Mon Nov 09 23:06:55 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

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

Mon Nov  9 19:29:38 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB.h (CORBA::ExceptionType): Swapped the enum definition
          order of USER_EXCEPTION and SYSTEM_EXCEPTION so it complies with
          the CORBA spec.

        * tao/GIOP.h (TAO_GIOP_ReplyStatusType): Swapped the enum definition
          order of TAO_GIOP_USER_EXCEPTION and TAO_GIOP_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION
          so it complies with the CORBA spec.

          Thanks very much for Bob Price <Bob_Price@tssdc.saic.com> for
          noticing this and send us the bug report.

Mon Nov 09 18:12:48 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/Scheduler_Generic.{cpp, h}
          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/Strategy_Scheduler.{cpp, h}:
          Implemented anomaly recording in the strategized
          scheduler so all warning and error level scheduling anomalies
          can be propagated to generated runtime header file without
          halting the scheduler (except for a fatal anomaly).  Thanks to 
          Tom Venturella <thomas.e.venturella@boeing.com> for suggesting this.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Sched_Conf/Sched_Conf.{cpp, dsw}
          orbsvcs/tests/Sched_Conf/Sched_Conf_Anomalies.{cpp, dsp}
          orbsvcs/tests/Sched_Conf/Sched_Conf_Anomalies_Runtime.h
          orbsvcs/tests/Sched_Conf/Sched_Conf_Runtime.h:
          modified tests to validate anomaly logging and scheduler.

          (create_constrained_propertyset): Changed to use
          TAO_ENDTRY_RETURN.

        * tao/try_macros.h (TAO_ENDTRY_RETURN): Added a new macro
          'TAO_ENDTRY_RETURN(X)' to avoid compilation errors when a return
          statement goes right after the TAO_ENDTRY macro.  Thanks to
          David for pointing this out.


Mon Nov  9 13:04:56 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Consumer_Input_Handler.cpp (handle_input):
          added TAO try macro exceptions.

Mon Nov 09 09:59:45 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Property/CosPropertyService_i.cpp: changed some
          ACE_NOTREACHED (return 0) statements to return 0, if
          TAO_HAS_EXCEPTIONS is _not_ defined.  There's got to be a
          better way.

1998-11-08  Pradeep Gore  <pradeep@flamenco.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Event_Comm/Event_Comm.idl: Added exceptions
          CannotSubscribe and CannotUnSubscribe.

          to use Consumer_ptr instead of the previous "marker" for Orbix.
          Added a warning message for platforms (e.g. Win32) that do not
          support regular expression functions such as compile and step.
          Added explicit template instantiation code for the egcs compiler.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Notifier_Server.h: Added this new file.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Notifier_Server.cpp: Added this new file.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Notifier.cpp: Uses Notifier_Server class.
        * examples/Event_Comm/consumer.cpp: Class consumer now derives
          from ACE_Event_Handler and implements the ShutdownCallback.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Consumer_Handler.h: Added the following
          methods -
          int init (int argc, char *argv[],
                ShutdownCallback *_shutdowncallback);
          int run (void);
          void close (void);
          void shutdown (void);
          ACE_Reactor *reactor (void);

          Event_Comm::Notifier_var notifier_;
          TAO_Naming_Client naming_services_client_;
        * examples/Event_Comm/Consumer_Handler.cpp: Uses the naming service
          to get hold of the Notifier object instead of using an IOR.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Consumer_Input_Handler.h:
          Class Consumer_Input_Handler derives from ACE_Event_Handler.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Consumer_Input_Handler.cpp: handle_input
          calls Consumer_Handler::shutdown to initiate a shutdown on
          the "quit" command.
          Uses register_stdin_handler and remove_stdin_handler to
          register the input handler.
        * examples/Event_Comm/supplier.cpp: Class Supplier derives from
          ACE_Event_Handler and implements ShutdownCallback.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Supplier_Input_Handler.h: Derives from
          ACE_Event_Handler.
        * examples/Event_Comm/Supplier_Input_Handler.cpp:handle_input
          calls Supplier_Handler::shutdown to initiate a shutdown on
          the "quit" command.
        * Makefile: detects if the g++ compiler version is lesser than
          2.8.0 and if so, prints a warning message.


Sun Nov 08 14:55:53 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/orbconf.h: Please uncomment TAO_HAS_EXCEPTIONS and
          TAO_USE_EXCEPTIONS once exceptions are working in TAO.  For now,
          they are not working properly.

        * tao/Object_Table.cpp (find): Fixed the find routine.  It was
          considering the is_free_ field in all cases, but this field is
          not used when the dynamic hashing mechanism is used.

        * tao/orbconf.h: Please uncomment TAO_HAS_EXCEPTIONS and
          TAO_USE_EXCEPTIONS once exceptions are working in TAO.  For now,
          they are not working properly.

        * tao/Object_Table.cpp (find): Fixed the find routine.  It was
          considering the is_free_ field in all cases, but this field is
          not used when the dynamic hashing mechanism is used.

          Added exceptions handling to methods:
          register_callback, unregister_callback, market_status.

Fri Nov  6 17:09:52 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/mpeg_shared/MMDevice_Exporter.idl:
          The new idl defining the wrapper interface for exporting both
          Audio and Video MMDevices.

Fri Nov 06 10:59:43 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

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

Thu Nov  5 23:46:42 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/README (TIP):
          Just added a line telling the users about the format for the
          input file of the supplier market daemon.

Thu Nov 05 15:52:50 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Object_Table.cpp (find): Added a check for is_free in the
          find algorithm.  Thanks to Frank Patz <frank@contact.de> for
          sending the bug report.

Thu Nov 05 04:03:01 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB.cpp (multicast_to_service): Make sure that the multicast
          sockets are closed properly no matter how the function exits.
          Thanks to Achim Stindt <stindt@inobis.de> for reporting this.

Wed Nov 04 22:46:00 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Operation_Table.cpp: Added a timeprobe table.

Wed Nov  4 15:31:29 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/IIOP_Object.h: Added TAO_Export to Profile so I can use
          it in the Implementation Repository.

        * orbsvcs/ImplRepo_Service/*: The Implementation Repository
          (which now supports DSI and Ping Objects) has been moved here.

        * orbsvcs/tests/ImplRepo/*: Updated the test to check DSI and
          the Ping Object, and also added a test for just the Repository
          class in ImplRepo_Service.

Tue Nov  3 21:02:30 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_Timer_Handler.cpp
          Added a change to Consumer_Input_Handler::quit_consumer_process
          by which the consumer exits gracefully even on a communication
          failure with the notifier.
          Also, this is a working version of the Callback Quoter example.

Tue Nov  3 19:57:03 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/README:
          Added this file which explains the Callback Quoter example and
          the way the execute it.

Tue Nov  3 17:14:35 1998  Yamuna Krishnamurthy  <yamuna@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/server_discovery/Trader_Client.{h,cpp}:
          Bind to the mpeg client receiver to push the audio and video
          device references to the AV mpeg client in load_movie (). The
          references to the audio and video mmdevice are obtained from the
          mmdevice exporter through the trading service. Added code to
          hash the MMDevice_Exporter reference.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/server_discovery/Server_Discovery.cpp:
          Change the method names corresponding to the names generated in
          the Server_0005fDiscovery_0005fUtil.h.Declare the jobject array
          server_names as a class member and not within the get_server
          method. Initilaize the _movie_class in the get_movie_info method
          before allocation of buffer. Added code in load_movie ().

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/server_discovery/Server_Discovery_Selection.java:
          Changed the way the movie tree was created and accessed. Do an
          updateUI() on the table to display it.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/server_discovery/Server_Discovery_Util.java:
          Change the second parameter passed to load_movie() from
          movie_name of String type to movie of Movie class type to pass
          the movie info

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/source/server/augmented_server.{h,cpp}:
          Write a wrapper MMDevice_Exporter to export the audio and video
          references and the machine and movie info properties.Add
          AV_Video_MMDevice and AV_Audio_MMDevice.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/source/server/Video_Repository.idl:
          Replace the member filename_ with audio_filename_ and
          video_filename_.

Tue Nov  3 16:10:49 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/configurations.html: The macro
          TAO_USE_DOTTED_DECIMAL_ADDRESSES was given as
          TAO_USES_DOTTED_DECIMAL_ADDRESES in docs/configuration.html.
          Thanks to Byron Harris for reporting this!

Tue Nov  3 14:39:05 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/mpeg_shared/Receiver.idl:
          Added a video object reference and video file parameters to the
          push_mmdevice method in the Receiver interface.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/mpeg_client/Command_Handler.{h,cpp}:
          Changed the implementation of the Receiver interface to
          implement code for the video reference and videofile parameters
          to push_mmdevice method.

