Hmm. It seems possible to set up a RPi without a sillymonitor if one has a DHCP router with a wired connection.

< AnnoDomini>
Is there a way to make a laptop with a NIC pretend to be a router with DHCP?
15:07
< ktemkin>
You can run a DHCP server on your laptop; I'm not sure if you can run NAT with only one NIC.
15:08
< ktemkin>
What OS is the laptop running?
15:08
< AnnoDomini>
It's a dual boot of WinXP and Debian. Currently on WinXP.
15:09
< AnnoDomini>
What I need is my laptop to give my RPi an IP address so I can SSH into it.
15:09
< simon_>
you can do that
15:09
< ktemkin>
Thinking about the NAT with one NIC comment, that doesn't make sense.
15:09
< ktemkin>
There's no reason you wouldn't be able to.
15:09
< ktemkin>
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/
15:09
< ktemkin>
It'd be just like running a proxy server.
15:10
< simon_>
the RPi would probably broadcast its DHCP request and you could just respond to that with a DHCP server, telling it it's one some subnet you've set up on your ethernet interface.
15:10
< AnnoDomini>
I've got an unused wired NIC. Using the wireless for internet.
15:11
< ktemkin>
You can just bridge them, in which case it'll be like your RPi is on the same network as everything else.
15:12
< AnnoDomini>
I don't have a bridge.
15:13
<&ToxicFrog>
AnnoDomini: run dhcpd listening on eth0, plug rpi into eth0, ask the dhcpd what address it assigned.
15:13
<&ToxicFrog>
Boom, headshot.
15:13
<&ToxicFrog>
(alternately, do the same with your normal router, if you have one)
15:13
< AnnoDomini>
I don't, unfortunately.

internet connection sharing on the ethernet
15:17
< AnnoDomini>
I don't need internet connection. I just need to be able to talk to the RPi.
15:17
< Syka>
iirc it starts up a basic DHCP server - not sure if you can get info out of it
15:20
< ktemkin>
Of course, depending on NIC support, you may need a crossover cable.
15:21
< ktemkin>
I don't know if the raspi supports autosensing.
15:21
<&ToxicFrog>
AnnoDomini: so, create a basic dhcpd configuration - something like 'subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.2.10 192.169.2.100; }' - and then # ifconfig eth0 up; ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1; dhcpd -d eth0
15:21
<&ToxicFrog>
And then plug in the rpi and watch the terminal.
15:22
< ktemkin>
(A quick google for "auto-mdix raspi" seems to indicate that it does support it; so you can use any ethernet cable.)
15:22
< AnnoDomini>
ToxicFrog: Those are instructions for Linux, yes?
15:23
<&ToxicFrog>
Yes.
15:23
<&ToxicFrog>
I have NFI how to work windows.
15:23
< ktemkin>
Ask Skya said, if you enable internet connection sharing, it will create a DHCP service (and perform NAT) with something like one click, assuming it works.
15:24
< ktemkin>
*As Syka said
15:24
< AnnoDomini>
OK. I'll try that.

Side note: C++ lacks "finally", you have to catch everything, process, and rethrow.

< Xires>
struct { ...; unsigned char dat[0]; }; is there a 'safe' way to handle this? I think it's causing some major memory corruption but I'm told not to change it
21:45
<&McMartin>
That is "safe"
21:45
<&McMartin>
If and only if you are using C
21:45
<&McMartin>
Or rather
21:45
<&McMartin>
It's as safe as C ever is
21:45
<&McMartin>
What that means is "this ends with a variable length data structure"
21:45
<&McMartin>
All allociatons of it should look like
21:46
<&McMartin>
x = (THAT_STRUCT *)malloc(sizeof(THAT_STRUCT) + {some expression that is the size of dat});
21:46
<&McMartin>
And then it's as safe as an C array ever is
21:46
<&McMartin>
It is *not* safe in C++
21:46
< Xires>
McMartin; I'm familiar with the concept but I can't currently find any other reason for the massive memory issues I'm having
21:47
<&McMartin>
OK, so the issue is not that it ends in dat[0]
21:47
<&McMartin>
It's that somebody's blowing it out
21:47
<&McMartin>
If you think you have a compiler that doesn't handle this, you can add buffer space by making it dat[1]. Overallocating and blowing that out within the overallocation is I think supposed to keep working.
21:48
< Xires>
it's allocated with g_slice_alloc0(sizeof(theStruct) + PAD);
21:48
<&McMartin>
That's somewhat alarming.
21:48
<&McMartin>
Unless PAD is the size of what "dat" is supposed to be, which its name does not imply.
21:48
< Xires>
#define PAD 1542
21:49
<&McMartin>
OK, that is a large number.
21:49
<&McMartin>
valgrind should be smart enough to recognize this construct
21:49
<&McMartin>
I'd use that
21:49
< Xires>
the total size of theStruct is 60 on 32-bit & 80 on 64-bit
21:49
<&McMartin>
Yeah
21:49
<&McMartin>
My guess is that the dat array is being blown out
21:50
<&McMartin>
That's where the error is, in standard parlance
21:50
<&McMartin>
If you want to try to shield it, you can increase the value of zero and that will make the dat array bigger.
21:51
< Xires>
after the calloc(), the next call does (cast_to*) &foo->dat[14]
21:51
< Xires>
not literally, of course
21:52 * TheWatcher eyes
21:52
<@TheWatcher>
Y'know, I knew that doing that was possible
21:52
<&McMartin>
That's a use-before-def error
21:52
<@TheWatcher>
but I never thought anyone'd actually /do/ it.
21:52
<&McMartin>
Wait, no, it's calloc
21:52
<&McMartin>
That's a null-deref.
21:52
<&McMartin>
Wait
21:53
<&McMartin>
&foo->dat[14]?
21:53
<&McMartin>
That's a type error.
21:53
< Xires>
*foo = g_slice_alloc0(60 + 1542); *bar = (bar_type*) &foo->dat[14];
21:53
<&McMartin>
OK, There's Your Problem
21:53
<&McMartin>
Unless foo is a thing**.
21:54
< Xires>
later..bar = (bar_type*)((unsigned char*) bar + 2);
21:54
<&McMartin>
And then that overwrites some random stack memory
21:54
<&McMartin>
Yeah
21:54
<&McMartin>
Things that are created in this way must be treated as if they were java objects.
21:54
<&McMartin>
They are only accessible through the pointer you got them through.
21:54
<&McMartin>
They cannot be safely value-copied.
21:55
< Xires>
unless I memcpy()?
21:55
<&McMartin>
Unless you not only memcpy it but also know that the sizes of the things are the same.
21:56
<&McMartin>
That said, the more I look at that code, the more it twists
21:56
< Xires>
indeed

