[PolyORB] Process ids in traces

AdaCore — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Process IDs can now optionally be included in trace messages logged to standard error. This feature is enabled by setting "pid=true" in section [log] of the PolyORB configuration.

[PolyORB] Switch to GPL version 3

AdaCore — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:00:00 +0000

PolyORB is now licensed under the terms of the GPL version 3.

[PolyORB] Support for Self_Location / Boot_Location

AdaCore — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:00:00 +0000

Support for pragmas Boot_Location and Self_Location in the po_gnatdist configuration file, and for boot_location and self_location runtime parameters, has been implemented. These allow the specification of the host and port used by a partition (self_location) and by the main partition (boot_location). Gnatdist configuration example:

  pragma Boot_Location ("tcp", "myhost:1234");

Equivalent polyorb.conf setting:

  [dsa]
  boot_location=tcp://myhost:1234

[PolyORB] Removed dependency of "install" on "all"

AdaCore — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:00:00 +0000

The "install" target in the main PolyORB Makefile has no dependency on "all" anymore, which avoids a costly recheck of dependencies. (As a result, the "all" target must now be built explicitly prior to "make install".)

[PolyORB] Well known oid for embedded nameserver

AdaCore — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +0000

When building a DSA application with embedded name server, the name server is now registered on its partition with a fixed, well-known object identifier ("_NameService") so that an object reference that designates it can be constructed knowing just the host name and port number of the main partition.

[PolyORB] Source included in iac output

AdaCore — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +0000

The IAC compiler now includes the IDL source code (commented out) in the Ada stubs package spec, for convenient reference.

[PolyORB] Improved installation script

AdaCore — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +0000

The PolyORB Makefiles do not rely on xargs(1) and install(1). Instead, installation is performed by an equivalent Python script, which avoids spawning a lot of processes.

[PolyORB] Exceptions tracing

AdaCore — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +0000

A new debugging trace is now available that logs a message for every exception raised in a partition (using GNAT.Exception_Actions).

[PolyORB] Support for new IDL pragmas

AdaCore — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +0000

IAC implements support for new IDL pragmas defined in version 1.3 of the CORBA/Ada mapping: subtype, derived, and range. It also includes support for implementation defined pragma switchname, compatible with the GNACK IDL compiler, to help in transitioning legacy Ada code to CORBA.

[PolyORB] Improve behaviour in tasking intensive context

AdaCore — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:00:00 +0000

Taking advantage of a new feature in the GNAT runtime library, a performance bottleneck has been removed in the PolyORB full tasking profile. This significantly improves performance in situations where a large number of tasks need to be created and destroyed.
