Source File Distribution

The C++ class library is distributed in binary and source code format. The binaries are compiled with a native compiler from the vendor of a particular platform. (For instance, a Sun SPARCompiler was used to compile binaries for Solaris.) Because C++ compilers may not necessarily generate binaries that are compatible with other C++ compilers, the C++ sources are also distributed so that you can compile the class library with a C++ compiler compatible with your environment. The source files are located in this directory:

$RTHOME/source/cxxipc  

RTHOME:[SOURCE.CXXIPC]  

%RTHOME%\source\cxxipc 

A sample makefile is included with the source files to build the C++ library. The library name produced and the name of the directory are:

$RTHOME/lib/$RTARCH/libcxxipc.a 

RTHOME:[LIB.’RTARCH]cxxipc.olb 

%RTHOME%\lib\%RTARCH%\ipcx.lib 

On UNIX, the sample makefile builds the library with the GNU C++ compiler g++.

This makefile does not overwrite this TIBCO-supplied library from the product distribution:

libcxxipc.a 

rtcxxipc.olb 

tipcx.lib 

Each source file (.cxx) in the source code has a corresponding header file (.hxx) that contains the declaration of a SmartSockets class, in this directory:

$RTHOME/include/$RTARCH 

RTHOME:[INCLUDE.RTWORKS]  

%RTHOME%\include\rtworks  

The source file organization is:

Using Threads

The SmartSockets threads API is not wrapped, because it is part of the utilities library (Tut*). This includes the function TipcInitThreads that must be called if your application uses threads. See the TIBCO SmartSockets Utilities for more details on the threads API.
