Description Frantisek Reznicek 2010-05-25 09:55:17 UTC
Description of problem:

There is recent change in qpid::sys::Duration::Duration() c++ client library which causes all c++ clients using qpid::sys::Duration::Duration(qpid::sys::AbsTime&) call to be not compilable:

It looks like 
qpid::sys::Duration::Duration(const qpid::sys::AbsTime&, 
                              const qpid::sys::AbsTime&)
candidate should have second parameter with default value like this:
qpid::sys::Duration::Duration(const qpid::sys::AbsTime&, 
                              const qpid::sys::AbsTime& = N)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qpid-cpp-*0.7.946106-1.el[45]

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile a client with qpid::sys::Duration::Duration(qpid::sys::AbsTime&) call
  
Actual results:
Client does not compile.

Expected results:
Client should compile fine.

This issue breaks ABI compatibility between releases.

Comment 2 Frantisek Reznicek 2010-05-25 10:06:40 UTC
It seems that 937147 commit introduced the issue:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/qpid/trunk/qpid/cpp/include/qpid/sys/Time.h?r1=931995&r2=937147&diff_format=h

Comment 3 Andrew Stitcher 2010-05-25 14:16:36 UTC
This removal was deliberate, and was not in the API/ABI poart of the library.

The timing classes are only exposed incidentally to clients.

The major reason for the removal is that the meaning of constructing a Duration from an AbsTime is ambiguous, and potentially different between platforms, as it was just exposing the underlying nanosecond count. You can only meaningfully construct a duration from the difference between two absolute times.

We've now added a constant AbsTime::EPOCH which corresponds to the absolute time at the Unix Epoch, so you can construct what you probably wanted all along.

If you've code like this then you need to replace it with something like:

Duration d(AbsTime::EPOCH, time);
