Gaviota Tablebases Probing Code (v0.1.2) UPDATE

[michiguel]

Small maintenance update

* Name of some source files changed for better organization (they are gtb-*.c and gtb-*.h now)
* Number of paths are only limited by memory (before it was accepted only up to 5, the rest were rejected silently)
* Number of files that could be open at the same time has been increased. It is up to FOPEN_MAX in Windows, and more on Linux.
* Some variables that started with double underscored were renamed to avoid problems with certain compilers
* License.txt separated from readme.txt

Thanks Aaron for your feedback.

Woohoo.

Very minor hint ...

Code: Select all

% rm *~

(i.e., remove all backup copies with a ~ at the end of the file name) will make your source archive slightly smaller and - more important - look a bit cleaner

I thought I did not have that. "git archive" spits a compressed folder with the sources that are in the project. I looks like I must have "added" the files at the beginning when I had the *~ floating around. If that is the case, git thinks that *~ belong to the project and includes them. Sorry and thanks, I will fix it.

PS: There are lots of things that need to cleaned in the source files...

If you're keeping this all in git, would you be willing to make a public repository available? I integrated gtb into Daydreamer, but if there was a public repository I could manage updates (like this one) a lot better, and also submit patches easily.

I am all open to suggestions. Where do I put it?

I've used github.com for hosting public copies of my code, and I'm quite happy with it.

Hi Miguel,

how about building a "gtb.dll" (under windows) or "libgtb.so" (under linux)?

This would reduce the size of executables and allows for future optimizations in TB access without recompiling. Just a thought.

I already put together a Makefile that generates a gtb.a to avoid recompiling the gtb library excessively, so this wouldn't be hard to provide if there's demand. It's kind of a pain to make your program find and load the shared library dynamically compared to just compiling it in, though.

I just took a look at it, and it seems fine. So GitHub will be.
