Re: [Oorexx-devel] Encodebase64 and Decodebase64 Methods Fixed

[<rvj...@xs...>]

Hi,

yes, these also failed on the Mac. I think a new tag is a good idea, =20
especially if Mark committed the MacOSX fixes.

There is, however, one more problem that the testsuite uncovered: the =20=

queues don't work due to a shared memory problem, allocating memory =20
in RxAllocMem fails at the shmget call. I did some searching and =20
found that for MacOSX, mmap is suggested as an alternative to the so-=20
so implemented System V call. Does anyone recall how this used to =20
work in 3.3? Did it change at all? Is there, analogous to the upper =20
limit on semaphores that Solaris now uses, an upper limit settable =20
somewhere to the number of shared segments? MacOSX ships with =20
shmmax=3D8, and I would hate to require users to fiddle with this =20
number in etc/rc in order to run ooRexx with queue support (although =20
Postgresql requires this anyway).

There is also something that worries me about the makefile: it seems =20
that make clean and sudo make uninstall do not completely erase some =20
of the libraries. I had a big problem when playing around with =20
switches on the failing shmem, and I got stuck with an installation =20
that failed again with a segfault in rexx -i. When I gave up and =20
downloaded a fresh copy of 3.1.1 in the morning, re-applied my =20
previous three patches, everything was allright again. hmmm.

best regards,

Ren=E9 Jansen.
