06:03.14 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 53668 brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/parallel.c: call pthread_attr_destroy() when we're done with threads to ensure memory is released.
06:03.53 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 53669 brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/CompilerFlags.cmake: this needs more investigating still, but 10.6 is not liking -gstabs+ at all. -ggdb seems to work just fine, though.
06:06.17 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 53670 brlcad/trunk/src/liboptical/sh_prj.c: fixed one bug in the structparse table where it was reading a fastf_t as a char for the i_perspective field. add some sanity checks to make sure we don't dereference into bad memory via the img_sp->i_img[] array.

16:13.44 brlcad waves to Skriptkid
16:14.29 Skriptkid Hello :)
16:20.52 Skriptkid I wanted to if the GCI 2012 tasks a contestant completes now will be credited to him/her later when the event officially begins on November 26.
16:24.29 brlcad Skriptkid: so yes and no
16:24.45 brlcad you can work on as many as you like before the contest begins (how would I know if you did)
16:25.03 brlcad you just can't claim the tasks and submit your work until it begins
16:26.04 Skriptkid Oh. So we can complete it and submit it later when the contest is open. Thanks a lot :)
16:26.16 brlcad there's a slim chance that someone else might claim a task you finished, there's a chance that the tasks might have their goals changed slightly before the program begins, etc
16:26.40 Skriptkid Will keep that in mind
16:26.47 brlcad unlikely unless a lot of folks do the same tasks, so it's your call ;)
16:27.08 brlcad you're definitely encouraged to download BRL-CAD, compile, and run it to get familiar before the 26th
16:27.13 Skriptkid Got it. Thank you again for your time :)
16:27.23 brlcad so the tasks really only take you 2 hours or less
16:27.25 Skriptkid Yeah. Downloading the VM
16:27.51 brlcad so one of the first things you'll want to do with the vm image is update the source checkout that it contains
16:28.07 brlcad we're working on uploading an updated vm within the next two weeks
16:29.02 Skriptkid Okay. I'll download the current one to familiarize myself with BRL-CAD and download the upadate when it's released.
16:29.04 brlcad but that just saves you a few minutes download time ;)
16:29.13 brlcad sure
16:29.23 brlcad feel free to hang out on irc too if you want to stay in the loop
16:29.37 brlcad most things are announced or discussed here before anywhere else
16:29.47 brlcad sometimes the mailing list too
16:29.54 Skriptkid Will do. Could you tell me which language(s) would be most helpful?
16:30.04 brlcad what do you mean?
16:30.44 Skriptkid Which programming languages
16:30.47 Skriptkid for the coding tasks
16:31.36 brlcad it varies task to task
16:31.51 Skriptkid Oh. Okay.
16:32.12 brlcad of the coding tasks (note many are not coding) ...
16:32.26 brlcad most *require* some basic familiarity with C
16:32.30 brlcad but not all
16:32.40 brlcad e.g., the tasks that involve moving comments from source to header files
16:32.55 brlcad those are technically C, but anyone familiar with a basic text editor can do those
16:33.27 Skriptkid Is Python useful anywhere at all?
16:34.00 brlcad we're working on adding tasks in other languages
16:34.25 brlcad note that we still have 12 days to add more and more tasks :)
16:34.32 brlcad we will be adding lots more still
16:35.05 brlcad i know of at least a few php tasks, some can certainly involve python or perl in their solution
16:35.27 brlcad when you're updating existing code or bugs, you'll obviously be working with whatever language is there already
16:38.40 Skriptkid ok
