Hi Andy.
Just so you do get some answer... I agree with removing the mask requirement if the feature is safe. Can't immediately see any problem with reading data from the INI. What is unsafe about allowing gcode HAL access (other then there are limitations) ?

In this post https://forum.linuxcnc.org/32-documents/31886-features-variable-in-ini-file-rs274ngc-section#83257 It is suggested that this section of the remapping docs: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/remap/structure.html#_optional_interpreter_features_ini_file_configuration_a_id_sub_ini_features_a Should be moved to the INI file docs section. Which seems to make sense. He also suggests that the mask should be set to 12 by default. Personally I am not so sure about 12, but I can see strong arguments that it should be 4 by default to allow G-code access to data stored in the INI file. It would probably also make sense to alias the mask to specific settings, ie G_CODE_INI_ACCESS = 1 G_CODE_HAL_ACCESS = 1 But that would be more work. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." - George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers Emc-developers Info Page - SourceForge<https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers> lists.sourceforge.net The Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) is a CNC machine controller that runs on Linux and is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
