similar to: [nbdkit PATCH v3 0/3] bind .zero to Perl

Begin the language binding followups to my new .zero callback, since Rich was indeed correct that we want them. I'm more familiar with python and perl (at least to the point that I was able to modify the appropriate example files and prove to myself that the bindings worked), so I've started with those. I'm less familiar with ruby and ocaml, so I've left those for tomorrow (it

Similar to python and perl. But MUCH easier (especially considering that this is the first time I've every tried to run Ruby). I even had fun making set_error() polymorphic.

Fix some things I noticed while reviewing v1, and follow Rich's idea to add a new nbdkit_set_error() utility function with a binding for Python users to request a particular error (rather than being forced to live with whatever stale value is in errno after all the intermediate binding glue code). I could not easily find out how to register a C function callable from perl bindings, and have

And fill out most of the missing bits of the API. Rich.

v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00153.html v2: - Fix implementation of can_cache. - Add implementation of can_fua. - Add a very thorough test suite which tests every command + flag combination.

This cleans up the existing code base with regards to implicit use of errno from language bindings, then rebases the previous work in python on top of that. I'm still playing with the perl bindings, but got further after reading 'perldoc perlembed'.

As mentioned in my reviews, I wonder if we should make our python callbacks look a bit more Pythonic by having kwargs added for each new flag that we want to expose. The idea was first floated here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-April/msg00108.html Note that with my proposal, there is no need for a python script to expose a global API_VERSION variable; new flags are added

v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00163.html I pushed patch 1 (with spelling fix), patch 4 and patch 5 since those were previously ACKed on the list. Differences in v3: - Add error checking to PyModule_AddIntConstant. - Use API_VERSION constant instead of function. - Add max API version supported to --dump-plugin output. - Print API_VERSION selected by

v3 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-November/msg00209.html In v4: - Rebase on top of current master. Includes various fixes and updates required because of Nir's patches that went into master. - Fix api_version() -> API_VERSION in patch 2 noted previously on the mailing list. Rich.

First out of our four language bindings to add FUA support (for reference, I added 'zero' support for python, perl, and ruby back in 1.1.13, then Rich had to add it for ocaml in 1.1.20). I tested this heavily under python 2, but for now only compile tested under python 3; I plan to do further testing there and make any tweaks if necessary. I wrote patch 5 early on, but then realized I

When a highly multi-threaded program such as nbdcopy encounters an error, there is a race condition in the library which can cause an assertion failure and thus a core dump: (1) An error occurs on one of the threads. nbdcopy calls exit(3). (2) In lib/errors.c, the destructor calls pthread_key_delete. (3) Another thread which is still running also encounters an error, and inside libnbd the

This version simply removes the call to pthread_key_destroy. It fixes the problem and allows us to leave the asserts alone so we can still catch real errors. Of course this leaks pthread_key_t in the case where you dlclose() the library. glibc has a limit of 128 thread-specific keys (and the first 32 are somehow "fast" in a way I could quite follow), so that's a thing.

Hi, I am a new user of R and am still trying to figure out which statements do which functions and am looking for a jump start. I have a dataset where the data were collected as ten minute counts where the number of new individuals within a species was recorded as cohorts within 3 separate time intervals within the ten minute count persiod. Each row of data therefore follows a format like

See patch 1 for rationale.

Hi, I am running an up to date centos5.9 system. The package, net-snmp-devel-5.3.2.2-20.el5 Contains among oteher things: /usr/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so When I link with this library (-lnetsnmpagent), I get a bunch of unresolved references.: My Google searches has not given me hints to where the C to Perl library exists. I would guess that yum would have loaded the correct package as a
