Hello! (Sorry, lost the thread - start a new one)
Mario asked a few questions and I like to comment on those: >Should it be possible to allow multiple threads to set different file creation >modes? As far as I understand, Scsh allows that (I may be wrong, though). I'm strongly against this. I don't see the advantage of doing so and I find it unintuitive. A process is a process and a thread is a thread. The umask is a process-specific setting, why make it thread-specfic, then? (besides the obvious implementation problems) >How should the umask support be implemented? As Peter suggests (i.e., having >file-creation-mode-mask and a setter for it)? Or just >set-file-creation-mode-mask! which is just a direct binding to the umask >syscall? I'd prefer the accessor + setter. >Maybe the poll should contain more options, like: I would suggest a simple yes/no poll. All discussion shoult take place before the time the poll is taken. If a CR gets rejected, further discussion can go into details. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
