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

Possible bug in Gz with latest Pike 7.8.866 Windows?
by Chris Angelico 29 Jul '14

Not sure how to diagnose this. Test case: int main() { string zip="E\217Aj\3""1\fE\367s\212OV-\204\\\243\27\310\276(cMF\240X\306\226;8\247\217fh\323\225\340\363y\377\351\272JC\222\312\263[\35\230)\343\306\350\215\23\26\253P\233IQ\264\337%\267""3\266U\346\25T\31\331\34\205\252\303\26\370\312x\220\344\351k\224\326\37\250\\\254\311\316\273\340\272\362\300&\252;V\215R\200iq\256 }\203!\371\r\371\313\246\177\251\217\324\31nQ\t\327\33K\276\207\247j\220N\317\347\367\241x\2\345\24\205\336\320\254\372^Qj\376y\336\363\351\330\317\374\23\253aaq\267*\356\34\277\216(\f\364\222\310\217\215\337\27\304\33\353r\231^"; object infl=Gz.inflate(-15); string data=infl->inflate(zip); write("Inflated %d bytes to %d; end-of-stream ought to be \"\": %O\n",sizeof(zip),sizeof(data),infl->end_of_stream()); } Yeah, that's hardly minimal, sorry. It does seem to be data-dependent. On Pike 8.0 on Linux, this produces: Inflated 185 bytes to 287; end-of-stream ought to be "": "" This is correct. The given byte stream is a complete deflation sequence, and end-of-stream is reached with no additional data. Pike 7.8.866 on Windows (the current .msi) says 0 at the end, instead - implying that it's still looking for more data. I'm no expert on compression algorithms, so I have no idea what's going on here. Is it some kind of weird bug in zlib? ChrisA

After a few weeks of messing around with libraries, I’ve got a windows build of Pike with a reasonably complete set of modules ready for testing. Please have a look and let me know if there are any problems or modules that would be advantageous to add. Pike-v7.8.866-win32.msi Thanks in advance!

Hi, my name is Guillaume Collet, I'm a french bioinformatician interested in Pike. This message was just to introduce myself. I write C/C++ for for 10 years and I found Pike's features really interesting. That's why I'm here. Cheers, Guillaume.

Re: Float details

Which serialization? Doesn't ASN.1 have a string format for floats if you want (third byte with value 3 followed by the string)?
