03:34.48 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59490 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: move generation of trimmed faces to a separate function, which propagates errors via exceptions so return can be reserved for result
06:33.39 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 59491 brlcad/trunk/regress/repository.sh: add a test for platform identifiers being used in logic in an effort to curtail adding any more than we already have. with feature-based testing, it should be possibly to get the number of instances down into single-digits (currently at 79). it's a little more work in the short term, but the more robust solution over time. moreover, the assumption is
06:33.41 Notify often wrong when compiling with something other than msvc and on newer releases where they've implemented standard library functionality that was previously missing.
06:57.10 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 59492 brlcad/trunk/regress/repository.sh: parameterize the current platform symbol count so we can print a louder message when the script needs to be updated. relevant when someone fixes one of them.

17:32.06 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59493 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: name variables more consistently
17:36.33 *** join/#brlcad deepak (~chatzilla@117.214.207.81)
17:51.11 deepak I saw one GCI task named "create a VOL wiki page". I followed links suggested in that page but i'm bit confused. For wiki page do I need to shorten down everything whatever written in BRL-CAD tutorial Series volume-2? or Do I need to give overview for single primitive shape say "sphere"?
17:56.07 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59494 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: ws/style
18:10.54 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 59495 brlcad/trunk/regress/CMakeLists.txt: Start working on a way to regression test STEP files that aren't in our repo.
18:11.44 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59496 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: name local non-member functions consistently and ensure they are marked HIDDEN

18:25.06 Notify 03BRL-CAD Wiki:Sean * 6402 /wiki/Developer_Documents: stub in online geometry project
18:25.51 brlcad deepak: neither
18:26.19 brlcad deepak: it's an overview of a specific single primitive, one we call "VOL"
18:26.53 brlcad look at the wiki page for the EBM, try to create an EBM using that tutorial
18:27.02 brlcad then use that knowledge to figure out how to create a VOL
18:27.11 brlcad then write a wiki page explaining that
18:28.09 deepak I saw that EBM page, in first step image is build using GIMP
18:29.25 deepak should I use same method like something "VOL" related stuff I make in GIMP, then transfer it to mged?
18:44.11 Notify 03BRL-CAD:carlmoore * 59497 brlcad/trunk/src/sig/interp.c: touch up interp.c comments
18:55.08 deepak Brlcad: I didn't get your line "specific single primitive, one we call VOL" can you please explain more.
18:56.49 brlcad deepak: basically something like that
18:57.08 brlcad there are only a few differences between EBM and VOL, they are important differences, but they are few
18:57.17 brlcad EBM are 1-layer, VOL are n-layer
18:58.14 brlcad deepak: see http://brlcad.org/tmp/primitives/Primitives2_grouped_with_labels.png
18:58.33 brlcad brl-cad has a lot of individual "primitive shapes" that are used to describe geometry
18:58.41 brlcad they are all different
19:00.03 deepak Brlcad: Okay now I get you. :)
19:04.27 deepak Brlcad: I discussed with you on the topic online geometry viewer, still there are lots of questions floating in my mind I want to get answer from you. Questions like how to make it better, what kind of stuff we need to add to make our editor good and so on. Can you help me out?
20:35.30 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59498 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: is_point_inside_loop is not a predicate function. Rename it and have it return constant names to make it's purpose more clear.
20:41.07 n_reed s/it's/its; ugh i hate when i do that
21:09.36 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59499 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: add true predicate version of is_point_inside_loop to replace multi-part conditional expressions
22:03.40 brlcad n_reed: I hate it when you do that too
22:03.46 brlcad I hate it when I do that
22:04.06 brlcad you can fix your comment if it really really bothers you ;)
22:04.24 brlcad svn comments are editable (they're properties iirc)
22:12.59 n_reed thought I needed admin privileges, but looks like I was able to correct it
22:16.18 n_reed I don't mind it being wrong so much as I mind it getting published here and to the mailing list and folks thinking my grammar is no better than that of a texting tween's

23:27.36 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 59500 brlcad/trunk/src/libbrep/boolean.cpp: Error return from point_loop_location and is_point_on_loop were being ignored. Throw an exception instead so we're forced to deal with it. Also means is_point_on_loop can return bool instead of int.
