| 11:41.14 | andrei | hey |
| 11:41.24 | andrei | what do you need help with, Alexandur ? |
| 11:43.37 | Alexandur | this is my task - http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7945220 |
| 11:43.56 | Alexandur | i need to know if i should compile the cad with cmake and select dev c++ compilers or |
| 11:43.59 | Alexandur | with dev c++ |
| 11:45.50 | YatharthROCK | brlcad, Are color pixel files those encoded normally or those encoded in ASCII Hex files? |
| 11:46.01 | andrei | I think you should compile with cmake and select dev++ compiler |
| 11:46.52 | andrei | Alexandur: because you can't (or is very difficult) to compile brlcad without the cmake logic. |
| 11:47.23 | YatharthROCK | andrei, Stupid question: Why do you need Dev C++ to compile BRL-CAD? Can't cmake and make do everything? |
| 11:48.30 | andrei | YatharthROCK: cmake isn't a compiler, it s a builder. For example, for C files, you need a C compiler |
| 11:49.51 | YatharthROCK | andrei, Ohh... another stupid question. I'd compiled/built BRL-CAD on my machine w/o Dev C++. How were the C files (which are most of BRL-CADs utilities) compiled here? |
| 11:50.07 | YatharthROCK | andrei, Also, color pixel files those encoded normally or those encoded in ASCII Hex files? |
| 11:50.38 | andrei | YatharthROCK, Dev C++ isn't the only compiler. If you have gcc it would have compiled fine |
| 11:50.39 | andrei | :) |
| 11:50.46 | andrei | or g++ |
| 11:51.18 | andrei | and regarding color pixel files, I'm not sure I understand the question |
| 11:51.27 | YatharthROCK | andrei, I used gcc. I didn't really know what it did then, though. |
| 11:52.43 | andrei | GCC stands for gnu c compiler. It is opensource aswell and it is mostly found on unix based systems |
| 11:53.01 | YatharthROCK | I was documenting asc2pix. In the wikis, it said asc2pix and pix2asc were used to encode and decode color pixel files. These commands take pics in bainry form and convert them to hex ASCII ones. I wanted to know whther color pixel files referred to the ASCII files or the binary one to... |
| 11:53.31 | YatharthROCK | andrei, What are these C files compiled into? |
| 11:54.06 | andrei | well, a computer can't read the code as we write it |
| 11:55.10 | andrei | C files are translated in binary files |
| 11:55.22 | andrei | binary files are files that contain code that is "readable" by a computer |
| 11:55.47 | andrei | try writing some simple program, compile it. Then run hexdump on the compiled one ( object) |
| 11:56.18 | andrei | What I said is a "simplified" version of what really happens |
| 11:56.38 | andrei | so I might have eluded important aspects acidentally, if anyone can corect me, please feel free to do so :) |
| 11:56.45 | YatharthROCK | andrei, I know. What is binary? As in, how is it represented or what reads and executes it? The OS? The chipset or something? |
| 11:57.06 | YatharthROCK | OK, trying right now |
| 11:57.34 | andrei | binary code is ultimately a succesion of 1's and 0's |
| 11:58.38 | andrei | as for what reads and writes, it s usually the hdd. |
| 11:59.09 | YatharthROCK | andrei, Hard Disk Drive? |
| 11:59.26 | andrei | yes |
| 11:59.33 | andrei | the execution isn't that straight forward I believe |
| 11:59.45 | andrei | as both CPU and RAM are implied |
| 11:59.50 | andrei | (not that RAM executes anything) |
| 12:00.40 | YatharthROCK | andrei, Wait, the RAM is like a desktop for your drawer, a container for things you'r working on right now. Random Access Memory. |
| 12:00.54 | YatharthROCK | CPU is the thing that executes everything else, right? |
| 12:01.21 | YatharthROCK | And a HDD is just a storage medium. How can it execute anything? |
| 12:01.29 | andrei | I never sait it executes |
| 12:01.33 | andrei | I said just it reads and writes |
| 12:01.36 | YatharthROCK | BTW, any ideas on the color pixel question? |
| 12:01.48 | YatharthROCK | Oh sorry, misread |
| 12:03.10 | andrei | I have only worked with pgm images so far |
| 12:03.22 | andrei | And there a pixel was an positive integer value |
| 12:04.09 | YatharthROCK | All this befuddles my brain, at the lowest level, someone must have coded up a chipset in 1s and 0s. Then that went into making Assembly. That was leveraged by the OS. It's code was used by custom compilers. These are then used by programmers like us. It's useful as it abstracts away everything. But lower down *someone* must have written 1s and 0s, right? |
