00:35:50 GrimReaper I don't know who jamiga is.
00:35:54 MrBot JAmiga (Peter_Wer@24624475.642f304.dip.t-dialin.net) was last seen parting #amigaworld 1 day, 4 hours, 2 minutes ago stating "{}".
00:36:00 nicomen woah!
00:36:26 wegster nicomen, nod, he was on yesterday, finally fixed the links on site and has a new drop supposed to look for today
00:36:45 nicomen he was a regular here before you lot came on ;D

00:39:27 wegster nicomen, nod, I've chatted with him before in here as well, but then *poof* for what, 4-5 months?
00:40:33 nicomen at least
00:40:42 nicomen unfortunately that screenshot didnt look VERY encouraing
00:40:56 nicomen but better than being dead, which I thought it was
00:41:06 nicomen wonder how much they got for the product placement though ;)
00:41:08 wegster yeah, I did too..
00:41:11 wegster lol
00:44:34 nicomen cvs on sf is 2 years old
00:47:01 wegster nicomen, for jamiga?
00:47:12 jahc whats the deal with "genesi" and "pegasos2" on that screenshot
00:47:45 wegster jahc shrug, a semi-good guess might be someone gave him a peg, and whomever supposedly had an A1 on that project disappeared? Impression is only Peter is left on project
00:48:02 jahc I'm sceptical it will ever reach a usable state
00:48:13 jahc its been years already
00:48:38 wegster jahc - hmm, but meanwhile someone asked of wookie would ever match amirc, so it's all relative, and you never know ;-)
00:49:10 wegster but yeah, I asked when he was in here and he avoided the one Q I really wanted answered- is he back to working on it regularly, or still rl issues etc/time
00:49:14 nicomen wegster: yeah, and we are still waiting
00:49:59 wegster shrug, someone (anyone recall who?) said they'd had kaffe going at one point..
00:50:27 nicomen there were a couple of java attempts
00:50:34 nicomen including H&P
00:50:39 wegster nicomen, refresh me?
00:51:02 jahc this should be a golden age for amiga.. but instead we're all coding in different directions and most of our developers are gone
00:51:23 nicomen !learn java http://ringlord.com/people/walrus/amiga/java.html
00:54:18 wegster grin: "On a 35MHz 68040, Java runs quite slow"
00:54:51   -!- * jahc remembers the days his 020 felt fast
00:55:09 jahc god my a2000 was nice
00:55:21 jahc I had that around the time I dropped out of school
00:55:35 jahc I"d get up at 7am, play an hour long game of dune 2.. ring the bbses..
00:55:46 jahc I'm never going to have a computing experience that nice I think
00:56:05 jahc computing has lost its zing with me
00:56:43 wegster nicomen, that was H&P, or ?
00:57:00 wegster oh, nm, kaffe
00:57:32 nicomen I think it lists the various attempts
00:57:42 nicomen merapi and mocca etc

01:17:21   <-- Varthall has quit (Leaving: )
01:48:23 jahc is switch .. case faster than tons of if() else if() else if() else if()'s ?
01:48:57 ssolie use whatever is more readable.. never optimize prematurely
01:49:16 jahc ok
01:49:25 jahc its just that my dcc is so slow
01:49:34 jahc i get about 60% speed than from other clients
01:49:47 jahc rephrase:
01:49:51 ssolie time for some instrumentation I bet
01:49:52 jahc I get 60% speed other clients get
01:50:07 ssolie maybe gprof can help as well
01:50:34 nicomen why do you need tests during transfer?
01:51:12 jahc I dont.. but my main input loop has a lot of else if()'s for my GUI before it gets to the WaitSelect() thiny
01:51:14 jahc thingy
01:53:29 wegster jahc - then look at ordering if you 'have to,' determine most likely conditions first, but unless the code is really called a LOT, unsure how much would expect to see a diff...gprof/profiler is really best bet
01:54:55 nicomen maybe wrap the thing in time checking stuff so that processing of dcc data happens more often than gui checking
01:55:18 nicomen "fps" of 100 for dcc and just 30 for input or similar
01:56:35 jahc hmm, ok.
02:00:55 nicomen lazy real world programmers would of course use threads and let the os take care

08:07:30 hnl_dk great :-)

