00:03.02 starseeker caen23: I'm getting the validation failures on info too - it's not just a Windows issue
00:03.48 starseeker looks like if we put the author info inside the refentrytitle block, it'll validate
00:04.09 starseeker will commit a few - could you handle the rest?
00:05.18 starseeker sorry for delay - just now getting a serious look at it
00:05.30 starseeker (have a different Windows issue to debug...)
00:08.45 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 53992 (brlcad/trunk/doc/docbook/system/man1/en/anim_script.xml brlcad/trunk/doc/docbook/system/man1/en/anim_sort.xml and 5 others): Start shifting the author block to pass validation. More to do.
00:11.31 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 53993 brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt: Turn off strict again until the info thing is fixed in the man pages.

00:19.32 zero57 brlcad: are you there?
00:28.38 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 53994 brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt: Visual Studio 2012 seems to be pushed beyond its limits when validation targets are added - pushes the build target count over 1800. Disable validation if we are on MSVC.
00:29.06 starseeker whoops - that's Visual Studio 2010, not 2012
00:31.19 zero57 does anyone know why using find and sed breaks my svn?
00:31.37 zero57 I'm using find and sed together to find and replace multiple files with text recursively
00:31.48 zero57 and when using svn diff, it doesn't detect the changes
00:31.53 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 53995 brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt: More informative comment for DocBook validation issue on MSVC - note it's 2010, not 2012
00:32.29 zero57 find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/mytext/newtext/g' {} \;
00:32.50 zero57 that's the command I used to replace the text with

00:53.31 zero57 brlcad: hey brlcad
00:53.46 zero57 brlcad: I don't know why using find and sed doesn't work
00:55.09 zero57 brlcad: however, using just "diff" will work but it doesn't tell you what I changed like svn diff does
00:55.19 zero57 brlcad: is it possible to use diff instead of svn diff?
00:59.51 brlcad zero57: run find without sed and look at the files it finds
01:00.06 brlcad you're modifying book-keeping files, which corrupts your checkout
01:00.40 zero57 brlcad: ok and can you show me how to do this? I'm not very familiar with find as I just found the command online using google
01:03.01 brlcad i haven't read the backlog yet so don't know what you're trying to do
01:03.17 brlcad but the general way to work with it is to just tell it what to ignore
01:03.38 zero57 well I want to just find text inside a file
01:03.40 zero57 and replace that
01:03.50 brlcad find . -name \*.c -not -regex '.*svn.*' -not -regex '.*other.*' -not -regex '.*cmake.*'
01:03.54 zero57 oh and find it recursively
01:04.17 brlcad you'll have to be very careful with recursive replacements and review your patch *very* carefully
01:04.43 brlcad very easy to mess up even if you have done it 100 times, and I'm guessing you haven't ;)
01:05.33 zero57 nope i haven't ;p but I just need to find and replace text in every file that contains a spelling mistake
01:05.56 zero57 will that command ignore the ones I shouldn't edit?
01:06.08 starseeker brlcad: dunno - testing here seems to suggest that... I can try a few more things tomorrow, but darned if I can see how just adding the validation targets to the mix could cause VS to hang...
01:06.28 brlcad here's a dangerous example: find . -name \*.c -not -regex '.*svn.*' -not -regex '.*other.*' -not -regex '.*cmake.*' -exec perl -pi -e 's/mispeling/mispelling/g' {} \;
01:06.45 brlcad zero57: suggest you read the manpage to find and perl to understand what all that does ;)
01:07.17 brlcad starseeker: easy to prove that's not the case, add some dummy targets
01:08.30 starseeker brlcad: I may have an idea how we can use fewer build targets to handle the DocBook stuff anyway
01:09.18 starseeker stress testing VS is low on starseeker's list of things he wants to care about...
01:10.12 zero57 brlcad: How's that dangerous? and I just tried it, (obviously changing mispeling and misspelling), and it doesn't work
01:11.36 starseeker brlcad: we'd have to add dummy targets using the custom target mechanism rather than c/c++ compilation - not sure how to do that in vanilla VS either...
01:12.21 brlcad again, something to delegate to minions..
01:12.50 starseeker shrugs - if you think that's a worthwhile use of their time, sure
01:18.41 zero57 nevermind brlcad :) I fixed it
01:19.15 zero57 brlcad: You gave me a nice hint that needed to fix my problem
01:19.27 zero57 basically, all I had to use was the -prune argument
01:19.37 zero57 so I just ignored .svn and then it works :)
01:20.07 brlcad note that you should still review what all got changed
01:20.22 brlcad a variable named "animmate" for example might be entirely intentional
01:20.46 zero57 brlcad: Thanks, but can you very kindly extend my deadline? I don't have anymore time than this because I have a lot of homework and tests (semester almost ending) http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7999212
01:21.19 zero57 Of course :) Also I would have to count all the spelling mistakes and files I've changed

18:46.33 caen23 brlcad: regarding the "close mged" task, if i go to "Modes -> Display Managr" and choose X instead of OpenGL on the mac, the previous problem goes away. is there a particular reason for why X is not the default on the mac, or could i just switch that and call it a day?
19:40.45 starseeker caen23: opengl is preferable to X, when we can use opengl
19:41.40 starseeker as you're discovering, X opengl on the Mac is a tricky prospect. Unfortunately, we don't currently have a display manager for Apple's native opengl
19:42.53 starseeker Whether we can mix native apple OpenGL with an X11 mged or Archer is another question. Tcl/Tk does have an Aqua version, but it's got rough edges thus far
19:44.32 starseeker suspects mixing Aqua opengl with X would be... problematic
19:45.20 caen23 starseeker: but on os x at least, where we don't have a native opengl dm, wouldn't x work better? :-? also, thoughts on the docbook messages i left earlier? :D
19:45.42 starseeker caen23: docbook looks good - nice job!
19:46.02 caen23 have you had a chance to run it on windows? is it ok?
19:46.22 starseeker running the validation on X is triggering other issues for me here