Mon Nov  2 17:57:23 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Cubit_Client.{h,cpp}:
        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/collocation_test.cpp
          Make sure the client instructs the server to shutdown no matter
          we are using the collocation optimization or not.

        * performance-tests/Demux/demux_test_client.cpp (run_linear_test,
          run_random_test, run_worst_test, run_best_test): Win32 doesn't
          support conversion from unsigned __int64 to double directly.
          Therefore, we must use the ACE_UINT64_DBLCAST_ADAPTER to convert
          it to __int64 first.  In this case, it'll be safer if we do the
          substraction first before multiplying the constant factor.

        * performance-tests/Demux/{server,client}.cpp (main): Added
          trailing return statements to avoid warnings from VC 6.

        * performance-tests/Demux/Demux.dsw:
        * performance-tests/Demux/{server,client}.dsp:
        * performance-tests/Demux/CodeGen/CodeGen.dsp: New
          project/workspace files.

        * performance-tests/Demux/demux_test_client.cpp (run_random_test):
          Replaced srand48 () and lrand48 () with ACE_OS::srand () and
          ACE_OS::rand ().

        * performance-tests/Demux/demux_test_server.cpp
          (~Demux_Test_Server): Removed unreferenced local variables.

        * performance-tests/Demux/CodeGen/client.cpp
          (gen_client_incl_code): This function should return a value.

        * performance-tests/Demux/CodeGen/gen_names.cpp (is_present):
          Fixed a syntax error.
          (gen_rand): Changed lrand48 () to ACE_OS::rand ().

        * performance-tests/Demux/CodeGen/codegen.h: Removed inclusion of
          <iostream.h> and <fstream.h>.  They caused conflicts with
          standard C++ library and should be included by ACE's header
          files.

1998-11-02  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_Timer_Handler.h:
        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_Timer_Handler.cpp:
                Added these files, for implementing the timer handler for
        the supplier.

Sun Nov 01 19:53:15 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/TAO.h (TAO_ORB_Manager::run): Added default environment to
          this method.  Thanks to Terry Rosenbaum
          <Terry.Rosenbaum@Radiology.MSU.edu> for suggesting this.

Sun Nov 01 09:03:40 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.39 released.

Sun Nov 01 08:24:19 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/Task_Client.cpp
          (calc_delta): removed fabs wrap of real_time with
          ACE_LACKS_FLOATING_POINT, because real_time is unsigned
          on those platforms.  GHS complained about useless
          check for < 0.

          (do_test): changed sleep_time - delta < 0 check to
          sleep_time < delta, because GHS 1.8.8 complained (improperly)
          that sleep_time - delta could never be less than 0.

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/Task_Client.h:
          removed fabs () #define with ACE_LACKS_FLOATING_POINT,
          because it's no longer used.

Sat Oct 31 17:49:18 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.38 released.

Sat Oct 31 17:14:49 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Demux/CodeGen/gen_names.cpp: Cleaned up the
          code a little bit and fixed a problem with ACE_CString -- it was
          being passed the address of a character, which really confused
          it!  Thanks to Vishal for chasing this down.

Sat Oct 31 13:03:58 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/CDR.i (operator<<): removed some return statements so that
          returns at end of functions don't need to be wrapped with
          ACE_NOTREACHED.  That seems to be the only way to keep
          both GHS and DEC cxx happy.

Sat Oct 31 01:49:06 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/collocation_test.cpp (main):
          Added check for argv[0] to determine whether to use collocation
          optimization or not.

Fri Oct 30 23:04:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Consumer_Handler.h (reactor_used):
          removed superfluous class name qualification.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Trader/Service_Type_Repository.cpp (add_type):
          added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (inc_num).  With native exceptions enabled,
          it's never used, because it's a default return value.

Fri Oct 30 15:21:52 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance_tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/collocation_test.cpp:
        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Cubit_Client.{h,cpp}:
          Fixed the collocation test.  It was broken when we stop using
          Naming Service with the test.  Also, separate out the
          shutdown_server method out since it needs to do more than an
          ordinary shutdown call to the server when we are testing the
          collocation.  Notice that Irfan is currently fixing this and in
          the future, we'll no longer need to treat collocated object
          specially.

        * performance_tests/Demux/CodeGen

          Made modifications such that a new method called shutdown is
          always generated for every interface. This method will be called
          to shutdown the ORB on the server side.

          In addition, we now generate the poa-names.dat file with a POA
          depth appaneded to it. Thus we shall have names like
          poa_names_1.dat. This will enable us to create many executables
          at the same time. Otherwise, everytime we ran the demux
          executable, we were overwriting this file. In the servant
          implementation, for the shutdown mehtod, we call the shutdown on
          the ORB.

          Affected files are:

          codegen.cpp
          codegen.h
          gen_names.cpp
          idl.cpp
          servant_impl.cpp

        * performance_tests/Demux/demux_test_client.cpp

          The client now invokes the shutdown method on the very first obj
          reference it holds. This will enable the ORB shutting down on
          the other side.

          removed "return 0" in TAO_TRY block in generated code, and
          therefore the ACE_NOTREACHED wrapper around the "return 0"
          at the end of the function.  Thanks to Carlos for suggesting
          this simplification.

          so that it will compile with g++.

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: strip $(CXX) to avoid odd behavior if had
          trailing whitespace.  Thanks to Steve Kay <slk1@icore.ih.lucent.com>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/CosNaming_i.cpp (new_context):
          removed return statement in TAO_TRY block so that final
          return statement will be reached, if an exception isn't thrown.
          This avoids a cxx warning that the last statement is unreachable.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_enum/any_op_cs.cpp (visit_enum): removed
          ACE_NOTREACHED wrapper fron final return statement, because it's

          In an effort to be efficient, in certain methods I was stealing
          sequence buffers from 'in' parameters that would have otherwise
          needed to have been copied. However, this doesn't work in the
          colocated case, since those 'in' parameters are passed directly
          rather than copied over the wire. This was causing the the trader's
          colocated_test to fail. Thanks to Jim Penny

          Thanks to Carlos for this solution.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Custom_Marshal/run_tests.pl: specify full path

        * orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/DOVEMIB/DOVEMIBx.dsp
          orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/DOVEMIB/TestClient.dsp
          orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/DOVEMIB/any_test_i.cpp: Modified custom
          build step for .idl files to look for the TAO IDL compiler in
          the $ACE_ROOT/bin directory, converted ostream output for which
          compiler was complaining about an ambiguous << operator into
          ACE_DEBUG output form.  Thanks to Brian Gilstrap
          <gilstrap_b@ociweb.com> for pointing this out.

1998-10-23  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Simple/bank/README (Options): Explained the [-o IOR_file_name]
        option for the server more clearly.

Fri Oct 23 12:41:14 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Environment.cpp:
          When using native C++ exceptions the
          CORBA_Environment::default_environment() function clears the
          environment every time it is called.  This should fix some
          problems reported by Goran Lowkrantz
          <Goran.Lowkrantz@infologigruppen.se>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/cdr_op_cs.cpp:

          Modified the generated code sightly to make sure that we check
          for exceptions. Thanks to Naga for pointing this out.

Fri Oct 23 11:17:00 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/CDR.i (operator<<): wrapped several final return statements
          with ACE_NOTREACHED to avoid unreachable statement warnings from
          DEC cxx.

Fri Oct 23 10:25:49 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp : Fixed the
        problem with getting the suffix for a #include'd idl file. Use
        strrchr instead of strstr. Thanks to Ron Barack
        <r.barack@inobis.de> for tracking this down.

Thu Oct 22 21:35:17 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

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

Thu Oct 22 20:43:06 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/DynAnyC.h:
          Added 'TAO Export' to the DynAny utility classes
          AnySeq and NameValuePairSeq so the linker could find them.

Thu Oct 22 14:09:12 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_lookup.cpp:
          TAO_IDL/Makefile:

          Since GPERF had issued a warning indicating collision of keys, I
          used an additional -k1,2,$ option to GPERF. Thanks to Doug
          Schmidt for suggesting this. The collisions are now resolved.

Thu Oct 22 11:01:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/any_op_cs.cpp (visit_interface):
          initialize _tao_obj_ptr to 0 to avoid g++ warnings about possible
          use before initialization, in generated code.

        * examples/POA/Generic_Servant/Makefile: changed LSRC definition
          to use $(IDL_SRC) instead of $(POA_CLT_SRCS), so that client.o
          is not put into libserver.a.  It caused link collisions on VxWorks.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Concurrency/lex.CC_command.cpp: forced CVS check-in
          to avoid out-of-date warnings during builds, after new checkouts.

