Hello,
 
 
AMD's Zen 4 EPYC could get HBM upgrade to fight Intel Sapphire Rapids

And read my following writing about Intel Next-Gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon with High Bandwidth Memory:
 
Intel to Launch Next-Gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon with High Bandwidth Memory
 
"Current eight-channel DDR4-3200 memory designs, for example, have a theoretical maximum of 204.8 gigabytes per second, which pales in comparison to GPUs which quote 1000 gigabytes per second or more. GPUs are able to achieve higher bandwidths because they use GDDR.
 
At the very least, we expect the equivalent of up to 8-Hi stacks of HBM2e, up to 16GB each, with 1-4 stacks onboard leading to 64 GB of HBM. At a theoretical top speed of 460 GB/s per stack, this would mean 1840 GB/s of bandwidth, although we can imagine something more akin to 1 TB/s for yield and power which would still give a sizeable uplift."

You are missing the point that the program is launched outside
eclipse/gdb. So it runs ... Later we attach to it from eclipse. So, we
need to force it "to wait" for us to attach to it.
 
Besides, the eclipse issues a call to gdb using -nx. This means no
.gdbinit is executed.

Ok, to fix this:
Change in /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 1
to
kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0
 
Besides, one needs to put, for example, getchar(); at the beginning of
the program for it to wait the debugger attach. Then just hit enter and
the debugging should proceed normally.
 
A very weird solution, however!!

How do I do that?
Insert some sleep at the beginning, launch it and then use "Attach to
Application" in the Debug Configurations?
I'll try that, but it's weird for a thing that should be simple.

Hi!
 
I have tried lots of ideas from Google search but still didn't get any
success debugging a C program with ncurses using eclipse! I think that's
mainly because the suggestions are for older eclipse versions.
 
This should be simple. It's only a matter of being able to insert
-tty=/dev/pts/X in the gdb command line issued by eclipse, I think. X is
obtained by tty command on a pretended terminal.
 
But I can't do this. Besides the command line "issued" by eclipse uses
-nx which tells eclipse to not read any command from .gdbinit file!
 
Does anyone here have used eclipse for such purpose that could perhaps help?
 
Thank you.

You can obviously add as many bells and whistles as you like, but ultimately
all you need for a basic login system is username and password - 1 window,
2 textboxes. For the other stuff you don't need a drop down, you could just
have them pre-listed which can then be clicked on, much simpler.

I do have a soft spot for slackware - mainly the lack of the god awful
systemd - but its hardly a standard distro these days and was last updated 5
years ago so obviously not much happening these days. I doubt any of the
common distros will have those libraries installed so if you want it to be
used by others....

Have a look at the MacOS login screen. 2 textboxs, nothing else (for normal

You apparently misunderstand what I'm working with. X11 is a communications
protocol, with the "client" end implemented in Xlib and the server end implemented
in the X server.
 
X11 doesn't have "textboxes", and it's "windows" are simply rectangular regions
of the display that can be drawn on. Such a "window" can receive keystrokes and/or
mouse activity, if it chooses. I'm working at a much lower level than you think
I am.
 
As for "all you need ... is username and password", that might be true in a single
system network, but in a multi-system network, using the facilities of X11, I
also need a "hostname" to connect to (it may be "localhost", but, then again, it
may also be "desktop_computer.my.lan" or "game_server.my.lan"). For me, this
becomes a scrollable selector with three windows (a next-selection downarrow
window, a previous-selection uparrow window, and a selection output window).
 
What you are describing is a simple, one-system display manager implemented with
one of the X11 widget sets (such as GTK+, or QT or Athena), and not the more
comprehensive multi-system display manager that I'm trying to build.

Given I already told you I wrote my own window manager (along with half a
dozen games and more utilities than I can count in the last 25 years) I'm
wondering why you think I need some patronising heads up on what constitutes
X11 and Xlib?

Writing your own buttons and textboxes in raw X11 is fairly trivial *IF* you
know the API well and arn't too fussed about pretty graphics.

