| 00:07.18 | CIA-85 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r37823 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libcursor/cursor.c: dead comment |
| 00:22.05 | brlcad | starseeker: another idea that came to mind is to determine if the problem is merely limited to event management happening in threads |
| 00:23.15 | brlcad | which is basically still doing the Tk_PhotoPutBlock() in tk_write() like you were doing, and still keep the fork() .. but just have the child send back a single byte, which causes the parent to call Tcl_DoOneEvent() |
| 00:23.45 | brlcad | if that works, it'd be world's better/faster than sending all the image data over the pipe |
| 00:26.28 | brlcad | the next step you could take that would be even better than fork() and libpkg would probably be to use TclThread's and TclPipes ... should translate nearly 1-1 |
| 00:30.54 | ``Erik | libpkg needs a good solid working over anways |
| 03:14.13 | starseeker | brlcad: TclThreads would mean enabling threaded tcl/tk in the build, correct? |
| 03:16.08 | starseeker | wonders how that does on Windows... hmm... |
| 03:17.01 | starseeker | bets it is event management in threads, personally |
| 03:20.52 | starseeker | hmm... http://www.defense.gov/NEWS/DTM 09-026.pdf |
| 05:35.52 | brlcad | starseeker: beats me if it requires it, but nothing too tricky |
| 05:36.15 | brlcad | big diff by going through their threading mechanisms, though .. |
| 05:36.22 | brlcad | if anything should work, that should |
| 05:36.25 | brlcad | and would be portable |
| 05:37.16 | brlcad | tcl doesn't know anything about the pthreads that were calling into it -- if you used tcl threads instead of fork(), it would know about them and any protections they've made should stay valid |

| 13:37.55 | brlcad | as someone simply trying to follow what you're doing, I should be able to have a basic idea of what you're doing and the motivation from the commits and messages |
| 13:38.14 | d-lo | I know what you're saying, I'm just messing with ya |
| 13:40.16 | brlcad | I know :) |
| 13:42.14 | brlcad | and it's probably not fun "being watched" but then without it we wouldn't improve, get stuck in bad habits, etc |
| 13:42.24 | d-lo | so if you knew I knew, but didn't know you knew I knew...*nose bleeds* |
| 13:42.26 | brlcad | like when erik calls out my mistakes *cough* |
| 13:42.41 | brlcad | as rare as they are *cough* |
| 13:42.48 | brlcad | I should get that cough checked out |
| 13:43.32 | d-lo | getting kinda cramped in this channel, what with the egos and all. *Badoom ching!* I'll be here all week.... |
| 13:44.03 | brlcad | actually was implying the opposite :) |
| 13:45.26 | d-lo | so ``Erik already has people calling him about lunch. lol |
| 13:45.28 | brlcad | I usually have to get reigned in on making too many commits without compiling |
| 13:46.49 | d-lo | ``Erik: does your computer make a noise when i use your screen name in irc? |
| 13:48.46 | d-lo | brlcad: when doing code design, do you do all the function sequencing in your head or on paper, or is there some simple software tools you like to use? |
| 13:48.52 | brlcad | I think you haven't heard his text-to-speach avatar yet? he named it after you |
| 13:48.57 | brlcad | "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" |
| 13:49.05 | d-lo | lol |
| 13:49.28 | d-lo | scary part is, I like to play chess :) |
| 13:49.51 | brlcad | probably know the answer, but what do you mean by function sequencing? |
| 13:50.43 | brlcad | i.e., I rarely ever use softare to help with design -- most just make it more complicated to work with others and limit the design process |
| 13:51.09 | d-lo | like when looking at a particular problem. there are usually a few ways of going about accomplishing the solution, but there is more than likely one that is better than the rest. |
| 13:51.17 | louipc | haha I just noticed that circles are ovals on my display |
| 13:51.43 | d-lo | I.e i Have tried the 'just sit down and start coding' approach, but it causes a lot of rework. |
| 13:51.48 | brlcad | ahh |
| 13:52.13 | d-lo | and I am not a big fan or rework. |
| 13:52.22 | brlcad | I usually see it all in my head these days, but if it's too complicated I'm a tactile person so I'll write it down |
