#rockbox log for 2005-12-10

00:00:10webguest76San: Have you tried searching for cygwin1.dll to see if you have multiple versions installed?
00:00:15Sanyes
00:00:19webguest76And?
00:00:27Sannothing
00:00:32webguest76*nothing*?
00:00:38Sanexcept for one
00:01:08amiconnThere's a filesystem for the good old amiga which allows this: It does write caching as long as data is written continuously, but if a (configurable) timeout expires after the last write operation, it starts flushing the cache to disk
00:01:16webguest76I don't know.. remove the devkit and install a full cygwin
00:02:58amiconnFor a removable device, just configure a short timeout, say 5 seconds, and you're almost as safe as with write caching disabled, but with better performance
00:03:06webguest76San: I trust you've tried restarting?
00:03:12webguest76rebooting.
00:03:15Sanyes
00:03:50webguest76amiconn: I'm sure lkml would welcome such a patch!
00:05:34Sanoh, wait, all the cygwin1.dll files are showing up now
00:05:42Sanwhat ones do i delete?
00:05:58webguest76Which ones do you have?
00:06:04webguest76And where's the devkit installed
00:06:21Santhe devkit in in C:\
00:06:28SanC:\Rockbox
00:06:56Sanand there are cygwin1.dll files showing up in system32 and \WINDOWS
00:07:23webguest76oh boy!
00:07:50Sangood or bad?
00:07:51Sanlol
00:08:45webguest76Well.. is there one in c:\rockbox as well?
00:08:50Sanyes
00:09:24amiconnCheck the versions
00:09:31Sanhow?
00:09:35Sanproperties?
00:09:43webguest76Just delete the ones not in c:\rockbox, I'd say
00:10:18amiconnproperties, page 'version'

00:23:52Sannope
00:24:06webguest76not there?
00:24:16webguest76Well, you're in the wrong directory then
00:24:29webguest76Or maybe you just have the dir set up differently
00:24:31Sanit is there when i look for it in the browser
00:25:12webguest76Sounds like your dir structure is not how you expect
00:25:47webguest76Which dir are you in?
00:25:53webguest76c:\rockbox\build or something?
00:26:04webguest76actually
00:26:14webguest76do `pwd`
00:26:18webguest76and paste the result
00:26:20SanI am in guest
00:26:24Sani did do pwd
00:26:38webguest76And what's the path?
00:27:31San../home/guest
00:28:12webguest76That'd be /home/guest
00:28:13webguest76Where's the tools dir?
00:28:21Sanin guest
00:28:37webguest76Ah, you should create a build dir
00:28:40webguest76mkdir build
00:28:41webguest76cd build
00:28:43Sani did

00:28:48webguest76Wellthen
00:28:54webguest76you should be in that dir when you configure
00:29:04Sangot it

00:42:42XavierGr_ok strange situation. What if a function calls a function that calls the previous one? What happens then?
00:44:55RotAtoRstuck in a infinite loop until a stack overflow maybe?
00:45:10RotAtoRbut i really don
00:45:25RotAtoR* but i really don't know much about these types of things
00:45:47XavierGr_Well you are close.
00:46:18XavierGr_My jpeg viewer will show a stack overflow error after ~12 jpeg changes.
00:47:27webguest76That sure does sound like "caught in an infinite loop until a stack overflow"
00:47:27 Join muesli_- [0] (i=muesli_t@Bbc74.b.pppool.de)
00:47:41webguest76Where infinite ~ 12
00:48:49XavierGr_wel I would assume that it calls the function before it finish its progress, but if I quit manually how all instances of main terminate?
00:49:10XavierGr_(maybe because plugin termination is called all instances of the viewer are lost I am not sure.)
00:49:41XavierGr_Thing is that after a few file changes I get the stkov error. It must be it.

