New Gaviota 0.86 (Linux, Android, Windows, and now Mac!)

[michiguel]

https://sites.google.com/site/gaviotach ... e/releases

New versions released, Linux, Android, Windows, and Macintosh (NEW!) in download section . There were several changes compared to 0.85.1 (last release) and it is expected to be stronger by ~60 elo, but these estimations are generally overrated. The compressed folders for download include only a small book, as always. You can find a bigger one in the download section.

Thanks to Dann Corbit for compiling the Windows versions, Aart Bik for checking the functionality of the Android version, and Julien Marcel for providing a Mac environment to obtain OSX compiles and spending the time to make sure it happened.

This version is also the product of Adam Hair's efforts in testing, who is now part of Team Gaviota.

Did you have any Mac issues? I recently started using a Macbook Air with Mountain Lion, and immediately ran into compiler issues. The supplied compiler has some 64 bit bugs buried inside. I used macports to grab the latest gcc, which compiles Crafty just fine (PGO is STILL broken for threaded code, however).

Otherwise, only thing I needed was Quartz to let xboard run and Crafty ran just fine.

I got a strange error on a function that was fine. Something like

int foo (void) { return 0;}

Which was a dummy function in a piece of debugging code. Since that was not needed I just deleted it and it compiled well, with some picky warnings.

I believe Apple is using LLVM as the compiler backend now, not the standard GCC code generator. And clang as the frontend, at least if you are using Xcode.

However it worked ok for me except for PGO. I have to run that single-threaded.
