Gull 3 (Linux port) released.

[mvk]

At least mingw still gave a compiler error or warning a few years ago when crosscompiling for Windows.

It still gives that warning, but the library it links to accepts %lld. So I now have %lld in my code and this in my Makefile:

Code: Select all

win32_flags:=-Wno-format # Suppress warnings about "%lld"/"%I64d". Both work fine.

Maybe it breaks on older systems? I have no idea.

Just copy the same code to where the quit command ( about line 6792). SIGPIPE does about the same thing as SIGTERM without providing the TERMINATED 15 message . Should work for LINUX too

Yes that will work, provided Gull is terminated via the "quit" command. Otherwise if Gull is terminated by some other means, e.g. a signal, then the child processes will live on, which is not ideal. Not sure if there is a mac-specific solution like prctl for Linux.

Most likely it will, if it runs at all on systems that old.

The child processes could periodically check for their parent pid, and commit suicide if it goes away.

Nada -but Dan's suggestion will also work. Also the code I referenced in a previous post where SIGPIPE was already located - it is slightly difference and should as is. For quit , use "for i =0 ..." Where it said for "for i = 1 ..." Should stay as is (0 quits , 1 reduces thread to 1).