| 12:04.33 | YatharthROCK | andrei, pgm images? |
| 12:05.38 | andrei | YatharthROCK, if you want to learn about it try reading about punched cards |
| 12:05.53 | andrei | and pgm is a image format. Just like jpg or gif |
| 12:06.31 | andrei | oh, hold on I didn't see one of your replies, sorry. |
| 12:12.12 | andrei | I'm looking at the file right now |
| 12:15.08 | andrei | well, both the output and the input seem binary. |
| 12:15.55 | andrei | that is actually a map function that is applied to each pixel in a file |
| 12:21.18 | YatharthROCK | andrei, Yeah, but the output can be encoded in ASCII and it's portable, right? |
| 12:22.23 | andrei | well, I believe so :) |
| 12:24.41 | Alexandur | how should i compile brlcad with cmake and native compilers or with toolchain file ? (the gci task to compile with dev c++) |
| 12:25.43 | Alexandur | also if i choose the native compiler option which generator should i use |
| 12:33.51 | Alexandur | any mentor? |
| 12:37.44 | caen23 | Alexandur: have you read doc/README.Windows? |
| 12:38.07 | caen23 | it's explained properly, but you'll have to replace MSVC w/ Dev-C++ |
| 12:38.50 | Alexandur | i checked it out , but will look closer |
| 12:38.59 | Alexandur | thanks |
| 12:40.16 | Alexandur | the first thing that comes to me is -> do i need visual studio to be installed on my system?? |
| 12:40.23 | caen23 | nu |
| 12:40.26 | caen23 | no* |
| 12:41.10 | caen23 | do you have a copy of the brlcad trunk? |
| 12:41.38 | Alexandur | i have source i think 7.22.0 |
| 12:41.57 | Alexandur | from sourceforge? |
| 12:42.53 | caen23 | i don't think the sources are up to date. you need to download TortoiseSVN and then download the brlcad from svn, which has the latest modifications to the source |
| 12:44.07 | Alexandur | well i followed the links from my task |
| 12:44.07 | caen23 | "the brlcad" <-- awesome |
| 12:46.17 | caen23 | what you have is the code for version 7.22.0 of the program. that was released in september, but from september until today many changes have been made to the source |

| 12:52.06 | Alexandur | ok this wasnt stated anywhere in my task so i cant know about it :D |
| 12:53.15 | Alexandur | can i get the lastest version frim git? |
| 12:54.21 | caen23 | i think there was a git repo, but brlcad uses subversion for version control |
| 12:54.58 | caen23 | for this purpose, it's almost the same thing |
| 12:56.03 | Alexandur | ok can you pm me link for the svn coz i`ll searching for ages for it |
| 12:56.30 | caen23 | search for TortoiseSVN |
| 12:58.17 | caen23 | then from the command prompt, you can do `svn checkout https://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/brlcad/brlcad/trunk brlcad` to download the latest sources |

| 13:03.16 | stevenkou | for my task on http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7961226, what can i try to work on to get the compiling working? |
| 13:05.11 | andrei | well, where is it failing? |
| 13:05.38 | andrei | have you checked the logs provided? |
| 13:05.58 | stevenkou | during make, it fails due to 2 errors on zlib, 1 in the makefile |
| 13:06.25 | andrei | you need to be a bit more specific |
| 13:07.26 | stevenkou | I don't quite understand what logs provided, the latest 2 txt files that I have submitted contains more specific details regarding my problem, I can paste the essential portions here if required |
| 13:08.28 | stevenkou | # First zlib error originates from /src/other/libz/CMakeFiles/zlib-static.dir/flags.make at line 10 with the flag -w |
| 13:08.28 | stevenkou | # Second zlib error originates from /src/other.libz/CMakeFiles/zlib.dir/flags.make at line 10 with the flag -w |
| 13:08.28 | stevenkou | # Third error occurs due to line 147 of makefile |
| 13:08.42 | stevenkou | That is my conclusion so far |
| 13:15.42 | andrei | from your build log |
| 13:15.50 | andrei | [ 0%] /usr/bin/windres: invalid option -- w |
| 13:15.50 | andrei | Usage: /usr/bin/windres [option(s)] [input-file] [output-file] |
| 13:16.04 | stevenkou | -w is not accepted by windres.exe |
| 13:16.37 | andrei | brlcad might not compile entirely by cygwin and that's ok, but I think the issues should be further down |
| 13:17.25 | andrei | well, note your issue there, try fixing the error |
