02:22.10 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 64568 brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/DiffCache.cmake: The issue of reconfiguration pops up every now and then - write out the reaons to a text file when it happens rather than requiring the dev to know to go into DiffCache.cmake and uncomment the message lines.

06:45.46 Stragus Argh!! Someone sent me Mathlab code to port to CUDA... and the mathlab code is in PDF files!
06:45.48 Stragus Who writes code in PDF files?! Geez

08:08.15 archivist PDF the worst "standard" ever invented
08:10.19 Stragus I have never been given code in PDF files before
08:10.32 Stragus And there's hand-drawn diagrams between the chunks of code
08:10.38 Stragus And some functions aren't defined anywhere
08:10.51 Stragus sobs quietly
08:12.58 archivist I provide scans of old docs, separate image per page, some of the users offer to send me PDFs back! nooooo
08:14.41 archivist the nasty part about PDF is reading two pages from the same doc at one time, some readers dont let you have two instances looking at the same doc
08:15.07 Stragus No problem opening multiple instances of xpdf here
08:15.53 Stragus Copying the mathlab code out of the PDF messes up all the formatting though
08:16.41 Stragus This is atrocious. And I'm supposed to port that to CUDA. Some functions aren't defined anywhere!
08:17.40 Stragus ARGH! I need to yell but it's 4 am, so I'm screaming on IRC

16:23.03 vasc hello. where is a tutorial so that i can just render a scene and show it onscreen or dump it to a file?
16:24.09 vasc i've tried reading a couple but i'm not having much success here. some of the pdfs use an example .g file which isn't in SVN
16:24.37 vasc and i start mged and it just drops me into a command prompt
16:24.47 vasc no windows
16:32.07 vasc hmm.... maybe this isn't compiling with tk on

19:53.45 andrei_il Hello ! Quick update :I have been working with integrating a bison/flex parser into BRL-CAD logic . I ran into some issues as I have never implemented a parser before. I expect to get it working these days.
19:54.24 andrei_il Any other feedback on my proposal / what I should do other than what I m doing is appreciated.
19:56.11 Stragus Out of curiosity, what you are you parsing with bison/flex?
19:56.57 Stragus Personally, I found it *much* easier to implement a parser directly, than messing with these parser generators
19:57.52 Stragus (and I wrote parsers for my own little C-like language, JSON and some text data files)
19:58.14 andrei_il I am working towards making a OpenSCAD importer for BRL-CAD
19:58.37 andrei_il so my parser is for OpenSCAD language
19:59.21 Stragus I would suggest reading a little bit on recursive descent parsers before deciding if bison/flex is the best route
19:59.26 Stragus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_descent_parser
19:59.43 andrei_il I chose this method because they have parser bits that I could use in my code
20:01.03 Stragus Right. I'm not saying it's a bad choice, I found it terrible but it's also a matter of taste and preference. Just compare a little with the alternatives
