Ruby/HPUX/syscall problem/bug

[tad.bochan]

Hello, I need a little help please.
If anyone on the list is running ruby on hpux 11+ with a ruby
version later than "ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [hppa2.0w-hpux11.11]",
could you please try the following code to see if the problem/bug
has been fixed in the later version ?.
TIA.
Tad.

sysfunc="SYS_mmap"
lib="/usr/include/sys/scall_define.h"
scall=open(lib).readlines.grep(/\s#{sysfunc}\s/)[0].split[2].to_i
puts "#{sysfunc} = #{scall}"
SYS_mmap = 71
PROT_NONE = 0
PROT_USER = 0
PROT_READ = 1
PROT_WRITE = 2
MAP_SHARED = 1
addr,len,prot,flags,ofs=0,80,PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED,0
filedes=open("shmfile","a+")
mmfptr=syscall(SYS_mmap, addr, len, prot, flags, filedes.fileno, ofs)

On my system, this fails with the following error report,

ruby pntrs.rb

SYS_mmap = 71
pntrs.rb:13: [BUG] rb_sys_fail() - errno == 0
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [hppa2.0w-hpux11.11]

Hi,

At Tue, 7 Sep 2004 22:10:57 +0900,

If anyone on the list is running ruby on hpux 11+ with a ruby
version later than "ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [hppa2.0w-hpux11.11]",
could you please try the following code to see if the problem/bug
has been fixed in the later version ?.

syscall decides that an error occurred when a negative value is
returned. Therefore it cannot be used for system calls which
return addresses.

i can't help you with the hpux problem - but have you tried to compile guy's
mmap module? i use it all the time and it's very good - seems like that would
be easier that using syscall...

cheers.

Well, I don't know for HP/UX but at least on linux you must give it a
packed struct, for example


svg% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
SYS_mmap = 90
PROT_NONE = 0
PROT_USER = 0
PROT_READ = 1
PROT_WRITE = 2
MAP_SHARED = 1
fd = open("b.rb", "a+")
vec = [0, 80, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd.fileno, 0]
mmfptr = syscall(SYS_mmap, vec.pack("IIIIII"))
printf "0x%x\n", mmfptr
svg%

svg% b.rb
0x40014000
svg%
