<H3>Proposal for Splitting ACE into Multiple Libraries</H3>
The following is a draft of our proposal for spliting ACE into
multiple libraries, each of which will contain a smaller subset of the
overall ACE functionality. The primary motivations for subsetting ACE
are:
<UL>
<LI> <EM>Principle of parsimony</EM> -- <EM>i.e.</EM>, developers
should incur time/space overhead for components they use, rather
than for all the components in the ACE framework. <P>
<LI> <EM>Simplify the learning curve</EM> -- <EM>i.e.</EM>, developers
only need to learn how to program components that they actually
use. <P>
</UL>
The main design goals of this proposal are as follows: <P>
<OL>
<LI> Support the original libACE as before. Thus, for users who
want to use the existing ACE library as is, there will be
no changes, i.e., just link with <CODE>libACE</CODE> as usual. <P>
<LI> Allow ACE (and TAO) programmers to use smaller subsets of the
entire <CODE>libACE</CODE> library. These subsets will include the
following libraries: <P>
<DL>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_OS</CODE> -- This library contains the OS adaptation
layer and its supporting classes. All other ACE libraries will depend
on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE> and it will depend on <EM>no</EM> other ACE
libraries. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Utils</CODE> -- This library contains the various ACE
container classes and other miscellaneous classes, such as Singleton,
auto_ptr, timers, etc. This library will depend only on
<CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>.<P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Logging</CODE> -- This library contains the various ACE
logging and tracing classes. This library will depend only on
<CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Threads</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE
thread/process management and synchronization classes. This library
will depend only on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Demux</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE Reactor and
Proactor classes. This library will depend on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>
and <CODE>libACE_Thread</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Connection</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE
Connection components, i.e., Acceptor, Connector, and Svc_Handler.
This library will depend on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>,
<CODE>libACE_Thread</CODE>, and <CODE>libACE_Demux</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Sockets</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE C++
wrappers for sockets. This library will depend on
<CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_IPC</CODE> -- This library contains all the ACE C++
wrappers for the other types of IPC and FILE I/O other than sockets.
This library will depend on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE> and
<CODE>libACE_Sockets</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Svcconf</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE C++
wrappers for the Service Configurator. This library will depend on
<CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>, <CODE>libACE_Demux</CODE>,
<CODE>libACE_Thread</CODE>, and <CODE>libACE_Sockets</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o" src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Streams</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE Streams
classes. This library will depend on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>,
<CODE>libACE_Demux</CODE>, and <CODE>libACE_Thread</CODE>. <P>
<DT> <img alt="o"
src="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/gifs/misc/redball.gif">
<CODE>libACE_Memory</CODE> -- This library contains the ACE C++
wrappers for shared memory and memory-mapped files. This library will
depend on <CODE>libACE_OS</CODE>.<P>
</DL>
</OL>
In addition, we will create <CODE>libACE_TAO</CODE>, which contains
just the core set of components in ACE that are required to support
TAO. This library is targeted at embedded systems developers who want
to minimize the footprint of ACE+TAO. <P>
Note that the ACE library subsets described above are intended as a
guideline, <EM>not</EM> a complete specification. The actual
partitioning of files in the final ACE library subsets may differ
somewhat in order to improve footprint and simplify common
use-cases. <P>
<HR><P>
<H3>Configuration Management</H3>
Configuration management for the ACE library subsets described above
will be organized as follows:
<OL>
<LI> A single source tree with a single "version" for the source
tree. <P>
<LI> Releases of libACE and its "subsets" will be atomic, <EM>i.e.</EM>,
all or nothing. <P>
</OL>
<HR><P>
<H3>Classes in Each ACE Library Subset</H3>
Below, we describe the classes in each ACE library subset.
<H4>libACE_OS</H4>
This library contains the OS adaptation layer and its supporting
classes. The classes in this library should not depend on any other
ACE library subsets. All of the other libraries will depend on this
library. The following classes are included in this library.