01:42:02San:D

01:43:11RotAtoRMidgey34: sure, what kind of suggestions?
01:44:29Midgey34for COLOR_YELLOW I used LCD_RGBPACK(255,255,0)
01:44:43 Join Benacool [0] (i=Benacool@toronto-HSE-ppp4042891.sympatico.ca)
01:44:51Midgey34its a vibrant yellow as opposed to the current "gold" which actually looks rather ugly
01:44:58RotAtoRok, so something a little brighter
01:45:29Midgey34well, the gold on screen looks sort of puke green/brown
01:45:35Midgey34not very nice
01:45:40RotAtoRi don't have a h300 that I can test it on, so I just have to trust what others say about the color :)
01:45:43XavierGr_and please consider those who have dischromatopsia...
01:45:59Midgey34and pink I changed to a more dull color
01:46:14Midgey34so its easier to tell apart from purple
01:46:28Midgey34I'm using LCD_RGBPACK(255,136,205)
01:46:49Midgey34excuse me, 204 (not that much of a difference
01:47:07Midgey34that way its easier to pick out when scanning the board
01:47:08XavierGr_I remember 2-3 years ago playing Diablo 2. I couldn't recognize any difference between gold and green.
01:47:16XavierGr_Or in puzlle bubble
01:47:30RotAtoRok, I'll take a look at those
01:47:41Midgey34XavierGr: well, this new yellow is very different from green
01:47:58RotAtoRXavierGr_: are there any particular colors in Bejeweled that you have a hard time telling apart?
01:48:04Midgey34RotAtoR: try running them on the sim, it gives a decent representation of the color
01:48:24Midgey34at least here it does but I'm running an LCD monitor
01:48:49XavierGr_Sorry I don't own an H300 ;P Just saying this for the other users.
01:48:52RotAtoRfrom the pictures I've received of it actually running on an h300, the sim looks a fair amount different on my screen
01:49:02RotAtoRahh, ok ;)
01:49:06XavierGr_ah yes I can try the sim and see.
01:49:48Midgey34hmm, how does grayscale work? is it LCD_BRIGHTNESS or something else?
01:49:52RotAtoRspecifically the background looks much different, it's quite blue in the sim
01:50:07RotAtoRI'm not using any grayscale
01:50:17Midgey34right now I'm using LCD_BLACK, LCD_DARKGRAY
01:50:19Midgey34etc
01:50:35Midgey34well, I'm trying to get grayscale working on rockblox
01:50:35RotAtoRwith a white background, light gray was too close to white and dark gray looked to close to black
01:51:03Midgey34and the current defines I'm using for grayscale cause a nasty bug
01:51:29Midgey34anything that's black is ignored by the method that check the lines to see if they're clear
01:51:36Midgey34color works perfectly though
01:52:03Sanyes it does
01:52:50Sani have got a nice color scheme going on :D
01:53:37Kyl3color messes with rockboy tho
01:53:42Midgey34for anyone interested, I've added scores to rockblox, dropping method (press a button, the block goes to the bottom), color/grayscale support (currently buggy) and a pause method. I plan on implementing highscore tables and saving games
01:54:02SanI am adding color to pong
01:54:10Midgey34excellent
01:54:18Midgey34someone requested snake2
01:54:22Midgey34but I haven't had time
01:54:25Sani will try that then
01:54:29Sani have loads of time
01:54:36Sankyl3, i got the pong buttons working better and easier
01:54:45Midgey34I got the playfield to be the correct size, that took like 30 sec
01:54:50Kyl3Is there anyone here who grants CVS access? I apply loads of patches that havent been in the builds yet and it would help if i had access.
01:54:52Midgey34but that's all
01:55:06Kyl3You did? awesome. I need to look around
01:55:14Midgey34Kyl3: write access?
01:55:22Midgey34and there's no patch yet
01:55:35Kyl3yes.
01:55:36Midgey34(for rockblox that is)
01:55:46Sancolor in snake?
01:55:47Midgey34hmm, I think you'd have to talk to linus
01:55:55Sani'll do that then
01:56:06Midgey34San: yes, NIghtCat requested it last night

03:01:49XavierGr_but you will have to remove the pics to see.
03:02:13Kyl3its ok
03:02:45XavierGr_ah ok if you want to make it fit your screen you have to fiddle with the defined modifiers.

03:03:30Sanhow do you use bmp2rb?

03:03:49Kyl3type it when your in the tools dir
03:04:12Kyl3and go bmp2rb filename.bmp
03:04:20XavierGr_Though it will not fit exaclty (both height and width) except if the screen aspect ratio is the same with archos screens

03:11:33Sanhow do I scroll up?

03:12:35XavierGr_you can set your cmd's screen size in the options I said before.
03:12:41XavierGr_play with the options to see.
03:13:11Sanah, ok, ty
03:13:33XavierGr_only thing I haven't found yet is to set a bigger buffer for the screen in order to scroll up and see the history. It will just not allow me to make it bigger dont know why

06:28:15DreamTactix291nice
06:29:30lostlogica whopping 1% improvement in ticks spent in codec during profiling
06:29:43lostlogicI'm pretty sure it translates into a greater real world impact in this case, but I can't swear to it
06:30:05DreamTactix291every little bit counts
06:30:46lostlogic(I saw what seemed to be a 5% reduction in boost usage on one song at 90mhz, but that could have been the difference between constant contention with other threads and just enough free time for other threads)

10:07:24HooliganI had wondered if such a thing were possible.
10:07:38HooliganWith Rockbox, I'm sure it'd be possible if someone wants to code it.
10:08:15HooliganIs Audioscrobbler open-source or not?
10:08:50Slasheriaudioscrobbler has specs on it's website how to communicate with the service
10:08:54Slasheriit's very simple
10:09:08HooliganAh, okay.
10:09:15Acksawwhat i wanna do is
10:09:25Acksawget all the songs i play on my iriver
10:09:40Acksawto, when connected via USB, upload to audioscrobbler
10:10:07Slasherithat is possible to do, but we cannot get the play time on units without a rtc

