nice. i'd love the ability to ssh into my SAM from work. the geek factor alone is worth it.

The nice thing about sshd is it not only enables remote console but it also can be used to serve files. I really wish I had a bit more time to work on it but I have a couple of other projects to finish first...

Luckily, I was just browsing the web forums and noticed this topic. I'll need to bump up the priority on sshd again.

Yeah, that would have been the smart thing to do...

Re: Annoying problem with std::vector

It doesn't help me much though... What does "throw" mean??

When you see throw() it means the function does not throw exceptions. This is being phased out and will be replaced by noexcept(true) in the next C++ standard.

And what is the scope of the "delete operator"??

The scope is global.

Keep in mind that exceptions do not work properly in C++ if you are using newlib.library. This is a known problem which Hans-Joerg was going to look into. There is a thread about it on the support forum someplace.

Through, all the modern boost-related apps want that "libboostthread.a" , and so, maybe we can somehow still emulate it , if not just plainly port ?

Read this http://www.solie.ca/articles/map/threading/threading.html

The sources for GCC are stored in adtools on sourceforge. If anyone is up to the challenge I certainly would really appreciate it. Note that if newlib is your C library there is a bug in GCC which causes C++ exceptions to fail so you'll need to fix that one first.

After the GCC work is done I could provide you with a Boost threading library in a few hours at most.

Thanks y'all. I will consider boost-libs (I don't know anything about it at present), but I think my first commitment at the moment is to reap the benefits of the Qt bounty and actually create some apps for it. When all that is done, I might turn to other things.

Before doing anything with Boost you should contact me.

I can save you countless hours of pain.

I did say 12 inch but I could be wrong. It was over the phone I got some details. In any case, the specs are not 100% nailed down yet.

Do not panic.

That is my plan yes. I am bringing along my X1000 system and it will be available to try at the Hyperion table. Timberwolf is already loaded up on it.

I hope you can make it this year. Should be a fun time!

Re: is the Silicon Image SATA driver limited to 4 units?

Posted on: 2011/7/16 2:21 #169

Amigans Defender

The 3112 support 2 ports. The 3114 support 4 ports. These are hardware limitations. The drivers support 2 and 4 ports just fine.

I have to wonder how MUI will react if it gets stuck in CloseScreen() of an MUI defined screen.

MUI 3.9 is still in active development so any defects can be fixed.

It would be nice if someone involved in OS4 development would comment on the wisdom of patching CloseScreen() in this way.

It is a very bad idea.

REBOL 3 is still being worked on as can be seen at the web site. Also note the Amiga version is fully up to date. If you'd like to know more about the Amiga version of REBOL in particular then feel free to email me.

Re: Reliability of stack program (or why stack for program too big)

Posted on: 2010/11/30 20:11 #175

@TSK
The Intuition stack swapping feature has been there since 4.0. Some BOOPSI classes use similar stack swapping code.

Just set the stack on your GUI apps to something reasonable like 80k or higher for maximum responsiveness.

How do you do that?

The code to do this is explained in the Processes section of my article so please read that first.

You can verify whether it is working or not using my Ranger tool. Look in the DOS/Processes tab and click on the running process. If a stack cookie is present the "Min:" amount of stack will display that value.

The stack cookie sets up the minimum amount of stack. Icons, the shell's stack setting, DOS prefs and the programmer can also change the size of the stack. The thing to remember is that DOS will always choose the largest of all the stack settings for maximum safety.

@Mrodfr
You need to have at least 60k of stack or so for any program using a GUI. If you don't, one will be provided for you via a hidden stack swap which will slow your program down slightly. I recommend setting a stack cookie at about 80k for anything with a GUI to avoid the implicit stack swapping in Intuition.

Come to think of it, I should probably document this fact in my Modern Amiga Programming article.

It is best to never nitpick about stack size in AmigaOS. Give it plenty of room and always use a stack cookie in your programs.

@xenic
REBOL 3 can be extended freely thanks to the host kit. That means you could add an ARexx interface much like the one we already have in Amiga Python.

If you'd like to know more about REBOL and what it can do I would suggest checking out REBOL Programming For The Absolute Beginner.

You may also want to check out REBOL 3 Motivation for why REBOL 3 exists.

REBOL 3 Progress

Posted on: 2010/11/24 18:08 #179

Amigans Defender

I've been blogging regarding progress on the REBOL 3 host kit implementation (which includes the REBOL GUI) at my web site.

The GUI is a bit rough but it is functioning as can be seen from the screen shots. Carl Sassenrath is doing bug fixes for the REBOL core as we go and compiles the AmigaOS version on his Sam440ep system.

I hope to have something releasable in the near future but my time is very limited at the moment.

REBOL 3 itself is marching towards a beta release (it is currently at the alpha stage).
