[omniORB] IBM VisualAge 5.0

[mdonahue@McLeodUSA.com]

Renzo -

Attached is the TARBALL I mentioned.  If you have any problems extracting it let
me know.  You will need to set your platform version in the config.mk file if
you are using AIX 4.3, I'm currently using AIX 4.2, but I have tested the
updates on both AIX 4.2 and 4.3.  I have included platform build files for both
AIX 4.2 and AIX 4.3.

If you need the omniEvents updates too, let me know, and I'll TAR them up and
send them to you also.

Enjoy,

Mike,
        I will appreciate to get your modifications for building OmniORB 2.8
on VACPP 5.0, this will save us some time and frustrations, beside not being
able to understand why IBM releases two compilers at the same time. As
everybody, I hope that OmniORB people will include such modifications into
official releases soon or later.
Btw, I'm curious to know about any applied workaround related to the friend
operator errors we found so far.
Thanks,
            Renzo Tomaselli

Renzo -

We have successfully built OmniORB 2.8 and omniEvents 2.0.1 with the new xlC_r
component
of Visual Age 5.0 C++.  We had to patch a couple of the .mk and source/header
files to get it to
build properly.  If you want, I can make a tarball of the files I updated and
send it to anyone interested.

We have been testing with our ORB changes since April 17, and everything has
been very stable so
far.  The unfortunate thing with VAC 5.0 is, that we have been encountering some
 hideous issues with
duplicate symbols in IBM's implementation of STL.

Hi all,
    we tried to rebuild OmniORB 2.8 on AIX through the Xlc compiler
(called
batch compiler) embedded into the new VisualAge 4.0.
No success, it complains on all >>= operators in .hh files which involve
NetBufferedStream (e.i. see the very beginning of ir_operators.hh). It
seems
not able to find the related operator in NetBufferedStream (which is
actually a friend function), saying it's out of current search scope.
While waiting to test the same with VisualAge own compiler, any help
would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
                                             Renzo Tomaselli
