Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 17:37:58 GMT
When a hard shutdown is done on a linux machine, is there any way to
tell during the reboot process? Our software, which currently runs on
Unix/Xenix, checks the /dev/recover file for some fsck output, and if
it finds the output it reindexes all the data files and does a clean up
of any bad data found. I've read web pages, man pages, etc and can't
find a way to implement a similar functionality on Linux. Any
suggestions?

Agreed that the language does not provide the capability you describe.
However, one can easily achieve what you want.
Let's call the base class MyClass1 and the subsequent classes MyClass2,
MyClass3, and MyClass4 respectively. The implementation of MyClass4::bb
would look like the following.
ReturnType MyClass4::bb(Args args)
{
return MyClass1::bb(args);
}
This seems to be a more than adequate answer to your need, I think.
I am curious to know whether this is a concocted problem or have you
really faced such a problem?

Well, I think the lisp machines had specialized chips to evaluate lisp and were
quite proprietary. I think a modern open Lisp OS would be a good idea. It would be
a lot more stable than one, whose applications are mostly written in C/C++ and the
paradigm might be quite different from UNIX. Lisp machines and a Lisp OS are
different in the sense that lisp machines included specialized hardware. See
anything with specialized hardware in general use ? I'm not aware of the reasons
why the lisp machines didn't work out. I know people still use them but if someone
knows a bit more history, I'd be interested. It was most certainly not the fault
of the lisp language (or are people really that parenthetically challenged ? =)).

If you're using Debian, then you can install the package using
"dpkg -i <package>".
Otherwise, you can either (best way) use the program "alien" to convert the
package to whatever kind of package your distribution uses, or to extract
it manually:
# cd /tmp
# ar x <package> data.tar.gz
# tar xvzf data.tar.gz
Then move all the files into the respective places in /usr/local.

You can use exceptions in global static objects. You reserve the space,
and construct the objects in main using placement new. This is what you
do in C, and what you should do in C++.

This is the same as using c_integer_shift( myint, myshift ). It
shouldn't do anything more than shift the integer by the specified
amount, but it might. This problem doesn't normally happen in a kernel
because people who are that dumb are not usually capable of writing a
kernel ;)

Well, I can see some of your points. But, if it was programmed it C++ then
the programmer can have a choice of doing there code in c or c++ without
having to do extra work. Using C++ would have been more open.
But, C was the best choice since the C++ compiler wasn't up to snuff at the
time.

Cocheese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Many reasons.
Unix is normally written in C.
The C++ ABI is not yet stable (a major change is arriving with gcc-3.0,
for one).
Until the egcs project took off there was frankly no *good* free C++
compiler (the g++ frontend didn't do so many optimizations, and so
forth).
Many kernel developers feel that C++ does too much `behind the
programmer's back' (implicit type conversions, constructor calls,
&c). For normal development I feel that this is not true, but it may
well be true for kernel code, especially in time-critical hotspots or in
areas where races may happen, in which case it is important to be able
to *see* what's happening.
While it is true that a C++ person *can* see what is happening in C++
code, there is a vastly larger pool of C people than C++ people, and
most of the kernel developers are C people (although some are C++ people
too).