        * tao/orbconf.h: enable TAO_USE_EXCEPTIONS ifdef ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS.

Thu Oct 22 11:26:34 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/include/fe_private.h:

          The hash and the lookup methods now use unsigned int as the type
          for the second argument.

        * TAO_IDL/fe/fe_lookup.cpp:

          Regenerated the file since the prototype for the hash and lookup
          methods had changed.

Wed Oct 21 22:34:18 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.31 released.

          Added an extra "return 0;" after the TAO_ENDTRY; in each >>=
          operator. Thanks to David Levine for reporting the compiler
          warnings requiring a return statement.

          TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_union/any_op_cs.cpp:

          Added the TAO_TRY macros to the generated code for the <<= and
          >>= operators. In addition, David Levine had reported warnings
          because of the presence of an unnecessary, unreachable return
          statement. This has been fixed.

          TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_structure/cdr_op_cs.cpp
          TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_sequence/cdr_op_cs.cpp:

          For IDL types defining a scope (e.g., structure, intrfaces), we
          were generating the inline CDR operators that used the CDR
          operators for their children before defining them. This was
          resulting in lots of compile errors. We now make sure that the
          CDR operators for the children are available before their use in
          the parent.

        * tao/IIOP_Interpreter.cpp (calc_key_union_attributes): There was
          an error in the calculation of the padded size of the
          discriminant. We were not taking inot account the size of the
          Base_Union. Thanks to Kirk Ellett (kellett@mdc.com) for sending
          me the bug report and a sample code that illustrated this
          problem. His example used a sequence of unions in which one of
          the member was double (size 8, alignment 8) that finally
          pinpointed this error to me.

Wed Oct 21 07:22:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp (DRV_parse_args): initialized
          local "s" to 0 to avoid g++ warning about possible
          unitialized use.

Tue Oct 20 18:04:30 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp:
        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp: Fixed the problem with separating
          suffix from the mail file name. It was hard coded assuming that
          all files will end with .cpp which may not be true when somebody
          uses -sT or -st option to specify someother suffix like .cxx or
          something. So, we now use "." to separate the main name from the
          suffix. If . is also not there (sanity check), we just take the
          whole name as it is.  Thanks to
          Terry.Rosenbaum@Radiology.MSU.edu <Terry Rosenbaum> for
          reporting this problem.

1998-10-20  Seth Widoff  <swidoff@cs.cmu.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Trading_Service/Trading_Service.{h,cpp}:
        * docs/releasenotes/trader.html:
        Added a command line argument -TSdumpior to dump the trader's ior
        to a file. Thanks to Sunil Kumar <skumar@sutmyn.com> for
        noticing this was missing.

Tue Oct 20 11:07:18 1998  Matthew J Braun  <mjb2@cec.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Param_Test/param_test_i.cpp: A re-check in...

Tue Oct 20 11:17:01 EDT 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/be:

          Introduced a small modification (read hack) so that all the CDR
          operators are now generated in the *.i file and with the
          ACE_INLINE keyword. Also, if ACE_INLINE is not defined, then we
          take care of this by generating the prototypes in the header
          enclosed within #ifndef .. #define .. #endif statements. This is
          just a first attempt to reduce fuction call overhead for
          compiled marshaling operators. However, an elegant solution to
          do this on a selective basis is needed. At this time, we force
          all <<, >> operators to be inlined. If the compiler decides not
          to inline, then we are going to pay a penalty.

          Affected files are:

          be_visitor_root/root.cpp
          be_visitor_root/cdr_op.cpp

          In addition, I found out that in a number of files, we were
          tightly coupling the generated code to a specific output stream
          e.g., the client stubs file. In the above scenario, when I moved
          the generation of the CDR operators to the inline files in the
          root.cpp file, I expected all the children nodes to generate
          code in the inline file. However, since the code for the child
          nodes were tightly coupled with the client stubs file, it
          resulted in errors.

          The best way to hide which output stream we are currently
          dealing with is to use the "stream" accessor of the
          visitor_context class. The desired stream gets set at the root
          level and this information is passed to all the children via the
          context.

          Affected files are:

          be_visitor_array/any_op_ch.cpp
          be_visitor_array/any_op_cs.cpp

        * performance-tests/Demux:
          performance-tests/Demux/CodeGen:

          Completely rewrote the entire test suite using proper ACE
          programming guidelines. The older version was written to work
          with the SunSoft's IIOP code. the current one is now fully CORBA
          compliant and works with TAO.

          A bunch of files have been deleted and new ones added. In
          particular, we now generate an interface definition and rely on
          TAO_IDL compiler to generate the stubs and skeletons (rather
          than we generating them as we did before). In addition, we have
          added an additional parameter i.e., POA depth.

          Read the README files in both the directories to see how to use
          this test suite. We need to experiment with this to see how TAo
          performs.

          Newly added files are:

          ./demux_test_client.{h, cpp}
          ./demux_test_macros.h
          ./demux_test_server.{h, cpp}

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

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

        * tests/Param_Test/Makefile: don't build with g++ versions prior
          to 2.8, becase they can't handle nested classes.  Thanks to
          JM Strauss <jms97@club-internet.fr> for confirming this.

        * examples/Quoter/Makefile: don't build with g++ versions prior
          to 2.8, becase they can't handle nested classes.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Mcast/EC_Mcast.cpp (disconnect_push_supplier):
          added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (_env).

        * utils/catior/catior.cpp: added #include of ace/streams.h
          because this file uses ifstreams.

        * tao/DynUnion_i.cpp (get_extractor): moved return statement
          inside of ACE_LACKS_LONGLONG_T protection to avoid compiler
          warning about unreachable statement.

Mon Oct 19 15:37:53 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AV/Endpoint_Strategy.cpp (create_B): Fixed a
          warning for using TAO_TRY_ENV with no TAO_CHECK_ENV.Thanks to
          David for reporting this.

Mon Oct 19 15:37:30 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/Event_Supplier/Event_Sup.dsp
          orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/Event_Supplier/Logging_Sup.dsp:
          Modified custom build step for NavWeap.idl to look for
          the TAO IDL compiler in the $ACE_ROOT/bin directory.

Mon Oct 19 14:28:30 1998  Matthew J Braun  <mjb2@cec.wustl.edu>

        * examples/POA/NewPOA/run_test.pl: Runs the test. Not exactly a
          difficult task, since there's one executable with no arguments.

Mon Oct 19 11:24:40 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/client.cpp (already_bound_test,
          already_bound_test2): added .in () dereference of "obj" arg.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Mcast/EC_Mcast.cpp (open_receiver): added
          .in () reference of "addr_server" arg.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.cpp (run): added
          .in () reference of several args.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.cpp: added a bunch of
          ACE_UNUSED_ARG's.  Thanks to JM Strauss <jms97@club-internet.fr>
          for reporting these.

        * test/Param_Test/driver.cpp: added
          Param_Test_Client<Test_Unbounded_Struct_Sequence> instantiation.

        * TAO/rules.tao.GNU: added -Wno-uninitialized with egcs 2.91.x.
          It seems to be overly aggressive:

            DynAny_i.cpp:565: warning: `class TAO_DynAny_i * this' might be
            used uninitialized in this function

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile: added include of rules.tao.GNU, to pick up
          -Wno-unused and -Wno-uninitialized with g++/egcs.

Sun Oct 18 22:05:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/SchedEntry.{cpp,h,i}
          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/Scheduler.h:
          Propagated warnings for unresolved remote RT_Info dependencies
          throughout the call graph in the strategized scheduler, enabled
          schedule table generation even when there are unresolved remote
          dependencies or the utilization bound is exceeded. These changes
          allow iterative development of a schedule with useful scheduler
          warnings in debug mode.

Sun Oct 18 21:40:23 1998  Sergio Flores  <sergio@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        unreferenced variables that caused warnings.  Deleted some
        variables that were not being used.  Cleaned up the code a bit.

Sun Oct 18 15:59:36 1998  Matthew J Braun  <mjb2@cec.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Param_Test/param_test_i.cpp: Changed use of "TRUE" to 1

Sun Oct 18 09:32:38 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Event_Latency/Event_Latency.cpp (push,
          start_generating_events): fixed a couple of 64-to-32
          bit casts so that it will compile for VxWorks.

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_i.cpp (Supplier):
          reordered initializers to match declaration order.

        * utils/IOR_Parser/ior-handler.cpp (getString,getIdlInterface):
          declared char arrays that are used for return values as static.

Sat Oct 17 13:04:50 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.30 released.

