01:40.26andromeda-galaxyI'm trying to convert lc.tcl to lc.c; is using db_search() with DB_SEARCH_RETURN_UNIQ_DP the right way to get directory entries which can have db5_get_attributes() called on them?
01:54.05andromeda-galaxyActually, since I need the parent as well, I belive that using db_search() with DB_SEARCH_TREE and using DB_FULL_PATH_CUR_DIR() on the resultant db_full_path structs should work.  Is this correct?
02:10.51*** join/#brlcad kintel (~kintel@unaffiliated/kintel)
02:15.49starseekerthat should give you enough info
02:16.56starseekerand yes, if you need parents you'll need the full paths
02:17.31starseekerif you want just the parent and its immediate children in the path, use the depth limiter
02:18.16starseekerthe seach man page should cover the various options

04:48.15brlcadandromeda-galaxy: yes, a variety of ways
04:48.36brlcadpathp->fp_names[last-1]->d_flags & RT_DIR_REGION if you have a full-path for example
04:48.37andromeda-galaxybrlcad: hmm... I've been working on converting lc
04:48.48andromeda-galaxyto c
04:48.56brlcadtr_op == OP_REGION if youhave a tree pointer
04:49.19andromeda-galaxyThe TCL version has an option to ignore entries that are subtracted from their parents
04:49.53andromeda-galaxyAfter looking around, my current approach to that is:
04:50.19andromeda-galaxy-> Use region_flag to determine if a region (because I need the rt_comb_internal for the next step)
04:50.38brlcadI believe search manpage has an example on how to find objects within subtracted parents (which you could use to exclude such entities)
04:50.59andromeda-galaxy-> Do essentially what db_tree_flatten_describe() does, making a copy of the comb, flattening it, and looking at each leaf
04:51.18andromeda-galaxywould you prefer I use search? I found some other examples of application code using rt_comb_internal

04:54.44brlcadduplication is really bad
04:54.55brlcadespecially when it's only "slightly" different
04:55.08brlcadif it's signficantly different and nothing like it, then sure
04:55.10andromeda-galaxybrlcad: agreed... I was thinking about that myself
04:55.38andromeda-galaxyI was only trying to do it this way because I couldn't figure out another way...
04:55.55andromeda-galaxy(didn't think of search, noticed that the TCL did it by using 'l', followed the path of how 'l' found out)

04:56.31MarcTannousmy irc chat instance closed down, could not get to see if you replied regarding the addition of tasks
04:56.48andromeda-galaxybrlcad: but a better way to do it might be to just adjust the initial search string to skip any that are subtracted if the flag is given

05:09.28starseekerandromeda-galaxy: search does have some capabilities when it comes to booleans
05:09.51andromeda-galaxystarseeker: indeed, brlcad just mentioned that to me, and I converted it...
05:11.00starseekerusually the reason to avoid using db_search these days is if you need extreme performance (i.e. the malloc/free of db_full_path et. al. is too much overhead)
05:11.17andromeda-galaxystarseeker: ahh...
05:12.25starseekerthat's relatively rare - I've had to do it in the case of the Qt interface because some of the highlighting modes have to frequently analyze the entire .g file

05:13.35andromeda-galaxystarseeker: makes sense...
05:13.43starseekerbut for most user commands it's usually not a deal breaker, and (hopefully) it's easier to deal with db_search than the direct tree walking/manipulation of db_tree_flatten et. al.

