Purpose: Usability enhancement
Description:
- Added more information about the failure to all the throw's,
i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where
appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions,
such as p_close to provide more specific details.
- Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
function where failure occurs.
- Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some
situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice
in a couple of places :)
Platforms:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Description:
Dec CC compiler doesn't support some new c++ features.
Some typos caused compilation erros on Dec Alpha.
Solution:
- Added macro BOOL_NOTDEFINED to define bool type on Dec
Alpha (gondolin) since its compiler doesn't support bool.
- Added macro NO_STATIC_CAST to prevent the use of the new
c++ feature static_cast since Dec CC compiler doesn't support.
- Added const to parameters of some functions to match the
functions' declaration and definition. Typos errors and
Dec CC complained.
Platform:
Solaris (arabica). Also tried to build on Dec Alpha but still
not linked due to some missing compiler flags; its compilation
went fine though.
Purpose:
Support portability
Description:
I forgot that source file extension .C will not work on Windows.
Solution:
Changed all source file from *.C to *.cpp for portability.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
