Dangerous Install Script!
by mcoon - Apr 9th 2006 19:55:42
For those interested Linux users out there, WATCH OUT! The automated
install is dangerous! In the instructions, you are to provide a root
install directory, assuming that this was analogus to the usual Linux
automake script variable "--prefix", us gave it /usr/local. When
I didn't like what I saw, I canceled the script... & on the way out tf
the script, it deleted my /usr/local directory!!!! Ouch! To make matters
worse, this was on an ext3 device, which means no recovery!
From this point on, I'm going to assume any "portable" open
source project not integrated with automake is hostile.

Documentation
by mcoon - Mar 31st 2006 18:48:35
An uncomonly high quality product for this site. Complete, reasonably easy
to build, and no onerous dependencies (like relying on some XXX version of
gnome libraries for instance). Now if only they could get some decent
online documentation that you didn't have to pay for (see the Safari
link to their book in the current docs).

No more wasted time
by Jose Luis Marina - Jan 21st 2006 09:50:53
ACE is a very good tool for programming eficient and reusable code.
Moreover is platform independent as I´ve seen compiling the same code
in several linux flavours, solaris and windows with several compilers.
I've been studing about two months but after that, we have improved our
productivity, focusing in design.
Pretty good middleware for networked and distributed applications. We are
using it a lot.

ACE documentation
by mtw - Aug 23rd 2000 08:40:47
in my opinion the documentation is good to get an overview, but it sucks if
you're looking for a specific method or class or something.
The html index is too sparse and I'm sure that a bunch of people don't use
it because of the docs... besides from that its a really cool and well
designed package. thumbs up...

Re:ACE library

IMHO I find the documentation is very good. Have you tried
tons of examples that come with the distribution and more
recently the "ACE Programers Guide" contributed by HUGHES.

ACE library
by Ungod - Mar 9th 1999 05:14:15
best implementation of thread locking i've ever seen. Overall brilliant and
helpful library. Only falldown is severe lack of documentation. (for those
of you who don't like hunting through header files, and even then they're
minimalistic comments).