10:15:27XavierGrit would be very difficult to make the jpeg viewer not to have limits.
10:15:34***Alert Mode level 3
10:15:34XavierGrespecially sorting will be like hell.
10:15:55Slasheritrue.. but you can use the audio buffer
10:16:07Slasheribtw, why your text suddenly turned into red? :)
10:16:23***Alert Mode level 4
10:16:23XavierGrI want this as a last resort, because I will try to make it view and play if the pic can fit the plugin memory
10:16:51XavierGrops yes you are right but why, I didn't wrote anything for it.
10:16:57Slasheriah, that will be challenging then ;)
10:17:20XavierGrI had an idea to put the file list into a physical file instead of memory
10:17:35XavierGrbut the sorting of this list will be a hell if I dont use the audio buffer.
10:18:10XavierGrof I leave it unsorted it works pretty well.
10:18:17SlasheriHmm, but dir tree viewer has already the file names sorted, maybe you could use that
10:18:47XavierGrhmm yes you are right but how can I access these data from a plugin?
10:18:56Slasherihehe, i don't know :)
10:19:02XavierGrlol
10:19:22XavierGrit would need many extra fn into the plugin api
10:20:10XavierGralso I have a problem with the list, when I try to read a line from the file.
10:20:16XavierGrI can use 2 ways.
10:20:52XavierGrread_line() and I dont care about the lenght of each filename, con is that I have to run from the start of the file to go to preffered line.
10:21:47XavierGrI can use fixed lenght filenames (padded with 0) and then use lseek to goto a specific line, then no loops.
10:22:17XavierGrBut is there a way to delete aa specific character from a file?
10:22:27 Quit Maxime` ()
10:23:52XavierGr(this is needed for pictures that the viewer can't open, I will mark each line with a letter, but then If I add a letter to the line I will break the fixed length structure)

10:30:35perplexityOnce you have the file names cached in memory then your sorting and organising is limited to shuffling the pointers around in the table.. the filenames never move..
10:33:00perplexityIf you had a pointer table for 5000 files, you are only looking at 20kb of ram for the pointers, the rest could be used as filename storage heap.. (on the iriver that is a huge amount of files)

10:44:10XavierGrperplexity I need a static buffer for that
10:44:24XavierGrthen I am limited again.
10:44:25perplexityYep.. so why not allocate one?
10:44:26XavierGrE.g:
10:44:45XavierGr1000 file * 30 letters = 30KB
10:45:03XavierGrI did that before and I was very limited on archos models
10:45:18perplexityWhy do you need to define a filename length?
10:45:39perplexitySome may be 10 letters, some may be 50.. with a heap buffer and pointer list it does not matter how long they are
10:45:49XavierGrwell how can I allocate a free buffer without using get audio buffer?
10:46:06perplexitySorry, I thought you were going to use the plugin buffer

10:47:11perplexityyes, I did see that LinusN.. thanks..
10:47:25LinusNXavierGr: you can forget about loading jpegs in the plugin buffer on archos
10:47:30perplexityXavierGr: So if you want to view a big picture you stop playback, but otherwise playback continues ?
10:47:49XavierGrpreplexity: yes something like that.
10:47:51perplexityHow many levels of grayscale does the Archos handle?
10:48:03LinusN30 something
10:48:04XavierGr33?
10:48:19perplexitySounds like an inconsistent interface XavierGr.. Like "why did my music just stop when I loaded the 10th picture, but the 1st 9 were all ok"
10:48:59XavierGrwell it is better than having explicitly to stop music. We can ofcourse ask before this happens.
10:49:13Gacelwhy not decode the jpeg directly to the screen? you just need a small buffer for every line
10:49:45XavierGrI don't have any knowledge of the JPEG decoding proccess...
10:49:58XavierGrI don't know if this can be done. Linus?
10:50:03perplexityI'm just wondering about the utility of loading a jpeg to a 30 something grayscale screen..
10:50:14Gaceli do ;) i did somthing like that on a palm once
10:50:18perplexityAre you scaling them on the fly XavierGr ?
10:50:36AcksawLinus?
10:50:43LinusNAcksaw: yes
10:50:52AcksawDid you see the thread i made on MR/
10:50:53Gacelscaling would require a few lines, but still not the full image
10:50:58XavierGrperplexity: I am doing this for fun and educational purposes. I am certain that I am not going to use the jpeg viewer much, But I would like to make it work
10:51:16LinusNAcksaw: better use my nick, else i won't be notified by my irc client
10:51:23Acksawahh
10:51:33perplexityGacel: I agree completely.. you can just decode it on the fly (provided it's not an interlaced jpeg)
10:51:43AcksawLinusN : did you see the thread i made on MR?
10:51:48LinusNAcksaw: what thread?
10:52:12LinusNGacel: XavierGr didn't write the jpeg decoder
10:52:38AcksawLinusn: i'll just find it
10:52:49Gaceli didn either, just used the offical one (which provides a line by lien mode)
10:53:02Gacelof course this will probably a different one
10:53:16perplexityHow does that go for jpegs that are progressively encoded Gacel ?
10:53:44Gacelgood question... it was a a vew yeras ago...
10:53:47Gacelfew
10:54:04Gacelcant remember
10:54:46XavierGrit could be way slow to decode line by line though...
10:55:17LinusNthe thing is that the jpeg viewer can zoom
10:55:25perplexityurgh
10:55:30LinusNso it's not exactly trivial
10:55:46Gacelits challenging ;)
10:56:02LinusNit can still be done...
10:56:08AcksawLinusN: http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?p=353552#post353552
10:56:12perplexityanything is possible :)
10:56:25LinusNAcksaw: ah, that one
10:56:35Gacelthere are jpeg viewers that work acceptable on a 33mhz palm with 64k memory segment size...
10:57:11Gacelof course quite slow
10:57:40perplexityI don't see it as too much of a hassle Gacel, but the zooming is more of a challenge.. especially with the 32k plugin buffer on the Archos
10:58:44LinusNAcksaw: rockbox can gather runtime data

