16 Oct 2003, David Morris, , Updated thread functions
|
ss_thread_create now returns the thread ID on success, and zero on failure.
Previously returned SS_SUCCESS or SS_NO_THREAD. User must now test the
return value to determine result.

I had to add a 'umask' opiton to the loggers (lazy and mlogger) for the new
PSI archive. One can now put a filename into the settings like:

30 Oct 2003, Stefan Ritt, , Fixed several potential problems for ODB corruption
|
I just realized that db_set_value, db_set_data, db_set_num_values and
db_merge_data do not check for num_values == 0. With such a parameter the
ODB can become corrupted, since zero length ODB entries are not allowed. I

Stephan, why did you prohibit building mana.c without ROOT and HBOOK
support? I think such a configuration is valid and should be allowed.

31 Oct 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , Disable "tab"s in xemacs
|
The default C indentation style in xemacs uses "tab" characters, violating
the MIDAS coding convention. To disable this misfeature in xemacs (emacs
too?), put this incantation in your .xemacs/custom.el file:

I added error checking to the places where we read "/runinfo/run number". In

Ok, I apologize. It's all ok. Thanks for clearifying. Concerning the assert's, it
would be nice to be able to disable them in release code. Under Windows, the
assert() is actually a macro which expands to zero if NDEBUG is defined. I

Sometimes (maybe after a client uncleanly exits?), I see phantom "open
records", for example:

I have seen the same behaviour and it annoys me, too. What I did in the past
is a "cleanup" in ODBEdit which removes these open records. I have soem code
in cm_watchdog(), which should take care of that. If a client is dead, it
