True, but I'll back him up on the not-resizing-properly thing.

You could almost certainly write a small launcher with NSIS and compile everything together in an NSIS archive. The launcher would extract things to a temp directory, run, then clean up. It might be more trouble than it's worth, though.

Actually, you need full control of time. You will need a Time Machine (preferably one that can fly), a Clone of yourself, and an Egg.

It took me a minute to get that reference. Heh.

Noxious Ninja

Except I detest relying on the effects of post-increment/decrement.

Well, I'm building my modified ZSNES with whatever version of g++ zget downloads, and assuming it uses cdecl seems to be working, with at least 6 parameters. I haven't tried it on Linux, though, and I don't have FreeBSD. I just realized that Mac OS X could be a problem, with it's 16-byte stack align...

Noxious Ninja

Giant stack of tapes + thermite would have been better.

Noxious Ninja

Is cdecl the same across all those compilers you mentioned? What I was thinking of doing is just having a set of global ints named param1, param2, etc. Stuff the args in there, then make the first lines of the C function something like unsigned char *vidBuffer = (unsigned char *)param1; int x1 = par...

Noxious Ninja

If that's really a char*, then I'm sure you agree this is preferable: ;) memset(dest, color, width); Ooh, you're right. I got too caught up in being clever to notice that. D'oh. I'm passing it in as int and then casting to char because the assembly code apparently kept the color in al, and I didn't...

Bungie - Oni (Bonus CD) (2001) - 06 - Loss [0:30] (MP3 @ 161kbps VBR)

Noxious Ninja

Good point. The only reason I do that is because, if the compiler doesn't recognize it's only a counter and optimize it, it's slightly faster than a count-upward loop, mainly because the x86 doesn't have many registers. Same thing with pre- vs. post-increment - unless the compiler recognizes it's on...

Noxious Ninja

Some people would use

Code: Select all

for( ctr = width; ctr > 0; --ctr ) *dest++ = color;

but I find it too easy to overlook what is actually happening here. I try to avoid all cases which would require use of post-increment or decrement, and split them into multiple lines. More code, but more clear.

Noxious Ninja

One more thing. I am trying to use a macro like so: EXTSYM ccall_retval ; ccall FuncName, return reg32, param1, param2, param 3... ;C: Last-1st, stack cleanup ; puts return value in specified 32-bit register and leaves all other registers unmodified %macro ccall 2-* %define _f %1 %define _r %2 %assi...

Noxious Ninja

I think my first form is more quickly comprehensible, but they're not too far apart to someone who knows C.

Your form is legal, but "dest = dest + 1" is unneeded verbosity.

BTW, I now have 21% of guitools.inc by line count converted to C.

Noxious Ninja

Alright. I'm starting on some of the easier stuff. I'll post some patches in a bit.

As a question of style, which would you like better?

Code: Select all

for( ctr = width; ctr > 0; --ctr ) {
    *dest = color;
    ++dest;
}

or

Code: Select all

for( ctr = width; ctr > 0; --ctr, ++dest ) *dest = color;

Noxious Ninja

I guess I missed a lot while I've been gone. I remember an announcement a long time ago, although that was for a Qt or GTK GUI. So is this effort actually underway? As in, past the planning stage? I still might do at least some of it for personal edification. Working with this code is not terribly f...

So I'm in an Intro to Computer Architecture class right now, and we happen to be studying x86 assembly. So now I have some skills, and I want something more than our simple assignments to work on, and I'm back here, as Nach or whoever predicted I would be eventually. If nobody's started, I'll dive i...

Also, if people can run the MMX Difference code on their own computers on as many different systems as possible, I'd appreciate it. I only have an Athlon 64 to test on, and that can be heavilly lopsided for testing purposes. Especially I'd appreciate results from earlier CPU's. What are you compili...

The X-Box controller is USB with a different connector. Therefore, all you have to do is swap out the connector, and you get a USB HID-compliant input device.

For an SNES controller -> USB mod, you would have to build an adapter with a microcontroller in it to adapt the signals.

If it's well-designed, having the source available will not affect server integrity at all.

Something that has always ticked me off: the end user does not have to agree to the GPL to be allowed to use the program. The GPL only comes into play when one wishes to distribute the program.
