commented out use of obj in dmsg1.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_Factory_i):
          numobjs_ was used before it was assigned.

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/TAO_IDL.{mak,mdp}: Added VC++4.2 make files.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump): Streaming the enum was
          ambiguous.  Therefore the enum was cast to an int.

Thu Oct 30 22:50:44 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * tao/corba.h:
          Added a definition for ACE_NESTED_CLASS, maybe it is defined in
          some place else, but I couldn't find it.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp:
          Fixed the definition for skeleton destructors.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_helper.cpp:
          Added a lot of redundant ACE_OS::fflush() calls. Apparently we
          have two FILE* or file descriptors over the same file, bt the
          fflush hides the problem.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp:
          Fixed inconsistency between operator-> declaration and
          definition for _out classes.

Thu Oct 30 14:06:54 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/Makefile:
        Added an expression to the sed command in the rule to construct
        lex.yy.cpp, that replaces ECHO with TAO_ECHO, because a
        different ECHO macro is already defined in
        /usr/include/sys/termios.h

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll:
        Fixed some warnings about nested comments.
        Changed the declaration of variable i to outside of
        the 'for' initialization to avoid obsolete binding warnings.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface_fwd.cpp (gen_client_header):
        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
        for variable i.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_constant.cpp (exprtype_to_string):
        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_error.cpp (exprtype_to_string):
        Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled
        enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType.  These will
        handle a default value (i.e. NULL).  Enumerations added are:
        AST_Expression::EV_wstring
        AST_Expression::EV_wchar
        AST_Expression::EV_longdouble
        AST_Expression::EV_ulonglong
        AST_Expression::EV_longlong

Thu Oct 30 09:56:41 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop.h: Added comments to TAO_GIOP class explicitly pointing
        out its use as a namespace.  Concurrently, I also scoped the CTOR,
        Copy CTOR, and DTOR as 'private' so nobody can mistakenly
        instantiate one of these puppies.

Thu Oct 30 03:40:26 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/client.dsp:
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/server.dsp:  Updated include files
          path and libarary path.

        * tao/giop.cpp (close_connection): Use ACE_HANDLE instead of int.

Thu Oct 30 02:53:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.19, released Thu Oct 30 02:53:20 1997.

Thu Oct 30 02:20:21 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IDL_Cubit:
        Added more comments and changed the header to be ACE'ified.
        Make output more consistent.

Thu Oct 30 02:12:27 1997 Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/{TAO, Cubit}: Changed the directory heirarchy to the
        following: tests/Cubit/TAO/ now contains all the Cubit examples,
        i.e. IDL_Cubit, MT_Cubit and DII_Cubit, instead of tests/. Updated
        the README and Makefiles to reflect this. DII_Cubit is the
        handcrafted "original" Cubit example.

        * tests/Cubit/COOL: Added the COOL version of the Cubit test. The
        COOL version is written for Chorus COOL version 4.1.

Wed Oct 29 22:26:10 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (init): Fixed the error handling so we
        exit correctly when things go wrong.

        * tao/connect.cpp (open): Revised the code to use the new
        ACE_LACKS_SOCKET_BUFSIZ to detect when this feature isn't
        supported.

        * tao/{giop,connect}: Added a nifty typedef called TAO_SVC_HANDLER
        to remove the drudgery of expanding the template each time.

        * tao: Changed the name of TAO_OA_Connection_Handler to
        TAO_Server_Connection_Handler to be compliant with the
        TAO_Client_Connection_Handler.

Wed Oct 29 20:47:47 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h:
        Cleaned up the code.  Added ACE_Profile_Timer to time the calls.
        Changed copyright header.  Added more comments.

Wed Oct 29 18:55:57 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop: Added "_"'s to the data members in
        TAO_GIOP_Invocation.

        * tao/giop (send_request): Swaped the order of the parameters for
        send_request() so that it would be consistent with recv_request.

        * tao/{connect,giop}: Changed read_message() to recv_request(),
        and send_message() to send_request() since these things really
        work on GIOP requests.

        * tao/{connect,giop}: Changed read_message() to recv_message(),
        which is more like other parts of ACE.

        * tao/connect.cpp: Fixed the calls to read_message() and
        send_message() so that they don't try to modify "this."

        * tao/giop: Changed the send_message() and read_message() in the
        TAO_GIOP class to take ACE_Svc_Handler<ACE_SOCK_STREAM,
        ACE_NULL_SYNCH> rather than TAO_Client_Connection_Handler.

Wed Oct 29 17:53:12 1997    <irfan@CHA-CHA>

        * tao: Added TAO_HAS_TSS_ORB_CORE to tao and Cubit NT makefiles.
          This probably needs to be added to the other NT makefiles.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated files to pass the correct
          options to the factory.

Wed Oct 29 16:07:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop.*: Changed most methods that took ACE_SOCK_Stream&
        parameters to take TAO_Client_Connection_Handler*& parameters.
        This makes it easier to clean up properly after errors.  Also
        #ifdef'd out seemingly unused code (TAO_GIOP::incoming_message).
        Fixed call to ACE_Svc_Handler::idle() to not contain an argument.

        * docs/Options.html: Updated the documentation to reflect recent
        changes.

Wed Oct 29 15:59:30 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp: OO'ified the code. Added class
        Cubit_Client.
        * tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.h: added this file to contain  the class
        definition.

Wed Oct 29 11:01:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL compiler: be_type.cpp::nested_type_name: A quick commit
        made that includes an improvement over the previous scheme of
        generating ACE_NESTED_CLASS macros. We handle the problem of
        generating fully scoped names for types that were defined in some
        ancestor of the scope in which that type is being used.

        * Makefiles under TAO_IDL: Fixed a bug in the Makefiles under all
        the subdirectories. This bug was reported by "ARTURO MONTES"
        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co>. The bug was causing circular
        dependencies on the libraru that was getting compiled.

Wed Oct 29 06:17:36 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Must increase the loop
          counter.

Wed Oct 29 02:11:43 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.18, released Wed Oct 29 02:11:43 1997.

Wed Oct 29 00:56:26 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated documentation comments to
        reflect factory option changes.

        * tao/orbobj.*: Wiped argvec_shift and all its bugs off the face
        of the earth.  Manojkumar Acharya <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> should prove
        to be very happy about this turn of events. :-)

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Weeded out old, dead code here and there and
        migrated much of what had been in ORB_init() into
        TAO_ORB_Core::init().

        * tao/orb_core.*: Added methods init() and fini() which perform
        ORB Core-related initializations and cleanups, respectively.  This
        is all in anticipation of having a Unified Factory which provides
        ORB Core as well as other information.  Also began stubbing out
        and migrating various data members and associated accessors so
        that they are pointers rather than actual members.  The next step
        is to actually make them pointers and have everything get
        initialized properly and deterministically and keep everything
        working.

        * tao/{giop,orb_core}.cpp: Revised code due to recent changes in
        ACE related to the Caching connector.

        * tao/default_server.{h,cpp} (parse_args): This method now uses
        options of the style -ORBfoo rather than the previously-cryptic
        single-letter options.  This should allow us to eventually allow
        this same routine to parse args from the command line as well as
        inside the svc.conf file.  The price we pay for consistency,
        however, is verbosity to the point of insanity (e.g.,
        -ORBconcurrency...blech!)  These options are briefly documented in
        the method header as well as in subsequent svc.conf files.

        * tao/decode.cpp: Added some comments for arguments.

        * tao/connect.{h,cpp}: Moved Connector-related typedefs and
        corresponding template instantiations into the proper
        file--orb_core.*.

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (init): Moved much of what used to be
        ORB_init() into here.  Changed the manner in which objref style
        was determined--it's no longer via a special ORB name but rather
        by the -ORBobjrefstyle option which can have either the value
        "IOR" or "URL" (default is URL).

Tue Oct 28 21:15:36 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * build/SunOS5.5/TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit/clnt.cpp (main): Fixed the
        code so that if you give incorrect parameters the program exits
        cleanly, rather than segfaulting.

Tue Oct 28 20:49:28 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop.cpp (start): NT Access Violation error, AGAIN! Added
          codes to reset this->handler_ so that
          ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy won't complain.

Tue Oct 28 19:19:05 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/{be_state.cpp, be_union.cpp, be_struct.cpp}: Added code
        that will generate the ACE_NESTED_CLASS macro

        *TAO_IDL/be/be_type.cpp: Implemented be_type::nexted_type_name
        that will generate the ACE_NESTED_CLASS macro. However, this may
        not be completely correct at this point because we want to see if
        teh compiler fails for types defined in some ancestor and whose
        fully scoped names are generated .

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp: Added code that will generate the
        _bind call on the interface class.

        * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added the _bind call in clnt.cpp. Improved
        the README file.

        *MAXNAMELEN : There was a clash with TAO_CodeGen::MAXNAMELEN. So
        it has been substituted by NAMEBUFSIZE as a macro in be_codegen.h

Mon Oct 27 22:22:22 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be_decl.cpp: Added a ptr () function to the _var classes
        hat returns the underlying ptr_ data member. This ptr () member
        function is now used to pass a pointer type to constructor and
        assignment operator from a T_var class.

        * TAO_IDL/be_state.cpp: Important changes related to generation of
        return values of operations in the stubs. In addition, an & was
        missing for passing string types. Some additional bugs arising out
        of operations with void return type have been fixed.

        * ./tests/IDL_Cubit: This test has been modified to include a
        factory interface that reads a key for the cubit object and
        produces an obj reference for Cubit. In addition, a preliminary
        version of the _bind call has been tested with IDL_Cubit.

        *MAXNAMELEN : Carlos informed me that MAXNAMELEN was a small
        constant on some platforms. This has been changed to
        TAO_CodeGen::MAXNAMELEN with a value of 100.

Mon Oct 27 22:07:58 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_array.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_helper.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sequence.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_structure.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_union.cpp:
          Set this->cli_stub_gen_ to I_TRUE once the code has been
          emitted.

Mon Oct 27 19:34:08 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_exception.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_enum.cpp:
          Set this->cli_stub_gen_ to I_TRUE at the end.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_typedef.cpp:
          Set the state to TAO_CodeGen::TAO_TYPEDEF_CH instead of just
          struct.

Mon Oct 27 15:22:24 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@polka.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h:
        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_factory.h:
        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_state.h:
        * tao/iioporb.cpp:
        * tao/marshal.cpp:
        * tao/optable.cpp:
        * tao/optable.h:
        * tao/singletons.h:
        The ACE_Singleton lock type needs to be changed from
        ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX (or ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX) ACE_SYNCH_RECURSIVE_MUTEX.
        ACE handles those more efficiently for its singletons.  Change
        suggested by David Levine.

Mon Oct 27 11:59:51 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbconf.h: Made it so _FAR is defined all the time.  Thanks
        to Manojkumar Acharya <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> for reporting this.

Sun Oct 26 22:18:01 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.17, released Sun Oct 26 22:18:01 1997.

Sun Oct 26 17:53:25 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * {tao,tests}/Makefile: Commented out the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE in
        these Makefiles since it is going away anyhow and is confusing...

        * tests/IDL_Cubit/svc.conf,
          tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf:
        Changed the default concurrency policy to be reactive so that
        things work correctly if TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE.  Thanks to Sumedh
        for pointing this out.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Put the TAO_DEFAULT_SERVER_PORT into
        ACE's OS.h file and used it in TAO.

Sun Oct 26 15:07:18 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/params.h: Eliminated forward decls of the now-defunct ROA
        class.

        * tao/orb_core.h (TAO_DEFAULT_PORT): Added manifest constant for
        default port.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): Eliminated ugly anonymous constant
        use for hbuf's size.  Utilized manifest constant for default port.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Changed calls to
        TAO_Client_Connection_Handler::in_use() to call the underlying
        Svc_Handler::idle().

        * tao/connect.{h,i}: Eliminated in_use() flags because they're no
        longer needed with the new Strategy Connector.

        * tao/iioporb.cpp (string_to_object): Removed setting of the orb
        in the underlying CORBA::Object because it's no longer there.

        * tao/object.{h,i} (CORBA_Object): Eliminated the pointer to an orb
        within this object.  This should help solve some problems in
        passing object references across the wire.

        * tao/connect.cpp: Added template instantiations for
        ACE_Hash_Map_Iterator to reflect Irfan's recent changes.

        * tests/IDL_Cubit/README: Updated documentation on the server to
        reflect current reality.

Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Redid the template specialization of Hash_Addr
        to account for the new changes.

Sun Oct 26 01:05:36 1997    <nw1@COYOTE>

        * tao/corba.h: Changed from using Strategies_T.h to Strategies.h.

        * tao/connect.h: Removed a template argument form ACE_Hash_Addr.
          Removed explicit instantiation of compare_i.

        * tao/connect.cpp:  Removed a template argument from explicit
          instantiation of ACE_Hash_Addr.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp (main): Added a simple class
          ACE_Winsock_proper_shutdown here to shutdown winsock properly.
          This class should be removed later once we figure out how to
          close down winsock properly from ACE.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Changed the name of shared object from
          libTAO to TAO.  Added configuration lines for using debug
          version of TAO library on NT.

Sun Oct 26 01:47:04 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (tc_name2long):
        Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop,

        for variable slen.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_helper.h (class TAO_OutStream):
        Made destructor virtual; we have virtual member functions.

        * TAO_IDL/util/utl_scope.cpp (lookup_primitive_type):

Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.16, released Sun Oct 26 01:01:32 1997.

