08:26:26[IDC]DragonHi LinusN, BC!
08:26:44LinusNhola [IDC]Dragon
08:27:11[IDC]DragonLinusN: breaking the VC sim was no fun :-(
08:28:07LinusNsorry
08:28:10*[IDC]Dragon spent the avail hors on sunday getting this to work
08:28:15[IDC]Dragonhours
08:28:24LinusNbut you managed to get it working?
08:28:31[IDC]Dragonby finally walking back in cvs
08:29:05[IDC]Dragonand got no settings code done, like I originally planned
08:29:37LinusNwhy are you forced to use vc++?
08:30:12[IDC]Dragonbecause that's the tool I'm living in, and I wanted the debugger
08:31:29[IDC]Dragondoes cygwin come with a debugger worth the name?
08:31:34LinusNgdb
08:31:48midk*worth the name?
08:32:12[IDC]Dragongraphical, in the editor, variable contents popping up while hovering the mouse, etc. ?
08:32:58*[IDC]Dragon is spoiled
08:33:15LinusNyou are trapped in IDE hell, my friend
08:33:34[IDC]Dragonveryyyy comfy
08:35:14BC|codinghi [IDC]Dragon (back from making a cuppa)
08:36:05[IDC]DragonLinusN: you're trapped in command line hell ;-)
08:36:11midklol
08:36:29*[IDC]Dragon not starting any flamewar, nono
08:44:34BC|codinglinus, I see you have been working on getting the sim back up to speed ....do you know if we can expect libplugin support soon?
08:46:59LinusNi hope so
08:48:23BC|codingi have a real neat quick bodge in the mean time ....at the bottom of lib.h have #ifdef SIM #include "lib.c"
08:49:09LinusNlib.c?
08:49:29BC|codingsorry lib.c as in the counterpart to lib.h
08:49:49BC|codingeg. grey.h would include grey.c
08:49:54LinusNi get it
08:50:07BC|codingit a bodge, but it gets the sim up and running :)
08:50:14hardeep[IDC]Dragon: I've got a fix for getting vc++ working again
08:50:47hardeepLinusN: the changes add a couple of #ifdef's for vc++ in the common file code, is that okay?
08:50:59BC|codingonly problem is that plugins do not "update dependancies" so if you update a "lib" then you need to TOUCH all plugins that use it
08:51:05hardeep(just an include path and a typedef)
08:53:44[IDC]Dragonhardeep: great!
08:53:49LinusNhardeep: that's ok
08:54:02[IDC]DragonI had no time to look in the details of it
08:54:28[IDC]DragonSo I rolled back, hacked plugin.c prefixing
08:58:16LinusN[IDC]Dragon: if you want a graphical gdb in cygwin, try starting insight.exe instead of gdb.exe
08:59:45[IDC]Dragonah, that looks like the SH gdb
09:00
09:00:56[IDC]Dragonhave to remember that one
09:01:03LinusNunfortunately, the debug output ends up in silly dialogs
09:01:10hardeepVC++ is so much nicer to use. :)
09:01:21LinusNi agree that the vc++ debugger is nice
09:01:35LinusNbut i don't have vc++
09:01:35BC|codinganyone know about "zip: not found" error in "make zip" ?
09:01:38[IDC]Dragonlightyears ahead
09:01:51LinusNBC|coding: install zip
09:03:15LinusNit's under "Archive" in the cygwin installer
09:03:34BC|codingah "install" is a cygwin thing?
09:04:20hardeep[IDC]Dragon: changes committed. There's one problem: the vc++ compiler doesn't like empty structs and there's one in the settings_menu. I haven't figured out a nice fix so I just hack in something for now
09:04:54LinusNBC|coding: i guess your devkit should include the zip package as well
09:05:12[IDC]Dragonhardeep: I have a fix for that one, could commit it
09:05:36hardeepplease do, it's annoying. :)