Now this is a serious misstatement. Rewriting the kernel in C++ would
likely require a redesign of some portions; C++ is not C, it is a
different language, and if you want `a C++ kernel' rather than `a C
kernel written in C++' then design changes are necessary.
This would take *years*, probably. Most think this is not worth it for
the improvements it might bring (and I emphasize `might').
And Linus thinks that multi-year development cycles are a bad idea
(witness the feature freeze coming down for Linux 2.4 already).
> but if C++ is so much faster,
It isn't, normally. Heavy template magic can cause speedups in some
areas (eg Blitz++ can be substantially faster than C code), but this
involves shuffling computation off to compile-time, which is not often
useful for a kernel (the whole essence of which is rapid response to
real-time service requests &c).
Bear in mind that C++ and C both compile to assembler. C++ is not magic.
> easier,
This is meaningless marketroid garbage, sorry. It's a substantially more
complex language than C (many say it is *too* complex) and concomitantly
harder to learn.
It's also not easier to maintain than an equivalent corpus of C code, if
the C code is well-written. There would, I think, be negigible
maintenance improvements from changing the kernel to C++; the Linux
kernel is highly modular and uses many `OO-in-C' techniques already
(encapsulation and polymorphism are there, and access control is not
exactly a priority within the kernel code).
> and stable
It's considerably less stable than C. There are as yet no free compilers
that implement the entirety of the ISO C++ Standard. gcc is close, but
until a few weeks ago when 2.95 was released it was not very close.
The ABI is still changing (and you do not want *that* in kernel mode!)
The optimizers are still changing (and if you think optimizations
applied by the compiler do not affect kernel code, you would be wrong;
kernels often have to do things `below the surface' which may be broken
by optimizations applied by the compiler. There have been several
instances of such in the Linux kernel already.)
Your reasons for switching are very poor.
(There *are* reasons to switch, but they are thoroughly unconvincing.)

I have great difficulty parsing this statement. It doesn't appear to
obey standard English grammar rules; you have one clause which tails off
without an ending.

Not in kernel code; at least not yet.

Not necessarily. Linux has always been a GNU C (*not* ANSI/ISO C!) based
program, its developers like the language, and there are 1.5 million
lines of it. So changing it would need some pretty bloody good reasons
to get past Linus... especially given that several prominent developers
have said publically that they'd fork the tree and keep working on the C
branch if the kernel ever switched to C++.
> *** BUT THEN AGAIN - ISN'T LINUX ALL ABOUT CHANGE? ***
Change with reason, where necessary. It's all about stability; kernels
have to be.
There was a massive flamewar on exactly this topic on linux-kernel a few
months back. You may want to look through the linux-kernel archives and
familiarize yourself with the arguments pro and con (mostly con, which
is a pity; I like C++ too. But unfortunately reality punctures many
dreams...)

Right, but that is awfully inconvenient. What is the point of having global
constructors then if you are going to call the constructions from main?
Also, how do you reserve the space with guaranteed alignment?
You can't just do things like:
static char space_for_object[sizeof MyClass];
You might as well then just use the regular new operator then, which is
what is often done in practice.
What you could do is have a default constructor that does nothing to
the object, and can be safely called at global construction time. Then
when you do the placement new, you use a different constructor, the
real one that does work and can throw. (And to be totally correct,
you should call the in-place destructors of all the objects first).
If you are going to go to all this trouble, you might as well just not use a
constructor for doing the initialization. Have a default construtor that
doesn't do anything heavy such as acquisition of resources. And then have an
initialize() method which either returns false or throws or whatever. Then you
don't have to mess around with crap like placement new.
I find that in practice it's easier just to dynamically allocate the global
object. That way you have control about the timing of its construction,
and can catch exceptions and all that jazz.

Funny you should say that, given that the shift operators are used for

Sorry, but the driver for this card is $30. I have it in my box, and it
works great with this drive, but you have to pay for it.
HTH,
Aaron

Subject: Looking for comparable apps in Linux from OS/2
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 20:38:32 GMT
I'm making the switch from OS/2 to Linux, and *really*
would like some similar functionality with the following
apps:
A mail client as functional as PMMail (nested folders,
remote control)
A news client as good as ProNews (sigh, I know this one
might be a long shot...)
A slim browser that handles pages well (I never did like
Netscape 2.02 for OS/2 much and Opera never panned out...)
Configuration tools (I don't need my hand held, but I also
don't have a lot of time wading through scripts...).
Since I'm coming from OS/2, GUI versions of the above are
preferable (I'm not afraid of CLI, just like it less than a
decent GUI <<whoops, flame bait>>.)
Thanx.
