[omniORB] Again about OmniOrb and shared objects

[Andrey Koubychev]

Hello omniorb authors and developers,

      I'm trying to put some work with corba into .so file on linux.
      However i expirience some problems. Ideally, my dll should be
      used from apache module. I wrote this module and this dll helper
      (which uses corba) and it worked perfecly on win32 system.
      But when i ported it to linux i meet problems with threading
      locking. Very often call from ORB_init never returns.
      I wrote simple program to test it , and it never returns from
      orb->destroy.
       here is .so module :
       ....
       static CORBA::ORB_var orb = NULL;
       ....
extern "C"  void orbdestr (void) __attribute__ ((constructor));
extern "C"  void orbinit (void) __attribute__ ((destructor));

extern "C"  void orbinit (void) {
        int params=0;
        orb = CORBA::ORB_init(params,NULL, "omniORB3");
};

extern "C"  void orbdestr (void) {
        if (orb) orb->destroy();
};
       
extern "C"  void mytest (void) {
            .. here comes a piece of code from any echo example
}

       test.c program loads this .so dynamicly , calls mytest and then
       returns. But in orbdestr it falls in endless wait ....
       Could you please any comments ?
       I also would like to hear any comments on usage in
       multithreaded(with pthreads and forks) environment under linux.
       Thank you for attention.
