[00:00] <Keybuk> aha!
[00:00] <Keybuk> fails with insufficient memory inside the timer function
[00:00] <Keybuk> which it should
[01:05] * Keybuk declares success for the night
[01:08] <ion_> :-)
[01:19] <Keybuk> ok...
[01:19] <Keybuk> 526 of libnih, and 914 of upstart have the bare bones of D-Bus support
[01:19] <Keybuk> no methods yet, but nearly all of the glue to make the methods trivial to add
[01:20] <Keybuk> 525 of libnih, sorry
[01:21] <Keybuk> if you want to play:
[01:21] <Keybuk> 1) write an XML file in D-Bus Introspect format
[01:21] <Keybuk> e.g. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~keybuk/libnih/trunk/annotate/scott%40netsplit.com-20080425001233-8o0ta6dbia8r0plh?file_id=com.netsplit.nih.tes-20080421094354-men8yuazzjl3shgb-1
[01:21] <Keybuk> 2) generate C code from that
[01:21] <Keybuk> nih-dbus-tool com.netsplit.Nih.Test.xml
[01:22] <Keybuk> 3) write your own method handlers
[01:22] <Keybuk> for that StrToInt you would need to write a function with the prototype:
[01:23] <Keybuk> int dbus_str_to_init (void *data, NihDBusMessage *message, const char *input, int32_t *output);
[01:23] <Keybuk> store return values in the latter pointers, for strings use the message argument as the nih_alloc context to attach them to
[01:23] <Keybuk> return 0 if everything was ok, < 0 if you raise an error
[01:23] <Keybuk> if you want to return a D-Bus error use nih_dbus_error_raise (NAME, MESSAGE)
[01:24] <Keybuk> otherwise the generic FAILED will be returned (if you raise ENOMEM, you'll get looped :p)
[01:24] <Keybuk> 4) compile and play
[01:32] <ion_> ion: tag
[01:33] <ion_> Now i'll find this piece of log easily. :-)
