[SLUG] OT: [C/C++/CPP] Is it possible to do ...
Hi All,
I am stuck trying to decide on 2 courses of action - one
of which involves changes to loads of files (I wish to avoid
doing this if possible).
Currently, I have this C-function:
int DEBUG(char* xstr, int somelevel)
{
// pseudo-pseudo-code follows
if ( somelevel 10 )
print xstr;
return 0;
}
char* fs(const char* fmt, ...);
And they are used as follows (as an example):
DEBUG( fs(%s%s, -, =), 25 );
I aim to deprecate the use of fs() - as you will see the call to
fs() is wasted its output isn't being printed. I aim to shove down
that responsibility to DEBUG itself.
My Question:
Is it possible to do use C-processor macros to define fs() to
_become_ nothing, and call my new DEBUG with the follow prototype:
int NEW_DEBUG(int somelevel, const char* fmt, ...); ??
That is:
#define fs(msg,...) ?? // leaves me with just msg,...
#define DEBUG(const char*, ... , level) NEW_DEBUG(level, const
char*, )
(Please note: I have used incorrect CPP syntax as I am trying
to get an idea across only [and also 'cos I don't know howto])
Is the above idea possible - or I should go ahead and do the
hundreds
of lines of changes ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rajnish

I'm sure I answered this question, or a similar a couple of days ago, but
#define fs(msg...) msg
#define DEBUG(const char*, ... , level) NEW_DEBUG(level, const
char*, )
Um, I'm not sure what you want to do here. Your old DEBUG was:
DEBUG(char*, level), not DEBUG(const char*, ..., level)
Of course the latter is impossible, you can't have variadic arguments in
the middle of your function definition.
Instead of a solution, I'll point you to the wonerful manual:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Variadic-Macros.html,
which is kind of hard to find if you don't realise these things are
called variadic macros. (And even then if you can't spell like me, you
still have trouble).

You are trying to hard. Ignore fs and what it does and have another
look at DEBUG:
int DEBUG(char* xstr, int somelevel)
If you translate this into nothing then you wont even have the function
call left. The catch to this sort of change is programming by side
effect.
DEBUG( something, i++ );
If you translate this to nothing then i++ just goes away as well. If
nothing strange is in your code then a simple macro will do the trick.
#define DEBUG(x,y)
You will get another error, I will leave this for you to ponder where
:-)

Re: [SLUG] OT: question about IBM Aptiva
Hi Kevin, It's an old trick but it just might work... Hold down any key and turn on the power. Don't worry about beeps etc. The computer thinks there is a stuck key and throws you into the BIOS. Also hitting F1 or F12 or the DEL key sometimes works, sometimes CTRL+A or CTRL+S. Keep hitting these straight after turning on the power. Or are you talking about REMOVING the BIOS password?

Re: [SLUG] linux hardware raid controllers
At 07:46 22/10/2003, you wrote: SCSI's great. IMO, it'll always be faster, no matter what the IDE drive specs state. I run both my workstations on SCSI, and love it. It is pricey, however. The good news is that almost all mainstream SCSI RAID controllers have Linux support (IIRC). I run a Dell PERC2/DC (Ultra2, rebadged AMI EliteRAID 1500) in my other workstation. Works great with the megaraid driver. so you like the AMI EliteRAID1500. ? how feature full is the driver? can you blink disk LEDS? The card isn't available on the new market at the moment, as far as I know, but the info about the drivers should apply to all LSI cards now (all of the new stuff should be under the megaraid driver, if I understand right). Re: The Driver. The short answer is I don't really know at the moment, as I haven't had much time to play with it. The driver has been very painless so far (2.4.22, driver revision 1.18k), and has a pretty nice /proc interface with all the right info, but not writable stuff. You may be able to do so in the mailbox file, but I'm not sure. I've just tried out the MegaRAID manager (you can grab it from the LSI site -- just download the Red Hat 8 driver, which is actually just a tarball), and you can do anything you can do in the BIOS with it (I suspect it is just a bridge to the BIOS). As I haven't got any drives connected to the adapter at the moment, I can't confirm whether or not you can flash drive lights. On vendor gear, I'm sure everyone's had some pretty bad experiences. I know we had some horrors with a nice shiny Adaptec SAN we got in a while back (which was then resolved pretty quickly, actually, once the right people heard about it..). The IBM gear I've used lately all uses the LSI Fusion MPT Ultra320 chipset (which even does RAID1 natively!), and seems very, very nice, though I've yet to be able to put Linux on one of these puppies (Netware 6 and Win2k so far) - I think all the big names are using this chipset now. It may even be the one LSI is using on the RAID adapters. I tend to lean towards researching hardware very carefully, but then buying from a big name, to try and save myself from the blame game (oh no, it's definitely XYZ's equipment.. couldn't be ours..).

