ACE Netcode 5.7.5 rev.88569

[NetSky]

does not build on mangos 9310 VC++2008 with SDK 6.0a win32 XP

first it is asking for config.h, when renamed config_win32.h to config.h asked for another header files.

let me guess you deleted config.h because you tried to compile @ nix first and then took same sources for win compile? you need the original config.h containing " #include "ace/config-win32.h" "

but i got needed config.h included.... try with that again and do not delete if you compile at windows.

anyways i will take a look at it tonight because we realized there is some problem in creating ACE.pc with some dist. - sry for that should be soon fixed

[NetSky]

fixed possible crashes at unexpected connection drop/loss.

unix builds tested and working - you need to delete evil windows ACE_wrappers/ace/config.h before compile.

Win project files updated - build not tested and i am not willing to do because i think Windows is not worth it to be called OS and i will never use it - but i expect there must be changes done in main initialization - as i remember this is done in /share/ServiceWin32.* .

Since now by reports send to me there should be a significant performance improvement - what about stability? anyone here who can test it at a live server with a huge load of connections? - Thx for any debug/report

[Thyros]

the config.h is missing.

[NetSky]

i forgot to mention use #define USE_STANDARD_MALLOC in MemoryManagement.cpp to disable TBB Alloc because this outdated version shipped with mangos will definitively cause problems/conflicts.

anyways i would appreciate it a lot if this could be tested with each combination : current tbb mangos version / up-to-date tbb (look at intels' hp) or without tbb using system mem alloc.

Thyros : simply create a file config.h

then add following : #include "config-win32.h" - done. if you plan to use additional features you got to declare there - but this is not needed.

None of these patches work on Windows.

I've tried both NetSky's 5.7.6 patch and ApoC's 5.7.5 patch for FreeBSD on OpenBSD 4.7-beta and neither compiled. I didn't have the time to dig into it very far, but I do know that with NetSky's patch I was having similar issues to the ones reported by ApoC (missing .inl files).

i will take a look if i got time left

it's easy for windows users.... I just managed to compile fine with ACE5.7.6. Just did

1.) download the zip file from http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/previous_versions/ACE-5.7.6.zip

2.) unzip the ace_wrappers into the %DRIVE%%MANGOS FOLDER%/dep folder overwritting the one that is there

3.) make a file called config.h with just #include "config-win32.h" in /ace_wrappers/ace

4.) compile

Except then you end up with over 100MB of stuff in your source code that you don't need.

[caeruleaus]

i know, just commit the stuff that was modified and then reset your branch to delete all the stuff that doesn't need to be there.

[Thyros]

i test now the windows build
