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.

Pike 8.0.182 release candidate
by Peter Bortas 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Release candidate for testing: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.182/Pike-v8.0.182.tar.gz Changes since Pike 8.0.164 (current stable) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New features ------------ o gc It is now possible to run the gc in a quick mode to just cut weak references from a specific container. Bug fixes --------- o ADT.Heap The Element class lost track of its position when remove() was used. o Filesystem.Monitor * Improved thread safety and robustness * Inotify-related fixes. o pgsql The new driver in 8.0 suffered from filedescriptor leaks if the database connections were not explicitly close()d. Fixes have been applied which eliminate the filedescriptor leak and also ensure that the filedescriptors are closed the instant the object loses all references. o programs The runtime now attempts to wait for any compilations in progress to complete before complaining about cloning of unfinished programs. This fixes a race-condition when the same program is compiled from different threads. o Runtime Fixed multiple potential NULL-dereferences. o SSL.File Fixed breaking of circular references when the peer terminates the connection. o Standards.URI Support the userinfo field containing '@'. o Stdio.File The second argument to set_buffer() should now work. o Testsuite Updated the SHA3_* testvectors to FIPS 202. Building and installing ----------------------- o Multiple fixes for building on Solaris 11.

IA64

Removing silencing of warnings is fine, but I don't want IA64 specific runtime-support to be removed if there is any.

Change of release method
by Peter Bortas 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi all, I'm going to change the release method a bit. First change being that there are releases again. Just posted 8.0 release to the user list. The second change is that I will make a stable release _attempt_ per month on the first Tuesday of the month. So the next potential packaging of a release will be on March 1st. Regards, -- Peter Bortas

Pike 8.0.162 release candidate
by Peter Bortas 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

This will be the full release unless it kills kittens. You have until Tuesday to pull the breaks. Pike 8.0.162 release candidate for your testing pleasures: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.162/Pike-v8.0.162.tar.gz Windows build: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.162/Pike-v8.0.162-win32-oldli bs.msi I did some work on building newer support libs for Windows, but that ended up being 6 hours of mostly frustration. So Nettle, GMP, GTK and Freetype are all still versions from 2008 or so. That build will probably not be promoted to a real release. Use it at your own risk. I'll have another go at that in the coming weeks. Changes in this mail are not added to CHANGES.TXT. Some of them probably should be. Changes since 8.0.146 (New Year release) -------------------------------------------------------------- * Fixed internal compiler error with implicit lambdas. * Allow disabling of wrapping of describe_backtrace output. The wrapping can add lots of spaces to the end of lines to pad them, resulting in enormous backtrace files in some circumstances. * Make the Pike SSL code work with APNS push server which uses client certificates. * Added the Markdown module and the standalone pike_to_html.pike from 8.1. * Web.Api/OAuth: Added the posibility to define the HTTP request timeout in async queries. * Protocols.HTTP: do_async_method() no longer resets the timeouts. Setting the query timeouts to something else than the default (120 seconds) should now work again. * Documentation [HTTPAccept]: Fix all references to HTTPLoop. HTTPLoop installs itself as HTTPAccept, so fix the documentation to reflect this. * Build: make precompile dependencies optional Fix builing of external modules * Updated to tzdata2016a. Regards, -- Peter Bortas
