Changes and additions in the REALbasic package designated as 1.26p-2001.01.24:

New Items

TCPSocketServerList - link list class used by the TCPSocketServer class and managed by the ipcSrv code module
writeTimer - timer class used to sent a reply back to the client application used by the TCPSocketServer class
sysLog - code module which is the system logger API
sysLogConstants - code module containing system logger constants
slogcode - code module with methods to translate a system logger reply code to an English explanation
sys_log Server Project - the complete system log server

Modified Items

TCPSocketServer - during stress testing of the system log server, I realized that the server would not respond when a connection was active and another connection was attempted. Unlike the BSD or WinSock socket API, the REALbasic socket class has no ability to queue requests when a connection is already active. This class has been modified to spawn a new listener when a connection takes place. The new TCPSocketServerList class stores all current listeners. This class also has been changed to use the new writeTimer class to transmit/send data back to the client application.
ipcSrv - this socket server API has been modified to manage the TCPSocketServerList link list.
Socloc Server Project - the socloc server has been modified to use the new socket server API including the ipcSrv code module, the TCPSocketServer class, the new TCPSocketServerList class and the new writeTimer class.

November 10, 2000

A new C++ class has been added starting in package version 1.26-2000.11.10. This new class called word string encapsulates most of the functionality of the parse C module.

September 23, 2000

New C++ code has been added to the GPL package starting in package version 1.25-2000.09.23. Two classes have been created. Both are TCP/IP socket related. One which implements a socket client and the other which creates a socket server. These new classes are contained within the clib GPL package directory.

Two test example applications have also been created to that use the new C++ classes. One application is a socket client and the other is a socket server. Both of these applications are located in the apps GPL package directory.

Many new Unix shell scripts have been added. These scripts are used to compile/build C++ code. In addition, the existing shell scripts include.linux and mkall have been modified to accommodate C++ code.

September 10, 2000

The changes in the new REALbasic code starting in GPL package 1.24p-2000.07.05 will be reflected in this log.

July 5, 2000

The following modules have changed as a result of the implementation of the new library module ip.c. These changes are reflected in the GPL package 1.24-2000.07.05. Here is a list of the changes:

Header Files

There is a new library header file called ip.h. This header is not automatically included.

Library Modules

A new library module called ip.c has been created to handle all functions related to IP addressing and resolution. There are currently three functions in this module: ip_host2ip will resolve a host name to an IP address, ip_ip2host will resolve an IP address to a host name and the function isip, which used to be located in the library module parse.c has been moved to this new library module.

Application Modules

The following application server modules have changed:

dbsrv.c - Bbuuzzb database server
dumsocks.c - dumsocks server
socloc.c - socloc server
sys_log.c - system log server

The above servers have had their main initialization function changed to obtain the IP address of the current machine and passing this IP address to socloc.

The following application client modules have changed:

db.c - Bbuuzzb database client
dbstress.c - Bbuuzzb database stress
dumsockc.c - dumsocks client
iresolve.c - IP resolve
sockc.c - universal socket client

Each of the above applications has had the new library module ip.c added to its link sequence and also included the header file ip.h.

API Modules

The two socloc API modules sloc.c and slconfig.c have had the header file ip.h included.

Unix Shell Scripts

The following Unix shell scripts have been changed to add the new library module ip.c:

cclib
mkdbsrv
mkdumsocks
mksocloc
mksys_log
mkdb
mkdbm
mkdbstress
mkdbstresm
mkdumsockc
mkiresolve
mksockc

July 1, 2000

While porting the socloc API code to REALbasic, I discovered that the automatic failover built into the API was not functioning as designed. Only the first dead socloc server was being recorded. Changed the function sloc_client_connect to call the function sl_config_get_first. Also changed the function sloc_failover to record the value of the dead port index (spos) before entering the sloc_config_delete loop.

This change is reflected in the GPL package version 1.23-2000.07.01.

