08:38:16sideralYep, the nested type is used for variable (pointer) declarations elsewhere
08:40:03sideralThere's not much point in arguing, though. If it's too confusing for the maintainer of that code, he or she undoubtedly will change it back; if not, then fine. There wasn't much point in changing it to a nested declaration in the first place, though.
08:41:54kugelchange it back if you want to, I can't follow that it's confusing. I rather find it makes it clear that both structs are really tied together, so less confusing

09:01:02JdGordonnested structs should be limited to anon-structs only
09:01:11JdGordondont let outside code use the type
09:01:40amiconnAnon structs aren't official C though
09:02:29sideralamiconn: struct X { struct { int a; } b; }; is perfectly legal C AFAIK
09:03:14sideralamiconn: as is struct { int a} b;
09:03:23sideralstruct { int a; } b;
09:05:27sideralamiconn: this has always been true. Are you referring to anonymous unions, perhaps?
09:06:17amiconnNo, I'm referring to this: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.0/gcc/Unnamed-Fields.html
09:06:34amiconnIt seems that it's allowed according to C1X now.
09:07:27B4gderc1x is not fixed yet though is it?
09:07:28amiconnThe same part of the docs for gcc 4.5 does not mention C1X
09:07:53sideralYeah, that's what I meant. It was introduced as anonymous unions in C++ in the 90s, AFAIR, and later was generalized to struct and to plain C
09:08:12sideralThat's not what JdGordon meant though
09:17:38sideralConfusingly, the interwebs seem to call unnamed structs (structs with no name tag) "anonymous structs" as well
09:17:51sideralbut these are two different things
09:18:57sideralSo I guess JdGordon should have declared only nested _unnamed_ structs legal :)

15:08:37Tornerockboxdev.sh already throws the source dir away anyway
15:08:49Torneit refuses to retry from an existing unpacked dir :)
15:09:16Tornethis issue has been known in binutils since at least 2007 :/
15:09:22Torneit's a makefile bug, really
15:09:34Torneit should be smart enough to copy the prebuild .info files across to the build dir
15:09:41Torneif they are newer than the .texi

15:12:43*Torne has a look.
15:15:29Tornethis is some hilarious automake crap
15:15:36*Torne is slightly afraid.

16:31:36Zagorcorrection: it should not be required :-)
16:31:37Torneit's only required because the automake generated makefiles are retarded

21:04:13JessicaRNHola folks, hey, in the newest build, is there a limit on the number of files any single directory can hold? I'm using an archos jukebox recorder w/ 120gb disk formatted to fat32
21:05:08JessicaRNI'm seeing a "buffer full" message and the play window seems to only load 1000 files.
21:05:10B4gderJessicaRN: yes, and there's a setting that allows you to change that limit
21:05:25JessicaRNb4, will that require a rebuild?
21:05:35B4gderno, but a reboot
21:05:47JessicaRNsweet. what's the downside?
21:06:00B4gdera little less RAM left to buffer audio with
21:06:01gevaertsRAM usage, i.e. battery time
21:06:48JessicaRNbattery time? hows that? it seems that once you load the buffer it becomes static.
21:07:09Tornethe audio buffer
21:07:31Torneincreasing the file limit increases the size of the directory buffer, which means the audio buffer has to get smaller; there is only a fixed amount of ram
21:07:39JessicaRNi'm not too worried about the audio buffer. I've got it set to 0 now and i get no skips.
21:07:56TorneNo, you don't
21:07:57gevaertsThat's the anti-skip buffer, not the audio buffer
21:08:02JessicaRNahhh
21:08:03JessicaRNok
21:08:06TorneThe audio buffer is always the entirety of free ram
21:08:08JessicaRNgotcha
21:08:11Torneit contains the tracks that are upcoming
21:08:16JessicaRNcool
21:08:22Torneso, the smaller it is the more often it needs to spin up the hard drive and load more mp3s
21:08:28JessicaRNok. i'll play with it.
21:08:32Tornethus your battery life will be slightly smaller
21:08:38JessicaRNAHHH. thus the battery time impact
21:08:45JessicaRNcool
21:08:51Tornegenerally i would suggest that having thousands of files in one directory is not a very good arrangement
21:09:00Tornebut the setting is there, you can change it :)
21:09:36JessicaRNI have everything else in artist>album sort. this directory (about4k songs) is the one-hits
21:10:21JessicaRNanyone know how much ram is in an archos juke/recorder? v1
21:10:32B4gdera massive 2MB
21:10:40B4gdertotal
21:10:51B4gderand that's used for code, data and buffering etc
21:11:27JessicaRNwow. I guess, now we're playing with power....
21:11:35JessicaRN*grins*
21:11:56JessicaRNhmmm... any good workarounds?
21:12:27JessicaRNI really don't wanna break up the directory. I love the 4k shuffle.
21:12:56JessicaRNor, should I say, I could care less about breaking up the directory if I can keep my 4k shuffle
21:13:01gevaertsYou can still shuffle if it has subdirectories
21:13:21JessicaRNhow does that hit the buffer?
21:14:07gevaertsI don't think it does
21:14:53JessicaRNand it will still shuffle across all the subs?
21:15:15Torneyes
21:15:23JessicaRNsweet!
21:15:28JessicaRNYou all are rockstars
21:15:29Tornethe maximum playlist size is seperate from the maximum directory size
21:15:47JessicaRNI can deal with that
21:16:32JessicaRNfor a decade old piece of equipment, this juke/recorder is still a very nice device. I'll cry when it finally dies.

22:45:01Tornewhy do you need to modify rockbox?