Sat Oct 17 10:34:01 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Sequence: Added a hash() method to TAO_Base_Sequence().
          This makes it possible to use TAO bounded and unbounded
          sequences in the ACE_Hash_Map_Manager.  Thanks to David Levine
          and John Geiss for reporting this.

Sat Oct 17 00:44:10 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.29 released.

Fri Oct 16 15:48:48 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

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

        * tao/POA.cpp: Changed from operator++ to ++operator to be more
          efficient.  Thanks to Irfan for suggesting this change.

Fri Oct 16 17:00:47 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_array/cdr_op_cs.cpp:
                     be_visitor_enum/cdr_op_cs.cpp:
                     be_visitor_exception/cdr_op_cs.cpp:

                     be_visitor_union/cdr_op_cs.cpp:

          The generated <<, >> operators now have the C++ "inline" keyword
          before them. Thanks to Chris Cleeland for suggesting this.

Fri Oct 16 04:16:19 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Object_Table and POA: Changed the object table and POA/TAO
          options such that the POA now supports linear, active, and
          dynamic lookup strategies with the system id policy and supports
          linear, and dynamic lookup strategies with the user id policy.
          The default lookup strategy for the system id policy is active,
          while the default lookup strategy for the user id policy is
          dynamic.

          Note that the active lookup strategy is only supported with the
          system id policy.  This is so because the user cannot decide the
          id for the active lookup strategy. It must be generated by the
          system.

          Also, added the ability for TAO_Dynamic_Hash_ObjTable and
          TAO_Linear_ObjTable to create object ids.  This makes them
          usable with the system id policy.

        * tao/default_server.cpp (parse_args): Replaced -ORBdemuxstrategy
          with -ORBsystemidpolicydemuxstrategy and
          -ORBuseridpolicydemuxstrategy.

        * tao/params.h (TAO_Demux_Strategy): Removed TAO_NONE.  It was not
          being used.

Fri Oct 16 01:52:01 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.28 released.

        aesthetic changes to the help.

Fri Oct 16 00:45:22 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Notifier_Input_Handler.h
        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Notifier_Input_Handler.cpp

        up the wording for the help in the README and source files.
        Thanks to Brian Gilstrap <gilstrap_b@ociweb.com> for pointing this
        out.

Thu Oct 15 22:06:48 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp: Fixed the help message to print the
        new options -H linear_search and -H binary_search.

Thu Oct 15 21:20:56 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AVStreams.idl: Uncommented the previously
        commented out code that uses Property.

Thu Oct 15 20:08:36 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/client.cpp:
        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/server.h:
          Removed Naming service code from all the files. MT_Cubit
          uses only files to share iors of servants to clients. So -s option
          is also removed.

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/Makefile:
          Removed liborbsvcs from the LD_LIBS.

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MT_Cubit_Test:
          Removed -s option for server and client.

Thu Oct 15 17:29:42 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/orbsvcs[_static].dsp: Added EC_UDP_Admin.cpp.
          Thanks to Russell L. Carter <rcarter@dnstoo.consys.com> for
          reporting this.


Thu Oct 15 13:54:23 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_i.cpp:
          examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_i.h
          Changed the names as they conflicted with (lowercase)
          supplier.cpp on NT.

Thu Oct 15 13:22:39 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO/tests/Param_Test/param_test_i.cpp:
          Added a Param_Test:: qualifier to declaration of
          PathSpec_var rPathSpec - got rid of a compile error.

Thu Oct 15 10:49:58 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.27 released.

Wed Oct 14 23:33:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.26 released.

Wed Oct 14 20:10:00 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Mcast/EC_Mcast.cpp:
          This test uses the Reactive version of the EC, just to show how
          to configure the EC in that mode (this test does not attempt to
          preserve priorities, so it is good place to put this).

        * tao/encode.cpp:
          Fixed encoding for Any when both cdr_ and value_ are zero
          (usually when the Any is holding a tk_null).

Wed Oct 14 18:35:26 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

Wed Oct 14 11:20:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.25 released.

Wed Oct 14 10:47:47 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB_Core.cpp:
          Fixed template instantiations.

Wed Oct 14 00:42:25 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.24 released.

Tue Oct 13 23:03:24 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB_Core.h:

        * tao/ORB_Core.cpp:
        * tao/Invocation.i:
        * tao/Connect.cpp:
        * tao/CDR.h:
        * tao/CDR.cpp:
          The input CDR can be created using a user provided data block,
          this is used to select the right kind of locking for the
          Data_Block reference count.  The ORB_Core acts as a Factory of
          Data_Blocks, selecting the right type according to the
          -ORBinputcdrallocator option.

        * orbsvcs/Event_Service/svc.conf:
          Use the appropiate allocator for the EC, because it shares the
          CDR buffers between several threads (to minimize data copying).

Tue Oct 13 22:15:53 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Throughput/ECT_Supplier.cpp (svc): Must set the
          wr_ptr correctly.  Otherwise, the ORB doesn't know how much to
          data to encode.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Manip.cpp (_create): event_set
          length must be calculated before the call to get_buffer() since
          that call will change the length.

Tue Oct 13 17:04:15 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Any.cpp: Modified copy constructor and assignment operator
          to avoid encoding the value of the source Any when it is 0
          (which it is if the Any was constructed from just a typecode).
          Perhaps this sequence of calls should never be made, but this
          guards against it anyway.

Tue Oct 13 10:51:10 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB.cpp: Thread ids in some platforms (ex: HP-UX) are
          structures, so they cannot be initialized to 0.  Thanks to David
          Janello <David.Janello@abnamro.com> for reporting this.

Tue Oct 13 09:16:20 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/DynSched.cpp: changed a handful
          of == to =.  Thanks, g++ :-)

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.cpp (dump_results):
          changed type of static array elements from int to
          CORBA::ULong to avoid signed/unsigned comparisons.

Mon Oct 12 18:55:00 1998  Chris Gill  <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu>

          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/EC_Gateway_UDP.cpp
          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/DynSched.{cpp, h}
          orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Sched/SchedEntry.{cpp, i}: Added a new kind RT_Info
          type for EC_Gateway RT_Infos that depend on remote invocations.  This
          change facilitates building a distributed schedule without requiring
          the use of a single global scheduling service.  Thanks to Tom
          Venturella <thomas.e.venturella@boeing.com> for this idea.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Runtime_Scheduler.cpp

          orbsvcs/tests/Sched_Conf/Sched_Conf.{cpp, dsp}
          orbsvcs/tests/Sched_Conf/Sched_Conf_Runtime.{cpp, dsp, h}  (NEW):
          Fixed a number of problems with correctness and usability of the
          config and runtime schedulers, and the scheduler factory.  Thanks
          to Amir Bahmanyari <abahmany@teknowledge.com> for providing detailed
          debugging reports.

Mon Oct 12 18:32:01 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/try_macros.h:
          Added new macros to support multiple TRY blocks in the same
          function. Andy is going to test them.

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/README:
          The file still made references to the -s option.

Mon Oct 12 14:55:41 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/CosNaming_i.cpp (TAO_NamingContext): Made
          a mistaken with my Naming_Context change for the
          Hash_Map_Manager.  We need to use the argument to set the size
          of the table, not the data member since it hasn't been assigned
          yet.  Thanks to Chris Gill and Kirthika for reporting this.

Mon Oct 12 11:30:38 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.h:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.i:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Memory_Pools.cpp:
          Removed some template instantiations that were not used anymore.
          Moved the template instantiations related to memory pool from
          Event_Channel.cpp into Memory_Pools.cpp
          Added a comparison operator for the TAO_EC_Event class, this is
          needed to complete the instantiation of ACE_Array<TAO_EC_Event>.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Manip.h:
          The constructor was private, making some g++ variants very
          angry.

Mon Oct 12 10:31:35 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/CosNaming_i: Removed the need to allocate
          HASH_MAP dynamically.  This helps improve performance and also
          eliminates another point of failure in the constructor.

Mon Oct 12 09:52:46 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/CosNaming_i.cpp (TAO_NamingContext ctor):
          reordered initializers to match declaration order.

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/run_tests.pl:
          put ./ in front of executable names.  That way, users
          don't need to have . in their path.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Memory_Pools.i:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Memory_Pools.cpp:
          Implemented a new class to manage event life time.  There are
          two components to the new strategy: a reference counted version
          of the EventSet buffer and a smart pointer to a single event in
          the buffer.
          This new strategy allowed us to go down from 6 memory copies to
          1 copies for events received remotely (and 2 for local events).
          Since the copies were nested and the Event structure can be
          quite complicated this reduced the number of memory allocations
          significantly.
          The old CORBA_Utils classes are no longer needed.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.h:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.i:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.cpp:
          Fixed a problem with correlation, if a consumer was expecting
          A&B and a supplier sent A, A, B the consumer received two copies
          of A.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.i:

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/README:
        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Mcast/README:
          The README file was out of date.

