One of the complaints often heard about LinuxCNC is that it is controlled by a small group of programmers and the only things they add are things they like/want. They make the holy pronouncement that "if you like you can always do it yourself and we will consider it for inclusion". So even if a person has the ability to do the code it may or may not be included. The reality is that it is very difficult for a person not a trained software engineer to do the modifications to something as complex as LinuxCNC.
Who represents the view that a feature is common in industrial controls, so it ought to be in linuxCNC, even if the now very old NIST effort to create a standard did not include it? If this were a commercial product some marketing person would write a product requirement, the programmers would make it happen and the industrial users would be pleased. ron ginger On 10/4/2014 1:47 PM, emc-users-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net wrote: > Some programmers have strong negative feelings about the GOTO instruction. > Some really horrendous code has been written with the help of the GOTO > instruction. > Extensive use of the GOTO instruction is generally associated with bad > programming practices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
