17:35.47 Notify 03GCI: Andrei Popescu: Create a Torus Model and Diagram - iming Sharon, it's best if you log on IRC and ask questions whenever you encounter issues. As for the review part, there isn't a fixed time when mentors review student submissions and it's not only brlcad that can review your work. Also, I believe you can get an e-mail notification... http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8059206
17:50.43 Silvrous How do I make a test for a function writing to a file?
17:51.02 Silvrous I assume I can't read it as I would a string
17:51.45 andrei what do you mean?
17:52.12 andrei you want to unit test a function that writes something into a file?
17:52.27 Notify 03GCI: Sean: Investigate performance of setting thread affinity - read through what bu_parallel() does You'll need to read through and try to understand what bu_parallel() does, at least for the pthreads case. Pay particular attention to the pthread_create() function and what every parameter means (man pthread_create). http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7960222
17:52.38 Silvrous I need to unit test test the bu_vls_fwrite function, for instance
17:52.57 Silvrous yes
17:53.30 andrei well, you can see what happens if the file pointer is bad(there is no opened file) for example
17:53.45 andrei I assume you could write something into a file, then read what you wrote and compare results
17:57.22 Silvrous So I do FILE *f , for instance, call f in the function
17:58.14 Silvrous then how do I read from that?
17:58.24 Notify 03GCI: Sean: Integrate new thread affinity interface into LIBBU and LIBRT - you may need to take this one step at a time So know that you may be a little out of your depth taking this task on which is why I was going to do it instead of making it a task anyways, but you're welcome to try.

17:59.40 Notify 03BRL-CAD Wiki:Jacksixb * 4756 /wiki/User:Jacksixb/Independent_Study_2012-13_Log:
18:02.09 andrei one moment, I m looking for exact C syntax
18:02.15 andrei I think read and write are the functions
18:02.27 andrei http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/fread/
18:02.29 andrei here
18:11.45 andrei Silvrous: by the way, you should avoid using FILE* as much as possible as it isn't " very portable". However, if the function receives a FILE* parameter there is no simple workaround for that :)
18:13.12 Silvrous I'll keep that in mind in future.
18:15.46 Silvrous Could I get another extension on this? I've done about 350 lines of code so far, but I've still got about 10 functions left to test, and then debug the whole file.
18:16.09 andrei yes, I will extend the deadline now :)
18:16.18 andrei can you provide a link to task, please?
18:16.26 Silvrous http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7979226

19:20.20 brlcad Silvrous: if you need to write to a file, I suggest using bu_temp_file() when you can
19:25.36 Silvrous Ah, so it won't remain there after the tests are done. Sure.
19:28.12 brlcad be sure to still call fclose() when you're done
19:30.31 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54067 brlcad/trunk/include/bu.h: the fclose() isn't particularly optional on windows as the program will still have a file handle open
