03:09.58 andromeda-galaxy maths22: I think it's actually a problem in bu_scan_fastf_t
03:10.40 maths22 What changed in it that made it not work?
03:10.47 andromeda-galaxy I'm trying to figure that out now
03:11.07 maths22 OK
03:11.15 andromeda-galaxy one of r63780, r63784, r63785 probably.. those are the only revisions after mine that change it
03:11.34 andromeda-galaxy this is definitely the problem for at least some of them, the input is being read incorrectly due to an error in it
03:11.56 andromeda-galaxy if I get it working again, do you mind if I submit it for one of the fix any failing unit test tasks?
03:11.59 andromeda-galaxy t
03:12.12 andromeda-galaxy sorry, missed control key
03:12.23 maths22 I don't mind
03:12.41 andromeda-galaxy great! is bsscanf() really not C89?
03:12.46 andromeda-galaxy *vsscanf()
03:14.40 maths22 http://www.manpagez.com/man/3/vscanf/ C99
03:14.54 maths22 never mind the link
03:15.03 maths22 But it definately is not C89
03:15.08 andromeda-galaxy oh well...
03:15.13 andromeda-galaxy my "man vsscanf()" gives the same manpage for sscanf
03:15.36 andromeda-galaxy which just says that fscanf(), scanf(), and sscanf() conform to all of C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001
03:15.49 andromeda-galaxy so I assumed vsscanf did too, especially since vfprintf() does exist... oh well
03:17.32 andromeda-galaxy I think that r63785 did it
03:17.49 andromeda-galaxy probably, let me finish checking
03:18.10 maths22 Check if it works when you revert
03:18.30 maths22 By the way, this is something continuous integration should help us catch
03:18.49 andromeda-galaxy indeed, that's why I've been looking forward to getting the buildbot builders working
03:19.19 andromeda-galaxy do you remember whether the return value of sscanf() includes any %n formats?
03:19.46 maths22 andromeda-galaxy: I currently have nightly builds at brlcad.org/CDash
03:19.55 maths22 I don't know about sscanf
03:20.16 andromeda-galaxy aha! Execution of a %n directive does not increment the assignment count returned at the completion of execution" but the Corrigendum seems to contradict this. Probably it is wise not to make any assumptions on the effect of %n conversions on the return value.
03:20.22 andromeda-galaxy maths22: cool!
03:20.27 Notify 03BRL-CAD:maths22 * 63841 brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/lib/gui_conversion.tcl: added check for if is set
03:21.22 maths22 ``Erik: are you doing something that breaks "libintl.so.8"
03:21.29 maths22 Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "sudo"
03:22.07 andromeda-galaxy maths22: the problem with bu_scan_fastf_t, at least, was that the code assumed that scanning a string like ",%n" would return 1 as the sscanf() value if successful (which it doesn't, necessarily)
03:22.18 andromeda-galaxy yup, reverting that patch fixes it
03:30.19 andromeda-galaxy maths22: should the code ideally be conforming to both C89 and Technical Corrigendum 1/2 on C89?
03:30.37 maths22 I'm not sure
03:31.14 maths22 What did rev 63785 try to fix?
03:33.01 maths22 brlcad: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "sudo"
03:33.15 andromeda-galaxy well, 63784 made the calls to scanf()/sscanf() to check for a delimiter be stored in unused
03:33.23 andromeda-galaxy *an unused variable
03:33.31 andromeda-galaxy and 63785 made it check if that variable was equal to 1
03:34.00 andromeda-galaxy but, that format spec is something like ", %n", etc. --- and according to the ISO standard (at least, the most recent draft that I can find) %n doesn't increment the count
03:34.31 andromeda-galaxy interestingly enough, the Linux man page says, as I mentioned aabove, that TC1 seems to contradict this
03:34.35 andromeda-galaxy but I don't see that anywhere in it;
03:34.39 andromeda-galaxy all that I see is:
03:34.54 andromeda-galaxy Add to subclause 7.9.6.2, line 4 (the n conversion specifier):
03:34.55 andromeda-galaxy No argument is converted, but one is consumed. If the conversion specification with this conversion specifier is not one of %n, %ln, or %hn, the behavior is undefined.
03:35.07 andromeda-galaxy which doesn't seem to change the part that says that no argument is consumed
03:38.08 ``Erik maths22: no, and the lib is there in /usr/local/lib ... but the system seems to be ignoring that dir entirely :/
03:39.57 andromeda-galaxy maths22, ``Erik: so, do you think that I should use the behavior specified in the standard, or trust that the man page found something in a Corrigendum that I didn't?
03:41.14 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik: by the way, do you periodically think of writing lisp-like macros to eliminate boilerplate and then realize you're in C?
