Once again, thanks to the efforts of many developers, testers, and users, we are pleased to announce the minor release of ACE 6.4.4 and TAO 2.4.4 which is available from the usual download location under the heading "Latest Micro Release".
The Source Code zip/tar.gz provided by github do not contain the necessary MPC package, please do not download these!
Changes to ACE
- Enhanced support for Embarcadero C++ Builder 10.2.1 (Tokyo). Support for bcc32/bcc64/bcc32c has been enhanced and by default the clang based versions are used. When the old bcc32 has to be used set the
CLASSICenvironment variable to 1. At this moment runtime test results for bcc64/bcc32c show some structural problems - Add support for Oracle Studio 12.5
- Removed usage of
ACE_REGISTERandregisterkeyword because they trigger deprecated warnings with newer gcc and clang versions - Add support for gcc 7
- Enhanced Android support
- Fix
ACE_INET_Addr::set(domain_name, AF_UNSPEC)to be set to IPv4 address when IPv6 is enabled and the domain_name could be resolved to IPv4 address.
Changes to TAO
- Minor cleanup and fixes to the code generated by TAO_IDL
