07:49.04 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/TODO: itemize the critical items remaining for this release .. bu_bombing, rt parallel crash bug, incrtcl search woes, and testing parallel crash reporting.
07:51.15 Defcon woes = troubles ???
08:15.02 *** join/#brlcad Z80-Boy (n=clock@zux221-122-143.adsl.green.ch)
11:09.12 louipc Defcon: correct
11:12.15 Defcon ok
11:46.24 Z80-Boy brlcad: I found out how to easily generate a city full of skyscrapers for 3D model background
11:46.32 Z80-Boy just use the function n^(n+13) ;-)
11:46.44 Z80-Boy or change 13 to a different constant it will generate a different style skyscrapers
11:47.25 Z80-Boy ^ means XOR
11:53.54 Defcon and n = ??
11:57.18 Z80-Boy integer
12:03.21 Defcon yeah :)
12:03.44 Defcon i know you cant add 13 to a string
13:00.49 Defcon Camdoggle: let me be apart of the development team
13:00.49 Defcon Ben174: key word being 'apart'
13:00.51 Defcon :)

13:51.19 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/other/ (tcl/Makefile.am tk/Makefile.am): if we're building against system tcl/tk, then there's no unix dir to traverse into if we're doing an out-of-src build. this fixes distcheck on said platform situations too

15:22.15 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/conv/ (7 files in 2 dirs): change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling
15:29.33 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/util/png_info.c: change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling. Include stdlib for EXIT_FAILURE.

15:32.45 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/conv/iges/iges.c: char*label isn't munged, so make it const
15:33.41 ``Erik heh
15:34.12 Defcon lol
15:35.15 prasad1 shatner one wasn't as funny
15:45.57 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/conv/g-euclid1.c: change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling

15:53.40 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/mged/ (animedit.c clone.c cmd.c edsol.c solids_on_ray.c): change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling
15:57.23 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/ (5 files in 2 dirs): change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling
16:03.05 brlcad :)
16:03.44 brlcad so you got that you leave the bu_bomb's where the sky is falling and/or they're situations where you might actually want a stack trace at that point
16:04.20 brlcad pretty much none/most of the "non-library" code
16:04.51 brlcad I cleared out about 1000 instances already, there are about 500 left iirc
16:04.54 ``Erik yeah
16:05.02 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/rttherm/spectrum.c: stdlib.h needed for EXIT_FAILURE
16:05.21 ``Erik I'm doing a grep to look for lame messages like "this argument is bad" and sed'ing those
16:05.28 ``Erik um
16:05.41 ``Erik bomb() indicates some kinda failure? :D
16:07.07 ``Erik bu_bomb(""); is annoying cuz I can't just say whether or not it's legit from a grep :/
16:07.41 ``Erik g_qa and hurt are ugly that way
16:08.06 ``Erik once I get the bu_bombs out of the way, I'll go back and fix those up so they use bu-exit's varargs
16:10.00 brlcad yeah, that was part of the "split" for bu_exit ..
16:10.02 brlcad bu_bomb was/is being used in two distinct ways
16:10.36 brlcad this breaks out that "other" way that sprung up over the years and returned it to its original purpose (halting on critical failures)
16:10.48 ``Erik the bu_log();bu_bomb(); is what I'm on to next... :)
16:10.51 ``Erik are you in the office?
16:10.55 brlcad yeah
16:11.03 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/ (6 files in 3 dirs): change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling

16:19.28 poolio ``Erik: The sky is falling when I call bu_bomb().
16:19.38 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/rt/ (15 files): change bu_bomb to bu_exit when the sky isn't really falling
16:20.02 ``Erik um
16:20.07 ``Erik nut uh
16:20.19 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/rt/rt.1: note bu_exit() in addition to bu_bomb()
16:20.41 ``Erik malloc() and fprintf() still work when you call it, so bu_exit() is better
16:25.18 brlcad and it has varargs so those lil bu_bomb buffers being sprintfed into before bu_bomb can go away

