output capability names, Cap name or Tcap code instead of characterstrings?

songbird — 2012-05-17T05:05:17

  hello and thank you so much folks for your work on 
curses/ncurses.  Thomas, Sven, many others too.

  my question is if there is a flag for compiling that 
would tell ncurses to output the token code, capability 
name string, Cap name or Tcap code instead of the 
characters?  preferably in an easily parsed format,
i use "{" and "}" around them, but it can be any
enclosure.

  this would save me a lot of time and let me write code 
that is more portable when capturing/scanning/processing
output from a ncurses using source code project of any 
kind.  and it would seem that there must be some way to 
generate a token name for purposes of debugging ncurses, 
but i've not dug into the source code yet.

  my current use is in processing the output of Rogue and
Rog-O-Matic, but I can see the wider use case for having
the tokens returned instead of the characters.  and yes,
i do know about trace mode, but i suspect that puts out
too much.

  it would mean i wouldn't have to write a scanner for all
of these obscure character strings i don't understand well 
and could support things much more easily.  writing a 
scanner instead that parses based upon the names or codes 
would be much easier.

  currently i'm writing scanners for xterm just to see what 
Rogue/Rog-O-Matic produce in the course of tracking down bugs.
my scanners output the codes recognized enclosed in braces
and anything not seen is passed through as text.  works well 
but is by no means as complete or correct as what would 
actually come out of ncurses itself.

  as an aside, it is funny how some things come around, ages 
ago i enjoyed playing rogue and always wanted to see rog-o-
matic run.  now i have time to tinker and figure some of 
this out so i get to see how it all works together.

  cheers and thanks again,


  songbird

[PATCH] Include stdlib.h in sample program

Paul Waring — 2012-04-26T16:42:44

I tried building the sample program supplied in the ncurses 
documentation and got the following warnings:

$ gcc intro.c -lncurses
intro.c: In function ‘finish’:
intro.c:53:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in 
function ‘exit’ [enabled by default]

[gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3)]

This warning can be fixed by including stdlib.h, which declares the 
exit() function. I've attached a short patch which updates the 
documentation.

Thanks,

Paul

wgetch_events issue

bwgz — 2012-04-23T04:42:44

I've been experimenting with a headless system and ncurses has been
nice quick and easy way to create some of my programs. One of the
things I need is the ability include my own input events into ncurses
event loop. Given that I'm using a file descriptor to fetch my input
the wgetch_events function looked like it had a lot of potential. In
the end it gave me what I wanted but I had to change, dare I say fix,
the code.

I pulled the 5.9 release, configured it with "configure
--enable-wgetch-events", and built it. When I ran my test program
wgetch_events didn't catch inputs from the file descriptor I passed to
it. After some debugging I found that the following code at line 391
in lib_twait.c was the problem.

#ifdef NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
    if (evl) {
        evl->result_flags = 0;
        for (n = 0; n < evl->count; ++n) {
            _nc_event *ev = evl->events[n];
            if (ev->type == _NC_EVENT_TIMEOUT_MSEC) {
                long diff = (returntime - starttime);
                if (ev->data.timeout_msec <= diff)
                    ev->data.timeout_msec = 0;
                else
                    ev->data.timeout_msec -= diff;
            }

        }
    }
#endif

If evl is set, which it is if you're sending in your own file
descriptors, then evl->result_flags is always set to 0. That wipes out
how it may have been set earlier. In my case it was being set to
_NC_EVENT_FILE_READABLE earlier in the function. When it hits this
code that gets wiped out. And then down stream when the program gets
back to my code it isn't notified that input actually occurred.

Looking at the code I concluded that lib_twait.c should be setting
evl->result_flags only if one of the "ev's" is of type
_NC_EVENT_TIMEOUT_MSEC. I think the code should look something like
this.

#ifdef NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
    if (evl) {
        for (n = 0; n < evl->count; ++n) {
            _nc_event *ev = evl->events[n];

            if (ev->type == _NC_EVENT_TIMEOUT_MSEC) {
                long diff = (returntime - starttime);
                if (ev->data.timeout_msec <= diff)
                    ev->data.timeout_msec = 0;
                else
                    ev->data.timeout_msec -= diff;

                evl->result_flags |= _NC_EVENT_TIMEOUT_MSEC;
            }

        }
    }
#endif

This code only sets evl->result_flags if in fact a "ev" represents a
time out. And when set the value OR's it into the variable.

My code now runs as expected and I'm able to process input from the
devices associated with the file descriptors I pass into
wgetch_events.

Having made this change I wanted to know if it's something that should
be put into the main code line. If so, please let me know and I'll
post a diff.

Error at compilation of ncurses 5.8 in windows 32bits ...

daniel silva ferreira bruno — 2012-04-08T15:35:52

Hi,

I found an error at the compilation of ncurses 5.8 library in mingw&msys, ms windows 32bits. I found it at the compilation of Ada Library. 

