07:17.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30239 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: bob indicates he fixed query_ray
07:31.25 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30240 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/db_open.c: (log message trimmed)
07:31.25 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: fix a bug introduced with the changeover of db_open to only using standard i/o
07:31.25 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: for all platforms instead of unix i/o with an uninitialized dbi_fd. the problem
07:31.25 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: was related to the failure case where null is returned, which mged intentionally
07:31.25 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: uses to determine if a file exists, where since with unix i/o a fp and an fd are
07:31.28 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: independently opened (instead of deriving one from the other) so the cleanup
07:31.30 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: code was closing the other. the close code was only checking for non-negative
07:33.10 brlcad sahweet .. dbi_fd is already documented as private and warns of change ..
07:48.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30241 10/brlcad/trunk/ (4 files in 2 dirs):
07:48.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: awesome, dbi_fd is already in a struct sections marked as private (for librt
07:48.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: only) and subject to change .. so change^Wremove it. there are surprisingly few
07:48.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: uses even in librt, so it seems really safe to remove the fd and avoid repeating
07:48.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: the same bug of corrupting file pointer streams by closing their associated
07:48.12 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: descriptor. go ahead and remove it, callers can always call fileno(dbi_fp) if
07:48.14 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: they really need to do unix i/o.
07:51.11 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30242 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO:
07:51.11 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: reprioritize to the items that are really the most critical for release, and the
07:51.11 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: ones that are not.. live with the rt crash and incrtcl configuration issue for
07:51.11 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: another release, but really need to fix the mged issues before doing a rollout.
08:08.13 *** join/#brlcad Z80-Boy (n=clock@zux221-122-143.adsl.green.ch)
08:12.38 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30243 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/vls.c:
08:12.38 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: rewrite bu_vls_gets() to use bu_fgets() instead of manually doing a getc()
08:12.38 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: iteration loop by itself. this lets the routine get the cross-platform benefits
08:12.38 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: of bu_fgets() for handling Windows files stream carriage returns aside from just
08:12.39 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: simplifying the implementation.
08:16.48 Z80-Boy I wonder when some people say "honestly,..."
08:16.58 Z80-Boy If it means that by default they talk dishonestly?
08:29.38 alex_joni maybe neutral
08:30.02 alex_joni which isn't quite honestly, nor dishonestly (just not telling all the truth :)
08:30.56 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30244 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/units.c: ws
08:33.40 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30245 10/brlcad/trunk/ (include/bu.h src/libbu/vls.c): quell all compilation warnings and convert bu_vls_strncat, bu_vls_strncpy, and bu_vls_strncmp to all use a size_t parameter instead of an int len.

19:28.19 ``Erik "XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more." heh
19:30.17 yukonbob reminds me of the jwz quote about regexes. Something to effect of: "Some people, when confronted with a problem think: 'I know, I'll use a regular expression!' Now they've got two problems"
19:30.55 ``Erik heh
19:31.13 ``Erik jwz has said some good things and some stupid things *shrug* I think he's running a night club now O.o

19:36.24 ``Erik heh
19:36.50 ``Erik and sadly 'preg' doesn't use thompson style evaluation :(
19:40.57 brlcad posix regex is pretty standard
19:41.21 brlcad a few things you can't do with it as easily as you can with perl's but it's pretty damn expressive for most tasks
19:41.34 brlcad and you can run perl in posix-mode iirc
19:42.17 brlcad the libregex implementation in brl-cad is one of the bsd/posix impls, pretty reliable and fast
