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

Cryptography update
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

A small progress report update on the cryptographic developments. It is now possible to generate and validate certificates signed with DSA SHA1/SHA224/SHA256 and RSA MD2/MD5/SHA1/SHA256/SHA384/SHA512. I've successfully verified openssl certificates with the X509 module, and as a system test I've set up a TLS webserver with DSA certificate and had wget (using openssl) download from it. Besides the key generation, I feel that this part of the code is now in good shape.

Top links in documentation looks broken
by Tor Edvardsson ＠ Pike developers forum 18 Nov '13

The top liknks in the documentation looks really broken. The links have line breaks so its just messed thinks up. Best would be to scrap the table layout and just have a ul-list for it.

That means I'm now running a clean 8.0! ChrisA

Thanks! That was to cure a compiler warning using gcc on OS/2, if I recall correctly. Not a big deal, was just a "try to make sure things are safe" check. Unlikely - if even possible - to make a difference on any actually-supported platform. ChrisA

This looks like a good opportunity to mention a few patches that I haven't heard back regarding. They're mostly fairly trivial/simple. Is there a better way to suggest patches than posting them to this list or pike@roxen? ChrisA
