POCO C++ Libraries VxWorks Platform Notes
AAAIntroduction
!!!Introduction
Starting with release 1.4.1 the POCO C++ Libraries can be used on
VxWorks 5.5.1 and newer. Project files for Tornado are provided that
support debug and release builds using the Diab C++ compiler.
!!!Requirements
!!Compiling the POCO C++ Libraries
When compiling the POCO C++ Libraries for a VxWorks target, as well as
when including POCO C++ Libraries headers in a project for a VxWorks
target, the preprocessor macro <[POCO_VXWORKS]> must be defined. This is
because the Diab C++ compiler does not provide a predefined macro that
allows for reliable detection of a VxWorks target.
!!VxWorks OS Libraries
The following VxWorks OS libraries are required and must be
available on the target:
- ansiTime
- clockLib
- cplusLib
- dirLib (for Poco::File and Poco::Environment)
- envLib (for Poco::Environment)
- ftruncate (for Poco::File)
- hostLib (for Poco::Environment)
- ifLib
- inetLib
- ioLib
- loadLib (for Poco::SharedLibrary)
- moduleLib (for Poco::SharedLibrary)
- netLib
- pthreadLib
- resolvLib
- sockLib
- symLib (for Poco::SharedLibrary)
- timerLib
- unldLib (for Poco::SharedLibrary)
Some OS libraries can be omitted if the POCO class requiring it
(given in parenthesis) is not used.
!!!Restrictions
!!Poco::Environment
- Poco::Environment::nodeName() returns the result of gethostname(); the host name
can be set with sethostname().
- Poco::Environment::processorCount() always returns 1.
!!Date/Time Support
- Timezone support requires that the <[TIMEZONE]> environment
variable is set accordingly on the target.
- Poco::Timezone::name(), Poco::Timezone::standardName() and
Poco::Timezone::dstName() all return the same value -- the
timezone name specified in the <[TIMEZONE]> environment variable.
!!Poco::File
- Poco::File::canRead() and Poco::File::canWrite() always return
true. Poco::File::canExecute() always returns false, as does
Poco::File::isLink().
- Poco::File::isHidden() works the same as on Unix platforms
(files with names starting with a period are considered hidden).
- Poco::File::setWriteable() and Poco::File::setExecutable()
are no-ops.
!!Poco::Path
Poco::Path::home() returns the value of environment variable <[HOME]>, if defined,
or else the root directory path ("/").
!!Poco::FPEnvironment
The Poco::FPEnvironment class is not available on VxWorks and
cannot be used.
!!Poco::Process, Poco::Pipe, Poco::SharedMemory, Poco::NamedEvent, Poco::NamedMutex
VxWorks does not support processes and POCO makes no attempt
to hide this fact. Poco::Process, Poco::Pipe (and related stream classes),
Poco::SharedMemory, Poco::NamedEvent and Poco::NamedMutex are not available on VxWorks.
!!Poco::RWLock
On VxWorks, Poco::RWLock is an ordinary mutex.
!!Poco::SharedLibrary
Symbol lookup (Poco::SharedLibrary::hasSymbol() and Poco::SharedLibrary::getSymbol()) is
slow, as the entire symbol table has to be searched sequentially (using symEach())
to find a symbol defined in a specific module.
!!Poco::UnicodeConverter
Poco::UnicodeConverter is not available on VxWorks because VxWorks does
not support std::wstring.
!!Poco::Util::Application
The macro <[POCO_APP_MAIN]> defines a function
int pocoAppMain(const char* appName, ...);
----
with a variable number of arguments. The first argument specifies the
name of the application and is equivalent to argv[0]. The remaining
arguments of type <[const char*]> specify command-line arguments. The
list of command-line arguments must be terminated by a NULL argument.
!!Poco::Util::ServerApplication
An application waiting in Poco::Util::ServerApplication::waitForTerminationRequest()
can be shut down by calling Poco::Util::ServerApplication::terminate().
The macro <[POCO_SERVER_MAIN]> defines a function
int pocoSrvMain(const char* appName, ...);
----
which works in the same way as <[pocoAppMain()]>, defined by <[POCO_APP_MAIN]>.
!!Crypto and NetSSL
Crypto and NetSSL_OpenSSL are currently not supported.
!!Data
Only the SQLite backend is currently supported.
Before building Data/SQLite for a VxWorks 5.5.1 target,
the patch in <*$POCO_BASE/patches/VxWorks/sqlite3.c.patch*>
must be applied by executing
$ patch -p0 <patches/VxWorks/sqlite3.c.patch
----
in a Unix/Linux or Cygwin shell (from the
<*$POCO_BASE*> directory). The patch is for
SQLite 3.7.4 and may not work with other releases.
!!!Build Notes
!!Generating Tornado 2.2 Project Files
The POCO C++ Libraries source code package does not contain
project files for Tornado. However, a Bash shell script is provided that
will generate the project files (.wpj). On Windows, a Cygwin installation
is required to run this script. Project files are
generated from VxWorks build description files (<**.vxbuild*>),
which are present in all library directories (<*$POCO_BASE/Foundation*>,
<*$POCO_BASE/XML*>, etc.) of libraries that are available on VxWorks. Also
required are build configuration files that specify the build settings
for a specific target architecture. These are located in
<*$POCO_BASE/build/vxconfig*>. To generate
a Tornado project file, run the <[vxprogen]> script from the
respective directory and pass the name(s) of the desired build configuration
as argument(s), e.g.:
$ cd Foundation
$ ../build/script/vxprogen PPC440diab_release
A new directory named <*vx*> will be created, containing the
generated Tornado project file. The project file can be
opened in Tornado, and a build can be started.
!!Testing
Every testsuite exports a global function that runs the tests,
similar to what the <*testrunner*> command does on Unix/Linux
systems. For example, to invoke the Foundation testsuite on
the target (using the host-based shell), first load the necessary modules:
=> ld <p:/poco-1.4/CppUnit/vx/PPC440diab_debug/cppUnit.out
Loading p:/poco-1.4/CppUnit/vx/PPC440diab_debug/cppUnit.out \
value = 13481712 = 0xcdb6f0
=> ld <p:/poco-1.4/Foundation/vx/PPC440diab_debug/pocoFoundation.out
Loading p:/poco-1.4/Foundation/vx/PPC440diab_debug/pocoFoundation.out -
value = 13294784 = 0xcadcc0
=> ld <p:/poco-1.4/Foundation/testsuite/vx/PPC440diab_debug/FoundationTestSuite.out
Loading p:/poco-1.4/Foundation/testsuite/vx/PPC440diab_debug/FoundationTestSuite.out -
value = 51068280 = 0x30b3d78
----
Then, if the testsuite does file I/O, set the target's current directory
to the testsuite directory:
=> @cd "/tgtsvr/poco-1.4/Foundation/testsuite"
----
It's also a good ideal to redirect the standard output to the
system console (serial port) with:
=> ?shConfig SH_GET_TASK_IO off
----
Then, the testsuite can be started:
=> FoundationTestSuiteRunner "-all"
----
The arguments passed to the FoundationTestSuiteRunner
(or any other testsuite runner) function are the same
as the ones passed to the <*testrunner*> command:
one or more test/testsuite names, "-all" to run all
tests, or "-print" to print all test/testsuite names.
!!Reference System
The reference system used for testing is an
AMCC Canyonlands evaluation board
(EV-460EX-KIT-05) running VxWorks 5.5.1.