Sun Oct 26 00:32:29 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Reverted a change that Carlos had
        overwritten.  I guess he's not getting enough sleep these
        days... ;-)

Sun Oct 26 00:31:38 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/orb_core.i (hash_i): Redid the specialization in view of the
          new changes.

Sat Oct 25 18:14:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (be_interface): Worked around a
        nasty MSVC++ compiler bug that doesn't like CORBA::Object
        (object_ptr).  So we use an existing ACE macro for this.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (be_interface): Fixed yet another
        round of uninitialized data members.  It is clear that the
        original authors of this code wouldn't pass my ugrad programming
        course...

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll (idl_parse_line_and_file): Had to make a minor
        change to skip over the #line directive from Microsoft.  In
        addition, had to add some code to put Microsoft-style pathnames
        into a canonical form (i.e., replacing = '\\' with '\').  Thanks
        to Darrell for helping with this.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Added a new rule to handle the fact
        that the Microsoft C++ preprocessor generates tags of the
        form

        #line 1 "bar.idl"

        rather than

        #1 "bar.idl"

        which is what UNIX C++ compilers seem to do.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (compute_fullname, compute_flatname):
        Fixed a nasty bug where the original author thought new always
        returned 0'd memory...  Sheesh!

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Changed fd < 0 to fd ==
        ACE_INVALID_HANDLE to be more portable.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (be_decl): There were two fields,
        flatname_ and repoID_, that weren't given initial values of 0.
        Thanks to Purify for finding this!

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.{yy,ll}: Replaced all uses of type names <name>
        (e.g., FLOAT) with IDL_<name> (e.g., IDL_FLOAT) so that the code
        won't bomb on lame systems like NT that typedef basic types to all
        capitals (e.g., typedef float FLOAT).

Sat Oct 25 22:28:42 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Since yytext may be an "unsigned char*" under
          HP-UX they define an "alias" __yytext. This hack fails miserably
          when using flex, since then the yytext thing can change on the
          fly. I use an inline function instead.  Added support for #line
          preprocessor directives.

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Documented some of my changes
          for NT, namely the fact that unlinking the output file while
          still open causes the parsing to fail on NT.

        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp: Added new folders for source files, header
          files, template files, etc. I modelled this based on the ACE
          project files.

Sat Oct 25 22:05:43 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_constant.cpp (exprtype_to_string):
        Added case statements to handle the rest of un-handled
        enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType.  These will
        handle a default value (i.e. the same case as
        AST_Expression::EV_none).

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (operator==):
        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (compare):
        Make the default return value I_FALSE instead of NULL which
        was  giving "lacks a cast" warning.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (fill_definition_details):
        Use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the
        member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids
        implicit (void *) conversions warnings.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (eval_symbol):
        Initialized pointers to 0.

Sat Oct 25 17:45:17 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Fixed the same bug that Sumedh
        fixed. In addition, ACEified the calls to strcat and strcmp in
        that file.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll: Used %array in the defintion section so that
        flex uses yytext as an array of characters rather than pointer to
        char. The pointer case was resulting in a segmentation fault due
        to lack of memory allocation for the yytext variable. However, we
        choose to use the array approach to be compatile with "lex"
        behavior.

Sat Oct 25 1997  Sumedh Mungee  <sumedh@lindy.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp: Fixed proper tmp filename
        creation.

Sat Oct 25 14:14:53 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@MILONGA>

        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsw:
        * TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp:
          Added a MSVC++ project file for the IDL compiler, needs several
          revisions byt the NT experts before shipping, but it has served
          me well.

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_fork.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_preproc.cpp:
          We use ACE components to fork&exec subprocesses, get the default
          TMP directory and generate protable pathnames.
          In one case the mapping to NT is not clear: the use case is fork
          to get a "fresh" copy of the process and provide a unit of
          protection for the parent; this feature is only used if more
          than one IDL file is compiled at the same time.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp:
          Fixed minor bug, it said "second - I_FALSE;", it should be
          "second = I_FALSE

Sat Oct 25 06:22:03 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.yy: I got errors parsing the idl.yy thru
        bison. There were errors indicating "type clash on default action".

        This had to do with the fact that the non-terminal "type_dcl" did not
        have any type defined for it, but it had "struct_type", "union_type"
        and others on the right-hand side of the rules. The default action of
        YACC is supposed to assign1 to. So the type for "struct_type"
        that happened to be a AST_Decl node was getting assigned to the
        non-terminal "type_dcl" who had no type.

        I am very surprised that the "yacc" on our Sparcs never ever gave this
        error, but bison did.

        Hence I have modified idl.yy slightly so that I have {$$ = 0;} as the
        default action. In addition, the non-terminal "type_dcl" is now
        defined to be of type "ival" which is defined as long inside the
        %union clause.

        Above all, the bison generated files required some prototypes. So I
        had to add the following to idl.yy in the declarations section.

        int yylex (void);
        void yyerror (char *);
        extern "C" yywrap (void);

        Somehow, this yywrap had to be under extern "C". I don't know why the
        others need not be under extern "C".


Sat Oct 25 00:05:05 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.15, released Sat Oct 25 00:05:05 1997.

Sat Oct 25 02:46:05 1997  Sergio Flores  <sergio@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/Makefile:
        Changed the YACC variable to use the bison compiler.
        Added "-y" to YFLAGS to make bison generate output files like yacc.
        Changed the LEX variable to use the flex parser instead of lex.
        These programs generate code that has less warnings and is better
        code in general.
        Added "-D_REENTRANT" to CPPFLAGS, to be able to eliminate the warnings
        in lex.yy.cpp.  This could also be fixed if we include "ace/ACE.h" at
        the beginning of lex.yy.cpp, but this file is generated with flex.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.yy:
        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
        for variable "AST_Decl *v".

        * TAO_IDL/fe/idl.ll (idl_atof):
        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
        for variable f and h.

        * TAO_IDL/include/idl.h:
        Added include file "ace/ACE.h".  This was necessary to eliminate
        warnings of implicit declarations, which were because the _REENTRANT
        flag was not defined.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp (AST_Operation):
        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
        eliminate warnings from the compiler.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_operation.cpp (fe_add_exceptions):
        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning,
        for variable fs.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_interface.cpp (AST_Interface):
        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to

        enumerations from AST_Expression::ExprType.  These will
        handle a default value (i.e. the same case as
        AST_Expression::EV_none).  Enumerations added are:
        AST_Expression::EV_wstring
        AST_Expression::EV_wchar
        AST_Expression::EV_longdouble
        AST_Expression::EV_ulonglong
        AST_Expression::EV_longlong

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (AST_Expression):
        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
        eliminate warnings from the compiler.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_decl.cpp (AST_Decl):
        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
        eliminate warnings from the compiler.
        Also, use 0 instead of NULL to initialize pointers in the
        member initialization list, again to avoid ANSI C++ forbids
        implicit (void *) conversions warnings.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (dump):
        Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop,
        to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed"

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (compute_dims):
        Added "unsigned" to index variable "i" used in for() loop,
        to avoid warning "comparison between unsigned and signed"

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (AST_Array):
        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
        eliminate warnings from the compiler.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_declarator.cpp (FE_Declarator):
        Reordered member initializers to match declaration order to
        eliminate warnings from the compiler.

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_main.cpp (DRV_drive):
        Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG macro to avoid unused variable warning.

        * TAO_IDL/ast/ast_recursive.cpp (AST_illegal_recursive_type):
        Initialized pointer variables to avoid warnings.

Fri Oct 24 19:18:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao: Changed remaining uses of BOA to POA.

        * cubit_i.cpp (please_exit): Replaced the call to
        please_shutdown() on the POA (which no longer exists) with the
        shutdown() call on the ORB.

        * tests/IDL_Cubit/svr.cpp: Removed

        oa_ptr->clean_shutdown (env);

        since this is no longer supported in TAO's POA.

        * tao/poa.h: Changed the get_boa() method to get_poa().  Even this
        will probably go away soon.

Fri Oct 24 18:25:00 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tao/svrrqst.cpp: Method params was allocating memory even
        when the Any's already had memory allocated for the IN and INOUT
        parameters. Due to this the params would retrieve results in the
        allocated storage whereas the stubs/skeletons would continue to
        use variables that they had defined to hold the values.

Fri Oct 24 17:33:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/poa.*: #ifdef'd out the IIOP 1.4 references to shutdown.
        I'm leaving them in there right now because they might be useful
        as private member later when we need to figure out how to get OAs
        to cooperate and shut themselves down in the face of an ORB
        shutdown.

        * tao/orbobj.h (shutdown): Fixed up documentation.

        * tao/orbobj.i (shutdown): Provided appropriate arg default.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Eliminated unnecessary Object Adapter
        name from POA_init() invocation.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit): Revised to use
        the new ORB::shutdown() method.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp: Got rid of IIOP 1.4-style debug
        message calls.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB::ORB_init): Corrected a heinous
        problem in the option parsing loop where argvec_shift() would be
        asked to shift two argv elements when there was only one.  This
        could cause problems if an option that required an argument didn't
        include the argument.  Thanks to Manojkumar Acharya
        <cvsf325.gpt.co.uk> for sending in a bug report that lead to my
        finding this!

Fri Oct 24 14:08:12  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Improved the compiler to make Unions work. The most subtle error
        was the way the private section of the class for unions was being
        generated. TAO's Typecode library expected the union members to be
        inside of a C++  union declaration inside the private
        section. Whereas the compiler was generating each member
        separately.

        Another source of error was bad typecode tables getting
        generated. This is now fixed.

        * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: The cubit_i.cpp for cube_union was doing
        wrong calculations for structs. This was due to my copy-paste
        tendency and not verifying if it was correct or not. This has been
        fixed. The README file is updated to reflect the fact that this
        directory contains code that uses the IDL compiler.

Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.14, released Fri Oct 24 01:54:00 1997.

Fri Oct 24 01:02:01 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * clnt.cpp: Removed mysterious obsolete definitions of
        cube_union_stub() and cube_union_dii().

        * be_state.h: Added definitions for the methods in class
        be_state_attribute.  For some reason, they were missing.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_state.cpp: Added the necessary template
        specializations so that the TAO IDL compiler will work with GCC.

Thu Oct 23 22:46:10 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO IDL Compiler: More progress in terms of getting the Cubit
        example to work with the IDL generated code. However, we are still
        finding some problems with using the client-side cubit_union_dii
        to work properly.

        Much of the improvements were to the server-side skeletons for
        operations. In addition, code for union constructors, assignment
        operator, and accessor for discriminant added.

        Some bugs in typecode generation are fixed. This had to do with
        the encapsulation length for predefined types. It was returning -1
        as opposed to 0.

        * TAO/tests/IDL_Cubit: Added this directory with the cubit
        example. Use this to test the IDL compiler. The makefile will
        invoke the IDL compiler to create the required files.

Thu Oct 23 18:34:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/*/Makefile: Fixed the Makefiles so that it has the correct
        files and dependencies.  Thanks to Steven Wohlever
        <wohlever@mitre.org> for reporting this.

Wed Oct 22 20:02:39 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * README.sun: Added an explicit reminder at the top that the
        information in this file is historical in nature and does not
        necessarily apply to current reality.

        * tao/orbobj.* (shutdown): Added code to the run() event loop so
        that it will terminate when it finds a flag set.  This involved
        adding the flag to the ORB's state and minimally implementing the
        shutdown() method.  The shutdown method still does not honor the
        "wait for completion" flag which can be passed to it, though.

        * README: Updated the season from "summer" to "Fall" ;-) Also
        added a note that warned people not to try to link TAO with a
        version of ACE that's linked with another ORB library, e.g.,
        liborbix.so.  Thanks to Steven Wohlever <wohlever@mitre.org> for
        bringing this instructional omission to our attention.

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made the body of
        this function conditional on the TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP
        preprocessor definition since it doesn't need to exist in
        platforms that grok the Service Configurator.  This will also
        reduce the memory footprint :-).  Thanks to David Miron
        <dxm@crapper.dsto.defence.gov.au> for pointing this out!

        * tao/orb_core.cpp (TAO_ORB_Core): Removed explicit CTOR
        initialization of reactor_ member.

Wed Oct 22 19:37:22 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO IDL Compiler: Improvements made so that the server-side
        skeletons for operations now generate valid code. The code
        generated for the Cubit.idl was compiling cleanly. It is under
        test currently to see if it runs.

        * Some progress in handling forward declarations of interfaces.

Wed Oct 22 12:55:19 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tao/poa.h:  Added ACE_Svc_Export to class CORBA_POA.

        * tao/TAO.{mdp,mak}:  Updated files in project file.

        * tao/TAO.dsp: Removed boa, Orb_Core and added poa, orb_core to
          the project file.

Tue Oct 21 17:21:51 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html: Updated to reflect daily
        progress.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/Makefile: Updated dependencies.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Updated to eliminate empty quotes at
        the end that tickled a deficiency in the Service Configurator's
        grammar.

        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Updated to reflect POA_init change.

        * tests/Thruput_test/Makefile: Modified to reflect filename
        changes.

        * tests/Thruput_test/server.cpp: Changed type of argv so that it
        matched properly.

        * tao/boa.*: Renamed to tao/poa.*.

        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Renamed to tao/orb_core.*.

        * tao/{Makefile,corba.h,default_client.cpp,default_server.cpp,orb.h,orbobj.cpp,params.h}:
        Modified to reflect filename changes.