May 31, 2000

I found a major structural problem with the client socket high level API module. The function ipc_init was calling the socket function connect. This means that the only way to connect to a socket server would be to call this function. This is not the intention of the design. I re-structured the ipclient.c module by removing the ipc_init function as there is no specific initialization required other than to load the host name and port number of the socket server. I also added the functions ipc_set_active to set/load the host name and port number of the server, ipc_get_active to obtain the current host name and port number and also added the function ipc_send_receive which will connect to the server, send the command request and wait for a reply. The connection to the server is now performed in the new function ipclient_connect. The functions ip_send_data and ipc_recv_data no longer have any purpose and have been removed.

The client socket high level API header has also been changed so that the function prototypes match the client socket high level API module.

The sockc application also has been changed by adding two command line switches. The -s switch will disable the socloc interface when the program is executed. The -l (el) command line switch specifies a client log file to use once logging is enabled. The application now uses the client socket high level API module to communicate to the currently connected socket server. The client socket global data that also was part of this application has now been removed as well as the d_client_connect function. Two new commands have been added to the application, they are: socloc.on and socloc.off which allow the socloc interface to be turned on or off while the application is running.

The above changes are reflected in the GPL package version 1.22-2000.06.01.

May 25, 2000

I discovered a bug in the sockc application. The commands socloc.list and socloc.config.list sometimes caused the program to blow. Upon investigation, the program turned out to be dynamic memory allocation related. I was freeing a string and then later in the function, attempting to use that same string. This bug has been corrected in the new package 1.21-2000.05.25.

April 30, 2000

Completed coding of the new GPL software package designated as 1.2-2000.05.03. This version contains the completed integration of the socloc interface with all applications. The new GPL package has not been posted as yet. See the newsletter for more information. Here is a detailed list of all the code changes:

Header Files

comcode.h - This is a new header file which contains the common socket send and reply codes. This header is now included from other API header files. Normally, this file should not be included from your application.
dbcomm.h - A new command DBENG_VERSION has been added which represents the socket server version.
dbcs.h - Added the function prototypes db_version and db_get_active.
dbcscfg.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
dbengcfg.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
dbengver.h - Changed the value of DBENG_VERSION to .40.03-2000.04.28.
dbmess.h - Added the reply codes DBENG_SOCLOC_NO_INIT, DBENG_NO_SERVER and DBENG_FAILOVER. Added include of comcode.h.
flsocket.h - Moved the common socket send and reply codes to the include file comcode.h.
ipclient.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
ipcomm.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
ipconfig.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler. Note that this module is now obsolete but is not being removed as it might be of some use.
ipcsrv.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
logger.h - Added log_file_name, log_console and log_get_console prototypes.
parse.h - The prototypes for the functions stricmp and strnicmp will now only be included if the define HAS_STRICMP (from stdhead.h) is not defined. These function prototypes used to be controlled via the platform define OS_DOS.
sconnect.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler and added the include of the file comcode.h.
sliocode.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
slogcode.h - Added the extern "C" sections for a C++ compiler.
socloc.h - Added the include of the file comcode.h.
stdhead.h - Added the define HAS_STRICMP to control the definition and compilation of the functions stricmp and strnicmp. These are non-ANSI functions and some compilers include them.
sys_log.h - Added the include of the file comcode.h. Added the prototype of the new function sys_log_get_active.

Library Modules

ipconfig.c - This module is now obsolete since socloc is now used to obtain the host name and TCP/IP port number. This file will not be removed as it still may be of some use.
logger.c - This module has undergone a major change including:
- Added the global variable p_has_init to track whether the logger interface has been successfully initialized at least once.
- Added the global variable p_console_output to control message output to the console/display.
- Added the function log_file_name to obtain the name of the current log file.
- Modified the function log_start to allow a NULL string in place of the log file name if the logger interface has been successfully initialized at least once. A NULL or empty log file name indicates to start logging with the previously registered log file name.
- Added the function log_console to turn console/screen message output on or off.
- Added the function log_get_console to obtain the current value of the console/screen output flag p_console_output.
sys_log.c - Added the function sys_log_get_active to obtain the host name and TCP/IP port number of the currently connected sys_log server. Removed all personal logging calls from the sys_log and sys_log_header functions as these cause too many debugging messages.

