shared

Since the current usage of "static" is moving to "protected" and the normal 'static' functionality is going to the modifier "shared", would it be a good idea to reserve "shared" as a keyword before the imminent release of Pike 7.8?

IMAP Client module
by Marc Dirix 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hello, I'm currently thinking of implementing a IMAP Client module in pike, which will further in line be integrated in a roxen module. I have looked through several client module implementations, and also into Protocols.Line.imap_style. I'm now trying to decide between whether it is smart to use callbacks internally or not. I've come up with a short list of pros and cons, and was wondering some of the more hardened developers could shed some light on the issue. Pro's * The IMAP protocol per default sends out-of-band data (meaning data which was not requested by the client). This data needs to be handled. In a webenvirenmont the actual client can not easily be notified, but the client module needs to have this ready at least on a reload. Using callbacks the data can be handled module internally. * The module could use the new IMAP IDLE support which updates the selected mailbox out-of-band so reducing the need for polling. Con's * The client needs to at least start the callback backend. If it doesn't the module will never work * Synchronisation. If a client wants to select a different mailbox, the pagereload needs to block until the server reports back with mailbox data. Thanks for considering this, Marc

variables as function aliases?
by Martin Baehr 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

hi, i am curious about this change: commit 01b70e932612e6f706a2a2092832475083f4e6c4 Author: Martin Stjernholm <mast(a)lysator.liu.se> Date: Tue Nov 4 15:49:22 2008 +0000 Ported fix from 7.4: Don't use variables to create function aliases. (They don't cause garbage in 7.6 and later, but they're still slow and makes the objects unnecessarily large.) what makes variables as function aliases slow? i find it surprising that mixed mywrite(mixed ... args) { return write(@args); } should be faster than mywrite = write; not to forget that in this example i also loose type checking unless i copy the interface exactly. i find the wrapper also less readable (because i have to check that the wrapper is really just an alias and does not change the function greetings, martin.

range operator
by Hedda (Lite ��) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I pretty often want to take a range out of a string that starts at a keyword and ends with another. Typically when reading a config-file or mining data out of an HTML-page. Like this: > "foo bar gazonk"["o".."gaz"]; Result: "oo bar gaz" > "foo bar gazonk"["o".."o"]; Result: "o" > "foo bar gazonk"["gurka".."o"]; Result: "" > "foo bar gazonk"["o".."gurka"]; Result: "oo bar gazonk" > "gazonk foo bar gazonk"["o".."gaz"]; Result: "onk foo bar gaz" (Excuse me if I've missed if this suggestion is already made.)

You might want to try the encoding UTF-EBCDIC, which I believe is something like that. It's new to Pike 7.8 though.
