irclog2html for #brlcad on 20060603

00:44.20 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/sh/shtool: treat screen as vt100, avoid the error message about determining how to do bold
00:59.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/m4/epsilon.m4: so far, only freebsd seems to use doubles for floats .. so revert the leniancy and report when implementations deviate from what should be expected from IEEE compliance.
01:22.41 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/blt/src/bltInit.c: Tcl_GetAssocData returns a Clientdata, so have to cast to long to avoid mipspro type check failure
01:30.32 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/doc/README.IRIX: no longer need to disable blt, build problem fixed (simple cast)
01:34.23 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/TODO: sgi knobs and example geometry are pushed back as (sigh) clone still isn't done and EF plugin and archer are going to require considerably more attention. prepare for 7.8.2 release, nothing left to do.
01:38.26 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/libpkg/pkg.c: quell unused variable warning
01:47.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/bot_shell-vtk.c: quell unused variable warning (norm variable)
02:00.06 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/bot_shell-vtk.c: missed a norm
02:00.21 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/g-adrt.c: quell unused variable warnings
02:01.34 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/rt/viewweight.c: quell unused var warning
02:05.07 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/rt/viewxray.c: quell unsigned type warning
02:08.19 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/libdm/dm_obj.c: USE_FBSERV is now defined by configure, quell set but unused warning on id var.
02:08.20 brlcad well then..
02:08.26 brlcad looks like arl just lost power
02:08.47 brlcad and comcast..
02:24.01 Twingy wee
02:24.05 Twingy no
02:24.10 Twingy it's part of the new security protocol
02:24.31 Twingy if you turn the power off, you don't get hackers
02:24.38 Twingy it's brilliant!
02:28.24 brlcad hrm.. seems i only lost connectivity to some servers.. ones that should have survived a browning
02:29.22 brlcad ahh, servers are fine, some router is dead
02:29.39 brlcad i can hop over with the right combination
02:31.11 brlcad and that router seems to be back now
02:32.18 Twingy I suspect I'll be painting, sanding, and spackling all day tomorrow
03:16.18 Twingy messy
03:25.27 Twingy If you have a time machine for sale, I would like to buy it. Send an e-mail.
03:25.27 Twingy Please, serious inquiries only

18:37.02 *** topic/#brlcad is http://brlcad.org/ || BRL-CAD is now Free Software! || Release 7.8.0 is Posted!
20:55.24 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/conv/g-adrt.c: quell more unused variable warnings
20:56.40 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/burst/burst.c: only define sigcld if signal.h doesn't define it
21:00.17 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/gtools/g_transfer.c: remove unused variables
21:01.22 Twingy nothing like working on muves on a saturday
21:02.41 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/points/process.c: remove unused variables, quell warnings
21:04.44 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/utility2.c: removed unused variable i
21:06.12 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/nirt/if.c: quell incompatible parammeter type warning
21:07.19 Twingy hrmph
21:07.40 Twingy this is rather significant speed up
21:08.07 Twingy 4.15x speed up, I guaranteed 2x
21:08.22 Twingy haven't optimized anything yet either
21:10.14 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/util/bwscale.c: quell type warnings on bu_free
21:10.17 Twingy 43% memory savings too
21:14.50 ``Erik 4.15 with or w/o ir ?
21:16.29 Twingy w/o
21:16.45 Twingy and half the code
21:17.00 Twingy 4.15x speed up, 43% memory savings, half the code
21:17.12 Twingy and I'm not even trying :)
21:17.36 Twingy I've met my requirements though, so I should be done this week
21:18.13 Twingy erik, you should base your M3 benchmarks off the ahem newest version of s2
21:22.26 ``Erik heh, indeed
21:22.37 ``Erik although that task has been transfered to the new tl
21:22.46 Twingy ah
21:23.10 ``Erik apparently, if someone gives them bad news, they move to find someone else for a 'second opinion'... until they hear what they want to hear.
21:23.18 ``Erik which is a good chunk of what drove mike to ssvt
21:23.20 ``Erik :)
21:23.25 Twingy haha, so dilbertesque
21:23.47 Twingy atleast we don't get locked in a hole and shot
21:24.11 ``Erik yet
21:24.53 Twingy hrm
21:25.12 Twingy if there were a way to know how many triangles were in the .g file that would save a good chunk of prep time
21:25.41 Twingy save on alot of realloc's
21:26.09 Twingy instead I'll set tie_init to something like 256k triangles by default, cater to small models and super fast prep
21:29.00 ``Erik if you realloc 2*prev each step, would that cut the # of reallocs down enough to be usable?
21:29.26 ``Erik or if you loaded into dynamic store, like a linked list of 'pages', then counted pages to generate the 'final' area?
21:29.55 Twingy 2* is good for small values
21:30.07 Twingy I have had several versions in there
21:30.13 Twingy you're not teaching me anything new
21:30.28 ``Erik heh, 2* is good for big values, too... physical pages aren't wired until they're written to
21:30.31 Twingy I think I will go back to 8MB hunks
21:30.36 Twingy no...
21:30.48 Twingy if you're at 1GB and your algorithm goes, whomp 2GB
21:30.53 Twingy and the model is 1.1GB
21:31.12 Twingy you just ran out of memory
21:31.12 ``Erik um, ...
21:31.37 Twingy so now you gotta add code to set an upper bound based on your memory limit
21:31.54 Twingy 8MB chunks, and that's that
21:33.20 ``Erik no oom
21:33.21 ``Erik sorry
21:33.30 ``Erik memory isn't wired until it's written to
21:34.44 Twingy for windows, for linux, for bsd, for irix, for... ?
21:34.51 ``Erik fbsd
21:34.58 ``Erik it SHOULD be the same on linux, and probably irix
21:35.01 ``Erik I d'no about windows, heh
21:35.44 ``Erik it's a byproduct of the mmu and COW, any system with virtualized memory SHOULD behave in a similar fashion... :/
21:35.53 ``Erik (which means old dos would break violently)
21:36.08 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/util/ (pl-X.c pl-sgi.c): quell lots of warnings.
21:38.09 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/points/process.c: ws
21:42.58 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/points/process.c: remove the usage if you're going to remove the decl
21:58.23 Twingy getting close to dinner time, and another round of sanding in the garage
22:07.50 brlcad time to go drinking
22:08.19 ``Erik <-- sips his beer
22:10.00 Twingy I have soda and iced-tea
22:10.03 ``Erik my kitchen is a lot nicer when clean
22:10.09 Twingy the possibilities are endless!
22:11.09 Twingy let's see, 2 hours of sanding and painting, 1 hour of basement bathroom work, followed by an hour of kitchen floor work
22:11.22 Twingy what a fun night
22:11.49 Twingy back at 10pm
22:54.49 *** join/#brlcad brick_ (n=brick@dsl-146-236-32.telkomadsl.co.za)
22:55.23 brick_ hi
22:56.05 brick_ Does BRL include tetrahedral meshing capabilities, or is some external app needed?