Database API Modules

dbcs.c - This module has seen major changes with the integration of socloc. A Bbuuzzb server failover will be detected and another server will be selected (if one is running) but the database command will not be re-tried as the new Bbuuzzb server does not have the same tables open as the original server. Upon failover and a successful connection to another Bbuuzzb server, this API module will return DBENG_FAILOVER to the application. Changed items include:
- Removed all references to Winsock WSA functions and the WSAdata structure since it is now the responsibility of the application to use these.
- Renamed all socket variables by adding the prefix db_.
- Added function db_version to obtain the Bbuuzzb server version string.
- Modified to use the socloc interface.
- Implemented limited failover as above.
- Added function db_get_active to obtain the current Bbuuzzb server host name and TCP/IP port in use.
dbeng.c - Cleaned up some debug messages.
dbiocode.c - Added messages for reply codes DBENG_SOCLOC_NO_INIT, DBENG_NO_SERVER and DBENG_FAILOVER.
dblocal.c - Cleaned up some debug messages.
dblocfg.c - Implemented turning on or off of the system logger or personal logger (depending on the MULTIUSER define) from the function db_config_set_log_flag.

Unix Shell Scripts

All of the Unix shell scripts have had major changes including:

Compilation and linking is assisted using environment variables.
Two new shell scripts have been composed called include.generic and include.linux which load the environment variables. These two shell scripts are dot executed from the compile/link scripts.

Refer to the script documentation for a complete reference

Applications

datagen - Removed log statements and unnecessary printf statements.
db/dbm - Moved the include of the flsocket.h inside the multiuser defines. Modified to use socloc if in multiuser mode. Changed the keyword connecting character from the underscore (_) to the period (.). Added the command version. Added the display of the currently connected Bbuuzzb server host name and TCP/IP port number if in multiuser mode.
dbsrv - Modified to use the socloc interface. Added all common send and reply codes. Removed requirement in function process_request to have at least two command words received. Added a command line parameter consisting of the TCP/IP port number to service.
dbstress/dbstresm - Moved the include of the flsocket.h inside the multiuser defines. Modified to use socloc if in multiuser mode. Changed function c_config_set_log_flag to turn logging back on if it was turned off. Added command line parameters to specify the primary and alternate table names as well as the log file name.
dumsocks - Added command line option to suppress all console/screen output, running quiet.
socloc - Added command line options to run quiet and specify the output log file name.
sys_log - Added command line option to suppress all console/screen output, run quiet.

April 3, 2000

Generated a new version of the GPL software package designated as 1.11-2000.04.03. This version contains the inclusion of the socloc interface into the sys_log server and the Bbuuzzb database server. The database client applications that use the sys_log API have also been re-compiled to include the socloc API although these applications do not (as yet) directly call the socloc API.

While adapting the Bbuuzzb database server, I discovered a structural problem with the common socket codes. These codes are required for both single and multi user applications and by placing the codes in the header file flsocket.h, the single user applications will require the include of this header which is not appropriate. For now, I have included this header file as required. In the next version of the GPL software, I plan to separate these common socket codes into a separate header file.

The website documentation has not yet been updated with these changes. The documentation will be updated once the integration of socloc is complete.

March 9, 2000

Generated a new version of the GPL software package designated as 1.1-2000.03.09. This version contains the following new components:

dumsockc client application
dumsocks server application
socloc server application
socloc APIs
sockc client application

This GPL software package also contains the following changes:

The function log_start has been changed to return a integer flag representing success or failure.

The TCP IPC library modules ipclient.c and ipcsrv.c have been changed to remove the Windows specific WinSock functions WSAStartup and WSACleanup. These functions should now be called from the application module instead of the library module. The name of the socket structure was also changed in these two modules to prevent global naming conflicts that have been found to affect the CodeWarrior V4 Windows compiler.

A new function called isip has been added to the GPL parse library module. This function will check for a valid TCP/IP address.

September 12, 1999

While building a DOS version of the GPL software package, I encountered some bugs in the code that the other compilers did not catch. Generated a new package designated as 1.01-99.09.12 which contains the corrected code in the iresolve application.
