parameter sources are registered earlier so that they override static sources. (System.Parameters.Static, System.Partition_Interface.The_DSA_Source): Register these parameter sources later than the above ones to ensure that the latter override the former. (System.Partition_Interface.Initialize_Parameters): Set local access point information according to self_location and, in the case of an embedded name server, of boot_location; set name server location from boot_location. (XE_Back.PolyORB.Initilalize_Parameters): Add parameters identifying the main partition and the nameserver kind. KA26-015 Subversion-branch: /trunk/polyorb Subversion-revision: 180641

PolyORB 2.8 NEW FEATURES LIST
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 2009-2011, AdaCore
|
|
|
|
This file contains a complete list of new features in version 2.8 of PolyORB.
|
|
See also file NEWS for various information about this release.
|
|
|
|
An ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) appears in parentheses after the description line.
|
|
This date shows the implementation date of the feature. Any 2.8 wavefront
|
|
subsequent to this date will contain the indicated feature, as will any
|
|
subsequent releases.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-KA26-015 Support for Self_Location / Boot_Location (2011-10-26)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
NF-28-KA12-017 Removed dependency of "install" on "all" (2011-10-12)
|
|
|
|
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".)
|
|
|
|
NF-28-K922-016 Well known oid for embedded nameserver (2011-09-22)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-K919-038 Improved installation script (2011-09-19)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-K909-043 Exceptions tracing (2011-09-09)
|
|
|
|
A new debugging trace is now available that logs a message for every
|
|
exception raised in a partition (using GNAT.Exception_Actions).
|
|
|
|
NF-28-K906-034 Support for new IDL pragmas (2011-09-06)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-K806-001 Improve behaviour in tasking intensive context (2011-08-29)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-JC17-036 Support for partition-wide RPC timeout setting (2010-12-23)
|
|
|
|
A new runtime parameter rpc_timeout in section [dsa] specifies a global
|
|
timeout (in milliseconds) to be applied to all remote subprogram calls.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-JA25-023 Support for additional configuration pragmas (2010-10-26)
|
|
|
|
A new configure command line switch --enable-conf-pragmas is provided, which
|
|
allows the user to specify then name of an additional configuration pragmas
|
|
file to be used when compiling the PolyORB runtime library, for example
|
|
containing some application-mandated Restrictions pragmas.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-J121-026 IDLAC is obsoleted (2011-03-28)
|
|
|
|
The legacy IDL to Ada compiler, idlac, is obsoleted. Users should switch
|
|
to iac, which has been the default since 2008.
|
|
|
|
NF-28-IA01-037 Source included in iac output (2011-09-24)
|
|
|
|
The IAC compiler now includes the IDL source code (commented out) in the Ada
|
|
stubs package spec, for convenient reference.