03:42.54 ``Erik andromeda-galaxy: I've written C generators before, yes...
03:43.04 maths22 ``Erik: what do you think is wrong?
03:43.40 maths22 With bz
03:44.37 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik: interesting... it must be more annoying than doing it in Lisp though...
03:45.03 andromeda-galaxy I specifically keep starting to write a C macro and then realizing that it needs to do some sophisticated processing of its arguments at compile-time...
03:45.05 ``Erik maths22: dunno, seems like something is jacked with the rtld..
03:56.19 andromeda-galaxy ``Erik, maths22: would either of you mind taking a quick look at the C Corrigendums and seeing if there's anything I've missed with regard to sscanf & %n (since the man page seems to think that the Corrigendum contradicts this)?
03:58.20 Stragus GCC extends macro capabilities to check types of variables and stuff like that
03:58.33 Stragus But it's not standard, so out of the question for BRL-CAD
04:06.35 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: indeed...
04:06.58 andromeda-galaxy what do you think about the %n behavior? do you know of any platforms on which BRL-CAD compiles on which it might increment the returned assignment count?
04:09.51 Stragus Darn, I wasn't aware of that annoying glitch about %n
04:10.00 Stragus Can't you just read in dummy variables instead of skipping?
04:10.26 andromeda-galaxy ?
04:10.56 andromeda-galaxy this issue is about the retval of (s)scanf..... the man page says that %n may or may not increment it
04:11.10 andromeda-galaxy (spec says it shouldn't, Corrigendum says it should)
04:11.18 andromeda-galaxy but I don't see anything in the Corrigendum that says
04:11.18 Stragus Ah nevermind, %n stores the offset, I was thinking %*n
04:11.19 andromeda-galaxy that
04:11.22 andromeda-galaxy right
04:11.48 andromeda-galaxy so I'm trying to figure out whether to factor in a maybe-it-does-maybe-it-doesn't or not
04:12.00 andromeda-galaxy i.e. it's possible that the man page misinterpreted the corrigendum
04:12.15 Stragus That note is probably there for a good reason
04:13.19 Stragus One could run a dummy scanf() with %n and check the return value and keep that as reference...
04:13.22 andromeda-galaxy true
04:13.27 Stragus Or one could avoid %n entirely
04:13.38 andromeda-galaxy well, bu_scan_fastf_t kind of needs it to figure out how far to move in the string
04:13.51 Stragus Personally, I never use scanf(). It takes more lines but I prefer to parse stuff myself
04:14.30 andromeda-galaxy I've been looking at the Corrigendum, and the only thing it seems to say about %n doesn't seem to invalidate it... also, that note doesn't appear to be in any non-Linux sscanf() man pages
04:14.49 andromeda-galaxy (or the POSIX one)
04:17.21 Stragus There may have been various versions of these documents...
04:18.06 Stragus Google appears to says that note was referring to a very old revision
04:18.35 andromeda-galaxy ahh
04:18.35 Stragus I think it should be quite safe to assume %n does not increment the scan count
04:18.44 andromeda-galaxy great! thanks for helping me look into it
04:19.09 andromeda-galaxy I was looking at the versions from open-std.org, and didn't see what the note was referring to, which is why I asked here
04:19.33 Stragus I'm not entirely sure either but various people have asked the same question, for example: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.std.c/j5g9-orzPc8
04:21.39 andromeda-galaxy Stragus: ahh... well,it looks from that discussion like it's probably a mistake in the man page, thanks!
04:22.40 Stragus I find there are many issues with scanf() which made me avoid it for as long as I can remember
04:24.29 Stragus Basic stuff like... %d will happily read 4.341 or 7da2f but stop at the first non-numerical character, so you get 4 or 7
04:24.57 andromeda-galaxy right...
04:26.01 andromeda-galaxy in the case for the implementation of bu_scan_fastf_t() any hand-written implementation would probably still have similarish semantics, though, and scanf/sscanf makes it a lot cleaner in some ways
04:26.16 andromeda-galaxy well, it might be worth converting at some point, but for now it works
04:27.12 Stragus *scanf() works as long as the data is precisely and exactly presented in the format expected, yes
04:40.03 andromeda-galaxy brlcad: sorry to bother you about this again, but just for planning purposes, do you have any idea when you'll be able to put up the rt bundle generationo visualization task that we were talking about earlier?