        * docs/releasenotes/TODO.html:
          Updated the task corresponding to this change.

1998-10-11  Marina Igorevna Spivak  <marina@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/Naming_Service.{h, cpp}, README: Added a
        command line option to specify how long a service should run
        before shutting down.  This is useful for running purify,
        quantify, or avoiding having explicitly kill the process.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/CosNaming_i.{h,cpp}:
        Removed several memory allocations (in <get_context>, and
        <resolve>).
        Factored some common code out into <populate_binding> function.
        Cleaned up some code and got rid of <bind_new_context_helper>.
        Changed TAO_NamingContext to contain a pointer to the hash map
        rather than actual object to allow command line option of choosing
        the size of hash map allocated upon creation (rather than using
        the default size).

Sun Oct 11 17:59:32 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Client_i.cpp (CLient_i::run ()):
        changed the argument wrongly passed to the unregister_callback
        from Consumer_var to Consumer_var.in ().

Sun Oct 11 17:09:16 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/interface_cs.cpp:
        * tao/POAC.cpp:
        * tao/PolicyC.cpp:
        * tao/DynAnyC.cpp:
        * tao/CurrentC.cpp:
          Optimized _narrow() it does not need to call _create_stub() on
          the collocated case, using the CORBA::Object stub is good
          enough.

1998-10-11  Marina Igorevna Spivak  <marina@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/Naming_Service.h : change the order of
        data member declarations to match initialization order in
        constructors in .cpp file.

1998-10-10  Marina Igorevna Spivak  <marina@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/Naming_Utils.{h, cpp}: Updated
        TAO_Naming_Server to take in and pass on a parameter specifying
        the size for the naming cotexts' hash tables.

        * orbsvcs/Naming_Service/Naming_Service.{h, cpp}, README: Added a
        command line option to specify size of hash tables
        allocated upon creation of naming contexts.

Sat Oct 10 22:31:00 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Client_i.cpp:
         added the part where the consumer keys in information.

Sat Oct 10 16:19:11 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/CDR/tc.cpp:
          This file was still referencing CORBA::_tc_Bounds and
          CORBA::_tc_BadKind

1998-10-10  Marina Igorevna Spivak  <marina@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/client.cpp: Added parenthesis to
        avoid warnings when compiling on NT.

Sat Oct 10 00:51:52 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.23 released.

Fri Oct 09 23:48:40 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Server_Request.cpp (set_exception and set_result): Used the
          Any copy constructor to copy the user provided any.

Fri Oct  9 17:13:32 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AV/Endpoint_Strategy_T.cpp: Used the host and
          pid to get a unique names for the vdev and streamendpoint objects
          to register with the Naming Service while using the Process
          Endpoint strategy. This will avoid name clashes between the audio and
          video process.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AV/Endpoint_Strategy.cpp: Used the child's host
          and pid to lookup for Vdev and streamendpoint for the process
          endpoint strategy.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/AV/AVStreams_i.cpp: Removed the code that used
          _out variable to pacify sun_CC warnings. Sun_CC doesn't complain
          anymore.

Fri Oct  9 16:44:14 1998  Nagarajan Surendran  <naga@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/source/mpeg_shared/Receiver.idl:
          Added this new interface for the Trader Agent to push the server
          mmdevice and the filenames to the mpeg client.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/source/mpeg_client/Command_Handler.{h,cpp}:
          Added code to implement the Receiver interface.
          Fixed memory leaks.
          Fixed the code so that it works for multiple movies i.e
          tears down the stream after every movie and starts a new
          connection.
          Also made code robust by using suspend and resume
          handlers for the video client to wait for the initial frame from
          the server.
          Added an option to specify the data host to bind for
          the data which can be used for specify an ATM interface.
          Fixed the problem of Play command not playing from where
          fastforward/rewind stopped.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/source/mpeg_client/ctr.cpp:

          Removed some unnecessary and redundant code and moved them into
          classes in Command_Handler.cpp.

        * orbsvcs/tests/AVStreams/mpeg/source/client/vcr.cpp:

          Fixed the code so that it passes the command line arguments
          properly to the command_handler.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Throughput/ECT_Consumer.h:
        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Throughput/ECT_Consumer.cpp:
          We measure and report the elapsed time for the test (in the case
          of the consumer the time since we receive the first event).
          We use this to measure throughput (in events per second).

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Memory_Pools.h:

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Dispatching_Modules.h:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Dispatching_Modules.cpp:
          We do not overload operator new and operator delete anymore. The
          allocators we were using were problematic for this use case and
          we believe that a better speed up can be obtained by reducing
          the number of allocations.  Thanks to "Mark Hyett"
          <mhyett@std.saic.com>, "Mark L. Boriack"
          <mboriack@std.saic.com>, "J. Russell Noseworthy"

Fri Oct 09 15:27:17 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB_Core.cpp (~App_Allocated): Free up the memory pool
          before deleting the allocators.

Fri Oct  9 13:42:47 1998  Shawn Michael Atkins  <sma1@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Thruput/TAO/results/REMOTE/README: added this
          file so cvs won't erase these empty directories for storing
          results of the thruput test. Note: also added the empty
          directories ./results/REMOTE.

        * performance-tests/Thruput/TAO/run_client: run_client now checks
          for the testname directory and if it doesn't exist, it will
          create a directory to put the results.

Fri Oct 09 02:19:09 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/IIOP_Object.cpp (Profile): Added new constructor.

        * tao/Operation_Table.cpp:
        * tao/Operation_Table.h:
        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp:

          Integrated Linear Search operation lookup strategy option to
          TAO_IDL. We use again GPERF for generating lookup method for
          this. Thanks to great work by Vishal (vishal@cs), GPERF has an
          option to generate linear search code.

Thu Oct  8 17:37:14 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Typecode_Constants.h:
        * tao/Typecode_Constants.cpp:
          Moved the CORBA::TypeCode::_tc_Bounds and
          CORBA::TypeCode::_tc_Kind typecodes to their proper namespace.

        * docs/releasenotes/TODO.html:
          Updated some tasks related to the last change.

        * tao/Connect.cpp:
          If an exception is thrown while handling a oneway request we
          just ignore it, unless the debugging flags in the ORB are
          enabled, in that case we print an informative message and the
          exception.

        * tao/ORB_Core.h:
        * tao/ORB_Core.cpp:
          The App_Allocated class does not own the CDR allocators all the
          time, sometimes they are global and shared by all the
          App_Allocated objects.

Thu Oct 08 16:14:04 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB_Core.{h,cpp} (~App_Allocated): Added a destructor for
          this class.  Some of its members are now allocated from the heap
          and they need to be deleted.

Thu Oct  8 12:15:38 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Throughput/ECT_Supplier.h:

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Throughput/ECT_Consumer.h:
        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Throughput/ECT_Consumer.cpp:
          The new test sends "bursts" of events, without any pause between
          each event. Multiple burst can be sent with small pauses in
          between.
          Shutdown works now, even if multiple suppliers and multiple
          consumers are beign used. The ECT_Consumer program only needs to
          know the number of suppliers beign used.

Thu Oct 08 09:50:18 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Property/CosPropertyService_i.h: Added #progma
          to disable VC "inheritance via dominance" warnings.

        * docs/releasenotes/orbcore.html (Miscellany): Fixed a dead link.
          Thanks to Mark Weel <weel@lucent.com> for reporting this.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Property/CosPropertyService_i.cpp
        (delete_property): Fixed the double deletion case. Thanks to
        "Ulf Jhrig" <jaehrig@desys.com> for reporting this.

Wed Oct  7 21:44:52 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/try_macros.h:
          Some compilers (MSVC++ 5.0) will complain about throwing an
          exception and not returning a value.

        * tao/Object_Table.cpp:
          The find() method on the object table was asserting that the
          entry ought to be in use, in fact if the entry was free the
          object was not found and we just have to return -1.

Wed Oct 07 14:49:32 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/orbsvcs[_static].dsp: Added property service
          files.  Thanks to Ulf Jaehrig <jaehrig@desys.com> for noticing
          this.

Wed Oct 07 11:33:37 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/POA.cpp (state): Fully qualified the enums of the
          POA_Manager's Processing_State.  Thanks to John Morey
          <jmorey@tbi.com> for helping with this.

Wed Oct  7 10:53:45 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_i.cpp:
          Added missing template instantiations.

Wed Oct  7 09:19:00 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/try_macros.h (TAO_RETHROW): Added a return to
          TAO_THROW_ENV_RETURN.  Thanks to John Morey for reporting this.

