Hi, My name is Jens Kilian and I'm interested in porting Open CASCADE to the Be Operating System (BeOS). In a previous job I worked on a similar application, but I'm doing the port in my spare time. I've downloaded the code and am in the process of getting the Foundation Classes to compile; there are very few problems, all of them in the operating system specific code (memory manager and OSD). I noticed that there seem to be two substantially identical memory managers, one in Standard/Standard.cxx and another in Standard/StandardCSFDB.cxx. Both seem to be used. I haven't found any references in the documentation as to the existence of the two memory managers; can anybody explain why two are needed, and how they are used in the code?
Thanks in advance,
Jens.

StandardCSFDB.cxx includes Standard.hxx and is used for persistency things and therefore defines Standard_Persistent, which is aequivalent to Standard_Transient for non persistent classes.
So as you can see both are needed. If you do not inherit from Persistent classes, then you don't need it.
I made a mistake: It does not define it. It USES the persistance classes. Sorry.
With regards
Hello
Porting on BeOS is an interesting problem. Can you keep us informed of all the problems you have encountered ? What is the behaviour of the compiler ? Did you encounter problems with the porting of OSD ? Is it Posix ? What about the graphic interface ? Can you use shareable libraries ?
All these informations will be important for others.
