Purpose:
Small bug fixing
Description:
Replaced NULL by 0 for initializing or passing null "string".
The problem showed up on platinum.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
IA-32 Linux Cluster (platinum)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Add the overloaded member function Attribute::getName to return
the attribute name's length as in C API. This functionality was
missing. Note that the current getName that returns "string"
is not removed, for different way of using getName.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Windows 98
Code cleanup
Description:
Changed prototype for the buffer in Attribute::write from "void *"
to "const void *"
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
Purpose: Usability enhancement
Description:
- Added more information about the failure to all the throw's,
i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where
appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions,
such as p_close to provide more specific details.
- Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
function where failure occurs.
- Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some
situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice
in a couple of places :)
