Protocols.HTTP.Server.SSLPort()->create([...], void|int share)
by ceder (-) Per Cederqvist ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

I'm trying to figure out what the "void|int share" argument of Protocols.HTTP.Server.SSLPort()->create() really does. The documentation is less than helpful: > Parameter share > > If true, the connection will be shared if possible. See > Stdio.Port.bind for more information (Source: <http://pike.lysator.liu.se/generated/manual/modref/ex/predef_3A_3A/Protocol…>) But the Stdio.Port.bind documentation does not mention "share". Looking at the source code I see that my suspicion is correct: "share" corresponds to the "reuse_port" argument. I think "share" should be renamed "reuse_port", so that it is easier to read the documentation. Any objections? If not, I'll commit such a change to the 8.1 branch tomorrow.

Fun with strict_types
by Tobias S. Josefowitz 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hi all, I've had a little run in with strict types, and I fail to convince myself that certain aspects of its behaviour have merit. Consider $ cat test.pike #pragma strict_types void main() { array(array(mixed|string)) to_be_mapping = ({ ({ "foo", 1 }), ({ "bar", "xxx" }), }); mapping(string:int|string) m; #ifdef WORKAROUND mixed mix(mixed m) { return m; } #else # define mix(X) (X) #endif m = [mapping(string:int|string)]mix(mkmapping(to_be_mapping[*][0], to_be_mapping[*][1])); } $ ~/local/bin/pike test.pike test.pike:17: Warning: An expression of type mapping(mixed:int | string) cannot be assigned to a variable of type mapping(string:int | string). $ ~/local/bin/pike -DWORKAROUND test.pike (no output indeed) Am I correct to assume that silently - somehow - not accepting my softcast in at least some regards on something like mapping(mixed:int|string) while accepting it on mixed might not be intended behaviour?

strftime() and strptime() indirect via System.TM?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

While adding strftime() and strptime() methods to Val.Timestamp and Val.Date, I couldn't help but noticing that in order to access both libc functions I need to go through System.TM. Wouldn't it be preferable to create direct native builtins for those two functions instead? (to put them in the same boat with mktime/gmtime etc?) -- Stephen.

AmigaOS... and Pike 8.1
by Stephen R. van den Berg 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

I just ripped out AmigaOS from Pike 8.1. Martin warned me (after I'd already ripped it out, of course) that maybe Marcus is still using it? So, is anyone still using AmigaOS in Pike 8.1? If yes, I'll revert the patch. If no, or if we stop supporting at 8.1, I'll leave it as is. -- Stephen.

GTK/GDK on OSX
by H William Wellliver III 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

I’m running into some build problems on OSX. It seems that the GTK module assumes that if a system is NT that gdkwin.h is used and otherwise gdkx.h is used. Unfortunately, it seems that on some builds of GTK/GDK for OS X, neither of those is correct and that gdkquartz.h should be used. I’m guessing that some configure tests are needed to determine which of the 3 files is actually present. However a quick look at configure.in leaves me unsure how best to include that. Anyone with more expertise in the GTK module’s inner workings care to weigh in? Bill
