19 Apr 2017, Stefan Ritt, Bug Report, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, stop form odbedit broken
|
ODB name lengths (the name of a key) are limited to 256 characters, the length of strings in the ODB should NOT be limited. At some point we wanted to have
complete web pages inside the ODB,
which for sure are longer than 256 characters. While this was the idea, I see now that db_paste & co. is hopelessly broken. To fix it, everything should |

> Fixed a small buglet, now saving and reloading odb in the old ".odb" format will silently truncate all overlong strings to 256 bytes. (I think it always
did that).

Dear Francesco,
Your error (No route to host) typically means that you have a network problem outside of MIDAS. Your computer has to "find itself" and

Just some thought for discussion:
Rather than "spicing up" the MIDAS library here and there with C++ objects such as std::string, wouldn't it make more sense to "cleanly" wrap an ODB value |

Thanks for documenting this in detail. A few suggestions:
- is it really necessary to call odbedit three times? Maybe two or even three functions can be merged. Like you call odbinit, it checks if the environment |

The sizeof checks were originally invented by KO to check for binary compatibility between processes attached to the same ODB and event buffers. So if a
compiler generates different structure sizes due to different padding, one would see that immediately. I wonder however if the absolute numbers make sense |

I agree that the binary compatibility checks are crucial. But I kind of find it strange if one gets an assert failure some where if one tries to change
MAX_CLIENTS. It is then not straight
forward to relate both things and understand the consequences. That's why I put a comment next to the definition of MAX_CLIENTS saying:

The type INT has been defined in 1989 when I for the first time sent data between a 16-bit MS-DOS computer and a 32-bit VAX computer (good old
days!). At that time, uint32_t was not available at all. So much for the historical background.
