perl6/rakudo: How could I disable autoflush? - raku

I tried this, but it didn't work:
$*OUT.autoflush( 0 );

$*OUT.autoflush = False should disable it, and it runs without error, but it seems that parrot's IO still flushes automatically. So there currently doesn't seem to be an easy way.

Rakudo doesn't support autoflush. There's a note in 5to6-perlvar under the $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH entry.
Some examples from a long time ago mention an autoflush method, but that has disappeared:
$*ERR.autoflush = True;
$*ERR.say: "1. This is an error";
$*OUT.say: "2. This is standard out";
But that doesn't work:
No such method 'autoflush' for invocant of type 'IO::Handle'
I haven't seen any discussions about when this might show up as a feature, or a proclamation that it will never be a feature.

BLE kotlin .discoverServices() doesn't find any service

I implemented two different solution to discover service on my BLE device. One use a handler then return what .discoverService have found, the other one is really similar but give the size of the service discovered list that is always 0. I tried it with my realme buds 2 as test and some other device publically visible. The result is always 0. What can the problem be?
Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post {
var temp = bluetoothGatt?.discoverServices()
addGlog("discordservice() returned ${temp.toString()}")
}
addGlog("handler discover service reached an end")
val gattServices: List<BluetoothGattService> = gatt.getServices()
addGlog("Services count: " + gattServices.size)
for (gattService in gattServices) {
val serviceUUID = gattService.uuid.toString()
addGlog("Service uuid $serviceUUID")
}
edit: AddGlog is a simple log function to print results
answer: The code is not wrong but it take some time to discover those services so i put this code in a button. In this way there is 3-4 second of time between connecting with the device and make a discoveryservice operation. So a button make the conneting operations and another one the service discovery operations. I am sorry if my answer is pretty lame but I am still a noob on this topic

Dymola Results of checkModel()

checkmodel([Some Model]) opens the GUI "Dymola Messages", tab "Translation" and displays Errors, Warnings, and Messages.
Does anyone know how to write these infos to a logfile or get them as kind of return value of checkModel(). All I've found in the documentation was, that checkModel() only returns a success-boolean. Are these infos saved temporarily somewhere?
Note, that I only want to apply checkModel() but not actually translating the code.
I finally found a solution at least for Dymola 2016 and newer, so if someone is interested - here it is (it is not very user-friendly, but it works):
The key-command is getLastError() which not only returns the last error (as one could think...), but all errors that are detected by checkModel() as well as the overall statistics.
All informations are sampled in one string, in which the last lines looks like:
"[...]
Local classes checked, checking <[Some Path]>
ERROR: 2 errors were found
WARNING: 13 warnings were issued
= false
"
Following operations will return the number of actual errors (for warnings it is more or less the same):
b = checkmodel([Some Model])
s = getLastError()
ind1 = Modelica.Utilities.Strings.findLast(s,"ERROR:")
ind2 = Modelica.Utilities.Strings.findLast(s," errors were found")
nErrors = Modelica.Utilities.Strings.substring(s,ind1+6,ind2) //6 = len(ERROR:)
nErrors = Modelica.Utilities.Strings.replace(nErrors," ","")
nErrors
= "2"
Note:
I used findLast as I know, that the lines of interest are at the very end of the string. So this is significantly faster than using find
This only works, if the line "ERROR: ...." actually exists. Otherwise, the substring call will throw an error.
Of course this could be done in less lines, but maybe this version is easier to read.
NOTE: This will only works with Dymola 2016 and newer. The return-string of getLastError is of a different structure in Dymola 2015 and older.
The following should handle it:
clearlog(); // To start fresh
Advanced.TranslationInCommandLog=true;
checkModel(...);
savelog(...);
This is mentioned in the Dymola User Manual Volume 1, section "Parameter studies by running Dymola a number of time in “batch mode”" on pg 630 or so.