| 13:17.27 | andrei | and move forward |
| 13:17.28 | andrei | :) |
| 13:17.57 | stevenkou | I can skip zlib to avoid these errors but I don't think I should do that, the error that I don't understand is at the end of every failure, it talks abou "all" |
| 13:19.37 | andrei | I m not sure if you could skip zlib( I don't know what it does) |
| 13:20.15 | stevenkou | It can be skipped if the system has it already, but it is missing from cygwin, which is why I am not skipping it |
| 13:22.11 | andrei | see if this helps you : http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt |
| 13:25.02 | Alexandur | caen23: How to specify different generator ? It seems like its available in the GUI version |

| 13:27.38 | caen23 | let me check |
| 13:28.37 | andrei | Alexandur, what do you need help with? |
| 13:28.38 | Alexandur | or its not available |

| 13:31.28 | Alexandur | so far i`ve downloaded cmake and selected the lastest project ,, i`ve also selected a proper build path |
| 13:31.56 | Alexandur | and when i click configure and select microsoft visual studio as a generator nothing happens at all |
| 13:32.13 | Alexandur | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:33.08 | Alexandur | andrei or caen any idea? |
| 13:34.09 | caen23 | andrei: i think he needs to use mingw as the generator, but on windows brlcad only has an msvc generator? i could be wrong, though |
| 13:34.53 | Alexandur | i can choose mingw makefiles |
| 13:35.18 | Alexandur | and recieve a ton of errors.. |

| 15:03.12 | Skriptkid | GCC 4.2.1 |
| 15:03.22 | Skriptkid | LLVM build |
| 15:04.13 | Skriptkid | Is there a problem? |
| 15:04.27 | brlcad | well, just the build failure is unexpected :) |
| 15:04.32 | Skriptkid | (excpet of course that bug in strict mode, which I'm fixing now) |
| 15:04.34 | brlcad | Skriptkid: that's good, mark it complete :) |
| 15:04.42 | brlcad | oh, and upload your config |
| 15:04.50 | Skriptkid | Gimme a little time. I'll try fixing it. |
| 15:05.55 | Skriptkid | The master config? It's on the server itself. There's no config file for slave. Only some info files(Admin name, email addr) |
| 15:06.08 | brlcad | i meant a client one, interesting |
| 15:06.22 | brlcad | so it just contacts yours on whatever port is specified |
| 15:06.37 | brlcad | what was the comment about blamelist? |
| 15:07.18 | Skriptkid | When you open the page of a build, there's a section called 'Blamelist.' Erik's name appears in it. I just said I have nothing to do with this. |
| 15:07.44 | brlcad | Skriptkid: you can mark it complete, we can create another task to properly fix the mac build failures |
| 15:07.47 | brlcad | okay |
| 15:08.07 | brlcad | I think that's buildbot trying to figure out who caused the error |
| 15:08.11 | brlcad | erik was last to commit |
| 15:09.09 | Skriptkid | Ah..I see |
| 15:09.58 | Skriptkid | On your slave question("So it contacts on…") - Slave contacts the master on the port specified in the master cfg file on the port specified, with an authentication name and password. |
| 15:12.08 | brlcad | Skriptkid: except the master can also invoke a build request down to configured slaves, so I'm curious how that interaction works |
| 15:13.13 | Skriptkid | there's an object called "Forcebuild" in the cfg file. That might answer that question(Not sure though, as this is a guess.) |
| 15:13.46 | brlcad | how long did it take to set everything up? |
| 15:14.29 | brlcad | new task: fix mac buildbot errors: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8081208 |
| 15:15.10 | caen23 | brlcad: so with strict and release enabled, i now get 4 errors. three are related to out of bound arrays and one is an uninitialization. how can i check to see what causes the array "out of bounds" error? i solved one by making the array larger (50 instead of 40), but i don't think this is the correct way to do it |
| 15:15.42 | brlcad | caen23: the out of bounds arrays are almost certainly a bug |
| 15:15.48 | caen23 | gcc bug? |
| 15:15.54 | brlcad | no, bug in our code |
| 15:15.56 | Skriptkid | brlcad: 30 mins. Took time to download the src. And fix errors.(And also because it was late night when I started it and had to go sleep.) |
| 15:16.27 | Skriptkid | 2 hours, including everything |
| 15:16.51 | brlcad | Skriptkid: okay, yeah, then definitely close it out |
| 15:16.58 | brlcad | evens out with all the affinity work ;) |
