| 02:30.19 | hcurtis | Update: If the issue named in the comments starting on line 892 of the Sourceforge version of fast4-g is the issue that I need to address, then I've been barking up the wrong tree. My main problem was that I was analyzing the wrong version of fast4-g. I thought the one I found in the xref would be ok to use, but I've realized that it is outdated. |
| 02:31.53 | hcurtis | At any rate, when I compare the version of fast4-g in commit 56492 to that in commit 60592, I can see how the former uses static allocation whereas the latter utilizes dynamic allocation. |

| 09:11.31 | hcurtis | Update: If I now understand the fast4-g problem correctly, the program’s manually recreated wmember list is a new container that the wmembers are copied into. What I need to do to improve the program is instead expand the container that is already present. In other words, I should use a null-terminated list and allow the memory allocated for it to change dynamically when necessary. |

| 22:52.30 | hcurtis | brlcad: You said that you always read the backlog, so I imagine you've read my updates. Do you think I'm doing ok with fast4-g? |

| 22:55.11 | brlcad | hcurtis: yes, though a little concerned that you didn't get the conversion to libbu working with your example program |
| 22:55.35 | brlcad | it was good that you found the commits to fast4-g and were able to recognize how it was changed from static to dynamic |
| 22:56.37 | brlcad | note how the change to dynamic was not as simple as you learned, that's a key point because it almost should have been that simple .. not the complicated loop that deeply copied everything from one container to the allocated one |
| 22:57.13 | hcurtis | Ok |
| 22:57.35 | brlcad | I suggest starting with the stack-allocated version before the change and seeing if you can independently make it dynamic (pay no attention to what the other person did) |
| 22:57.47 | hcurtis | Ok |
| 22:58.22 | brlcad | learning how to use realloc may be necessary, but the gist there is very simple -- you use that to change the size of an existing heap (malloc) allocation |
| 22:58.34 | hcurtis | Yes |
| 22:59.02 | brlcad | and if it's not clear already, you can basically treat bu_malloc == malloc; bu_calloc == calloc; bu_realloc == realloc; bu_free == free |
| 22:59.33 | brlcad | the only difference from your perspective is a debugging string that documents what the allocation was for |
| 23:00.04 | hcurtis | Fortunately, I was able to learn about realloc, calloc, and free along with malloc. |
| 23:02.04 | brlcad | absorb and move on quickly ;) |
| 23:03.01 | hcurtis | I am sorry that it is taking so long. One major problem was my using that outdated version of fast4-g. I'll just have to take it as a mistake to learn from. |
| 23:04.02 | ``Erik | hcurtis: always stay up to date... I recommend you svn up several times a day |
| 23:04.37 | hcurtis | ``Erik: Hi, Erik. |
| 23:05.16 | hcurtis | ``Erik: Thank you. |
| 23:05.34 | hcurtis | brlcad: I thank you as well. |
| 23:05.35 | brlcad | also why getting a self-compiled version of BRL-CAD from checkout was listed as a checklist step (#16 iirc) too |
| 23:05.54 | hcurtis | Yes |
| 23:06.13 | brlcad | have you settled on an environment yet or are you still bouncing around? |
| 23:07.27 | brlcad | really do suggest sticking either with windows or with the VM (I'd recommend the VM) or installing Linux if you can avoid a new environment being a distraction / time sink (it's very tempting to explore when one self-installs) |
| 23:08.36 | hcurtis | I would like to give you details and ask you questions about that, but only if you are interested in it. |
| 23:08.42 | brlcad | trouble with windows is you end up needing to learn tricks like what you added to your test program to make it pause and wait for your input, otherwise it just flashed a window at you |
| 23:09.01 | brlcad | and then people here telling you to not do that, it's not portable ;) |
| 23:09.38 | hcurtis | Yes |
| 23:10.46 | brlcad | sorry, I really don't have time for getting into details, but I'll take that as a "no" if there's an explanation required ;) if that's wrong, just let me know windows or linux or whatever else you're using so I know what problems to expect you'll be facing |
