managing comport settings in linux
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 09 Apr '26

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)?

Happened to notice the list archive at nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/Pike---Dev-f14138.html Grubba is apparently very talkative, although he talks to himself a lot too. ;)

get_dir() problem
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Something is fishy with get_dir(). I had a directory with 232 directories in, where get_dir() returned an empty array. Adding a directory fixed it to return the correct result. ls had no problems, and when tracing get_dir() syscalls it looks like it gets the correct things back: Non-working;: open(".", O_RDONLY) = 7 fpathconf(7, _PC_NAME_MAX) = 255 fcntl(7, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0 fstat(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFFDF9AB0) = 0 getdents(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFEEE4000, 8192) = 8168 getdents(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFEEE4000, 8192) = 1160 getdents(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFEEE4000, 8192) = 0 close(7) = 0 Working after adding dirs: open(".", O_RDONLY) = 7 fpathconf(7, _PC_NAME_MAX) = 255 fcntl(7, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0 fstat(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFFDF9AB0) = 0 getdents(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFEEE4000, 8192) = 8176 getdents(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFEEE4000, 8192) = 1224 getdents(7, 0xFFFFFD7FFEEE4000, 8192) = 0 close(7) = 0 root:~# /usr/local/bin/pike --dumpversion 7.8.116 root:~# uname -a SunOS ministore 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc

trademark question
by Martin Bähr 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

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.

Big endian twos complement
by Coen Schalkwijk 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

I'm giving OpenID a try and need to get the big endian two's complement of a large (if not) number (a/the default Diffie-Hellman 'p' value) how do I do that in Pike? I've tried to figure it out myself, but I get a bit lost between all the definitions. Thanks in advance!
