| 20:48.16 | Alexandur | https://google-melange.appspot.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7945223 |
| 20:48.31 | Alexandur | about this task |
| 20:48.36 | brlcad | what would you like to know? |
| 20:49.40 | brlcad | did you look at the converter file mentioned in the description? |

| 20:52.57 | Alexandur_ | yes i am looking at it now so i need to edit what ? O |
| 20:53.49 | brlcad | Alexandur_: are you familiar with either the stl format or raw format? |
| 20:54.22 | Alexandur_ | well no.. but ofcourse this means i`ll look it up |
| 20:54.37 | brlcad | what about opengl display lists? |
| 20:56.56 | Alexandur_ | sortaaa, but why askin? |
| 20:57.29 | brlcad | if you don't understand what the task is having you do, you're going to have a really hard time doing the task, no? |
| 20:57.42 | brlcad | so the task is to create a geometry exporter |
| 20:57.54 | brlcad | for the RAW format ... which yes you have to look up |
| 20:58.04 | brlcad | you're writing out triangles |
| 20:58.20 | brlcad | the STL format is another relatively simple format but has slightly different syntax being output |
| 20:58.35 | brlcad | we provide our g-stl.c source as an example to help you |
| 20:59.15 | brlcad | you're going to copy that, change it to g-raw.c, update the stl references to raw references and then make the output actually be properly formatted RAW output |
| 21:00.17 | brlcad | you should run the g-stl program on one of our test geometry files so that you understand how it works |
| 21:01.06 | brlcad | raw is considerably simpler, but you'll need to understand how g-stl works to know what to eliminate/simplify |
| 21:02.24 | Alexandur_ | so where to find a test geometry file? |
| 21:02.43 | brlcad | there's a couple dozen provided in our distribution |
| 21:02.53 | brlcad | in the share/db directory |
| 21:04.42 | Notify | 03GCI:Titi * 8038205 Compile BRL-CAD with GCC 4.7+ on Raspberry Pi: okay - okay thanks |
| 21:05.54 | Alexandur_ | in the brld-cad which i checkouted from svn or on the svn somewhere |
| 21:07.49 | brlcad | build direcotry |
| 21:08.09 | brlcad | look for moss.g for example |
| 21:12.00 | Alexandur_ | ok so with 2 words i need to edit the g-stl.c so instead of stl the output should be a raw image? And ofcourse not to mention that for 48 hours i cant even get to know even half of the functions used in th Stl which should mean that i need to focus only on 1 thing for example function or case ??? |
| 21:13.44 | brlcad | it's not an image |
| 21:13.53 | brlcad | it's 'raw' format triangle data |
| 21:13.57 | brlcad | vertices |
| 21:14.16 | brlcad | 3 floating point values per vertex, three vertices per triangle |
| 21:15.06 | *** join/#brlcad Skriptkid (~Skriptkid@117.202.108.134) |
| 21:15.13 | brlcad | you certainly will not have enough time to understand all of the functions used in stl-g but fortunately you'll be using them identically -- just printing output differently |
| 21:15.53 | brlcad | Alexandur_: start by running g-stl successfully |
| 21:16.23 | brlcad | look at the stl file it produces with a text editor |
| 21:16.24 | Alexandur_ | tried :D but got library erros.. |
| 21:16.40 | brlcad | what OS are you on? |
| 21:17.31 | Alexandur_ | .. :D windows |
| 21:17.34 | brlcad | is there a language barrier or are you really this slow typing? :) |
| 21:17.38 | Alexandur_ | no |
| 21:17.51 | Alexandur_ | i got used to wait like 20min for answer |
| 21:17.52 | Alexandur_ | :D |
| 21:17.57 | brlcad | k |
| 21:18.11 | Skriptkid | brlcad: so all the test program had to take was one parameter? Which is the ncpu? |
| 21:18.27 | Alexandur_ | coz it iseems like you guys dont use irc as chat but more as forum |
| 21:18.31 | brlcad | Skriptkid: pretty much |
| 21:18.47 | brlcad | Skriptkid: there's certainly no harm in running the command multiple times |
| 21:19.03 | brlcad | and for parallel code, that might actually catch some stateful bug down the road |
| 21:19.14 | brlcad | but you don't actually test the function, so it's moot ;) |
| 21:19.20 | Alexandur_ | ok i`ll be off.. its time for some sleep |
| 21:19.29 | brlcad | Alexandur_: what library error? |
| 21:19.33 | Alexandur_ | common.h |