| 13:53.03 | brlcad | you're not going to easily see what is better or worse until you code it regardless |
| 13:53.03 | d-lo | as for the writing, do you use Brlcad's personal notation, or things like UML, or a sequence diagram, etc. |
| 13:53.30 | brlcad | rework is going to happen, the best you can do is make rework fast and relatively easy |
| 13:54.14 | brlcad | with agile methodology, you achieve that by NOT implementing more than you need, so each rework is the very minimum necessary |
| 13:54.21 | d-lo | as much as I know effiecient rework comes from experience and skill, there has to be some merit to 'a bit of forethought minimizes rework' ...? |
| 13:54.52 | brlcad | with waterfall, you try to plan for everything, design everything out, stub in functionality all over the place in preparation for expected requirements, ... |
| 13:54.56 | d-lo | heh, well staying focused on the 'bare minimum needed' is a issue of mine. :) |
| 13:55.26 | brlcad | then see most of it thrown away either when you finally get to coding, or months later when the code is revisited |
| 13:55.44 | d-lo | Hrm, don't think I would like waterfall too much :) |
| 13:56.11 | brlcad | the complexity of reading code once it is *outside* of context (how it'll look to someone else or to you months later) is usually what is most important |
| 13:57.15 | brlcad | which is why agile has taken hold in general, by only coding for the "now", the design is never more complex than what it is currently capable of doing, so the code is entropically balanced |
| 13:57.39 | d-lo | ...idealisticly though, right? |
| 13:57.41 | brlcad | i.e. it's easy to understand, at least as easy as the algorithms that were employed |
| 13:59.15 | brlcad | where agile has problems is often on the macroeconomics side of code design -- knowing how to architect things well on a large scale is often not directly realizable on the small scale that agile focuses on |
| 13:59.24 | brlcad | but that awareness is mostly experience |
| 13:59.45 | d-lo | heh, so it all boils down to exp, lol. feck. lol |
| 13:59.48 | brlcad | you *won't* see those problems through design usually, but can till iterate towards them with agile |
| 14:00.23 | brlcad | public/published interface design is probably the exception |
| 14:01.01 | brlcad | you can design your public interfaces up front usually, based on expected features and requirements, then iterate implementation towards making that public interface work |
| 14:01.11 | brlcad | which is basically a form of test-driven development |
| 14:02.02 | d-lo | well that makes sense. :/ |
| 14:02.03 | brlcad | but it is a little harder for most to write a public interface first, to see the impact of how things 'should' be when it's done without making taking short-cuts |
| 14:02.33 | brlcad | it's a great approach, a little more rigorous |
| 14:02.33 | d-lo | what kinda short cuts are you referring to? |
| 14:03.52 | brlcad | hard to stay self-disciplined, particularly when you get to implementation and realize how hard a given interface is going to be or how much grunt work time it's going to take, and to not then change the interface for something else because it was easier to code |
| 14:04.13 | d-lo | ah i c. Yeah I can see that. |
| 14:05.54 | brlcad | e.g., "well, I designed this GS to hide the UUID everywhere in the public API, but .. .. if I just return that uuid to them when they look up geometry and make this getGeometry() call just take a uuid, it'd be really easy to implement..." |
| 14:06.43 | brlcad | more concrete example where hiding the uuid is a "good thing" and was designed to be purely an implementation detail, but then when faced with the complexity of url/path/whatever parsing, you "cave in" and expose it because it's easy |
| 14:06.59 | brlcad | just an example out of an unlimited supply of course |
| 14:07.21 | d-lo | understood. |
| 14:07.36 | brlcad | it's hard to stick to the test :) |
| 14:07.50 | brlcad | especially because the test itself will have limitations |
