ACE Tutorial 011 Passing non-trivial data through an ACE_Message_Queue

Before we go further, let's look at this Data object that's causing all the fuss.

#ifndef DATA_H
#define DATA_H

class DataBase
{
public:
  DataBase (void)
  {
    ACE_DEBUG ((LM_DEBUG,
                "(%P|%t) DataBase ctor 0x%x\n",
                (void *) this));
  }

                (void *) this));
  }

  }

#endif /* DATA_H */

Ok, no mysterious magic on this one. Just a simple object and derivative that report their existence.
