(20:46:35) powerman: which complex data structures available for inferno C code?
(20:46:51) powerman: I mean, something like Queue defined in emu/port/qio.c
(20:47:09) powerman: is there hash implementation, for example?
(20:47:48) powerman: linked lists with ease add/remove?
(20:48:54) powerman: or these wheels should be reinvented manually in each inferno driver which need them?
(20:51:43) anth: i don't remember. i've not written any fresh kernel code in a long time.
(20:52:13) anth: i wish section 10 of the manual was in better shape.
(20:57:04) powerman: after reporting issue 244 yesterday I notice srv(3) man page already contain note about this bug: "BUGS A client with a read or write pending can remain blocked if the server exits before reply."
(20:58:39) powerman: while trying to find a way to fix it, it turns out I need to keep track of all pending read/write requests in devsrv.c
(20:59:46) powerman: that mean I need complex struct, with ease add/del multiple 'rc/wc' channels per each srvfile
(21:01:50) powerman: in perl that's easy:
(21:01:50) powerman: $pending{$srvfile}{read}{$mypid} = $rc;
(21:01:50) powerman: # block in waiting for reply on $rc
(21:01:50) powerman: delete $pending{$srvfile}{read}{$mypid};
(21:03:01) powerman: I can implement some wheels to make same possible in devsrv.c, but I don't think Charles will be happy to get patch with own wheels :)
(21:25:10) powerman: ok, looks like there is nothing to worry about, quick grep on source yield a lot of different implementations for linked lists, adding one more doesn't harm

(02:23:12) powerman: I've implemented patch for issue 244 http://code.google.com/p/inferno-os/issues/detail?id=244#c1
(02:25:03) powerman: Keeping in mind I've nearly no C experience and zero experience writing for threading environment of inferno kernel, I'll be happy if someone more experienced check this patch for qlock() and other complex things.

(05:45:42) powerman: what acquire()/release() actually doing? or where I can read docs about this?
(05:46:14) powerman: it looks like they lock/unlock something related to dis, maybe dis itself…
(05:46:38) powerman: but what is their physical sense, when and why they should be used?
