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 … [View More]

Getopt mark II
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

(or rather Getopt mark III, since I've already rewritten the current one, although no functionality was changed then) I've been working a bit on a new Argument parser, and would like some input. In reality there will be two different way of using the argument parser, which really doesn't share any code but is convenient to do at the same time. The first one is a "I just want to get this over with" kind of interface: void main(int num, array argv) { mapping args = Arg.parse(argv); argv = … [View More]

Snapshot tarballs and packaging/debian
by Magnus Holmgren, FR Ryd (Nu med m�l och syfte) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

I have a few questions relating to pike in Debian (as you may know, the previous maintainer has retired from Debian and orphaned his packages). I've figured out that one can get a fresh tarball from http://pike.ida.liu.se/generated/pikefarm/packages/7.6/latest. What's the difference between that and checking out from CVS and running "make source" (which is what I suspect Marek has done), if any? Is there any archive of such tarballs except for the official releases? How did the packaging/… [View More]

Re: debian packages of 7.6.112

Er, wait. It's not in _/usr/lib_, which is why you use $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to it. I guess pike could set it somewhere...

Re: how to stop an iterator
by H. William Welliver III 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

> yeah, but next() is optional and not used by foreach There's no indication that next() is optional. At the very least, the documentation is somewhat lacking, if for no other reason than the api including two parallel sets of functions for interacting with the iterator, one of which is relatively more "standard" than the other without stating clearly which functions are actually used. I think most people who have used other languages with iterators will feel more comfortable … [View More]

how to stop an iterator
by H. William Welliver III 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I'm writing an iterator and under 7.7.34 (at least), I can't seem to get a loop using it to end, even though next() and `+=() both return UNDEFINED at the end, but the foreach loop doesn't ever seem to end. Am I missing something? Bill

static variables with function scope
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi. Some of you may have noticed that I implemented static variables with function scope a day or two ago. Example: int inc() { static int counter; return counter++; } The problem in Pike is that the intended lifetime of the variable isn't always obvious; consider nested classes: class X { int inc() { static int counter; return counter++; } } int main() { function(:int) X1 = X()->inc; function(:int) X2 = X()->inc; … [View More]

Structured data mk III
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

I've just made some experiments for a replacement to ADT.struct and ADT.Struct: > program struct = >> ADT.Serialize.SimpleStruct("struct", >> ADT.Serialize.Int32, "integer", >> ADT.Serialize.SimpleStruct("substruct", >> ADT.Serialize.String, "data" >> ), "sub"); > object o = struct(14); > indices(o); (1) Result: ({ /* 5 elements */ "encode", "decode", "_integer", "integer", … [View More]
