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/DII_Cubit/clnt.bld:
	* tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/svr.bld:
	* tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/default.bld:
	* tests/Cubit/TAO/IDL_Cubit/clnt.bld:

	* tests/Cubit/TAO/MT_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/DII_Cubit/clnt.cpp:
	* tests/Cubit/TAO/DII_Cubit/clnt.h:
	* 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/be/be_state_typedef.cpp (gen_code):
	* TAO_IDL/be/be_state_structure.cpp (gen_code):
	* TAO_IDL/be/be_state_sequence.cpp (gen_code):
	* TAO_IDL/be/be_state_operation.cpp (gen_code):
	* TAO_IDL/be/be_state_array.cpp (gen_code): Comment out
 	unreachable break statements.

	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp (n_dims):
	* TAO_IDL/include/ast_array.h (AST_Array::n_dims):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_attribute.cpp (readonly):
	* TAO_IDL/include/ast_attribute.h (AST_Attribute::readonly):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_argument.cpp (direction):
	* TAO_IDL/include/ast_argument.h (AST_Argument::direction):
	* tao/nvlist.h (CORBA_NamedValue::name):
	* TAO_IDL/include/utl_scope.h (UTL_Scope::scope_node_type):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_predefined_type.cpp (pt):
	* 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/CosNamingC.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/CosNamingS.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminC.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecSchedulerC.h:
	* 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/RtecEventChannelAdminC.i:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventChannelAdminS.i:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommC.i:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.cpp:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.h:
	* orbsvcs/lib/RtecEventCommS.i:
	* 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.

	* 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.

	  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:
	  Fixed problem with the new Environment parameter for _narrow ().

	* 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.

Fri Nov 14 14:11:47 1997  Carlos O'Ryan  <coryan@macarena.cs.wustl.edu>

	* orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/clnt.h:
	* orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/svc.conf:
	* orbsvcs/bin/Naming_Service/TAO/svr.cpp:
	  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

	  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_idlist.h:
	* TAO/TAO_IDL/include/utl_tmpl/utl_decllist.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/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_codegen.cpp (upcase):
	* TAO_IDL/util/utl_string.cpp (canonicalize):
	* TAO_IDL/be/be_decl.cpp (tc_name2long):

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

	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_argument.cpp:
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_array.cpp:
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_attribute.cpp:

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 assign $1 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
	eliminate warnings from the compiler.

	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (operator==):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (coerce_value):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (compare):
	* TAO_IDL/ast/ast_expression.cpp (dump_expr_val):
	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).  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/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.

	* 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.

	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.
