I've been tinkering with the idea of Objective C as I want to do something with modern macs, but I consider it an abortion of a language and a cruel joke on the world.

Perhaps my dig is more at Apple than Objective C as a language in itself. Making Objective C my-way-or-the-highway. As a curiosity it's fine, as mandatory it's reason to have no enthusiam for macs anymore.

I must admit I am bemused at the rants at Java. The sites I've looked up can come up with pages of apparent evidence and I'm left with is that all you have? If you recognize it for what it is, a very portable and managed environment for OO. I loose no sleep over lack of operator overloading.
Admittedly my main focus is on the server with J2EE systems, and it is close to ideal. It just does it's job.

Is there anyone here who has programmed a Smartcard Applet in PHP or Python?

Wrote on the subject of GUI development for cross platform at Nov. 19, 2011, 12:12 p.m...

You have an idea for an application that you want to build once and ideally once only.

Cross platform means at least POSIX including Mac, Linux, Solaris, IRIX etc, and of course Windows. Lets leave Android out of the equation. But as you are doing Mac, you can in theory include iPhone/iPad if you want.

So how do you do the GUI?

It is a traditional computer app written in C/C++ that really uses files and devices, not a website you want on a PC. It is properly layered so factoring and rebuilding the GUI code natively for each platform is not a technical issue, it's a time and maintenance issue. The GUI is not very fancy, dialogs, buttons and text entry fields, no 3D or real time graphics used.

You also want to be able to freely distribute the application.

We're hammering languages in other threads, how about GUIs and their toolkits here?

What pisses me off is kids who write shell scripts and add "#!/bin/zsh" at the top and claim they are being hyperproductive because of it, and instead have made a script that then won't work on the target systems because, funnily enough they didn't have and previously didn't need zsh until the spotty erk decided that they could override the change control of an organisation.

Similar with GIT, just because you use GIT on your favourite FOSS project does not mean you have to force it onto every server you see, having a distributed system that works well using SVN is not magically improved by breaking everything to satisfy your GIT evangelism.

Select an area is the X-windows version of copy, then pasting often done with center click.

A Unix workstation mouse with only two buttons? I bet you're using a PC mouse.....

With XFree86 they could map two buttons to three by treating pressing both buttons at the same time as the third button.

Modern mice with scroll wheels often use push the scroll wheel as the third button.

It's rather like C is the Cheddar in Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch.

Hi,

I am writing a man page, the neko_groff is emitting blank pages at the start of the output, even for postscript as output.

Code: Select all


$ which groff


/usr/nekoware/bin/groff


$ groff -version


GNU groff version 1.19.1


Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.


GNU groff comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

called subprograms:




GNU eqn (groff) version 1.19.1


GNU grops (groff) version 1.19.1


GNU troff (groff) version 1.19.1

My man page is really simple

Code: Select all


$ cat testpage


.TH TESTPAGE 1 "3 January 2012"


.SH NAME


testpage(1) \- A test page

On Linux, I get

Code: Select all

and my output looks sensible:

$ nroff -man <testpage

NAME


testpage(1) - A test page








3 January 2012                     TESTPAGE(1)

however on IRIX, I get 40 blank lines ( bare LF ) prepended to the output. I've tried with both nekoware on and off the path. I don't have the original SGI versions of the programs.

Any suggestions? ( apart from strip them off afterwards )

Wrote on the subject of SOM Toolkit for IRIX etc at Jan. 4, 2012, 2:28 a.m...

Let's see if this gets more downloads than neko_libXp. :roll:

This is a project I've been working on for the last decade and have decided to publish and be damned, as they say.

It is a clean-room implementation of IBM's SOM toolkit including DSOM.

I am calling it "somFree" for want of a better name.

It is built using MIPSpro with mips3 and tested on my octane using 6.5.22m

The components have been split up to mimic the way it is split up on AIX.

Code:

i N  somtk.man.manpages [d]            28+  Man Pages

i N  somtk.man.relnotes [d]            24+  Release Notes

i N  somtk.sw.comp [d]                548+  Compiler Software

i N  somtk.sw.dsom [d]               1640+  Distributed SOM

i N  somtk.sw.ir [d]                  528+  Interface Repository

i N  somtk.sw.rte [d]                 340+  Run Time Environment

i N  somtk.sw.tests                    60+  Tests programs

i N  somtk.sw.util [d]               1056+  Utilities

The release notes are worth noting.