20:16.11 starseeker caen23: not entirely sure - may just be generating too many targets
20:16.38 starseeker caen23: but the xmllint results I think were the same all around - I was able to reproduce the failures from the Windows build on Linux
20:17.12 starseeker I don't expect there to be be any failures on Windows, if Linux succeeds
20:18.04 caen23 how did you reproduce the failures? cmake flag?
20:42.55 brlcad caen23: if we make X the default, then some capabilities (like the ability to run archer) go away
20:44.05 brlcad it's possible to make archer work without opengl, but that's a bit involved
20:44.23 brlcad moving forward, we're going to require opengl e ventually, so it's not been a huge issue
20:44.37 caen23 brlcad: but isn't archer separate from mged?
20:44.43 brlcad yep
20:45.10 caen23 then perhaps enable x only for mged on os x?
20:45.20 brlcad the default manager is set when libfb and libdm are compiled
20:45.36 caen23 ah, didn't know that
20:45.53 brlcad those settings just propagate up through to the application automatically
20:46.20 brlcad we could add some priority, but the real problem is that there is some bug in our opengl code
20:46.38 brlcad or our management of opengl contexts, as is more likely the case
20:47.48 caen23 i tried something this morning, i thought maybe it crashed because of viewring. but i did some testing and that's not the case. but yeah, openw.tcl does look like it could be improved a lot
20:48.45 brlcad I wouldn't worry about it too much given archer is the eventual replacement -- but getting it working is needed
20:49.12 brlcad scheduled to push out archer for alpha testing as soon as a few significant bugs are fixed
20:49.20 brlcad needs to add the gci tasks
20:50.09 caen23 ok, then. any pointers as to where to look to modify the opengl code?
20:51.21 brlcad if I recall right, didn't you have the context deleted when the window was hidden?
20:51.36 brlcad try not deleting it ;)
20:52.16 brlcad note that my recollection is very fuzzy .. I've looked at many many patches over the past few days
20:52.40 starseeker caen23: -DBRLCAD_EXTRADOCS_VALIDATE=ON was/is how you enable the strict xmllint checking.
20:53.22 caen23 that was originally the code :D but what i did was, i simply hid the window, set a var to 0, and then called the destroyer, which checked if both the cmd and the graphics windows were closed. if both vars were 0, i would run the destroy code
20:53.51 caen23 starseeker: hmm… i thought i did that. looks like i should do a clean install some time soon
20:54.22 starseeker wanted to enable it by default, backed off while lots of docbook conversions were happening, want to re-enable it by default now. Re-thinking the DocBook build logic some (again... sigh) to try and cut down on the absurd number of build targets we're currently generating
20:55.15 starseeker caen23: at this point, I think you're good on DocBook (at least, until we get an active report that something's still wrong.)
20:55.27 caen23 starseeker: but if this error didn't occur in the past, what is causing it now?
20:55.47 starseeker which error?
20:56.46 caen23 starseeker: the one related to the many build targets
20:56.56 brlcad caen23: the windows error is some unknown failure that hangs MSVC, the cause isn't known
20:57.09 brlcad it's just provoked when that option is on
20:57.33 brlcad good task to figure out what the real underlying cause is, whatever it is
20:57.41 caen23 brlcad: ooh, ok. sorry, got it all wrong. i thought it failed on linux, too
20:58.12 starseeker nope :-)
20:59.00 starseeker caen23: working like a charm on Linux
20:59.12 brlcad like a boss
20:59.44 caen23 starseeker: good to hear :D
21:00.20 starseeker I'm not sure where a good starting point would be for OpenGL+X on Mac...
21:00.46 starseeker brlcad: are there any "good" example apps where someone is handling that correctly?
21:00.49 brlcad that should be catchable in a duebugger,can trace backwards from there
21:01.03 brlcad or run an opengl profiler on it to see the opengl state leading up to that error
21:01.30 starseeker ah - hadn't thought of the latter in a long time - does the Mac dev package have one?
21:02.00 brlcad there's a hundred ways to use opengl, our particular approach isn't likely going to compare to other approaches
21:02.15 brlcad just needs some eyeballs either knowledgable in debugging or in opengl to diagnose
21:02.34 brlcad mac does provide a very nice profiler
21:02.50 brlcad but it's not just something you fire up, the tool would have to be learned to be effective
21:02.58 starseeker nods
21:03.31 caen23 brlcad: i tried gdb like you said yesterday, and that's how i got found what the error was. but i couldn't get a stack trace, it said "no stack" when i ran bt. i'm gonna give the opengl profiler a try
21:04.54 brlcad caen23: you have to set breakpoints before the error happens and walk forward
21:05.32 brlcad like set one on your destructor function, see if/when it gets called
21:05.54 brlcad set breakpoints on the libdm functions that actually created/manage the opengl contxt
21:06.06 brlcad set a breakpoint on _exit
21:06.26 brlcad somwehere in there, you'll be able to stop the program and find the call that causes that abort
21:06.49 brlcad given it's a glx error, a breakpoint on exit and/or _exit should actually work
21:06.53 brlcad that's a graceful termination
21:06.59 caen23 i don't think openw.tcl is broken. i will try what you suggested, thanks