| 15:17.19 | brlcad | which, by the way, there are additional tasks written up for that, just not published until we get your patch integrated |
| 15:17.20 | Skriptkid | Hehe :) |
| 15:17.26 | Skriptkid | Ok |
| 15:17.29 | brlcad | so close it out |
| 15:17.37 | brlcad | claim the other if you like or can move on ;) |
| 15:17.52 | brlcad | should be an easy fix |
| 15:17.53 | Skriptkid | brlcad: Closed. Sorry I couldn't fix that bug though |
| 15:18.21 | Skriptkid | Which is the "other" one? |
| 15:18.25 | caen23 | brlcad: is there a way i can see where gcc finds it? one happens inside the loop of a function, so the values are set elsewhere. can i see where using some sort of debugger? |
| 15:18.32 | brlcad | 'inline' is set up by brlcad/misc/CMake/CheckCInline.cmake |
| 15:18.47 | Skriptkid | Oh, and by the way, that error pops up only in strict |
| 15:18.51 | brlcad | that should be testing and ensuring that 'inline' is set to a proper keyword |
| 15:19.07 | brlcad | strict is the default, what we expect to work everywhere |
| 15:19.33 | Skriptkid | ok. I closed it |
| 15:19.43 | Skriptkid | and which si the other task you were talking about? |
| 15:19.46 | Skriptkid | *os |
| 15:19.55 | Skriptkid | *is |
| 15:20.08 | Skriptkid | :-$ |
| 15:20.26 | brlcad | what do you mean? |
| 15:20.51 | brlcad | caen23: gcc only reports the end state so you have to trace backwards |
| 15:21.19 | Skriptkid | nothing, nothing. "discussed on IRC" answered it |
| 15:23.39 | caen23 | brlcad: yes, but if i have something like "void f(int n) { for(i = 0; i < n; i++) a[i] = 1; }" and it's called in three files, but in one of them, the call is f(20) and a only has 10 elements, can i use a tool to find out which file called f(20), or do i have to find it by hand? |

| 16:33.11 | Skriptkid | brlcad: Might need some help on fixing that issue. I tried adding a "typedef unsigned int foo_ut" and then another two function with this type. But no result. Still fails. |
| 16:39.29 | caen23 | are the errors related to inline? |
| 16:39.48 | caen23 | Skriptkid: the ones here? http://crit.brlcad.org/buildbot/builders/mac-tester/builds/7/steps/Compile/logs/stdio |
| 16:40.23 | Skriptkid | yes |
| 16:40.30 | caen23 | see if this helps http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html#inline |
| 16:40.42 | caen23 | i think it's clang that's causing this error |
| 16:42.04 | Skriptkid | thanks :D I'll see that |
| 16:43.51 | Skriptkid | hmm…nope. But thanks anyway :) |

| 16:49.05 | Skriptkid | brlcad: What does it mean? |
| 16:49.44 | brlcad | caen23: gcc's not quite that good yet, but there are other tools (static analysis) |
| 16:50.04 | brlcad | gcc does detect that case you mention, so usually it's just a matter of backtracking |
| 16:51.06 | Skriptkid | So I do a static program analysis now? |
| 16:51.07 | brlcad | visualize the call tree -- it's almost always either a fixed value like f(20) or it's a function that sometimes takes a dynamically allocated array and in that one file theres a int g[10] |
| 16:51.15 | brlcad | Skriptkid: that's for caen23 |
| 16:51.19 | Skriptkid | ok |
| 16:51.42 | brlcad | Skriptkid: you need to understand the error or you can't really have a hope of fixing it, right? :) |
| 16:52.12 | Skriptkid | Yep :) |
| 16:52.16 | brlcad | start with the error message, and parse it |
| 16:52.27 | brlcad | what don't you understand, what do you think you understand |
| 16:53.03 | Skriptkid | I understand that it's something to do with inline unsigned int. I don't understand the "extension used" |
| 16:58.59 | caen23 | brlcad: thanks |
| 16:59.28 | Skriptkid | brlcad: ?? |
| 17:04.27 | YatharthROCK | brlcad, Can you review my task please? http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8104208 |
| 17:37.56 | brlcad | Skriptkid: very much has to do with inline unsigned int |
| 17:38.05 | brlcad | more specifically, which word is the arrow under |
| 17:38.10 | Skriptkid | inline |
| 17:38.33 | brlcad | that is the extension |
| 17:38.50 | brlcad | C hasn't always had that keyword |
| 17:38.56 | brlcad | c99 has it |
| 17:38.58 | brlcad | c89 did not |
| 17:39.29 | brlcad | c89 DID have it if you enable certain extensions to the compiler |
| 17:39.38 | brlcad | and that was different from compiler to compiler |
| 17:40.03 | Skriptkid | so my gcc build is based on C89? |