Getting "Can not convert the given object to query." with ColdFusion ORM

This is happening intermittently (usually at start up). I get the above error message when executing the following code.
var arr = ORMExecuteQuery( "FROM priority WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY sortOrder" );
var qry = entityToQuery( arr );
The first line executes fine, but the second line blows up. The solution is to run ormreload();
The problem keeps coming up in an unpredictable way though. Even when no changes have been made to the beans or gateways that are using ORM. Completely unpredictable and impossible to replicate on purpose. Is there something else that can mess with the hibernate mappings that could cause this type of problem.
Other info that may be pertinent:
This is a MURA plugin based on a recent version of FW/1.
ormreload() is a persistent fix (until it fails again)
My current solution is to put ormreload() in the setupApplication() method of application.cfc
I just want to understand better what could be causing this problem.

cwac. locpoll How to stop a running location update?

I modified the OMGStop() method to something more like this:
public void cancelUpdates() {
//TODO potential bug here
if(pi == null)
setPendingIntent();
mgr.cancel(pi);
//Should one of these work?
stopService(new Intent(applicationContext, LocationPoller.class));
stopService(new Intent(applicationContext, LocationPollerService.class));
I'm storing pi (PendingIntent) as a member in my activity class. And this works fine to remove the PendingIntent from the AlarmManager.
However...
I would like to be able to stop the current location poll if there is one going on. Is it possible with your current design? I thought I could just stop the service, but the GPS continues to run.
Basically what i'm trying to do is stop everything when the user (me on my trip) changes a preference (such as the timeout, or USE GPS or update period. And then recreate everything with the new values.
Thanks,
Great code BTW - Exactly what I want for tracking my cross country journey :)
I faced the same issue. - On occasion I let my mousepointer hover over "mgr.setRepeating(..)" and read some of Eclipse's (Indigo) hints:
"If there is already an alarm scheduled for the same IntentSender, it will first be canceled."
But the IntentSender could be gone by then.
This led me to the following "solution" (in original CommonsWare code):
if(pi == null) {
Intent i = new Intent(this, LocationPoller.class);
pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, i, 0);
mgr.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000, PERIOD, pi);
}
mgr.cancel();
By adding 1000 msec I tried to make sure the AlarmManager has no chance to start before being hit by a cancel().
HTH, regards.
PS: I'd like to quote mparkes: "Great code"!
Is it possible with your current design?
No, sorry. That's theoretically possible to add, but probably a bit tricky, and definitely not there at the moment.
Basically what i'm trying to do is stop everything when the user (me on my trip) changes a preference (such as the timeout, or USE GPS or update period. And then recreate everything with the new values.
That is a perfectly reasonable concept, just not what LocationPoller supports. LocationPoller was designed more for the "check every hour" sorts of scenarios, where it is statistically unlikely that a check is going on while the user happens to be manipulating your app's UI.

How to flush the io buffer in Erlang?

How do you flush the io buffer in Erlang?
For instance:
> io:format("hello"),
> io:format(user, "hello").
This post seems to indicate that there is no clean solution.
Is there a better solution than in that post?
Sadly other than properly implementing a flush "command" in the io/kernel subsystems and making sure that the low level drivers that implement the actual io support such a command you really have to simply rely on the system quiescing before closing. A failing I think.
Have a look at io.erl/io_lib.erl in stdlib and file_io_server.erl/prim_file.erl in kernel for the gory details.
As an example, in file_io_server (which effectively takes the request from io/io_lib and routes it to the correct driver), the command types are:
{put_chars,Chars}
{get_until,...}
{get_chars,...}
{get_line,...}
{setopts, ...}
(i.e. no flush)!
As an alternative you could of course always close your output (which would force a flush) after every write. A logging module I have does something like this every time and it doesn't appear to be that slow (it's a gen_server with the logging received via cast messages):
case file:open(LogFile, [append]) of
{ok, IODevice} ->
io:fwrite(IODevice, "~n~2..0B ~2..0B ~4..0B, ~2..0B:~2..0B:~2..0B: ~-8s : ~-20s : ~12w : ",
[Day, Month, Year, Hour, Minute, Second, Priority, Module, Pid]),
io:fwrite(IODevice, Msg, Params),
io:fwrite(IODevice, "~c", [13]),
file:close(IODevice);
io:put_chars(<<>>)
at the end of the script works for me.
you could run
flush().
from the shell, or try
flush()->
receive
_ -> flush()
after 0 -> ok
end.
That works more or less like a C flush.