| 23:12.23 | hcurtis | I was using Windows for the exercises and the VM for the libbu tasks. |
| 23:13.48 | brlcad | that's fine, but I guess my point / suggestion is to pick one and stick with it for better or worse, not just whichever you can get working |
| 23:13.59 | hcurtis | I decided to wait to look into a new Linux laptop because I wanted to focus on getting the programs done. |
| 23:14.11 | hcurtis | Ok |
| 23:14.35 | brlcad | because inevitably that method results in being unsure of the environment and trying everything twice, which means problems often take twice as long to be overcome when they are encountered (and the WILL be encountered, repeatedly, it's the nature of this beast) |
| 23:14.54 | hcurtis | Ok |
| 23:16.09 | brlcad | the VM really should be adequate for now .. you just need to learn a basic dev environment / editor |
| 23:16.26 | hcurtis | Do you want to know more about my problems with the conversion to libbu |
| 23:17.35 | brlcad | you might want to download+install Kate in the VM: http://kate-editor.org/get-it/ |
| 23:17.45 | hcurtis | Ok |
| 23:18.18 | brlcad | not your problems, but I'd be glad to try and answer any questions you have that will help you progress |
| 23:19.06 | brlcad | seeing as you read the smart questions paper again a few days ago, you know what I mean ;) |
| 23:19.57 | ``Erik | hcurtis: the dev log you're filling out daily would be a good place to enumerate problems... if you gave it a shot and still need help, just ask (you're kinda getting close to asking to ask) |
| 23:20.11 | hcurtis | brlcad: I do. You didn't see me "read in," did you? ;) |
| 23:21.10 | hcurtis | ``Erik: Ok |
| 23:21.14 | brlcad | yeah, that's good .. just fire off some questions |
| 23:21.14 | ``Erik | and, yeah, the vm should be adequate for now... buying a laptop just for gsoc seems kind of silly to me, unless you're been itching to buy one and are just looking for an excuse ;) |
| 23:22.13 | brlcad | most of your questions really will be answerable by many people, so you can just ask and see who eventually responds |
| 23:22.50 | ``Erik | is the vm running X and a desktop environment (kde, gnome, unity, xfce, ...)? |
| 23:22.56 | brlcad | yeah |
| 23:23.36 | brlcad | full blown debian distro iirc |
| 23:23.54 | brlcad | 7.2, 32-bit |
| 23:24.22 | ``Erik | cool, there're lots of ide's available :) I know cmake has a codeblocks target, I wonder how well our use of cmake works with that |
| 23:24.30 | brlcad | I think it even has a basic text editor already installed so perhaps even ignore that suggestion about installing Kate if you found and editor that is working for you |
| 23:24.41 | ``Erik | kedit or gedit? |
| 23:24.54 | brlcad | I forget, Tom put some GUI editor in there I think |
| 23:25.16 | brlcad | nano or pico would even be fine at this stage .. at least for the next few weeks |
| 23:25.31 | hcurtis | brlcad: I haven't thought about the libbu task in a few days. I decided to focus on fast4-g instead. I will need to come up with researched, intelligent questions about the libbu situation before I ask. |
| 23:25.43 | brlcad | okay |
| 23:25.52 | ``Erik | *nod* I did plenty of C in pico and joe before getting serious about learning vim :) |
| 23:26.42 | brlcad | if I recall, you ran into a build error when was to be expected (that pretty much is the entire effort, figuring that out, because the C changes to use libbu were basically putting bu_ on things) |
| 23:27.40 | brlcad | you had to 1) tell gcc where to find the header and 2) tell gcc where to find the library and doing both of those after compiling BRL-CAD (so you have a library to point to) |
| 23:28.12 | brlcad | that's the -I and -L and -l options (man gcc and/or search the web for compiling+linking tutorial with gcc) |
| 23:28.22 | hcurtis | Ok |
| 23:28.26 | brlcad | gotta run, talk more later .. keep up the hard work ;) |
| 23:28.34 | hcurtis | Ok. Ttyl |
| 23:28.48 | brlcad | s/when/which/ |
| 23:28.50 | brlcad | cya |
| 23:31.03 | hcurtis | ``Erik: When you say I'm kinda getting close to asking to ask, I'm not 100% sure what you mean. |
