 26 Nov 2009, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, mdump max number of banks and dump of 32-bit banks
|
By request from Renee, I increased the MIDAS BANKLIST_MAX from 64 to 1024 and
after fixing a few buglets where YB_BANKLIST_MAX is used instead of (now bigger)
BANKLIST_MAX, I can do a full dump of ND280 FGD events (96 banks).

30 Jul 2010, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, macos 10.6 success

As of svn rev 4794, midas builds, runs and should be fully usable on MacOS 10.6.4. Previous revisions did
not compile due to assorted Linuxisms and did not run because of a sizeof() problem in ss_gettid(). Also
one of the system header files (mtio.h?) present in MacOS 10.5 vanished from 10.6.

31 Aug 2010, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Experimental POSIX shared memory support
|
As of svn rev 4807, src/system.c has an experimental implementation of POSIX shared memory. It is
similar to the already existing implementation of MMAP shared memory, but uses POSIX shm_open()
instead of directly mmapping the .xxx.SHM file.