09:07:06BC|codingall I did with the devkit was package it nicely

10:53:20kurzhaarrockerWhat about the peak meter?
10:53:26midk|zZzyou made it?
10:53:29kurzhaarrockeryes
10:53:30midk|zZzthe rockbox peak meter.
10:53:37midk|zZzomfgz muchly loves it!
10:53:59kurzhaarrocker:) me too
10:54:30midk|zZzi especially like the decay settings
10:54:35midk|zZzit is quite nice at ie 4 or 6
10:54:49kurzhaarrockerwell, I only wished it was more precise. Doesn't really help much when recording.
10:54:50midk|zZzsort of pointless suggestion: decay amount and decay speed
10:57:15kurzhaarrockerThat is related to each other as the decay speed is defined by the "display framerate" - which is fixed at 20 (?) fps.
10:57:42midk|zZzi once made a patch that let you update the peakmeter's framerate instead of a "performance" option
10:57:54midk|zZzi prefer framerate to performance anyday
10:58:50kurzhaarrockerThat doesn't help much because the lcd speed limits.
10:59:18kurzhaarrockerIncreasing the framerate doesn't make the thing more precise.
10:59:44kurzhaarrockerMore readouts / time makes the peak meter more precise and that is what the performance is about.
11:00
11:02:46midk|zZzyes, it just looks smoother at IE 30
11:03:09midk|zZzshould be 20fps save energy, 30fps high quality

11:46:54BC|codinghandy - are you coordinating with pfavr?
11:47:37BC|codingzagor mentioned the idea of event-driven, such an idea would allow things like audio-3587 to redirect the sound controls to a plugin
11:54:06c0uttabc - no, my work is not that sophisticated. it simply enables actions to be executed depending upon different contexts
11:54:27c0uttamainly in response to user interaction
11:55:05BC|codingcould a user-interaction not constitute a context under which a plugin were run, much like autoexec?
11:55:51c0uttaprobably, but my brain is not capable of thinking that far outside my home-made square
11:56:41BC|codingeach time the user does a thing ...call event(EVENT_ID) ...then let bool event(int id) do all the processing?

15:00:05[IDC]DragonI'm working on a new settings code, found that global_settings.rec_timesplit is not persisted, is that intentional?
15:01:45[IDC]DragonWith .cfg files, it's even more strange: it can get loaded, but is not saved.
15:02:25Zagori think there are more recording options that are not persistant
15:03:04[IDC]Dragonspeaking about the bits in the sector, this is the only one I found
15:03:39[IDC]Dragon(just made a sanity check for my code)
15:06:21Zagorok
15:08:26[IDC]DragonI pack the bits now, we can fit almost all values in the RTC RAM
15:09:19[IDC]Dragonand it's table-driven, no more pages of code for the persisting
15:09:50Zagorwe have discussed for a long time to move settings out of rtc and into a config file

15:12:10LinusNyeah
15:12:26LinusNbut i can't remember why we didn't make it persistent...
15:13:40[IDC]Dragonsuch a special case is no good for a table...
15:14:03LinusNi think we can make it persistent
15:14:44[IDC]DragonOK.
15:15:26[IDC]DragonWe will have 2 tables then, one for the RTC bits, one for the bits spilled into the HD sector.
15:15:51LinusNsounds good
15:16:33[IDC]DragonI can fit most in the first, was thinking if I place the once causing a HD spinup anyway while changed into the second
15:17:15LinusNalso remember that players don't have RTC
15:17:44[IDC]Dragonto minimize the effect of a setting being unchanged if the disk wasn't spinning before powering off

15:26:16BC|coding"Rockblox"
15:26:33BC|coding"witty" is the English word, but I don't know if it translates

15:27:02BC|codinglol
15:27:29BC|codingWitty: Quick to discern and express amusing insights or relationships.
15:27:42midk|zZzi know what witty means.
15:27:57BC|codingI didn't, I just knew when to use it
15:28:13midk|zZzlol
15:28:25BagderIt could also be named "falling rocks within a box" ;-)
15:28:44Zagorsounds by that like only a person can be witty, not a story/wording
15:29:52BC|codingit is also defined as: Possessing or demonstrating wit in speech or writing
15:30:12Zagorsounds like a person too :)
15:30:28Zagorbut I know, it's not only used for persons

