You were arguing that it's bad because it's the "latest" mandate. I call subtle trolling

Do you know why I'm having this odd coloring? It would be nice to know so I don't make the same mistake again twice : s Well first I changed getcolor to use XftColorAllocName. The colors were not messed up anymore (actually no text showed up), so I changed: &col[invert ? ColFG : ColBG] to &col[invert ? ColBG : ColFG] (in XftDrawStringUtf8). That's all I had to do :) David

Re: [dev] I messed up...used glib, dbus, and friends. Need help to fix this mistake
The system is an embedded system. However, it is quite powerful in the sense it has a dual core CPU and ample RAM. It is running just a standard linux desktop distro right now during the prototype stage. The applications on top have no requirement to be portable. Since there was enough resources, I thought using these libraries is good enough and I don't have to worry about reinventing the wheel. > > 1.

There's string.h.. > If you want regexes there are several libraries for that I used a lot of the join and cat functions from the glib library. Not currently using any regexes.

Separate concerns: mount with mount, parallelise with pthreads (or similar). Having to build asynchronicity into each function suggests you're doing something very wrong, in one way or another. > > popen(3), or just fork/dup2/exec. > Is there a way to do these asynchronously? You can't get more asynchronous than a separate running process, can you? > I used a lot of the join and cat functions from the glib library. Not > currently using any regexes. string.h has a number of join and cat functions. Even if it doesn't have exactly what you need, it's trivial to write your own. Trivial enough that the dependency is simply not worth it. cls
