preserving comments
by Mark Kaplun 03 Jun '02

03 Jun '02

Hi Frank, My understanding is that in the current implementation comments are not being preserved at any data structure in libsmi. If I'm right, I would like to suggest that a code will be added to do this. The advantages of preserving comments are that utilities like dumpsmi will be able to regenerate the exact contents of the original MIB module, and that there are some places, like enum values definition, were it is more convinient to use a comment near the definition. Mark.

Re: [libsmi] re-engineering xml file to smi doc. with xsl

Hi! Mark> If I remeber currectly, you can use xsl to transform one XML Mark> into another XML. Since SMI is not in an XML like format, I Mark> don't think it is possible. XSL can transform to XML, but also to plain text and further optional formats. (<xsl:output method="text|xml|html|..."/>) Mark> Anyway, what reason is there to retransform an XML to SMI? I did not try to do such conversations, since we already have smidump. Maybe, XSLT 1.0 is missing some programatic features. I don't know. However, I agree with awk that it would be `cool' to do this with XSLT. Some people might bring forward the argument that programming and adapting XSL snippets is easier and more flexible than traditional program code. I'm not sure whether I share this argument *completely*, but however I think it's cool to use XSL for prototyping conversions. -frank

Re: [libsmi] extern "C" missing in smi.h
by Ramesh Natarajan 27 May '02

Hi, I think the code maintainers can add it in smi.h, instead of expecting the library users to add it. #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif extern int smiInit(const char *tag); ....... ...... #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif /* _SMI_H */ > "Ashok Kumar [ GVG DDF ]" wrote: > > Hi, > of course you should use extern c , to build in c++ > regards > ashok > -----Original Message----- > From: Ramesh Natarajan [mailto:ramesh@motorola.com] > Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 11:41 AM > To: libsmi(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de > Subject: [libsmi] extern "C" missing in smi.h > > Hi all, > > Currently it is not possible to use libsmi in c++ program. > I think extern "C" must be specified in smi.h for the apis > so that C++ programs can link libsmi > > Any suggestions?? > > Regds, > Ramesh > > -- > -- > !!

extern "C" missing in smi.h
by Ramesh Natarajan 27 May '02

27 May '02

Hi all, Currently it is not possible to use libsmi in c++ program. I think extern "C" must be specified in smi.h for the apis so that C++ programs can link libsmi Any suggestions?? Regds, Ramesh --

Can libsmi give me the name from OID?
by Henrik Nordberg 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hi, I tried looking at the documentation and searching the mailing list but could not find the answer to this question: Is it possible to use libsmi to get the name and description from an OID (which is defined in a MIB that is present in the MIB search path)? I tried this code: SmiNode *smiNode = ::smiGetNodeByOID(oidLen, oidArr); with oidArr = {1,3,6,1,2,1,1,3} and oidLen = 8, but smiNode->description is NULL and ->name is "iso". I expected name to be "sysUpTime" and description to be "The time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized." (see http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.html) The ->oid member is simply {1}. Shouldn't it be {1,3,6,1,2,1,1,3}? Initializations is done like this: smiInit(NULL); char* pc = smiGetPath(); // For verification. where pc is a list of directories where I have my MIBs. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. I am running on Win2k and libsmi-0.3.1. I had to modify dump-scli.c to make it compile, since msvc 6 does not have regexp.h. Thanks, Henrik

re-engineering xml file to smi doc. with xsl
by Ambles Kock 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hi all, I am interested to know whether there is an example XSL file that re-engineers a smidump -f xml output file to a SMIv1, SMIv2, or SMIng MIB file. That would be a cool feature for libsmi. comments? - awk --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience

very very small bug
by Mark Kaplun 17 May '02

The node type of the "iso" node (and probably "ccitt" as well) is SMI_NODEKIND_UNKNOWN instead of SMI_NODEKIND_NODE. It should be initialized ater the creation of the objects in smiInitData in data.c Mark.

smilint: Counter32 and Counter64 read-only
by Pamela Heckmann 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hi, RFC2578 states for Counter32 and Counter64 that the MAX-ACCESS clause is either "read-only" or "accessible-for-notify." I tested a Counter as read-write with Libsmi 0.3.1 and smilint did not catch this. I also tested the MIB with the smilint on SimpleWeb. Have you noticed this before?