Wed Oct  7 08:39:59 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * tao/try_macros.h:

          Added a backslash in a the TAO_TRY macro definition. Thanks to
          John Morey (jmorey@tbi.com) for sending the bug fix.

Wed Oct  7 08:29:51 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * doc/compiler.html:

          Updated the documentation for the -Ge, -Gt options. Thanks to

Wed Oct  7 000:13:19 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

  * presentations/TAO/dynany.tex:
    New file for use whenever the nexr presentation comes around.

Wed Oct 07 00:07:43 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Thruput/TAO/server.cpp:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Simulator/DOVEMIB/svr.cpp:

          Changed "RootPOA_is_BAD" to "child_poa".  It was sending
          negative POA vibes ;-)

Tue Oct 06 22:49:27 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/Connect.cpp (handle_close): Replaced this->shutdown() with
          explicit removal from the reactor and explicit closing of the
          socket.  this->shutdown() also doing too much since it was also
          purging the recycling act from the recycler. We need the
          recycling act to be available until all the reference to the
          Svc_Handlers are removed and the Svc_Handler is destroyed since
          we need the recycling act to check the hint.

          Thanks to Mark L. Boriack <mboriack@std.saic.com> for helping in
          tracking down this problem.

Tue Oct  6 22:12:30 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Simple/grid/Grid_i.cpp: Fixed bugs with exceptions.
          Thanks to Tom Dobridge <dobridge@persimmon.com> for pointing
          this out.

Tue Oct  6 21:25:22 1998  Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO-INSTALL.html: Added an extra note about compiling the
          release version.  Care has to be taken since conflicts
          between the two tao_idl compilers can occur.

Tue Oct  6 21:02:24 1998  Vishal Kachroo  <vishal@merengue.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Simple/bank/AccountManager_i.cpp (close): Changed
          TAO_TRY_ENV to _env to avoid duplicate definition.  Thanks to
          Tom Dobridge <dobridge@persimmon.com> for pointing this out.

Tue Oct  6 20:28:10 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/try_macros.h: The TAO_TRY macro generates a new do/while
          block even for the native C++ exception case, this is more
          consistent with the alternative mapping.  Thanks to Tom Dobridge
          <dobridge@persimmon.com> for pointing this out.

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/MarketFeed_i.cpp: *
          examples/Callback_Quoter/Client_i.cpp: Removed instantiations of
          TAO_TRY_ENV because TAO_TRY does it for us.  Thanks to Tom
          Dobridge <dobridge@persimmon.com> for pointing this out.


Tue Oct  6 20:05:55 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_i.cpp (unregister_callback):
          removed a variable which was defined unnecessarily.  Thanks to
          David Levine for reporting this.

Tue Oct  6 17:16:46 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/DynUnion_i.cpp: Another try at making VxWorks happy without
          using memcmp in DynUnion_i_T.cpp. This should do it.

Tue Oct  6 13:01:24 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sunsoft.cpp: Fixed some problems with char and
          octet constants.  Thanks to Anders W. Tell
          <anderst@toolsmiths.se> for reporting this.

Tue Oct 06 11:23:32 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MT_Cubit_Test: added
          support for server and client on different machines, using
          -r option.  It assumes that the user's shell is Bourne
          shell-compatible.  I'll try to fix that soon.

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/plot: plot high
          priority in blue, low in light green.

Tue Oct  6 10:26:06 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Multiple/EC_Multiple.cpp:
          Dummy initialization for "observer_handler" to give compilers
          some peace of mind about its use.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/EC_Gateway.cpp:
          Assigning an _var to a _ptr is ambiguous, we have to use .in().

Tue Oct  6 08:06:33 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp:

          Added a -Gi option to enable interpretive marshaling. More work
          needs to be done here such that we can selectively generate
          compiled or interpretive marshaling based on some pragmas.

        * docs/compiler.html:

          Added documentation for the new options for the IDl compiler.

Tue Oct 06 03:56:05 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.20 released.

        * TAO version 0.2.19 released.

Tue Oct  6 02:58:35 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/compiler.html: Updated documentation for the new Binary
        Search operation lookup stratetgy.

Tue Oct 06 00:11:11 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.18 released.

Mon Oct  5 22:12:07 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/EC_Gateway.cpp:
          Added some template instantiations.

        * docs/Options.html:
        * docs/configurations.html:
          Added a few comments for the latest options.

Mon Oct 05 21:43:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.17 released.

Mon Oct  5 20:35:28 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/EC_Gateway.h:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/EC_Gateway.cpp:
          The IIOP Gateways were not preserving the remote supplier IDs
          properly. The current implementation uses a map of
          ProxyPushConsumer on the "local" EC, using a different entry for
          each supplier ID the local consumers show interest in.
          At run-time the events are dispatched to the corresponding entry
          in the map.
          A special consumer is used for all the other events.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.cpp:
          Fixed a dead-lock during shutdown.
          Also fixed some problems while updating the Observers; we held
          the EC lock during the complete process, but it is fairly common
          to make changes to the EC while the observers are beign updated.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Multiple/EC_Multiple.cpp:
          Some improvements on shutdown.

        * docs/releasenotes/TODO.html:
          Updated the tasks corresponding to the changes in this ChangeLog
          entry.

Mon Oct  5 21:16:53 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Supplier_i.cpp (unregister_callback):
          The code to perform the unregistration of the consumer was added.

Mon Oct 05 18:54:31 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Naming/CosNaming_i: Fixed the POA id generation
          to take into account the name of the parent.  Otherwise everyone
          was using the same "namespace".

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit: Added the testing of
          sequences of structs.

Mon Oct  5 18:07:38 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Makefile: Changed the Makefile so that it'll now also
          build the new Callback_Quoter test.

Mon Oct  5 18:15:31 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tests/Param_Test/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Logger/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/Makefile:
        * examples/Quoter/Makefile:
        * examples/POA/Forwarding/Makefile:
        * examples/POA/Generic_Servant/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Makefile:
        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Makefile:
          Removed the -Gc options for the IDL compiler, if wanted the
          option can be added on the command line when invoking make, as:
          $ make TAO_IDLFLAGS=-Gc

Mon Oct  5 17:29:14 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/DynUnion_i.cpp:
        * tao/DynUnion_i_T.cpp:
          Put a preprocessor conditional around the case that
          instantiates the longlong type of template class
          in get_extractor(). Because of this, the memcmp in
          DynUnion_i_T.cpp has been removed - no need for it
          now and VxWorks and Chorus should still be happy.

Mon Oct 05 16:39:44 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/corba.h: Removed duplicated macro definitions that are
          defined in try_macros.h.

        * tao/try_macros.h (TAO_CATCH): Added ACE_UNUSED_ARG (VAR) for
          this when TAO_USE_EXCEPTIONS and removed ACE_UNUSED_ARG (VAR)
          when !TAO_USE_EXCEPTIONS.

        * tao/Dyn{Any,Array,Enum,Sequence,Struct,Union}_i.cpp: Changed
          exceptions CORBA::NO_MEMORY to CORBA::NO_MEMORY () to avoid
          compilation errors when TAO_USE_EXCEPTIONS is enabled.

Mon Oct 05 16:13:48 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.16 released.

Mon Oct 05 15:37:26 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO version 0.2.15 released.

Mon Oct  5 14:56:03 1998  Kirthika Parameswaran  <kirthika@cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Callback_Quoter/Consumer_i.cpp (push):
          Since I was checking whether the stock_value was greater
          than the threshold desired, I changed the consumer's reaction
          to selling shares rather than buying them.

Mon Oct 05 13:52:17 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/DynAnyC.cpp,DynArray_i.cpp,DynEnum_i.cpp,DynSequence_i.cpp,
          DynStruct_i.cpp,DynUnion_i.cpp,DynUnion_i_T.cpp:
          added ACE_LACKS_LONG_LONG_T support.

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Multiple/EC_Multiple.cpp (print_priority_info):
          use ACE_OS::getpid () instead of getpid ().

Mon Oct  5 11:28:02 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.cpp:
          MSVC++ does not like
              auto_ptr<Foo> x = new Foo;
          but it does like
              auto_ptr<Foo> x (new Foo);
          Thanks to Nanbor for catching this problem and commiting the
          fix.

Mon Oct  5 10:47:52 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.cpp:

          Had to remove the code that Carlos had added to propagate the
          exception from the _tao_skel_env to the _tao_env parameter. This
          was necessary since we no longer use the _tao_skel_env parameter.

