Re: Playing music using pike and SDL.
by Martin Nilsson (lvl 60) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 13 Mar '26

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

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.

debugger opcodes
by Bill Welliver 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

I noticed that folks have been working on code generation lately. Any chance it might be possible to implement some of the opcodes required to get debugging working (step, break, etc)? I seem to recall someone indicating it wasn't a terribly difficult task, but it's clearly beyond my understanding of the problem. Bill

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

_img_get_flat_from_image
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 27 Jan '13

In colortable.c in the Image module the last argument to _img_get_flat_from_image isn't used, but it has a lot of different values on the calling side. Should it be used?

pike --help=kladdkaka
by Hedda () ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

$ pike --help=kladdkaka Ingredients: 4 eggs 5 dl sugar 2 pinches salt 6 msk cocoa 200 g melted butter 3 dl wheat-flour 2 tsk vanilla sugar 1. Mix everything together 2. Pour into a greased circular form. 3. Bake in 175 degrees C (350 degrees F) for 1 hour. 4. Serve while it is still hot with whipped cream. ******************** It should say "6 tbs / 90 ml cocoa" and "2 tsp/10 ml vanilla sugar" otherwise it's hard to understand for non-Swedish people (Never mind that "kladdkaka" is 100% Swedish, but that's the name :P ).

overflow
by Arne Goedeke 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

I pushed a branch containing "hopefully" standard compliant overflow checks. Its in arne/of. I had to change a few places outside of bignum.h in order to get it all working with inlines. The switch from macro to inlines actually changed semantics, since the INT_TYPE_* macros were actually used both with int and unsigned int. Naturally, the inline functions fail to detect an overflow there, since INT_TYPE is 64 bit and calculations do not overflow. Maybe someone can try to compile and run verify on something other than amd64 with gcc? arne

git access
by H. William Welliver III 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Can someone grant me the ability to push branches? I've got a few feature branches I'd like to get feedback on but I can't push them because they have slashes in them (I assume it's preferred that I not clutter the branch namespace unnecessarily.) Bill