Tue Oct 21 13:23:48 1997 Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/connect.i: Moved hash_i and compare_i template
          specialization to Orb_Core.i.  Original code was left comment
          out until this mod is checked on all platforms.

        * tao/Orb_Core.i: Added hash_i and compare_i code from connect.i.

Tue Oct 21 03:23:29 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Orb_Core.cpp: Removed conditional inclusion of Orb_Core.i
          since, according to corba.h, it is always included as an inline
          function file.

Tue Oct 21 02:24:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.13, released Tue Oct 21 02:24:14 1997.

Mon Oct 20 23:42:48 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/boa: Changed BOA_init() to POA_init() to be
          more consistent...

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp,
          tests/TAO/Thruput_test/server.cpp,
          tests/TAO/Thruput_test/ttcpS.cpp,
          tests/TAO/RT_test/Task_Client.cpp,
          tests/TAO/RT_test/cubit_impl.cpp,
          tests/TAO/multiCubit/cubitS.cpp,
          tests/TAO/multiCubit/svr.cpp,
          tests/TAO/Demux_Test/server.cpp,
          tests/TAO/Demux_Test/CodeGen/skel.cpp,
          tests/TAO/MT-Cubit/client/Task_Client.cpp,
          tests/TAO/MT-Cubit/server/cubitS.cpp,
          tests/TAO/MT-Cubit/server/svr.cpp,
          tests/TAO/cubitS.cpp,
          tests/TAO/svr.cpp,
          tests/TAO/test1_svr.cpp: Changed BOA to POA to reflect the
          new naming conventions.

        * tao/stub.i (STUB_Object): Removed a stray default value from the
        STUB_Object constructor...  Thanks to Carlos for noticing this.

MOn Oct 20 10:14:09 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Improved version of the TAO IDL compiler. The executable has
        been renamed to tao_idl. There are a number of improvements as
        well as shortcomings. These are explained in the
        docs/releasenotes/index.html page, which can be viewed online at
        http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/releasenotes/.

Mon Oct 20 16:30:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Based the
        arguments to the faked server service entry for VxWorks on the
        TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE compilation flag.  This should hopefully
        eliminate the problems Boeing was seeing in the early rounds of
        testing the most recent release of TAO.

        * tao/{iiopobj.*,giop.h}: Moved a lock that had been in
        TAO_GIOP_Invocation (why?  I don't know) into IIOP_Object.  It
        protects the fwd_profile_ pointer, which has now become private.
        Also added accessors for the data member as well as the lock.
        Accessors come in two flavors--thead-safe (fwd_profile()) and
        non-thread-safe (fwd_profile_i()).  The non-thread-safe variety
        expect that the lock will be taken and held for the duration of
        their usage, but no checking is performed in this respect.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Changed references to the IIOP_Object::fwd_profile
        data member to go through the new accessors (see above).

        * tao/stub.i: Created new file with inline methods for
        STUB_Object.

        * tao/stub.h: Moved inline method definitions into a new
        file--stub.i.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (BOA_init): Eliminated dead code and unused
        variable.

        * tao/except.cpp (print_exception): Eliminated unused argument
        warning detected by gcc.

        * tao/corba.h: Re-ordered inclusion of Orb_Core.i to eliminate
        'function used before declared inline' errors detected by gcc.

        * tao/{Orb_Core,boa,corbacom,orb,orbobj,svrrqst}.*: Renamed BOA to
        POA.

        * docs/releasenotes*: Moved releasenotes.html into a directory
        named "releasenotes" so that the various status pages can live
        independently.  Currently only the ORB Core's status page is
        broken out, but the documentation should eventually turn into two
        frames with the one at the top acting as the guide and the lower
        frame being the actual status document.

Fri Oct 17 17:42:27 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes.html: Updated to reflect current status.

        * tao/orbobj.*: Added some documentation for open() method.

        * tao/roa.*: Gone.  Bye-bye.  Removed.

Fri Oct 17 15:43:04 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tao/connect.h: Added template instantiation supression directive
          for Win32.  VC was complaining about duplicate symbols definition.

Fri Oct 17 06:25:23 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{boa,roa}.*: Merged class ROA into class
        CORBA_BOA. Hopefully everything still works ;-)

        * docs/releasenotes.html: Quick update for new TODO list.  Will be
        updated within the next day or so with dates, too.

        * tao/{server_factory,orbobj,Orb_Core}.cpp: Corrected incorrect
        explicit template instantiations and added missing ones.

Thu Oct 16 23:48:04 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.12, released Thu Oct 16 23:48:04 1997.

Thu Oct 16 11:15:00 1997  Brian R. Mendel <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/server_factory.cpp: Added instantiation pragma for VxWorks for
          ACE_Acceptor.  Added the template to the specialization section, also.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added instantiation pragma for VxWorks for
          ACE_Cached_Connect_Strategy and ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for
          ACE_Null_Mutex instantiations.  Also, added these to the template
          specialization sections.

        * tests/Cubit/Build/default.bld: Added TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP
          to defines section of GHS build file.

Tue Oct 14 21:11:20 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/xdr.h: Changed int _fd to ACE_HANDLE _fd to work on NT.
          Thanks to Satheesh Kumar <satheesh@aspectdv.com> for reporting
          this.

Tue Oct 14 02:48:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.11, released Tue Oct 14 02:48:21 1997.

Mon Oct 13 23:30:16 1997    <irfan@TWOSTEP>

        * tao/connect.h: If we are using TSS, there is no reason to use
          locking in the connector. Therefore, I added a new typedef that
          defines the type of lock that should be used for the
          cached_connect_strategy.  It is ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX in the
          non-TSS case, and ACE_SYNCH_NULL_MUTEX in the TSS case.

Mon Oct 13 21:34:00 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/svrrqst.cpp (oa): Cleaned up the coding style a bit.

Sun Oct 12 15:38:35 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/client_factory: Gutted the client factory code related to
          the Strategy_Connector so that it's either in the TAO_Orb_Core.

        * tao/default_client.h: Removed the connector() from the
          Default_Client_Factory entirely since it's all been put into the
          TAO_ORB_Core now.

        * tao/giop.cpp (start): Hacked up the code so that we extract our
          connector from thread-specific storage if we're using the
          thread-per-rate concurrency model.  This needs to be integrated
          more cleverly in the ORB.

        * tao/orbobj.h: Put an instance of the TAO_CONNECTOR into each
          TAO_ORB_Core object so that we don't have to share these things
          among all of the threads in a process, but instead can have them
          be located in thread-specific storage.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (perform_work): Updated the run() and
          perform_work() methods to take optional ACE_Time_Value *'s (so
          they can return from timeouts) and to return error flags if
          things go wrong.

        * tao/orbobj.h (CORBA_ORB): Changed the set_up_for_listening()
          call to open(), which is more consistent with other usage in
          ACE/TAO.

        * tao/orbobj: Changed the name client_acceptor_ to peer_acceptor_
          to reflect the fact that the connection model is more generic
          than the notion of client/server interactions (which really take
          place as the result of particular communication roles).

        * tao/corba.h: Moved the order of #includes around so that
          "connect.h" is included before "client_factory.h"

        * tao/connect.h: Moved the typedef of the ACE_Strategy_Connector<>
          from the TAO_Client_Strategy_Factory into the global space and
          renamed it TAO_CONNECTOR file so that it will be equivalent with
          the TAO_ACCEPTOR.

Thu Oct  9 23:17:37 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop.cpp (invoke): If an error occurs, make sure to mark the
          handler_ as no longer being in use before we set it to 0.

        * tao/giop.cpp (TAO_GIOP_Invocation): We need to make sure that
          handler_ isn't 0 before we mark it as no longer being in use.

Thu Oct  9 11:33:46 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/giop.cpp:
          There was a minor sintax error.

Tue Oct 07 09:34:35 1997    <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/Orb_Core.h{cpp}: Added ACE_Svc_Export label to global
        TAO_ORB_Core_instance() method.  Needed for DLL support on NT.i

        * default.bld, tao.bld: Modified VxWorks build files to add new files.

Tue Oct 07 07:05:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.10, released Tue Oct 07 07:05:38 1997.

Mon Oct 06 22:11:40 1997    <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubit_i.cpp (Cubit_please_exit):
        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit): Changed to use the new
          TAO_ORB_CORE_instance () global function.

Mon Oct  6 20:06:05 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{boa.h,connect.cpp,giop.cpp,giop.h,roa.cpp,roa.h}:
        Eliminated unused methods and code.

        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Created new global function called
        TAO_ORB_Core_instance() which will return the correct instance of
        the ORB Core state.  This had previously been accessed using
        TAO_ORB_CORE::instance(), but Win32s linking procedures made the
        template for TAO_ORB_CORE expand in both the application and the
        library/DLL, thus creating two singletons.  Bad scene.  The
        function should force the expansion of the template to only be in
        the DLL.

        * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,orbobj,roa}.cpp:
        Changed references to TAO_ORB_CORE::instance() to
        TAO_ORB_Core_instance().

        * tao/singletons.h: Removed definition of TAO_ORB_CORE.

Sat Oct  4 20:08:57 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/TAO.{dsp,dsw}: Added tao_internals.cpp into project file
          list.

        * tao/tao_internals.h (TAO_Internal): Added ACE_Svc_Export and
          I d.

        * tao/tao_internals.i (open_services): Added default return value
          0.

        * tao/tao_internals.cpp: Added #include "tao/tao_internals.h" and
          the CVS I d field.  Also, we should include inline (.i) file
          for inline code.

Fri Oct  3 09:29:05 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Changed the key naming scheme back to
        not be unique throughout the process.  Process-unique code is
        still there, but conditionally compiled mutually-exclusive to the
        other scheme.

        * tao/server_factory.*: The object_lookup_strategy method is gone
        and is replaced by the create_object_table factor method.  See
        more information below.

        * tao/default_server.*: The server factory no longer holds on to a
        single pointer for the object lookup strategy.  In previous
        incarnations of TAO, this didn't cause problems, but the advent of
        ORB-per-thread highlighted the inherent badness in this
        implementation choice.  Gone is the object_lookup_strategy method,
        and in comes the create_object_table factory method, which creates
        and returns (and doesn't hold onto) an object table in accordance
        with parameters such as size and search algorithm.

        * tao/roa.cpp: Changed to use the create_object_table method.

Thu Oct  2 13:48:31 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Modified the key generation scheme to
        include thread ID.  This works around a current shortcoming in the
        ORB Core in which the object table is shared throughout all object
        adapters (yes, this is being fixed).

        * tao/tao_internals.*: Added new class to scope static operations
        and data completely internal to the ORB.

        * tao/orbobj.{i,cpp}: Moved CORBA_ORB DTOR into cpp file.  Finally
        got rid of icky static mutex in ORB_init().  Moved service config
        initialization into TAO_Internal method.

        * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added comments.

Wed Oct  1 12:51:48 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/corbacom.h: Removed CORBA:: name resolution from the class
          String_out which is itself defined in class CORBA.  MSVC doesn't
          like that.

Wed Oct  1 10:44:55 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/varout.h: Fixed some template errors in class
        TAO_Object_out. This was pointed to me by Carlos as he was
        compiling TAO in SGI.

Wed Oct  1 09:10:38 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes.html:
          Updated information on the Event Channel, the use of the Naming
          Service is no longer a plan, it is done already.

Tue Sep 30 20:14:29 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.9, released Tue Sep 30 20:14:29 1997.

Tue Sep 30 19:42:09 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile: Removed "docs" from DIRS so we don't try to run
        make in this directory.

Tue Sep 30 17:27:00 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * <RELEASE>: Tagged a release for limited consumption until the
        Service Configurator bug is fixed.

        * tests/multiCubit/svr.cpp: Added code to properly release CORBA
        objects.  Delays between task activations simply aid in debugging
        and are not necessary.

        * tao/singletons.h: Made TAO_ORB_Core's singleton type
        compile-time selectable via the TAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE compiler flag.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected an incorrect shift count, and the ORB
        Core now defaults to using the host name of the local host.

        * tao/Orb_Core.[hi]: Added explicit CTOR.

        * tao/Orb_Core.cpp: Insured that the correct template type was
        instantiated.

        * tao/Makefile: Added -DTAO_HAS_TSS_ORBCORE to CPPFLAGS.

Tue Sep 30 16:43:12 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes.html: Added some notes on the ORB Core.

Mon Sep 29 14:39:51 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/{index,components,releasenotes}.html: Added additional
        documentation.

Mon Sep 29 13:50:34 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO ORB changes:

        any.*: Added _var and _out classes.

        corbacom.{h,i} : Added _out types for primitive types, added _out and
        updated _var classes for String. Added corbacom.i for implementing
        the String's _var and _out classes

        sequence.{h,i}: Added a number of templates for _var and _out
        classes. However, these are yet to be used and tested.

        * Alpha release of TAO IDL compiler added to this release. This is
        an alpha release and we are currently putting it to rigorous
        test. A large amount of code for the back end is added under the
        TAO/TAO_IDL/be_include and TAO/TAO_IDL/be/ directories.

        In addition, some amount of ACEification done to methods belonging
        to the TAO/TAO_IDL/utils/ classes.

        A few errors in the IDL grammar have been fixed in
        fe/idl.yy. These had to do with the valid types for parameters and
        operation return types. There are still some errors recognizing
        unions which will be fixed later. The scanner (fe/idl.l) was
        modified to recognize the OMG IDL data type "any".

