Version 1.9 of the C++ Middleware Writer is now available. This
version
adds support for Boost Array and it also has a command line interface
that allows users to bypass the web interface. In other words, it
makes
it easy to integrate the C++ Middleware Writer into your build
process.

One thing about the command line interface that is kind
of interesting is that is uses bzip2 to compress files
before transmitting them. I came across a kind of
unusual situation when working on this part of the
program. The program first calculates the number of
bytes in a message. There's no way to figure out
how many bytes a file will be when its compressed
without actually compressing it. But I wasn't ready to
marshall the compressed data at that point -- I'm
still counting how many bytes are in the message.
So I decided to store the compressed data in a deque
for later use. This means the CalculateMarshallingSize
function has a side effect that is later used by the Send
function. One alternative would be to do the compression
twice, but that didn't seem like the right answer so I
took the aforementioned approach. The code is mostly
here -- http://webEbenezer.net/misc/File.cc.