Or you could have a textbox with intelligent autocomplete of hostnames since
presumably you'll have a list anyway if you're planning on having a pull down.

I should imagine most display managers are little more than a window that
accepts password credentials which does credential checking and if ok simply
exec's the required WM or enviroment.

Not really. To satisfy a purely local login, you need a minimum of two input
edit fields: a Username that echoes typed characters and a password that doesn't.
If you add XDMCP into the mix (which I intend to do), you need an additional
field that allows you to pick the host to connect to from a list of eligible
hostnames. These three fields may require just one window, but more likely
require more. In my experimentation, I have 7 windows just to handle this
(a window for the Hostname, a window for the ScrollUp button, a window for
the ScrollDown button, a window to frame the ScrollUp/Hostname/ScrollDown
set, a window for the Username, a window for the Password, and a window to
frame the whole set).
 
Add to this a window for a localtime clock, a window for a terminal identification,
and a window for a DM identifier, and all the miscellaneous windows
needed to frame these presentation windows, and you have quite a number
of windows to manage.
 
Then, of course, there's the actual activities that the windows themselves
present. I have a clock, so I must format and present the time and date.
I have two text inputs, so I must write text editing code. I have a scrollable
selection window, so I must write logic to update the selection, and to handle
the ScrollUp and ScrollDown buttons.
 
And, then there's other, non-window logic, such as the logic to start the X
server (if necessary), the logic to validate usernames and passwords (both
locally and remotely), and the logic to start the user's WM of choice.
 
All in all, this project will teach me a great deal about writing X11 Xlib
application code, and about X11 in general. And that's the primary goal.

I have, at my fingertips, the Athena widget set (both Xaw and Xaw3d), and Motif,
supplied as part of the Slackware Linux distribution I work in. I also have GTK+,
GTK+2, and GTK+3. Also QT and FLTK, should I want to work in C++.

Probably Lesstif, which, as far as I remember, is a FOSS clone of Motif.
But that was along time ago, so I may have missed some happening meanwhile.

It depends how much you want your WM to do. I did it in pure Xlib and
implemented button and menu widgets (thats all thats really needed) from scratch
which frankly isn't too hard. But sure, if you want a WM thats actually useful
you'll need a proper toolkit.

Oh he's quite busy to tell the people over at the Python group that

Sorry, but I must make a correction here: I have no interest (at this time)
in writing a Window Manager (WM) client for X11. The O'Reilly X11 Xlib book
discusses WMs in detail, and includes the code for a rudementary WM implemented
in Xlib.
 
My interest lies elsewhere: specifically, in writing a Display Manager (DM)
client for X11 in Xlib. A DM provides "a graphical login manager which starts
a login session on an X server from the same or another computer." For this,
I can find no basic example, nor any reasonably complete and simple "howto",
so it gives me a reasonable challenge to learn X11 Xlib programming with.

True. And, as my skills grow, I will move up to X11 toolkits and other X11 clients.
I note, however, that most present-day toolkits present bindings in C++, and not
C, thus ruling them out as far as my development projects are concerned. This
leaves a very limited list of toolkits, with no middle ground. I could either code
for one of the heritage toolkits (Athena, Motif, etc.) and have a very, shall we
say, "antique" UI, or for one of the few modern toolkits that offer C bindings,
and have an over-architected UI. ISTM that we've lost the middle ground, as far
as C bindings are concerned.

Regarding the reinvention of the wheel, I see nothing bad in
it as it helps you understand the wheel better than *any-
body* who have never (re)invented one, and perhaps even to
improve upon the original. Since there are so many good
newsreaders for the PC and almost none for mobile devices, I
wish I you wrote a GNKSA-compliant newsreader for Android
with mobile-device specifics such as soft-reflowing of the
text to screen width while keeping it hard-wrapped at 72-80
characters internally and in the posted article.

