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

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)?

Sql.pgsql behavior in case of errors
by aldem-pikedev＠aldem.net 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I am preparing to use Postgres in my app, found the following strange behavior: ---snip--- Sql.Sql db = Sql.Sql("pgsql://localhost", "test", "test", "test"); db->query("BEGIN"); db->query("INSERT INTO requests (SvTrId) VALUES ('lala')"); catch(db->query("INSERT INTO requests (SvTrId) VALUES ('lala')")); db->query("INSERT INTO requests (SvTrId) VALUES ('juju')"); db->query("ROLLBACK"); ---snip--- Database is opened, row with 'lala' is inserted, second query (obviously) fails as SvTrId is the primary key, but row with 'juju' is inserted *and* appears in the database - i.e. the transaction is *committed*! Studying source code show, that once error is encounter, session is reset, i.e. running transaction is rolled back, everything is closed, temporary tables are deleted and session variables are reset as well, and after that, the next statement(s) will be committed immediately, as there is no active transaction. In my opinion, this is not exactly correct behavior when statement fails, as session still may be needed (especially temporary tables, open cursors etc). Im some cases, this is perfectly normal when SQL statement fails, especially in SERIALIZED transaction isolation level, and it would be more practical to leave the decision as of what to do to the application. Yes, this is true that it is impossible to continue executing statements in failed transaction, but temporary tables etc. may still be needed. Also, silent reconnection is not a good idea too - when there are many transactional statements are executed - it would be nice to have an option to modify this behavior. Best regards, /Alexander

kqueue based file event notification and the backend
by Bill Welliver 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I've taken a cue from Arne's inotify module and have started working on one for kqueue based systems. The code basically works but suffers from a (imho) major drawback: it's not integrated with the Pike backend. The inotify code slides nicely into the backend, primarily because inotify presents itself as a standard fd with a read data event to indicate events. kqueue, however, uses different event types monitored by kqueue. Right now, a secondary kqueue loop can be run in a thread to wait for events, but that seems pretty ugly to me. I'd like to find a better approach. An alternate approach might be to hook a second, immediate-timeout call to kqueue() into the backend, similar to the GTK or ObjectiveC module. That's a little better, as at least the end user sees a more consistent approach to asynchronous events. Internally, I think it probably at least less efficient, with other possible drawbacks. I think the nicest approach would be to modify the kqueue backend so that it can register VNODE, PROC and SIGNAL filters and shunt them off to an appropriate handler. That, however, means that the backend would be split again (creating a KqueueBackend or similar), with the new implementation having different features. If anyone's interested in looking at the code, it's available here: https://bitbucket.org/hww3/public_system_kqueue/ I should note that I've commited some changes today away from my development box, so it's likely that the last few revisions have errors in them. Does anyone else have thoughts about these approaches (or have an alternate one?) Perhaps I've missed something obvious... it wouldn't be the first time! Best, Bill

Filesystem.Monitor and inotify
by H. William Welliver III 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Did I hear correctly that someone had modified Filesystem.Monitor to use methods other than polling? Can anyone fill me in on what's been done in that department (including code)? I have 7.9.5 and it doesn't appear to be present… Best, Bill

Re: [patch] allow multiple parts of a multipart form with the same name
by Erik Dahl 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Maybe you should add the mime type as well? Something like (not tested): if(variables[part->disp_params->name+".mimetype"] && arrayp(variables[part->disp_params->name+".mimetype"])) variables[part->disp_params->name+".mimetype"] += ({part->disp_params->mimetype}); /erik This is a response to: http://lists.lysator.liu.se/pipermail/pike-devel/2011-October/014499.html