| 21:19.39 | brlcad | that's not a library |
| 21:19.46 | Alexandur_ | its header |
| 21:19.48 | Alexandur_ | sry |
| 21:20.05 | brlcad | running g-stl will not give you a header error |
| 21:20.19 | caen23 | have you compiled successfully with msvc? |
| 21:20.26 | Alexandur_ | running :D |
| 21:20.42 | brlcad | what does that mean? |
| 21:20.45 | Alexandur_ | wait nobody said i had to compile it :D |
| 21:20.56 | Alexandur_ | i mean |
| 21:21.04 | Alexandur_ | the whole project |
| 21:21.09 | brlcad | you are obviously going to need to compile your g-raw.c program, just like g-stl |
| 21:21.22 | Alexandur_ | otherwise i am trying to compile |
| 21:21.42 | Alexandur_ | .... :D i gcced it |
| 21:21.55 | Alexandur_ | g-stl |
| 21:22.00 | brlcad | you're not making much sense... |
| 21:22.07 | Alexandur_ | ok |
| 21:22.12 | Alexandur_ | will keep it simple |
| 21:22.13 | caen23 | i think he tried compiling g-stl.c individually |
| 21:22.22 | Alexandur_ | indeeed |
| 21:22.23 | brlcad | ahh |
| 21:23.00 | Skriptkid | I do understand what bu_parallel does. I had thought I needed to run bu_parallel N times with X CPUs. Is it possible to make a commit for this on svn? |
| 21:23.13 | brlcad | Alexandur_: you should really just say that, not "running" not "running the whole project" not "i gcced it" .. what is "it"!? |
| 21:23.57 | brlcad | Skriptkid: like I said, running it in a loop is fine |
| 21:24.57 | brlcad | the real test is running it at *least* 1 time with X CPUs, but no harm runnning more times if it were testing and not printing |
| 21:25.18 | Alexandur_ | gcced individually the stl-g.c.. sry guys i dont know how peps on my age can know soo many things like raw format and so on... the thing is that i had a task from school to do 2 google code in tasks and i need to do em... |
| 21:25.41 | Skriptkid | brlcad: okay. And about the error detection, I couldn't come up with anything, since everything is void and is based on using stderr. Any ideas on this? |
| 21:25.57 | brlcad | Alexandur_: that's okay, you're not supposed to know everything |
| 21:26.09 | brlcad | the problem hasn't been what you know or don't know but how you're communicating it |
| 21:26.28 | brlcad | I can't read your mind or know what commands you ran or what buttons you clicked on, etc |
| 21:26.45 | brlcad | if you need help, ask for help :) |
| 21:26.49 | brlcad | you're supposed to |
| 21:27.02 | brlcad | Skriptkid: of course ;) |
| 21:27.21 | Skriptkid | Tell me. I'll at least try implementing them. |
| 21:27.28 | brlcad | Skriptkid: everything is void, but you pass a parameter to bu_parallel() |
| 21:27.42 | brlcad | that parameter is passed to your function |
| 21:27.50 | brlcad | you even print that value (the cpu id in your case) |
| 21:28.01 | Alexandur_ | ok thats all for now coz i have to bed now guys... Good night |
| 21:28.03 | caen23 | Alexandur_: in your checkout version, go inside the "doc" folder and open README.Windows with a text editor. it will teach you how to compile on windows, but you will need a full (not express) version of visual c++. you can get a 90-day trial version from microsoft |
| 21:28.37 | brlcad | helpful as ever :) |
| 21:28.39 | Alexandur_ | kk i know how to compile the brl-cad |
| 21:28.42 | Alexandur_ | bb |
| 21:29.15 | Skriptkid | brlcad: so whenever a CPU Id missing, something is wrong with that run. |
| 21:29.31 | Skriptkid | *CPU id is missing |
| 21:29.48 | brlcad | you're providing the CPU id, so it should never be missing |
| 21:30.17 | brlcad | but sure, you could test that, but you still have to know whether it worked in the caller where bu_parallel() was invoked |
| 21:31.06 | brlcad | how can you do that? |
| 21:32.15 | Skriptkid | What if a modification is made to the thread_data structure I created in one task? A Boolean or int variable which holds if thread execution as successful or not? |
| 21:33.03 | brlcad | you're getting your tasks mixed up |
| 21:33.20 | brlcad | where do you have access to a thread_data structure? |
| 21:34.01 | Skriptkid | Sorry. That's not there yet. Forgot. |
| 21:34.10 | brlcad | lets say you want to test what you just said -- that you want to test whether the CPU id is non-negative inside your test function |