16:32:00BC|codingBagder, quick Q ...does the viewers support multiple plugins per file extension?
16:32:15Bagderno
16:32:18BC|codingta
16:39:29lImbuswhat about the Open with... ?
16:39:55Bagderyes, that's the way to allow other plugins to run the specific file
16:40:08Bagderbut there's only one default
16:40:53BC|codingnot that it is relevant for me now, would it be an option to goto open_with, if multiple rocks are registered to a filetype?
16:41:21Bagderhm, possibly
16:41:32Bagderbut I'm not sure it would be good
16:42:59BC|codingone example I can think of is if you had a jpg->rif (rockbox image format) then you might like to choose whether to view or convert, but the user could disable it easily enough by editing the config file
16:44:45Bagderyeps
16:45:02BC|codingif you do find yourself in filetypes.c, you may like to consider that because the sim holds all of its rocks in one dir, the #define's for maxstr and maxfiles are too small

16:46:55Bagderthe sim should make use of the viewers dir too
16:47:52BC|codingThere are a number of sim improvements that could be made ;)
16:47:57Bagderyes
16:48:06Bagderwe made some the other day
16:48:11Bagderin Linus' commit
16:48:17BC|codingYes, I saw :)
16:50:43Bagdera 'make install' for the sim would make sense
16:51:08*Bagder starts working on one
17:00
17:00:31Zagori think it would only be annoying to *always* have to select which plugin you want to use
17:00:56Zagor(always = if there are >1 for the extension)
17:01:36BC|codingbut with the config file, the power has been given to the user :)
17:01:46BC|codingnice work there btw
17:02:05Bagder(make zip && cd archos && unzip ../rockbox.zip)
17:02:14Bagderkinda handy
17:03:00ZagorBC|coding: yeah, but I'd first like to see 5 users actually want the power to be annoyed like that :)
17:03:41BC|codinglol - I'm not sure I can think of a better solution :(
17:05:10Zagorthere already is a solution: open with
17:06:09Bagdernow there's a "make install" for the simulator
17:06:28BC|codingdoes it set up the whole dir structure?
17:06:33Bagderyeps
17:07:04BC|codingcool ...does "make all" put all the files in the right place, or is that only done at "make install" time
17:07:21Bagderonly with make install
17:07:34BC|codingrighty
17:07:42Bagderyou can make that 'make all install' to make it happen at once
17:07:54BC|codingbit of a problem that
17:08:14BC|codingmeans that during testing I need one compile and for a distro I need another
17:08:57Bagderwhy is that a problem?
17:09:12Bagderyou already needed a different make to build a package for target
17:09:53BC|codingdifferent code, not just a re-make
17:10:08Bagderwhy would the code be different?
17:10:25Bagderthat would be a bug in the sim, wouldn't it?
17:10:25BC|coding#ifsim use this dir #ifsef install use this dir #ifdef build use this dir
17:10:37Bagderthat's bad code
17:11:09Bagderthe sim should hide the sim-specific path-fiddling
17:11:20BC|codingdepends on your preferred coding style ....plus it makes it easier for me, as I do not need to touch core code that way
17:11:37Bagderyou shouldn't need to change path in the sim
17:11:56Bagdercan you show a specific example when you need to?
17:12:12BC|codingnot tried a compile since the new mods
17:12:23BC|codingbut I could show you enough before then
17:12:27Bagderthe win32 sim was all messed up before
17:12:31Bagderpath-wise
17:12:39BC|codingand that's being nice
17:12:45Bagderindeed
17:12:57BC|codinganythoughts of libplugin support?
17:13:12Bagdersupport for what?
17:13:28BC|codingMy libs - what I am about to release
17:14:07BC|codingI've got my rnd() one and my gfx() pretty much ready to roll
17:14:41BC|codinghopefully cards() won't be that far behind
17:15:29BC|codingcards() is mainly on hold because I needed to write gfx()
17:15:52BC|codingno rush, as I say the work around is uber-simple
17:16:09BC|codingjust one minor annoyance is that plugins do not have dependants
17:16:19BC|codingso if you update the lib, you need to touch the plugin
17:16:20Zagorwe have lib support in plugins already
17:16:35Bagderah, right
17:16:39BC|codingnot in sim, unless it is super-recent
17:16:47Bagderour depend-stuff is actually rather lame in general imho
17:17:05BC|codingI'd love to be able to have things like othelo.h
17:18:35BagderZagor: why isn't the plugins using the same dep stuff as the rest?
17:18:40Bagderyou remember?
17:18:51Zagorsimple laziness, i think
17:22:59Zagorplugins couldn't have dependencies in the beginning, so no more was needed
17:23:05Bagderme go home

