Firenzina 2.2.2 xTreme, a clone of Fire 2.2 xTreme

[ernest]

I have compiled with MSVC successfully for 32 bit & 64 bit (on separate 32 bit & 64 bit machines).

I've patched the fixes over as best as I could. Dmitri/Jim - could you check the git sources compile on Windows? (once I get a pull request sent)

Matthew,
I have integrated the changes and compiled for Windows yesterday night. However, I haven't updated GitHub yet, because I decided to do a little bit of housekeeping. Certain default parameter values occur in two or three locations in the code as typed-in numbers, which makes them harder to modify safely. I am now defining them formally as constants in fire.h where they belong. Just a moment...

That's probably a good idea.

We should have a long term goal of cleaning up the source code - there are a huge amount of functions for searching. Hate to sound like a C++ guru, but Stockfish manages to do something similar through use of templates.

We have:

Code: Select all

qsearch.c:
 - MyQsearch
 - MyQsearchCheck

qsearch_pv.c:
 - MyPVQsearch
 - MyPVQsearchCheck

all_node.c:
 - MyAll
 - MyAllCheck

exclude_node.c:
 - MyExclude
 - MyExcludeCheck

low_depth.c:
 - MyLowDepth
 - MyLowDepthCheck

root_analysis.c:
 - MyAnalysis

root_multipv.c:
 - MyMultiPV

root_node.c:
 - MyRootNode

search.c:
 - Search

SMP_search.c:
 - MyPVNodeSMP
 - MyAllSMP
 - MyCutSMP

pv_node.c:
 - MyPV

That's 18 functions. Waay too many in my opinion.

You can use my mirror site if main site is down for maintenance.

I am not producing any binaries myself. I just wanted to help out with
fixing Linux compiling issues & making sure it will still work on other platforms.

No Firenzina there...

No Firenzina from me. Dmitri is developer/compiler of this project.

I must have misunderstood something...
Didn't you say on
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 020#512020
"I have compiled with MSVC successfully for 32 bit & 64 bit (on separate 32 bit & 64 bit machines)"

...or maybe that compile isn't meant to be public?

That message was just to tell Dmitri everthing compiles ok.
Sorry for the confusion.

Matthew,
I have updated the GitHub Firenzina master. Please test under Linux. I have also created a Firenzina_2-3_xTreme fork there for future work, but I haven't synced it yet, so please don't take code from that location at this point.

Master compiles fine, once LinuxLargePages is commented out of fire.h.

On my system too. I haven't yet tried using Robbobases though.