| 17:40.22 | brlcad | if you compiled with VERBOSE=1, you'd see the actual compile line |
| 17:40.44 | brlcad | it has an option specified that says something like -std=c89 |
| 17:41.03 | brlcad | so the compiler is correctly saying "well, you want to compile in strict c89 mode, but c89 didn't have 'inline'" |
| 17:41.15 | brlcad | that's where the cmake file comes it |
| 17:41.17 | brlcad | s/it/in |
| 17:41.52 | brlcad | it should have found that out and defined inline to be something else |
| 17:42.01 | brlcad | so something's not right in the build system |
| 17:42.09 | Skriptkid | ahh…so this requires editing of CompilerFlags.cmake? |
| 17:43.19 | brlcad | maybe |
| 17:43.26 | brlcad | that's certainly a place to start |
| 17:43.41 | brlcad | looking at your cmake output to see what the results of those tests were |
| 17:44.12 | brlcad | you can also look in your build directory CMakeFiles directory where you'll find two text files with output and errors |
| 17:44.22 | brlcad | see what you find relating to the inline tests |
| 17:44.50 | brlcad | even better, start by reading CompilerFlags.cmake and see if you understand what it's doing |
| 17:46.44 | Skriptkid | I'll do that. What does the flag "-Wlanguage-extension-token" do? |
| 17:49.22 | brlcad | all of the -W flags enable or disable a particular warning |
| 17:49.52 | brlcad | that one tells the compiler to warn if it sees we're using language extensions |
| 17:50.29 | brlcad | the general idea is to still compile in c89 strict mode, but then use a mechanism that doesn't invoke a warning |
| 17:50.39 | brlcad | there's almost certainly a way |
| 17:52.07 | YatharthROCK | brlcad, Can you review my task please? http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8104208 |
| 17:52.33 | brlcad | YatharthROCK: you do realize there is a queue, yes? |
| 17:52.48 | brlcad | asking repeatedly is not very polite |
| 17:54.07 | YatharthROCK | brlcad, Sorry. I wanted to start working on another task as our winter hols started and I didn't have anything to do all day. Getting no response, I thought maybe you hadn't seen or noticed it or something. Sorry again... |
| 17:54.15 | brlcad | I'd just reviewed it a few minutes ago, a little patience goes a long way |
| 17:55.24 | YatharthROCK | I got an e-mail notification some seconds after I asked you right now -_- |
| 17:55.59 | Skriptkid | brlcad: So make is complaining that the language extensions have been used and are not supposed to be used in strict mode? |
| 17:56.07 | brlcad | YatharthROCK: asking me to do something will frequently get no response -- asking how long you might expect before it'll be reviewed might get you a more specific response ;) |
| 17:56.16 | YatharthROCK | For the example, I should include a example workflow, yes? As in a sample situation where the command might come handy. |
| 17:56.30 | YatharthROCK | I'll keep that in mind. Sorry again... |
| 17:56.48 | brlcad | workflow, no. example, yes |
| 17:57.02 | YatharthROCK | And yes, I did choose that task so I wouldn't have to do any real work ;) |
| 17:57.44 | brlcad | it's a very simple command, an example should be very simple too -- just needs a real world example |
| 17:58.01 | YatharthROCK | brlcad, I mean like I should give a command outputting a pix file. Then one that converts it to ASCII. Then one that converts it back. That's it |
| 17:58.06 | YatharthROCK | k, I |
| 17:58.11 | YatharthROCK | 'll work on it |
| 17:58.15 | brlcad | also, you can start on another task before we mark a task completed |

| 17:59.08 | brlcad | YatharthROCK: that example would be fine, sure |
| 17:59.26 | brlcad | could include that example in the old man page too |
| 18:00.05 | brlcad | Skriptkid_: basically yes |
| 18:00.31 | brlcad | Skriptkid_: the trick, though, is that you can usually use those features without using the "extension" (i.e., "inline") |
| 18:00.39 | brlcad | that's where reading that cmake file should help |
| 18:00.50 | brlcad | you'll see how it tries a variety of variations on 'inline' |
| 18:01.06 | brlcad | does __inline work, does __inline__ work, ... |
| 18:01.26 | brlcad | if "inline" by itself worked, then the compile flags are wrong |
| 18:03.07 | Skriptkid_ | Does the check loop in the cmake break if it encounters a problem with one of those three different variations? |
