ToDoEdit

CoreEdit

  • Add swisdom (single prec.) to /libinterp/dldfcn/fftw.cc documentation
  • linguist-qt4: octave-src/libgui$ "lupdate -recursive -no-obsolete -locations relative src qterminal graphics -ts languages/*ts"

GUIEdit

When opening and closing the GUI HDF5: infinite loop closing library [1]

No icons in qt4 GUI?

 gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
 gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true

ForgeEdit

signal or fltk plotting?Edit

 pkg load signal
 t=0:1/4e4:12;
 y=chirp(t,100,5,18000);
 graphics_toolkit fltk
 specgram(y)

-> r300: Implementation error: Render targets are too big in r300_set_framebuffer_state, refusing to bind framebuffer state!

videoEdit

fix build, see http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/quot-package-video-is-empty-quot-td4656346.html

signalEdit

  • findpeaks.m, print error if data is not a column vector (error: vertical dimensions mismatch (1x10000 vs 1x1)

SnippetsEdit

chain matrix multiplicationEdit

a=[1 2; 3 4];
b=[4 2; 8 1];
c=[2 3; 1 -1];
m=cat(3,a,b,c);
s=cell(3,1);
s{1}=a;s{2}=b; s{3}=c;
a*b*c
s{1}*s{2}*s{3}
mtimes(num2cell(m,[1,2]){:})
mtimes(s{:})

commands from which I regularly doesn't find the nameEdit

  • octave_config_info ()
  • merge (C's (a)? b: c); syntax

libgraphicsmagick++3 quantum-depthEdit

in debian wheezy

sudo apt-get build-dep libgraphicsmagick++3
apt-get source libgraphicsmagick++3

edit debian/rules

--with-quantum-depth=16 \

works without problems

--with-quantum-depth=32 \

shows one error:

Tracking octave bugs with hg bisectEdit

I had a strange problem when loading gzip compressed ascii files in octave. It failed dependent on the integer values. After some stripping I made a minimalistic test script (min_testcase_fails.m) which always fails in a current dev (88616c872933):

fn="file2.txt"
fid = fopen (fn,"w");
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",639, 25, 160, 978160);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",687, 25, 171, 978160);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",663, 31, 173, 978161);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",663, 15, 154, 978161);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",655, 21, 151, 978161);
fclose(fid);
## gzip it!
fn_gz=strcat(fn, ".gz");
cmd=cstrcat("gzip ",fn," -c > ",fn_gz)
system(cmd);
c=load("file2.txt.gz")  #this fails in newer versions

When run:

$ octave -q min_testcase_fails.m 
fn = file2.txt
cmd = gzip file2.txt -c > file2.txt.gz
error: value on right hand side of assignment is undefined
error: called from:
error:   /home/andy/src/octave-bugs/min_testcase_fails.m at line 17, column 2

If line 4 with "663, 15, 154, 978161" is changed to ""663, 16, 154, 978161", load works as expected. Strange, isn't it? I also had an old build (dev ab1c6e6d1be6 from Sun Oct 28 21:48:02 2012) and "load" worked in this version.

Running bisectEdit

I decided to make a fresh clone in a separate directory:

cd ~/src
hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave octave-src
cd octave-src
hg bisect -b 88616c872933
hg bisect -g ab1c6e6d1be6

After this hg bisect uses a binary search strategy to test revisions:

Teste Änderungssatz 16428:f016a5342e19 (1380 Änderungssätze verbleiben, ~10 Tests)

So after checkout I had to compile the source tree (used ccache in the hope of faster checkout-compile cycles).

./bootstrap
cd .. && mkdir octave-build && cd octave-build
export CXX="ccache g++"
export CC="ccache gcc"
../octave-src/configure
make -j 7

After compilation I tried my test min_testcase_fails.m:

~/src/octave-build$ ./run-octave -q ../min_testcase_fails.m
fn = file2.txt
cmd = gzip file2.txt -c > file2.txt.gz
c =

      639       25      160   978160
      687       25      171   978160
      663       31      173   978161
      663       15      154   978161
      655       21      151   978161

So this is apparently a good one. Tell it hg bisect!

cd ../octave-src && hg bisect -g

After this you try make again, bootstrap && configure if make fails, rerun the testscript, tell hg bisect if it's good or bad and repeat this until the revision which introduced the problem is found. Or you can use "hg bisect --command", see next point.

hg bisect --commandEdit

I used Jordis bisect script for bug 32818 and modified it to my needs:

~/src$ cat bisect-loadsave.sh 
#!/bin/bash
SRCDIR=~/src/octave-src
BUILDDIR=~/src/octave-build
cd $SRCDIR
## Try a simple build first
if  ! make -j 7
then
   cd $SRCDIR
   ./bootstrap || exit 127
   #rm -rf $BUILDDIR
   #mkdir $BUILDDIR
   cd $BUILDDIR
   $SRCDIR/configure || exit 127
   make -j 7|| exit 127
fi
$BUILDDIR/run-octave -q ~/src/min_testcase_fails.m || exit 1
exit 0

After making it executable, let hg bisect use it

~/src/octave-src$ hg bisect -c ../bisect-loadsave.sh

Now sit back and relax, this could last some hours... Finally:

Änderungssatz 16554:03a28487fa9d: good

bisect bug 42612Edit

For bug #42612 I created a minimal script which fails: clf_fails_42612.m

subplot (2,1,1);
plot (1:5);
legend ('hello', 'location', 'northwestoutside');
clf

And the script which runs it, bisect_clf.sh:

#!/bin/bash
SRCDIR=~/src/octave-untouched-src
BUILDDIR=~/src/bisect_build
cd $BUILDDIR
## Try a simple build first
if  ! make -j 6
then
  # make failed, run bootstrap and configure
  cd $SRCDIR
  ./bootstrap || exit 127
  cd $BUILDDIR
  $SRCDIR/configure FFLAGS=-g CFLAGS=-g CXXFLAGS=-g --enable-bounds-check --disable-java --disable-gui --disable-docs|| exit 127
  make -j 7|| exit 127
fi
cd $SRCDIR
$BUILDDIR/run-octave -q clf_fails_42612.m
ret=$?
echo $(hg id) $ret >> clf_fails_42612.log
exit $ret

show bisect historyEdit

hg log -r "bisect(good) or bisect(bad)" --template "{rev}:{node|short} {bisect}\n"
