I propose to change all code in linuxCNC requiring ini variables as follows:
- any code needing to access ini file variables is to investigate the environment for the INI_FILE_NAME variable - drop any use of '-ini' from programs - if needed, run said programs with 'INI_FILE_NAME=<pathname> command' Rationale: - there is a duplicity of mechanisms to start with - both getenv() and '-ini' are used. There is no discernible justification to have both. - the '-ini' syntax (note single dash) is incompatible with every single option parsing library code ever written since Alan Turing. The numbers: - in total of 18 files are affected, 3 of which are manpages Motivation: http://www.despair.com/tradition.html Timing: if this proposal isnt shot down for good reasons, I encourage this (minor) work be picked up by somebody other than me. If this doesnt happen, I will do it myself as of July. - Michael mah@ubuntu-10:~/emc2-rtos/configs$ egrep -re "-ini[\s\'\"]" .. ../bin/linuxcnctop:if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == '-ini': ../bin/touchy: if len(sys.argv) > 2 and sys.argv[1] == '-ini': ../bin/axis:if sys.argv[1] != "-ini": ../bin/debuglevel:if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == '-ini': ../docs/man/man1/haltcl.1:\fB-ini\fR \fIinifile\fR -- declining usage, use \fB-i\fR \fIinifile\fR ../docs/man/man1/vfs11_vfd.1:.IP -I\ --ini\ <inifilename> ../docs/man/man1/axis.1:\fI-ini\fR \fIINIFILE\fR ../src/emc/nml_intf/emcargs.cc: if (!strcmp(argv[t], "-ini")) { ../src/emc/usr_intf/touchy/touchy.py: if len(sys.argv) > 2 and sys.argv[1] == '-ini': ../src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/linuxcnctop.py:if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == '-ini': ../src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/debuglevel.py:if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == '-ini': ../src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/axis.py:if sys.argv[1] != "-ini": ../src/emc/usr_intf/keystick.cc: if (!strcmp(argv[t], "-ini")) ../src/emc/iotask/ioControl_v2.cc: if (!strcmp(argv[t], "-ini")) { ../src/emc/iotask/ioControl.cc: if (!strcmp(argv[t], "-ini")) { ../src/libnml/inifile/inivar.cc: if (!strcmp(argv[t], "-ini")) { ../src/libnml/inifile/inivar.cc: "%s: ini file not specified after -ini\n", argv[0]); ../tests/motion/g0/checkresult: "-ini", ../tests/motion/g0/checkresult: "-ini", ../tests/motion/g0/checkresult: "-ini", ../scripts/haltcl.in: && ( ([lindex $argv 0] == "-i") || ([lindex $argv 0] == "-ini") )} { ../scripts/haltcl: && ( ([lindex $argv 0] == "-i") || ([lindex $argv 0] == "-ini") )} { mah@ubuntu-10:~/emc2-rtos/configs$ egrep -re "-ini[\s\'\"]" ..|wc -l 22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
