...ows where precise garbage collection is relatively straightforward (as long as FPO is disabled). Walking the stack is a simple bit of pointer chasing and some fixups. I've had a working GC on Win32 for years and actually posted here in the past about my experience with .gcroot and other related miscellany involved in building a real GC with LLVM. Recently I've decided to begin moving the language to 64-bit native, and this has posed a few interesting challenges. The most pressing issue for me now is that stack walking is very different on Win64. It is not immediately clear to me if LLVM (3.8 o...

An ext3 update which also applies to linux-2.4.16 is available at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ Quite a lot of miscellany here. It would be appreciated if interested parties could please test it in preparation for sending upstream. Thanks. Changelog: - Merged several ext2 sync-up patches from Christoph Hellwig - Drop the big kernel lock across the call to block_prepare_write. This was causing excessive content...

Hi! I'm going to build a maildir-based mailserver with a ~56 gb mail-partition. What blocksize/bytes-per-inode/number of inodes should i use (i don't want to ran out of inodes and don't want to sacrifice too much space for filefragments)? Is there a drawback when lowering the blocksize/increasing the number of inodes (except the maximum filesystem size)? The inodes used by a file is

...ls and guidelines to smooth over inconsistencies between the two implementations of the S language. The tools will include both S language and C/C++ support. It's starting off with the functions that access objects (get, etc.), a couple of tools for dealing with language objects, and a bit of miscellany. More to come shortly. If you're experienced or interested in writing software targeted to both R and S-Plus, please take a look at the package. It's at a very early stage, and comments, suggestions of what should be in there, or (especially) contributions are very much needed. -- John...

I'm just getting started, and getting quite a strange result. I've been able to mount my (login hal) Linux home directory as E: on my w95 system, but when I try to "smbmount //isdn2/AMDAHL-WORK /mnt/amdahlwork", where /mnt/amdahlwork is an empty directory on Linux, isdn2 is defined in /etc/hosts as 192,168.1.2, the address the W95 box uses, and AMDAHL-WORK is the name under

Is there an R function that does canonical correspondence analysis. Can it be done using the VR function corresp()? If not, how hard it be to write R code to do it? I am a population biologist with long but patchy programming experience in C, Smalltalk, Java and other languages. Thanks, Patrick Foley patfoley at csus.edu

I've had ipf working on a few 5.3 servers for quite awhile. Not too long ago some developers had to do some coding work and were coming from dynamic IP's. I (reluctantly) opened up SSH to the world. Immediately I started seeing the attacks where bots of some sort would try to break in with a variety of different users. So, I (thought) I closed it up again and told the developers to use a

This patch supplies software IEEE floating point support. The comment from the patch reproduced below says all there is to say. This patch contains the prior "cleanup" patch; please don't apply that one. Please let me know of any bugs. It is tested reasonably well, but until I put together random tests it's hard to have 100% confidence. Neil. /* A self-contained host- and
