13:37.25 *** topic/#brlcad is BRL-CAD Open Source Solid Modeling || http://brlcad.org || logs: http://ibot.rikers.org/%23brlcad/ || Congratulations to our 11 accepted GSoC students!!
13:37.25 brlcad you don't need to support both, hopefully obviously

15:27.42 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51425 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Start chopping the big function into little functions
15:44.45 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51426 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: more function breakup

17:45.05 crdueck brlcad: could you please take a look at the email i sent to the mailing list?
18:07.41 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03n_reed * r51427 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/step/src/express/ (error.c expr.c resolve.c schema.c): remove unportable/unnecessary calls to unistd.h pause used after certain errors to allow attaching debugger
18:48.04 *** join/#brlcad ksuzee (~ksu@46.149.82.166)
18:59.04 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03crdueck * r51428 10/brlcad/trunk/src/ (3 files in 3 dirs): removed pointless functions, default case in analyze_do() already covers primitives without analyze commands. added TODO for remaining primitives
19:05.29 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03crdueck * r51429 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/ (bot/bot.c tgc/tgc.c): r51428 accidently included changes to bot.c and tgc.c, those changes were: refactored a section of rt_bot_tess into a new rt_bot_centroid function, and added a missing break statement in rt_tgc_surf_area
19:10.49 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03crdueck * r51430 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/table.c: updated entry for bot in table.c to include the new rt_bot_centroid function
19:33.19 ksuzee hello! I'd like to ask about using UNUSED(..) near variables. What are such unused variables used for?
19:42.49 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51431 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Make a stab at turning back on the loop checking.
19:49.06 ``Erik ksuzee: usually placekeepers to satisfy type info when dealing with function pointers
19:51.59 ``Erik brlcad: is cpu time really what we want to measure with the libpkg stuff? O.o and would 0's get any kind of rle treatment? I'd think dd slices out of a noisy file like the kernel or brlcad-7.22.0.tar.bz2 would be a better data source
19:58.31 ksuzee ``Erik: thanks for the answer. So if I want a function with such placekeeper to call another function, I don't need to transmit there this UNUSED variable?
19:59.39 *** join/#brlcad andrei_ (andrei@188.25.172.146)
20:12.58 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51432 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Need better plotting - start setting up routines.
20:17.17 ``Erik ksuzee: are you asking if you can call void bah(UNUSED(meh)); with bah(); ?
20:23.20 ksuzee ``Erik: I mean if I have void bah(UNUSED(meh)) {'body of this function'}. Then I create bah1() {'put here the same body'} and do bah(UNUSED(meh)) {bah1()}. Can I do like this? Maybe it seems a bit useless but I need it for refactoring
20:40.16 ``Erik um, yes, almost... you need to pass some junk variable to bah(), so something like "void bah1() { bah(NULL); }"
20:40.38 ``Erik wait, I'm reading that backwards
20:40.59 ``Erik yes, you can, if I read it correctly :)
20:55.18 ksuzee ``Erik: oh, thank you a lot! :)

21:10.20 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51433 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Cleanup, fix loop logic
21:30.19 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r51434 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: get better at plotting loops
21:57.48 *** join/#brlcad stas_ (~stas@188.24.47.249)
22:35.05 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03n_reed * r51435 10/brlcad/trunk/src/ (9 files in 6 dirs): Add/remove files to match github data directory. Will use their copy of the edited ap203.exp to generate step-g sources.
22:51.53 brlcad ``Erik: he's not measuring cpu time
22:52.53 brlcad and I'd agree that we don't want to ... wallclock is fine, just unstable and he needed to account for it
23:51.00 CIA-50 BRL-CAD: 03Cprecup 07http://brlcad.org * r4056 10/wiki/User:Cprecup/GSoC2012_progress: 05/07/2012 - implementation for adding into a bu_hash_tbl the name of an object depending on its type
