Another question is:
as far as I know (and per http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/new/operator%20new[]/) the new operator never returns a NULL pointer. Why do you check it like this. Wouldn't it be good to use a try: catch: ??

Hello, we have crashes of the afserver from time to time. Maybe you can help with finding the cause. This is the backtrace: #0 0x0000003752432625 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0000003752433e05 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x0000003752470537 in __libc_message () from /lib64/libc.so.6...

For the record, this is solved by setting the env var:

Works for me! I think {"farm_name_mask": "myfarm" } job parameter has the least impact on the server code and the most positive effect for beginning users. Its just an alternative to the hostmask parm and may be used together or standalon. GUIs will then just show it next to the ...

ok, yes, then it could make sense to have a

{"farmname_mask": "myfarm" }

parameter on the job, that is used when solving. I see how this can be helpful. The concept is much easier to grasp for normal artists.

Indeed, so I don't see a benefit. What is the resoning of people requesting this?

For us I don't see any benefit right now from adding this. I guess it makes only sense if there is no name pattern to a group of machines. For this we could just add a new config item "hostlist" to the farm.json like: { "name":"stations", "hostlist":["sta...
