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)?

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

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
