How to set a variable flag in bitbake - bitbake

Is setting Flags in below ways is same ?
First :
d.setVarFlag('do_task1', 'deptask', 'do_task2')
Second :
do_task1[deptask]='do_task2'

Self-referential values in an R config file

Using the config package, I'd like elements to reference other elements,
like how path_file_a references path_directory.
config.yml file in the working directory:
default:
path_directory : "data-public"
path_file_a : "{path_directory}/a.csv"
path_file_b : "{path_directory}/b.csv"
path_file_c : "{path_directory}/c.csv"
# recursive : !expr file.path(config::get("path_directory"), "c.csv")
Code:
config <- config::get()
config$path_file_a
# Returns: "{path_directory}/a.csv"
glue::glue(config$path_file_a, .envir = config)
# Returns: "data-public/a.csv"
I can use something like glue::glue() on the value returned by config$path_file_a.
But I'd prefer to have the value already substituted so config$path_file_a contains the actual value (not the template for the value).
As you might expect, uncommenting the recursive line creates an endless self-referential loop.
Are there better alternatives to glue::glue(config$path_file_a, .envir = config)?
I came across the same problem and I've written a wrapper around config and glue.
The package is called gonfig and has been submitted to CRAN.
With it you would have:
config.yml
default:
path_directory : "data-public"
path_file_a : "{path_directory}/a.csv"
path_file_b : "{path_directory}/b.csv"
path_file_c : "{path_directory}/c.csv"
And in your R script:
config <- gonfig::get()
config$path_file_c
#> "data-public/c.csv"

Dccp protocol simulation in ns2 2.34

How to add dccp patches to ns2 2.34? Please give me detailed steps.
The file is the file is ns234-dccp-1.patch.
The error comes when I try to simulate dccp is
Kar#ubuntu:~$ ns audiodccp.tcl

UBUNTU-10.04
NS2 allinone 2.34
audiodccp.tcl : Unknown file.
invalid command name "Agent/DCCP/TCPlike"
→ → You have a failed build. Or you are using the wrong executable 'ns'. The suggestion is to do :
cd ns-allinone-2.34/-ns-2.34/
cp ns ns-dccp
sudo cp ns-dccp /usr/local/bin/
... and then do simulations with $ ns-dccp [file.tcl]
You can also use ns-2.35, which has DCCP included by default.
Note : You can have as many times ns-allinone-2.xx as you want, installed at the same time. But : Do never add any PATH text to .bashrc. Not required.

Bash undeclaring a readonly variable (declare -r var)

I can declare a bash variable as read only:
var=myname
declare -r var
and then when I try to change the value :
var=anothername
I get (in zsh for example)
>>read-only variable: var
How can I "undeclare" or unset this variable?
I found this here unset:
$ cat << EOF| sudo gdb
attach $$
call unbind_variable("var")
detach
EOF
You can't in bash, readonly means you can't change that variable in anyway, including getting rid of it.

Boost-build/BJam language - checking the value of a flag

I need to edit a .jam file used by boost-build for a specific kind of projects. The official manual on BJAM language says:
One of the toolsets that cares about DEF files is msvc. The following line should be added to it. flags msvc.link DEF_FILE
;
Since the DEF_FILE variable is not used by the msvc.link action, we need to modify it to be: actions link bind DEF_FILE { $(.LD) ....
/DEF:$(DEF_FILE) .... } Note the bind DEF_FILE part. It tells bjam to
translate the internal target name in DEF_FILE to a corresponding
filename in the link
So apparently just printing DEF_FILE with ECHO wouldn't work. How can it be expanded to a string variable or something that can actually be checked?
What I need to do is to print an error message and abort the build in case the flag is not set. I tried:
if ! $(DEF_FILE)
{
errors.user-error "file not found" ;
EXIT ;
}
but this "if" is always true
I also tried putting "if ! $_DEF_FILE {...}" inside the "actions" contained but apparently it is ignored.
I am not sure I understand the global task you have. However, if you wanted to add checking for non-empty DEF_FILE -- expanding on the documentation bit you quote, you need to add the check in msvc.link function.
If you have a command line pattern (specified with 'actions') its content is what is passed to OS for execution. But, you can also have a function with the same name, that will be called before generating the actions. For example, here's what current codebase have:
rule link.dll ( targets + : sources * : properties * )
{
DEPENDS $(<) : [ on $(<) return $(DEF_FILE) ] ;
if <embed-manifest>on in $(properties)
{
msvc.manifest.dll $(targets) : $(sources) : $(properties) ;
}
}
You can modify this code to additionally:
if ! [ on $(<) return $(DEF_FILE) ] {
ECHO "error" ;
}

Issue using If statments in Unix

I'm new to shell scripting and need some help. I am trying to write a script to bounce some servers and I am having a few issues with my if statements. The First and Second one below is giving me a too many arguments error.
For the first one, I am the variable $jmsProcess is a ps -ef | grep command and I only want to go into the if-statement, if this returns some results. This is the same issue for the second one.
In the Third if-statement I want it to check if either of those variables have the value true but this gives me a
if[ [ false || false ] == true ]: command not found
Error.
#Check the JMS process has been killed
if [ $jmsProcess != null ] # SHOULD THIS BE NULL???
then
echo "JMS Process is still running"
$jmsRunning = "true"
fi
#Check the Bone process has been killed
if [ $boneProcess != null ] # SHOULD THIS BE NULL???
then
echo "B-One Process is still Running"
$boneRunning = "true"
fi
if[ [ $jmsRunning || $boneRunning ] == true ] # CHECK THIS FOR QUOTES
then
# $killProcess
fi
null is not a Bash keyword. If you want to check whether a variable is defined, you can do the following:
if [ "${var+defined}" = defined ]
To check whether it's empty or undefined:
if [ -z "${var-}" ]
We don't know how you're setting any of the variable values, (jmsProcess, boneProcess).
Try surrounding all var values like "$var" (with dbl-quotes) and see if the error messages change.
Also there are numerous syntax issues in code visible above. Hard to tell if it is an artifact of posting here, (The code block feature is pretty robust), so I'm going to comment on what I see wrong.
if[ [ false || false ] == true ]: command not found
There are a lot of issues here: false is an shell command. Try typing it on the command line and then do echo $?. you should see 1. true; echo $? will return 0. But the if statements continue or fall-over to the else block based on the last return code (with some special case exceptions).
Also, I'm guessing you're trying to make some sort of reg exp with [ false || false ] == true. Won't work. see below.
You can set status variables to have the value of false (or true) which will be evaluated correctly by the shell.
Also, if[ will give the 'command not found' msg. So by using vars that have the value false, you can do
Try
jmsRunning=false ; boneRunning=true
if [[ ${jmsRunning} || ${boneRunning} ]] ; then
echo both NOT running
else
echo at least 1 is running
fi
Change both to false to see the message change.
Also, null is just a string in a shell script, you probably mean "".
Finally, var assignments cannot have spaces surrounding the '=' sign AND do not use the '$' char at the front when it is on the left hand side of the statment, i.e.
boneRunning=true
I hope this helps.
