Re: GTK2.Object()->destroy() checking for no args?

Do you mean destroy? It got renamed in the big _destruct rename, and it was because I'd been using it that I started poking around and finding this. But I'm quite okay with the API being "destruct(obj)" rather than "obj->destroy()", as long as it works reliably. ChrisA

>2038 mktime tests
by Stephen R. van den Berg 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

To avoid failed tests on systems with a 32-bit time_t, you should either make the tests for time_t values >=2^31 conditional on the width of time_t, or they should be changed to avoid testing beyond 2038? -- Stephen.

Calendar does not seem to use mktime()/localtime()/gmtime()
by Stephen R. van den Berg 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Is there a reason for that? Because it seems that the functionality of mktime/localtime/gmtime is being reimplemented/duplicated alongside the daylight-saving tables which should be identical as provided in libc? -- Stephen.

Sql.Date Sql.Time Sql.TimeTZ Sql.Timestamp Sql.Interval
by Stephen R. van den Berg 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

In Pike 8.1 I checked in a few new native Sql types. This allows for faster, easier and lossless manipulation of dates/times/intervals. It also facilitates binary transfer to and from the database. I currently implemented all this for the pgsql driver. The new code still needs documentation. Reviews welcome. -- Stephen.

Concurrent improvements and enhanced depend() interface to 8.0?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Has anyone, other than myself, actually tested the 8.1 Concurrent (since my code overhaul and the enhanced depend() interface)? I have some applications that use it rather intensely, and I added a lot of testsuite entries. I have not used the enhanced depend() interface (in my own applications), except when writing the various testsuite entries. Since the new & improved Concurrent code has some critical bugfixes: - Removes all restrictions on callbacks not being allowed to be recursive (and thus eliminates a possible cause for deadlocks). - Reduce mutex contention. - Change some operations from O(n^2) to O(n). - Promises that Promises work without a running backend (pun intended :-). I'd like to port the fixes over; but that also implies that the enhanced depend() interface is introduced to 8.0. Did you already try to use the enhanced depend() interface, Martin? -- Stephen.

Reproducing the elusive xenofarm error?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

After my most recent commit, xenofarm shows an error. Trying to reproduce that using a simple "make" seems to be difficult. Any clues? -- Stephen.

Variant warnings, should I fix the code, or is the warning incorrect?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Since the latest variant changes in 8.1, I see this: Erroneous warning: test-install/pike/8.1.11/lib/modules/Web.pmod/SocketIO.pmod:205: Variant type mismatch in second pass for register. Erroneous warning: test-install/pike/8.1.11/lib/modules/Web.pmod/SocketIO.pmod:205: Expected: function(string, string, void | function({ Client = object }, function(mixed ... : void), string, string, mixed ... : void) : void).

Is that something that needs to be fixed in SocketIO.pmod? What does this warning even complain about? -- Stephen.

Concurrent flat_map() vs. map_with(), and depend()?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Any comments on the map_with() I added to be preferred over flat_map() because it more consistently fits into the naming scheme with transform_with() and recover_with() ? How about the depend() functionality; does it fulfil all expectations? Anything else missing in Concurrent/Promises/Futures? If not, we might push it over to 8.0 together with the testsuite, since it does fix a few serious flaws in the current 8.0 implementation (the new fixes eliminate a few deadlock cases). -- Stephen.
