Along the lines of this complaint
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash-dev/2009-02/msg00054.html
gnash was printing its silly "parsing file" message to *stdout* and not to
stderr, which was extremely annoying. (In 0.8.4, haven't checked current
source yet.)
And while playing with this
http://linuxcentre.net/hulu-possibly-accessible-again-soon/#comments
I had to go through a number of contortions to make it all work. Took at least
4 runs of configure and two compiles before I figured out I needed to
--enable-extensions=FILEIO and --enable-debugger, buried among all the other
build errors/warnings I was getting. (E.g., it said "you can ignore these
errors" for missing libgif, libjpeg, etc., which was false, those were fatal
errors for the build.)
I'd like to request that a neutered FILEIO be enabled by default -
specifically, allow printf/puts by default. Also, I'd like fscommand("quit")
to always be allowed by default. I don't see how this is a security
liability... (OK, maybe not direct exposure of stdio, but if you want gnash
and ActionScript to actually be useful in a generic Linux environment, you've
got to make it capable of behaving well in a standard pipeline. That means
being able to read from stdin, and write to stdout/stderr in the default
build. And it has to be able to exit when its work is done.)
