03:48.53 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/m4/compiler.m4: meh
03:49.30 pra5ad sean
03:49.45 pra5ad where's that link to muscle pain
03:49.56 pra5ad someone posted here earlier
04:04.58 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/m4/ (epsilon.m4 Makefile.am): (log message trimmed)
04:04.58 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: new m4/epsilon.m4 file. define macros BC_TRY_RUN_OUTPUT, BC_FLOAT_EPSILON, and
04:04.58 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: BC_DOUBLE_EPSILON. BC_TRY_RUN_OUTPUT attempts to compile and run the provided
04:04.58 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: program, saving the output in the provided variable. this makes for really
04:04.58 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: convenient tests that can output a calculated value (like computation
04:04.59 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: tolerances). The latter two respectively determine the floating point tolerance
04:05.01 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: epsilon value (i.e. smallest value such that 1.0 + value != 1.0). ANSI defines
04:10.31 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac:
04:10.31 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: run AC_C_BIGENDIAN without overriding the if-true and if-false so that the
04:10.31 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: regular WORDS_BIGENDIAN define is provided (added for blt, which relies on it).
04:10.31 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: test for size of int and long so that the result is logged for debugging. add
04:10.31 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: checks to determine the floating point epsilon values too.
04:11.20 brlcad pra5ad: take some advil, or an anti-inflammatory ;)
04:25.19 justin_ if I'm going to add cam stuff to brl-cad, should I start a new project?
04:27.41 brlcad given the way you prefer to code, probably -- go for it
04:28.17 justin_ it's either that or I'm going to make a little opengl app
04:40.22 brlcad i'd say strip and use what you like, actually might make it easier to pull the good parts in and let you develop unhindered
04:44.02 justin_ I'm actually thinking about an alternate plan now
04:44.36 justin_ since milling only a handful of specialized functions for boring and threading mainly, I'll just build those into a light weight opengl app
04:44.50 justin_ *there exist
04:45.06 justin_ brl-cad can be used for generating geometry
04:47.08 justin_ going through the hassle of modeling threads and then converting back is silly
04:47.36 justin_ easier to just say "I want an #8-32 thread 6mm deep"
04:47.59 justin_ and have it know to do a helical sweep

08:30.45 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/m4/epsilon.m4:
08:30.45 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: add BC_COMPLIANT_FLOAT and BC_COMPLIANT_DOUBLE for determining whether the
08:30.45 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: floating point implementation seems to be IEEE 754 compliant. a handful of
08:30.45 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: tests are performed, namely checking that the epsilon tolerance matches the
08:30.46 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: defined power, making sure 0 == -0, and that -0 is actually implemented.
08:32.50 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: add the new BC_COMPLIANT_FLOAT and BC_COMPLIANT_DOUBLE tests

08:49.07 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/autogen.sh: fix a problem where the an aborted autogen.sh would leave a configure.ac.backup and a subsequent failing autoconf would restore the wrong/old backup. only restore if we made the backup.

17:08.02 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/blt/Makefile.am: their configure indicated they need socket, m, and nsl, so add them
17:14.54 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/blt/src/bltTree.c: there seem to be two macro names missing for systems where sizeof_void_p is 8 (MAX_LIST_VALUES and START_LOGSIZE) so move their defines outside the #if so everyone gets it.
18:25.50 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: add header checks for ieeefp.h, setjmp.h, and waitflags.h for the blt package, also add function checks for finite() and isfinit() from libm and a sizeof test for long long.

19:43.20 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: give the server something to do with the geometry sent to it -- the client can
19:43.20 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: specify objects that should be shot at via MSG_ARGS packets. the server stashes
19:43.20 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: those object names and then shoots a ray at them when the client disconnects.
19:43.20 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: since external packets actually include their data lengths inside, we don't need
19:43.21 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: to send that object length as a string. server now correctly stashes the
19:43.23 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: geometry as in-memory objects.
20:36.40 CIA-6 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/librt/db_open.c: ack, make sure the file pointer isn't null before trying to fclose it
