[BRLTTY] patch for open as a macro

Hi again, attached please find another patch written by Tomas. So please cc him in any replies. Thanks, Stepan Fix the calls to whatever->open to compile with newer glibc. The glibc upstream has recently defined open as macro to check for incorrect usage of the third parameter. This is

Re: [BRLTTY] Contraction error: Caledonia

Hello Keith, You think you're a braille nerd? You should have seen the first time I wrote this message! :-) If we accept your contention that the e-a sign in Create is an error, then NLS would have to revise virtually every one of its Web Braille books and presumably at least the vast majority

Re: [BRLTTY] Contraction error: Caledonia

Hi, Lee, I don't disagree with you that I've seen create all over the place using the ea sign. I do, however, maintain my stance that this is a common braille error. Very common, as you proved with your stats below. However, would you disagree that the use of the EA sign in create violates rule 42

Re: [BRLTTY] patch for open as a macro

Okay ... we'll try to be ready before Semtember 25. I think that should be possible since the list of pending items that we really want to get in is short. Please keep us in mind. Nice to hear that RHEL4&5 have so few problem reports! Can we discuss with you at some point how to make doing a brai

Re: [BRLTTY] Contraction error: Caledonia

Hi Keith, I would agree that braille should be written according to _all_ the rules, not some of them. I'm no expert on rule numbers and such, but I do remember a rule that said a contraction can straddle a syllable boundary when going from an unaccented syllable to an accented one, which was t

Re: [BRLTTY] Contraction error: Caledonia

Hi, Lee, The braille code does, in fact, state that you can use a contraction crossing a sylable division from an accented sylable to an unaccented sylable. This rule makes no mention of primary sylables, though. Caveat (CAV - e - at) works with the EA sign as the first sylable, not the last, is t

Re: [BRLTTY] patch for open as a macro

As it turns out, I haven't really been happy with the names open() and close() anyway but there was never a good enough reason to make it worth renaming them. Unless anyone objects, I think I'll use this opportunity to rename them to construct() and destruct(). -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fo

Re: [BRLTTY] patch for open as a macro

The open() and close() methods have now all been renamed to construct() and destruct() respectively in our development stream. Perhaps you could try building from our development stream (see the Source Repository section on our Download page) just to ensure that there won't be any surprises hidden
