wierd syntax?
by Martin Bähr 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

is there a reason why pike allows whitespace between ( and [ for ([ ? (same for ]) and ({ }) of course) i always viewed ([ as an inseperable entity (like += or other multicharacter elements) can anyone explain this? greetings, martin.

precompile on 7.8.8
by H. William Welliver III 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

I'm getting an error when precompiling a pmod on 7.8.8: precompile: pike /usr/local/pike/7.8.8/include/pike/precompile.pike pcap.cmod /usr/local/pike/7.8.8/include/pike/precompile.pike:2007:Too many arguments to sprintf (expected 5 arguments). /usr/local/pike/7.8.8/include/pike/precompile.pike:2007:Got : string. I noticed that the sprintf statement has a wrong number of arguments for the formatting string. Can someone who understands this take a quick look? Bill

Deprecation problem
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 21 Sep '08

I changed the type of `<< in file_functions.h to tAttr("deprecated", tFunc(tMixed,FILE_OBJ)) which didn't have any visible effect when doing file<<"string". However, if I add the following to the File class i module.pmod object `<<(mixed in) { return ::`<<(in); } I'll get the warning /home/nilsson/Pike/7.8/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:804: Warning: Calling a deprecated value. /home/nilsson/Pike/7.8/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/module.pmod:804: Warning: Using deprecated object(implements _static_modules.files()->Fd_ref) value. Is this hiding a bug or a misfeature?

pike-svn.lysator.liu.se

This is an announcement that a Subversion repository for Pike is now available on eureka under the following two URLs: http://pike-svn.lysator.liu.se/ - read-only access https://pike-svn.lysator.liu.se/ - commit access To use the https address, you need a client certificate. I've written instructions on <http://mc.pp.se/svncert.xhtml> how to make and use one. (CSR:s can be sent to me.) If it turns out that this is inconvenient, we can change to basic auth with name and password instead. Please note that while it's perfectly allright to commit for test purposes, anything committed to the repository at this time _will_ be lost when I make the next conversion run, so don't commit anything "real". :-) Feedback on server setup or problems with the repository itself is welcome.

Error decoding XMLRPC call
by cschalkwijk 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hello, I receive the following error when decoding an XMLRPC call. Error decoding XMLRPC call: All data must be inside tags (location 24904: "/"...) I'd like to know if the location is the character position of the error causing xml/text/whatever and, if it is, if I should take anything into account while finding that position (e.g. tab to space conversions). I seem to get the location number with a file of 24230 characters.

Git repository
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 12 Sep '08

I'm trying to fully understand the history as presented by git. One of the things I can't work out is this: Take a look at src/pike_memory.c on the 7.8 branch in gitk. For the last few commits it says 7.7 and 7.8 branches only, which is what I expect. But at the commit "Added DMALLOC_USE_HASHBASE mode" it suddenly claims 7.4 and 7.6 too, and that that commit precedes both tags v7.4.512 and v7.7.40. Why is that? I can't see this commit or any descendant on the 7.4 branch. All commits after that one are also claimed to be on essentially all branches. This is something I see in general all over the repository. If the history of several branches is viewed at once then this makes it difficult to see on which branch(es) a commit is really made.

socktest.pike

What is socktest.pike trying to achieve? Right now, I noticed that it achieves this: | Sep 9 16:23:48 orchid kernel: [17205413.808000] printk: 4 messages suppressed. | Sep 9 16:23:48 orchid kernel: [17205413.808000] ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. | Sep 9 16:23:53 orchid kernel: [17205419.572000] printk: 4 messages suppressed. | Sep 9 16:23:53 orchid kernel: [17205419.572000] ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. | Sep 9 16:23:58 orchid kernel: [17205424.104000] printk: 8 messages suppressed. | Sep 9 16:23:58 orchid kernel: [17205424.104000] ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. | Sep 9 16:24:04 orchid kernel: [17205430.476000] printk: 6 messages suppressed. | Sep 9 16:24:04 orchid kernel: [17205430.476000] ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. | Sep 9 16:24:08 orchid kernel: [17205434.248000] printk: 3 messages suppressed. | Sep 9 16:24:08 orchid kernel: [17205434.248000] ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. and 65,000+ ip_conntrack, indeed (from /proc/net/ip_conntrack). This is probably not exactly the intention, so what *is* the intention?

Someone knows anything about this problem on a solaris machine? Wait thread: waitpid returned error: 0 The output is from signal_handler.c, and there is an issue reported on FreBSD for this. http://community.roxen.com/crunch/show_bug.cgi?id=3917
