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.

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...

The Computer Langauge Shootout has been revived again, and with lots of rewrites they are missing pike tests and asked for our input. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/sandbox/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=pike&…

bug tracker
by Martin Bähr 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

hi, i am wondering about the state of bug tracking. www.gotpike.org points to alexanders bug tracker which doesn't really seem to get used, while the old tracker at community.roxen.com still sees some use. when alexander set up the tracker, the initiative was welcomed, which seems to indicate that some were not all to happy with crunch. but is hasn't cought on yet. does anyone care which tracker is used? should we point people to both or what would you like to happen in the future? for now i have added a pointer to crunch in the developers section. (something which i started in march, no idea what got me sidetracked, i guess i need a taskmanager for myself) greetings, martin.

@ for mappings?
by Martin Bähr 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

hi, just had a thought for a nice feature that i don't remember having come up here before: for a function with lots of optional arguments it would be nice to take a mapping and splice it up into the args: void foo(void|string s, void|int i, void|float f) could be called as: foo( @([ "f":5.3 ]) ) usefull? greetings, martin.

embedding
by Bill Welliver 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

I was wondering what the status was of embedding that was being worked on by a few people. I was wondering if it would be possible to get a status, and maybe a look at the code (even if it's non-working) Bill

7.7 changes
by Jonas Walld�n ＠ Pike developers forum 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

I question the correctness of the changes checked into 7.7 last night by Nilsson (CVS comment "No longer allocate unused space for terminating char."). The +1 was not intended for accomodating a terminating character but to make sure zero-sized images get handled correctly in case malloc(0) returns NULL.