11:00:28AcksawNow just to find someone who can do it..
11:00:32XavierGrI will finish my "loading from disk" approach to see performance.
11:00:38XavierGrYou can do it
11:00:41XavierGr:p
11:00:51perplexityI think given the limitations you face with memory, thats a pretty good way to do it XavierGr
11:01:16 Quit San||Away (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
11:01:40XavierGrThe performance bottleneck may come when sorting. But I will try to make it fast.
11:01:52perplexityThe only thing I could suggest to speed it up is a similar index approach.. once you have the file written out you could generate an index for it so you know exactly where to lseek to for each record number, and could sort using that list instead
11:01:57 Quit Membrillo ()
11:02:44XavierGrlseek could be nice but also a dead end on my plan...
11:02:53perplexitywhy?
11:03:56XavierGrundortunately the jpeg viewer can't load many different formats so every time it founds a non compatible jpeg it justs exits. In my plan I want to mark those instances so the first encounter the user is noticed and then the program skips those entries
11:04:16XavierGrto do that I will add a specific byte to the line the file is in the list.
11:04:43XavierGrTo use lseek I must write the filenames in a constant lenght (E.g padded with 0)
11:05:12XavierGrbut when I will have to insert that specific byte the whole const lenght structure will broke.
11:05:17XavierGrny ideas?
11:05:27perplexityNo.. you write out all file names sequentially terminated with /0 and then you build an index to all the names.. if a file is not compatible you remove it from the index.. but leave it in the file on disk
11:06:01perplexityBut if you must to it your way, then just write the file name out with a preceeding byte.. "a/file/name/here"
11:06:12perplexityand if it's not compatible change it to "b/file/name/here"
11:06:17XavierGrah so you mean to make a int array which will have the byte position of each entry?
11:06:25perplexityexactly :)
11:06:38XavierGrthat seems good!

11:06:49perplexityYou could create it on the fly, or you could scan the file after you have created it and do it fomr htere..
11:07:08perplexityIf you use the array, you then just sort the pointers in the array, no messing about with the on disk file anymore..
11:07:38XavierGryup that sounds great thanks.

14:00:27XavierGrHelp!! Why if I call plugin_get_buffer twice my first buffer is lost?
14:00:51XavierGrI thought it overwrites FREE memory not one that I use.
14:01:20 Quit muesli_- (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
14:02:48Zak1392[Bill Clinton voice] Maybe because you're so fat! Hahahahaha!
14:02:58Zak1392but really, i wouldn't know
14:05:51Zak1392lol
14:08:11linuxstbXavierGr: plugin_get_buffer() just returns a pointer to the memory in the plugin buffer not used by the plugin itself. If you call it twice, it will give you the same value.
14:09:07linuxstbYou can read the implementation in apps/plugin.c
14:09:36XavierGrwell I call it first on a function to get an int buffer, then on another function it is called to get a char buffer. Isn't there a way to make the function allocate space on different adresses?
14:10:26linuxstbNo - you would have to write your own simple malloc system - i.e. call plugin_get_buffer() once at the start of your plugin, and then allocate memory from there inside your plugin.
14:11:05XavierGrwhat if I add at the return value the range of adress that the previous buffer uses?
14:11:14SlasheriHmm, tagcache is already capable browsing artists :) But i am afraid that it wont replace tagdb because it requires too much processing power on archos :/
14:11:44XavierGrSlasheri: Optimize it :\
14:12:11linuxstbXavierGr: The buffer_size parameter passed to plugin_get_buffer() is only used to return the amount of memory available. You don't pass a buffer size to the function.
14:13:06XavierGrwait I thought that the parameter was to ask for a specific amount of bytes.
14:13:11linuxstbNo.
14:13:24linuxstbRead the source to that function in apps/plugin.c
14:13:44linuxstbYou will see that buffer_size is only written to, never read.
14:14:15XavierGrbut I don't get it. Let's say I call it with a value of 10. What happens?
14:14:28XavierGrwhat's the return value.
14:14:40XavierGrI will look there to see if I can get it.
14:14:58linuxstbThe return value of the function is a pointer, and *buffer_size is set to the amount of memory in the plugin buffer not used by the plugin itself.
14:15:29linuxstbAs I said, *buffer_size is never used - it's just set to the size of the buffer the function returns.
14:16:45XavierGrconfusing, I will read the source then maybe I will bother you a little more if I don't get it.
14:16:51 Join muesli_- [0] (i=muesli_t@Bc1fa.b.pppool.de)
14:17:41linuxstbJust think of the function as not taking any parameters and returning two values - a pointer the buffer, and an integer containing the size of that buffer.
14:18:03linuxstbIf you call the function 10 times, you will always get the same two values returned.
14:18:27XavierGreven if I change the parameter?
14:18:32 Join webguest25 [0] (n=5087ce7d@labb.contactor.se)
14:18:36linuxstbYes. The parameter is ignored
14:18:44 Join Membrillo [0] (n=sam_kill@CPE-144-131-87-124.nsw.bigpond.net.au)
14:19:18XavierGrThat could be tricky then
14:19:32linuxstbAs I said, you will have to manage that buffer yourself inside your plugin.
14:19:41XavierGrI though that it was like a malloc, but then I was very confused that there was no free.
14:19:41webguest25Slasheri: perhaps its worthwhile just optimising the present tagdb apps, *shrugs* I uae filetree personally
14:19:54linuxstbXavierGr: No, it's not like malloc at all.
14:20:17Slasheriwebguest25: converting it to ram version would be *extremely* painful
14:20:29linuxstbWhen your plugin is loaded, there is some spare memory at the end of the plugin buffer - that function just returns a pointer to that buffer, and tells you how big it is.
14:20:52Slasherithe ram version is now already working pretty well but the disk only access and cache building on slow cpus needs still some designing
14:20:58XavierGrah that more clear now.
14:21:30XavierGr^that's
14:21:42webguest25Slasheri: will your db app replace the others then ?
14:21:57Slasheriwebguest25: i haven't think about that yet
14:22:22linuxstbSlasheri: Is "tagcache" code completely independent from "tagdb" then?
14:22:22Slasheriat least it doesn't need any external tools to build the db
14:22:27Slasheriyes
14:22:28webguest25I dont understand the benefit of your app ?
14:22:34MembrilloZak1392: you think the newer version is better?
14:22:54Slasheriwebguest25: the database is created on the player itself and loaded into ram (if enough ram is available)
14:23:09XavierGrok then my previous statement was right. If it returns a pointer to the start of the trailing (unused) plugin buffer, then, If I add the previous address range to the pointer I can use the rest of the buffer.
14:23:17Slasheriit allows very fast database searches and boot time, without needing pc apps to update the database
14:23:27webguest25will it support full artist/album/year etc browsing ?
14:24:05Slasheriwebguest25: currently artist/album/genre/song browsing is being implemented
14:24:21Slasheriand that will be as fast as browsing directories with dircache enabled
14:24:23 Quit muesli- (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
14:24:33webguest25sounds like it'll be very comprehensive then
14:24:54linuxstbXavierGr: Yes, I think so. That's what I meant by managing the buffer yourself. You will need to keep track of how much of the buffer you have allocated to different variables.
14:26:04XavierGryes, fortunately the first call is a fixed buffer of integers called only once at the start of the program.
14:26:48 Quit Zak1392 ()
14:27:14linuxstbXavierGr: If it's fixed, then you can just allocate it statically in your plugin - i.e. int myarray[ARRAY_SIZE];
14:30:01XavierGrlinuxstb:1) Yay it's working like a charm. 2) No I can't. The size of the array is given by how many jpeg the user has in the current folder. And that cannot be clculated at compile time.
14:30:59linuxstbXavierGr: In which case, it isn't "fixed". But I'm glad you've got it working.
14:31:21XavierGr(yeah sorry, fixed I mean per running time)

