[Chicken-users] qt4 layouts

2007-07-01 Thread Martin DeMello
The qt egg currently doesn't seem to support QLayoutWidget - it fails with QFormBuilder: Cannot create widget of class QLayoutWidget. Are there any plans to add this? martin ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org

[Chicken-users] user list on wiki

2007-07-01 Thread Dan Muresan
Hi all, two things I don't understand about the user list: 1) Some people get links with space-separated names, e.g. http://chicken.wiki.br/mario%20domenech%20goulart while some get links with dash-separated names: http://chicken.wiki.br/dan-muresan Yet the wiki markup seems to be the same.

[Chicken-users] lighter weight alternatives to s11n?

2007-07-01 Thread Martin DeMello
I have a list of words (182260 words, 1.6MB) that I need to read into a series of hashes, e.g. (word = true) for quick lookups,(word = (anagrams)), etc. Rather than do this every time the program is run, I want to serialise the hashes and dump them to a file, and subsequently loading in the file

[Chicken-users] ANN: php-s11n egg 1.0

2007-07-01 Thread Arto Bendiken
I've completed a 1.0.0 release of a new egg called php-s11n: http://chicken.wiki.br/php-s11n The egg provides serialization/unserialization of Scheme values in a format compatible with the ubiquitous PHP scripting language. It can be useful for communicating with PHP applications (such as the

Also, serializing a hash dies when it hits the end (and attempting to deserialize the file segfaults). Here's a minimal example: #;1 (use s11n) ; loading /usr/lib/chicken/1/s11n.so ... #;2 (serialize (make-hash-table)) Error: (serialize) unable to serialize object - unable to serialize procedure

Two options come to mind. 1) Use a database. 2) Write the data out as a Scheme expression; e.g. (write (hash-table-alist dict)), then read it back in with (alist-hash-table (read)). #1 will almost certainly be faster for large datasets, and will use much less memory. On 7/1/07, Martin DeMello

[Chicken-users] Issues with the blas library

2007-07-01 Thread Ivan Raikov
Hi all, I accidentally discovered that the procedure blas:dgemm in the blas egg causes a segmentation fault when called with a TRANSPOSE argument that is a character, instead of one of the transpose constants. Is this normal, or could it possibly be an indication of an issue with the FFI

You're absolutely right: enums are not generating any test for validity. I would expect to see a C_i_foreign_integer_argumentp test there. I don't know if this behaviour is intentional. You could try this patch to Chicken, which adds a test for integer. (Patch is against darcs HEAD but
