<gnucode>morning friends!

<Scissors>greetings! there is a strange line, hurd-0.9/auth/auth.c : (line 91): #define C(auth, ids) idvec_copyout (&auth->ids, ids, n##ids) ; how this n##ids works?

<nikolar>basically it takes ids as teh macro paramter and concatenates it to n

<nikolar>so if it was C(whatever, 123), it would turn into n123

<Scissors>nikolar: thank you!

<nikolar>you're welcome

<Scissors>nikolar: but function expect size_t *nids; does it mean, that, in your example, it will get address of n123? Such as &n123?

<nikolar>no, you just get the identifier n123

<nikolar>it doesn't magically insert & in front of it

<Scissors>thanks, and sorry for silly question!

<nikolar>Scissors: if you intend on actually contributing

<nikolar>it would be better to first learn c

<azeem>vmstat-hurd print "/servers/default-pager: Translator died" four times for me, is that just me or everybody?

<youpi>when you don't have swap, that's expected

<youpi>you don't have a default pager

<azeem>ah right

<azeem>it's a bit ugly though :)

<youpi>but normally nowadys swap should work

<azeem>the 2025 amd64 image doesn't have swap configured IIRC

<youpi>yes, it was not fixed at the time