16:05:10lostlogicI'll crank CPU freq back down to 90mhz and test my torture song again momentarily to see if I've killed the 90mhz skips and stuff
16:05:14lostlogiclinuxstb: combination in this case
16:05:57lostlogiclinuxstb: started playing at 1/2 speed yesterday when I stopped profiling inlines, and today I inlined 2 more often called functions, which got me down to a few skips, then I made one more IRAM change and got to zero skips.
16:06:31linuxstbSounds good. I may even start encoding some of my FLACs to Vorbis soon.

16:15:48lostlogicdamn, still 3 skips on the whistles in this song, but the boost ratio's fallen another few percent
16:16:11XavierGrwhy on the whistles?
16:16:28lostlogicapplause + whistles are large on transient noises which are the hardest to encode.
16:16:39preglowbtw
16:16:40XavierGrinteresting
16:16:47preglowdoes the iriver firmware handle all oggs without skips?
16:16:58lostlogicI've never heard a skip on iRiver, certainly not on this song
16:17:14lostlogicYES! I've hit 90% boost on this song, previous low was 94!
16:17:28markunlostlogic: did you replace the mdct by fft and sorting/rotating?
16:17:28XavierGrI think it has some problems with low bitrate ones.
16:17:39lostlogicmarkun: no, all I've done is move things in IRAM and inline a few things
16:18:14preglowmarkun: someone has started working on replacing the imdct
16:18:19preglowi believe it was perplexity
16:18:27markuncool
16:18:49preglowhe's already replaced it with a naive approach, and it works
16:19:04Learlostlogic: what did you move?
16:20:45lostlogicLear: I've re-arranged pretty much everything −− I moved all data to IRAM except those lookup tables you said are not used by current libvorbis, and then took all functions out, and moved them back in based primarily on how much cache thrashing they'd cause.
16:21:23lostlogicLear: after that I merged codebook.c and bitwise.c so I could inline oggpack_look and oggpack_adv because they are called way too much to remain function calls.
16:23:32lostlogicI think the best thing that I moved to IRAM was the arrays of pointers that the codec moves around and calls through a lot
16:24:11preglowhmm
16:24:29preglowso, vorbis will be one of the few codecs we have which does not keeps its output buffers in iram
16:24:38preglowi wonder how that'll turn out when we do more dsp

