Regexp.PCRE compilation failures
by Alexander Demenshin 08 Oct '03

08 Oct '03

Hi, There are several undefined symbols on my system (node name "hugo" on Pikefarm), I guess because I've PCRE v3.9 installed (a bit outdated, but included in recent SuSe Linux). Any chances to fix that? :) I would suggest to surround #ifdefs around specific options, not only around pcre_fullinfo(). Regards, /Al

Some tasks from the conference
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 07 Oct '03

07 Oct '03

Here's a list I made of various things to do that came up at the conference. It's not complete; especially it doesn't include the stuff that Martin Baehr kept track of on the whiteboards. Perhaps he can complete it with those things? These items are both large and small. I've marked the ones I feel more personally responsible for, as well as those I think ought to be fixed before a 7.6 release. Important enough to be finished before 7.6: o Clean up the module make system. o Document the module make system. o Add local_install target to the module make system, to make it simple for users who download standalone modules to get them installed in their user account instead of in the system pike installation. Other important things: o Document the C API more. (mast, hopefully with help from others with the knowledge..) o Describe memory handling in the manuals, i.e. refcounting vs gc:ing, various kinds of leaks and ways to combat them, etc. (mast) o Transfer the pike-community.org contents to a Steam server c/o Martin Baehr. Bug fixes: o Fix the memory overwrite bug in the "uses" array in peep.c that David Gourdelier has discovered. (More info needed.) o Fix the bug which caused a fatal in the gc for David Gourdelier. (More info needed.) (mast) Not that important: o Implement a variant of _locate_references that is more suited for normal pike programmers. For instance, it should return a data structure that describes the references to an object instead of dumping it all on stderr. (mast) o Add a function or option to create_process that conveniently starts a pike interpreter with another pike script. o Add a function to change the argv array of the pike process. o Dump pike backtraces on SIGSEGV. o Finish the implementation of the "variant" feature (i.e. runtime dispatch on function argument types). o Fix odd indentation of the output from %O for e.g. arrays. (mast) o Valgrind some more. (Apparently done by Nilsson now.) o Fix LXR view of the pike source on the pike site. o Implement this_function().

throw or return
by Martin Nilsson (saturator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 06 Oct '03

Looking through the functions in the System module it looks like a big mix between throwing an exception on error or returning the errno from the function. Is there a good reason for this mix? Is this something that should be fixed (other than more documentation on which functions behaves how)?

valgrind
by Martin Nilsson (saturator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

After the last few days activities it is now possible to run the entire Pike testsuite in valgrind without any errors in Pike (though the gdbm lib has some problems).

Of course, it's not a matter of effort but a matter of not hiding errors if those statements were left out.

gtk
by Mirar ＠ Pike developers forum 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

My GTK module happily compiles, making lots of fun classes and stuff. > sizeof(indices(___GTK)); Result: 943 But it contains no functions: > ___GTK.parse_rc; Compiler Error: 1:Index 'parse_rc' not present in module '___GTK'. > ___GTK.setup_gtk; Compiler Error: 1:Index 'setup_gtk' not present in module '___GTK'. Constants and classes are fine, though... This makes GTK not including ___GTK and hard to use in general. It seems to be because GTK.so has become a program instead of a module, > ___GTK()->parse_rc; (2) Result: object_program(___GTK)()->parse_rc Any hints on something do to about it? Pike 7.5 from CVS now. I need GTK *right now*.

Also, remove the catching of signals in the signal handler, so the next similar signal will kill Pike. Just in case it hangs when making the backtrace...

"pike" errors are of course also subdivided into e.g. "compiler", "cpp", "math", etc.