05:15.14andromeda-galaxystarseeke: indeed... I didn't realize it could do what I needed it to at first, oh well.
05:15.50starseekernods - it's a bit non-intuitive, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the unix find command (me)
05:15.53andromeda-galaxystarseeker: also, please tell me that preserving the exact error message behavior from the original is really important... I spent a whole bunch of time thinking about how to do that despite moving to bu_getompt()
05:16.19andromeda-galaxystarseeker: I am used to unix find... I just hadn't expected brl-cad's to be as sophisticated as it was
05:16.38starseekerandromeda-galaxy: heh - I'm not familiar enough with the command to say
05:16.57starseekerour search actually uses BSD find code as its "engine"
05:17.03andromeda-galaxyreally... interesting
05:17.24starseekerwas Sean's idea, and I got sort of carried away implementing it...
05:17.58andromeda-galaxystarseeker: ahh... well, having it be more powerful is probably better than having it be not powerful enough
05:17.59starseekermajor piece that we're missing at this point is -exec
05:18.24andromeda-galaxythat's what I was just thinking of! with -exec, you could almost replace rt_db_walk with db_find, right?
05:18.56starseekeryou could, but it's quite possible that the raytracing core is another of those areas where performance really counts
05:19.01starseekereven likely
05:19.13andromeda-galaxystarseeker: true.
05:19.33starseekerthere are a number of MGED commands that can/should switch to using search as a back-end
05:20.02starseekerit's a relatively recent development in BRL-CAD's history, so it's not widely integrated into things as yet
05:20.48andromeda-galaxyhopefully soon!
05:20.53starseekermy personal favorite is the new gdiff command - it can accept search filters to display subsets of output
05:21.48andromeda-galaxysounds useful
05:22.26starseekerthe trick when comparing two .g files (which may have a *lot* of differences) is how to display information in a useful fashion
05:24.13starseekerthat's one nice thing about CAD - no shortage of interesting problems ;-)
05:24.19andromeda-galaxyindeed :-)
05:25.27brlcadMarcTannous: I saw your list of tasks, thanks, will get some added
05:25.46MarcTannousbrlcad: thank you :D is the split layout a "doable" concept?
05:27.07starseekerandromeda-galaxy: nice work by the way on those file conversions
05:27.17andromeda-galaxystarseeker: thanks!
05:28.14starseekeryou were thinking the next task in that series should be how to translate the Fortran input handling?
05:28.23andromeda-galaxystarseeker: I was
05:28.32ignacioGood night everyone!
05:28.37andromeda-galaxyI have the first of of naca465.c done, and then I ran into reading the input
05:29.11starseekerandromeda-galaxy: is it a parsing problem (flex/bison style) or more a question of how to store what's being read in?
05:29.21andromeda-galaxystarseeker: probably a little bit of both
05:29.40andromeda-galaxyI think that using a parser generator is probably a bit overkill, though
05:29.49starseekerOK :-)
05:30.10brlcadMarcTannous: it's certainly doable, though I don't think it works for this particular list of do's/don'ts as optimally
05:30.14starseekerwas going to point you to perplex/re2c/lemon if that became necessary, but better to keep it simple if we can
05:30.33brlcadi think that approach will be better for the topics I mentioned, where the do's have little/nothing to do with the don'ts
05:30.33andromeda-galaxystarseeker: indeed.
05:30.58MarcTannousyes, you are correct, I realised that pretty much at the end when testing
05:31.02brlcadfor style, you kind of what to see the good right next to the bad, so it's clear what the point was
05:31.25starseekerandromeda-galaxy: remind me tomorrow if we don't get it posted, but it sounds like you aren't having trouble finding interesting things to do in the meantime ;-)

12:56.33andrei_what do you mean, YashM ?
12:59.13YashM_he was doing an eliminating global var task yesterda
13:00.37andrei_he probably finished it
13:00.55YashM_he didnt
13:01.19YashM_i think putting the var in a common header file isnt eliminating
13:01.35andrei_is the task closed?
13:01.52MarcTannousandrei_,yashm_ I put it on 'pause' for the time being as there were quite a few graphics task I could complete
13:01.55andrei_I don t have the task at hand, I just  have a good idea which one you re talking about
13:02.08MarcTannousand I also had no idea on where to add the function Sean requested without making it global
13:02.24MarcTannousdue to the fact that that exact array was being used in more than one folder of /src/
13:02.56andrei_MarcTannous: I don t think it's the case, but some global variables removal can be real tricky
13:03.53MarcTannousandrei_, I also thought this was easy but it is being used in numerous files that have no common header, are in different folders and their "lowest" common "ancestor", if we were to think of the directory as a tree, would be /src/
13:04.19MarcTannousso I think that declaring it non-globally would not work

22:28.22starseekerandromeda-galaxy: I'm afraid I don't
22:28.39andromeda-galaxystarseeker: oh well...
22:28.49starseekerdoes the code cite any papers?
22:29.02andromeda-galaxyUnfortunately, no
22:29.53andromeda-galaxyb
22:30.11andromeda-galaxysorry, trying to switch buffer but didn't press C-x hard enough
22:31.13starseekerandromeda-galaxy: this might be useful (not sure) http://geomalgorithms.com/a07-_distance.html
22:31.35andromeda-galaxyI just found that myself, looking for the sc/tc variables used in the code
22:31.42andromeda-galaxyI'll look and see if it seems like it's correct
22:34.26starseekerhttp://paulbourke.net/geometry/pointlineplane/
22:36.29starseekerandromeda-galaxy: ah, I think this was what I was thinking of:  http://www.geometrictools.com/Samples/Geometrics.html#DistanceSegments3
22:36.58andromeda-galaxystarseeker: looks promising
22:37.18andromeda-galaxythe code near the end of http://geomalgorithms.com/a07-_distance.html looks pretty much the same as ours, al8so
22:37.18starseekerBoost license, so OK to use - would have to be translated to our data types, of course...

