DocScrutinizer05 | ((very black)) indeed, what the heck is that? | 03:48 |
wpwrak | (linus) nice. i find that "networking style" particularly offensive, too. good to see that it gets some flaming :) | 04:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we just discussed nested comments in another channel | 04:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | interesting - it seems gcc supports nesting nowadays, while we agreed that originally neither Kernigan nor Ritchie had that idea | 04:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | which makes me wonder how that goes along with compatibility for old source code | 04:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, probably a /* comment /* like /* this*/ wouldn't compile at all in new gcc then, so at least it doesn't go unnoticed | 04:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | if only a single compiler error "comment not closed" gets thrown | 04:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | [2016-07-15 Fri 05:15:09] <furrywolf> actually, googling suggests gcc handles nested comments by default. | 04:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | [2016-07-15 Fri 05:15:20] <furrywolf> since there's a -W option to bitch at you for using them. | 04:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | <DocScrutinizer05> I recall having a editor macro for that which did convert all /\(_*\)\* to /\1_\* and same for */, between a block that gets /* commented out */. And inverse for deleting a /*, until next */ which would also get deleted. "so /* this */ comment" would become: "/* so /_* this *_/ comment */' | 04:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | [2016-07-15 Fri 05:33:57] <DocScrutinizer05> I wonder what Linus would utter, seeing this ;-P | 04:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | most recent KiCAD in a VM, built yesterday (the VM also is a complete build environment): vagrant init Neo900-KiCAD http://neo900.files.dev-1.org/vagrantboxes/kicad_1920x1080__root-devuan_compile-kicad/kicad-xfce-devuan.box; vagrant up; #login compile, kicad (ETA for upload: now+2h) | 04:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | vagrant install: https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/1.8.4/ https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/ | 04:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | root login: root, devuan | 04:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there's a shared dir ./kicad | 04:57 |