        * The ChangeLog file under TAO/TAO_IDL is removed and its contents
        are inserted appropriately in this ChangeLog file

Sun Sep 28 17:01:27 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/multiCubit: Added a multi-threaded version of Cubit.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: At long last, Andy has his wish for not having
        to provide a "-ORBhost <me>" argument to a server.  It now uses
        ACE_OS::hostname() to determine the canonical hostname, and
        listens on that address.

        * tao/singletons.h: Changed the ORB Core singleton to be a TSS
        singleton; this will eventually be conditionally compiled in
        (before release).  Also added comments and "safety defines".

        * tao/except.cpp: Changed some usage of fputs() in
        print_exception() to use ACE_DEBUG.

Sun Sep 28 03:18:24 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@cumbia.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.h (Object): Changed references of base
          class from "CORBA::Object" to "CORBA_Object."  MSVC doesn't
          allow this.

        * tao/Orb_Core.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to TAO_Orb_Core class.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Added ACE_Svc_Export to all IID constants.
          Notice that we must put ACE_Svc_Export _after_ extern "C".

Sat Sep 27 09:31:42 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Orb_Core.h: Fixed the friend declaration for
        CORBA::ORB_init().

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svr.cpp: Modified to use ORB::run() for event
        loop and eliminated code cruft.

        * tao/orbobj.*: Added stubs for 4 methods on the ORB from the
        POA spec: work_pending, perform_work, run, and shutdown.  Of all
        of these, only run is reasonably implemented, and there not even
        according to the spec (because the way the spec works isn't really
        good for our purposes...need to work on that).  See the docs for
        information.

        Moved the initialization of the Acceptor into its own method,
        set_up_for_listening (which is a one-shot style method), and
        placed a call to this within the aforementioned run method.

        * tao/default_client.h: Miscellaneous comments added.

        * tao/connect.cpp: Corrected an errant ACE_DEBUG () call.

        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added private methods to allow setting of the
        orb and extended the laurel of friendship to CORBA::ORB_init().

Fri Sep 26 10:20:06 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.*: Added acceptor initialization code to CORBA_ORB
        CTOR.  (We still need to find a way to NOT do this on the client
        side.)  Moved CORBA_ORB CTOR into .cpp to avoid nasty
        interdependencies caused when it was in the .i file.  Moved the
        specification of host and port to be ORB parameters rather than OA
        parameters, i.e., -OAhost is now -ORBhost and -OAport is now
        -ORBport.

        * tao/roa.*: Removed server-side connection endpoint
        initialization (Acceptor stuff) and put it into the ORB.

        * tao/connect.h: Renamed ROA_Acceptor to TAO_Acceptor (since it's
        not related to the OA any longer), and restored explicit inclusion
        of ace headers to avoid having to include "corba.h".

        * tao/boa.h: Removed unneeded get_addr() method.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitS.cpp: Updates to support changes in ORB
        Core.

Thu Sep 25 12:28:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/params.*: Added explicit CTOR & DTOR for
        TAO_{OA,ORB}_Parameters classes that somehow got removed in the
        previous round of attacks.  Also specified all methods which go
        into the .i file as "LOCAL_INLINE" within the header.  This avoids
        having to unravel ugly, complex order interdependencies.

Thu Sep 25 03:48:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/Options.html: Terse documentation on options available for
        the abstract factories.

        * tao/Orb_Core.*: Added this class (TAO_ORB_Core) to hold the
        "state" of an ORB.  The intent is that as we move towards
        different concurrency models, this can be thrown into
        thread-specific storage and remain a singleton, essentially
        allowing the running of an ORB-per-thread.

        * tao/singletons.h: Added this file to contain type definitions
        for *ALL* ACE_Singleton<> types used within TAO.  This was
        motivated by a desire to eliminate the multitude of warnings
        generated by g++ regarding methods being called before declared
        inline, and the only way to eliminate this was to insure that all
        inlined methods were seen by the compiler before the
        ACE_Singleton<> definition.  Thus, corba.h includes singleton.h as
        the very last thing that it does.

        * tao/params.*: TAO_OA_Parameters is no longer a singleton, and
        because of new recognition of associations in the object model for
        an ORB, lots of data members and their methods have been shuffled
        to other places or eliminated.  addr() now belongs in
        TAO_ORB_Parameters, and root_poa_ is in TAO_ORB_Core.  The
        using_threads_, thread_flags_, upcall_, and forwarder_ members
        have been eliminated and their roles taken over by the Concurrency
        Strategies and the new Dispatch call chain implemented in my last
        round of changes.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Changed references to the ORB singleton to go
        through TAO_ORB_CORE::instance().  Also eliminated an unnecessary
        global function (_orb()).

        * tao/marshal.h: Moved all ACE_Singleton<> typedefs into
        singleton.h.  See comment on tao/corba.h for more information.

        * tao/iioporb.h: Removed unnecessary TAO_ORB singleton.  This is
        now assumed by TAO_ORB_Core instances.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Added CORBA::POA_ptr for upward compatibility.

        * tao/corba.h: Added Orb_Core.[hi] to the appropriate places.
        Moved iiop{orb,obj}.i inclusions around and moved typedef'ing of
        all ACE_Singletons into singletons.h, which must be #included
        AFTER all the inline files.  This eliminated all of the
        used-before-declared-inline warnings.

        * tao/{connect,default_client,default_server,roa}.*: Updated
        singleton usages to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated singleton usages
        to go through the TAO_ORB_CORE singleton.

Wed Sep 17 12:26:56 1997  Nanbor Wang  <nw1@CHA-CHA>

        * tao/TAO.dsp: Updated source file list.

Mon Sep 15 16:52:28 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{cubitS,cubit_i}.cpp: Updated references to oa()
        to root_pos().

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Corrected some adjustments made for Service
        Configurator rework.

        * tao/giop.h: Moved the def for TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile out of the
        range of valid GIOP messages.

        * tao/connect.cpp: Added special case for TAO_GIOP_Reply to break
        out, and distinguished TAO_GIOP_EndOfFile from other errors by
        setting errno.

        * tao/boa.cpp: The complete reply header is now stuck into the
        response stream...what a novel concept!

Fri Sep 12 05:40:50 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * params.h: Renamed oa() method to be root_poa() in preparation
        for the future.

        * orbobj.cpp: Adjusted the FAKE_SVC_ENTRY macro to catch up to
        recent changes in ACE.

        * giop.*: Major surgery including elimination of GIOP as a giant
        namespace (now only static methods are in it).  Changed names of
        things to TAO_*.

        * {encode,decode,iiopobj,invoke,roa}.*: Name changes resulting
        from giop.cpp surgery.

        * corbacom.h: Moved TAO_opaque decl into here.

        * corba.h: Re-ordered the inline #includes so that the stuff that
        is ALWAYS inlined is included prior to the stuff that's only
        inlined when __ACE_INLINE__ is turned on.

        * connect.*: Modified handle_input() substantially.  Added 3
        template methods: read_message, handle_message, and send_response.

        * {cdr,marshal,object,typecode}.h: Removed the old "always include
        inlines" hackery.

        * boa.*: Added handle_request() method.

Wed Sep 03 06:15:00 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/default_client.cpp:  Added conditional sections around the code for setting the
        socket options for VxWorks.  VxWorks does not support a 64K buffer size.

Tue Sep 02 18:32:12 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp:  Added include for Service_Repository.h to orbobj.h

        * tao/debug.cpp: Removed the TAO_NEEDS_UNUSED_VARIABLES #defines
        around the debug_stream declaration.  debug_stream is used by
        dmsg_filter in debug.cpp.  Changed SYSTEM_EXCEPTION to
        CORBA::SYSTEM_EXCEPTION.

        * tao/default_client.cpp: Removed extra parameter from
        ACE_Hash_Map_Entry #pragma instantiate statement.

        * tao/objtable.cpp: Deleted pragmas for instantiating ACE_Guard,
        ACE_Read_Guard, and ACE_Write_Guard to eliminate duplicate
        instantiations.  Also, removed the instantiations from
        ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION for the same reason.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added a typecast to void * in argvec_shift
        method.

        * tao/default.bld - Modified VxWorks Build File to change template
        instantiation modes.

        * tao/tao.bld - Added default_client.cpp, default_server.cpp,
        client_factory.cpp, and server_factory.cpp to the VxWorks build
        file.

        * tao/tao.dsp - Added default_client.cpp, default_server.cpp,
        client_factory.cpp, and server_factory.cpp to the Win NT project
        file.

Tue Sep  2 07:31:45 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (ORB_init): VxWorks doesn't use
        ACE_Service_Config for now; the default factories are used.  The
        Service Repository is still used, but the appropriate values are
        "stuffed" in manually.

Sat Aug 30 17:07:18 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Thruput: First attempt at ACEifying it and removing the
        tremendous amount of unnecessary stuff that was in there. This
        modified version still needs testing on other platforms.

Fri Aug 29 10:59:34 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Makefile (TAO_ROOT): FINALLY corrected the default
        definition of TAO_ROOT.

Thu Aug 28 14:04:44 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.i (CORBA_ORB): Removed assertion that was incorrect
        b/c our ORB object is a singleton and not dynamically allocated,
        thus the refcount can only reach zero at the end of its life.

        * tao/typecode.cpp (TC_Private_State): Relocated the delete of
        tc_discriminator_type_ to be after the deletion of the label list.
        This is because the discriminator will be inside each of the
        CORBA::Any instances within the label list, and deleting it before
        deleting the label list results in extreme badness.

        * tao/typecode.* (operator delete): Added CORBA_TypeCode::operator
        delete() to simplify deletion of both automatically and
        dynamically allocated instances of CORBA_TypeCode.  This fixes the
        problem of freeing non-heap memory.

        * tao/nvlist.h (CORBA_NamedValue): Initialized refcount_ in the
        CTOR.

Mon Aug 18 16:39:40 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Makefile for TAO compiler:
         (SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not
          work on all platforms, notably HP-UX.

Mon Aug 18 16:39:29 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Makefile:
        * tests/Demux_Test/CodeGen/Makefile:
         (SOEXT) must be used instead of just .so, the former does not
          work on all platforms, notably HP-UX.

Sun Aug 17 16:53:42 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/Orbeline/client/Profile_Timer.h:
        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.cpp:
        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.h:
        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.cpp:
        * IIOP/tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.h:
        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/base_server/Profile_Timer.h:
        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.cpp:
        * tests/Cubit/VisiBroker/client/Profile_Timer.h:
        We no longer use timestruct_t in ACE, it is a SYSVism; we use
        timespec_t instead.

Sat Aug 16 01:11:56 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/svc.conf: Added this as an example of an
        application's service config configuration file.  It also serves
        as the documentation for various strategy factory options at the
        moment.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Options parsed by the ORB are now
        -ORBsvcconf <filename>    specifies the service configurator
                                  file to be used
        -ORBdaemon                turn this into a daemon
        -ORBdebug                 turns debugging on in the service
                                  configurator

        BOA_init() now sets the itself in the TAO_OA_Parameters singleton.

        * tao/orbobj.*: Changed client_factory(), server_factory(), and
        params() to return pointers rather than references.

        * tao/{roa,giop}.cpp: Updated code that uses the
        CORBA::ORB::client_factory() to deal with the fact that it now
        returns a pointer rather than a reference.

        * tao/default_server.cpp (init): This method now properly
        initializes the contained reactive and threaded strategies so that
        they're actually usable!

        * tao/connect.cpp: Added #endif comments.

Wed Aug 13 17:42:39 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Converted to the CORBA:: namespace.

        * tao/default_server.h: Eliminated a few strategy accessors since
        they aren't provided by this implementation.

        * tao/default_server.cpp: Made this compile.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Slight reformatting of code.  More importantly,
        added 'static' to the decl of ORB_init().

        * tao/corba.h: Added fake comment to trigger C++ mode.

        * tao/any.h: Added #endif comments.

Tue Aug 12 22:37:06 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{any,typecode,cdr}.h: Finished appeasing the compiler gods
        so that we can remove the ACE_INLINE hack.  Things now seem to be
        in order.

        * tao/corba.h: Got all the frigging header *.i files #included in
        the right order so that the GCC compiler stops complaining.

        * tao/giop.cpp: We had method definitions that were defined inline
        within the giop.h file.  This was causing problems for GCC, which
        kept warning that methods in the cdi.i file were being used before
        being inlined.  I've fixed this by creating a giop.i file.

        * tao/corba.h: Add #include files should be prefixed by "tao/".
        I've fixed this in the release.

Tue Aug 12 16:23:17 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/any.i: Added a missing replace() method used by overloaded
        operators.

        * tao/{any,cdr}.h: Added conditional ACE_INLINE before the decl
        for a few methods whose usage in other inlined methods appears
        prior to their definition.

        * tao/default_client.cpp: Eliminated names of unused arguments to
        stop the compiler from complaining.

        * tao/server_factory.cpp: Properly scoped return type names for
        several methods.

        * tao/{typecode,decode,deep_copy,debug}.cpp: Bracketed unused
        variables with #if defined(TAO_NEEDS_UNUSED_VARIABLES)/#endif;
        this leaves them around for right now in case they're important.

        * tao/client_factory.i (connector): Properly scoped return type's
        name.

        * tao/{client_factory,default_client}.cpp: Added necessary
        template instantiations.

        * tao/{typecode,cdr}.h: Added conditional ACE_INLINE in front of
        inlined methods to appease the compiler gods.

