Patch for Ice for C++, release 3.0.1

[benoit]

Hi,

NOTE: this patch was originally posted here for Ice 3.0.0 but wasn't included in Ice 3.0.1 since it's not binary compatible. Here's a new version for Ice 3.0.1.

This patch patch fixes a problem with the class garbage collector in Ice for C++ that can result in double-deletion of class instances when the communicator is shutdown or when the garbage collector thread runs.

This patch is not binary compatible and will be included in the 3.1 release.



Cheers,
Benoit.

Hi,

Can you please explain what you mean by "binary compatible" in this case?

Thanks,

Binary compatible means that you can drop in a new copy of the Ice library without rebuilding your application. In this case you must rebuild not only the Ice library, but also the application.
