Facets
by Martin Nilsson (DivX Networks) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Mikael Amborns facet implementation is finally checked into Pike. Facets allows you to enforce that a multiple inheritance is used when functionality is split into several classes. One current misfeature is that the facet group object needs to exist before (e.g. loader wrapper) or be created during compilation (e.g. .pmod file). Usage example: > add_constant( "Bunny", FacetGroup() ); (1) Result: 0 > class White { facet Color:Bunny; } > class Black { facet Color:Bunny; } > … [View More]

Bug in precompile.pike
by Marcus Agehall (PacketFront) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

There seems to be a bug in precompile.pike in 7.7. I checked out a fresh copy from CVS this morning and it failed to compile the SQLite module which Nilsson checked in last night. I looked at the code and found that on line 145, it does store = GET_RESOBJ_STORAGE(res); which the C-compiler later complains about. Some investigation shows that precompile.pike gives the following define for that macro: #define GET_RESOBJ_STORAGE ((struct ResObj_struct *)(o->storage+ResObj_storage_offset) … [View More]

C documentation
by Martin Nilsson (DivX Networks) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

One topic discussed at the Pike Camp was documentation. With the beginners book just around the corner and the module tree documentation almost complete, the lack of documentation of the C API was deemed the most important area to improved. Thus we decided to immideatly try out doxygen for this, and as an experiment we documented array.[ch] and generated this: http://pike.ida.liu.se/generated/manual/c_api/html/index.html To not clash with autodoc, only the /** syntax is used, and not the /*! one. Comments?

Ncurses
by Kaos 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Howdi, I've tried to make a relase on modules.gotpike.org, but it keeps saying I've not provided any source when uploading my tar-archive. So, anyone interested to see what've been done this far, please use the following link: http://kaos.explosive.se/files/Stdio_Ncurses-0.4.tar.gz There's still alot to do.. but basic operation of ncurses should work. Tested (somewhat) on both 7.6.25 and 7.7.9. For a compiled refdoc, refer to: http://www.explosive.se/~kaos/doc/ncurses/ex/predef_3A_3A/Stdio/Ncurses.html // Andreas

Problems with SDL.h
by Marcus Agehall (PacketFront) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

Several times over the last 24h my buildtree has failed to compile, complaining about the SDL.h file which it doesn't know how to generate. Apparently, SDL.h is marked as a dependency in the SDL module and make apparently doesn't look for the dependencies in the standard include dirs. Removing the builddir and rebuilding from scratch usually works. Anyone else seen this problem?

Strange segfault
by David Gourdelier 16 Oct '04

Hi, I have a strange backtrace with Pike 7.6.25 that I didn't see before: #0 0x080e3e22 in gc_mark_object_as_referenced (o=0x99a00b3) at object.c:1721 1721 DOUBLEUNLINK(first_object, o); (gdb) bt #0 0x080e3e22 in gc_mark_object_as_referenced (o=0x99a00b3) at object.c:1721 #1 0x08111263 in run_queue (q=0x823d2e8) at queue.c:43 #2 0x080b42ac in do_gc (ignored=0x82cc4f8, explicit_call=0) at gc.c:2844 #3 0x0809e34b in low_call_callback (lst=0x823d254, arg=0x0) at callback.c:167 #4 … [View More]

atexit
by Martin Nilsson (DivX Networks) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 16 Oct '04

It looks like atexit is broken. Some recent change prevents the Redline cleanup code to always run when you exit Hilfe, messing up the terminal. Who did something here last? mast? grubba?

ncurses
by Kaos 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi, We're about to use ncurses from pike, and thus need a module to interface with the ncurses lib. My question then is: does anyone have (and want to share) a ncurses module? Otherwise, we'll develop one ourselves (will put it on modules.gotpike.org as soon as we have something usefull). Or is there a better way(tm) ? // Andreas

longjmps in pike
by Marcus Agehall (PacketFront) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

While looking at the code in dbg_main(), I saw that pike uses longjmps. I suspect the use for this is the exception handling stuff. Am I on the right track? Can someone elaborate a bit on the usage as to where it is used in pike and how things are supposed to interact..?
