Re: Playing music using pike and SDL.
by Martin Nilsson (lvl 60) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 13 Mar '26

Were you not able to get any C code to play through SDL either? Does your SDL library have a mixer compiled in it (I think it is optional)?

managing comport settings in linux
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

Not a good idea; the design philosophy of Pike is that Pike-level code should never be able to cause memory corruption at C-level. With ioctls there's no way to know what data a specific ioctl wants without reading the documentation for that specific ioctl for that specific OS. ioctls and fcntls are a way for device handlers to hook in APIs that aren't standard across all filedescriptors. / Henrik Grubbström (Lysator) Previous text: >2004-08-17 13:32: >Subject: managing comport settings in linux >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >What would be nice, is a way to define ioctl methods in >Pike.

Pike 7.6

It is time for a new release of Pike 7.6. Is there anyone who can do the release notes? If not, we'll just wait a bit longer...

GTK2
by Marcus Comstedt (ACROSS) (Hail Ilpalazzo!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Could someone with an insight into the intrinsics of the GTK2 module explain to me why e.g. GTK2.Label.set_markup() is implemented by hand in gtklabel.pre? As far as I can see, the autogenerator would have generated an identical function, except that non-ASCII strings would have actually worked...

pike embedding
by H. William Welliver III 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I managed to build libpike.so from the 7.7 tree last night, and a few minutes ago I ran through the source for main.c, and pulled out what looks like the bare minimum code for starting an embedded pike interpreter. Right now, it performs the same actions as a regular pike, in that your first argument should be a pike script. Differences are that it doesn't parse any command line options, and the pike master must be specified in the PIKE_MASTER environment variable. To get a libpike, you just run a "make lib" from the 7.7 directory. Also, you'll probably want to rename the resulting .so file to libpike.so (I'm sure there's a good reason why the generated file is named "pike.so", but in order for the linker to use it, it has to start with lib :) I'd say that about 25% of the 120 lines of code in this example are the include files, and another 25-35% are for handling errors before the master is initialized. So, the end result is that it takes less than 50 lines of code to initialize, start and shut down the pike compiler. I'd imagine that a good portion of the code in this example could be made into some standard helper functions, and that you're really only dealing with a dozen lines of code or so. Note that none of this is original work on my part; I'm just passing on the results of my attempts at building a program that uses the embedded interpreter. I'd encourage discussion on what the embedding "niceties" should look like. the code: http://hww3.riverweb.com/dist/pike_embedding Bill

Resolving local variables in inherited classes
by Marcus Agehall (PacketFront) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

I'm working on Xine-bindings for pike and I've encountered a situation where I need to access variables in other objects, declared as CVAR in the cmod source. My program structure looks like this PIKECLASS Engine { PIKECLASS AudioPort program_flags PROGRAM_USES_PARENT; { CVAR int my_variable; } PIKECLASS Stream program_flags PROGRAM_USES_PARENT; { PIKEFUN void create(object /*AudioPort object*/ ap) { /* Here I need to access ap->my_variable */ } } } I've looked a bit at how I resolve the parent context in the inner classes, but I can't make it work for the ap-object. I guess my question boils down to, how do I find out where the AudioPort local variables begin in ap->storage?

wx 0.5 / autoconf
by Bill Welliver 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I've messed around with the wx module and have updated it so that it builds with pike -x module. this updated code builds on mac os x with wx mac installed, but i think there are some problems with the module on os x that aren't related to the updated build process. i've put the code at: http://hww3.riverweb.com/dist/wx-0.5-autoconf.tar.gz for the maintainer to look at; i misplaced his email, so hopefully this will make it to his inbox :) any thoughts and opions are welcome! bill

New distribution
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

It's time for another 7.6 distribution soon. There are a couple of nasty little bugs that have been fixed since the last one, and I said we were going to release a bit more often. No big rush this time though, so if someone has something in perticular they'd like to fix it can wait a week. If not I'll try to make a release this weekend. Take a look at CHANGES and make sure your changes are documented.

I don't think the problem is in the HTTP module, but rather in the SSL module. I'll see if I can make some further progress later this week.
