Sample fix/ workaround

Which exact Embarcadero C++ Builder are you using, the older 12.0 isn't supported anymore by the recent releases, see https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO/releases/tag/ACE%2BTAO-8_0_2.

[IgorZ63]

I am using Embarcadero® RAD Studio 12.2 Version 29.0.53982.0329.

[jwillemsen]

Try RAD Studio 12.3 or try to downgrade to ACE/TAO 8.0.2 with RAD Studio 12.2, haven't tested with 12.2 for some time now

[jwillemsen]

My support for the Embarcadero C++ compilers here on github is very limited, when you need guaranteed support see https://www.remedy.nl/opensource/emb

[IgorZ63]

On version 8.0.2 the same error.