Good luck with that (genuinely, I'm not being sarcastic). I wrote one about
20 years ago and it was a fun project to do but the problem was that even
the venerable O'Reilly XLib manuals didn't provide all the information
required as they're more geared towards developing user applications. In the
end I had to look through other code to see how stuff was done but even then
some things I never got working properly.

Hm.. All the X11Rx code is open source; it's easy enough to use the

The source of another window manager would be a lot more useful IMO as
looking at the source of the above won't show you how to use the required

Thanks for the best wishes.
 
Yah, I'm about 50 pages into the Xlib manual, and have completed (and played with)
the basicwin example. And then, I left the manual alone, except for the reference
information.
 
I quickly found that Xlib alone wasn't conducive to effective programming; I need
a widget set or toolkit. But, I haven't abandoned Xlib; I'm simply putting together,
from scratch, the sort of widgets I need to make things work.
 
I have a rudimentary edit widget, and a toggleswitch widget, and a way of abstracting
the event loop into widget/window event handlers, all cobbled together over the last
couple of weeks. I intend to build enough of a framework to familiarize myself with
the practice and pitfalls of Xlib, before I move on to other toolkits. The project
isn't really about building a DM; it's about learning Xlib. If I get a usable DM
from it, then "bonus", otherwise I will still have learned something.

Doesn't that print the address of ptrC, instead of the address of c?

SunCrypt and Ragnor Locker ransomware are said to be the first to use this tactic. But since then, other operators have also followed, including Avaddon and Darkside, the perpetrator of the Colonial Pipeline incident. From the perspective of threat actors, adding DDoS attacks to the list of ransomware services is a smart business move"

Law Enforcement Secretly Ran Part of the Dark Web, Again: What Is the Lesson Here?
 
For close to two years, the FBI ran a sting like no other. The organization clandestinely established and operated an encrypted communications platform called "ANOM" that was used by organized crime. Believing they're using a private, secure means of communication, many illicit dealers carried their operations here to conduct business.

Given how many apparent geniuses subscribe to comp.lang.c++ I'm amazed none
of them have written their own newsreader. NNTP is quite a simple protocol
after all. I did and I'm using it now. Ok, its command line, not GUI but it
does the job and I can make it do whatever I want.

Lets hope they sell/give it away first instead of just binning the entire
Dejanews archive.
 
However if you want a free news server use aioe.org. Obviously being an
apparent hobby server it might vanish too suddenly but I've been using it
for at least 10 years now and its still going strong.

There's no need to. Really, talk about wheel re-invention. Hey, here's an
idea, why not write a new OS? Who needs Linux? Who need z/OS? (etc)
 
trn (and similar, such as "tin") does everything you need, so why not use
it? You'd spend a lot of time, just to get up to the level of
functionality of trn. Why go through the hassle?

I can think of many possible reasons to (re)create an existing tool:
- the existing tools do not provide the functionality you require, or
- the existing tools do not provide the usability you require, or
- you wish to incorporate the tool's functionality into another tool, or
- the tool is unavailable on your platform, or
- you wish to learn how to write the tool, or
- you wish to attempt to improve the existing tools
 
FWIW, I'm attempting to write an X11 Display Manager using low-level Xlib calls,
not because there are no X11 Display Managers available, but because I wish to
learn about X11, and I would like a Display Manager that works the way /I/ want
it to work.
 
What's /your/ excuse, Kenny?

I get the impression from news.software.readers that when people post
about creating new newsreaders these days the are looking for features
you don't get in tin/trn. Things like working well with multiple news
servers (track reading by message ID instead of by sequential id in news
spool) or working better with local personal cached copies instead of
copies on a remote shared server.
 
I can see a bit of appeal there, but not enough to actually go through
the exercise myself.

I'd be interested to know more about that (as a cyclist myself).
 
Also, this whole sub-thread about re-inventing trn, makes me think of a
certain frequent poster who is always going on about how he's gonna
re-invent everything. Haven't heard from him in quite a while, though
(thankfully).