16:27:57tucoztrue

16:28:01markunpreglow: I work in a very small company where it's normal to drink beer after 17:00, but every time I try I have to stop coding after a few minutes :)
16:28:12preglowhahah
16:28:20preglowit doesn't exactly do wonders for the concentration
16:28:27tucozhmm, it should be possible with a pre-processor.
16:28:37preglowanyway
16:28:41preglowi say let's not worry about this now
16:28:50preglowa solution will present itself, and i sincerely doubt it'll break what we're doing
16:29:02tucozBut, maybe we should have one file per chapter, and do it from within LaTeX
16:29:04XavierGrpreglow: and what is there much gain in performance with this?
16:29:21preglowXavierGr: you don't have to call the function anymore, and that takes a bit of time if the function is called often

16:29:36preglowtucoz: what do you mean?
16:29:50XavierGrhmm and are there any drawbacks?
16:30:14tucozpreglow, instead of having a iriver install chapter, one could have a install chapter and hopefully there are conditionals within latex
16:30:36lostlogicXavierGr: larger code size, because the code is duplicated wherever it was 'called from'
16:30:36linuxstbXavierGr: The drawback is that the code is duplicated - increasing the size of your program.
16:30:40lostlogichehe
16:30:53preglowtucoz: yes
16:30:58preglowtucoz: there are, btw
16:31:04tucozpreglow, oh, great :)
16:31:05preglowtucoz: and if not, we'll just use the preprocessor
16:31:29lostlogicfortunately, Tremor is actually quite small in code size, so that doesn't look like it'll cause a problem, plus the functions I inlined only had a couple of call sites (3 and 2 I believe).
16:31:30preglowtucoz: doing it any other way would not be productive
16:31:48tucozpreglow, that might be true, yes.
16:32:05preglowtucoz: the chapter files for some platforms would be more updated than others, etc
16:32:35preglowso yes, one file per chapter, with some parts differing from platform to platform
16:32:49tucozok, sounds good.
16:33:32preglowindeed it does
16:34:03tucozthat will be somewhat similar to rockbox code as well ;)
16:34:07linuxstbtucoz: Do you have CVS access?
16:34:11tucozlinuxstb, no
16:34:27preglowbut ok
16:34:31preglowdo you have this lying around somewhere?
16:34:33preglowi'd like a quick look

16:36:00preglowwhere did you get the makefile?
16:36:28tucozIt is something we use at school. I am writing my master's thesis in latex
16:36:39tucozThe LaTeX-rules file?
16:36:49linuxstbMaybe a useful approach would be to have separate rockbox-h100.tex, rockbox-player.tex, rockbox-recorder.tex etc files which are the main LaTeX files for each manual. These would specify which chapters are applicable to each target, and could define some target-specific macros.

16:37:24Learlostlogic: I'm not sure I know that much more than you, I must say... :)
16:37:42lostlogichehe, well how did you fidn out that some of the lookup tables aren't used in current libvorbis encoding?
16:38:12LearI played around with adding most/all stuff to iram, and inlining the most heavily called functions in bitwise.c, but didn't manage to see much difference...
16:38:45LearDownload all releases of libvorbis and see which block sizes they use.
16:39:05lostlogicnice nice −− having profiling results to compare definitely helps ;)
16:39:11preglowlinuxstb: well, that would pretty much only make sense if we were to include different files for different targets, and i don't think we'll be doing that
16:39:33linuxstbSome chapters may only be applicable for some targets - such as FM radio or recording.
16:39:52linuxstbAnd we need a way to define macros for different targets.
16:39:55tucozpreglow, http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/~kipp/LaTeX/index.html . I think that is the origin of the file
16:40:08preglowlinuxstb: so, did you find out how to do that from within latex?
16:40:45linuxstbNo, but I remember being able to define macros.
16:40:51linuxstbAnyway, I've got to run now, bbl.
16:41:11preglowyup, but if we end up having to use the c preprocessor, then that approach won't work well
16:41:14preglowso we need to figure that out first
16:41:15lostlogicLear: so I basically just did the next logical step from what you'd done by inlining most of bitwise.c into codebook.c, and moving more data to IRAM and applying cache trashing logic to the code IRAM strategy.
16:46:11preglowoh, and btw
16:46:16preglowtucoz: what charset to use?
16:46:23lostlogic*sigh* still haven't managed to break below the 50% boost level for the torture album at 124mhz.