        * tao/boa.cpp (dispatch): Declared argument unused to get rid of
        warnings.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Moved #include of sequence.h before the decl for
        class CORBA.

Sun Aug 10 10:58:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/client_factory: Moved the template specializations from the
        *.cpp file into the *.i file in order to get this stuff to link
        without multiply defined symbols.  Thanks to Brian Mendel for
        giving me the idea to do this.

        * tao/client_factory.cpp: Added a template specialization for
        ACE_Hash_Addr.

Sun Aug 10 08:56:20 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * CORBA_ to CORBA:: transformation complete. All the files in the
        TAO/tao distribution have been affected. The most notable changes
        are:
        (1) A file called "tao/corba.h" is now the master file. All *.cpp
        files include *just* this file and nothing else.

        (2) "tao/corbacom.h" is the file that defines the CORBA namespace
        i.e., class CORBA. Individual CORBA classes such as TypeCode, BOA,
        etc are now defined inside the CORBA namespace. This will allow
        users and developers to use CORBA::TypeCode as opposed to the
        previous CORBA_TypeCode. Instead of nesting the classes, however,
        we use typedefs to define individual CORBA classes inside class
        CORBA e.g., typedef CORBA_TypeCode TypeCode;

        (3) All *.i files are included at the end of "tao/corba.h" and
        nowhere else. However, if __ACE_INLINE__ isnot defined, then each
        individual *.i file is not yet included in their corresponding
        .cpp file. This will be done next.

        * TAO/tests/Demux_Test: Included code that tests various
        demultiplexing strategies in TAO. At this point, however, the code
        will not work because of changes in TAO. This will be done
        next. A README file provides additional details.

        * TAO/Benchmark: A suite of benchmarking tests have been
        included. This is still in the preliminary stages of
        development. The idea is to compare various aspects of CORBA such
        as marshaling overhead, demux costs, throughput, latency, and
        others for a range of ORBs including TAO. Since there are
        differences in programming different ORBs, this suite tries to
        abstract out all the common features or atleast provide a uniform
        interface so that minimal efforts are required to port an
        application from one ORB to another.

        Benchmark/benchmark: This directory contains thecommon features
        Benchmark/Marshal_Test: Tests marshaling overhead in 3 ORBs -
        Orbix, VisiBroker, and TAO. More will be added. There are a few
        problems getting DSI to work. The tech support at IONA and
        VisiBroker have been contacted.

Sat Aug  9 14:05:08 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao: Continued to clean up all the code so that it is more
          consistent with ACE programming style.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Cleaned up a lot of the unnecessary #defines.

        * tao/default_server.h: Make sure we inherit from
          TAO_Server_Strategy_Factory, not TAO_Server_Factory.

        * tao/server_factory.cpp: Moved all the inline methods to be
          non-inline since this code will always be dynamically bound.

        * tao/client_factory.cpp: Cleaned things up a bit.

Sat Aug  9 12:37:05 1997  Brian Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/corba.h:  Deleted include for xdr.h from corba.h.  xdr.h
        is obsolete.

        * tao/objtable.cpp:  Deleted pragmas for instantiating ACE_Guard,
        ACE_Read_Guard, and ACE_Write_Guard to eliminate duplicate
        instantiations.  The templates are instantiated by ACE.  Can these
        templates also be removed from the
        ACE_HAS_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION section as well?

        * tao/default.bld: Added build file for VxWorks.

        * tao/tao.bld: Added build file for VxWorks.

Fri Aug  8 14:25:20 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.*: Updated various methods to use the new
        dynamically-linked strategy factories discussed below.

        * tao/default_client.*: This file now contains the default client
        strategy factory which is (a) dynamically linkable by the service
        configurator and (b) can be configured by flags passed in via
        service configurator.

        * tao/client_factory.*: This file now contains the abstract base
        class for the client strategy factory.

        * tao/default_server.*: This file now contains the default server
        strategy factory which is (a) dynamically linkable by the service
        configurator and (b) can be configured by flags passed in via
        service configurator.

        * tao/server_factory.*: This file now contains the abstract base
        class for the server strategy factory.

        * tao/params.*: Renamed DEMUX_STRATEGY enum to TAO_Demux_Strategy
        and put it at global scope instead of within TAO_OA_Parameters.

        * tao/svc.conf.eg: Created this file to serve as an example of
        various lines one might find in an application's svc.conf.

Thu Aug  7 09:51:31 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * factories.cpp: Incorrect use of ACE_ASSERT in
        TAO_Server_Factory::object_lookup_strategy removed.

        * objtable.cpp: The octet sequence object key was being cast into
        a char* resulting in undefined behavior at times due to the lack
        of a NULL character to terminate it. Changes were made in the bind
        and find methods of TAO_Active_Demux_Table.

Thu Aug 07 03:52:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.8, released Thu Aug 07 03:52:31 1997.

Thu Aug  7 00:43:14 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/typecode.cpp: A couple of errors involving TAO_CONST crept
        in when Brian checked in his code.  I fixed these.

Wed Aug  6 18:28:41 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/clnt.cpp (main): Corrected the format
        specifications when timing was printing out from %ld to %d.  For
        some reason this never caused a problem on other platforms.

Wed Aug  6 17:27:44 1997  Brian R. Mendel  <brian.r.mendel@boeing.com>

        * tao/typecode.h: Removed qualified name in typecode.h to eliminate
          compiler warnings by the GHS compiler.  Line 297.

        * tao/decode.cpp: Changed wchar_t* to CORBA_WChar* to eliminate
          compiler errors on GHS compiler.  Lines 142, 216, 729, 1371, and 1475.

        * tao/typecode.cpp: Deleted unreachable break statements at lines
          429, and 477, 904, and 947.

Wed Aug  6 16:31:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@swarm.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/*: Changed 'const' to 'TAO_CONST' in contexts where the
        const didn't make sense.  For example, this occurred in situations
        where methods declared their return type as 'const CORBA_String',
        which does not translate to 'const char*' but rather 'char*
        const'.

        * tao/corbacom.h: Added #define for TAO_CONST.  See above for
        explanation.

        * tao/{connect,factories,giop,iiopobj,marshal,objtable,
        optable,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Removed errant trailing semi-colon on all
        the #pragma instantiate directives.

Wed Aug  6 13:56:40 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{connect,factories,giop,iiopobj,marshal,objtable,
        optable,orbobj,roa}.cpp: Changed explicit template instantiations
        to use the new ACE enabling macro as well as adding the #pragma
        instantiate to placate Edison Design Group compilers.

        * tao/cdr.h: Changed default for CDR CTOR marshal factory to
        reflect the new name of the default marshal factory variable.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp (CORBA_ORB_init): Inserted call to
        TAO_Marshal::initialize().

        * tao/marshal.*: Added TAO_Marshal class to scope static
        initialization methods for the marshalling engine.
        TAO_DEFAULT_MARSHAL_FACTORY has moved inside of this.

Sun Aug  3 13:12:03 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO: Continued to improve the formatting of these
        tests.

Sat Aug  2 13:55:40 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO: Cleaned up some of the formatting so that
        it is easier to read.

Thu Jul 31 16:19:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/corba.h: Removed incorrect #include "tao/corba.h" in this
        file.  Bad form.

Thu Jul 31 15:19:43 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/*.{h,i,cpp}: Changed all #include of specific
        header files to include the application-level "tao/corba.h".

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/Makefile (BIN): Removed test1_svr and test1_clnt
        for now until we can get them working again.  They stopped working
        after the BOA API changed and the non-standard get_request()
        method removed.

        * tao/any.h: Inserted #includes which insure that this header file
        is not position-dependent on other header files.

        * tao/corba.h: Created this catch-all header file for APPLICATIONS
        to use as a single entry point.  Currently it just includes all
        TAO header files, but will eventually be pared down to only those
        headers which warrant public exposure.

Wed Jul 30 16:55:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/typecode.i (CORBA_TypeCode): Re-ordered member
        initialization to correspond to declaration order.

        * tao/{typecode,orbobj,optable,decode,cdr}.cpp: Added explicit
        typecast to CORBA_ULong/unsigned long to eliminate warnings about
        comparisons btw. signed and unsigned entities.

        * tao/optable.cpp (bind): Put in explicit return type for
        TAO_Active_Demux_OpTable::bind().

Wed Jul 30 14:18:02 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Makefile: Corrected automatic definition of TAO_ROOT and
        fixed all dependencies on tao header/inline files.

        * tao/{typecode,object}.i: Moved a few methods to the beginning of the file
        so that the compiler KNOWS that they are inlined when it hits the
        first reference to them later in the file.

        * tao/object.cpp: Added an end-of-line to silence a very picky SGI
        compiler.

Wed Jul 30 10:05:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/connect.cpp: Removed a number of explicit template
        instantiations that are already included in ACE.

Wed Jul 30 14:20:18 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/boa.{i,h,cpp}: Removed the #include of "tao/objtable.h" and
        instead moved the methods that needed it from boa.i to boa.cpp

Wed Jul 30 13:58:02 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/boa.h: Added #include of "tao/objtable.h" since it is needed
        in boa.i (which is included here when inlining is turned on)

Wed Jul 30 10:05:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/boa.h: Removed the #include of "tao/objtable.h" which seems
        to be unnecessary and may cause problems for template
        specialization.

        * tao/iiopobj.i (IIOP_Object): Changed the second parameter to the
        IIOP_Object constructor so that we can is a const
        IIOP::ProfileBody &.  This prevents a compiler warning.

        * tao/typecode.cpp (private_id): Removed unused variable status.

        * tao/objtable.cpp (bind): Removed the temp variable, which
        was unused.

Tue Jul 29 19:31:11 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/boa.cpp (get_boa): Added casts of ACE_UINT32 so that we
        don't have ambiguous calls to the constructor of ACE_INET_Addr.

        * tao/deep_copy.cpp (deep_copy): Removed an unreachable return
        value.

Mon Jul 21 15:08:36 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.7, released Mon Jul 21 15:08:36 1997.

Mon Jul 21 12:06:16 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/object.cpp: removed the #include of object.i since it will
        always be #included in object.h

Thu Jul 17 16:54:38 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.6, released Thu Jul 17 16:54:38 1997.

Thu Jul 17 16:43:23 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{optable,objtable}.cpp: Updated the explicit template
        instantiations at the end of these files to reflect the changes
        that Andy made.

Thu Jul 17 10:08:45 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/align.h: A very subtle error in "align_binary" was corrected. I
        was assuming that align_binary is always called by
        "ptr_align_binary". In the original inline function versions of
        align_binary and ptr_align_binary, the function align_binary would
        subtract 1 from the specified alignment that ptr_align_binary
        provided. Since I assumed that "align_binary" would always be
        called by "ptr_align_binary", I subtracted the 1 in
        ptr_align_binary and passed the result to "align_binary". This
        caused all sorts of problems for application code that directly
        called "align_binary". This error has been fixed. The macros for
        align_binary and ptr_align_binary are now exactly as the original
        inline functions.

        * tao/any.{h,cpp}: Added comments. In addition, in the code for
        Any::replace, we check if "_value" exists before trying to
        DEEP_FREE it. Otherwise this was resulting in a segmentation fault
        violation.

        * tao/boa.{h,i}: Added comments and changed "release" to CORBA_release

        * tao/cdr.{h,cpp}: Added some comments and removed some stuff that was
        under #if 0 .. #endif

        * tao/corbacom.h: Added lots of comments for the CORBA_String_var class

        * tao/decode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::decode to work, added comments.

        * tao/encode.cpp: Made TAO_Marshal_Union::encode to work, added comments.

        * tao/factories.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Removed "void
        object_lookup_strategy" method since we do this in the parameters
        class. Added code that will use a user defined lookup strategy if
        the corresponding flag is set. This needs to be tested.

        * tao/iiopobj.{i,cpp}: In the allocation and deallocation of the buffer
        for object key, we now use "new/delete" instead of "malloc/free".

        * tao/interp.cpp: commented out a line that decremented 4 from the
        offset provided for indirected typecodes. I guess this was plain
        hack to get some broken things to work.

        * tao/objtable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added code that will use
        template specialization for the dynamic hashing case. In addition,
        improved the destructors of the classes since previously, these
        were not releasing occupied memory.

        * tao/optable.{h,cpp}: Added lots of comments. Added template
        specialization for dynamic hashing scheme. Made dynamic hashing
        scheme the default. Added a new definition for "struct
        TAO_operation_db_entry". The idea is that an IDL compiler will
        generate a database of operations and their corresponding
        skel_ptrs. Such a database is now passed to teh constructors of
        the operation lookup tables. This way, only one instance of such
        lookup tables can be shared by any number of objects implementing
        the same interface.

        * tao/params.{h,i,cpp}: Made dynamic hashing the default. Added a hook
        by which users can supply their lookup strategies. *Needs testing*.

        * tao/typecode.{h,i,cpp}: Added comments and many changes. The private
        state's constructor now takes an argument that is a TCKind
        representing the TypeCode kind of the object of which we are the
        private state. Removed "child_free". Instead, we introduced a
        destructor for the private state that frees all the
        children. Another important change is to the constructor of the
        TypeCode class. We pass a "parent" pointer, if any, to the
        constructor. All children typecodes will share the octet buffer of
        the parent. Only freestanding typecodes will allocate octet
        buffers. We have a new data member called "non_aligned_buffer_"
        because the buffer we allocate may not be aligned on a 4 byte
        boundary. As a result, we may start using the buffer at a shifted
        position to the right. However, we do not want to lose a handle to
        the original buffer that was allocated because at the time of
        freeing, this pointer needs to be freed.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO: Modified a few files (method_db.i, cubitS.cpp)
        so that they use the modified optable and objtable classes. Added
        a README file to indicate how to run the example.

