Gdb/ddd does not seem to show stack size in backtrace.
Do you really have to compute the size of each frame 
manually looking at the function name, then its parameters
and local variables????

Is there any way to find out the maximum stack size for
all the test cases executed?  One way would be do break
at each function and examine the stack - but this not
practical for large number of test cases and functions.
Is there any way to automate such a operation in gdb/ddd?

No, too difficult !!

For sufficiently bizarre definitions of free.

There is gnorpm which seems roughly the same as kpackage, but the KDE
filemanager starts kpackage in install mode when you click on
a *.rpm file.  Gnorpm has an install mode but doesn't seem to
take filenames on the command line.

I've seen the claim that they are all GPL'd.  Didn't matter that
much to me - the iso is available for download so they are at
least free in the usual sense.

I haven't touched Debian since my first experience with dselect in
1996 or so.  I'm sure it has improved since then but I couldn't
deal with their attitude about how much better dpkg/dselect was
(when it didn't even work on a lot of systems) compared to rpm.
I'd be very surprised if that attitude every goes away to a
point where they would share rpm tools with RedHat.

The biggest problem with rpm's on debian is that the dependency databases
for rpm as compared to the dpkg/apt ones are completely incompatible.
however, debian's distributions do currently contain the 'rpm' program as
well as 'alien', so you can convert an rpm to a .deb... debian has strived
to make the dpkg system work completely, in such a way that debian's
children (stormlinux, corel, libranet, et cetera) are all fully compatible
with debian. Any of these systems could be updated to debian with little
effort through the apt-system, and That would work reversely. Also, apt
could check each of the mirror sites for each of these distributions, and
update packages from all of them just as effortlessly. (Don't argue with me, I 
had a concurrent debian-Woody/StormLinux-Rain system for a while). That's a 
level of consistency that RedHat with it's SuSE/Mandrake/Caldera spawns can't
compete.

I've had to install some rpm packages on my debian system before, and it's
not hard to do, but it annoys me just the same that nobody ELSE supports
any package format but rpm.

Fte is truly a Wonderful editor, and by far my favorite for programming use
in linux. (Hey, I never thought i'd say it, but color-coding things CAN
come in handy! ;)

Joking aside, it's a wonderful tool for programming, and plain editing. i
have my VISUAL environment variable set to it, and do much of my editing
with it, Though my quick-n-dirty(TM) edits are done in Vim.

Hello.

I've seen the question posted to this group many times now, is there a
defrag for linux? The conclusion is there is not. I'm sitting at my desk,
thinking, why not?

Is there any specific reason for defrag not being written? I mean, can
anybody tell me something that would stop me from writing one?

Simply because there is no need for a defrag. The filesystems used under
Linux (and most/all recent versions of Un*x) have automatic
defragmentation built-in in that they prevent defragmentation, as long
as the filesystem is not 100% full.
E.g. ext2 (and ufs) partition a filesystem into cylinder groups and the
filesystem code tries to allocate blocks of a file in the same cylinder
group.

Ouch, this should have been "fragmentation", obviously.

Unless you plan on porting KDE to Windows, KDE is totaly free.  It is
only the Windows version of Qt that requires you to buy a license.
And even then, you only need it if your program isn't GPL.

There is also nothing preventing someone from porting Qt to Windows as 
a seperate version from Qt Professional Edition.

Because it's not needed. Unlike FAT*, ext2 is an intelligent file
system that takes care of this problem without user intervention.

For the same reason that nobody needs to write a program that makes
Windows crash and reboot - it already happens automatically. ;-)

The specific reason is that the ext2 file system automatically keeps
files contiguous so long as disk space allows it.  Presumably this
happens when close() is called after writing to the file.

Reply-To: "Fred" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi all,

I need to force high RTS line of a serial port before sending data and
return it into normal state after transmission.

I don't want a real flow control with RTS / CTS handshaking though, but just
RTS control !

Okay, I'm going to say more :
I've a multipoint half-duplex network (something like RS-485).
So, as there is only two wires for communication, they are used as RxD by
default.
But when RTS is set, this wires are used for TxD...

Under SCO ODT, I set c_cflag to (ORTSFL|RTSFLOW)&~CTSFLOW) with ioctl and
everything works fine
but this masks are not defined in <bits/termios.h> under my RedHat 6.2 :-(

Is it possible to just redefine this mask with SCO values ?
Is there an other way to make RTS working like I need ?

Thanks in advance for all suggestions

Subject: remote vs local vs NFS kernel compile (long)
Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 03:39:27 -0700


Someone posted a question about compiling a kernel by exporting a slow
machine's kernel build tree to a faster machine.  For me the NFS export
wasn't very efficient so I began using a remote build/copy back process as
follows.  Both systems are RH 6.2 base with 2.2.16 kernels.


Architecture
============
The slow machine is a DELL 486/DX-100, ISA bus with 2-NE2000 10bT NICs,
2-DTC fast parallel ports, a 2GB IDE drive and 40MB memory used as a
firewall, IP masquerade gateway and print server.  Performance is pretty
well summed up by its hdparm(8) output:

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  7.34 seconds =17.44 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 27.40 seconds = 2.34 MB/sec

The fast machine is a slightly more modern ASUS P3B, 37MHz PCI bus, 525MHz
Celeron, 256MB/CL2/8ns SDRAM memory and a NE2000 10bT connected by a switch
to the slow machine.  Compared with the DELL:

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.28 seconds =100.00 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  3.38 seconds = 18.93 MB/sec

Key Point: The fast machine is significantly faster than the slow machine. 
6x memory, 8x disk, 10x CPU in this case.  Most likely the point of
diminishing return is about an overall 2x difference.


Compilation Method
==================
1. The remote kernel source tree is created on the fast machine's local
disk.  Ideally the location is not the local machine's /usr/src.  In my
case a partition /big/dell/usr/src is mounted on a separate disk far from
the local system's /usr/src.  Think "preemptive risk management".

2. The remote kernel is configured in the usual way:  # cd
/big/dell/usr/src/linux; make menuconfig.  Remember to select kernel
options for the remote machine.  It's easy to context slip and think in
terms of what's in your visual field (eg- the local machine) and get
confused between the two.

3. The 'make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules' steps are also
executed in the usual way.

4. The 'make modules_install' step is different.  Use the INSTALL_MOD_PATH
flag to pass the remote machine's root to make:

# make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/net/dell

The modules end up on the DELL's /lib/modules rather than locally.  Use
automount, amd or an NFS export from the remote machine.  With a 10Mb
network they are all equally slow.  Keep in mind any security issues in
your particular environment given that root needs to do the writing.

5. To move the new kernel, I again use automount to copy bzImage (as
vmlinuz) and System.map to /net/dell/boot

6. Rerun lilo on the remote system.

7. Optionally tar the source tree up and move it to the remote system. 
This keeps the kernel and source in sync in case you do need a local slow
machine compile.  rsync, a selective tar or 'find -newer' would be faster
but more complex to set up.  In general go for the least complex solution.


Results
=======
Native compile on the slow machine, local disk: ~37m
Remote compile on the fast machine via NFS:     ~11m30s

Native compile on the fast machine, local disk: ~04m45s
Copy the source tree back via NFS (optional):   ~03m45s
