[Quickfix-developers] QuickFix 64 bit port

[ciju j. <jo...@oc...>]

Hi all,

This is Ciju John from Object Computing Inc. I am working on an AMD 64
bit build of QuickFix on Visual Studio 8. I didn't find a x64
configuration in the project files. Reading the mailing list archive
it seems other people have been successfully building/using 64 bit
builds with VC8.

Were any x64 port changes contributed back to the repo?
Is there currently a branch for this work? If so I would like to
evaluate the current state and possibly extend it.

thanks,
Ciju

Hi all.

I have been working on a x64 port of QuickFix. The route we took was
to add new debug/release build configurations to the VC++ 8 project.
We have had to recreate a missing file

src/.NET/FieldMap.cpp

to get everything built. Attached is a diff of my changes. I would be
very thankful for a review of the changes and would like to push this
into the repo.

thanks,
Ciju

Hi Ciju

Thanks - Sorry for the delay, I was off for few days.
I just try your code and it works well. This is great.

1) I'm using c#. The only issue I can see but this is not from your code 
(this issue was there before) is a deadlock, it occurs if there is a 
connection delay or drop out. An easy way to simulate a connection drop 
is to unplug the network and plug it again or disable the "network 
connection" and enable it again, then QuickFix will hang in the c ++ 
code. After this I can not reconnect the initiator 
(ThreadedSocketInitiator) and I need to crash the c# application and 
start again, are you experiencing the same thing?

2) also when I run some c# application in debug mode, sometime I see this


Any idea what is it and how to fix this?

3) When will you push your modifications in svn?

I'll run more tests for the c# version

Thanks again

Wilhelm

Are you using a 64 bit QF build?

We are seeing good performance on our end as well. Thanks for
validating the changes.

No, I haven't run into this. I expect someone else may have seen this
as this looks like an often encountered scenario.

No ideas there.

I haven't heard back from the QF administrators on this issue. What I
published are my final changes, so I will be happy if someone with
commit access pushes this into the repo.

thanks. Keep me posted.