Mon Oct  5 07:54:21 EDT 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/compiled_marshal.cpp:

          There was a bug in the generated code. Thanks to David Levine
          for sending me the bug report.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.cpp:
          TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/interface_ss.cpp:

          We no longer need the _tao_skel_environment variable in the
          skeletons. These modifications were necessary to maintain
          support for both the compiled as well as interpretive
          marshaling. The _is_a_skel now generates a proper
          TAO_CHECK_ENV_RETURN_VOID statement.

          Also made sure that unused local variables are not generated.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/rettype_vardecl_ss.cpp
          TAO_IDL/be_include/be_visitor_operation/rettype_vardecl_ss.h:

          Added a new visitor for compiled marshaling for the generation
          of return type variable in the  server skeleton code.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_factory.cpp:

          For compiled marshaling we now invoke a new visitor for the
          return val variable in the skeleton. The reason we do this is
          since the interpreted version uses an OBject_var.

        * tao/{CurrentS, POAS, PolicyS}.cpp:

          Since we no longer use the _tao_skel_environment, we had to make
          the necessary modifications.

        * tao/Server_Request.{h, cpp}:

          The marshal method no longer takes in the _skel_env parameter

Mon Oct 05 06:44:11 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.cpp (run): declare loop
          index "i" outside of loop because it is used again.

Sun Oct  4 19:48:25 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.cpp:
          Exceptions were not beign transmitted from the server back to
          the client.  We need to rethink the use of two environments in
          the skeleton.

Sun Oct  4 16:37:23 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.h:
        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.cpp:
          It is now possible to have several suppliers with the same ID on
          the same Event Channel.
          I also fixed a bug with the supplier reconnections: if a
          consumer was filtering by source it wouldn't receive the events
          if the supplier disconnected and connected again.  Thanks to
          Thomas Venturella <tventurell@mdc.com> for some his hints on how
          to fix this.
          Fixed some problems with exception handling and propagation.

        * orbsvcs/tests/Makefile:
        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/Makefile:

        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.i:
        * orbsvcs/tests/EC_Basic/EC_Basic.cpp:
          Added a new test for the Event Channel, this will grow to become
          the main regression test for the EC, at this point it only tests
          the use of several suppliers with the same ID.

        * docs/releasenotes/TODO.html:
          Update the file.

Sun Oct  4 15:40:05 1998  Balachandra Natarajan  <bala@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Any.cpp
          Anticipated fix for break in build. The TypeCode_ptr was not
          completely qualified (as CORBA::TypeCode_ptr).

Sun Oct 04 08:40:12 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/Task_Client.cpp,client.cpp,
          server.cpp,run_tests.pl: used IIOP instead of URL style obj
          refs for maximum performance.

Sat Oct  3 20:20:14 1998  Alexander Babu Arulanthu  <alex@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interface.cpp (gen_gperf_lookup_methods): Added
        code to handle Binary Search operation lookup strategy. Not yet
        tested with GPERF.

        * tao/Operation_Table.cpp: Added class for Binary Search operation
        lookup strategy. s

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_codegen.h: New LOOKUP_STRATEGY enum for
        Binary search.

        * tao/Operation_Table.h (TAO_Active_Demux_OpTable): Added class
        for Binary Search operation lookup strategy.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be_interface.h (be_type): Added private
        methods to generate code for binary searh and linear search. Not
        yet tested with GPERF. Doesnt harm using the old operation lookup
        strategies.

        * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h (class IDL_GlobalData): Renamed
        perfect_hasher by gperf_path. gperf is going to be used for binary
        search and linear search as well. So it is not specific to perfect
        hashing.

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp (DRV_parse_args): Changed the option
        <-H dynamic> to <-H dynamic_hash>. Added options
        <-H perfect_hash>, <-H binary_search> and <-H linear_search>. Do
        NOT try these *_search options yet. It is yet to be tested with
        GPERF. Also extended testing for GPERF's existance in the case of
        Binary Search strategy also.

Sat Oct  3 19:35:05 1998  Balachandra Natarajan  <bala@lambada.cs.wustl.edu>

        * Any.cpp
          Fix for memeory leaks in extraction.

Sat Oct  3 15:16:05 1998  Marina Igorevna Spivak  <marina@mambo.cs.wustl.edu>

        * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/README
        * orbsvcs/tests/Simple_Naming/run_test.pl
        Added destroy test to the set of tests already there.

Sat Oct 03 09:54:14 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * performance-tests/Thruput/Orbix/Makefile: removed
          Quantify/Purify relics.

        * performance-tests/Thruput/Orbix/ttcp_decl.h,ttcp_i.cpp,
          Client.cpp,Srv_Main.cpp: replace USE_QUANTIFY with
          ACE_HAS_QUANTIFY.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_scope.cpp (next_elem): initialized
          local "node" to 0 to avoid g++ warning about possible
          uninitialized used.

Fri Oct  2 23:03:20 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * docs/releasenotes/ec.html:
          Added an entry to explain the differences between the TAO event
          service and the standard CORBA event service.

Fri Oct  2 20:16:35 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/DynAnyC.cpp:
          David got a couple of warnings with Dec cxx that led me to
          some lines that I had commented out to find a bug and
          forgot to uncomment.

Fri Oct  2 20:02:42 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_sunsoft.cpp:
          IDL compiler will now generate correct code for
          a constant char that is an escape sequence.

Fri Oct 02 16:49:59 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

         * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/Task_Client.{h,cpp},
           client.cpp,server.cpp: replaced NO_ACE_QUANTIFY with
           ACE_HAS_QUANTIFY.

         * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_Cubit/MT_Cubit_Test:
           kill with -15 instead of -1, because HUP no longer
           kills TAO processes.

Fri Oct  2 16:09:24 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/IIOP_Object.i (use_locate_requests): Changed the 1s to 0s so
          they would work correctly.  Thanks to Michael Kircher
          <mlkirche@trick.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> for reporting this.

Fri Oct 02 09:02:54 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.cpp: Removed an
          unused local variable, not the one Andy just added. ;)

Fri Oct  2 08:18:28 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.cpp:

          There was a local variable that got removed by mistake while
          removing all unused locals. It has been reincluded.

Thu Oct  1 23:31:34 1998  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * Updated the dependencies in all the Makefiles due to the DynAny
          changes.

Thu Oct  1 22:05:39 1998  Jeff Parsons <jp4@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/DynAny.pidl:

          All the DynAny stuff, plus the necessary additions to
          other TAO files, plus mods to Unix Makefile and VC
          project file. Builds were successful using VC5, Sun cc
          and GNU g++.

Thu Oct 01 21:21:19 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.cpp
          (gen_raise_exception):
          (gen_check_exception):
          (gen_demarshal_params): Removed unused local variable(s) to

        * performance-tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/collocation_test.dsp:
          Removed orbsvcs reference.

Thu Oct 01 14:22:35 1998  Nanbor Wang  <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/CDR.i (operator<<): Changed to use TAO_CHECK_ENV for Any,
          Object and TypeCode operations and added trailing return
          statement to avoid warnings from MSVC.

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/tao_idl.dsp:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/tao_idl_static.dsp: Updated project based on Andy's
          changes.  (by Darrell.)

        * TAO/TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_array/any_op_cs.cpp:
        * TAO/TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_enum/any_op_cs.cpp:

          "return 0;" for generated code for operator>>= of these to avoid
          MSVC warnings.

Thu Oct  1 12:42:58 EDT 1998  Aniruddha Gokhale  <gokhale@sahyadri.research.bell-labs.com>

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_factory.cpp
                 /be_include/be_factory.h
                 /be_stream

          Renamed to be_factory.{h, cpp} to be_stream_factory.{h, cpp},
          respectively. We removed the visitor factory related classes and
          code from these files and created new files.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_interpretive.cpp
                 /be_include/be_interpretive.h:

          Removed. Instead we now have the be_visitor_factor.{h, cpp} file
        described next.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_factory.cpp
                 /be_include/be_visitor_factory.h:

          Added the abstract base class visitor factory called
          "TAO_Visitor_Factory" that provides the "make_visitor" factory
          method. Special concrete visitor factories called
          "TAO_Interpreted_Visitor_Factory",
          "TAO_Compiled_Visitor_Factory", and "TAO_Common_Visitor_Factory"
          are now available as Singleton concrete factories.

          The TAO_Common_Visitor_Factory is never used directly by the
          client (i.e., the tao_cg object). There are several visitors
          that are common to both the interpretive as well as the compiled
          approaches e.g., interface code generation, any operators,
          etc. Thus, the two primary factories (interpretive or compiled)
          will internally delegate code generation to the common factory
          based on the state.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_codegen.cpp
                 /be_include/be_codegen.h:

          Removed a large number of unused enumerations for the
          CG_STATE. Also, renamed all the *DOCALL* states to *INVOKE*
          states to make it look generic and applicable to both
          interpretive as well as compiled marshaling.