09:37:22 hnl_dk Hi' Rene
09:37:37 AC hi Henning
09:37:59 hnl_dk racs: the benchmark does not look very professional :-(
09:41:00 hnl_dk racs: If I should make benchmarks for different computerarchitectures... I think I would have made some kind of benchmarkking
09:41:37 hnl_dk racs: If I should make benchmarks for different computerarchitectures... I think I would have made some kind of benchmarking destribution of Linux/BSD ... and run the test on the same kind of kernel... and the same c-library
09:42:18 hnl_dk racs: but still the port of the c-library and kernel should be able to make a difference...
09:43:32 hnl_dk racs: but this is a test, where they compare the same thing runing on MacOS X (Intel and PPC) and Windows... that is not good
09:43:44 racs hnl_dk: I know
09:45:06 hnl_dk racs: and they even using an universal binary for MacOS X... and I guess You have tried to run a benchmarking tool for AmigaOS under emulation before (I wouldn't trust it) ;-)
09:47:46 hnl_dk racs: With benchmarking under emulation I am thinking of WinUAE, where I have tried some benchmarking tools...
09:53:10 racs hnl_dk: AFAIK universal binary could run slower only on OS calls
09:54:09 hnl_dk racs: ok
10:12:48 nicomen what did afxgroup want?
10:13:00 hnl_dk didn't tell

10:49:57 zerohero i have a bunch of strings in a STRPTR text[] thing
10:50:13 zerohero then i need to get string pointers out of that into a newmenu struct
10:50:28 zerohero so in the program it does &text[value]
10:50:35 zerohero but all i get is garbage?
11:01:36 nicomen do you get the string + arbage or just garbage?
11:09:32 zerohero just garbage
11:10:12 zerohero i fixed it the hard way tho, there isn't any locale support anyway, so i just c&p'ed a little :)

13:45:12 number6 zerohero: Hi
13:45:52 OrginWork zerohero: Done.
13:46:20   -!- * OrginWork checks the aminet queue one extra time or nicomen will get cranky again.
13:47:31 nicomen I can't remember being cranky, I just wondered what was happening since I was told the uploads were moderated on os4depot but hadn't been uploaded to aminet even when he checked the upload button
13:47:42 nicomen I didn't remember you were doing that manually
13:47:54 zerohero OrginWork: thanks
13:48:14 zerohero number6: hello
13:51:06 number6 Question: I noticed this on OS4depot shows workbench 3.x. Are people uploading 3.x programs to OS4depot?: http://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/workbench/limpidclock.lha
13:51:33 zerohero number6: it has 3.x and os4 versions
13:51:35 nicomen maybe the amigaverse will have it ;D
13:52:35 OrginWork number6: Read this page: http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=disclaimer
13:53:36 zerohero wb 3.0+ should be minimum requierments for that archive
13:54:29 OrginWork nicomen: I have not heard anything about a 68k archive there. Or are you offering to host one there?
13:55:24 nicomen OrginWork: I have no idea what amigaverse is really
13:55:50 OrginWork nicomen: Then perhaps you should not make comments about it either.
13:55:58 nicomen sounds similar to Ainc's amiverse in the name though ;D
13:56:55 nicomen not that I've seen much of amiverse nor orthogonal persistancy nor the digital ocean ;D
13:56:59 nicomen (mostly fleecy talk)
13:57:37   -!- racs is now known as racs[away]
13:57:40 nicomen OrginWork: sorry, if I offended you with that comment
13:58:35 number6 zerohero: Correct. But there is no mention of OS4.x on the page under "requirements" or in the readme. Just an oversight, I'm sure.
13:59:04 zerohero number6: but it's uploaded to os4depot at least ;)
14:00:25 OrginWork Yes a site for and with os4 software should be obliged to mention in each archive that it has a native compile for os4.
14:05:27 number6 zerohero: It is "my fault" in reading this. When I see "OS3.0+" as a requirement, I think that it works under OS3.0-OS3.9. I don't automatically make the connection to OS4.x.
14:57:21 zerohero uhm, back
14:57:36 zerohero went to the store
14:57:52 zerohero number6: wierd about the readme, indeed
15:17:44   --> Orgin (~Banana@IRC-Admin.Amigaworld.Net) has joined #AmigaDev
15:19:51 number6 The readme (limpidclock) from Aminet uses two fields..."Requires" (workbench 3.0+) and "Architecture" (m68k-amigaos >= 3.0.0; ppc-amigaos >=
15:19:52 number6 4.0.0)
15:19:52 number6 .
15:29:11 zerohero maybe there can't be more than one on os4depot?
15:30:21 Orgin Why are you still discussing this? If it's on os4depot it has an os4 exe. If it doesn't use the contact form and the uploader will be contacted.
15:31:19 zerohero it does, but the readme doesn't say so
15:31:25 zerohero the aminet readme does tho
15:31:42 Orgin aminet has soemthign caleld architecture, os4depot doesn't.
15:31:55 Orgin since all files must contain an os4 binary.
15:31:57 zerohero understandable
15:32:21 Orgin There's no reason for an os4depot readme to mention that it has an os4 binary.
15:32:51 Orgin It's like demanding that all aminet readmes must have "amiga compatible" in the text somewhere.
15:33:53 Orgin Or an image archive having the text "this is an image" on all submitted images.
15:34:34 hnl_dk Orgin: should that then not just be... nothing for requirements... but both classic and 4.x on aminet
15:35:39 Orgin hnl_dk: Requirements isn't the same as architecture. It's a free text field where the uploader can state what the requirements are. If the requirements are AmigsOS3.0+ then the requirement is that you have atleast AmigaOS3.0 or later.
15:35:42 zerohero Orgin: but when only stating there'a a wb 3.0+ binary it might get confusing to some
15:36:45 Orgin zerohero: Show me where it states "Only contains a single AmigaOS 3.0+ binary".
15:37:31 zerohero Orgin: it doesn't, but you know what i mean
15:37:38 Orgin Requirements != architecture. Requirements != list of binary files in archive
15:37:57 zerohero sure
15:40:19 zerohero http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=development/cross/fdtrans-idltool-68k.lha
15:40:25 zerohero what about that archive then?
15:40:44 zerohero nothing mentioned but only 68k binaries
15:41:07 Orgin See above comments.
15:41:56 zerohero where you said "If it's on os4depot it has an os4 exe." ?
15:42:11 zerohero anyway, i can handle it
15:43:24 Orgin Among other stuff. If you are in doubt , download the file, if it doesn't contain an os4 exe use teh contact form and the uploader will be contacted. Readme files on os4depot does not need to state that they have 4.0 binaries.