        * tests/Thruput_test: Modified virtually all the files to make it
        work with the latest TAO release and its include files. Also,
        changes similar to Cubit were necessary due to changes in the
        objtable and optable classes.

Wed Jul 16 14:17:01 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/params.*: Eliminated unnecessary
        ACE_LACKS_STATIC_DATA_MEMBER_TEMPLATES checks from
        TAO_OA_Parameters (unnecessary b/c it's not a template).  Also
        corrected the type of TAO_OA_Parameters::ace_singleton_lock_.

Wed Jul 16 11:34:36 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/boa.cpp: Removed some unused code.

        * tao/compat/objbase.h: Added explicit check for prior inclusion
        of ace/OS.h, with an error being produced if it's not included.
        This will help keep me honest and remember to always include OS.h
        beforehand, since I do most of my development on non-WIN32
        platforms.

        * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Added #include "ace/OS.h" before every inclusion
        of <objbase.h>.  This is required on WIN32 platforms because
        objbase.h eventually ends up including <winsock.h>, which is the
        wrong version of winsock from what ACE requires.  Thus, by
        including OS.h prior to objbase.h, objbase.h ends up not trying to
        include a winsock header.

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Added missing #include for tao/debug.h.

Wed Jul 16 10:55:55 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/PC_Install.bat: removed it since it isn't needed anymore

        * tao/TAO.dsp: Changed include path and removed calling of
          PC_Install.bat

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: Changed include path

Tue Jul 15 16:13:53 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/cubitC.cpp: Added missing calls to Release()
        after QueryInterface() calls.  The tip-off that this wasn't
        happening was the fact that, upon client exit, there were upwards
        of 15 references to the object references.  Now it's only 5-7
        (more work to go).

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/*: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...".
        Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header
        inclusion in certain files.

        * tao/compat/*.h: Changed the guts of these files so that they
        work more like their "real" counterparts in the VC++ 5.0.  This
        should encourage compatibility.  Note that, unlike the previous
        files, objbase.h MUST be included before initguid.h; this is
        consistent with the model on WIN32.

        * tao/*.{h,cpp}: Changed all #include paths to be "tao/...".
        Also, changes to orb.h (see below) obviated additional header
        inclusion in certain files.

        * tao/giop.cpp: Removed get_request() crufty old code.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: Backed out many prior special-code additions
        for defining IIDs.  Hopefully the need for these is negated by
        changes elsewhere in the "compat" files.

        * tao/object.cpp: Corrected the conditional compilation switch
        used to determine if we define IID_IUnknown.  This now happens
        whenever WIN32 isn't defined, instead of before when it was only
        on unix or vxworks platforms.

        * tao/Makefile: Eliminated the need to copy files into a "proto/"
        directory; now, everything is built into and used from the "tao"
        directory.

        There is also a new, optional, environment
        variable--TAO_ROOT--which should be set to the ".../TAO"
        directory.  If it's not set, the Makefile will set it to
       WRAPPER_ROOT/TAO.

        Lastly, libcorba.* has changed to libTAO.*.

        * tao/orb.h: Eliminated many header files which had been
        explicitly included here and were causing all manner of problems
        with circular includes.  Library components must now be careful to
        include appropriate headers for all components they use, and we
        will likely have to create a corba.h file for clients to use.

Fri Jul 11 12:12:40 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/TAO.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll in the release
          version

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/{client,server}.dsp: changed to use ace-r.dll
          and tao-r.dll for the release versions.

Thu Jul 10 15:47:24 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/: Removed the following obsolete files: README.apm,
        BUILDING, and TESTS.

        * tao/params.*: Moved the instance() methods into the .cpp from
        the .i, as well as the declaration for the singleton locks.
        Having the singleton locks declared in the .i file caused much
        consternation when ACE inlining was turned on.

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: #ifdef'd the IID_STUB_Object declaration added
        a few days ago so that it happens one way on NT, and another in
        the rest of the Universe.  I would have preferred to find a more
        general solution, but didn't find one quickly enough to satisfy my
        current requirements.

        * tao/roa.*: Removed get_request() method.  This should improve
        our McCabe scores ;-)

        * tao/boa.h: Removed get_request() method.

Wed Jul  9 14:44:31 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO-Install: Added installation instructions for NT

Tue Jul  8 20:52:06 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/PC_Install.bat: Made it very quiet.

        * tao/params.{cpp,h,i}: Changed TAO_OA_PARAMS from a
          ACE_Singleton to a plain singleton by just integrating the
          ACE_Singleton code into the class.

Tue Jul  8 14:27:47 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/except.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to SYSEX macro

        * tao/iiopobj.cpp: changed declaration of IID_STUB_Object
          to include ACE_Svc_Export

        * tao/stub.h: added ACE_Svc_Export to IID_STUB_Object

Tue Jul  8 12:44:14 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Put the "*" in before the comment since it is
          supposed to be there.  Put a space between it and the comment
          to get rid of the warning which VC was giving originally.

Tue Jul  8 10:21:27 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/typecode.cpp: Changed a few loop counters from int to
          CORBA_ULong to get rid of unsigned/signed comparison warnings

        * tao/orbobj.cpp: Got rid of a "*" before a comment.  Looked like
          a typo

        * tao/PC_Install.bat: Replaced "#...." with "rem ...."

Mon Jul  7 20:59:05 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_{svr,clnt}.cpp (main): Added template
          specialization code and updated the formatting.  Thanks to Arturo
          Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

        * tests/Cubit/TAO/test1_svr.cpp (main): Added the -i options to
          getopt().  Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for
          reporting this.

        * TAO/tao/orbconf.h (SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE): Added a
          #define for M_UNIX.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.5, released Sun Jul 06 02:37:24 1997.

Sun Jul  6 00:10:28 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao: Fixed all the code so that we put ACE_MT around all the
          ACE_GUARD_RETURN macros.

        * tao: Updated all of TAO to make sure we use [] when deleting
          arrays in order to avoid memory leaks.  This looks like lots of
          sloppiness left over from the original SunSoft IIOP code.

Sat Jul  5 16:12:31 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/{any,iiopobj,nvlist,principa,request,roa,svrrqst,typecode}.cpp:
          Fixed a double-deletion of a lock.

        * tao/typecode.i: Cleaned up lots of minor warnings with the code
          that are only revealed when running GCC.  The code should now
          compile almost completely cleanly with -wall.

        * tao/typecode.{i,h}: Changed the name of TC_PRV_State to
          TC_Private_State.

        * tao: Replaced ACE_Thread_Mutex with ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX so that the
          code will compile on non-threaded and threaded platforms alike.

        * tao/marshal.cpp: Added template specializations for the Marshal
        primitives.  Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for
        reporting this.

        * tao/Makefile (LDLIBS): Replaced -lcorba with -lACE so that we no
        longer have problems with circular link dependencies.  Thanks to
        Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.0.4, released Sat Jul 05 13:25:23 1997.

Sat Jul  5 12:39:57 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao: All throughout TAO I removed the direct use of system
        include files in lieu of using ace/OS.h.

        * tao/{orbobj,typecode}.cpp: orb.h must be included before others
        include files. Previous includes prevent correct use of ACE config
        flags, therefore, I removed them.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

        * tao/{debug,roa}.cpp: changed _POSIX_THREADS to ACE_HAS_PTHREADS.
        Thanks to Arturo Montes <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting
        this.

        * tao/decode.cpp (decode): The casting (CORBA_ULong) kind is
        unnessary and wrong so I removed it.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

        * tao/debug.cpp (emit_prefix): Changed line 99 from

        #define emit_prefix (stream) ...

        to

        #define emit_prefix(stream) ...

        The blank character prevent after macro name (emit_prefix) prevent
        correct definition.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
        <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

Sat Jul  5 01:04:24 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tao/xdr.cpp: Removed unistd.h and string.h from the xdr.cpp
          file since those aren't necessary.  Thanks to Arturo Montes
          <mitosys@colomsat.net.co> for reporting this.

Fri Jul  4 00:18:21 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/roa.h: Removed derogatory COMments ;-).  Thanks to Anton van
          Straaten <anton@appsolutions.com> for reporting this.

Thu Jul  3 16:16:14 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added ACE_Svc_Export to a couple of declarations to make NT
          happier

Thu Jul  3 13:43:20 1997  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added Visual C++ 5.0 project and workspace files for the TAO
          library and Cubit test

Wed Jul  2 12:44:42 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tests: Moved tests from TAO/IIOP/tests to TAO/tests

Wed Jul 02 00:20:28 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Compiled the first alpha release of TAO on Solaris just
          to make sure it still works.  So far, so good... hence,
          the first alpha release is out the door!

Tue Jul  1 23:35:53 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * VERSION: Added a VERSION file, starting at version 0.0.0...

Tue Jul  1 23:00:15 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added a new tests directory with the Cubit and TTCP
        examples. The older test directory will be deleted soon.

        In addition, the tc_constants in the tc_constants.cpp  file are
        declared with an ACE_Svc_Export to make the Win NT compiler
        happy. Extern declarations in typecode.h had the same changes.

        * Updated the PC_install.bat file. In addition, there was one more
        warning in typecode.cpp (Win NT compiler) that was fixed. Finally,
        in the the tc_const.cpp file, the ACE_Svc_Export was used
        accidently. This has been fixed.

        * A number of files were updated with ACE_Svc_Export so that
        variables and classes do not remain unresolved for Win32
        platform. Similarly, Irfan had sent me a list of warnings that the
        Win NT compiler was giving. These are fixed.

        * marshal.*: Changed the way make_marshal_object works. Instead of
        having a switch statement, we index into a private table of
        marshal objects using the TypeCode _kind field. MarshalFactory now
        maintains this private table.

Mon Jun 30 17:39:02 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added a new README file and a COPYING file that explains the
        contents of TAO and clarifies its copyright status.

Sun Jun 29 10:06:50 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * marshal.*: Added CORBA_Environment as a parameter to
        make_marshal_object factory method. The reason for doing this was
        to enable inlining of the CDR::encode and CDR::decode methods.

        * typecode.*: Changed the way typecodes get deleted. Constant
        typecodes are now owned by the ORB and their private state freed
        when the ORB dies. IDL generated typecodes are not owned by the
        ORB and are the only ones whose refcount matters. Typecodes
        belonging to the IDL generated typecodes are also not owned by the
        ORB and there is no effect on their refcount. They get freed only
        if the parent is destroying itself.

        In typecode.i, methods such as length and content_type were not
        getting inlined due to presence of switch statements. Converted to
        if/else.

        * interp.cpp: Bug fix: Had previously forgotten to update the
        size/alignment of the private state of the typecode.

Fri Jun 27 14:27:49 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * any.cpp: The deep_copy and deep_free optimizations applied. In
        the previous release, I had forgotten to add these to the Any
        constructor (that calls deep_copy) and Any destructor/replace
        (that call deep_free).

        * connect.cp, factories.cpp: Added code that hardcodes the socket
        buffer sizes to 64K. This is a hack for the time being.

Thu Jun 26 10:02:47 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Some more progress on IDL compiler. Generates the client and
        server side files without much contents in it.

Thu Jun 26 09:49:38 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Added a full range of optimizations to the TAO IIOP interpretive
        marshaling engine. The static methods encoder and decoder have
        been removed from the CDR class. Instead, separate classes for
        marshaling have been created for each individual data type. The
        CDR stream maintains a factory that returns an appropriate
        marshaling object depending on the data type to be
        marshaled. Files added include marshal.h, marshal.i, encode.cpp,
        decode.cpp, deep_free.cpp, and deep_copy.cpp. The marshal.h file
        defines classes for an abstract MarshalObject. The factory is
        responsible to return a concrete specialized instance of the
        MarshalObject.

        * Updated the CORBA_TypeCode class so that it now provides all the
        CORBA_2.0 compliant operations. These include length(),
        content_type(), member_type(), member_label(),
        discriminant_type(), id(), default_index(). The equal() operations
        is still not implemented. In addition, precomputation
        optimizations are applied to the TypeCode class. This includes
        precomputing various parameters (if any) of a TypeCode. For
        example, a struct TypeCode keeps track of the member count and
        member types. As a result, it is not necessary to interpret the
        CDR encapsulated stream to retrieve these parameters.

        * At this time, there are some problems getting the Unions to work.

Thu Jun 12 15:45:49 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Added explicit template instantiations
        for ACE_Hash_Map_Manager<>.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.*: Finally got rid of all those methods that took
        ACE_HANDLE as the argument.  Now, all those operate on
        ACE_SOCK_Streams.

Thu Jun  5 10:15:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Corrected output format in error message.

Thu Jun  5 10:09:01 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added a new class to catch SIGINT and
        terminate.  This was necessary to Quantify the server process.

        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.h: Added ACE_INLINE to forward decls of
        CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil().

Wed May 23 14:39:01 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{h,cpp}:  Added template specialization of
        ACE_Hash_Map_Manager for char*'s.

        * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp:  Fixed type_id to be of type CORBA_String_var.
        Also, added a debug msg to print the object address to show the
        object for which the request is made.

