- remove ss_tape_get_blockn from lazylogger.c
- add ss_tape_get_blockn to system.c
- add ss_tape_get_blockn prototype into midas.h

I have added ROOT support to midas\examples\experiment\makefile.nt. To
compile the example experiment under Windows, one needs

|
Added ss_create_thread support for Linux in system.c
Added pthread library in main make file |
|
26 Jul 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , more ODB checks in src/odb.c
|
Add more checks to db_validate_key() for pkey->total_size, item_size and
num_values. Automatically correct total_size to be item_size*num_values (we
saw this corruption and tested this fix).
|
|
26 Jul 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , use "odbedit -C" to connect to corrupted ODB
|
Add switch "-C" to odbedit to allow it to connect to corrupted ODB. Then,
depending on corruption, the user can manually remove or correct the
corrupted entries. Also, some corruption is automatically fixed by "odbedit"

|
29 Jul 2003, Konstantin Olchanski, , Have to link with -lpthread?
|
It appears that all midas applications are now required to link with the
pthreads library even if they do not use threads. This is caused by a
pthread_create() call from ss_thread_create() in system.c.
|
 30 Jul 2003, David Morris, , Have to link with -lpthread?
|
The change is required to support implementation of pthreads in the Linux
compile of Midas. This was added recently. I believe pthreads is also needed
for ROOT based compiles.

I just realized that db_set_value, db_set_data, db_set_num_values and

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
