[omniORB]The omnithread problem and solution

[Peter Klotz]

Hello Alexey


> Hello All. My name is Alexey and i have a question. Recently i came across some omnithread problem. I am developing an application which uses CORBA of course and about 179 omnithreads. But when my application makes 166 threads  omni throw an exception omni_thread_fatal. I think that reason of this problem is fulfilled of stack. I've modified program code of omnithread library and it works. First of all i want to show my solution and ask why omniORB developers didn't make something like that? Maybe there were some problems, which i don't know. I've tested it and it worked fine. But maybe there will be situations where it will be cause of  problems. If so i will be glad to know that.

We use this on server startup:

#include <omnithread.h>

omni_thread::stacksize(2*1024*1024); // 2MB stack size

The default stack size of Linux is 10MB (see "ulimit -s") but 2MB work 
just fine for us.

Regards, Peter.
