Re: ORBit 0.5.17 CORBA_ORB_perform_work implementation

It may be a synonym...   But books on CORBA show the "perform_work" as an
exposed to the user function to use.

 e.g. from "Pure CORBA" By Fintan Bolton...

 For as Single-Threaded client he say s us the CORBA::ORB::perform_work()
operation instead of the CORBA::ORB::run().   The perform_work() operation
does not block indefinitely and returns after a certain number of
invocations have bee processed.  The exact behavior of the perform_work()
function is implementation dependent.  This allows you to write an event
loop to integrate with the other activities of the client application.

 // C++ style example...

    keep_running = TRUE;
    while( keep_running) {

            if (orb->work_pending() ) { orb->perform_work() ; }
            process_user_gui_input();
 }

 Surely the 'custom_run_setup' is done by the CORBA_ORB_init;

 Apart from that it looks fine ;-) As you can see - perhaps there is a
reason why this method hasn't been implemented - it's a synonym for
giop_main_iterate (FALSE);

 Incidentally though - you should be using ORBit2 - then we can fold
fixes back in ( and it's much cleaner / stabler / maintained ).

 Also - it's really inefficient to do mainloop graunching like that; You
probably want to do something with polling I would have thought.

 Regards,

  Michael.
