There's also the non-CRT rear-projection TVs, though, which can be absolute beasts.

Yes.
My interpretation of that comment is UNIX suddenly became a non-preemptive mutli-tasking multi-user OS that say, "Dear process, can you pretty please yield execution time? K thnx bye."
I clearly have no idea WTF that comment is supposed to represent. OSes are hard, let's go shopping?

Status: Unreal Engine apparently has some sort of path limitations. Yeah, that's right, if your folder paths are too long, it won't build. Because DOS.

@Tsaukpaetra If you can use UNC paths, they can be much longer.

Yeah. IIRC it totally fails to even start if I do that. Because Unreal.

I don't know what a
savu
is, or au_ssav
is. But I'm pretty sure I understand perfectly what it's saying. Instead of just returning from one level, it's returning from a function that's a few frames further up the stack. In effect, returning not just from that function, but prematurely returning from one or more functions above it -- without executing any of the code that would normally execute in those functions after your deepest level returned, before they returned also.What I don't understand is why it'd do that, because it seems like it's very definitely .

Meh, I'd say the real fuckup was not having your remote disallow force pushes. Unless your remote is a fork of the shared repo, in which case E_NOT_A_BAD_FUCKUP as you just restore your fork from that state.
git pull --rebase origin master
-> build -> test ->git push -f
-> merge pull request workflow good.Remote was set to disallow force push.
I turned it off.
Again, 1am. And I was sure I was correct

The code immediately surrounding this is doing register manipulation. Or rather it is doing manipulation of the values saved on the stack so that the
return
will load them. You need to also understand the code innewproc
andexpand
to really get what's going on.Delving into old code is fun. Also fun is looking at how C itself has evolved…
rp->p_flag =& ~SSWAP;
We don't write operators quite like that any more, and with good reason. :)
My sense of fun is a bit unusual I guess.

Cursory research indicates... I'm using the wrong terms? The device itself is detected, but I can't access the Bluetooth properties Windows or anything at all...

Surely that's a bug where someone typoed a bit clear? If
=&
used to be a real operator, how did the compiler distinguish betweenx =& y
andx = &y
? Any sane compiler would error that line for trying to take the address of an rvalue, but they might not have had a sane compiler back then.

-
@dkf Ah, fair enough then, I missed the point. Was the weirdness actually achieving something or just a typo?

@clatter said in The Official Status Thread:

The file was part of the core of an early Unix. The code in interest was marking a suspended-because-not-in-memory process as runnable again (as it had been swapped back in; no paging in those days). The syntax was resetting a bit. The operator was
=&
because nobody'd fixed the C language definition to be consistent at that point.Other operators (
=|
,=+
, etc.) are like that too in that file IIRC (or if not, elsewhere in that codebase) so it's clearly not a typo.
