Escapes
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 09 May '14

09 May '14

So "\u1234" creates a string with one character '\u1234' in it. "\uu1234" however creates the string "\\u1234" with 6 characters in it. The "\uu" sequence gets turned into "\\u". This is intentional, as the code in the lexer says /* A double-u quoted escape. Convert the "\u" or "\U" to "\", * thereby shaving off a "u" or "U" from the escape * sequence. */ Where does this weird syntax come from? Why is it desired?

Concurrency in Pike
by Danesh Daroui 04 May '14

04 May '14

Dear Pike users and developers, I wanted to ask whether there is any library implemented for Pike to support concurrency or if it planed to do so as an embedded feature or added package? I think the language has a great potential to be widely used if such enhancements are done. I am reading the book "Pike: an Introduction" and have not seen any concept about concurrency yet (I am not done with the book yet). Thanks, Danesh -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

new 7.8 stable feedback?
by Bill Welliver 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hello all, It's been a little over a week since I posted a new alpha version, 7.8.852. Does anyone have any further feedback that needs to be addressed before I announce it as a beta version on the primary list? If I don't hear anything in the next day or so, I'll move it to the beta folder and make an announcement. Thanks! Bill

Image.FreeType multi face support
by H. William Welliver III 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

I’ve attached a diff that adds a new feature to Image.FreeType. I’ve not committed this because some additional work will be required to properly integrate this feature with Image.Fonts. As it stands, the diff should not break compatibility, but it seems possible that proper support in Image.Fonts *might*. Background: Certain font types supported by FreeType can contain multiple faces (be they varying weights or altogether unrelated typefaces) within a single font file. Currently, Image.FreeType and Image.Fonts will simply load the first face in the font file. I’ve noticed that, at least on MacOS X, the first font isn’t always a good default; for example, sometimes it might be a Bold-Oblique variant or whatever. It’d be nice to be able to access the others. The diff makes 2 changes: first, it adds a new field, “face_count”, to the results of Font->info(). The second change is the addition of a second, optional parameter to Font->create(), which allows the face number within the font to be specified. As I mentioned, it’d be nice to include support for this within Image.Fonts, though I’m not sure the best way to handle that. Any suggestions to that end would be welcome. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome. If there are no objections after a time, I’ll commit this change to 8.0. Bill

compiling the source (VPATH err)
by Danesh Daroui 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Dear all, I have downloaded and compiled successfully the source code of Pike-v7.8.700. Now when I clone the git repository of Pike, the make complains about VPATH is not supported by make. I have modified VPATH variable to point to the where the source code (compiled previously) resides, but the problem is still there. Any tip for that? Regards, D.

Bignum fixes backported in 7.8
by Jonas Walld�n ＠ Pike developers forum 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

I've merged most of the bignum fixes from 8.0 into 7.8 since we need to build with clang on OS X. I've excluded changes that added new API or that removed the AUTO_BIGNUM define and everything passes verbose_verify on my local machine. If you see any unintended side-effects please let me know.

bash/dash
by Arne Goedeke 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

My gentoo /bin/sh (which is bash) unlike dash generates a broken whitespace.h file from the current bin/getwhitespace.sh . I dont know which of the two is wrong here, but should we simply use numeric values instead of character escapes? arne

segfault: foo[bar]();
by Martin Bähr 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

any existing identifier indexed with a non-existing one and then called as a function causes a segfault: mixed foo; foo[bar](); String[int2hex](); fails in 7.8 and 8.0 but not in 7.6 greetings, martin.
