Re: [fossil-users] A fossil library

There is nothing wrong with a C library handling its internal processing using setjmp/longjmp, as long as there's no C++ callbacks or any other way that C++ code that might use throw/catch can be executed from within calls to that library. It's a little bit more work than just replacing the calls

Re: [fossil-users] A fossil library

I was thinking it would be a little more than this, but perhaps: # define FOSSIL_EXIT(n) (api_exit_status-=n,longjmp(blabla)) would actually be enough. And a similar setjmp-calling macro at the beginning of each API function would be all that would be required there. ../Dave On 25 June

I really don't understand the reticence to use setjmp/longjmp to turn all of these short-cut exits into library return-to-API trampolines. It would allow you to retain all the existing fossil codebase. Rewriting the code into library form is an interesting project, but it seems like a huge

Re: [fossil-users] A fossil library

Just had a quick thought that might make the conversion to library much easier. If you have a relatively small API interface, each of the API functions could do a setjmp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setjmp.h and then the fatal error routines could longjmp back. This would give you API safety, at

Re: [fossil-users] fossil serve repolist error

A simple fix would seem to be to match *.fossil but not .fossil - in other words, require a non-empty prefix to consider it a fossil. ../Dave ​ ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org

Re: [fossil-users] workflow question

I use Fossil in 2 ways with students. 1) for each research project I have a Fossil, and all Grad students working on that project (and I) have commit access. There are few enough people that it works out. 2) for assignments, I create a Fossil per student and the student plus the marker(s) and I

Re: [fossil-users] Symlink trouble

Thanks for the examples, Andy. I use symlinks a lot. I *really* wish fossil handled them properly. This is one of my biggest beefs about fossil. The other big one is that if I set some property (in this case allow-symlinks true) and I also set the corresponding .fossil-setting I get a warning

[fossil-users] Problem on windows sync

Me again... :-) I have a student running Windows using the current fossil as of January. 1) PLINK.EXE works so there's no ssh problem. 2) She has successfully committed before. 3) She tried to commit and got a Would fork so 4) She did an update 5) then commit she got Unable to write to standard

Re: [fossil-users] Google code shutting down

Thank you Graeme for your thought-provoking post. It seems most challenges and rebuttals have played out. If anyone was mining this thread for ways to improve fossil, I think they'd see 2 things: 1) Fossil's ticket handling is not best-in-class. What are the key features that would make it at

Re: [fossil-users] How to fix parallel timeline

The repository provided to the students *did* have commits: .fossil-settings with 4+ files and 6 directories with .hold files in them. But maybe what you're saying is that something post-1.27 to support that caused other problems. ../Dave On 12 March 2015 at 10:34, Richard Hipp d...@sqlite.org

No I copied the script that creates the fossils directly into that email, and apart from the warning in red, the instructions to students are unchanged. The odd student might do something different, but most will have done only and exactly what the instructions say. ../Dave On 12 March 2015 at

[fossil-users] How to fix parallel timeline

I have several students who, through some problem while cloning the fossil I created for them, created a parallel timeline. (see screenshot) I want to merge them, but fossil merge says there's no head to merge. The commits by the student are on the right and are not tagged as trunk, but tagging
