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...

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.

ghilfe
by lance dillon 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

So, I'm updating ghilfe to use GTK2, and I'm getting the following error: Bad argument 1 to indices(). Expected string|array|mapping|multiset| object|program|function. Unknown program: indices(0) /usr/local/pike/7.6.66/lib/modules/Tools.pmod/Hilfe.pmod:1810: /home/riffraff/bin/at()->MyEvaluator()->parse_expression(Tools.Hilfe.Expre ssion(({ /* 4 elements */ "int", " ", "i", ";" }))) /usr/local/pike/7.6.66/lib/modules/Tools.pmod/Hilfe.pmod:1481: /home/riffraff/bin/at()->MyEvaluator()->add_buffer("int i;") at.pike:101: /home/riffraff/bin/at()->run(@0=GTK2.Entry,@0) _static_modules.Builtin()->Backend: Pike.Backend(0)->`()() This is from the function run(), where it calls: eval->add_buffer(what); This is in parse_expression (as shown above), at the statement: rel_parser(expr, (multiset)(indices(variables)) ); The problem is, variables is only initialized if you load a program first (with ghilfe). If you don't, variables is 0, an uninitialized mapping. So, I think perhaps it might need to be modified to: if (mappingp(variables)) rel_parser(expr, (multiset)(indices(variables)) );

gtk2
by lance dillon 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I'd like to add a support module for GTK2, called GTK2Support, just like GTK has one called GTKSupport. This package has several useful composite widgets, such as an alert dialog (which does apparently was removed between GTK1 and GTK2), a simple combo list, an easier list widget (inherited from GTK2.TreeView, with some simplicity methods added), a PropertyBox widget (like the old Gnome.PropertyBox), and a simpler Text widget (inherits from GTK2.TextView, but more like a combination of TextView and TextBuffer, with some simplicity methods added). It is available on monger for 7.6, in the GTK2.21 module, if anyone wants to see what it is like, and if it is appropriate.
