Description fp 2004-09-29 12:23:05 CDT

According to the latest C++ mapping, reference counting is mandatory; the
RefCountServantBase class is now a legacy artifact.

PortableServer::ServantBase, by way of TAO_Abstract_ServantBase, currently
implements the _add_ref and _remove_ref operations as no-ops.

        According to the latest C++ mapping, reference counting is mandatory;
        the RefCountServantBase class is now a legacy artifact. Thanks to
        Frank Pilhofer <fpilhofe at mc dot com> for reporting this.
        This fixes bugzilla [1952].

        * tao/Abstract_Servant_Base.{h,cpp}:
          Made the add_ref/remove_ref methods pure virtual and added
          _refcount_value

        * tao/PortableServer/Servant_Base.{h,cpp}:
          Added reference counting to TAO_ServantBase and removed
          TAO_RefCountServantBase

        * tao/PortableServer/PS_ForwardC.h:
          Make RefCountServantBase a noop struct

        * tao/PortableServer/diffs/PS_Forward.diff:
          Updated
