[omniORB] omniORB 3.0.x on OpenVMS Alpha, Compaq C++ 6.2

[Bruce Visscher]

I just received an e-mail about this, so I thought I would report here
what I know at this point.

Apparently, there is a bug that shows up when you compile omniORB 3.0.x
on OpenVMS Alpha, using Compaq C++ 6.2.  The 6.3 compiler (in Beta)
seems to address the problem.

Specifically, the problem shows up in the eg3 example.  If you start the
eg3 server, shut it back down, then attempt to contact it from the eg3
client, then the client will hibernate indefinitely.  I have verified
that the problem is in the compiler's optimizer.

If anyone really needs to use omniORB 3 on that platform, I would
strongly advise disabling optimization, or else wait for the release of
Compaq C++ 6.3.  I'm guessing Compaq C++ 6.2 would have the same problem
on tru64 Unix.

HTH,

Bruce
