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.

pike_frame->fun = FUNCTION_BUILTIN
by Arne Goedeke 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

In INIT, EXIT and some gc callbacks the fun in Pike_fp is set to FUNCTION_BUILTIN. there are some places in the code (e.g. ADT.List()->_get_iterator) where ->fun is used in INHERIT_FROM_INT et al, which segfaults (except with PIKE_DEBUG). I am not sure where to fix this. Should the *_FROM_INT macros check for FUNCTION_BUILTIN or is this better to be handled in the individual INIT/EXIT methods ? does anyone object to making ADT.Stack and ADT.Queue inherit ADT.List? arne

managing comport settings in linux
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 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)?

config error
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

I feel like I've run into this before. Any better way of solving it than a cleaning the source tree? ./config.status --recheck running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash -norc /bin/bash -norc /home/nilsson/pike/src/configure --no-create --no-recursion ./config.status: line 530: /bin/bash -norc: No such file or directory ./config.status: line 530: exec: /bin/bash -norc: cannot execute: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [config.status] Error 126 make[1]: *** [_make_in_builddir] Error 2 make: *** [compile] Error 2

autoconfig autoheader not found
by robert papadopoulos 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

In attempting to build Pike 8.0 I was met with a slew of errors. I used the make command as specified. the errors begin... cd src && ./run_autoconfig . ./run_autoconfig: 1: ./run_autoconfig: autoconf: not found ./run_autoconfig: 70: [: Illegal number: Warning: Using autoconf < 2.50. Don't do this if you want to make export. followed by a hundred or so lines of ./run_autoconfig: 139: ./run_autoconfig: autoheader: not found ./run_autoconfig: 143: ./run_autoconfig: Running autoconf in . with variations on the path. I was successfully able to build Pike 7.8 and play around with it using the same method. Can any body provide any advice to get me up and running? I'm running Linux Mint 17 Qiana 32 bit XFCE.

errors in makecheck pike 8.0
by robert papadopoulos 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

So, I had to do a little research on autoconf, but I'm back for more. I used version 2.58 and recieved the following errors/skippages. I'm assuming a lack of fortran is the reason for the skipped gimmicks, but I am stumped by the rest. Mr Welliver, thank you for your help in the last email for getting me one step further than I previously was. ## ------------- ## ## Test results. ## (from make check)... ## ------------- ## ERROR: 172 tests were run, 4 failed unexpectedly. Executables (autoheader, autoupdate...). 3: autom4te cache FAILED (tools.at:131) 4: autoconf --trace: user macros FAILED (tools.at:180) M4sugar. 13: [m4_warn] FAILED (m4sugar.at:59) 14: [m4_require: circular dependencies] FAILED (m4sugar.at:107) 40: Configuring subdirectories skipped (torture.at:562) 41: Deep Package skipped (torture.at:658) 66: GNU Fortran 77 skipped (fortran.at:33) 67: GNU Fortran skipped (fortran.at:61) Testing autoconf/fortran macros. 68: AC_F77_MAIN skipped (acfortran.at:12) 69: AC_F77_WRAPPERS skipped (acfortran.at:13) 70: AC_FC_MAIN skipped (acfortran.at:14) 71: AC_FC_WRAPPERS skipped (acfortran.at:15) 72: AC_PROG_F77_C_O skipped (acfortran.at:16) 73: AC_PROG_FC_C_O skipped (acfortran.at:17) Also, autoconf documentation tells me that it should be installing pike to my bin, but it has yet to make it there. I can of course run pike from its home directory...but where's the fun in that? Hope this email finds all who receive it well. Linux Mint XFCE 32 bit OS