Code:

bash-4.0$ relnotes somtk 1

SOMFREE(1)                                                          SOMFREE(1)

NAME

somFree(1) - somFree Toolkit

DESCRIPTION

somFree  provides  the  runtime and development environment for running

programs using SOM.

HISTORY

This software is a clean-room implementation of IBM's SOM.

4 January 2012                      SOMFREE(1)

Code:

bash-4.0$ relnotes somtk 2

SOMFREE(1)                                                          SOMFREE(1)

NAME

somFree(1) - somFree Toolkit

INSTALLATION

Package  is installed in /opt/somtk and associated subdirectories. Fol-

lowing installation the somcorba script should be run to  generate  the

include files for development.

4 January 2012                      SOMFREE(1)

Code:

bash-4.0$ relnotes somtk 3

SOMFREE(1)                                                          SOMFREE(1)

NAME

somFree(1) - somFree Toolkit

ENVIRONMENT

The following environment variables should be set:

SOMBASE

This should be set to /opt/somtk.

SOMDPORT

This should be a unique value for accessing somdd.

SOMIR  This  points  to  the  interface repository file, normally $SOM-

BASE/etc/som.ir.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This should be set to include $SOMBASE/lib32.

4 January 2012                      SOMFREE(1)

Also of interest are the man pages for somtest0 and somtest1.

Code:

bash-4.0$ MANPATH=/opt/somtk/man man somtest0

bash-4.0$ MANPATH=/opt/somtk/man man somtest1

But you'll have to install it to read those.

A simple SOM Hello World program is as follows:

Code:

bash-4.0$ cat hello.cpp

#include <som.xh>

int main(int argc,char **argv)

{

SOMClassMgr *mgr=somEnvironmentNew();

mgr->somDumpSelf(0);

somEnvironmentEnd();

return 0;

}

bash-4.0$ CC hello.cpp -I/opt/somtk/include -L/opt/somtk/lib32 -lsom

bash-4.0$ ldd a.out

libsom.so.1  =>  /opt/somtk/lib32/libsom.so.1

libCsup.so  =>   /usr/lib32/libCsup.so

libC.so.2  =>    /usr/lib32/libC.so.2

libCio.so.1  =>  /usr/lib32/libCio.so.1

libc.so.1  =>    /usr/lib32/libc.so.1

libpthread.so  =>        /usr/lib32/libpthread.so

libm.so  =>      /usr/lib32/libm.so

bash-4.0$ ./a.out

An instance of SOMClassMgr at address 1404460

{

SOMClass(1,6)

metaclass=SOMClass

SOMObject(1,7)

metaclass=SOMClass

SOMClassMgr(1,4)

metaclass=SOMClass

}

bash-4.0$

So there is now no excuse for not writing WorkPlaceShell for IRIX.

I was rather hoping somebody could just confirm my findings, and ideally compare the output with native SGI provided nroff.

The author has some really interesting things to say about C99 with respect to C++, little of which I agree with but interesting nonetheless... :mrgreen:

I agree with much of what he's saying, basically the C++ object model is not very good at providing binary compatibility over time for modules compiled by different vendors. It suffers from from the "fragile base class" problem, Objective C suffers a similar problem, change the size of a parent class by adding a field and you break existing compiled descendents. Also naming mangling is not consistent between compilers. If you are exporting C++ entry points you are asking for trouble.

C++ has always stressed the importance of hiding implementation details, yes?

Does nobody appretiate the irony of the recommended solution to C++ weaknesses is to pretend to all code outside your compiled module that you are not using C++ by only exposing a procedural interface?

One of the places Java and .NET have really succeeded is by being able to properly support object-orientated APIs at the binary level and supported directly by the compilers. You can take somebody elses JAR or assembly and just use it, and don't have to recompile even when they make major changes.

C++ for a change ended (or rather started) up with a bunch of compilers - some different almost as if it were for another language (think GCC vs MSVC) - even though there was "one standard" the platform differences and other stuff made it difficult to follow.

The standard was at the source code level rather than the generate code or ABI, eg what a vtable would look like or what name mangling to use. The piece that was missing was an OO ABI. Both COM and SOM provided this but both stayed proprietary, but did allow object orientated software to interoperate at the binary level even in different languages. COM was the cheap and cheerful one that did not actually need a runtime but it's language interoperability failed for any C++ compiler that did not generate a vtable that matched COM's expectations.