There's no way what you've pasted can be right
21:56
<&McMartin>
But which variety of wrong it is depends on the declared types of the variables and functions
21:56
<@TheWatcher>
Frankly looks to me like someone was trying to be too damned clever by half
21:56
<&McMartin>
But it looks like there's some confusion about levels of indirection.
21:56
< Xires>
there are 2 memcpy() calls that occur before bar = (bar_type*)((unsigned char*) bar + 2)
21:57
<&McMartin>
That is or is not safe depending on their arguments~
21:57
<&McMartin>
But in short
21:57
<@TheWatcher>
:spiders:
21:57
<&McMartin>
"It's not the variable-length array declaration that's the problem."
21:57
< Xires>
simply how it's handled
21:57
<&McMartin>
"It's something that's using it wrong, and making it static length has no guarantee of fixing that. You need bounds checking."
21:58
<&McMartin>
Basically, if this structure ever appears in a non-pointer context, Everything Is Going To Hell Fast.
21:58
< Xires>
I know that the dat[0] itself isn't a problem but I figured it's probably a safety issue due to difficulties in how it's used
21:58
<&McMartin>
You aren't allowed to have structures like this on the stack
21:58
< Xires>
particularly, how easy it is to screw up
21:58
<&McMartin>
Yeah, that difficulty is "you're using arrays in C"
21:59
<&McMartin>
TheWatcher: I don't know if it's part of the standard, but 0-size arrays as the last element in a structure is well-defined in "sane" C compilers and it's actually a common idiom.
21:59
<&McMartin>
Malloc hands you a bag of bytes which you can use as you see fit
22:00
<&McMartin>
There is a subtle but consistent distinction between an array declared as foo[] and an array declared as *foo, and this is one of the two places it matters
22:00
<&McMartin>
It means "dat is an offset sizeof(STRUCT) into something cast to STRUCT."
22:01
<&McMartin>
And then you can do your standard pointer arithmetic on that
22:01 * TheWatcher nods
22:01
< Xires>
McMartin; if I can create some test code to demonstrate the use of this struct, would you mind taking a quick look at it and telling me what's off?
22:01
<&McMartin>
afk
22:01
< Xires>
it's taken me 3 weeks to narrow it down this far
22:01
<@TheWatcher>
As I said, I knew you could do it. I've just never personally run into it
22:01
<&McMartin>
sure
22:02
< Xires>
McMartin; many thanks, I'll PM you a pastie link when it's ready..assuming that's okay
22:04
<&ToxicFrog>
Or just paste it in here. I'm kind of curious.
22:04
< Xires>
ToxicFrog; will do
22:05
< Xires>
I was handed a huge project of just over 2 GBs of source and told to port it to 64-bit
22:06
< Xires>
much of the 'infrastructure' of the code copyright 1989-1992
22:06
<&McMartin>
oho
22:07
< Xires>
CEO thinks it shouldn't be taking me the few months that it has to get this up & running but has 0 experience with code
22:07
<&ToxicFrog>
GET OUT NOW
22:07
< Xires>
thus, CEO is trying to find justification for me to keep my job so CTO && COO are trying to defend me..but that's not going to last if I can't figure this out
22:10
<@Tarinaky>
Dare I ask what is actually meant by 'port it to 64-bit'... I assume we mean more than 'compile with different flags, get it to compile and then send it to QA to produce bug reports'?
22:11
< Xires>
Tarinaky; replacing much of the old infrastructure with something that's a bit more architecture-independent..specifically, glib2
22:11
<@Tarinaky>
Ah. Yeah. That'd do it.
22:13
<&McMartin>
That does raise an important question though
22:13
<&McMartin>
What compiler are you using?
22:14
<&McMartin>
TheWatcher: I'm kind of actually using this trick in Monocle >_>
22:14
<&McMartin>
Not as explicitly but the compiled code ends up about the same. (I'm casting between objects of different sizes but identical prologues to simulate single inheritance)
22:14
<&McMartin>
(And once those objects have strings in them it's going to have to use the trick explicitly.)
22:15
<&McMartin>
(In objects that *won't escape the file they're defined in, thank you* >_>)
22:15
< Xires>
McMartin; gcc for most of the project, Intel compiler for some specific things
22:15
<&McMartin>
OK, both of those should correctly handle this construct in 32- and 64-bit modes of operation
22:15
<&McMartin>
However, I just realized some other things may be going on >_<
22:16
<&McMartin>
I'm AFK for a couple of hours but I recognize your nick; I'll opine on what I see when I get back and check backscroll
22:16
<@TheWatcher>
McMartin: yeah, but your one of maybe 5 people I'd trust to do that right, so.