It occurs at the compilation process in the stage:


gcc -gnatpg -c -I.\ -I. -I../src -I./../src -O3 -gnatpn -I. -I- C:/MinGW/lib/gcc
/mingw32/4.6.2/adainclude/s-imgllu.adb

gnatlink tour.ali -L../../lib -lform -lmenu -lpanel -lncurses -L../lib -lAdaCurs
es

Here, it appears many lines of errors.

Furthermore:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gnatlink: error when calling C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe
gnatmake: *** link failed.
make[2]: *** [tour.exe] Error 4
make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/ncurses-5.8/Ada95/samples'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/ncurses-5.8/Ada95'
make: *** [all] Error 2


End of description of the error.

I suppose that this error is related with the configuration of Ada compiler for ncurses 5.8 library. I think it because I found a warning at the compilation process of ncurses 5.0 library.

It is at "configure process" of  ncurses 5.0 library, in mingw&msys, ms windows 32bits and it occurs at:


checking if GNAT works... yes
configure: warning: Ada95 applications will not link properly with static libraries


Furthermore, the "configure process" does not append any rules for normal and debug models for all "Ada95 make process".

Program started by bash works,program started by rc.local shows problems

Hohl, Gerrit — 2012-03-15T11:44:27

Hello everyone,

I'm using Java and the Java Curses Library (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacurses/ ) which is some kind of
wrapper for the ncurses library. If I start my program from the bash, I
don't have any problems. As my program is some kind of setup program, I
want to start it from the /etc/rc.local on an Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32-bit
system (libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 depending on lic6 >= 2.4). But
if I do that the program shows some odd problems: The "rendering" of the
screen is not correct. The shadow of my windows is on the left border on
the screen instead of in the column before the last column. And a few
other things are also upside-down.

I already opened a bug at the Java Curses Library website:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3504280&group_id=37998&
atid=420913
There I also added a screenshot which shows the problem.

As I didn't know if the problem was caused by that library or the
ncurses library, I did some debugging: I created a log containing every
move() and addch() (means the y and x coordinates as well as the
character which was drawn). I compared the logs from the program startet
from the bash and the program started by the rc.local. They were
identical - in size and content. Means the Java Curses Library does the
absolutely identical ncurses calls in both cases. So I guess it is a bug
or problem within the ncurses or one of the libraries that are used by
it.

Did someone have similar trouble in the past? Is there any bugfix or
workaround available?

Regards,
Gerrit

Problem with NCurses

mickalin — 2012-03-13T20:25:45

Hi,

I have installed ncurses 5.8. I have a written a ncurse app program which I
put on device.

I connect to the device using ckermit from linux server... using CONNECT cmd
etc which sort of opens a terminal...

I have two problems.

(1)It is not able to display the ncurse "gui" because the screen size is too
small. It always says this even though I resize the window manually of the
terminal running the ckermit ...I then created a small version of the
program which prints a smaller gui and it works fine (so I know that It will
work if the size of window it sees changes...). How can I get it to work so
that it will use the full screen size when window is resized? Is this some
setting in ckermit? any help much appreciated.

(2) The second problem is that my program is printing borders around each
window. However it borders appear as garbage with something like a series
'?' instead of what should be a line. Do I need to include a setting when I
am compiling the ncurses lib.

I am using the shared lib on the device ... libnc...so

Error when cross-compiling for 64-bit Linux

Stephen Kent — 2012-03-13T18:32:59

I'm running 32-bit Gentoo Linux, and I'm trying to compile ncurses for
64-bit using a crossdev environment. This has worked in the past with
ncurses 5.7-r7, but ncurses 5.9 fails to compile at make_hash.
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc says "error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64
instruction set."

I've made a post about this on the Gentoo Forums as well, with some more
details ( http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-914814.html ).

I can't figure out what's wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? Let me know if
you need more information.

Thanks,

Stephen

mvwaddch error on windows with 1 column

codeunit — 2012-03-05T20:50:13

Hello the following simple code produces ERR in mvwaddch

#include <ncurses.h>

char errorstring[100];
void die()
{
  endwin();
  printf ("%s\n", errorstring);
  exit(0);
}

int main()
{
  if (initscr() == NULL){
    printf ("error in initscr at %s:%d\n",  __FILE__, __LINE__);
  }
  WINDOW *parent;
  if ((parent = newwin(5,1,0,0)) == NULL){
    sprintf (errorstring, "newwin at %s:%d\n",  __FILE__, __LINE__);
    die();
  }
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<5; ++i)
  {
    if (       mvwaddch(parent, i, 0, 'n')  == ERR){
      sprintf (errorstring, "mvwaddch at %s:%d\n",  __FILE__, __LINE__);
      die();
    }
  }
  die();  
}

The problem comes up when i==4, i.e. mvwaddch prints the last character.
When I change newwin to (5,2,0,0) there is no ERR.
Apparently it is an issue of printing the last character of a window.

Cheers.

+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
  loops.
+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
  calls to setupterm().
+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
  debug-trace.
> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
  runtime linker
+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
  fallback entries