19:29:42_FireFly_do you mean how quicksort works ??
19:29:44XavierGrwell, doings I mean proccess
19:30:45XavierGrI want someone to help me understand how to program the "compare" support function that qsort uses.
19:31:12XavierGrIt is full with double pointers which confuse me.
19:32:02_FireFly_?? double pointer
19:32:20_FireFly_my manpage say only one pointer for the compare fn
19:32:49XavierGr*(char **)p1;
19:32:58XavierGrwhat is that?
19:33:14XavierGrit makes my head hurt
19:33:15dpassen1a dereferenced pointer to pointer to char
19:33:23_FireFly_the two parameters of the compare fn gives an pointer to two objects which should be compared
19:33:27 Quit webguest78 ("CGI:IRC (EOF)")
19:33:39 Quit AliasCoffee ("Leaving")
19:33:46_FireFly_that's the qsort in my manpage; void qsort(void *base, size_t nmemb, size_t size,
19:33:46_FireFly_ int (*compar)(const void *, const void *))
19:34:08XavierGryes I got that and I am trying to do that. Thing is that the objects to be compared are in a file
19:34:49XavierGrp1 holds the seek position of the string that is to be compared
19:35:40_FireFly_that is a simple int afaik
19:35:48XavierGryes
19:35:59lostlogic:( hold detection not work on h300 wps?
19:36:00_FireFly_why then the *(char**)p1
19:36:01XavierGrbut it is past as a const void*
19:36:32_FireFly_the simply do int var = *((int*)p1)
19:36:36XavierGr(that was with my last attempt which had the strings in memory)
19:36:38_FireFly_then
19:36:49_FireFly_ah ok
19:37:39XavierGr_FireFly_: It compiled lets see if it works now.
19:37:41_FireFly_both parameters holds the position of two strings in the file am i right ??
19:37:51XavierGrThe other time it just hanged.
19:37:53CassandraHeya.
19:38:00_FireFly_hiho Cassandra
19:38:04CassandraWho's working on the iPod port?
19:39:39_FireFly_XavierGr: how looks like the var of the base-parameter
19:39:58_FireFly_is it an array of ints which holds the seek-pos
19:40:10_FireFly_of the strings in the file
19:40:12_FireFly_?
19:40:13 Quit NicoFR ()
19:40:23XavierGr_FireFly_: It runs though, it will not sort the list. And now opening a list of 850 files will take like 3 seconds to open.
19:40:23XavierGryes
19:40:47XavierGrso in compare I included code to open the file and read to that position.
19:41:24XavierGrand then *s1 = buf1 and *s2 = buf2 (bufs are from read line)

19:42:36XavierGrlet me paste it in paste bin.
19:42:48_FireFly_strcmp(buf1 ,buf2); should also do it ;)
19:43:09XavierGrnow that you mention it yes
19:43:32XavierGrI was so confused with it that I tried to change it as little as I could
19:43:42_FireFly_:)
19:45:37XavierGrhttp://pastebin.com/458629
19:45:46XavierGrforgot to remove s1 s2 but anyway.
19:46:29XavierGrand I should remove the O_CREAT too
19:46:33_FireFly_why O_CREATE ?
19:46:35_FireFly_yepp
19:47:19_FireFly_and then check the return value
19:47:38XavierGrwhat it should be?
19:47:50XavierGrah of the fd you mean
19:47:58_FireFly_what's this for: pos[*((int*)p1)] .. yeap
19:48:29XavierGrI dunno you told me so. :)
19:48:44_FireFly_:)
19:48:46XavierGrpos[x] has the seek position of the string.
19:49:13_FireFly_and what has then the p1 as value i thought the seek-pos
19:49:26XavierGrso I need to tell it: I want the value of p1,p2 into that pos[]
19:49:42XavierGr(between the brackets)
19:50:00_FireFly_if you had called qsort like this qsort(pos,10,sizeof(int))
19:50:25_FireFly_then p1 and p2 holds already the position and not the array index
19:50:56XavierGrso just put pos[p1] pos[p2]?
19:51:16_FireFly_no
19:51:27_FireFly_ *((int*)p1) and *((int*)p2)
19:51:46_FireFly_p1 and p2 holds the seek-point itself and not the array index
19:52:27_FireFly_because qsort walks through the given "array" and gives the values to the compare-fn
19:52:48_FireFly_which the fn is currently "working" on
19:53:10XavierGrso can it work out, or it is a dead end?
19:53:57_FireFly_i bet in your current version lseek will return an failure or at least the read_line fn will fill the buffers with garbage
19:54:18XavierGrarhg that way it seems that it will not sort it at all. It leaves the array index as is
19:54:50XavierGrlet me check that with a splash() (and then a reset. haha
19:54:57_FireFly_qsort sorts the values in the array not the index ;)
19:55:40_FireFly_e.g. if you have an array that looks like this: {100,120,140,160,180,200}
19:56:09XavierGrso it sorts the positions.

19:56:23XavierGrargh
19:56:38_FireFly_yepp you will get back the position of the sorted strings ;)
19:57:00_FireFly_ehm the position in the array will represent the sorted strings
19:57:08_FireFly_after qsort
19:57:51XavierGrbut it should work because we comapre strings not the positions
19:58:20_FireFly_you uses the string but you give qsort only an array of seek-positions
19:58:55_FireFly_then he will sort the seek-pos according to your compare-fn-result
19:59:19saa[b_r]iderhello everyone, I just made my first guide in the wiki http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UnicodeGuide
19:59:28XavierGrOkay lets make an example: 5, 4, 2, 3 is the list
19:59:40XavierGrthe array is 0, 1, 2, 3
19:59:58saa[b_r]idershould I create a link to it in the wiki's webhome?
20:00
20:00:32XavierGrfirst step it will comapre 5 with 4. it will swap 0 with 1. right?
20:00:44_FireFly_yepp
20:01:05_FireFly_if you return that 4 is lower then 5 :)
20:01:47XavierGrthen if the positions are swept then the list will be sorted if I read from the position array. (the list in the file will not be sorted, but I use the array)

20:02:41_FireFly_yepp if you uses the rearranged array
20:02:57XavierGrso it should work.
20:03:06XavierGrIt must be something else.
20:03:08petursaa[b_r]ider: nice introduction!
20:03:19_FireFly_no you will have to create a new file when you want also the strings be sorted in the file
20:03:30_FireFly_s/no/
20:03:38XavierGrno I don't want the list to be sorted in the file
20:03:39lostlogicpreglow: got a bug in my parser −− it can't tell the difference between two symbols which have the same offset from two different parts of RAM, because nm says same offset either way, and the .map file doesn't contain them.
20:03:53XavierGri want the array to be sorted. That's what I am after.
20:03:54_FireFly_the use simple the rearragned array
20:03:58_FireFly_then
20:04:16_FireFly_then you will get the string in sort-order
20:04:24XavierGrI do, that's why I say there is something else

