<P>

<LI>
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.<BR>

A new compiler option <CODE>c_report</CODE> has been introduced
for C back-ends (client and server). If that option is
set, encoding/decoding errors will be reported to
<CODE>stderr</CODE>.<BR>

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.<BR>

<H4>1.7.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
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).<BR>
Accordingly a new compiler option <CODE>{c_timeout,
{SendTimeout, RecvTimeout}}</CODE> has been added. Timeouts
are specified in milliseconds.<BR>
A user that want to implement its own protocols with
function timeouts has to implement the following functions.<BR>
For C clients the functions <CODE>int
PFX_send_notification(CORBA_Environment *env, unsigned
int send_ms)</CODE>, and <CODE>int
PFX_send_request_and_receive_reply(CORBA_Environment
*env, unsigned int send_ms, unsigned int recv_ms)</CODE>
have to be additionally implemented, where PFX is the
user defined prefix.<BR>
For C servers no additional functions have to be
implemented, but a clone of the <CODE>int
oe_server_receive_tmo(CORBA_Environment *env, oe_map_t
*map, unsigned int send_ms, unsigned int recv_ms)</CODE>
might be handy.<BR>

<H4>1.8.1 Improvements and new features</H4>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
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. <BR>
For C clients it means to replace the library functions
<CODE>int oe_prepare_notification_encoding(CORBA_Environment
*env)</CODE>, <CODE>int oe_send_notification(CORBA_Environment
*env)</CODE>, <CODE>int
oe_prepare_request_encoding(CORBA_Environment *env)</CODE>,
<CODE>int oe_send_request_and_receive_reply(CORBA_Environment
*env)</CODE>, and <CODE>int
oe_prepare_reply_decoding(CORBA_Environment *env)</CODE>,
with functions of the same signature, but with the prefix
"oe" replaced by a user defined prefix.
For C servers the functions <CODE>int
oe_prepare_request_decoding(CORBA_Environment *env)</CODE>,
and <CODE>int oe_prepare_reply_encoding(CORBA_Environment
*env)</CODE>, are similarly replaced.<BR>
The new compiler option <CODE>{user_protocol, Prefix}</CODE> has
been added.

In generated code for the C server back-end, the naming scope

inheriting base interfaces.<BR>

IDL long long and unsigned long long could not

<H4>1.12.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
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.
