C99 support is better in gcc mainline (3.1). AFAIK, variable length arrays
are broken for 3.0.x.

Or see in 6.7.3.1 in the Standard. Basically, if you have two restricted
pointers a and b, you tell the compiler that a won't reference the object
pointed by b, and vice versa. memcpy() for example shall now be declared
as:

void *memcpy(void * restrict dest, const void * restrict src, size_t n);

But in some cases, the rationale in C99 differs with the one for C++. I am
thinking about some weird code and declarations with labels. I don't have
an example on top of my head but I seem to remember having seen that in
the C99 rationale (n897).

Even if you replace case with a switch, that won't work. I believe the
following to be valid in C++ but not in C99

while (T t = x) 

which is equivalent to

label:
{
T t = x;
if (t) {

goto label;
}
}

That doesn't work for file scope arrays for example but I am sure you
meant it implicitly ;-)

[6.7.5.2, #2]

   [#2] Only ordinary identifiers (as defined  in  6.2.3)  with
   both  block scope or function prototype scope and no linkage
   shall have a variably modified type.  If  an  identifier  is
   declared  to  be  an object with static storage duration, it
   shall not have a variable length array type.

> - designated initializers
>   struct complex { double a,b } = { b:7, a:3 ];

That doesn't work like that, this is a GCC notation I think.

struct a_struct { double a, b; } x = { .b = 3.0, .a = 2.0 };
[You can initialize the struct in whatever order you want]

int my_array[10] = { 0, 1, 2, [8] = 7 };

This already exists - see troels.rsync3.pl on my web page.  As
supplied, it downloads a Mandrake or cooker tree, leaving out
everything non-English, and is easily further customised by adding to
rsync_exclude to form a profile which will download only such a
subset as you propose.  The profile-building is today an iterative
manual process, specify, download, install with hd.img, respecify,
etc., adding excludes for what you do NOT want downloaded.

C99 is really a secure and powerfull addition. Some of this features are already

[Cooker] NFS install

2001-07-23 Thread kk1

Hi,

I tried to install Cooker through NFS since I don't have enough memory to
use FTP.

Well, the first stage didn't detect automatically my 3C905 card but let me
select it and found Cooker succesfully the remote NFS partition.

But the first thing that DrakX tries to do is to to insert the isapnp
module and this deactivates the ethernet card and breaks the network
connection.

Is there a way to restart the process?

And any other steps in between are also incompatible.  But this is

Please take your question to Mandrake Expert.

When I originally started this thread "Brand new cooker, multithreaded

lying around causing this problem.  That can't be the case as no cruft

Btw, for a more serious comparison, you can compare the number of smileys
in the two statements, you can also think if the statement is going
positive or negative, and you can finally also think if a precise asset is
made; in my mail, I don't see anything else than "nice", which is not very
rough after all... except probably in the US where avoiding any "bias" by
all mean to become 100% politically correct is so much important that
anything else (including using brain) is stricly prohibited.

Apparently, it's not sure at all that we'll ship 8.1 (sept/oct) with
default compiler set as gcc-3.0, considering the current status/stability
of the compiler.

[Cooker] FreeS/WAN and Mandrake 8.0

2001-07-23 Thread Jason Byrne

Hi all
I've been trying to get FreeS/WAN up and running on
Mandrake 8.0 for a few weeks and have recently been
getting a few (disturbing) replies to some e-mails
I've sent saying that FreeS/WAN doesn't work with 8.0.
One FreeS/WAN user said that the most recent Cooker
Kernel worked along with freeswan-1.91-1mdk.rpm but
that too didn't work for me. Anyone any ideas? I'm new
to the whole Cooker scene but I'm presuming that if I
rpm the kernel and FreeS/WAN Cooker packages, that's
it.
I wan looking through some of the Cooker achives and
came across a mail from Brian J. Murrell stating that
"Sometime after kernel-2.4.1-22mdk ipsec broke".
Again, I'm assuming that he's refering to FreeS/WAN.
Anyway guys, thanks for your time and if you have any
feedback let me know.
Sincerely
Jay

Re: [Cooker] Reprint of business suggestions for Mandrake *It's a good Idea*

2001-07-23 Thread Blue Lizard

Well it didnt go thru last time, in response to GLM's comment.:
Well, Canada Boy, there used to be a prompt for "workstation" 
"development" or "server".  Dont know where that went.  But I think to 
get the most greenbacks from business', go with the original plan.  That 
is, main distro as we have it now (prosuites and crap like that 
included),then stemming from that (doesnt mdk have a firewall/security 
mini distro already that does this?) mail server, backup solution, 
network/security stuff (installation could let choose btwn. 
router,firewall,gateway,whatever else), webfront/enterprise solution 
(pg,mysql,apache,perl,php, allthatstuff).  Just because a business 
really will choose a one cd firewall over just selecting that as the 
purpose of install.  And we could not waste so much space with 
unneccessary crap this way (like when the drakx tools for users and 
whatever crap came out, the workstation/server/devel choice disappeared, 
and every installation was forced to put in all sorts of crap for these 
tools that were required on ea. install, making it hard to get install 
less than 120MB).  The currently mdk distro as it is, 80 and cooker, 
would be correctly labeled as mandrake-workstation.80 or 
mandrake-workstation.cooker.  Whereas the others would be 
mandrake-mail-solutions.80, mandrake-backup-solution.80, 
mandrake-webfront.80, and the like.  WHAT HAS THE 
ERGONOMICS/PR/CORPORATE RELATIONS CREW TO SAY?  Could we poll those on 
that mandrake business cases place (the people that use mandrake in some 
form at their business') to see what their business' would be most 
likely to like or buy or whatever?  Go door to door at local business' 
over 500 employees and ask their IT crews or whomever what they would 
choose (and thus recommend to their superiors) :P.  We need some actual 
business owners to give their opinions here as well is mepoint.  I will 
go to the eshare hq (strangely close to me) and ask.  But the original 
purpose of this message was to state that instead of reviving the old 
choice of purpose at install, to call this what it is, workstation, and 
sell business' stuff for other purposes, designed to fit their needs. 
That is what that other guy's point was at the beginning.  That would 
also help staying SMALL when SMALL is what's needed most.  This would 
work.  Now there is one thing... What to do when people ask 'well what 
about the packages in mandrake under server and development?'  I DONT KNOW.

Hi Sami
I'm not sure if this is related but I tried a kernel
(2.4.6) last week from kernel.org and my networking
just disappeared! In the end it didn't have a pcmcia
module - ??? Luckily I had an old image that was
bootable and could get my networking up and running
again. I've used kernels from kernel.org before and
never had any problems.

Hi,

I'm building a VPN with mdk8.0 and freeswan.  When I start ipsec
the tunnel between two gateways is stablished, but I can't ping from one
subnet to another.

Using tcpdump on ethernet I can see the encripted packets,but
nothing pass to ipsec interface.

Any Idea ?

What do you mean "the same"? rpm output is much better - it shows rpm which
is installed, running progress bar and running percentage.

The format of rpm output really has changed, and now it places more demand
on terminal capability ...