        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp:  Added capability to create multiple Cubit
        objects via command line options.  Added -n for number of objects and
        -k for specifying a base name.  For instance, -k Beevis -n 2 creates
        Beevis1 and Beevis2 objects.  The clnt can then specify a specific
        object for the request as usual.

Wed May 22 12:28:45 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp:  Deleted VxWorks specific sections.  Command
        line is now working for VxWorks.
        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp:  Deleted VxWOrks specific sections.  Command line
        is now working for VxWorks.

Wed May 22 11:31:42 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Added better error checking and messages, and
        performed general re-formatting.

        * IIOP/test/method_db.i (initialize_method_db): Changed arg type
        to use a pointer to the abstract class TAO_Operation_Table.

        * IIOP/test/cubitS.cpp (_skel_Cubit::_skel_Cubit): Added better
        error checking and messages.  Also defaulted to use the linear
        object table implementation rather than the hashed to simplify
        debugging.

        * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved some code around so that more of the
        code is common is less is specific to VxWorks and other platforms.
        Also did general re-formatting.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable::find): Initialization
        of the loop variable makes the loop work properly.

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp (TAO_Dynamic_Hash_ObjTable::find):
        Explicitly specified length of object key in CTOR for ACE_CString
        because object keys are not zero-terminated.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added newlines to the end of all ACE_DEBUG()
        messages.

        * IIOP/lib/factories.cpp: Added template specializations for
        ACE_Hash_Addr<ACE_INET_Addr, TAO_Client_Connection_Handler>.

Tue May 22 09:32:41 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Deleted #define old_value ACE_INLINE and
        #define ACE_INLINE old_value lines. Added #undefs for ACE_INLINE
        prior to redefines.  Changes required to compile on Windows NT.

Tue May 20 14:47:46 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/cubitS.h: Removed forward decl of
        TAO_Active_Operation_Table.

        * IIOP/test/{cubitC,cubitS}.*: Changed include quoting characters
        from [<>] to double-quotes.

        * IIOP/test/Makefile: Removed cubit.o from clnt and svr target
        (this has been subsumed by cubit[CS]).

        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Changed ACE_RW_Mutex to ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Inserted explicit template instantiations.

        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added optable to the Makefile.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Moved ~TAO_Operation_Table() into here.

        * IIOP/lib/object.i: Moved find() and bind() into the cpp file.
        Moved ~TAO_Operation_Table() into optable.cpp.

Tue May 20 14:39:00 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * IIOP/test/*: Commited changes to Cubit Example as a current snapshot
          of required changes.

        * IIOP/lib/*: Changes required for header file includes.  Added
          conditionals around _IIOP_BUILD_

Tue May 20 13:55:58 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/*: Commited this stuff in-process so that Brian
        M. doesn't have to duplicate effort.

Tue May 20 13:04:00 1997  Brian Mendel <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * IIOP/lib/debug.cpp: Deleted spaces between flockfile (f) and
        funlockfile (f).  Changed instances of debug_filter to
        TAO_debug_filter.  Deleted space between emit_prefix (stream).

        * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp Added undef(s) for ACE_INLINE and
          do_undef_on_ACE_INLINE to eliminate redefinition problems.


Tue May 20 10:55:09 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/cdr.h: Fixed the automatic inclusion of cdr.i into
        cdr.h by checking to see if __ACE_INLINE__ is not defined and, if
        so, defining ACE_INLINE to be "inline" (we tidy up the namespace
        immediately after the inclusion of cdr.i, too).  See source for
        comments regarding why this is done.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp (TAO_Linear_OpTable_Entry): Removed setting
        of opname and skel_ptr to zero in CTOR since the CTOR for those
        already insures this.  Moreover, NT's compiler was complaining
        about ambiguous resolutions.

        * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,giop,debug,boa}.cpp: Fixed reference to
        debug_level so it's TAO_debug_level.

        * IIOP/lib/object.h: Replaced inclusion of optable.h with forward
        decl of TAO_Operation_Table.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Fixed names of methods that were changed
        in the header but never changed in the source.  Amazing that
        neither g++ nor Sun C++ caught these gaffs!  (Finally, the NT
        compiler wins).

        * IIOP/lib/{orbobj,object}.h: Changed the forward decls of
        CORBA_release() and CORBA_is_nil() so that they are only in effect
        when inlining is NOT being used.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Fixed incorrect passing of an object to
        ACE_DEBUG() where an int is expected.

Mon May 19 17:16:34 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Explicit cast rids us of a warning.

        * IIOP/lib/params.h: Fixed CTOR name.  Once again I'm surprised
        G++ didn't catch this.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Corrected erroneous method signature on
        bind().

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Corrected erroneous method signature on
        TAO_Linear_ObjTable::bind().

        * IIOP/lib/{object,orbobj}.h: Forward declaration of
        CORBA_release(CORBA_Object_ptr) and CORBA_is_nil(CORBA_Object_ptr)
        were commented out.  I think this will cause a problem when we
        DON'T inline, but I'll cross that bridge later.

        * IIOP/lib/{orb,factories}.h: Made inclusion of some headers
        conditional on the compilation phase (building the library or an
        application).

        * IIOP/lib/cdr.i: Removed incorrect default arguments (g++ didn't
        catch them).

        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Removed thread from the header list.

Mon May 19 10:07:00 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/optable.cpp: Changed implementation of the operation
        table and the parameters repository so that they use the right
        class names.

Sat May 17 17:18:38 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * First pass at providing a backend to the SunSoft's CORBA IDL
        compiler front end.

Fri May 16 17:30:31 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Corrected some comments, adjusted some
        argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized
        names, and moved short methods into a new inline file.

        * IIOP/lib/stub.h: Corrected some comments and adjusted some
        argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized
        names.

        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Corrected syntax error and fixed up typedef.

        * IIOP/lib/params.*: Removed extraneous comments and fixed
        argument type on demux_strategy().

        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Added comments, removed static pointer to
        the ORB.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Removed extraneous comments and fixed
        typedefs.

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.cpp: Fixed some syntax errors introduced by
        reformating.

        * IIOP/lib/object.cpp: Adjusted some argument type names to
        reflect their new, namespace-sanitized names.

        * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Removed crufty #includes and adjusted some
        argument type names to reflect their new, namespace-sanitized
        names.

        * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Moved short methods into inline file, added
        IIOP_ORB_ptr typedef, and changed data member to conform to ace
        standards.

        * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Added the second CTOR that I forgot last
        time and adjusted some argument type names to reflect their new,
        namespace-sanitized names.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Added comments for various enums and
        structures.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Switched various GIOP::Invocation methods to
        use handler_->peer() for socket communication rather than going
        through a file descriptor.  Also began the arduous (no other word
        could explain it!) process of converting the homegrown debugging
        message macro uses into ACE_DEBUG() uses.

        * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Added explicit DTOR for TAO_Client_Factory
        and completed all the darn explicit template instantiations.
        Changed 'Svc_Handler' to 'TAO_Client_Connection_Handler', and
        added the forgotton TAO_Client_Factory::connector() method.

        * IIOP/lib/debug.*: Added 'TAO_' prefix to global debug state
        variables and removed crufty #includes.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Change ROA_Handler to
        TOA_OA_Connection_Handler (missed these the last time through).

        * IIOP/lib/cdr.cpp: Added responsive commentary.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added comments to the dispatching code.

        * IIOP/lib/{any,boa,request,typecode}.cpp: Removed references to
        thread.h/connmgr.*.

Thu May 15 19:08:16 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Finished updating all the reformatting.

Thu May 15 15:54:49 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/principa.h: Corrected syntax error which eliminated the
        _refcount data member.

        * IIOP/lib/{params,roa}.*: Updated class names to reflect ROA -->
        TOA_OA pseudo-namespace change.

        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.*: Updated CORBA_ORB_init() to return pointer to
        new ORB singleton.

        * IIOP/lib/orb.h: Commented out some include files to eliminate
        wierd circular dependencies.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.h: Moved TAP_Operation_Table into here.  Put
        OpTable* classes into the TAO_Operation_Table* pseudo-namespace.

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.*: Moved TAO_Object_Table into here.  Moved
        the Entry classes out of the scope of their respective concrete
        operation tables, so they're now named <concrete_table>_Entry.

        * IIOP/lib/object.*: Moved TAO_Operation_Table into optable.*, and
        added a data member which carries a pointer to the ORB with which
        the object is associated.

        * IIOP/lib/iioporb.*: Added a singleton typedef for the ORB which
        is what CORBA_ORB_init() will now return.  Modified
        string_to_object() so that it sets the ORB on the CORBA_Object
        that it returns.

        * IIOP/lib/{iiopobj,nvlist}.h: Added some responsive commentary.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Modified connection establishment code in
        GIOP::Invocation::start() to utilize the client connection manager
        in the ORB.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.h: Put a TAO_Client_Connection_Handler* into
        GIOP::Invocation in place of the client_endpoint.

        * IIOP/lib/factories.*: Updated explicit template instantiations,
        added TAO_Client_Connection_Handler.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.*: Renamed things--ROA_Parameters -->
        TOA_OA_Parameters, ROA_Handler --> TOA_OA_Connection_Handler.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.h: Moved TAO_Object_Table into objtable.*, added
        comments where appropriate.

        * IIOP/lib/{any,cdr,iioporb,invoke}.*: Re-formatting and creation
        of inline method file.

Tue May 13 21:51:22 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Continued to update the format of the TAO source code so that it
          will be consistent with the style used in ACE.

Mon May 12 17:02:29 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Moved short method into an inline file.
        Miscellaneous reformatting.  Adjustment to new type names
        (prefaced by TAO_ for namespace protection).

        * IIOP/lib/object.*: Moved short methods into an inline file.
        Changed lookup()/register_op() to find()/bind() for consistency
        with established ACE APIs.  Miscellaneous reformatting.

        * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.*: Moved short methods into an inline file.
        Added CTOR for IIOP::Version and IIOP::ProfileBody.  Added
        convenience CTOR for IIOP_Object where the profile can be
        supplied.  Miscellaneous reformatting.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.*: Moved short methods into an inline file.  Changed
        lookup()/register_obj() to find()/bind() for consistency with
        established ACE APIs.

        * headers: Added comments to force C++ mode in emacs for header
        files, and changed SCCS version tag info to RCS version tag info.

Wed May  7 14:49:46 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: Some bugs from the CORBA_String_var class
        have been fixed. Thanks to Brian Mendel for noticing these.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: In CORBA_BOA::dispatch, the opname local
        variable of type CORBA_String_var is changed to be of type
        CORBA_String. This was because the String_var class would assume
        ownership of the quantity assigned and delete it. Thanks again to
        Brian Mendel for noticing this.

Tue May  6 14:06:49 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: the register_obj's 2nd argument is changed from
        CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr

        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: the return type for register_op method on
        CORBA_Object is changed from void to int to be consistent.

        Added a new method "get_subclass" to CORBA_Object that returns a
        pointer to the subclass. Typeically, this would be pointer to an
        object that implements an interface.

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: @nd argument of register_obj changed
        from CORBA_Object_ptr& to CORBA_Object_ptr.

        * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: the type signature of "skeleton" is changed to
        take CORBA_Object_ptr rather than CORBA_Object_ptr& as its 2nd argument.

Mon May  5 20:28:54 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: commented out code that uses the "void
        *context" field. It doesn't make any sense to have it.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: Added 2 pure virtual methods (shutting_down and
        clean_shutdown).

        In addition, the "register_obj" method was added. It was missing before.

        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.cpp: String_var's constructor bug is fixed. It
        was trying to free storage that was never allocated.

        * IIOP/lib/iiopobj.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that
        retrieves the object name.

        * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method - "get_name" that
        retrieves the object's name or key. This is for debugging purposes.

        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: There was an infinite loop in parsing the
        options to BOA_init. Fixed.

        * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Added the "get_name" virtual method.

Sat May  3 22:45:23 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Added code temporarily that invokes the
        skeleton that is looked up. We still need to add code that will
        handle the case when no match is found on the operation names.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.hh: The register_obj method on TAO_Object_Table
        now returns an integer indicating status of registering (-1 =>
        failure, 0 for success).

        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: The register_op method on
        TAO_Operation_Table now returns an integer code (O for success, -1
        for failure).

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: The register_obj method returns an
        integer code representing either success or failure.

        * IIOP/lib/optable.{hh,cpp}: Added new files that implement
        concrete strategies for operation name lookup.

Fri May  2 08:48:29 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Modified the signature of register_op on
        TAO_Operation_Table to take a second argument to be a pointer to
        the actual skeleton.

        Thanks to Brian Mendel for reporting this.

Thu May  1 16:46:11 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/object.{hh,cpp}: Added a method that can set the parent
        pointer.

        * IIOP/lib/params.cpp: A hook has been provided in ROA_Factory to
        enable the user to use a user-defined demux strategy.

Wed Apr 30 22:00:51 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/objtable.{hh,cpp}: Added two new files that define
        different object demultiplexing strategies.

        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added objtable as additional source file to compile.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the
        TAO_Object_Table.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.cpp: Provided the default destructor for the
        TAO_Operation_Table.

        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.cpp: Added support for the -OAtablesize option
        in the call to CORBA_ORB::BOA_init method.

        * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support to ROA_Factory to return
        a specific object lookup strategy.

        *IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: The ROA constructor initializes its "objtable_"
        private data member with the object lookup strategy returned by
        ROA factory.

