09:23.19 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r31016 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: (log message trimmed)
09:23.19 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: reword the nirt backout line just so that we can make the commit log more
09:23.19 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: substantial. commit messages for NEWS lines need to be detailed as they're used
09:23.19 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: during configuration reviews. To quote Cliff's original log message for this
09:23.19 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: feature: Change behavior of backout command in interactive nirt - backout flag
09:23.20 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: can now be activated and deactivated, and repeated invocations of backout will
09:23.22 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: not increase the backout distance with each invocation. Also, change of origin
10:31.44 *** join/#brlcad mafm (n=mafm@elnet-111.lip.pt)
10:33.19 mafm hi
10:49.32 brlcad howdy mafm
10:49.43 brlcad good morning
11:04.43 mafm doing fine
11:12.26 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r31017 10/brlcad/trunk/src/util/brlcad.1: rfbd was renamed to fbserv about a decade ago
11:14.15 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r31018 10/brlcad/trunk/src/ (fbserv/fbserv.c libfb/if_remote.c): patch from pedro that reportedly helps the build on openbsd. basically need to include sys/types.h before other sys headers like sys/socket.h.
11:22.47 starseeker_ erm. sorry brlcad
11:23.04 starseeker_ was trying to keep it short and sweet in the NEWS file...
11:23.21 brlcad np, NEWS needs the opposite
11:25.31 Axman6 so... anyone here good with C?
11:25.36 starseeker_ Ah, gotcha - you're using the commit logs that alter the NEWS file, not going back and grabbing the actual logs from commits in support of change
11:25.38 Axman6 heh
11:26.03 starseeker_ turns the crank on his brain to get it started, Model T Ford style...
11:27.54 brlcad there's no direct associativity with news line items and sets of commits that correspond, so it needs to be in the commit message itself (or part of the original change/commit where the message should also be detailed)
11:28.41 brlcad the changelog is generated, but that's simply way too much information and doesn't condense to a summary of user-visible changes
12:01.01 clock_ brlcad: I see now a lot of my bugreports have been processed I appreciate that
12:19.56 *** join/#brlcad thing0 (n=ric@58.171.95.0)
12:29.03 Axman6 brlcad: are you free at all? i was wondering if you could help me figure something out
12:32.20 Axman6 just wondering what the point of some of the stuff in http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/ve/downloads/vMathLib.tgz is
12:35.50 Axman6 if anyone's interested (it's just a single, simple C file), i'm wondering what the point of uint32_t u[4]; is in the vectF_t. commenting it out didn't have any effect to the results :\
12:37.43 mafm Axman6: u array is not used at all
12:38.04 Axman6 i know. so i was wondering what the point of it might be
12:38.46 mafm that doesn't have much to do with knowing C, but with the domain of the problem :)
12:39.59 mafm probably he just forgot to remove it, or didn't write a test for that part as he initially intended, or something like that
12:40.54 mafm the .h is a template and not even included anywhere
12:41.12 mafm so I guess that the author didn't care much about polishing the program :)
12:42.01 Axman6 yeah well, it's meant to be an example of how to use some of their frameworks, and demonstrate how much faster they are
12:43.24 mafm :)
12:46.09 Axman6 and their vForce stuff is pretty impressive. simple interface to complex stuff, that works as fast as it can on 4 different architectures, and takes advantage of any vector hardware too.
12:51.04 mafm it's an algebra library or something like that?
12:58.20 Axman6 vector computations, that's about all i know.
12:59.12 *** join/#brlcad docelic (n=docelic@78.134.203.41)
13:00.34 Axman6 its functions take pointers to arrays of vectors (one or two inputs, and an output), and just dose it's thing on the inputs, putting the results in the output array
13:08.47 mafm I see
13:08.47 Axman6 anyway, bedtime for me. have fun guys
13:08.56 mafm night :)
