Subject: DLL Problems with staticvars
|
|
Date: 10 Oct 1994 16:13:16 GMT
|
|
|
|
I'm having some problems with the DLLs under linux. It may not be the DLLs,
|
|
but a misunderstanding on my part.
|
|
|
|
Basically, I've got a static object in a library file which doesn't appear
|
|
to be properly constructed.
|
|
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
class A
|
|
{
|
|
public:
|
|
A(int a) { _a = a; }
|
|
|
|
int _a;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static A aa(4);
|
|
|
|
This code doesn't load up aa::_a with four when I load the sharable library.
|
|
At least it doesn't appear to. Are there some rules or gotchas that I need
|
|
to be aware of when using DLLs?
|
|
|
|
I do have a number of objects with static members which DO get properly
|
|
initialized, so I'm quite confused.
|
|
|
|
Is there maybe a FAQ on DLLs or something? I'm using DLL Tools 2.11.
|
|
|
|
Please email any responses to allen@chesapeake.rps.slb.com
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|

Actually, the Linux kernel supports multithreading through the clone()
|
|
system call, but I believe libc doesn't support multithreading yet.
|
|
Remember, since threads share the same address space, multithreading
|
|
is visible to libc, whereas multitasking is not.

I get this problem ALL THE TIME in DOS! The only way I can fix it

It's normally available first, then debugged then submitted into the main
|

kernel. Of course people who play with alpha test code do so at their own

Thats a bug in curses under Linux - rebuild talk with ncurses. I await the
|
|
new libc to see if the new BSD curses fixes all the bugs.

Pity they wont tell anyone how to program it so only their drivers can be

used - what you gonna do when you change OS and they dont have a driver ?

Your internet provider's router must know to send data to your Laptop
|
|
via your pentium. This is normally done by haveing 'routed' in your
|
|
machine provide RIP advertising to peer routers. It can also be done
|
|
by having your provider establish static routes to your LAN
|
|
addresses. In my similar situation, I have found it sufficient
|
|
to add '-g -s' (overkill?) flags to the routed startup in
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.net AFTER my LAN is ifconfigED. Sometimes it seems
|
|
I have to kill and restart routed after running a while but
|
|
Ive been up for a couple hours now w/o problem (at the moment
|
|
the LAN station is running IBM TCP/IP DOS

Reply-To: pp000547@interramp.com (Bill Hogan)

Hello.
|
|
|
|
I just noticed that the Pine binary I have on my pC does not
|
|
spell-check.
|
|
|
|
When I press ^T (in COMPOSE) I *instantly* get "Done spelling check"
|
|
even if the text consists of a text-string like "qwerty".
|
|
|
|
Also, after I press ^T, the ^G [set help] on the menu gets
|
|
overwritten by text of which I can only see this little bit: "or
|
|
directory" -- which looks like a piece of "No such file or directory".
|
|
|
|
Aha, I say, `pine' can't find its spelling-checker, so I go to see
|
|
what spelling-checker Pine is looking for and `man pine' tells me this
|
|
is `spell(1)'.
|
|
|
|
So, I did `man 1 spell'.
|
|
|
|
Nada.
|
|
|
|
So, I thought, I must have deleted the binary by accident somehwere
|
|
along the line.
|
|
|
|
I checked my TA CD-ROM.
|
|
|
|
I checked my sunsite.ls-lR.
|
|
|
|
I checked ftp.cdrom.com.
|
|
|
|
I can't find spell(1) anywhere.
|
|
|
|
I guess I never noticed this little quirk before because until
|
|
recently I was only using my modem to dial into a shell account, but
|
|
now I have a PPP connection.
|
|
|
|
Does everyone else already know about this?
|
|
|
|
No big deal (I use GNUS and RMAIL now, anyway) but I would still
|
|
like to be able to use Pine from time to time -- with a
|
|
spelling-checker.
|
|
|
|
Thank you!
|
|

The fact that many, *many* people seem to be using iBCS but hardly anyone
|
|
talks to me <sniff> would appear to suggest there are few applications that
|
|
have significant problems. I might be reduced to adding 286 Xenix support

soon :-(.

Let me first say that we printed out the errata and spent about
|
|
10 minutes to figure out where the installation process
|
|
should be changed. Or how do you think we got control-panel
|
|
up?

I wouldn't say that if I were you: we copied 'more' from CD
|
|
several times, including running directly from CD.

No comment on that.

Well, one more thing to report on that front. Due to seemingly
|
|
random errors with mail, we did a thorough check. We found that
|
|
'smail' was linked to CD. When CD not mounted, sendmail was just
|
|
not started, and thus no connection to sendmail could be made.
|
|
|
|
And, copying smail from CD to harddisk may not solve all the
|
|
problem, as at least one (I forgot which one) of smail-linked
|
|
programs (eg runq, sendmail) was not linked to smail, but
|
|
rather to CD, as well.
|
|
|
|
To other yggdrasil CD users, it is advisable to go
|
|
through at least /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/X11/lib, /etc,
|
|
and /usr/etc to check whether softlinks to CD are
|
|
suitable for you. This is of course based on
|
|
our limited experience of installing about 250MB of stuff
|
|
from CD to the harddisk. If you install significantly
|
|
more or less than 250MB, you may not have the concern.
