06:03.53Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 53669 brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/CompilerFlags.cmake: this needs more investigating still, but 10.6 is not liking -gstabs+ at all.  -ggdb seems to work just fine, though.  
06:06.17Notify03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 53670 brlcad/trunk/src/liboptical/sh_prj.c: fixed one bug in the structparse table where it was reading a fastf_t as a char for the i_perspective field.  add some sanity checks to make sure we don't dereference into bad memory via the img_sp->i_img[] array.

16:13.44brlcadwaves to Skriptkid
16:14.29SkriptkidHello :)
16:20.52SkriptkidI wanted to if the GCI 2012 tasks a contestant completes now will be credited to him/her later when the event officially begins on November 26.
16:24.29brlcadSkriptkid: so yes and no
16:24.45brlcadyou can work on as many as you like before the contest begins (how would I know if you did)
16:25.03brlcadyou just can't claim the tasks and submit your work until it begins
16:26.04SkriptkidOh. So we can complete it and submit it later when the contest is open. Thanks a lot :)
16:26.16brlcadthere's a slim chance that someone else might claim a task you finished, there's a chance that the tasks might have their goals changed slightly before the program begins, etc
16:26.40SkriptkidWill keep that in mind
16:26.47brlcadunlikely unless a lot of folks do the same tasks, so it's your call ;)
16:27.08brlcadyou're definitely encouraged to download BRL-CAD, compile, and run it to get familiar before the 26th
16:27.13SkriptkidGot it. Thank you again for your time :)
16:27.23brlcadso the tasks really only take you 2 hours or less
16:27.25SkriptkidYeah. Downloading the VM
16:27.51brlcadso one of the first things you'll want to do with the vm image is update the source checkout that it contains
16:28.07brlcadwe're working on uploading an updated vm within the next two weeks
16:29.02SkriptkidOkay. I'll download the current one to familiarize myself with BRL-CAD and download the upadate when it's released.
16:29.04brlcadbut that just saves you a few minutes download time ;)
16:29.13brlcadsure
16:29.23brlcadfeel free to hang out on irc too if you want to stay in the loop
16:29.37brlcadmost things are announced or discussed here before anywhere else
16:29.47brlcadsometimes the mailing list too
16:29.54SkriptkidWill do. Could you tell me which language(s) would be most helpful?
16:30.04brlcadwhat do you mean?
16:30.44SkriptkidWhich programming languages
16:30.47Skriptkidfor the coding tasks
16:31.36brlcadit varies task to task
16:31.51SkriptkidOh. Okay.
16:32.12brlcadof the coding tasks (note many are not coding) ...
16:32.26brlcadmost *require* some basic familiarity with C
16:32.30brlcadbut not all
16:32.40brlcade.g., the tasks that involve moving comments from source to header files
16:32.55brlcadthose are technically C, but anyone familiar with a basic text editor can do those
16:33.27SkriptkidIs Python useful anywhere at all?
16:34.00brlcadwe're working on adding tasks in other languages
16:34.25brlcadnote that we still have 12 days to add more and more tasks :)
16:34.32brlcadwe will be adding lots more still
16:35.05brlcadi know of at least a few php tasks, some can certainly involve python or perl in their solution
16:35.27brlcadwhen you're updating existing code or bugs, you'll obviously be working with whatever language is there already
16:38.40Skriptkidok
