[Please use the form below to submit bug reports, problem reports, etc., to the ACE developers and interested users. Send to ace-bugs@cs.wustl.edu. Please send it as plain ASCII text, _not_ uuencoded or as an attachment. We prefer that all bug reports be submitted through our bug tracking system. See $ACE_ROOT/docs/usage-bugzilla.html for more information about how to do this. If you are unsure as to whether your problem is a real bug or not then please submit your question to the mailing list using the following form. Not using the problem report form will make it harder or impossible to identify the problem, and in many cases we will be unable to help at all. Also please try to browse bugzilla and the ChangeLog files to find out if your problem has been solved in a more recent version of ACE. To ensure that you see responses, please do one of the following: 1) Subscribe to the ace-bugs mail list, by sending email with contents "subscribe ace-bugs" to majordomo@cs.wustl.edu. 2) Or, monitor the comp.soft-sys.ace newsgroup for responses. Replace/remove all the explanatory text in brackets before mailing. Please send this form as ASCII text only. Do _not_ send it as an attachment, or as tar'ed, compressed and/or uuencoded text. And limit line lengths to less than 80 characters. PLEASE make your Subject: line as descriptive as possible. Subjects like "ACE bug" or "bug report" are not helpful! Also, do _not_ include the word "help" in the Subject!] When including your config.h and platform_macros.GNU files as requested below, only include the contents if you use the recommended method of including the platform-specific file in your file. If you use a link to the platform-specific file, simply state which one - DO NOT include an entire platform-specific configuration file in the form. 8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<---- To: ace-bugs@cs.wustl.edu Subject: [area]: [synopsis] ACE VERSION: 5.4.4 HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM: If on Windows based OS's, which version of WINSOCK do you use?: TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST: COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL): CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h [if you use a link to a platform- specific file, simply state which one]: CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU (unless this isn't used in this case, e.g., with Microsoft Visual C++): AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: [What example failed?
