02:07.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r41463 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbn/plane.c: (log message trimmed)
02:07.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: Made changes to functions bn_isect_line3_line3 and bn_coplanar. Updated most of
02:07.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: the tolerances in these functions using values determined by capturing values
02:07.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: during test runs and determining where the values converge to 0, 1, -1 etc.
02:07.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: These tolerances are not perfect and I believe these values should be computed
02:07.45 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: since they can vary. These tolerance changes appear to improve the results of
02:07.46 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: the mged 'ev' command and 'facetize' command and fewer error messages are

04:30.12 brlcad hmm... that doesn't look good, r_weiss
04:30.31 brlcad random magic numbers mean it was probably just tuned to specific models
05:30.24 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41464 10/brlcad/trunk/sh/conversion.sh:
05:30.25 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: more process trickery so that we can abort the limit timer that kills facetize
05:30.25 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: and reports without the dreaded killed process 'Terminated' messages. this is
05:30.25 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: achieved by not invoking a subshell, redirecting stderr through a pipe, and
05:30.25 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: killing the sleep children in the same parent shell. not pretty but gets the
05:30.25 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: job done. couldn't figure out how to get double-subshell (via shell functions)
05:30.25 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: to work so these have to be in inlined.
05:38.33 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41465 10/brlcad/trunk/sh/conversion.sh:
05:38.33 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: no longer need the start and stop timers since our method required inlining the
05:38.33 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: timer and killing in the parent. forgot to mention that r41464 MAXTIME limit
05:38.33 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: was bumped back up to 5min since orphaned sleep processes no longer accumulate.
05:48.30 CIA-55 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r41466 10/brlcad/trunk/sh/conversion.sh: document the timer complexity a little bit explaining why things are as complicated as they are. pushing the limits of shell scripting.
