Hi Devs, I've been doing some deep code diving and I seem to have found a discrepancy between code comments and reality. This difference could hint at a bug or performance degradation, but I doubt it. I thought to ask to get clarification. In syslinux/core/mem/malloc.h, the comments and definition for arena_header, ARENA_PADDING and free_arena_header are: /* * This structure should be a

In Syslinux-5.00, is the goal that the core and .c32 modules alike will use the same heap? There is a bug I am thinking about: - QEmu with 1024 MiB RAM - Syslinux 4.06 - .c32 can realloc() up to 1013 MiB - QEmu with 1024 MiB RAM - Syslinux 5.00-pre9 - .c32 can realloc() up to 45 MiB I am wondering if there's a maximum-allocation-size being hit, or if it's actually a bug I should look

From: Brett Walker <brett.walker at geometry.com.au> Remove a discrepancy between code comments and the definition for arena_header, ARENA_PADDING and free_arena_header. When the size of int and pointer are both 32-bits; and compiled with DEBUG_MALLOC undefined; the following are true: sizeof(arena_header) == 16 and sizeof(free_arena_header) == 56. To correct this, the type of _pad needs

Hello,I'm going to apply the Gsoc, and I'm interested in this idea. But I'm not quite understand the exact meaning of " Dynamic linker/loader for modules ". Does it mean to implement a ELF loader to dynamic linking or make the COM32 file being enable dynamic linked like ELF? Thank you for answering!

Hello, I just received a serious bug report from Stas Kysel of rPath (with a great test case); it appears that deleted files can confuse extlinux so that it misses files. This is bad. As a result, I have pushed out 3.63-pre3, and intend to make a 3.63 final shortly. I would appreciate any help testing this. Furthermore, I would like to finish the SDI booting module, but I have yet to

Hello list, I've been playing with com32 programs lately and I've come across a a problem with the realloc function in libcom32. The code that rounds up the size looks to be missing a '~' operator, resulting in it truncating every request to a size of 0-15 bytes. The little patch below fixes it up to match the corresponding line in malloc, which makes it work for me. K. diff

The old extent merging code down underneath "ocfs2_mark_extent_written()" can't merge extents between leaf blocks. This patch resolve this. So that a large unwritten extent which has been split up with a bunch of writes can be merged together once all unwritten regions have been written to. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Add more comments for some functions which is more complicated

This series adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified. If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy

Hello, I'm trying to run the "TrueSync Desktop" app (the equivalent of Hotsync for non-Palm handhelds, but without any Linux port, unfortunately), and I get the following error: err:heap:HEAP_ValidateInUseArena Heap 40360000: in-use arena 403e7eb8 next block has PREV_FREE flag wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...

Hi guys, i'm not going to have time to work on this for a month or two, so i figured i'd post it. This patch 1. reworks the andersen's implementation to support field sensitivity (though field-sensitive constraints are not generated directly yet), and uses it to do indirect function call support. 2. Rewrites the solver to be state of the art in terms of speed. kimwitu++ used to take

Excuse me for what I'm sure is a stupid beginner's question, but I've given up trying to find the answer to this question from the help, RSiteSearch, or any of the usual places. I have a list that looks like this: >myList $first [1] "--" "18" "8" "32" $second [1] "--" "--" "40" "54" I want a

Well, after having given up uppon serial communication from hotsync.exe to the Palm Vx, I decided to try network communication instead. I am able to perform a complete hotsync even with Netscape Calendar synchronization. I am not doing anything special to make it work but it is not straight forward, neither. I start hotsync.exe, configuring it for network access only. Then I start pi-nredir

http://kegel.com/wine/qa/#app is a list of "must-have" Windows applications for various vertical markets (at the moment, just k12 schools and churches). These are the Windows apps that really keep a school, church, or other organization from switching to Linux. I'm hoping that this list will help focus Wine QA on those key Windows apps, and thereby increase the number of groups who

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Here are the patches that I've got queued up based on the very helpful feedback I received from people testing Syslinux 5.00-pre9. Unless anyone has any concerns these will make it into Syslinux 5.00-pre10. Matt Fleming (9): pxe: Don't call open_config() from the pxe core ldlinux: Print a warning if no config file is found

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This is a series of patches that, * shrink the core by moving things into an ldlinux ELF module * begin wiring up some of the C versions of various functions The core now only contains essential code and loads the ldlinux module to do everything else, like providing a command line interface and loading kernels. The config file parsing

What was removed was a single if...return check, which according to the information above makes sense. If it didn't make sense, the other Wine/CodeWeavers DirectX developers would have commented on it. There are various checks to
