Wow, that's a REALLY old version of ACE.  I recommend that you upgrade
to ACE+TAO x.4.7, which you can download from

http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/Download.html

under the heading "latest beta kit".

I think Windows stores the windows information in thread-specific
storage, so you need to make sure that the thread you use t initialize
the window is the same one you use to process of messages.

Sure, you can certainly use CDR for this.  There are examples of how
to do this in the C++NPv1 and C++NPv2 books

Hi Mike,

         Here are my $0.02 worth on this:

. Unless you've got a lot of CPUs, reader/writer locks will be slower than
   a mutex in most cases since they are more complicated.

. Mutexes are usually implemented by hardware instructions on most
   platforms, whereas reader/writer locks are implemented in software.

I suggest you write some simple benchmarks to validate this
empirically on your platform(2).  Any results you read about on the
web will not be as enlightening as the tests you run yourself.

Take care,

         Doug

Hi,

There's no easy answer to this question since it all depends on the
requirements you're trying to address, e.g., low cost, ubiquity,
application support, real-time performance, support for large data
centers, etc.  The good thing about using ACE
<www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html> is that it doesn't really matter
which OS you use anymore, i.e., you can develop code on one OS and
then easily run it on different one(s).

I personally use Windows, Linux, and Solaris on a regular basis.

Take care,

         Doug

I hope this isn't too much for one posting... ;)

Thanks,

Al

     DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:

         EXECUTION
	 COMPILATION


     SYNOPSIS:

Looking for stream usage with ACE_Service_Config.

     DESCRIPTION:

My application is built as a set of intercommunicating tasks (ACE_Task<>
children).  The initial  implementation created a stream and pushed modules
created from these tasks--this was done internally in  the application. 
Recently, I decided to convert this to a more dynamic application, and all of
the  tasks are now built in shared libraries and loaded into the stream using a
svc.conf file.  This led me  to several general questions that don't seem to be
addressed in the 3 major ACE books, and the  ASX/CCM_App example doesn't provide
answers either.

Let me start by saying that the application is written to run on both XP and CE.
For all of the  following discussion, I've been working on XP, i.e. I haven't
attempted to make any of this work on CE,  although that is the long term plan.

First, does the stream declaration with svc.conf allow for the removal and
addition of new services?  If  so, what's the syntax?  In my scenario, I have
several services, one is the "main" service that is  pushed onto the stream
first, i.e. at bottom of stream.  After processing messages, it sends its reply 
back UP the stream, so that the other services can receive the reply.  Most of
the other services do  little more than receive messages from a source (e.g.
socket, serial, etc.) and send messages to the  source, so their order is
immaterial.  What I'd like to be able to do is add (and remove) services as 
devices are added (or removed), e.g. plug a sensor into a serial port then
dynamically load the service  into the stream, so that its data is processed
correctly.  Note this is manual in the sense that I  physically have to plug in
the sensor, and then I would manually call reconfigure on the application 
(maybe using ACE_Service_Manager or something)--i.e. I don't want!
  my app to automatically detect the  sensor and automatically load the service.

So, the question is what's the syntax in the svc.conf to add this service to my
stream given the  following was in my svc.conf at application startup?  Note: in
this case, PacketServer is the service at  the "bottom" of the stream (i.e. it
handles everything and passes them back up the stream), and the  PacketListener
receives messages to/from a socket (UDP in this case).  There might be several 
PacketListeners (all listening on different ports) and there might be other
devices as well  (SerialListener--possibly multiple, for example).

	 #
	 static ACE_Service_Manager "-d -p 4911"

	 stream dynamic PSApp STREAM *PacketServerLib:make_PSStream() active
	 {
		 dynamic PacketServer Module *PacketServerLib:make_PSModule()
		 dynamic PacketListener Module *PacketListener:make_PLModule() "-p 65505"
	 }
	 #

If I want to add the SerialListener to this stream, can I just do...

	 #
	 stream PSApp
	 {
		 dynamic SerialListener Module *SerialListener:make_SLModule() "-c COM1"
	 }
	 #

The answer is yes, because I tried this, but then, suppose I want to insert the
SerialListener in a  specific place?  How would I do this?  Will something like
the following insert it in the right place?

	 #
	 stream PSApp
	 {
		 PacketServer
		 dynamic SerialListener Module *SerialListener:make_SLModule() "-c COM1"
		 #PacketListener
	 }
	 #

I haven't tried this for reasons you'll see below, but I'm guessing it works
because if I just do...

	 #
		 dynamic SerialListener Module *SerialListener:make_SLModule() "-c COM1"
	 #

How will it know where to put it?  The insert method on ACE_Stream<> only needs
the previous name, so it  seems that this should work.

Does the following work for removing a service?

	 #
	 stream dynamic PSApp
	 {
		 remove PacketListener
	 }
	 #

I tried this, and it seems to throw an exception because ACE_Task<>::close()
gets called twice.  I'm  guessing there's a "don't delete" flag somewhere, but I
haven't run it down yet.

