GTK and new libpng
by Martin Nilsson (�skblod) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

It appears that the new libpng that up2date installed on mahoro don't work too well with the GTK linking. Has anyone got a fix for this?

Pike with icc (Intel C++, Linux)
by David Hedbor ＠ Pike developers forum 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Aha, figured out the dynamic linking issue - don't link with -lc. I'm going to check in fixes to 7.5 once my test compile finishes. / David Hedbor Previous text: >2003-01-16 00:15: >Subject: Pike with icc (Intel C++, Linux) >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >Ok, a first compilation with icc is now finished.

xenofarm build failure
by David Hedbor ＠ Pike developers forum 15 Jan '03

15 Jan '03

Hmm. I'm getting xenofarm build failures on my x86 box: /home/neotron/src/xenofarm/client/pike-7.4/stellar.home.hedbor.org/buildtmp/Pike7.4-20030115-190328/src/interpret.c:1296: undefined reference to `QUICK_FIND_LFUN' interpret.o(.text+0x866b):/home/neotron/src/xenofarm/client/pike-7.4/stella…: undefined reference to `QUICK_FIND_LFUN' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [tpike-real] Error 1 What's up with that? Both pike 7.4 and 7.5 I should add. It seems like the blame goes to this: revision 1.284 date: 2003/01/15 19:03:26; author: mast; state: Exp; lines: +12 -10 Before invoking the trampoline magic, check properly that it's the `() lfun in the trampoline object that is to be called.

FreeType
by Marcus Comstedt (ACROSS) (Hail Ilpalazzo!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 15 Jan '03

15 Jan '03

I found the problem with FreeType on my machine. The pike module never selects any CharMap, and in this freetype version the default seems to be "no charmap", i.e. FT_Load_Char() will interpret the argument as a glyph number. This patch fixed the problem for me, could somebody who _already has a working FreeType module_ try it out and see if it breaks anything for them?

GC improvement
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 13 Jan '03

13 Jan '03

I've developed the gc strategy a bit so that it also takes the time spent in the gc into account. There is now a low and a high garbage level. The gc tries to keep the low one as long as the total cpu time spent in the gc doesn't get too large, then it resorts to the higher one. I thought that could be useful since the gc otherwise can take a lot of time in a process that both has many nongarbage objects and generates a lot of garbage. I've also added a function Pike.gc_parameters to make it possible to tune these parameters. The current defaults are: Low garbage ratio: 20% of all allocated things is garbage. GC time ratio: 5% cpu time spent in the gc. High garbage ratio: 50% of all allocated things is garbage. These are set on feeling only and hardly tested at all. It's therefore very appreciated if someone could do some tuning with a big and busy pike process. (The function Debug.gc_status is useful to get info about the gc performance.)

Making strings
by Martin Nilsson (�skblod) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 12 Jan '03

There appears to be several ways to create constant strings. MAKE_CONSTANT_SHARED_STRING make_shared_binary_string make_shared_string What are the practical differences?

Trace levels and the garbage collector
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 11 Jan '03

11 Jan '03

I've often missed turning on tracing on the gc only. As it is now, one can get tracing from the gc on trace level 1, but that at the same time turns on tracing on a multitude of other things which makes it mostly useless. This can either be fixed by adding a separate trace flag for the gc and some accompanying gc_trace() function, or by increasing all the current trace levels to make room for a new trace level 1 that only traces the gc. I think it'd be more consistent with the current trace system to do the latter. What do you say?

array.c
by Peta, jo det �r jag ＠ Pike developers forum 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Since I don't have great experience with the pike code i though I better ask before I change. I've been working a bit with array.c and in some places does the code set the size of the array to 0 before it call free_array. Line 326 in the function array_insert is an example. Shold it do that? I believe this cause problems when I have an array with more than one reference.

We should really work on getting a Pike entry here. It'll require quite a lot of work though. http://pleac.sourceforge.net/
