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)?

managing comport settings in linux

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: Client certificate support in Sql.pgsql?
by william＠welliver.org 12 Jan '24

Hi Chris, the SSL module supports passing client certificates, and the Sql.pgsql module uses SSL.File, however it doesn't directly provide any hooks for configuring the client certs. I think it would be easy to add, basically you just need a way to pass a properly configured SSL.Context object to the SSL.File object in (I think the relevant place is in Sql.pgsql_util.pmod). Once that's done, the handshake process should see the client certs and then pass them when requested by the server. As a side note, I think anything that offers TLS support should provide a means for passing a Context, as that's where all of the configuration is done. I don't think that is currently the case, and might be a worthwhile side project. I'm a bit swamped here, otherwise I'd offer some tested code, but I think it be fairly straightforward to add a constructor variant to Sql.pgsql and the associated wiring below it. If you've got specific questions, I'm happy to try to answer them (I wrote the initial client cert support many, many years ago).