| 14:09.46 | brlcad | have you had a chance to look over the test interface I wrote up a few weeks back? that might get the mind rolling on top-down design, instead of struggling with trying to prevent rework during bottom-up design |
| 14:10.11 | d-lo | its on the todo list. where didja put it? |
| 14:10.31 | brlcad | there's a class stubbed in there that should hook into whatever public API you provide, either the API or the protocol directly |
| 14:10.38 | brlcad | mm.. think I put it with your other tests |
| 14:10.46 | starseeker | hmm - I'm probably doing it wrong, but as a first cut the PhotoPutBlock needs to be in the parent |
| 14:10.48 | d-lo | kk |
| 14:11.03 | brlcad | starseeker: huh, you sure? |
| 14:11.29 | brlcad | I thought for sure that would work, as it's the events on the window from parent that seemed to be the problem |
| 14:11.32 | ``Erik | reads some backlog O.o |
| 14:11.35 | starseeker | brlcad: no, not really - Just uncommented the PhotoPutBlock in tk_write and commented out the one in the parent... |
| 14:11.56 | ``Erik | d-lo: if it does, I don't notice it... I run irc on a machine in my basement and screen is set up to hide ^G stuff |
| 14:12.35 | d-lo | ``Erik: that's too bad. Was thinking about making a bot that could play you some beep techno. :) |
| 14:12.56 | brlcad | starseeker: does the child still send the bytes, and parent still read then check for events? |
| 14:13.15 | starseeker | yep |
| 14:13.29 | brlcad | ahh, okay |
| 14:13.43 | brlcad | so then it is more what we were talking about yesterday |
| 14:14.04 | brlcad | something about those threads writing to an interp in a thread then updating events from another |
| 14:14.14 | starseeker | ah, wait - hang on. |
| 14:14.26 | brlcad | that's not just thread safety, if true |
| 14:14.38 | starseeker | brlcad: you mind if I commit it from the point where you had it last night, so I can revert if I screw up? |
| 14:14.53 | brlcad | why would i mind? :) |
| 14:15.20 | starseeker | you weren't committing last night :-P |
| 14:15.32 | brlcad | it wasn't working until the end there |
| 14:15.34 | starseeker | such a shocking change of commit behavior must have a reason :-P |
| 14:15.45 | starseeker | ah, point. |
| 14:15.57 | starseeker | <snort> 'course, it's not like it was doing so well before-hand either... |
| 14:16.18 | brlcad | probably should have check-pointed once the out-of-sequent lines were working |
| 14:16.25 | brlcad | but minor diff |
| 14:17.17 | starseeker | aaaaaaah, crap |
| 14:17.20 | starseeker | what'd I break |
| 14:17.25 | starseeker | one sec... |
| 14:17.27 | brlcad | heh |
| 14:17.49 | brlcad | well if you get stuck, you know where the stevens book is now.. :) |
| 14:18.05 | ``Erik | heh, yeh, the commit message is all about communicating what's going on, don't need commit messages that give ya the same feeling that "i++; // increment the value in i and store the result back in i" :) |
| 14:20.19 | brlcad | d-lo: the test should compile outright right now, probably more insightful to see the output it gives |
| 14:20.26 | brlcad | g++ ~/rt^3/src/tests/GeometryServiceTest.cxx |
| 14:20.28 | brlcad | ./a.out |
| 14:21.04 | d-lo | kk reading through it now. |
| 14:21.10 | brlcad | as pieces are implemented, those FAILURE lines will turn into SUCCESS lines |
| 14:21.27 | brlcad | it compiles without any headers/paths/etc as it's not hooked into anything yet |
| 14:21.53 | starseeker | blinks |
| 14:22.04 | starseeker | now it's drawing upside down |
| 14:22.13 | starseeker | that's hilarous, once I figure out what I did wrong... |
| 14:22.32 | brlcad | the classes it stubs are just testing harness -- they're not "the" GS server or client but the _tests_ bridge to one where the glue gets added |
| 14:22.50 | d-lo | right on |
| 14:23.16 | brlcad | starseeker: PhotoPutBlock was position-line# |
| 14:23.37 | brlcad | you probably just made it line# on the move |

| 22:28.57 | CIA-85 | BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r37861 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libfb/if_tk.c: OK, the child still returns, but the destroy event for the window still only works from the parent - so wrap the bu_exit call in the window destroy logic, and have the child process continue on its way with return 0. |
