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.

Array functions for perl lovers
by James Tyson 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

One of the first questions perl people ask when they try and use Pike is "where is shift()?!" I've implemented simple versions of push(), pop(), shift() and unshift () for the Array module with refdoc pointers to ADT.Stack (arguably the correct place for them). Can someone with write access please commit it to modules/Array.pmod? I'm willing to assign copyright to IDA because it's really only a few lines of code, but I do think it's a dumb policy. Take care. --- James Tyson I like to make things out of bits. http://helicopter.geek.nz/

If there is C++ class static like variable in Pike?
by 墳墓 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hello, I know there is a keyword called static in Pike class, but it means much more like friend in C++ language. I am woundering if there is static variable in class just like the C++ Language, that there is only one copy in memory, and can be access in all obeject from the same class? For example, class Test { static int howManyObject; }; I know I may used modules to archive this, but I only have one class, it seems no need to used modules. So, is there something like C++ static class varible in Pike?

Calendar.parse("%D%M%Y", "12202008"); and parse docs
by Martin Bähr 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

hi, why do %D, %M and %Y not work if they are placed directly next to each other? i know that for yearmonthday i can use %d, but it seems a bit odd that the format specifiers can't be placed right next to each other. and secondly, Calendar.YMD.Hour()->parse() is an odd place for the parse() docs, took me almost an hour to find that. (just kidding :-) how could i move that so that it can be found at the top level? greetings, martin.

FIXME Document this function
by James Tyson 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hey guys. I keep catching "FIXME Document this function" whenever I need to do something particularly useful, in this instance it's Graphics.Graph.bars(). Does anyone have any documentation for Graphics.Graph.* ? I'd be happy to add it to the modref autodocs if someone can give me some basic information about how it works. Thanks. --- James Tyson Nothing Crashed, Nothing Gained http://helicopter.geek.nz/

pike/mingw dynamic loading
by H. William Welliver III 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

I've been playing around with getting pike to compile under mingw, and the first attempt went pretty well, though dynamic loading was disabled. I fiddled with the configure script and managed to get dynamic loading enabled, but I'm having problems with actually compiling modules. I can't seem to figure out how to get the modules to link. I'm using the ld shipped with mingw, and unless I use -r (which I'm pretty sure isn't right, as i get an invalid link type error when I try to use the resulting so file), I get undefined symbols pointing to all of the pike functions. The pntld doesn't seem to want to work, either; it just outputs a 20 byte file, though I'm thinking there might be a simple fix, as it happily will generate a file with the -a option provided. Any thoughts or suggestions? Bill