22:37.58andromeda-galaxyso that algorithm is probably correct

22:42.29starseekeris almost tempted to make some GCI tasks to convert some of those algorithms to libbn algorithms...
22:43.09andromeda-galaxyI think that the problem ma have been the fact that previously pdist = sc * magnitude(pdir) and qdist = tc * magnitude(qdir)
22:44.08andromeda-galaxyI noticed that the algorithm described on the geomalgorithms.com page didn't include those terms, so I tried removing them, and it seems to be working better...
22:45.10andromeda-galaxystarseeker: but further investigating shows that the function was doing the right thing, it's just that the caller was doing it wrong
22:45.23starseekerah
22:45.44andromeda-galaxythe difference between what t should be for them to intersect and the actual distance to the intersection point can be somewhat subtle
22:46.21starseekerfeel free to add any comments/examples you think might help illustrate how to use it correctly :-)
22:46.45andromeda-galaxymight be worth rephrasing part of the header comment, not entirely sure..
22:52.14starseekerandromeda-galaxy: do you think the task of translating some of the GeometricTools (a.k.a WildMagic) C++ algorithms into BRL-CAD would be of interest as GCI tasks?
22:52.29andromeda-galaxystarseeker: quite possibly...
22:53.09starseekerthey have a whole slew of interesting bits in there
22:53.34andromeda-galaxyindeed
22:55.40starseekeryeesh they even have surface fitting of some sort
22:55.59andromeda-galaxywow!
22:56.15starseekerdoubt it's to a closed solid, but still...
22:57.14starseekerthat oriented bounding box code might be interesting - would like to replace the code we currently use for that, if this is reasonably fast...
22:57.31andromeda-galaxyhmmm...
22:59.21andromeda-galaxystarseeker: the header comment for bn_isect_line_lseg() says that it returns the value of t for the intersection
22:59.28andromeda-galaxybut it *actually* returns the distance to the intersection
22:59.35starseekerOK, so that's a bug
22:59.39starseeker(documentation)
23:00.01andromeda-galaxySince everything else is probably already built around that, I should change the documentation and the tests, but not the code, right?
23:00.04starseekeror actually, might be worth checking if any code uses it
23:00.33starseekerright, unless the code looks like it is assuming it's returning t (might be a source of more bugs)
23:00.43starseekers/code/calling code/
23:01.05andromeda-galaxypretty much just nmg_rt_isect.c
23:01.59andromeda-galaxyisect_ray_lseg(), which calls, it does assume it to the distance along the ray (scans it into a variable called dist_along_ray)
23:02.16starseekerOK, so yeah it's a doc fix then
23:02.42starseekerO.o http://www.geometrictools.com/Source/Interpolation.html
23:02.53starseekeryeow
23:03.48andromeda-galaxyI think I did find a real bug in the function too, though
23:03.59starseekersweet
23:04.04andromeda-galaxyisect_point was basically being set to the vector between p and the intersection
23:04.11andromeda-galaxyinstead of the intersection itself
23:04.28andromeda-galaxyVSCALE(isect_pt, d_unit, dist1)
23:04.42andromeda-galaxyi.e. d units along p in the direction of dist1
23:04.53andromeda-galaxyit caused the return values to be wrong once in a while, I think
23:07.03starseekersounds like it might have been trying to return the parameterization after all then
23:07.28andromeda-galaxyI'm not sure... the situation overalli s a little weird
23:08.11andromeda-galaxyit just used the isect_pt to calculate how for off A and B were, to decide where on the infinite line around A<->B the hit was
23:08.17starseekerif it is actually returning the value t along the ray, then to get the 3d intersection point will require another calculation step
23:10.04andromeda-galaxyisect = t + p, right?
23:11.13starseekert is a parameterization along one of the line segments (if I'm understanding correctly) so you'd plug t into whatever the parametric equation is for that segment
23:11.44andromeda-galaxythe function is given P and D, for line X = P = tD
23:11.58andromeda-galaxyI mean, X = P + tD
23:12.14andromeda-galaxyso if k (say) is the distance down the ray, then isect_Pt = P + k
23:12.26starseekerso wouldn't p(intersect) = P + t(intersect)D ?
23:12.29andromeda-galaxy(k is distance in the correct direction, thats's the d_unit scale ffrom earlier)
23:12.40andromeda-galaxystarseeker: it would, if t is the parameter for intersect
23:12.49andromeda-galaxybut the function is returning the distance (tD) not the parameter
23:13.08andromeda-galaxy(which appears to be expected, the documentation must have been wrogn)
23:13.30andromeda-galaxythe bug I found was that given all of that, it basically did isect_pt = tD instead of isect_Pt = P + tD
23:14.04starseekersuggests constructing a few test cases where you know the answers to see if it all makes sense
23:14.35andromeda-galaxyremembers that I should actually go fix those tests, since this whole thing came out of trying to fix the tests
23:16.35starseekerheh
23:27.57andromeda-galaxywhen did the regression tests get integrated into make test?
23:28.41andromeda-galaxyand.... They all pass!
23:33.05andromeda-galaxystarseeker: over the course of the day, I've gotten the number of failing tests down to 5! (70, 575, 576, 638, 643)
23:39.29starseekerawesome!
23:39.52starseekerthat's recent
23:40.03starseekerto run just the non-regression tests, do "make check"
23:42.46andromeda-galaxyahh...
23:42.49andromeda-galaxythat'll speed things ut
23:43.02andromeda-galaxy*uep
23:43.48andromeda-galaxyfor me, two of the regression tests fail when run with 'make test', but don't seem to be a problem when run with 'make regress'
23:43.56andromeda-galaxyany idea what's causing that?
23:50.07andromeda-galaxyalso, is there any reason not to just turn bn_vec_ae() into a call to bn_vec_aed?
23:55.04StragusThat would mean more overhead, unnecessary computations
