pgsql performance
by Stephen R. van den Berg 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

I've been working on a PGsql helper class to speed up the hotspots in my new pgsql PostgreSQL driver; so far it works rather well, and the performance of the new driver has leaped from 10% of the libpq module, to about 45% of the libpq module. I won't be including the module until I have it at about 100% (or greater) of the libpq speed though. -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg. Expect the unexpected!

Accessing variables in a class object from within a CMOD?
by Stephen R. van den Berg 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Suppose I have a cmod function: PIKEFUN array decodedatarow(int msglen, object portal) { ... } Which is called as: class portal { int a; int b; }; portal abc=portal(); decodedatarow(12, abc); How would I access the svalues of the members a and b from within the cmod function decodedatarow() ? -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg.

readline bug
by Martin Bähr 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

hi, after being annoyed by this for a while i finally managed to track down the following issue: try: void main() { object rl=Stdio.Readline(); rl->write("first"); rl->write("second"); rl->newline(); } notice how the second clobbers the first? this is particularely annoying in hilfe where i see it often. the problem is in the readline write function which first resets the cursor to the beginning of the line. this can be fixed in two possible ways: force a newline if the cursor is not in column 0, or don't reset the cursor. i prefer adding the newline. the one thing i am concerned about is that someone might expect this behaviour by now and a compatibility thing is needed. thoughts? any other reason not to fix this now? patches attached. greetings, martin.

Someone got a simple test program for the GTK2 glue? I'd like to test that it really works on Windows.

Release preparations
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

There is to much churn in 7.7 to get a release out any time soon if it doesn't stop. I've been tolerating the noice in Postgres because the person making the changes is the only person I know that uses Postgres, but it's time to freeze things now. What's more I'll start backing out changes that are not discussed, documented and added to the ChangeLog. Especially when fiddling with core APIs. Specificly I'm considering backing out this right now: http://pike.ida.liu.se/development/cvs/diff.xml?module=Pike&file=7.7/lib/mo… Discuss.

LMTP fix: 7.7 or 7.9?
by Bill Welliver 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

I found a semantic error in the LMTP module: the various domain checks assume one or more "handled domains" that consist of exactly 2 host components. Therefore, if you try to create an LMTP server object with a domain of "foo.bar.com", checks will fail due to the code ignoring the "foo" component. Is a fix for this something that is allowable for 7.7, or shall it be held for 7.9? Bill

Protocols.HTTP.http_encode_string
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

I was just notified (crunch [bug 4560]) that Protocols.HTTP.http_encode_string doesn't work right for chars wider than 7 bits: According to RFCs 3986 (URI) and 3987 (IRI), chars should be utf-8 encoded followed by the http %XX encoding. http_encode_string instead leaves 8-bit chars unencoded and uses that strange %uXXXX encoding for wider chars, a form that has no grounds in standards at all as far as I've been able to tell. (Must say I'm curious where it comes from. A comment says it's some kind of Safari encoding. My limited googling suggests that Safari at least nowadays uses the RFC method.) The corresponding functions in Roxen have been corrected since 4.0. Encoding/decoding functions are always hazardous to change, so it's perhaps not an ideal time to do it right now. Otoh it would be rather nice to have correctly working functions in Pike instead of only in Roxen. So what do you say about changing it now?

getting warnings about unused public variables or functions
by Martin Bähr 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

hi, while refactoring some code today, i noticed how helpful the warnings about unused private variables or functions are. but it would have been even more helpful to optionally also have warnings (notices) about any unused items to be ableto find them easier and then decide if they are really needed. greetings, martin.

7.7/7.8 bugfix: Protocols.DNS_SD
by Bill Welliver 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

I commited a tiny bug fix for DNS_SD: the port argument is specified in network byte-order. There was no conversion in place, which means that folks using intel processors would get crazy registration addresses. Bill

Latest yellow dots
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Just a note regarding these: /home/mast/Pike/no-changes-7.7/src/testsuite.in:11: Test 9 (shift 0) (CRNL) failed (expected eval error). Got 0 1: mixed a() { (string) ({0x80000000}); } 2: /home/mast/Pike/no-changes-7.7/src/testsuite.in:13: Test 11 (shift 2) (CRNL) failed (expected eval error). Got 0 1: mixed a() { (string) ({-0x80000001}); } 2: The problem here is not the casting or that it doesn't throw an error as it should, but rather that the optimizer or pike_test.pike or something makes the error disappear.
