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)?

Process.run
by Peter Bortas (nu med mindre Opera) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

I just checked in a Process.run() in 7.7: http://pike.ida.liu.se/development/cvs/diff.xml?module=Pike&file=7.7/lib/mo… The rational for that is that I was once again reminded by a user this week that getting Process.create_process() or Process.Process right without some corner case blocking is hard. It's not obvious that if you bind pipes to booth stderr and stdout you have to take in to account that OS buffers are not limetless. Process.run() is a thin wrapper around Process.Process that collects stdout, stderr and exitcode and return them in a mapping. This could potentially result in huge strings, but will do what most users want and even already do when they call create_process() with both pipes bound. Something like this should be in 7.8, but I'm open to suggestions for other things that might be usefull to return in the mapping or for changing member names.

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...

Re: Test failure report: 7.6.86/OSX-Intel

That's a standard bug in the GLUE module I thought was fixed. :-) It's not possible to do glGet until GL is initialized on most platforms.

Test failure report: 7.6.86/OSX-Intel
by H. William Welliver III 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

I was in the process of building some packages, and thought I'd run the testsuite. One test did fail, and I figured I'd send it on for completeness: /Users/hww3/Pike-v7.6.86/src/testsuite.in:10260: Test 10425 (shift 2) failed to return proper results. 1: 2: array a() 3: { 4: Stdio.File p = Stdio.File(); 5: object pid = Process.create_process(RUNPIKE_ARRAY + 6: ({ "/Users/hww3/Pike-v7.6.86/ src/test_resolve.pike" }), 7: ([ "stdout":p->pipe (Stdio.PROP_IPC) ])); 8: __signal_watchdog(); 9: string results = lower_case(p->read()); 10: __signal_watchdog(); 11: int err = pid->wait(); 12: int ok; 13: int failed; 14: if (((sscanf(results, "%*sok:%d", ok) != 2) + 15: (sscanf(results, "%*sfailed:%d", failed) != 2)) == 2) { 16: // No "ok", and no "failed". 17: return ({ err, results }); 18: } 19: return ({ ok, failed }); 20: } 21: o->a(): ({ /* 2 elements */ -1, "invalid memory access of location 00000ab0 eip=92c39c8d\n" })

bundles and solaris/x86
by H. William Welliver III 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Are bundles broken in the latest 7.6 release? I wasn't able to build pike on a brand new installation without first installing nettle and gmp. The bundles seem to be present, and are untarred, but don't seem to be used. Everything worked fine after I built and installed them. Also, I packaged up the latest release for Solaris 10/intel. All of the usual features included from the standard install plus the companion software disc. I'm uploading it to: http://hww3.riverweb.com/dist/pike if someone wants to take them and put them on the main download site. Bill