| 21:34.30 | brlcad | say we only invoke bu_parallel once |
| 21:34.38 | brlcad | it runs your test function |
| 21:35.02 | brlcad | what are some of the ways that main() can know whether test function found a non-negative value? |
| 21:36.33 | Skriptkid | A pointer as an argument to the test function? |
| 21:36.58 | brlcad | if you pass a pointer, how do you pass the cpu id? |
| 21:37.49 | andrei_ | brlcad: I know you are on a tight schedule so answer just if you have time: any specific plan to remove globals from remrt/remrt.c ? Thanks |
| 21:37.53 | Skriptkid | Hmm...yeah. That won't work. |
| 21:38.39 | brlcad | Skriptkid: you're on the right track but think even simpler -- there are a half dozen stupid ways you could do it really easily |
| 21:39.14 | Skriptkid | brlcad: Files? Some global variable? |
| 21:39.47 | brlcad | that'd be two ways, yep |
| 21:39.54 | brlcad | andrei_: specific plan as in? I think the answer is no, but removing globals is always a good thing |
| 21:40.07 | brlcad | you removing them is a fantastic idea ;) |
| 21:40.17 | brlcad | I saw your e-mail, it's four down in my queue atm ;) |
| 21:40.45 | andrei_ | I fixed the other one and nothing crashed so far :) |
| 21:41.05 | brlcad | andrei_: I suggest starting with just ONE global (like save_overlaps) and just trying to eliminate that one properly |
| 21:41.48 | brlcad | that way your approach will be really obvious, easy to review, and easier to discuss how it might apply to other globals .. most will be on a case-by-case as to how they should be eliminated |
| 21:42.14 | brlcad | Skriptkid: so yeah, you could just have the test function write a global that said "uh oh" and main would read it, and report the error |
| 21:42.42 | brlcad | Skriptkid: and yeah, you could write that same "uh oh" to a file, have main read it, etc |
| 21:43.18 | brlcad | but then both of those are very terrible computing practices |
| 21:43.29 | brlcad | horrible even (especially the file-based approach) |
| 21:44.02 | brlcad | how else can the test function send information back to main()? |
| 21:44.55 | brlcad | Skriptkid: reminder that you were on the right track... |
| 21:47.53 | Skriptkid | brlcad: I'm out of ideas here. I can think of passing a structure with pointer and CPU id. But that might be stupid too. |
| 21:48.29 | brlcad | why's that stupid? |
| 21:48.56 | Skriptkid | But...if the pointer holds a certain value and test function hasn't changed it, it can be and indication to main that there was a failure |
| 21:49.12 | Skriptkid | *an indication |
| 21:49.39 | brlcad | I'm sensing you haven't worked a whole lot with pointers just yet and that's fine, but that sounds brilliantly perfect to me |
| 21:50.35 | brlcad | it wouldn't need to be a pointer that "maybe" changes, it could be a simple int that is initialized to 0 and set to 1 by the test function if it fails |
| 21:51.33 | brlcad | or it could literally set the CPU id and main() could test whether they match |
| 21:52.29 | brlcad | the only issue is that you're passing a struct to bu_parallel() which then passes that single struct to multiple simultaneous copies of the test function |
| 21:52.40 | brlcad | so parallelism in play that you have to deal with |
| 21:53.05 | Skriptkid | Of course. But pass by reference will have to done right? Else the main wont be able to read it. |
| 21:53.19 | brlcad | have done what? |
| 21:53.55 | Skriptkid | You will need to pass a pointer to the structure. To the test function. |
| 21:53.56 | brlcad | sure it will pass your struct reference to X copies of the test function and they'll all be trying to set the same field |
| 21:54.11 | brlcad | try it |
| 21:54.25 | brlcad | simple enough test to see in action |
| 21:55.17 | Skriptkid | Will do. Next thing tomorrow(because its 4AM here now). How do I submit it? |
| 21:55.57 | brlcad | solution is to pass a pointer to struct containing a per-cpu array |
| 21:56.13 | brlcad | go ahead and work on it, I'll create another task for it later |
| 21:57.05 | Skriptkid | Okay. Thank you. |
| 22:00.42 | caen23 | brlcad: did you manage to set up the crit account? :D |
