| 16:38.41 | brlcad | there's almost certainly a closed form, but someone would have to derive it |
| 16:40.53 | starseek1r | the superellipsoid? I took a quick look and what I found seems to indicate there isn't a general closed form solution |
| 16:41.28 | brlcad | might help to look at the shapes of the ellipsoid at various stable configurations (like 0,0=box 1,1=sphere and 2,2=prism) and see if there's an interpolation relationship |
| 16:41.58 | brlcad | don't see why there wouldn't be one |
| 16:42.17 | brlcad | piecewise, it's very well behaved |
| 16:42.35 | brlcad | each cross-section is an ellipse afterall |
| 16:42.40 | starseek1r | http://mathoverflow.net/questions/80243/surface-area-of-superellipsoid-dice |
| 16:42.46 | brlcad | surface area is an integral over circumferences, no? |
| 16:44.47 | starseek1r | maybe you could do it by defining numerical ranges within which various equations would apply... |
| 16:46.46 | starseek1r | numerical ranges for the input parameters |
| 16:50.34 | brlcad | interesting mathoverflow discussion |
| 16:51.10 | brlcad | basically saying to numerically integrate |
| 16:51.28 | brlcad | i like the second response/method more |
| 16:52.07 | brlcad | if i'm reading it right, it's a closed form approximation ... would be interesting to implement it and compare to gqa results |
| 16:54.11 | brlcad | starseeker: ./bn_private.h and they shouldn't have bn_ prefix if not public |
| 17:01.36 | ``Erik | I'd imagine that a symbol used in multiple .c/.h files should still have the prefix even if not explicitely "public".. the 'static' scope limitation is limited to a single C file and some OS's implicitely export non-static symbols, so they can pollute the symbol space... |

| 17:09.01 | brlcad | yeah, it should have a meaningful prefix, just not the public one |
| 17:09.54 | brlcad | we have a mix of _prefix_ and group_ in other places |
| 17:10.18 | brlcad | more a fan of the latter since starting a function with an underscore is technically taboo |
| 17:11.46 | brlcad | they already have a "coplanar_" group now if bn_ is removed, which would work just fine as the prefix |
| 17:21.09 | ``Erik | maybe a modified prefix, like "bnp_" (private) or "bnl_" (local/lib) |

| 22:15.04 | brlcad | I love working on that kind of stuff myself |
| 22:15.21 | brlcad | just saying, it's quite grunty ;) |
| 22:15.26 | starseeker | heh - don't have time today for the deep dive into the boolean logic that's next on the program |
| 22:16.07 | brlcad | also dangerous, like r58841 |
| 22:16.16 | brlcad | where's that memory free'd? |
| 22:16.50 | brlcad | (more than likely is not, leaving it to the caller, and that introduces a leak |
| 22:17.04 | brlcad | or previous was crashy |
| 22:17.08 | starseeker | double checks - thought I saw some freeing of that variable, but maybe not in the right place |
| 22:17.17 | starseeker | probably not if it wasn't crashing, come to think of it |
| 22:17.42 | brlcad | it would have had to check the value, obviously cannot free "__STALE__" |
| 22:18.02 | starseeker | we're strduping that variable at 183 |
| 22:18.29 | brlcad | or perhaps never encountered in which case your commit fixes the potential crash ... but I'd be a little surprised because that's the sort of thing coverity detects |
| 22:19.33 | starseeker | the fail goto destination frees it |
| 22:22.04 | starseeker | I think there is at least one path through there that puts something in mp->appl and doesn't free it |
| 22:22.18 | starseeker | (besides the one I just added) |
| 22:23.03 | brlcad | wonders what the callers do |
| 22:24.00 | starseeker | unless we are guaranteed to fail once we reach line 183, it looks like that strdup isn't freed |
| 22:25.16 | starseeker | meh - I can revert it if you prefer until we sort it out - we're a long way from clean C++ building |
| 22:26.21 | starseeker | my guess is if we've ever hit the case that triggers 183, we've just ended up with a small memory leak (i.e. my bet is the callers don't free it) |
| 22:28.35 | brlcad | every .g is opened as a mappedfile, so we'd see a leak in valgrind during normal use |
| 22:28.53 | brlcad | that was obviously an exception case, so either appl isn't used or it is free'd somewhere during normal calls |
| 22:29.13 | brlcad | I'd revert until someone traces it for certain |
| 22:29.31 | starseeker | reflects that all C++ compiling is going to be a doozy of a test to add to distcheck-full once we do get it working :-) |