20:43:20preglowCassandra: almost anything is free! :-)
20:43:28preglowCassandra: i'm working on interrupts and timer tick, currently
20:43:36preglowand am hoping to have some code worth commiting soon
20:43:44CassandraOK if I have a go at the button driver. That's probably a nice simple place to start.
20:43:46linuxstb_FireFly_: NightCat currently has a half-working build directory created with the old gcc - which is why I'm suggesting it gets deleted
20:43:54CassandraI assume there's a Linux driver available?

20:47:51linuxstbGood point.
20:48:05preglowi'll do that now
20:48:09preglowthen cvs should at least boot

20:49:10linuxstbCassandra: Are you on Linux or Windows? Installing the ipod bootloader from Windows will be a challenge.
20:49:23CassandraFortunately I have one of each.
20:49:36CassandraMy development I tend to do in Linux.
20:49:51linuxstbGood. You can install rockbox itself from either, but the bootloader requires you to use "dd" to access the raw partition.
20:49:53preglowyou'll be wanting to deal with bootloaders from there, at least
20:50:20CassandraYeah. I'm following the instructions on the wiki.

21:02:14linuxstbpetur: No, I don't there is a plan to implement lcd_blit() - do you need it?
21:02:43NightCatNicoFR on what stage?
21:02:44peturnope - just saw it wasn't implemented...
21:02:56linuxstbIt's only needed if you want to write to the LCD without using lcd_framebuffer - it's used for the video player on the Archos targets.
21:03:09NightCatJust built my RB without errors :)
21:03:13linuxstbOr maybe it's the greyscale library...
21:03:16NicoFRNightCat: it prints "CC button.c" then immediatly an error message
21:03:38NicoFRbtw the normal h300 build works fine now thanks to you :)
21:04:16NightCatCould it be an old versions bug?
21:04:29peturI see the LCD driver (hardware) supports some kind of window - may be nice to use one day
21:04:36NightCatNicoFR: I mean could you download all new versions?
21:04:36NicoFRit looks more like something is missing
21:04:52NicoFRI think I have all the latest versions
21:05:19NightCatNightCat: When I have such problems I starts from the beginning of installation :)
21:05:31linuxstbpetur: Someone sent a patch to the rockbox-dev mailing list which uses the window update functions - but no-one has tried it.
21:05:46linuxstbThe person that wrote the patch didn't have a device to test it on...
21:06:04peturI only joined the list recently
21:06:13peturIs it available somewhere?
21:06:20peturI could have a look at the code
21:06:22linuxstbYes - look at www.rockbox.org
21:06:37linuxstbProbably about 4-6 weeks ago.

21:14:24linuxstbCassandra: The same place - tools/
21:14:43CassandraI thought they were platform dependent now.
21:15:00NicoFRI don't think so
21:15:23linuxstbOnly the tools required for a particular platform are compiled. But they are still compiled in the same place.
21:16:05NightCatCause I only mark what was said in wiki and leave what was marked.
21:16:39NicoFRI did that too

21:17:53NicoFRin your cygwin bin dir, do you have a 'cc1.exe' file ?
21:18:24NightCatOnly cc.exe
21:18:42linuxstbNightCat: Anything you want to :) Changing a plugin or developing a new one is a relatively easy way to start.
21:19:02linuxstbOr look at the feature requests and see if you could do any of them.

21:26:48NightCatSome questions: 1. Have many times per day/week will be good to update the source from cvs?
21:26:56NightCatHave = How :)
21:26:59preglowjust see how often stuff happens
21:27:09preglowif something has happened in cvs, it's wise to update
21:27:23linuxstbI always update before I start work on something.
21:27:34linuxstbYou can't update too often.

21:57:59XavierGrno it will merge them
21:58:13XavierGrbut yes you can use cvs to compile your own OR latest builds.
21:58:35XavierGrIf you want to play and have a clean CVS just copy the whole CVS to another folder.

21:59:23XavierGrwhen I want to make new code I copy this folder and start making changes, then you can update in that new instance or make patches too.
21:59:41NightCatOk, I see.
21:59:42XavierGrif you want to stay uptodate and make changes
21:59:42preglowi just plain and simple use one folder

22:01:39preglowit's up to you
22:01:41NightCatThen if I want to adjust a game to fit my DAP screen where shell I go?
22:01:45XavierGrthat way if I mess it hard I can always delete the new cvs and run with a clean one.
22:01:55preglowif you keep everything in one folder, you just need to be careful when you commit

23:08:33Sanbut it you keep the window open after a full compile, it is really fast
23:08:35NightCathi
23:08:38Sanhey g333
23:09:08Sanif you keep the program open after a full compile, and then compile again, it only compiles the files that need to be compiles
23:09:11g33just installed rockbox on my h140.. and ive noticed that one of my songs (actually the first and only one ive tried) doesnt sound as good as with original firmware
