09:53.42shardulchello everybody, I'm doing the dead code elimination task
09:54.04shardulcwhat is a good place to look for 'dead' function *definitions*?
09:54.24shardulc('look' as in my script will look)
09:55.04Notify02GCI:gjeet * 5910608918609920 : Nice work -  I really liked how you wrote BRL-CAD.  Can you tell how you made that thing. Also How much time it took to make this thing ?
10:07.32StragusI'm not involved in GCI but I think the definition of dead-code used includes code duplication
10:09.03Stragusi.e. Find similar/identical codes that can be merged and replaced by a function call or so
10:11.01shardulcI think there's a separate task for that
10:12.20StragusOh. That's possible too
10:16.28shardulcbut where do you think I'll find dead code?
10:16.46shardulcwhere would the dead functions be defined, to be precise?
10:18.20StragusCan your script locate functions that are defined but never called anywhere? There are some of these
10:20.01shardulcyes
10:20.20shardulcusing a little regex; is that fine?
10:20.28StragusSure, whatever works

10:23.29shardulcso where are they?
10:23.54shardulclike, it would take too much time to go through the whole src/ dir
10:24.31StragusYou could start by src/libbn, I'm sure there's unused code in there somewhere
10:25.27shardulcthe task description page http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5338260117127168 tells me to exclude src/lib* directories, I think

10:25.43shardulcor maybe it's just for the 'manual testing' section
10:26.03StragusAh right, makes sense too. It's handy to keep lib* code around even if unused
10:28.07StragusIf you can stick around, the people who can help most should wake up in about 2 hours. My knowledge of the BRL-CAD source is limited, I have worked on fairly independent chunks of code.
10:31.49shardulcall right

10:46.37``Erikthe lib dirs have funcs that may not be used in BRL-CAD itself, but might be used by third party products... so they'd need the full deprecation cycle to get rid of

16:27.07melfoFirst time using irc, sorry in advance for posting wrongly!
16:27.09melfoI am trying to  to extrude from a PNG but have a problem doing it. I converted a png to a bitmap by using: 'exec \[ file join \[ bu_brlcad_root bin \] pix-bw \] hello.png \> hello.bw' on the mged prompt. No errors here. Next, I extruded the bitmap by typing this command into the mged> prompt: 'in gcirocks.ebm ebm hello.bw 512 512 64' and I get this error:
16:27.10melfo'
16:27.12melfort_ebm_import4() file 'hello.bw' is too short 332 < 32768
16:27.13melfort_db_external5_to_internal5(gcirocks.ebm):  import failure
16:27.15melfodb_recurse() rt_db_get_internal(gcirocks.ebm) FAIL
16:27.16melfo'
16:27.18melfoPlaying around with the width, height and extrusion. I managed to get some red lines to appear. So I think the problem should be the conversion between png to bw. Can someone point out to me what I'm doing wrongly?
