Header and library files from ic and erl_interface are now installed into usr/{include,lib}. Note that these directories are unversioned, so the latest installed version will be the one in the directory.

Fixed some compilation warnings on miscellaneous platforms. Thanks to Anthony Ramine.

Revert the structs erlang_pid, erlang_port and erlang_ref as they were before R16A (without node_org_enc) in order to be backward compatible with user code that accesses the fields of these structs.

Misc build updates

Own Id: OTP-10784

Adapt ic for changes in erl_interface and jinterface due to utf8 atom support. This change makes ic dependent on erl_interface-3.7.10 (R16) or later in order to build.

Own Id: OTP-10785

Fix bug where the ic pre-processor would ignore whitespace quoting.

Own Id: OTP-10109

A bug regarding spaces in C function prototypes has been fixed. (Thanks to Richard O'Keefe.)

Own Id: OTP-10138

Add generation of Erlang callback functions to generated Erlang source code to avoid compiler warnings.

Own Id: OTP-9998

Erlang/OTP can now be built using parallel make if you limit the number of jobs, for instance using 'make -j6' or 'make -j10'. 'make -j' does not work at the moment because of some missing dependencies.

Own Id: OTP-9451

Incorrect use of ets:match changed to ets:match_object.

Own Id: OTP-9630

Reduced compile overhead (Thanks to Haitao Li).

Own Id: OTP-9460

Partial support for recursive structs and unions. Only available for the erl_corba backend and requires that Light IFR is used. I.e. the IC option {light_ifr, true} and that Orber is configured in such a way that Light IFR is activated. Recursive TypeCode is currently not supported.

The documentation can now be built and installed without Java.

Removed superfluous VT in the documentation.

The documentation EIX file was not generated.

Own id: OTP-8355 Aux Id:

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

Own Id: OTP-8201 Aux Id:

The 64-bit version of libic was not compiled with the -fPIC flag.

Own id: OTP-8088

The function print_erlang_binary (oe_ei_code_erlang_binary.c) updated to avoid compiler warning.

Own id: OTP-7982

Updated file headers.

Insufficient buffer allocated when passing wide strings using the C backend on a 64-bit architecture.

Updated file headers.

Own id: OTP-7011

IC no longer use the obsolete function file:rawopen/2.

Added links to classes inherited from Jinterface in the User's Guide.

Own Id: OTP-6965 Aux Id:

If an inherited function name begun with a capital letter the generated stub/skeleton oe_tc/1 function was incorrect.

Own Id: OTP-6855 Aux Id:

The documentation source has been converted from SGML to XML.

Own Id: OTP-6754 Aux Id:

Minor Makefile changes.

Own Id: OTP-6701 Aux Id:

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.

Changed code generation to avoid warnings such as unused variables.

The FD_SETSIZE limit has been increased to 2048 for VxWorks/PPC603.

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

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

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

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

The compile option multiple_be is no longer supported.

Own Id: OTP-5049

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

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.

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

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

A scoping problem (IC could not find typedefs contained inherited interfaces) in the C-backend solved.

Own Id: OTP-4758

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.