The CCM_App doesn't go through adding/removing services in detail, and APG
hardly says anything about  streams in svc.conf. C++NPv2 doesn't say much about
streams in svc.conf either.  Is there a better way  to do this?  Or is there a
different example to follow?

Second, is there a way to relate to a statically allocated stream?  I mentioned
PacketServer is the  "main" service.  I want to make sure this is alway running
and always at the "bottom" of the stream.  If  it's dynamically allocated, then
it could "accidentially" get removed using svc.conf, so my initial idea  was to
statically allocate it (within the executable) and add it to a stream also
created within the  executable.  Then, have the other services loaded
dynamically and added to my stream in the application.   If I did this, could I
use...

	 #
	 stream dynamic PSApp_Internal
	 {
		 dynamic SerialListener Module *SerialListener:make_SLModule() "-c COM1"
	 }
	 #

to add a service to the stream that was allocated inside the application?  In
other words, does the name  "PSApp_Internal" relate to anything in the
structures used to manage the services.

This leads to the third question, how are static streams, modules, and tasks
managed in this situtation?   I came across a couple postings in the user group
asking about static streams, but the reply was  (basically) ...
	 "no one really does this, so if you want to you'll have to figure it out on
your own, but it's  theoretically possible if you follow how the dynamic streams
work."

And another thing, it seems that since this would be pretty common, i.e.
creating dynamic streams and  modules--given the power of the streams construct,
I'm surprised there isn't a MODULE_DECLARE/DEFINE  macro that declares a module
given two task objects. Maybe I'm missing something, but I think this would  be
pretty easy.  Likewise, a STREAM_DECLARE/DEFINE macro might be in order.  How
are these deleted since  there isn't a "gobbler" function declared, or do I have
to do this?  The CCM_App doesn't declare a  gobbler function, but then it never
really deletes the stream or the module.

Finally, my SerialListener is written as a single object that inherits from
ACE_Task<> and reads from  the serial port.  It's given the serial port in the
commandline arguments (i.e. svc.conf arguments), and  what I'd like to be able
to do is create multiple instances of this object.  I may have several similar 
devices attached to different serial ports, so I was hoping I could simply
create a new entry in  svc.conf for the second module, but give it a different
argument (e.g. "-c COM3" etc.).  Unfortunately,  ACE_Module<> requires a name
during construction, so if I wanted to instantiate 2 modules with the same 
tasks but different arguments to the task's init call, I have to provide two
separate names to the  ACE_Module<> constructors.  Is there an easy way to
handle this?  Since I can't pass arguments to the  factory function, I could
automatically generate a name, but that name needs to be referenced in the 
svc.conf file.  Is there a way to pass arguments to the factor!
y function--it doesn't appear to be the  case given that function declaration is
defined as ACE_Service_Factory_Ptr.  Am I forced to define  multiple factory
functions for each module pair--seems pointless given that the only change is
the  arguments passed in?

I don't know any out of the box methods to do this.  However, there are
a couple of tricks which may help you here.

If you want to delete a file which another process has held open, recent
versions of handle.exe from those sysinternals guys
(http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Handle.html) can help out.
Handle.exe now takes a new command-line option, -c which closes files
underneath a process.

Also, if you want to do something like the unix temporary file trick,
where you create/open a temporary file, then unlink it, you may want to
look at the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag which you can pass to
CreateFile (in the dwFlagsandAttributes parameter).  As the name
suggests, this flag means that the underlying file is deleted when you
do a CloseHandle() on the file handle which CreateFile returns.
Although that sounds very useful, it isn't a panacea.  The trouble is
that anyone else who may open the file when you've got it open has to
also specify FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, or their open will fail.

Hi Folks,

         On UNIX you can remove a file that's been open()'d be another
process and the OS will let you do this and will actually delete the
file when the final handle is closed.  Is there some way to do this on
Windows, as well?  The default behavior is to not let you remove an
open()'d file, but I'm curious as to whether there's a special system
call or option to a system call that'll enable this?

Thanks,

     AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:

A dll failed at linker step. I think that this it`s
cause of the
templates / Exports, Im pretty young with systems and
programming
but I think that the linker says:
ACE_Task<..> isnt export, and ACE_Svc_Handler is
trying to use it in
your code... I have no idea what to do with this cause
I cant find
the declaration of ACE_Export in the declaration of
the class
ACE_Svc_Handler.


     DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
         COMPILATION?
		 No.
         LINKING?
		 Yes.
             On Unix systems, did you run make
realclean first?
         EXECUTION?
		 No.
         OTHER (please specify)?
		 No.

     SYNOPSIS:
Sorry.. Lets start again!

     DESCRIPTION:
Another tip ( I suposed that its a tip.. ) Its that I
must define
the macro: ACE_HAS_TEMPLATE_TYPEDEFS to pass some
compiler errors
but I dont know what this macro affect really !!
Another macros thats I using and invoque ACE are:
ACE_HAS_DLL=1;ACE_USE_RCSID=0.