          Added a new method called "config_visitor_factory (void)". This
          allows the TAO_CODEGEN Singleton object to be strategized with
          the desired visitor factory which can be either the interpretive
          or the compiled visitor factory, but never the common
          factory. The common factory gets invoked internally by the other
          two factories as described before. This strategy is fixed based on
          the command line option provided to the compiler.

          We no longer create a new factory and own it. Instead, as
          described before, we simply hold a pointer to the abstract base
          factory. This is initialized to either the interpretive or
          compiled factory objects using the config_visitor_factory
          method.

        * TAO_IDL/be_include/be.h:

          Made the necessary changes due to the addition and renaming of
          files described above.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_produce.cpp:

          We call the config_visitor_factory method on our TAO_CODEGEN
          singleton, strategy object. It will configure itself with the
          right visitor factory.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_argument.cpp
                 /be_include/be_visitor_argument.h:

          Added new include *.{h, cpp} files described next.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_argument/compiled_marshal_cs.cpp
                                        /compiled_marshal_ss.cpp
                                        /pre_invoke_cs.cpp
                 /be_include/be_visitor_argument/compiled_marshal_cs.h
                                                /compiled_marshal_ss.h
                                                /pre_invoke_cs.h:

          New files with new visitors added for compiled marshaling
          support. The compiled_marshal_{cs,ss}.{h,cpp} has visitors that
          generates the code for marshaling and demarshaling parameters
          using the CDR <<, >> operators. The pre_invoke_cs is a visitor
          that inherits from the pre_docall_cs. Its sole purpose is to
          override  the visit_interface and visit_interface_fwd
          methods. The reason we need to do this is because for compiled
          marshaling, we do not need to deal with the base
          CORBA_Object_ptr types and do the necessary _narrow inside the
          stub/skel.  This is all done in the code for the <<, >>
          operators.

                                        /upcall_ss.cpp:

          For all the variable sized types, especially the out parameters,
          we were declaring the _var, _out, and the ptr type for the
          parameter. We no londer need to instantiate so many
          variables. We can deal with just the _var types. All actions
          including memory allocation, passing it to the do_static_call or
          the upcall, is handled using the _var parameter. This reducs
          code size as well as the activation record size since the number
          of local variables is significantly reduced.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_argument/vardecl_ss.cpp
                 /be_include/be_visitor_argument/vardecl_ss.h:

          We define an addition class called
          be_compiled_visitor_args_vardecl_ss that inherits from the base
          be_visitor_args_vardecl_ss. Its only purpose is to override the
          base class's visit_interface methods. The overridden methods
          avoid the generation of the extra local variables of the
          CORBA::Object_ptr type.

          TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_structure/any_op_cs.cpp:

          The code for <<=, and >>= now uses the TAO_TRY macros so that
          they can work with real C++ exceptions also.

          This is not yet done for all types since this is under testing.

          Modifications were necessary due to the change in the

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/interface.cpp:

          Removed some commented-out code.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_interface/interface_ss.cpp:

          The skeleton code now uses the TAO_TRY macros for seamless exception
          support between the real C++ exceptions and the alternate mapping.

          For all the variable sized return types we were declaring the
          _var, _out, and the ptr type for the parameter. We no londer
          need to instantiate so many variables. We can deal with just the
          _var types. All actions including memory allocation, passing it
          to the do_static_call is handled using the _var parameter. This
          reduces code size as well as the activation record size since
          the number of local variables is significantly reduced.

          Some other visitors such as the asrgument_invoke and
          argument_marshal are needed to generate the right number of &&
          operator at the right place in the large "if" statement that is
          generated for marshaling or unmarshaling parameters. This is
          useful only for the compiled approach.

          The base class operation visitor was added to the operation.{h,
          cpp} files. It provides a number of helper classes used commonly
          by inherited visitors.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_operation/rettype_vardecl_ss.cpp:
          TAO_IDL/be_include/be_visitor_operation/rettype_vardecl_ss.h:

          Define a new class for compiled marshaling approach that
          overrides the visit_interface method over its base class. This
          way we avoid generation of extra variables.

        * TAO_IDL/{be, be_include}/be_visitor_operation/operation_ch.{h,cpp}
          TAO_IDL/{be, be_include}/be_visitor_operation/operation_cs.{h,cpp}

          TAO_IDL/{be, be_include}/be_visitor_operation/operation_ss.{h,cpp}:

          All these now inherit from the base operation visitor.

          For the client side stubs (operation_cs.{h, cpp}) and server
          side skeletons (operation_ss.{h, cpp}), we now factor out all
          the code that is common to both the interpreted and compiled
          stubs/skels. Thus, the visit_operation method is now a template
          method. It calls operations  that are implemented only by
          derived classes. These methods e.g., gen_pre_stub_info,
          gen_marshal_and_invoke, and others will generate the code that
          is different for the interpreted vs compiled approaches..

          We define derived classes called
          "be_interpretive_visitor_operation_cs" and
          "be_compiled_visitor_operation_cs" (similarly for the skeletons)
          that provide the implementation for the pure virtual methods
          called by the template method "visit_operation".

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_scope.cpp
                 /be_include/be_visitor_scope.cpp:

          Added a new "pre_process" method. Both the pre_process and
          post_process methods now take the "be_decl *" as an
          argument. This was the change made to the post_process.

          In addition, post_process is always invoked irrespective of the
          node being the last one in the scope or not.

          To test if the node being processed is the last one, we have
          added a new method called "last_node" returning a boolean
          value. Similarly, we have added "next_elem" method that gives us
          our successor and the "elem_number" that gives us our number in
          the list.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_sequence/cdr_op_cs.cpp:

          For bounded vs unbounded strings, we generate different code for
          the CDR operators.

          I need to check if this policy is strictly followed for all
          aggregate types that can have a string member.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_sequence/gen_unbounded_sequence_ch.cpp:

          For sequences of arrays, there were some weird problems using
          the ACE_reinterpret_cast which is now fixed.

        * TAO_IDL/be/be_visitor_typedef/typedef.cpp:

          Removed lots of cases in the switch statement since we removed
          those enumerations from the CG_STATE of the TAO_CODEGEN object.

        * TAO_IDL/Makefile:

          ran make depend.

        * TAO_IDL/driver/drv_args.cpp:

          ACEified the code.

          Updated the usage_error message with new command line options.

          Handled the new options.

          -Gc - generate compiled marshaled code
          -Ge - enable C++ exception support (unimplemented)
          -Gt - generate optimized typecodes (unimplemented)
          -Sa - suppress any operators
          -St - suppress typecode generation

          The default is to always generate all the Any operators,
          TypeCodes and to use the Interpretive marshaling.

        * TAO_IDL/include/idl_global.h
                 /utils/utl_global.cpp:

          Added a number of mutator and accesor methods for the newly
          added command line options.

        * performance_tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/Cubit_Client.cpp:

          Commented out the RTI and the Union tests since the CDR
          operators are not yet done for the unions.

        * tao/Any.{h, i}
          tao/ORB.{h, i}
          tao/Object.{h, i}
          tao/Typecode.{h, i}:

          The parameter to the copy ctor and assignment operator of the
          _out class is now "const". This resolves the weird warnings we
          were getting about a temporary being created. We were also
          required to instantiate the _out type explicitly to overcome
          this. However, we no londer need to write this non-compliant
          code.

        * tao/CDR.i:

          Code for <<, >> operators for objref, typecode, and Anys had a
          bug.

        * tao/corba.h:

          Moved the inclusion of the try_macros.h before the CDR.h since
          we us the macros in the code

Thu Oct  1 11:18:35 1998  Douglas C. Schmidt  <schmidt@tango.cs.wustl.edu>

        * examples/Simple/bank/AccountManager_i.cpp: Removed the unneeded
          ';' at the end of the #pragmas.  Thanks to Margherita Vittone
          Wiersma <vittone@fndaub.fnal.gov> for reporting this.

Thu Oct 01 10:39:44 1998  David L. Levine  <levine@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB_Core.cpp (input_cdr_dblock_allocator): wrapped
          break following return with ACE_NOTREACHED, in two places.

        * orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Event/Event_Channel.cpp: removed
          ACE_Malloc<ACE_LOCAL_MEMORY_POOL, ACE_SYNCH_MUTEX>
          instantiation because it's now in tao/ORB_Core.cpp.

Thu Oct 01 00:17:17 1998  Irfan Pyarali  <irfan@cs.wustl.edu>

        * tao/ORB_Core.h: Removed template specialization for
          INET_Addr.hash(). Also changed/fixed explicit template
          instantiations.
