Time for a release
by Peter Bortas 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

It's the first Tuesday in the month, and thus release time. The last couple of months the changes in stable did not motivate fixing missing CHANGES myself and pushing a release. And there are some checkins without changes, which violates stable policy. So review your stuff and check in CHANGES. -- Peter Bortas

Protocols.HTTP.Query dns cache
by H. William Welliver III 03 Jun '17

03 Jun '17

I was troubleshooting a problem earlier today and noticed that: a) Synchronous calls in Protocols.HTTP.Query don’t populate the DNS cache and b) The doesn’t seem to be any TTL for entries in either the cache Query or the one in Session. I didn’t remedy a) because I think doing so without having a way to expire records would cause undesirable behavior for hostnames (especially) with multiple addresses. Any cache probably ought to at least respect the TTL on the DNS record as an upper bound. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Bill

GDK/GTK on OSX
by H. William Welliver III 30 May '17

30 May '17

Note: I actually sent this email to Chris a month ago but it didn’t go to the list, so I’m sending it there so that there’s a record of this conversation. Hi Chris, I’ve been quietly working on this for a few weeks now, and have got the various permutations working on OS X. Basically, there are 2 paths for GTK on OS X (now called macOS): X11, which is the classic approach, and Quartz, which is native, but newer and a little less fully baked. Homebrew, a very popular package manager on OS X, switched to Quartz mode at some point, which broke the pike builds. This sort of dual mode situation affected GL and GLUT as well. So, I’ve arrived at a solution where we prefer the native Quartz versions but will fall back if they’re not present (such as if you happen to be running the Darwin open source OS that macOS is based on. I think that’s the most reasonable approach because every macOS install will have Quartz, GL and GLUT (and using GTK doesn’t require you to install X11/XQuartz. I’ve merged your change into 8.1 and 8.0 after testing, along with a bunch of other fixes to get things working. I have not been able to verify that the changes work properly on Windows because I am having trouble getting the windows build to compile successfully. Likely because I foolishly tried to upgrade to VC2015 from VS2008, which was working properly. There are also a number of problems with other bits of the 8.1 codebase that cause problems on Windows, though I see some commits lately that seem to suggest that may be a temporary thing. Anyway, that’s the current update. And to answer your question about being able to run gtk apps on macOS without having to install X11, here’s a little taste : object x; int main() { GTK2.setup_gtk(); x = GTK2Support.Alert("Hello world!"); return -1; } Yields: http://bill.welliver.org/dist/pike/gtkmacdialog.png <http://bill.welliver.org/dist/pike/gtkmacdialog.png> Enjoy!

Bad function identifier on 8.1
by Stephen R. van den Berg 29 May '17

29 May '17

While trying to use Pike 8.1, I consistently get the following on stderr whenever I run pike: /usr/local/pike/8.1.6/lib/modules/Crypto.pmod/Random.pmod.o:-: Warning: Decode failed: Error while decoding program(/usr/local/pike/8.1.6/lib/modules/Crypto.pmod/Random.pmod:23): Bad function identifier offset for random_string:function(int(0..2147483647) : string(8bit)): 3 != 0 It's not immediately obvious to me how to fix this. Anyone? Or am I the only one seeing this? -- Stephen.

Faster calls (again)
by Arne Goedeke 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Ok, not sure yet if this is going anywhere this time, but I decided to attempt a second time to refactor the current function call code into something which is more readable, more flexible and hopefully faster (at some point). The branch is called 'arne/faster_calls_again'. The API is similar to what the previous version did, the main difference being that it allocates pike frames only if needed (not for efuns, casts, apply_array, etc). The changes in that branch start by first removing code which was duplicated at some point to increase performance for certain types of calls. I then added a series of new functions to initialize, execute and deinitialize a callsite. Then, I started to use it in some of the existing function call APIs and also implemented that optimized version of f_map. The code is probably broken in interesting ways, I have not tested it very well, yet. It compiles and installs. Otherwise on my list right now: * cleanup * reduce API granularity somewhat * re-add tracing and dtrace code (could all be in one place now) * optimize automap * try to optimize apply_array (e.g. when calling the same function in different instances of the same class) * make tail recursion not allocate a new frame, instead just re-use the current one Feedback and help welcome, Arne

need access to upload pike binary
by H William Wellliver III 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Hi, I've finally had some time to get a proper build environment for MacOS X and have a Pike binary built that contains no external dependencies. However, I don't seem to have access any more to upload the file as I used to (previously I had ssh access to what was called at one time pelix). Can someone contact me privately to let me know how best to get the file uploaded? Thanks in advance! Bill

Re: Proposal: Create Stdio.Port from systemd-provided socket
by Chris Angelico 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

On Sun, Feb 12, 2017 at 6:40 PM, Mirar @ Pike developers forum <10353(a)lyskom.lysator.liu.se> wrote: > I'm guessing that the original was "stdin", then someone had the same > problem you had and expanded the API without breaking backwards. Entirely possible. I've deleted the branch for this feature, since it's not needed (although at some point, I might make a pure-Pike helper function that does the proper verification; my app currently short-cuts things a bit, since it never needs more than one socket), and made a small docs tweak to link "stdin" mode with listen_fd. Thanks for the info, Mirar and Arne! This is where this mailing list is awesome :) ChrisA

Beta 8.0.398
by Peter Bortas 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

There will be another build before next Tuesday, so this will never leave beta. But it had to be built to test a fix for a crash in System.TM on Windows yesterday, so I might as well share it: Pike 8.0.398 beta: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.398/Pike-v8.0.398.tar.gz Other builds: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.398/Pike-v8.0.398-Darwin-15.4… https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.398/Pike-v8.0.398-win32-oldli… -- Peter Bortas