Tue Apr 29 11:52:48 1997  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/any.hh: Moved CORBA_Any_ptr declaration to orb.hh.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.{hh,cpp}: Renamed BOA to CORBA_BOA. The CORBA_BOA class
        maintains a pointer to an abstract TAO_ObjectTable class. Concrete
        classes inheriting from TAO_ObjectTable will provide strategies
        for lookup.

        Added virtual functions to do dispatch based on object key. In
        addition, added a lookup method based on object key that delegates
        the task of looking the object to the object table it maintains.

        Changed the signature of typedef CORBA_BOA::dsi_handler to be pointer to
        member function of class CORBA_BOA. Eventually, this will point to
        the dispatch method of class CORBA_BOA.

        Moved "struct Dispatch_Context" from roa.hh to boa.hh since we
        want BOA to be a full fledged OA eventually and not remain an
        abstract class as it is now. All other OA's such as ROA inherit
        from BOA and only add extra functionality.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: There was a syntax error (missing comma)
        in one of the ACE_DEBUG statements which has been fixed.

        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.{hh,cpp}: Added class CORBA_String_var as well
        as the CORBA compliant CORBA_string_dup.

        * IIOP/lib/except.hh: Moved CORBA_Exception_ptr declaration to orb.hh.

        * IIOP/lib/object.hh: Added an abstract class
        TAO_Operation_Table. CORBA_Object maintains a pointer to this
        abstract class. The IDL compiler will eventually generate concrete
        classes that employ different lookup strategies for operation name
        lookup.

        * IIOP/lib/orb.hh: Added forward declarations to all CORBA_*
        classes. In addition, moved all the CORBA_*_ptr declarations here.

        * IIOP/lib/orbobj.{hh,cpp}: Added the CORBA compliant BOA_init
        method to class CORBA_ORB. Users can now pass arguments to
        BOA_init. Eventually, we want to make this method return any of
        the specialized OA's depending on the arguments. Right now, we get
        a pointer to the ROA.

        * IIOP/lib/params.{hh,i}: Added some more methods and enum
        declarations to the ROA_PARAMS singleton.

        * IIOP/lib/principa.hh: Moved the CORBA_Principal_ptr declaration
        to orb.hh.

        * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,cpp}: Moved some functionality to boa.hh. ROA
        is now only a specialized form of BOA.

        * IIOP/lib/stub.hh: Moved the typedef for "skeleton" to orb.hh.

        * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.{hh,cpp}: Had to rename BOA to CORBA_BOA.

        * IIOP/lib/typecode.hh: Moved the CORBA_TypeCode_ptr declaration
        to orb.hh.

Tue Apr 22 23:30:19 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Added log message.

        * IIOP/lib/params.cpp (concurrency_strategy): Uses reactive
        strategy when appropriate.

        * IIOP/lib/params.hh: Reactive strategy added.

Tue Apr 22 21:03:15 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Changed erroneous ACE_GUARD calls to ACE_GUARD_RETURN
        calls.

Tue Apr 22 16:15:52 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Removed more POSIX thread calls.

        * IIOP/lib/invoke.cpp: Changed ForceSynchronousCancellation to
        ACE_Synchronous_Cancellation_Required and made it use the ACE_OS
        calls.

        * IIOP/lib/{typecode,svrrqst,request,principa,orbobj,nvlist,iiopobj,giop,except,any}.*:
        Removed all vestiges of pthread mutexes...they are now
        ACE_Thread_Mutexes.  This will likely have to change if we want to
        compile something completely devoid of threads, but that's another
        day.  Also, the mutexes have moved from being globals to being
        members on the respective classes.  No files should be dependent
        on thread.hh any longer.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp (open): Removed code obsoleted by use of
        the Strategy_Acceptor.

        * IIOP/lib/{roa.cpp,connect.cpp},IIOP/tests/svr.cpp: Changes to
        use new singletons described below.

        * IIOP/lib/params.*: Changed ROA_Parameters and ROA_Factory to use
        ACE_Singleton<>.  The singleton types are now named ROA_PARAMS and
        ROA_FACTORY.

Mon Apr 21 23:44:34 1997  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp (ROA): Changed spelling of clientAcceptor_ to
        client_acceptor_ to be consistent with ACE style conventions.

Mon Apr 21 10:52:42 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/clnt.cpp: Moved call to CORBA_ORB_init() prior to the
        parsing of the command line args.  This got switched around during
        porting to VxWorks.

        * IIOP/lib/roa.cpp: Changed calls using clientAcceptor_to use APIs
        vended by ACE_Strategy_Acceptor.

        * IIOP/lib/roa.hh: Moved default thread flags into ROA_Factory.

        * IIOP/lib/params.*: Added ROA_Factory, a singleton which is the
        beginning of an abstract factory dynamically producing runtime
        strategies based on information found in ROA_Parameters.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.cpp: Added call to ROA_Handler's base class
        CTOR in initializer list.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.hh: Changed ROA_Handler's CTOR so that it can
        take an optional ACE_Thread_Manager* arg.  This makes it
        compatible with the CTORs for the base class.  Also changed base
        class for ROA_Acceptor to ACE_Strategy_Acceptor.

        * IIOP/lib/svrrqst.*: Changed references to BOA_ptr from TOA_ptr.

        * IIOP/lib/connect.*: ROA_Handler/ROA_Acceptor moved from roa.*
        into here.

        * IIOP/lib/params.*: ROA_Parameters moved from roa.* into here.

        * IIOP/lib/boa.*: What used to be TOA is now BOA, and lives in
        here.

        * IIOP/lib/roa.*: Major restructuring required removal of all
        classes (see other log entries) from here.  This file now houses
        only the ROA class.

        * IIOP/lib/{tcpoa.*,toa.*}: Removed because of name changes from
        TCP_OA->ROA and TOA->BOA.

Fri Apr 18 08:09:19 1997  Brian Mendel   <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * cdr.hh,corbacom.{hh,cpp},giop.cpp,marshall.cpp,typecode.cpp:
        Changes required for WChar missed in earlier committed code.

        * connmgr.cpp: Changes required for select statement.

        * nvlist.cpp: Conditional include for memory.h added.  VxWorks
        does not have memory.h.

        * object.cpp: Added conditional for VXWORKS to define
        IID_IUnknown.

        * orbconf.hh: Minor tuning of the configuration file.

        * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: Added VXWORKS conditional includes.

        * toa.cpp: Added VXWORKS conditional includes.


Mon Apr 15 17:01:00 1997  Brian Mendel  <bmendel@mdc.com>

        * roa.cpp: Added return statement to ROA_Handler::open(void*)
        method.

        * giop.cpp: Modified giop::read_buffer to replace undefined fc
        with peer.get_handle().  Modified giop::incoming_message method
        parameter list to match function prototype exactly.

        * tcpoa.cpp: Replaced fd instances in debug messages with
        peer.get_handle() calls.

Mon Apr 14 13:45:54 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * roa.{hh,i,cpp},tcpoa.cpp,svr.cpp: Replaced ACE_ROA with
        ROA_Parameters, which is a GoF-style singleton.

Sun Apr 13 00:01:56 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * roa.cpp: Fix continuation condition in ROA_Handler::svc()'s loop
        so that it doesn't stop after one iteration.  Also added some
        debug messages.

        * giop.cpp: Fixed some returns being called with no value.  This
        should have been caught in the previous round of changes.

Sat Apr 12 23:10:08 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tcpoa.{hh,cpp}: TCP_OA::handle_message() now returns a value
        indicating how a message was handled.

        * roa.cpp: ROA_Handler::handle_input() now returns a meaningful
        value based on what TCP_OA::handle_message() returns.

        * giop.{hh,cpp}: Added end-of-file detection on socket
        connections, and that is now propagated all the way back up
        through GIOP::incoming_message().  I don't know if I violated
        something in the spec by doing this, but it was necessary.  I'll
        look into it later.

Thu Apr 10 11:49:44 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * giop.{hh,cpp}: Overloaded all methods dealing with connections
        so that there are two, one taking a file descriptor as argument,
        the other taking an ACE_SOCK_Stream.  Right now, the *_Stream
        version simply forwards to the fd-based one.  I would have
        preferred to get rid of the fd-based methods altogether, but we've
        only converted the server runtime; the client is still using the
        original sun code, which is effectively fd-based.  In the course
        of doing this, I also simplified the decls for incoming_message by
        creating typedefs for some of the function pointers passed as
        args.

        * orbconf.hh: Fixed the stupid auto-endian-ness detector
        AGAIN...had my logic reversed!

        * roa.cpp: Adjusted code in accordance with changes to tcpoa.hh.

        * tcpoa.hh: Moved and renamed TCP_OA::dispatch_context to be
        ::Dispatch_Context, and changed its endpoint member to be an
        ACE_SOCK_Stream.

        * roa.hh: Fixed handle_input() to use the underlying peer() data
        member for reading data, rather than using its argument.  This is
        so that when a different thread handles each connection,
        handle_input() can simply be called repeatedly by svc().

Wed Apr  9 16:19:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tcpoa.cpp: Fixed a problem that G++ didn't notice regarding
        changing the notion of endpoints in servers from server_endpoint
        to an ACE_HANDLE.

Wed Apr  9 15:43:37 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * svr.cpp: The -p option is gone, and -e takes its place and is
        required.  This requires the user to specify not only the port
        number, but also the IP address of on which the server should
        listen for requests.  See ACE_INET_Addr documentation for valid
        string formats for addresses.  Also, the -t option sets the "use
        threads" global.

        * orbconf.hh: Hopefully resolved the tension between MS and Unix
        platforms in inferring endian-ness of the target platform based on
        preprocessor defines.  We now check for i386, _M_X86, and vax
        (yeah, like we really worry about that, but it's easy to do).

        * roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added support for spawning threads to handle
        incoming requests.  This involves a state flag for whether or not
        to use threads, calling activate() in ROA_Handler::open() if that
        flag is set, and creating ROA_Handler::svc() that simply loops
        calling handle_input().

Tue Apr  8 11:14:57 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Moved setting of upcall(), forwarder(),
        context(), etc. into here rather than in TCP_OA::TCP_OA(), which
        is where I mistakenly stuck them a few days ago (duh!).

        * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp: Removed setting of ACE_ROA::upcall(), which belongs
        in the server code.  I got confused because the function names
        were so similar: tcpoa.cpp contains ::tcp_oa_dispatcher(), and
        svr.cpp contains ::tcpoa_dispatch().

        * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: Added forwarding function to ACE_ROA global namespace
        hack.

        * IIOP/lib/orbconf.hh: Fixed preprocessor checks that auto-detect
        endian-ness of this processor.

Mon Apr  7 21:08:24 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/test/test1_{clnt,svr}.cpp: THESE HAVE NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO
        USE ACE EVENT HANDLING!!  This round of changes explicitly
        instantiates templates where required.

        * IIOP/test/svr.cpp: Global function ::OA_listen() no longer
        exists; its functionality is now fully contained within ::main().
        If USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING is defined, a Reactor-based event loop
        is used.  The original intent was to allow conditional compilation
        to select btw. the original method and a Reactor-based method.
        However, weaving that into the library proved far more difficult
        than anticipated, so more than likely not defining
        USE_ACE_EVENT_HANDLING will cause massive grief.

        * IIOP/lib/toa.cpp: Changed call to TCP_OA::init() to reflect new
        ACE_INET_Addr argument type.

        * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.cpp (TCP_OA): All initialization methods were
        changed, specifically the CTOR and TCP_OA::init, to reflect the
        introduction of ACE_INET_Addr.  Two side-effects of using
        ACE_INET_Addr are that (1) a server can specify the address on
        which it wants to listen and (2) best that I can tell, the server
        MUST specify the address on which it wants to listen because
        otherwise it won't be able to publish a rational IOR.  The event
        loop is now changed to simply loop on Reactor::handle_events().

        * IIOP/lib/tcpoa.hh (TCP_OA): Removed vestiges of this component's
        use of the original connection management scheme.  Where
        appropriate, hostnames and ports were replaces by ACE_INET_Addr,
        endpoints by ACE_HANDLEs, etc.  One particularly nasty thing done
        was to declare ROA_Handler as a friend so that handle_message()
        can be called from ROA_Handler::handle_input(), which to me
        exposes a hole in the original architecture wherein input is
        "pulled" rather than waited-for.  We might need to re-think how
        this is handled within TAO.

        * IIOP/lib/roa.{hh,i,cpp}: These files contain the required
        components to support the new server-side ACE-based
        connection/event substrate.  The client side remains, as always,
        using the connection mgmt scheme used by the original Sun IIOP
        code.

        * IIOP/lib/giop.cpp: Added explicit template instantiation for
        when this is needed.

        * IIOP/lib/corbacom.hh: Now protects itself from multiple
        inclusion.

        * IIOP/lib/Makefile: Added roa.* where appropriate.

Wed Mar 19 10:25:21 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * IIOP/docs/us/codecount/*.count: Added to repository.

        * Makefile: Added to repository.

        * IIOP/objbase.h: Moved to IIOP/compat.

        * IIOP/initguid.h: Moved to IIOP/compat.

Thu Mar 13 14:06:28 1997  Chris Cleeland  <cleeland@cs.wustl.edu>

        * ChangeLog: Added the ChangeLog.  We'd like to thank David
 	  Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>, the original author of SunSoft
 	  IIOP, for helping to launch TAO off in the right direction!
