Re: string_to_utf8() behavior on non-wide strings

And regexps are usually far slower than search. Not that I doubt the conversion step takes time.

call by reference
by Peter Lundqvist (disjunkt) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

I was under the impression that call by reference was default in pike, but it seems I've lived a lie. Is there a way to write void foo(string s) { s=s+"!"; } void main() { string a = "Hello World"; foo(a); write(a+"\n"); } without returning a string from foo?

call by reference

As response to your question, you'll have to do something like this: void foo(array(string) s) { s[0]=s[0]+"!"; } void main() { array(string) a = ({"Hello World"}); foo(a); write(a[0]+"\n"); } I've thought about adding pointers to the language - see lyskom message 10034173 and comment tree. Still think it's a cool idea, but I don't know when I'll get around actually doing something about it. / Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS Previous text: >12527661 2004-11-03 20:00 /1 lines/ Peter Lundqvist (disjunkt) >Recipients: Pike (-) help >Comment to 12527655 >Subject: call by reference >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >I got that ;) > >(12527661) /Peter Lundqvist (disjunkt) /---------------------------- >

SQLite module (7.7) notes
by Alexander Demenshin 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hi, Just tried this beast (FYI: compiles and works in 7.6 as well), however there are some (minor) issues: - There is no query() method, which is inconvenient for simple statements like INSERT or DELETE - statement won't be executed with big_query() unless fetch_row() in result is called, which, in turn, makes code a bit ugly. - When sleeping (in case of SQLITE_BUSY) - may be it makes sense to enable threads? Even 100 ms is quite a lot. Optionally, it might be useful to allow dynamic configuration of this interval. - Again when sleeping - there is no limit for sleeping, and (in theory) it could happen that we will sleep forever (buggy external lock or so). Regards, /Al

Install broken?

Are the installation scripts broken in 7.7-cvs right now? Seems to me that Grubbas checkins broke it, but I'm not sure and I don't have time to investigate right now.

Hi, Is there any kind of BTS for Pike development? If "no", any plans to use one? Regards, /Al

FTP Passive is NOT working on pike ftp server. This is not a problem about my ftp client firewall or whatever. To get pike I must not have a firewall and use Active FTP... whatever Pike.Ida's ftp server is saying the packet never come to the internet. > is there a way to set up alternatives to access the server? > ssh (for those of us who have writeaccess to the repository already) > rsync server? > rsync or ftp upload to the caudium mirror (the caudium mirror runs an > rsync server i believe) It does for slaves mirrors (eg ftp.us.caudium.net). I have temporaly fixed that by : 02500 29 1392 allow tcp from 130.236.182.30 to me setup in my ipfw configuration, but I *don't* like to have a naked machine on the net trusted a server I don't adminstrate... How to fix that : - make passive FTP working (simple just configure a range of passive ports in IDA's firewall) or - make ftp archive from IDA that can be accessible by rsync...

TinyCC support
by Marcus Agehall (PacketFront) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

(Perhaps this should be sent to the TinyCC devel list, but I'll start here..) I tried compiling pike using the latest TinyCC. It fails when compiling the image-module due to some preprocessing problems: In file included from /home/marage/src/Pike/7.7/src/modules/Image/image_module.c:23: /home/marage/src/Pike/7.7/src/modules/Image/encodings/encodings.h:36: warning: pasting "img_ilbm" and "##" does not give a valid preprocessing token This seems a bit strange to me. I've looked at the ANSI-standard for CPP and I cannot see how this use of ## is in violation of the standard. Can someone here verify that the Pike-code is valid and that I should go bug the TinyCC developer instead?

Unicode escapes
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

I'm thinking of adding an escape mechanism to be able to format wide strings a bit better. Right now there's the choice between sprintf %s which just let wide chars straight through, and %O which quotes them along with all other control chars. Neither is really good if you want to e.g. print a string to stdout which possibly can contain some wide chars. For that I'd like to add a %S that only quotes wide chars in some way. The question is what quoting method to use. Java and many other languages has one with "\u" which always is followed by four hexadecimal digits. (Java doesn't say anything about chars wider than 16 bits, but I guess it's "\U" followed by eight hexadecimal digits, as in some generic Unicode technical papers.) Java also specifies a way to keep it unambiguous: If a string already contains a sequence like "\u4711" it's quoted by inserting another "u", i.e. it becomes "\uu4711". The \u and \U scheme is better than the \4711 and \x9c9 escapes that Pike uses in strings since there's no ambiguity where the escape sequence ends (%O uses tricks like "\4322""33" to cope with them but that doesn't work very well in strings without quotes around them). The ad-hoc quoting scheme "<nnnnn>" used in some places in describe_svalue would also be replaced by this for consistency.
