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

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.

Re: Playing music using pike and SDL.

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)?

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...

sprintf %O
by Martin Nilsson (Opera) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

While the new multiline sprintf %O looks snazzy, it will break code for everyone that uses it to ensure that a string contains no "bad" characters. Think log files, one line per entry. This needs to be reverted IMO as the effects on applications are hard to determine. For reference: Pike v7.7 release 23 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend) > "foo\nbar"; (1) Result: "foo\n" "bar"

patch to support schemas in Sql.postgres()->list_fields
by Adam Montague 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

This patch lets you do db->list_fields("schema.table") on Sql.postgres objects, which is needed if you have tables with the same names in different schemas. It also fixes the check for has_relexpires which wasn't using a valid SQL query. Adam

Pike on Windows (take 247)
by Bill Welliver 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

I'm back at compiling Pike on Windows, this time I'm using VC6; but I'm still having problems with main.c from 7.7 CVS. Apparently I had previously hacked up main.c in order to get things to compile, but things should probably work from CVS, right? :) Anyhow, here's the error: C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(168) : error C2372: 'init_pike' : redefinition; different types of indirection C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\pike_embed.h(44) : see declaration of 'init_pike' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(169) : error C2372: 'init_pike_runtime' : redefinition; different types of indirection C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\pike_embed.h(47) : see declaration of 'init_pike_runtime' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(261) : error C2065: 'libpike_name' : undeclared identifier C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(261) : error C2065: 'RTLD_NOW' : undeclared identifier C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(261) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(262) : warning C4047: 'initializing' : 'const char *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(278) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void (__cdecl *)(char ** ,const char *)' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(278) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(278) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void (__cdecl *)(char ** ,const char *)' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(278) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(279) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void (__cdecl *)(void (__cdecl *)(int ))' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(279) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(279) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void (__cdecl *)(void (__cdecl *)(int ))' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(279) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(280) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void (__cdecl *)(char *)' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(280) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(280) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void (__cdecl *)(char *)' differs in levels of indirection from 'int ' C:\msys\1.0\home\e10401\7.7\src\main.c(280) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value CL returned error code 2.