15:40.20 Ch3ck andromeda-galaxy, nice catch there looks like it was causing sscanf tests to fail?
15:40.25 Ch3ck YashM, yeah
15:40.37 YashM A forge just got accepted -.-
15:40.42 Ch3ck had some probs with ssh this afternoon
15:40.51 andromeda-galaxy Ch3ck: actually, the quat tests were failing
15:41.04 andromeda-galaxy the sscanf tests only test bu_sscanf, but the quat tests all use bu_scan_fastf_t()
15:41.06 Ch3ck which one is that?
15:41.09 Ch3ck YashM,
15:41.11 YashM 5202849461960704
15:41.14 andromeda-galaxy all the quaternion tests? do you have a checkout with them?
15:41.34 andromeda-galaxy (libbn)
15:42.08 Ch3ck andromeda-galaxy, yeah
15:42.16 andromeda-galaxy Ch3ck: okay
15:42.37 andromeda-galaxy looking into those, I found out that the input was being scanned incorrectly, which was why they were failing
15:42.44 andromeda-galaxy which turned out to be the bug in bu_scan_fastf_t,
15:42.58 Ch3ck YashM, could you please give me a pointer to that?

15:44.33 YashM ishwerdas
15:47.01 Ch3ck YashM, will look into it thanks
15:47.07 YashM okay
15:47.19 Ch3ck andromeda-galaxy, makes sense. it's supposed to be 0 there or part_n
15:47.34 Ch3ck since successful input returns 1
15:47.57 andromeda-galaxy Ch3ck: since %n doesn't add anything to the return value, the part_n value after delimiter scanning should be 0 not 1
15:48.04 andromeda-galaxy since the delim string is just a normal string
15:49.22 Ch3ck andromeda-galaxy, good

16:00.29 Ch3ck ahh, let me see
16:01.10 shardulc the other commands (eg. the converters, the rt* commands, etc.) all have a single source file where the options are parsed

16:01.39 Ch3ck and give me the error you see if the unexpected error click on "OK"

16:04.19 shardulc yes, archer launches fine with just the one error dialog
16:04.34 shardulc but this is without any arguments

16:11.17 shardulc to write the doc, I have to mention the parallels between mged and archer and it looks like the mged docfile is the perfect structure for the archer docfile.
16:11.26 andromeda-galaxy Ch3ck: what?
16:11.43 Ch3ck just seen you finished a task for review?
16:11.52 shardulc it has all these command-line options, and not too much about the interface itself
16:11.54 Ch3ck was it not you? andromeda-galaxy
16:12.10 andromeda-galaxy Ch3ck: that task? 5874710239772672?
16:12.25 Ch3ck andromeda-galaxy, yeah
16:12.35 andromeda-galaxy Ch3ck: yeah, I've had that one waiting for a whilne
16:13.05 andromeda-galaxy I was hoping brlcad would put up the visualization task that I finished first which Imentioned in the comment, so I didn't put it up until now, but it's been a couple of days so I decided too anyway
16:13.33 Ch3ck alright andromeda-galaxy
16:14.27 Ch3ck shardulc, i don't understand
16:15.12 ``Erik msg'd details to brlcad, he can su and run the cmds when he sees it
16:15.32 shardulc if I look at the mged docfile (doc/docbook/system/man1/en/mged.xml; see bin/brlman mged)
16:16.07 shardulc I see four paras about mged itself (but not much about the interface) and the rest is command-line switches and stuff
16:16.23 shardulc then they have examples
16:17.18 Ch3ck Ok, I think you should use that document to model a similar one for archer?
16:17.30 shardulc it's explicitly mentioned that the interface itself is outside the scope of the docfile, and so in the docfile I'm writing for archer, I won't include much about how archer tries to build on top of mged but rather more about the options
16:17.51 shardulc yes, that's what the task description says
