|
I agree with some of the others here that the solution probably lies in external contributions from wise members of the community.

It's still a race.

|
Ditto.
|
|
A program exits when main exits.
|

That's just an error I will fix.

|
You could just drop the adjective.
|
|
I recommend that you fix your code now and be ready for the next release.
|
|
No.
|
|
I accept the argument about regularity but not the one about utility.
|
|
Every acme user around here uses the plan9port version.
|
|
There is no general solution but we are aware of the desire.

|
I'm not sure how that helps.

It's clumsy, I know, although it could be (and will one day be) done a little better.
|
|
I don't know what that means.
|
|
But what are you really trying to do?
|
|
I thought of a few ways but I refuse to write them down for fear people will use them.
|
|
It may be that another approach altogether is better.
|
|
Your assurances are incorrect.
|
|
When I look at your code I see a lot of unnecessary repetition.
|
|
Exactly.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Poor choice. You went wrong at step 1.
|
|
Interesting idea, though.
|
|
if crypticness is the complaint, remember you're talking about a C compiler.

Thought I'd post this to a DOOM group.

There's nothing in computing that can't be broken by another level of indirection.

It's all happening.

I prefer deskside computers over laptops because they're much harder to throw in frustration when dealing with incompetent web sites.
|
|
I hear that C++0x is a substantially upgraded language.
|
|
People get annoyed when they must write two lines of code instead of one, but I don't. It's called programming.

This discussion isn't pin-headed enough yet.

I don't see what the fuss is about.

Thanks.

Legal terminology is not the best medium for subtlety, so I've asked our lawyers for clarification.
|
|
Give us your address and we'll send Ken out to fix it. That's our technique.
|
|
This won't work.
|
|
Weekends are quiet, good for updating big software packages.
|
|
Web access is very important. Web browsers are very useful. But if you stop there, you're missing a lot of opportunity.
|
|
I'll send a fix in a while.
|
|
Plan 9 is non-standard and proud of it.
|
|
Perhaps I should explain better.
|
|
Here's a short version: Avoid complexity.
|
|
Why not?
|
|
Mea culpa.
|
|
Sorry, guys, but it's not quite a pure PC world, at least not yet.
|
|
True again.
|
|
This fixes your example, anyway.
|
|
Ptys were old and obsolete the day they were invented.
|
|
Kick back, relax. It's the information age.
|
|
Speaking as the portraitist, I believe I captured the personality rather well.

You should delete some mail.
|
|
Algorithms everywhere, and not a byte to send.
|
|
This is idiocy.

|
Of course it does.
|
|
I've been thinking of sending this information to 9fans for a while.
|
|
I'm a little disturbed by these questions.
|
|
This question has been answered.
|
|
No, there is no solution.
|
|
Other systems claim to have solutions but they are exaggerating.
|
|
I was trying to tell you the way to do it.
|
|
Awful.

Those days [of "one tool doing one job well"] are dead and gone and the eulogy was delivered by Perl.

People admire complexity.

|
Once idea that comes to mind is to show us a reproducible example.
|
|
The API has indeed changed.
|
|
I suppose the documentation should mention this.
|
|
I'm a radical here, but I think if a machine is paging, you've lost.
|
|
So again, why?
|
|
I guess I'm dim.

In the good old days, copyright notices meant something.
|
|
ouch
|
|
It doesn't matter what the bug is, someone will depend on it.

|
We're still working on it.

|
Write less code.
|
|
Would a Plan 9 user please provide an accurate status report of the state of the Go port to the system?
|
|
I wasn't asking about 9front.