17:23:55ZagorBC|coding: you can. check out apps/plugins/lib

17:25:03BC|codingactually, I'm a dos man
17:25:27Zagorit's a lot easier nowadays since we switched off of sourceforge though. you should have another go, methinks.
17:25:32BC|codingas far as dev goes, windows is just a dos multi-session tool for me
17:26:15BC|codingI wish I could get all my favourite apps for linux - but I've ust gotten tooo attached to things like trillian and ultra-edit

17:30:12Zagoryeah. there's not much emacs can't do
17:30:48BC|codingi think it's mainly the pain of having to learn it all, all over again that builds the most resistance

21:46:31rakauscuz i'm getting sick of the green ones, i want to know if there's anyway to remove them and replace them with red led's
21:52:22Zagoryes. it is possible
21:53:10rakausoooh
21:53:15rakausis it difficult to do so?
21:53:31Zagoryes, quite. you must be pretty good with the soldering pen.
21:54:05rakaushmm ok
21:54:10Zagor[idc]dragon posted some images to the mailing list a while back showing how he'd changed to white leds
21:54:30rakausok i'll check those out

22:37:05amiconnfull house ;)
22:37:12Bagderevening
22:37:15[IDC]DragonHi Jens
22:37:26[IDC]DragonLinus is missing...
22:37:40amiconnyup
22:38:21amiconnMy box will soon get a larger hd (already ordered) :)
22:38:40[IDC]DragonI did the first part of the new settings code, a table for squeezing the bits to RTC
22:38:47[IDC]Dragonsaves about 1 KB
22:39:50amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I'm feeling a bit dumb just now (if somebody of you read the logs)
22:40:08[IDC]Dragonwe had a chat today
22:40:41amiconnMy idea of changing the bitswap algo and getting it faster this way is crap - as it seems I can't even read my own code correctly :(
22:40:45[IDC]Dragonthe RTC RAM content is currently "assembled" with a lot of code
22:41:15[IDC]DragonI've changed it into a table, and very few code
22:41:47[IDC]Dragonamiconn: I've missed the bitswap discussion
22:43:10amiconnSee log http://rockbox.haxx.se/irc/rockbox-20040613.txt 09:38+, I explained it to Bluechip
22:43:38[IDC]Dragonbut you said it's "crap", should I bother then?
22:44:20amiconnAlthough my idea for a new bitswap algo will definitely work, and still save 100+ bytes of IRAM, it wouldn't be faster than the current implementation, but a bit slower (~16%)
22:44:54[IDC]Dragonwe're not short of IRAM currently
22:45:02[IDC]DragonI'd prefer the speed
22:45:07amiconnThe new algo would take 29 clock cycles for swapping 4 bytes, while the current one takes 25 cycles
22:45:14amiconn(in the main loop)
22:45:51amiconnThis is because I said it's crap, because yesterday I erred in that - thought the 25 cyles were for swapping 2 bytes
22:52:16[IDC]Dragondoes somebody know if and how the SH compiler pads structures?
22:52:46[IDC]Dragonwill a 32 bit value be 32 bit alined?
22:52:55BagderI'd guess so
22:53:11[IDC]Dragoncan it reorder struct members to minimize padding?
22:53:24BagderI don't think it does
22:53:33[IDC]Dragonso I have to do that...
22:53:38 Quit rakaus ()
22:55:24amiconn[IDC]Dragon: When you reorder struct members, cosider putting the most used members in the beginning (within reach of the direct offset addressing of the sh1) to speed up access