22:47:33hobby16@Torne, I've decided to modify rockbox because it's not easy at all to change the Volume-ID bit on a Windows host (the usb HD must be unmounted before and on Windows 7 or XP, it's impossible !!). At least that's what I end up concluding, do you think it's correct ?
22:48:03Torneno, it is quite easy
22:48:47Torneget a proper disk editor
22:48:54Torneit should take all of ten seconds
22:49:28hobby16@Torne I must use a wrong sofware then. I've used HxD as a diskeditor (and many others) and asked the question yesterday. Maybe can you tell me what to use ?
22:49:30Tornewindows doesn't prevent you modifying a mounted disk, which is j pretty funny but hey.
22:49:34Torneuseful for you :)
22:49:43gevaertskugel: also get a data abort on first boot with a current build on ipod video
22:49:44Tornejust don't actually look at or access the disk
22:50:00Tornepatch the directory and as soon as the write is done yank the disk out
22:52:06hobby16@Torne ok, the guy there misled me then, saying "Access Denied under Windows 7 on flash drive" is the norm, please advice : http://forum.mh-nexus.de/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=438
22:53:08Tornealso you *can* unmount devices on windows
22:53:18Tornejust go into the disk admin thingy and remove all the mount points for the partition
22:54:56hobby16@Torne : ok, I'll try to unmount. Is HxD the right disk editor to use ? (I've found the byte & bit to change, but was blocked by the readonly problem)
22:55:18Tornei have no idea
22:55:28Tornei don't know any random piece of software you happen to have :)
22:55:42Torneyou may be opening the wrong device, though
22:55:47Torneyou want to be editing the physical disk volume
22:56:03sideralhobby16: You might also consider developing under Linux, where everything is shiny and bright ;)
22:56:22Torneheh, this machine doesn't have a backslash key
22:57:08hobby16@torne, that's what I did, with rockbox, then with a 120M usb key, but the readonly problem is permanent
22:57:15Torneyou wnat to edit //?/Device/Harddisk<somenumber>/Partition1
22:57:26Torneexcept with backslashes
22:57:32Tornenot the DOS style drive letter
22:58:04Tornethe drive letter is a mount point, not a physical disk; the semantics of accessing it are different (for poorly explained reasons)
22:58:18Tornea sensible disk editor would offer either
22:59:32hobby16torne : "a sensible disk editor". Is there any on windows you know of ?
23:00
23:00:09Tornei am fond of runtime software's diskexplorer
23:00:13Tornebut it costs money
23:00:24gevaertskugel: it crashes in parse_line()
23:00:30gevaertsWhich is in tagtree.c
23:01:01hobby16@sideral, I'm already on Ubuntu with Virtualbox (Win7 host) but (my) Ubuntu does NOT emulate usb, grrr (anything shiny, hmmm)
23:02:58hobby16anyway, I've tried to change the firmware to issue a command "change this f..g volume-id bit", It seemed much more predictable. Can anybody still help with a suggestion on where to do it ?
23:09:30Tornevirtualbox *does8 emulate USB
23:09:37Torneyou just need to actually tell it to hook up the device to the VM

23:12:31sideralhobby16: modifying Rockbox isn't going to be easy. I'd add a low-level function that does this near (and similar to) the FAT mkdir function, then call this new function from within the unmount code

23:13:58hobby16"modifying rockbox to do something you need to do exactly once seems crazy :)". NO, it's would be a customer application and it will be used on many rockbox target (I hope so)
23:13:59gevaertsTorne: no point I guess. My mini2 also data aborts

23:16:33hobby16@sideral, thank you for your point, that's what I thought, but was not sure. There is a fat_rename() in fat.c, can it be used to rename a dir (normally, it's for files)

23:20:44pamauryhobby16: a dir is a file
23:20:54pamaury(on fat)
23:22:19hobby16@pamaury, great news, so I'll try to use fat_rename() to change the volume_id bit of a dir.
23:22:34hobby16?
23:22:58pamauryI don't see the relationship between renaming and changing a flag bit
23:23:59hobby16well, in fact I just want to change a flag bit, but I don't know where and thought fat_rename() is the function to call. Can you confirm ?
23:26:18sideralhobby16: I merely suggested to use fat_rename as inspiration for how to find a directory entry's flags and how to read and write them
23:26:37pamauryyou can probably do it in fat_rename but given that all the info needed to identify the main entry is in te fat structure, you can write your own function for this (and inspire from rename or open to see how it works)
23:26:45hobby16I have /mydir on rockbox, I want to set the ATTR_VOLUME_ID bit (0x8). Maybe easy cake but not for me.
23:26:49sideralI guess there's no way the current rename function will do the work for you
23:27:48hobby16@sideral, no no, fat_rename is proposed by me because it's (for me) the most likely candidate. But I don't know how to go on, hence asking advices here
23:27:49*gevaerts decides to try the good old splashf() debugging
23:28:38pamauryhobby16: wait a second, I'll try to write something quickly to give you a hint

23:42:34sideralgevaerts: can you identify the checkin that added the access caused the crash in tagtree.c?
23:42:47gevaertssideral: no idea. I know the line though
23:42:56sideralgimme
23:43:18gevaertssideral: get_format_str() gets given an unaligned pointer
23:43:51gevaertsAt first sight that pointer is in the correct range, so it's probably not just some uninitialised memory
23:46:05sideralgevaerts: Interesting. I'm asking because I'm observing a different tagtree failure while testing Slasheri's latest fix: My tagnavi_custom.config apparently is not read
23:47:00sideralThis is a build without kugel's changes, though. I cherry-picked Slasheri's fix on top of a build based on the 3.9 branch
