| 05:28 | < McMartin> | Wow. My last commit to UQM modified 110 files at once. |
| 05:31 | < Finerty> | you tend to make really big commits. |
| 05:31 | < McMartin> | That's the smallest possible commit that retains compilable code. |
| 05:31 | < McMartin> | And yeah, lately there's been a lot of semimechanical transforms to a huge number of files. |
| 05:32 | < McMartin> | Since I've been modifying the ship format. |
| 05:32 | < Finerty> | heh |
| 05:33 | < McMartin> | (This last commit was the one that finally makes it possible to use malloc and free to manage memory directly.) |
| 05:33 | < McMartin> | (It does not, however, actually do so, because this is a minimal commit. =P) |

| 09:36 | < Reivles> | So that brings the code in line with... the early 90s? |

| 19:14 | < McMartin> | Reiv: The late 70s, actually. |
| 19:14 | < McMartin> | The early 90s is when this came from, which is part of the problem. It was designed to run on a 286, not a PDP-11. =P |
| 19:23 | | Vornicus is now known as Vornicus-Latens |
| 19:43 | < ToxicFrog> | I thought malloc/free were 80s? |
| 19:44 | < McMartin> | Well, OK, so the actual target is C89, with a handful of C99 features that are universal. |
| 19:44 | < McMartin> | ANd it was using malloc/free before. |
| 19:44 | < McMartin> | Just under a very thick compatibility layer that was full of various varieties of spiders. |
| 19:45 | < McMartin> | And actually, for debugging purposes, I may be switching that layer back in occasionally to detect multiple-free errors, which said memory library is capable of absorbing. |
| 19:46 | < McMartin> | (And indeed, switching to direct use of malloc and free guaranteed the game would crash after one flew an Umgah.) |
| 19:52 | < ToxicFrog> | o.O |
| 19:53 | < McMartin> | The Umgah ship descriptor aliases some fields. |
| 19:53 | < McMartin> | The ship destructor blindly freed each field one at a time. |
| 19:53 | < McMartin> | Hilarity Ensues. |
| 19:55 | | * AnnoDomini isn't exactly sure what's happening, but finds it amusing enough. |
| 19:56 | < McMartin> | I have to take off. Perhaps another day I can explain the old system, why it was used, and the few things it was actually good for. |
