C programming - Processes, Threads, Plugins
by Dinesh Joshi 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi List, New Year greetings to all! I am working on a small project and want to learn about implementing simple plugins in C. I have already done some research on plugins. They are generally implemented using dynamic libraries ( dlfcn.h? ). My project involves taking a simple user command and process it using different algorithms ( based on user's choice ). Each algorithm is implemented as a plugin. The program should launch the plugin in a separate process/thread and wait until it completes the processing. The advantage of this model is that, if required, the program can use several algorithms simultaneously to process the same command. So I need to learn how to program: 1. Processes 2. Threads 3. Plugins I know one comprehensive resource is not available to learn all of the above. Any inputs are appreciated. I like to learn by example. If anyone has links / e-books / tutorials which teaches the above using examples then please post them here. Also, I am a bit confused about how exactly plugins are implemented. In my case, all algorithms perform the same task but internally the processing differs. So do i implement a common API which my main program ( can I call it a server? ) will use to communicate with that plugin? Once the API standardized, can people simply add new algorithms by implementing the same API? One more dilemma I face is whether to use processes or threads? With the newer multicore ( and the older HT ) architecture processors, what would be better to use? Processes or Threads? Ofcourse it goes without saying I'm using Linux, gcc :P P.S.: Anybody know a good resource for debugging using gcc, gdb? -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi

when i bought my acer laptop from Kolkata the price of my laptop was reduced as I refused to get windows preloaded and it came only with a hardly working version of linpus linux on it... It seems Acer recommends Windows but then they dont have issues if we refuse it.... They gave me a driver cd for Windows though and had none for Linux which was part of their recommendation agenda :-D Though I had probs initially with drivers but ultimately I found all the drivers on Dapper and perusing the Acer developers a bit and thts been awesome.............

Re: [ILUG-BOM] ways to get a working Linux server in to an installable CD set for future reinstall?

If all the machines are identical in their hardware configuration, then you can install the operating system on the hard disk of one of them, and use GNU Parted to copy the entire filesystems from the original machine to the others. # parted (parted) help cp Or consult the manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/ The advantage with Parted is that it is a part of all the GNU/Linux distributions that I have used-- Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora.