19:11:56 nicomen anyone with wookiechat want to have some fun?
19:12:16 wegster nicomen, afraid to ask, how/why/what?
19:18:31 number6 nicomen: I can't afford to have any more fun with wookiechat.
19:19:28 number6 nicomen: Oh go ahead...state your case.
19:26:33 SixK lo afxgroup
19:33:00 hnl_dk nicomen: what do You want - about WookieChat?
19:33:13 nicomen test a server
19:33:36 hnl_dk not at the moment, but in about half an hour
19:33:56 hnl_dk but I have WookieBeta, and not WookieChat
19:34:09 nicomen yeah, already have people helping out, but thanks ;)
19:34:17 hnl_dk ok
19:35:26 hnl_dk Andrea where are You...
19:37:06 afxgroup here..
19:38:34 hnl_dk ok ;-)
19:38:52 hnl_dk Hi'
19:38:54 afxgroup i've resolved my problem.. :)
19:39:04 hnl_dk ok, sounds great :-)
19:39:23 hnl_dk what was Your problem? Maybe it could help others too
19:39:50 afxgroup remember that library i've asked u that implement execve and other function?
19:40:00 hnl_dk yes
19:40:45 afxgroup ok, i've prepared a file .o that include that function and other functions taken from clib2 that are missing in newlib
19:41:03 hnl_dk ok
19:42:31 hnl_dk have been thinking of doing the same, but I have no idea what functions the comming newlib version will include
19:51:31 afxgroup we will see..
19:51:45 hnl_dk afxgroup: yup
19:51:46 hnl_dk afxgroup: am at the moment beginning on the diffutils port that You wanted

21:00:40 SixK afxgroup: I had Lugdunum server programmer today, it seem's that problem don't come from share list sending timing... Now I think the problem come from the packet we send... I'll have a look at it...
21:14:52 SixK ok, seem's that packet we send is corrupted :)

