negative indices in array ranges
by Martin Baehr 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

hi, instead of having to do: reverse(reverse(foo/"/")[1..]); i'd very much prefer: (foo/"/")[..-2]; are there any reasons that speak against supporting this other than me not being able to offer a patch? greetings, martin.

levels might possibly be from -1 and up, -1 meaning infinite.

managing comport settings in linux
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 09 Apr '26

09 Apr '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.

automap: [*] not supported here. bug?
by Martin Bähr 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

hi, can you explain why: random(allocate(3,9)[*]); or random(({9,9,9})[*]); don't work, while array foo = allocate(3,9); random(foo[*]); does? greetings, martin.

Calendar woes
by Jonas Walld�n ＠ Pike developers forum 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

I'm trying to use the Calendar module in 7.4 for some basic stuff: > Calendar.ISO.Day(2005, 03, 30); (36) Result: Day(Wed 30 Mar 2005) > Calendar.ISO.Day(2005, 03, 30) - Calendar.ISO.Month(); (37) Result: Day(Wed 2 Mar 2005) Is that the expected output? I'd love to hear the rationale for that. :-) (BTW, 7.7 returns the same so it's not a 7.4 issue.) More importantly, how can I accomplish month-by-month stepping that pins the day number within the prev/next month? Of course one method would be to create Month objects manually and compare days etc but I figure it's probably already solved.

broken threading
by Marc Dirix 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

I'm currently working on a bug in Chilimoon. The problem is we're getting the following error messages: Backend already in use by another thread. _static_modules.Builtin()->Backend: Pike.Backend(0)->`()("Backend already in use by another thread.\n") This error comes from backend.cmod. After doing some research I've discovered the bug occurs after an cvs checkin of backend.cmod in pike on 2005-01-20. r1.161 is working, r1.163 isn't. It might be possible this checkin breaks the shuffler which is used by Chilimoon, and not by Roxen Webserver. Roxen Webserver does not have the same problem.

Is there a good reason why the automap feature doesn't work on mappings?