20:49.47 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/ (188 files in 27 dirs): pass bu_exit a NULL instead of an empty string
20:50.18 brlcad o.O
20:50.43 ``Erik hrm?
20:51.31 brlcad just fearful of seddage wrt bomb/exit stuff
20:51.40 ``Erik heh
20:51.46 ``Erik I've spent the last few hours in cvs diff's.
20:52.35 ``Erik sed anything programming is skeery, I've been reasonably careful :)
20:53.11 yukonbob louipc: sun low (but up) just before I posted -- officially listed as 9:18, down 4:14 -- seems to be losing ~2.5minutes on rise and 2minutes on set per day -- so ~4.5minutes light/day -- though where I'm at, there's mountains that block the sun before it's officially "set".
20:54.12 yukonbob sed/verify w/ ediff in emacs... (or equiv in vim?)
20:54.34 ``Erik wait, uh... you saw the sunrise? you actually stepped away from the 'puter and out of your igloo?
20:55.10 yukonbob heh - I've got a south facing window that lets me see the sun skim the horizon from e->w.
20:57.51 yukonbob if /me gets his auto fixed by ~soltice, maybe take a trip toward arctic circle to get 24h darkess...
20:58.30 yukonbob ^-- this just occured to me -- lots of people go to the arctic circle for summer solstice, but I doubt many for winter...
20:58.48 louipc ah that's not bad I was thinking it rises at 1200 and sets at 1300
20:58.51 louipc hhah
20:59.54 dtidrow 24hr aurora watching :-)
21:00.14 yukonbob louipc: no -- it gets as bad as ~10am->3:30pm in Whitehorse
21:00.41 yukonbob dtidrow: could be -- last winter hardly saw any lights, though.
21:01.47 yukonbob have seen whole sky lit up -- better than a Pink Floyd laser show ;) -- esp. fun if you're leaving a bar after a good night...
21:02.02 dtidrow heh
21:02.32 dtidrow bet you had some real fireworks a few years ago
21:02.47 yukonbob ?why
21:03.01 dtidrow '02 or so, IIRC, there were some monster solar flares
21:03.08 yukonbob ah --
21:03.54 dtidrow we're about at the sunspot minimum now, so the sun's pretty quiet
21:04.11 yukonbob that could explain last year's suckiness
21:05.39 dtidrow http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/
21:06.10 dtidrow http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/sunspots/ - back around '02 there were lots of spots visible
21:07.49 ``Erik hum... staring at the sun to see spots... O.o
21:07.49 ``Erik :D
21:08.32 yukonbob there's a little black spot on the sun today...
21:08.55 dtidrow lol
21:11.26 louipc smaller than the earth little?
21:13.01 yukonbob louipc: dunno, but it's the same old thing as yesterday
21:13.43 dtidrow http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/gallery/images/large/spotcollage.jpg - this was the spot that fired off a huge flare
21:22.22 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/rt/rtshot.c: quell type warning on 64b build
21:46.56 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/mged/fbserv.c: pad with 0's to keep the compiler from complaining about casting 32b int->ptr on 64b systems (and just hope we don't cross 4g)
21:49.13 ``Erik hum, tcl/tk 8.5b3 is out
21:52.03 ``Erik mainly related to interfacing tcl
21:52.56 yukonbob ?really
21:53.06 ``Erik yeah
21:53.20 ``Erik int a; TclSomething((void *)a);
21:53.22 ``Erik that kinda thang
21:53.58 ``Erik I'm marking them with (void *)(size_t)a right now :/
21:54.26 ``Erik but that int should be size_t to start with, I'd imagine... 'cept they're ALSO used as ints, sometimes...
21:54.26 yukonbob hrmm... /me guesses pretty much all langs would be the same...
21:55.48 ``Erik nah, most dont' have explicit points and ill fitting types
21:56.07 ``Erik ok, like "shiney toy guns", I'm gonna go ride the race cars :D bbl
