[cmucl-imp] motifd isn't 64-bit kosher
by Richard M Kreuter 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

Greetings, I believe it turns out to be a fluke that a 64-bit motifd works anywhere: the server passes out 32-bits of a pointer as external IDs for instances of a handful of types [1]. On a 64-bit machine, the instances' addresses might not fit in a 32-bit address, though. (In fact, on my FreeBSD/amd64 machine, when I run the example from the documentation, the first shell widget always gets created at #x8045d8900, so motifd hands out #x45d8900, and then attempting to create the second widget with the shell as parent crashes the server.) Seems like there are two options: A. Change the wire protocol to accomodate 64-bit integers. B. Synthesize 32-bit identifiers for instances of the offending types. Option B seems simpl [1] I think the complete list is AcceleratorTable, Atom, FontList, TranslationTable, Widget, and sometimes XmString.

ILC 2014 - International Lisp Conference "Lisp on the Move" August 15-17 2014, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada Sponsored by the Association of Lisp Users In cooperation with: ACM SIGPLAN http://ilc2014.iro.umontreal.ca/ Latest News: * Only 4 days left before the early registration deadline! * Registration is now open. See http://ilc2014.iro.umontreal.ca/registration.php * Invited speakers announced. Christian Queinnec, Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant, Stefan Monnier, Marc Battyani. Scope: Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a major influence for almost all programming languages and for all sufficiently complex software applications. The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. This year's focus is directed towards integrated solutions, including mobile computing. The conference also provides slots for lightning talks, to be registered on-site every day. The full programme is available here: http://ilc2014.iro.umontreal.ca/program.php Important Dates: - July 14, 2014: Early registration deadline - August 15, 2014: Conference starts Organizing Committee: General Chair: Marc Feeley (Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada) Programme Chair: Didier Verna (EPITA Research lab, Paris, France) Local chair: Marc Feeley (Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada) Programme Committee: Charlotte Herzeel, IMEC, ExaScience Life Lab, Belgium Dave Herman, Mozilla Research, USA Greg Pfeil, Clozure Associates, USA Irène Anne Durand, LaBRI University of Bordeaux, France Jim Newton, Cadence Design Systems, France Kuroda Hisao, Mathematical Systems Inc., Japan Matthew Might, University of Utah, USA Nicolas Neuss, Friedrich Alexander Universitat, Germany Ralf Möller, TUHH, Germany Sam Tobin-Hochstadt, Northeastern University, USA William Byrd, University of Utah, USA Contact: ilc14-organizing-committee at alu.org For more information, see http://ilc2014.iro.umontreal.ca/ -- Resistance is futile.
