RE: [Quickfix-developers] RE: Intermittent disconnect problem

[Bishop, B. <Bar...@gs...>]

Hi Caleb,

Thanks again for your advice. I've been distracted by other issues, but
still managed to build quickfix 1.9.3 and 1.9.4 using the configure
generated makefiles and gcc version 3.2.2.

At the end of the day, I think it is safe to say that this does not work
with gcc 2.95.2. You get a warning when running configure, but the warning
doesn't do it justice! There are so many errors downstream that it might be
better not to even attempt to support gcc 2.95.x.

Oren,

The 1.9.4 build is looking good and we have tested this in our QA
environment. It reconnects very well (better than 1.4.0), but it will be
some days before we run with this in our production environment. It would be
nice if the strange disconnect problem goes away with this version, but it
would be equally nice to see the better logging for these kind of events and
learn something about what is happening.

Again I will report back next week. Thanks again for everyone's input and
thanks for a really good product. I know I've had problems building it, but
once passed that stage the software has performed very well indeed.

I would concur with one of your previous postings about the uptake of
quickfix within the finance sector. There are a lot of people using it,
which is most encouraging.

Regards,
barry

No, just a glutton for punishment :)

Seriously though, gcc 2.95 is just too old if you want to compile
standards-conforming C++ code.  You should try the latest 3.3 or 3.4 version
(we use 3.3.2 here with success on Linux and Solaris).  You can drop STLport
with these newer versions as well.  Your life becomes much simpler, at the
expense of needing to compile all your C++ code because name mangling
changed.
