Either that, or add ``<, but then you haven't actually won anything.

When to use rawtypes?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

I notice that some methods of String.Buffer use rawtypes, others don't. When is a rawtype helpful and/or necessary? -- Stephen.

Removal of 7.2 compat broke Stdio.read_file
by Chris Angelico 17 Sep '14

Test case: int main() {write(Stdio.read_file("readfileboom.pike"));} Oddly enough, this works fine if run from a non-installed Pike: rosuav@sikorsky:~/pike$ bin/pike readfileboom.pike int main() {write(Stdio.read_file("readfileboom.pike"));} But installing it and using that causes a crash: rosuav@sikorsky:~/pike$ pike readfileboom.pike /home/rosuav/pike/src/cyclic.c:39: Fatal error: Unlink cyclic on lost cyclic struct. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Terminfo.pmod:920:Indexing on illegal type. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Terminfo.pmod:920:Got : zero. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Terminfo.pmod:920:Index : string(97..116). /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Terminfo.pmod:936:Placeholder already has storage! /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:220:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:220:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:220:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:279:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:279:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:279:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:289:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:289:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:289:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:299:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:299:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:299:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:321:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:321:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:321:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:406:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:406:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:406:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:1394:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:1394:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:1394:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:1437:Must return a value for a non-void function. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:1437:Expected: mixed. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Readline.pike:1437:Got : void. /usr/local/pike/8.0.3/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod.0:-: Warning: Compilation failed: Compilation failed.

Win32: ERROR_DIRECTORY
by Martin Karlgren 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hey everybody, Shouldn't Windows' ERROR_DIRECTORY (267) code map to ENOTDIR? dosmaperr doesn't care about it for some reason, but still, it seems like a logical thing to do. Python does it since a couple of years (http://bugs.python.org/issue12802). set_errno_from_win32_error mentions winsock codes being passed through as-is though. What do you all think, is it likely that code depends on errno being ERROR_DIRECTORY in those cases? Do we need compat code for <= 7.8?

IOBuffer questions

Why do you keep io->this in the struct? Is it to avoid accessing the global Pike_fp->current_object ? -- Stephen.

Development discussion
by Peter Bortas 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Arne was in Linköping yesterday, so we had an impromptu development discussion about whatever was on peoples minds. Here are my notes for further discussion: * discussion ** remove constant evaluation timelimit for recursive compilation ** timezone compilation is slow ** Calendars documentation is incomprehensable ** Release 8.0 *** Not stable right now *** Does Bill want to be the release master? *** Backend fails on MacOS. Misses events. ** Don't support HEARTBEAT in SSL on the server ** remove class equals (too many equals) ** lvalues are the bane of performance ** Testcases and a benchmark for SSL are needed ** No backups ** Move _stuff to Debug module? ** Disable portable bytecode storage per default It takes up a lot of the allocated storage at start. ** Use Unicode versions of file operations on Windows ** Writing to the registry on Windows would be nice ** Figure out what todo about char normalization on Unix *** UTF-8 be default everywhere ** remove hardcoded char-encoiding in ASN-1 ** Fix sprintf table modes to... add fewer spaces? ** Prevent gcc unrolling of syscall checks ** Make pike_interpreter thread local ** Pike tracing support for line coverage ** move frame allocation into interpreter ** Put random debugging stuff into a common cmod ** Reduce the number of efuns ** Also more efuns! Things that are called from c code and are fast. ** A way to get a human readable function name everywhere would be nice But perhaps not possible ** Remove old conpat stuff. Begin with stuff that is more than 10 years old. ** Fix computed goto? *shake* Things points to maybe on ARM ** Is arrays incorrectly addressed by pointer into moved array ** extend string buffer to be able to read from it ** Kill ADT.struct? ** callback id is 0, could it be something better? ** Crashes with AIDO and encode_value on large data sets with several threads ** Add new git committer -- Peter Bortas

Backport fix of program indexing
by Chris Angelico 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

This was fixed in 8.0 with commit afa24a, but not on 7.8. Is it okay to backport this fix? See branch rosuav/backport_program_indexing_fix which is cherry-picking that commit and fixing an insignificant merge conflict. Test case: constant foo="test"; int main() {write("%O\n",this_program["foo"]);} On 7.8, this fails with "Indexing on illegal type". ChrisA

NUL termination of strings in the string builder
by Stephen R. van den Berg 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

What is the rationale behind the implicit and forced NUL termination of strings that are in the process of being constructed in the string_builder? Where do we depend on this? Is it a byte-0 or is it a wchar-0 ? Is this solely to be able to pass non-finished string builder strings to UNIX system calls? Why not add the zero byte only when the shared string is finalised? I ask, obviously, because the code is literally *littered* with these NUL termination assignments, which, if they could be avoided would clear up a lot of superfluous cruft. -- Stephen.