Re: [SLUG] linux hardware raid controllers
Well Debian didn't support that chipset natively when I installed it on the box in question Matt :-( just took a different woody boot disk and an extra driver. Also needed a decent new kernel package with the mptbase and mptscsi drivers. according to the IBM website, the redhat installer and kernels support that chipset from a fair while ago. seems to run very fast now its installed, but installing it was a bit of bitch. Also the Broadcom onboard 10/100/1000 nic on those boxes (IBM x335) can use the tg3 driver or a different one. The tg3 driver seemed to work ok in preliminary testing. I think the Fusion chipset has some nice ideas, but I am not sure why they decided having a network card and scsi controller on the same chip. Would it make that much difference? besides, the Fusion nic support in linux is a bit problematic, and according to the IBM readme, only useable as a module.

RE: [SLUG] Error Messages - Hardware Issue
Just as a guess, possibly there is a hardware fault on the disk at SCSI 0 and the controller is automatically correcting the one-bit parity error. The earlier shutdown would have occurred when there was more than one bit in error. The eth0 error may be a timeout due to the first fault, as you say. If you have a spare disk, it might be time to swap it out. Of course it is probably the main system disk and you didn't really want to keep the machine offline ... :) Time to do a surface scan of the media, I think. Also if it's only one year you might check your hardware warranties. Some of the newer disks are guaranteed for three years. If a surface scan does not show up anything, you might have a controller fault. You can always try re-seating the card and connectors (actually you might want to do that first before the media test).

My question is there anyone that could teach me using NAT or is there any good tutorials that could teach me about the masquaring.

It will automagically set up NAT to do the right thing! I don't know where to find a really good intro document though, but perhaps someone else will. :-) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ Anyway - I need something more James Bond than Banana Man, if you know what I mean... - Tom Gilbert -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Error Messages - Hardware Issue
Hi scott There was a lot of discussion on this at LKML http://lkml.org/ A quick search with 'Too much work at interrupt' returned plenty, hopfully it will help.

[SLUG] Recommended .com.au registrar
I've got a couple of domains coming up for renewal in the next couple of months, and don't particularly want to give another chunk of change to Extortion IT. Does anyone have any particular experiences, good or bad, with the rest of the crop of registrars able to act directly for the .com.au registry? I'm interested in both kudos and brickbats anyone might have. Thanks, Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] OT:24VDC PC UPS
This is slighltly off topic but I'm sure someone have come across a similar problem and have a solution for it. I have a 24vDC PC thats going in a truck. I want to ensure there is a reliable power supply and ensure that if the power is interupted the pc will not shutdown. I can source a 24v Battery with enough juice to run the pc for 15 min when the truck ignition is off. What Iam unsure of is the wirring and other electronic gear to ensure that whilst the truck is going (running) it is using a regulated 24v of the trucks electrical system and trickle charging the battery if it is not fully charged and if the truck ignition is off it uses the batteries and allows the users to shut the system down gracefully. Any help is appreciated. Cheers -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
RE: [SLUG] OT: [C/C++/CPP] Is it possible to do ...
Hi All,
The example from Robert is quite good indeed. Learnt quite
a bit about macros.
I used the ideas from it and made a quickdirty solution
only to come up with a bug in the Sun CC compiler handling of
macros with __VA_ARGS__ and the operator -. (It drops the
when the macro is expanded.) No suchproblems with gcc.
Thanks a lot to everyone.
Regards,
Rajnish
ps: For those interested, can try it out on the following code(tte):
/*
* use either: gcc -E filename
* or: CC -E filename
* to see the difference.
*/
#include stdio.h
#define myprintf(str,...) printf(str,__VA_ARGS__);
struct foo {
int bar;
};
int main() {
foo* a = new foo;
foo-bar = 10;
myprintf(foo-bar=%d\n, foo-bar);
return 0;
}
