Dead code was deleted from the following modules:
ic_cclient, ic_code, ic_cserver, ic_erlbe, ic_java_type,
ic_noc, ic_plainbe, ic_pp, ic_pragma, icscan, icstruct,
ictype, icunion.
1.10 IC 4.2.11
1.10.1 Improvements and New Features

variables.

1.11 IC 4.2.10
1.11.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
The FD_SETSIZE limit has been increased to 2048 for
VxWorks/PPC603.
Own Id: OTP-5395 Aux Id: seq9751
1.12 IC 4.2.9
1.12.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
In C back-ends, the compiler crashed when generating C code
for error reports when a scoped name was used as a type
in a union.
Own Id: OTP-5375 Aux Id: seq9740
1.13 IC 4.2.8
1.13.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
In C back-ends, when decoding a sequence of "small"
integers, which from Erlang is sent as a string (i.e.
each element between 0 and 255), each string element was
considered to be of signed character type. Each such
element is now correctly treated as an unsigned character
type.
Own Id: OTP-5205 Aux Id: seq9241
1.14 IC 4.2.7
1.14.1 Improvements and New Features
-
A new compiler option c_report has been introduced
for C back-ends (client and server). If that option is
set, encoding/decoding errors will be reported to
stderr.
Own Id: OTP-4977
1.15 IC 4.2.6
1.15.1 Improvements and New Features
-
The size of modules, used then registering data in the
IFR DB (e.g., oe_MyModule:oe_register()), can be minimized
if the compile option light_ifr is used and Orber is
configured to use Light IFR. Requires that orber-3.5.1, or
later, is used.
Own Id: OTP-5036
1.15.2 Incompatibilities
-
The compile option multiple_be is no longer supported.
Own Id: OTP-5049
1.16 IC 4.2.5
1.16.1 Improvements and New Features
-
Send and receive functions with timeouts have been added
to the C back-ends for the standard protocol (i.e. Erlang
distribution + gen_server protocol).
Accordingly a new compiler option {c_timeout, {SendTimeout, RecvTimeout}} has been added. Timeouts
are specified in milliseconds.
A user that want to implement its own protocols with
function timeouts has to implement the following functions.
For C clients the functions int PFX_send_notification(CORBA_Environment *env, unsigned int send_ms), and int PFX_send_request_and_receive_reply(CORBA_Environment *env, unsigned int send_ms, unsigned int recv_ms)
have to be additionally implemented, where PFX is the
user defined prefix.
For C servers no additional functions have to be
implemented, but a clone of the int oe_server_receive_tmo(CORBA_Environment *env, oe_map_t *map, unsigned int send_ms, unsigned int recv_ms)
might be handy.
Own Id: OTP-4972
1.17 IC 4.2.4
1.17.1 Improvements and new features
-
The C back-ends has been opened up, so that a user can
define his own protocol, differing from the Erlang
distribution + gen_server protocol.
For C clients it means to replace the library functions
int oe_prepare_notification_encoding(CORBA_Environment *env), int oe_send_notification(CORBA_Environment *env), int oe_prepare_request_encoding(CORBA_Environment *env),
int oe_send_request_and_receive_reply(CORBA_Environment *env), and int oe_prepare_reply_decoding(CORBA_Environment *env),
with functions of the same signature, but with the prefix
"oe" replaced by a user defined prefix.
For C servers the functions int oe_prepare_request_decoding(CORBA_Environment *env),
and int oe_prepare_reply_encoding(CORBA_Environment *env), are similarly replaced.
The new compiler option {user_protocol, Prefix} has
been added.

1.18 IC 4.2.3
1.18.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
In generated code for the C server back-end, the naming scope
was in error for prototypes in C header files for interfaces
inheriting base interfaces.
Own Id: OTP-4881
1.19 IC 4.2.2
1.19.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
IDL long long and unsigned long long could not
be used in a struct for the Java backend.
All unsigned integer types for the Java backend
had broken marshalling for large values.
Own Id: OTP-4763
1.20 IC 4.2.1
1.20.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
A scoping problem (IC could not find typedefs contained
inherited interfaces) in the C-backend solved.
Own Id: OTP-4758
1.21 IC 4.2
1.21.1 Improvements and New Features
-
The CORBA stub/skeleton-files generated by IC have been improved,
i.e., depending on the IDL-files, reduced the size of the
erl- and beam-files and decreased dependencies off Orber's
Interface Repository. It is necessary to re-compile all IDL-files
and use COS-applications, including Orber, compiled with
IC-4.2.
