I often did this to try to help the next poor soul forced to look at my

NOT  EQU   X'FF'
 NIFLAG1,NOT-BIT1

I'm not sure where I first saw that method - maybe from bits of UCC 
source code we were given in the 1980's.  I always thought those folks 
had a good, readable style of assembler coding.


As for the -16, I guessed at what it was doing but to be sure I had to 
get out my trusty hex calculator - also from the 1980's.

Why does it worry you? To the majority of C programmers it's the natural 
way of ANDing bits.


If you put your assembler programmers hat on

flag &= ~(BIT1)

isn't too dissimilar to

NI FLAG1,X'FF'-BIT1


I probably would have coded 0xfff0 but "counting nibbles" is error-prone 
also.


Much better IMO!


Perhaps (-1) << 4 is arguably the most straightforward, but it's not obvious 
either. Perhaps put into a macro?


Personally, I find that obscure.

What port scan does nd does not tell you

[Seymour J Metz]

I'm returning here to a previous security topic.

When a port scan locates an open inbound port, that does not in itself indicate 
a security problem. What it indicates is the need to audit the use of that 
port. There are two issues that need to be investigated:

 1. Is the use of the port controlled so that only authorized servers can use 
it?

 2. Are the servers using that port correctly configured?

As an example, it is okay to have an open port 25, but sendmail or whatever 
should be configured to require use of SMTPAUTH.

It's always best to get storage on the stack and avoid the heap if you 
can. z/OS C/C++ supports the GCC extensions that allow you to align 
storage using

variable attributes.

char buffer[1408] __attribute__((__aligned__(16))) ;  // only works in 
64-bit

In assembler, STORAGE provides a BNDRY= keyword, which would be fine, but
this is a Metal C program.  malloc provides no such thing.  Don's

*void realp = malloc(1408 + 15);
long ip = (long)realp & -16;

Yeah, that's clear to anyone.  Although I'm sure it could be obfuscated.

Problems:
1. Undocumented requirement to quad-word align CPOOL anchor and/or extent

2. Unable to guarantee quad-word alignment with malloc.

Ugh.

Re: Translate a ACS routine in batch

[Gadi Ben-Avi]

There is a sample in SACBCNTL called ACBJBAC2 that show to do this.

You can activate an SMS configuration via an operator command (hence also in 
batch):
SETSMS SCDS(cds dataset)
SAVEACDS(spare cds dataset)

Re: S0C6 in CSRC4RG1

[David Crayford]

I certainly wouldn't encourage anybody to use negative numbers for bit 
mask values!


Why not just write an aligned memory allocator which stashes an extra 
pointer in a known location for easy freeing?


void * aligned_malloc(size_t size, size_t align)
{
    // allocate storage area with space for an extra pointer and alignment
    void * mem = malloc(size + sizeof(void*) + (align - 1));
    // point to the start of the aligned storage
    void * ptr = (void **)((uintptr_t)(mem + (align - 1) + sizeof(void 
*)) & ~(align - 1));
    // store the address of the allocated memory prior to the aligned 
storage

    ((void **) ptr)[-1] = mem;
    return ptr;
}

void aligned_free(void *ptr)
{
    free(((void**) ptr)[-1]);
}

The lines beginning with * aren't C either . You want void *realp ...

Also, your second and third lines combine pretty well into one.

Cpool *p = (Cpool *)((long)realp & -16));

No one ever said system programming in C was pretty.

Subject: Re: S0C6 in CSRC4RG1

In assembler, STORAGE provides a BNDRY= keyword, which would be fine, but
this is a Metal C program.  malloc provides no such thing.  Don's
suggestion is doable, but it's fugly C code, and amounts to doing vascular
surgery wearing oven mitts:

*void realp = malloc(1408 + 15);
long ip = (long)realp & -16;
*Cpool p = (*CPool)ip;

Yeah, that's clear to anyone.  Although I'm sure it could be obfuscated.
Note: If you think the 1st & 3rd lines are commented out, this thread is
not for you :-)

Problems:
1. Undocumented requirement to quad-word align CPOOL anchor and/or extent
in 64-bit mode (and actually undocumented alignment requirements for all).
2. Unable to guarantee quad-word alignment with malloc.

Ugh.

Add 15 bytes to whatever length you are asking for and copy the
