ANN: gcc-python-plugin 0.8
by David Malcolm 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

gcc-python-plugin is a plugin for GCC 4.6 onwards which embeds the CPython interpreter within GCC, allowing you to write new compiler warnings in Python, generate code visualizations, etc. It ships with "gcc-with-cpychecker", which implements static analysis passes for GCC aimed at finding bugs in CPython extensions. In particular, it can automatically detect reference-counting errors: http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cpychecker.html Detailed release notes can be seen at: http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/0.8.html Some highlights of the 0.8 release: * it's much easier than before to emit compilation warnings * initial support for analyzing C++ code from a Python script * gcc-with-cpychecker has gained additional tests. It now has knowledge of which CPython API calls will crash when passed NULL, and will warn you (with details) about code paths that can trigger such a call. It can also now detect certain subtle errors in PyMethodDef tables. * numerous bug fixes and other improvements Tarball releases are available at: https://fedorahosted.org/releases/g/c/gcc-python-plugin/ Prebuilt-documentation can be seen at: http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html The project's homepage is: https://fedorahosted.org/gcc-python-plugin/ The plugin and checker are Free Software, licensed under the GPLv3 or later. Thanks to Red Hat for funding their development, and to David Narvaez and Tom Tromey for their contributions to this release. Enjoy! Dave Malcolm

[ANN]: 'tsshbatch', Batch ssh Tool, Version 1.134 Released
by Tim Daneliuk 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

'tsshbatch' Version 1.134 is now released and available for download at: http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tsshbatch This is the first public release. --------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is 'tsshbatch'? ------------------ 'tsshbatch' is a tool to enable you to issue a command to many servers without having to log into each one separately. When writing scripts, this overcomes the 'ssh' limitation of not being able to specify the password on the command line. 'tsshbatch' also understands basic 'sudo' syntax and can be used to access a server, 'sudo' a command, and then exit. 'tsshbatch' thus allows you to write complex, hands-off scripts that issue commands to many servers without the tedium of manual login and 'sudo' promotion. System administrators, especially, will find this helpful when working in large server farms. 'tsshbatch' is written in Python and requires the 'paramiko library. It has been tested on various Linux and FreeBSD variants as well as cygwin on MS-Windows. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Complete details of all fixes, changes, and new features can be found in the WHATSNEW.txt and documentation files included in the distribution. A FreeBSD port has been submitted as well.
