While you are looking at bugs Martin, please fix so that backspace works again in Hilfe in Pike 7.7 (instead of performing help).

Robert J. Budzynski triggerd the following error when loading a pmod file: Pike v7.7 release 34 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend) > object foo =Local.PiXPull(); Compiler Error: 1:Error looking up 'PiXPull' in module 'Local'. Compiler Exception: Cast "/local/users/mbaehr/tomoyo/pike_modules/PiXPull" to program failed in "/local/users/mbaehr/tomoyo/src/pike/Pike-7.7/lib/modules/Local.pmod". src/pike/Pike-7.7/lib/master.pike:1175: master()->cast_to_program("/local/users/mbaehr/tomoyo/pike_modules/PiXPull ","/local/users/mbaehr/tomoyo/src/pike/Pike-7.7/lib/modules/Local.pmod",UN DEFINED) src/pike/Pike-7.7/lib/modules/Local.pmod:34: Local->`[]("PiXPull") i found a fix, which i hope is right, commited to 7.7 however the error is also present in 7.6, so someone with the confidence to make changes to the stable tree, please backport it. greetings, martin.

puzzling mapping lookup problem
by H. William Welliver III 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

I'm having a problem with a mapping lookup on the C level. The index is a string, and even though I know that the mapping that contains the string I want, I get a null value. I did a little looking, and it appears that even though the lookup occurrs on two pike strings of the same length and same characters, they aren't the same strings. I'm assuming that this is the reason the search is failing, but I can't imagine why they're not the same string. I've confirmed that the source strings have the same character values, and it looks like the hash value is the same. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Bill (gdb) print /a classname $3 = 0x1849c20 (gdb) print *classname $4 = { refs = 3, flags = 4, size_shift = 0, len = 10, hval = 2550908153, next = 0x1128990, str = "N" } (gdb) print /a classname $5 = 0x184afd4 (gdb) print *classname $6 = { refs = 1, flags = 4, size_shift = 0, len = 10, hval = 2550908153, next = 0x1128990, str = "N" }

odd behavior -> add_function_constant()
by H. William Welliver III 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Well, perhaps not directly related to add_function_constant(). I've got some code that generates programs dynamically, and it uses add_function_constant() to add methods to the program. The first odd behavior is that these functions are callable without instantiating the object. That's actually a useful property for me, as I can emulate class methods, and access them at My.Class.somefunc(). The odd part is that if I have code that makes calls to these "class" methods, and I use low_cast_to_program() to get that code, the calls to My.Class.somefunc() get executed at compile time, but not when the code that uses them is called. Example: void somefunc() { object panel = Cocoa.NSOpenPanel.openPanel(); // this method is executed at compile time, and not when somefunc() is called. panel->run(); // this seems to work anyhow, so panel must be a valid object. } Can anyone explain this? I realize it's possible that I'm improperly using an unintended side effect, in which case I'd voice my support for class (Java-static) methods. Bill

Any chance of making this PMOD_EXPORT? I'd like to be able to call if from external code.

NUMBER ONE Success System
by Tommy Lee 23 Aug '07

http://www.noss123.com/ **5 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Financial Planner *1. How will I pay for your services?* As part of your financial planning agreement, the financial planner should clearly tell you in writing how she will be paid for the services to be provided. Planners can be paid in several ways: - A salary paid by the company for which the planner works. The planner's employer receives payment from you or others, either in fees or commissions, in order to pay the planner's salary. - Fees based on an hourly rate, a flat rate, or on a percentage of your assets and/or income. - Commissions paid by a third party from the products sold to you to carry out the financial planning recommendations. Commissions are usually a percentage of the amount you invest in a product. - A combination of fees and commissions whereby fees are charged for the amount of work done to develop financial planning recommendations and commissions are received from any products sold. In addition, some planners may offset some portion of the fees you pay if they receive commissions for carrying out their recommendations. *2. How much do you typically charge?* While the amount you pay the planner will depend on your particular needs, the financial planner should be able to provide you with an estimate of possible costs based on the work to be performed. Such costs should include the planner's hourly rates or flat fees or the percentage he would receive as commission on products you may purchase as part of the financial planning recommendations. *3. Could anyone besides me benefit from your recommendations?* Some business relationships or partnerships that a planner has could affect her professional judgment while working with you, inhibiting the planner from acting in your best interest. Ask the planner to provide you with a description of her conflicts of interest in writing. For example, financial planners who sell insurance policies, securities or mutual funds have a business relationship with the companies that provide these financial products. The planner may also have relationships or partnerships that should be disclosed to you, such as business she receives for referring you to an insurance agent, accountant or attorney for implementation of planning suggestions. *4. Have you ever been publicly disciplined for any unlawful or unethical actions in your professional career?* Several government and professional regulatory organizations, such as the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), your state insurance and securities departments, and CFP Board keep records on the disciplinary history of financial planners and advisers. Ask what organizations the planner is regulated by and contact these groups to conduct a background check. (See listing at right.) All financial planners who have registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities agencies, or who are associated with a company that is registered as an investment adviser, must be able to provide you with a disclosure form called Form ADV Part II or the state equivalent of that form. *5. Can I have it in writing?* Ask the planner to provide you with a written agreement that details the services that will be provided. Keep this document in your files for future reference.

catch in c code
by H. William Welliver III 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

what's the recommended approach for performing the equivalent of a catch around apply_svalue()? I've got some code that uses apply_svalue() that is called by code i don't have access to, and I don't want a thrown error to break out of that code (that I don't have access to). suggestions are welcome! bill

String quoting
by Johan Sundstr�m (Achtung Liebe!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

I've been thinking a bit about how to succinctly produce quoted strings of various formats from pike code, and sprintf("%O", s) used to be fairly close to the answer in 7.6, but used octal escapes with two " marks afterward, if the following character was a number, which got fixed in 7.7 via \uXXXX quotes instead. In 7.7, however, now any occurrence of \n gets turned into the five characters '\\', 'n', '"', '\n', '"', which again is just as bad as 7.6 was with octal numbers. I don't care much for the argument that %O is only intended for debug purposes, as long as there is no equally succinct way of producing the kind of quoted strings for log files, consumption of other languages and the like you typically want quoted strings for in the first place; the functionality ought to be somewhere (not necessarily sprintf %O, even though I would personally find that awfully convenient), and it should be terse. Opinions, ideas, wishes? Can Locale.Charset easily be abused to produce a codec that would work in 7.6 and 7.7 alike and turn \n and similar C shorthands into two-byte sequences and escape above-ASCII as \uXXXX?
