[Quickfix-developers] FileLog.cpp question (sorta)

[Bud G. <bud...@ya...>]

Hi Oren and All,
 
I was looking through FileStore.cpp and it seems that there's a problem
where the constructor is checking to see if the outgoing and event
streams have been successfully opened.  The code actually checks to see
if the m_incoming stream was successfully opened instead of the outgoing
or event log streams.  A very minor issue, but the reason I was looking
at the code was because I use tail with the -f option on Solaris to see
what's going on while debugging or for certification with other parties
and the output seems to be delayed longer than the 10 seconds or so I
think tail pauses between read attempts.  Maybe I'm confused, but I
thought std::endl was supposed to flush output in addition to adding end
of line char(s) to the output.  Is that only on tty output maybe?
 
I use G++ 3.2.2 iostreams right now, does anyone know if stlport
iostreams will fix the problem or has used the stlport version of the
iostreams library with quickfix?  It doesn't look like specifying
-with-stlport in ./configure causes the stlport iostreams library to be
linked against any of  the test or example apps, so I was wondering if
there might be problems with using the stlport version in quickfix or in
general?

QuickFix is a great API and has saved me a lot of time and effort when
writing apps that require FIX protocol in both Unix and Windows
environments. The Text tag strings on Reject messages make it a breeze
to figure out what's going on when having to diagnose problems with
other vendors that don't always comply with the FIX spec for whatever
reason.  I recommend the API every chance I get.

Much thanks to Oren and everyone that's contributed to the project.