     REPEAT BY:
I dont know what more can I say.. I just press build
and get the
error that I posted before.

To ensure that we have proper version/platform/compiler information,
please make sure you fill out the appropriate problem report form
(PRF), which is in

$ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

or in

$ACE_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM

in older versions of ACE+TAO.  Make sure to include this information
when asking any questions about ACE+TAO since otherwise we have to
"guess" what version/platform/compiler/options you've using, which is
error-prone and slows down our responsiveness.

BTW, are you using VC7.1 or VC7?  You need to be using VC 7.1.

Thanks,

         Doug

Hi!, Sorry .. I have a very poor English soo .. I`ll
try to do the best I can.
I`m starting using ACE, but since 2 days I cant
continue learning. I`m getting some bug and I hope
that someone here can help me.

My system like`s: XP Professional SP2, and my develops
are in Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003 ( VC7 ).

Im using the ACE_Svc_Handler to create a new class. My
code looks like:

template< class BASE_STREAM>
class Frontend_Svc_Handler: public
ACE_Svc_Handler<BASE_STREAM, ACE_MT_SYNCH>
{....

I think that there be a problem with the use of
templates here but.. I cant solve it.

I dump the output of the link step here:

-- ERROR 1 --

Hi folks,

Actually, Riverace is adding support for CE (Pocket PC 2003 and
Windows Mobile 5) with Visual Studio 2005 for ACE 5.5. The next beta
will probably have some things working.

Our annual support customers can get early access to it if desired.

Please contact me to discuss our services and how we can help you.

Thanks,

-Steve

Hi,

         The DOC group doesn't support Windows CE, so I suggest you
contact Malcolm Spence <spence_m@...>, whose company OCI
provides commercial support.

Hi Marcus,

To ensure that we have proper version/platform/compiler information,
please make sure you fill out the appropriate problem report form
(PRF), which is in

$ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

or in

$ACE_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM
$TAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM

in older versions of ACE+TAO.  Make sure to include this information
when asking any questions about ACE+TAO since otherwise we have to
"guess" what version/platform/compiler/options you've using, which is
error-prone and slows down our responsiveness.

What kind of Reactor are you using, e.g., ACE_Select_Reactor,
ACE_TP_Reactor, ACE_WFMO_Reactor, etc?

There are examples of how to handle the reference counting necessary
to do this correctly in Chapter 6 of C++NPv2
<www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE/book2>.

Take care,

If you were on a linux machine I would have said that you were using the
-Bsymbolic option when linking (from the linux ld man page):

        `-Bsymbolic'
            When  creating  a  shared  library, bind references to global
            symbols to the definition within the shared library, if  any.
            Normally,  it  is  possible  for  a  program linked against a
            shared library to override the definition within  the  shared
            library.   This  option  is  only meaningful on ELF platforms
            which support shared libraries.


AIX seems to have an equivalent "symbolic" option (from the AIX ld man
page):

   symbolic Assigns the symbolic attribute to most symbols exported
without an
   explicit attribute. For more information, see "Attributes of Exported
Symbols" .
   The default is the nosymbolic- option. This option only applies to AIX
Version
   4.2 or later.

And then later:

   When you use run-time linking, a reference to a symbol in the same
module can
   only be rebound if the symbol is exported with the proper attribute.
References
   to symbols with the symbolic attribute cannot be rebound. References
to symbols
   with the nosymbolic attribute can be rebound. References to symbols
with the
   nosymbolic- attribute can be rebound if the symbols are variables. For
function

Russell.

Hi,

Maybe the linker has some options to resolve this, do you use the ACE
generated makefiles?

Hi,

The 5.4.4 version is to old to build with xlC. We made several changes in
the code and in the IDL compiler to get things compiling with 6.0.0.15.
These changes are available in the x.4.5 version of ACE/TAO. For AIX 64bit
we have had some problems with runtime crashes, these where fixed in x.4.6.
We also experienced some problems with using xlC as preprocesor, as work
around we used GCC as preprocessor for the IDL compiler but we wanted to
report the issue to IBM but didn't have a support contract to report it.

Some pointless trivia for all of you:

I recently changed jobs and the decision came down to
two companies - one used ACE, one didn't.

Can you guess which way I went?

Why would I want to learn an internal socket/OS
abstraction library?  What good does that do me in the
long run?

And so far in the 6 weeks I've been here I think I've
pretty much sold them on TAO as well for a new server
project.

Keep up the good work everyone!

You may wish to use an old approach of using config.h
and platform_macros.GNU for building ACE.
-------------------------------------------------------
#here overrride setting for CC, CXX, AR, LD, e.g.
CXX=armeb-unknown-linux-unknown-g++
include platform-linux.GNU
-------------------------------------------------------

Settings for librt library, depending on the version of ACE you are using,
may require corrections to take the library not from the standard paths, but
from your cross.
You might wish to add COFLAGS to match your sub-architechture optimization,
etc.

What is your sub-arch/board?

Sincerely,
