Re: [Quickfix-developers] Missing declarations in QF 1.6.0 after upgrading from 1.5.0

[Miller, O. <OM...@ri...>]

I agree that convenience includes would be useful.  BTW increasing the =
heap size stopped working wheb 4.4 was introduced.  The file produced =
was so large that the compiler couldn't handle it regardless.  This why =
the split became a neccesity this release.

There are a few reasons why some data is lost.  There are really 3 =
points of failure.  First, there is a new release of the spec word =
document, which may have dropped some data.  Second, the new spec needed =
to be converted with a new parser, which may have dropped some data.  =
Third, in order to facilitate the split, a new code generator was =
written.

It would be helpful to find out at which point of failure, the data =
disapears.

Also check to be sure that data that appears to be missing wasn't just =
moved into one of the deprecated areas.

Subject: [Quickfix-developers] Missing declarations in QF 1.6.0 after =
upgrading from 1.5.0

Hi,

I have been developing code using QuickFIX 1.5.0 in Visual C++ 6 for =
some time and I'm trying to upgrade to QuickFIX 1.6.0 now. The huge =
FIX4*_Messages.h include files were split onto a bunch of smaller files, =
which is a good thing. However, it wouldn't hurt to add a new include =
file fix4[0-4]/Messages.h, which would simply #include all the defined =
messages at once. For convenience, just like before. The VC++ heap =
overflow problem can be simply resolved by using compiler switch /Zm200 =
to double the default heap size limit.

I have noticed that two files in include\quickfix\fix42 are missing =
after a successful build: TestRequest.h and QuoteStatusRequest.h (third =
file QuoteStatusReport.h is missing in fix43 and fix44).
After checking the Makefiles and the VC++ Project file, I have found the =
problem: These files are omitted from copying because they match a =
string "test" in the EXCLUDE file:

	echo test > EXCLUDE
	echo stdafx.h >> EXCLUDE
	xcopy src\C++\*.h /S/Y /EXCLUDE:EXCLUDE include\quickfix
	del /F EXCLUDE

To fix the problem, simply modify the first command to this:
	echo test\ > EXCLUDE

The "test" subdirectory will not be copied (as expected), but the =
ordinary include files will.


Finally, I have noticed that many constants declared in Values.h were =
removed in QF 1.6.0. To name a few:

OrdType_MARKET_ON_CLOSE, OrdType_ON_CLOSE, OrdType_LIMIT_ON_CLOSE, =
OrdType_FOREX_*
PossDupFlag_*
ResetSeqNumFlag_*
MarketDepth_FULL_BOOK, MarketDepth_TOP_OF_BOOK
SecurityTradingStatus_* (>=3D10)
PartyRole_* (>=3D10)
OwnerType_* (>=3D10)
...and many, many others.

I'm personally missing only constants MarketDepth_FULL_BOOK, =
MarketDepth_TOP_OF_BOOK now, but the number of name changes and =
deletions in this file is simply overwhelming. It looks like I will have =
revert back to character literals instead of these nice named constants =
to avoid such problems in the future.

I think that there could be a problem with the FIX specs conversion =
scripts, since many constants with values >=3D 10 were lost, but values =
below were 10 retained.

Cheers,
  Vlad
