neilt: i feel sorry for you yes please look at the code in src/classdef thank you, but many people have it worse than me and I dont feel bad about my own problems and tell me whether it is an improvement against the existing one ok with regard to methods do we need oaf do we need gmodule methods i don't think oaf and actually i don't think gmodule i thought i would strip the unneeded stuff out i believe methods should be written in scripting languages not in compiled languages you can strip oaf anyway think it doesn't even compile imho you should leave gmodule in for the time being so i will keep the python mehtods only gmodule is C methods right yes it's the only thing _really_ working now so until python works we should keep gmodule as a reference so to speak that could be ebenficial for really fast needs ok i will restructure existing gmodule and python ok so we can figure out any minor improvements needed before CW checks in the rewrite good the most important minor improvement would be make it work :) (for python methods) i will attempt to make it so you can have both python and gmodule working at the same time what does not work with python? methods module namespace is broken read: was never implemented so as soon as a class is in a module you can't use methods in that class I am gonna start writing a lib that gas an froms can use to do scripting s/gas/geas because module code gets confused by the ::'s chillywilly: cool, chillywilly: excellent reinhard: i do see a need for compiled methods neilt: maybe i agree not sure what is the bottleneck in performance that need is speed for example when running MRP in most cases it's the data access from the database not the execution speed of the code any word from derek? reinhard: agree for most business methods but compiled methods would give a way to extend GEAS without a lot of overhead and work with native types ok this would not be business rules but for use by internal GEAS classes i am definitively not against it i just would like to see python methods with higher priority you know python is just better than C ;) but if it is a lot of work, its not the most important thing right now neilt: exactly reinhard: 3exactly reinhard: by the way, what was your question from the log ah yes old geas gcdparser has a lot of complicated and non-portable code to explicitely follow symbolic links where it would be possible (afaik) to follow them implicitly the only difference would be that if within the directory structure two symbolic links point to the same directory they are read only once with old code and they are read twice w/ portable implicit following what would you think? reinhard: i dont understand the issue i dont care about following links if it would work better then change it neilt: thanks as far as i am concerned most people will not use links in the gcd tree iirc it was an issue someday i think it was even in TODO chillywilly: wasn't it you who fixed it? fixed what? symbolic links in gcd trees yes you remember who brought up this issue? is it broke? no i am rewriting the code ok (all gcdparser code, not yours specially) have fun :) thanks :) you use BSD extension functions there ummm, I didn't mean to which ones? and i am thinking about a way to do w/ POSIX lstat hrrrrmmmmm well I am not the best system hacker that's for sure readlink what is POSIX equivalent? none well that sucks posix does not define that there must be links afaik ah symlinks aren't even POSIX? reinhard: all i can say is that the way CW did it worked on my mac :) but you should be able to use the filename of the link just like it was the filename of the target so you don't even know it's a link you can but it doesn not resolve the link it gives you it as type link it should not stat would just tell you it was a link but not what t points to iirc i will try I dunno I would need to look at the man pages again glibc docmentation tells otherwise btw i am not a system hacker, too well if you can change it to be more portable that is fine i don't know posix by heart, either me neither I know ppl who do though a lot fo the Hurd ppl do s/fo/of ;) Action: reinhard hugs Appendix B of the GNU C Library Reference Manual :) hehe hey cool g_strconcat receives a NULL terminated list of strings if you forget the NULL at the ed end guess what happens then what? no segfault no error message the application exits w/ a nonzero exit status :) w/o any message :) heh, nice :P that's really helpful or something yeah chillywilly: fwiw: stat() tells it's a directory when it's a symbolic link to a directory thought so plus stat() follows symbolic links within the filename hmm wel I dunno why I used lstat....there msut've been some reason symbolic links are absolutely transparent to the functions that is acutally the reason for symbolic links imho :) yes a vritual shortcut chillywilly: there are some differences though virtual even 1. you could give the _real_ filename of the file in error messages 2. you could make sure that a file is only processed once even if 2 links pointed to the same file but both issues are non-issues imho yes, if you force them to only do things one way I thinkn I might've been checking for some special cases like that ah yes I checked to make sure it was not a link to ./ or ../ otherwise we recirse forever recurse ah well i would say we don't we would just do as long as the filename doesn't exceed the limit ;) let me try these are all the special cases if (g_strcasecmp (classdir, linkbuf) && g_strncasecmp ("./", linkbuf, 2) && g_strncasecmp ("../", linkbuf, 3) && g_strcasecmp (currpath->str, linkbuf)) chillywilly: seems you are correct it loops :) yours does? or that code? my new code that code should not ah ok ok i get a "filename too long" after some minutes :) but i would say it is unfair to call that a bug ;) what function returns that error? er, sets errno appropriately opendir hmmm but it takes pretty long :) are you making a really long filename? my link to . was called this-is-the-longest-gcd-file-name-in-the-world.gcd recursive-lik-with-a-very-long-filename-so-that-the-path-is-getting-long-very-quick ah and it still took like 100 recursions or so :) it is fun to break code :P :) you got bratwrusts over there in Austria?
