Re: [maemo-developers] Problem with GDB and threads...
Hi, On the Nokia 770, the backtrace goes on forever and i have to kill gdb Have you compiled your binary: - without optimization (or used -fno-omit-frame-pointer) - with -g - not stripped it ? If not, if you do that and try again, does the debugging work better? If it still doesn't work, does it work if you install 'libc6-dbg' package and run your program, or GDB starting your program, with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH gdb /path/app ? Has anyone else experienced this? Also, why is there an extra thread? Thread manager polling the other threads? (Using threads on ARM should be avoided unless absolutely necessary) - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I know that the package is available at the repository, but can't figure out how to get at it using the package installer!!! Until a solid repository with all widely used thirdparty libraries is set up, I think the most easy way of using sqlite is just installing it from sources in SDK and linking statically with application.

[maemo-developers] initfs hacking questions
Hello, recently I tried to modify initfs to allow dual booting and got some questions: Is there a way to get code of pressed HW key in /linuxrc script? There is command that waits for keypress. There is also something is sysfs for detecting battery door, shell, headphone jack state but nothing simple for keys. Anything I missed or do I need to compile my own executable? Which scratchbox uclibc toolchain should I use? There are two ones here http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/0.9.8/tarball/ sf (softfloats) and non-sf. What exactly is testserver? initfs is full in IT2006 so I need to delete something. I deleted testserver and its shared libraries and device seems to boot. Is this needed for device operation or it is really for factory testing or something like that so it never gets executed automatically on boot. How do I run those test anyway? Can I distribute hacked initfs? If not, is binary patch OK? Which functionality I loose when dsme is not executed from /linuxrc (battery charging?) Is is a good idea to use cal-tool frequently (i.e on each boot) to set various flags (root device,..)? This get stored to flash, how it is with wear leveling of config partition?

Check dmesg, the kernel logs when it OOMs. I don't remember a OOM message in dmesg. But at the terminal it prints Killed (if it would have been a segfault, it would have printed Segmentation fault). I'm not at a location where I can get Internet access over wifi and I've been using tinymail using the non-mmap patch (causing it to overwrite my summary files with ones that can't be opened with the mmap code). So I can't test at this moment. I will probably recheck the dmesg logs tomorrow or this evening. I do know that the mmap() and munmap() syscalls don't make the kill happen. I know this because I mmap() before I know whether the summary file has the right version or not. It's also detecting an incorrect version, so it can at least read the first bytes (for sure). So it must be something that happens while parsing the memory block. I know I had to use some guint32's, maybe those are differently written to the file on ARM?

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: Tinymail using mmap() gets killed by the kernel of the device
Hi, I know I had to use some guint32's, maybe those are differently written to the file on ARM? On ARM memory accesses have to be aligned (e.g. long = 4 bytes, so long accesses have to be aligned to 4 bytes). AFAIK ANSI-C standard guarantees that structure members are always in the same order (needed for NFS/RPC from the 80's I think :)), but compiler will align the structure sizes. - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

The choice of protocol depends on what you are communicating, but you can probably use HTTP calls (unless you have a lot of binary data or your communication is bidirectional). HTTP is easy to test, trace, and automate. It has a small overhead for text data. Ted ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