22:55:47elinenbeamiconn, [IDC]Dragon, Zagor, Bagder: anyone have anything exciting on the horizon for Rockbox?
22:56:08[IDC]Dragonif you call new settings code exciting...
22:56:23elinenbeI don't consider saving some IRAM or a quicker bitswap that exciting! :)
22:56:34elinenbe[IDC]Dragon: what is up with the settings code?
22:56:35Bagdera 'make install' for the sim then? ;-)
22:56:44*Bagder giggles
22:56:56elinenbeoh.. now that is exciting!
22:56:57[IDC]Dragonwe're really thrilling
22:57:53[IDC]Dragonelinenbe: the settings code is a pure internal change, saving some memory
22:58:22[IDC]Dragona user does't benefit from it
23:00
23:00:18elinenbeI was hoping to hear about the game boy emulator...
23:00:34[IDC]DragonZagor: I'm putting the .cfg strings in my table now, too
23:00:45elinenbeor an ID3 viewer plugin that supports jpegs in ID3v2 tags...
23:00:53[IDC]Dragonso we have them only once,and save another ton of code
23:01:06Bagder[IDC]Dragon: that sounds neat
23:01:16Bagderthat code has been ugly a long time
23:01:30[IDC]Dragonthe drawback is that .cfg files won't get internal comment blocks any more
23:01:46amiconnI had a look at the settings code once ...grr
23:02:24Zagorcomments shouldn't be hard to add, would they? just a few const char* in the table
23:03:06[IDC]Dragonbut then I'd need some strange escape table entries to control that
23:03:40Zagorok..? i guess I'll have to see your solution to understand that :)
23:05:52[IDC]Dragoneach value is represented by the following struct (excuse the flooding):
23:06:03[IDC]Dragon short bit_pos; /* bit position in RTC/sector */
23:06:03[IDC]Dragon unsigned char bit_size; /* how many bits within the bitfield */
23:06:03[IDC]Dragon bool is_signed; /* global_settings value is signed */
23:06:03DBUGEnqueued KICK [IDC]Dragon
23:06:03[IDC]Dragon short settings_offset; /* store position in global_settings struct */

23:06:03[IDC]Dragon const char* cfg_name; /* variable name in a .cfg file */
23:06:05[IDC]Dragon const char* cfg_val; /* set of values, or NULL for a numerical value */

23:26:38Zagoryes
23:26:44hardeeplet me try win32
23:30:24Zagorhmm, the O_RDONLY etc defines are taken from rockbox instead of the host OS. that breaks it royally.
23:31:07Zagorthis used to work...
23:31:07Bagderouch
23:31:18Bagderliiiiinnuuuuuuuuuus!
23:31:20Bagder;-)
23:31:22Zagorhaha
23:31:38hardeephmmmm, it still works on the win32 sim
23:31:41Bagderits always good to have someone to blame
23:32:22ZagorO_CREAT is 0100 in linux. what is it in windows?
23:33:56hardeephmmm, the same
23:40:23hardeepoh, the code I was using was calling creat() directly.... let me try open with O_CREAT
23:41:04Zagorin the x11 sim at least, creat becomes sim_open. it never reaches sim_creat. i can't see where that happens.
23:41:28hardeepcreat becomes sim_creat
23:41:46hardeepwhen i stepped in it
23:41:50hardeepstrange
23:42:21Zagortry a plugin
23:42:23Bagderhardeep: that's what linus commit introduced
23:42:55Bagdermaybe the plugins don't use the right function?
23:43:23Zagori checked that too. looks alright.
23:51:00Bagderit never includes any host include file with the right define
23:51:45Zagorthat's what it seems like
23:52:18Bagderbut...
23:52:27Bagderits not that easy to add
23:53:08Bagderhm
