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)?

managing comport settings in linux
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 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.

trademark question

hi, i am reviewing the pike entry on wikipedia and noticed that the logo image lacks clear license information. while trying to find out what the actual license is i found that there is no clear information on the pike website either. i think it would be helpful if http://pike.ida.liu.se/about/pike/ contained a phrase like: the pike name and logo are registered trademarks of IDA. i would also like to clarify the license of the logo images on http://pike.ida.liu.se/download/logotype/ i believe there is no problem with making them gpl or mpl since they are protected by a trademark anyways. are there any issues with adding these clarifications on the pike site? greetings, martin.

Re: Pike encoding/EBCDIC

You might want to try the encoding UTF-EBCDIC, which I believe is something like that. It's new to Pike 7.8 though.

> array v=({1,2,3}); > for (int i=0; i<sizeof(v); i++) v+=({17}); Ok. Why? While > int i; > for (i=0; i<sizeof(v); i++) v+=({17}); doesn't finish (as it shouldn't).

unsigned int optimizations?
by Martin Bähr 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

hi, i just wondered if pike does any optimization on int(0..x) i mean any case where x is below 4294967296 should fit into an unsigned int, so there would be no need to transition to bignum for these. and int(0..255) fits into a byte. does or can pike make use of that? greetings, martin.