21:36:59 SixK hum, ok was crashing with this file : 5 charater in it : Clonecd 4.3.1.9 Serial.txt
21:37:12 SixK in my share directory...
21:38:47 SixK ok, it crash with text files in share directory !
21:39:12 SixK maybe because it can't determine file type ?
21:39:42 SixK Dunno wether it's my code or datatype that are buggy ?
21:39:51 SixK probably my code fault ;)

22:01:05 SixK Ok so Bourriquet works with 2 files...
22:01:33 SixK Problem seem's to appear when Datatype can't determine file type !
22:02:07 SixK I noticed that Datatype usualy fail when trying to detect file type on small text files...
22:02:25 SixK sometimes Datatype give a wrong file type too ...
22:02:44 SixK any idea on how to avoid this ?

22:12:30 nicomen hi |CYNIC|
22:12:33 nicomen and jahc ;)
22:12:52 jahc hi nicomen
22:13:02 |CYNIC| Hi how's things?
22:13:27 nicomen some are sqaure and others are round and gooey
22:14:00 |CYNIC| Yeah I had that problem once:)
22:15:02 wegster nicomen, would your girlfriend approve of that description? ;-)
22:15:37 nicomen I wasn't describing my genitals if that's what you guys thought
22:15:59 wegster nicomen, naah I was thinking female genitalia but ok ;-)
22:16:41 nicomen wegster: is it normal to suddenly describe your girlfriend's special parts to strangers?
22:17:52 wegster nicomen, well depends on many things. Drunken level, how much ya like her, etc etc ;-)
22:18:00 nicomen hehe
22:25:36 |CYNIC| I'm getting back into coding on the amiga after a 12 year departure and I am wondering if my "amiga system programmers guide" by abacus books is still valid to write stuff?
22:27:42 nicomen no idea ;)
22:28:54 nicomen nowadays it seems to be forums and irc that helps ;)
22:29:11 nicomen basic c/c++ knowledge and an sdk too of course
22:32:04 |CYNIC| i was thinking more along the lines of using assembly, but then would denise, agnus, paula etc still exists in the new hardware?
22:32:58 |CYNIC| or is there anything in the os that would emulate it?
22:33:50 nicomen no, chipsets are only emulated in emulators
22:33:54 wegster |CYNIC|, no hardware emu is being done in os4..
22:33:58 nicomen not in amigaos4, nor morphos, nor aros
22:34:12 wegster heh, I'm too slow.
22:34:13 nicomen (nor amithlon afaik)
22:34:36 nicomen wegster: it's ok, sometimes it helps to get several answers anyway
22:34:50 jahc amithlon emulates CIA's doesnt it?
22:35:07 nicomen aren't those available thru os calls?
22:35:19 nicomen with timers and what not
22:35:24 jahc nicomen: I'm thinking of stuff like delitracker.. i think it hits the hardware directly for timing
22:36:01 wegster jahc nod, was thinking that, there's some emu for timers and something about paula, don't remember specifcs though..
22:36:14 nicomen hmm, not sure here, but I'd suspect it half ways hits them, like peeking into some struct that it shouldn't or similar
22:36:19 nicomen don't think it hits them directly?
22:36:41 nicomen they are devices after all no?
22:36:52 wegster probably right..didn't os4 make some changes with respect to paula though and err, a piece of software that would eumlate paula?
22:37:08 jahc theres a paula emulation
22:37:12 wegster <--- can't think of the name to save his life right now...
22:37:19 jahc cant remember what its called though. I downloaded it and I've never used it for anything.
22:37:28 jahc NallePuh thats right
22:39:06 wegster jahc thats the one
22:43:51 afxgroup re
22:45:02 jahc hi afx
22:45:11 |CYNIC| so with regards to demo coding, wouldn't it cause problems?
22:45:26 nicomen yes and no
22:45:44 nicomen most people I know already code demos on emulators and they are run on them
22:46:09 nicomen the rest use c/c++ and opengl with very small parts in assebly for optimization
22:47:28 |CYNIC| ok, thanks for the info I guess the best way to know is to just code it and see what happens. Catchya l8rs
22:47:36 nicomen hehe
22:47:43 nicomen probably
