improved my 'prologue/epilogue tracer' since my last post.. this one is WAY better, absolutely sick never knew until now, that i could do this..

using gcc -finstrument-functions, you can add a hook to the prologue and epilogue of EVERY function/call/inline function/macro that you actually compile.... so now i dont even need to edit the source code to include my debugging info.. this trace resulted in a 500MB file within 1 minute of running my bot, lmao.. so i added a "trace only" config option, which means, i can trace based on a per-bot basis... such as:

efnet trace on

so now, all processing specific to that bot struct, will get logged to the trace file.. ill post some of the trace later.. here's an example code to illustrate how beast -finstrument-functions is..

#include <stdio.h>


void __cyg_profile_func_enter (void *this_fn, void *call_site)
  __attribute__ ((no_instrument_function));

void __cyg_profile_func_exit (void *this_fn, void *call_site)
  __attribute__ ((no_instrument_function));

void
__cyg_profile_func_enter (void *this_fn, void *call_site)
{

  printf ("enter: addr=%p\n", this_fn);
  return;
}

void
__cyg_profile_func_exit (void *this_fn, void *call_site)
{
  printf ("exit: addr=%p\n", this_fn);
  return;
}


void
foo (void)
{

  puts ("foo called");

  return;
}

int
main (int argc, char **argv[])
{

  puts ("main called");

  foo ();
}
the __cyg name is apparently based on cygnus, who developed that code which was implemented into gcc...

thankful something like that exists, really gives you a TON of new options regarding debugging etc.

peace

got alot done today, so tired..

Your really diving in head-first into programming!
You know anything about OCR?
I have to write a OCR credit card reader for a client! Make that your next project!

nope, no experience with OCR.

"
The next step of using OCR for payments is apparently in the Credit Card payments sector. Mobile Credit Card payments are
 
becoming quite popular in recent months with hardware scanners/swipe accessories. AisleBuyer is now using the same
 
methodology as mobile banking apps do with depositing checks. By taking a picture of the customer's credit card, the app
 
uses OCR to extract the credit card number and use that to process the transaction. With no need for potentially expensive
 
hardware accessories, the barrier for entry to mobile credit card payments is drastically lowered.

 
As a tech enthusiast, I think this is an awesome idea and will make life so much easier for people that want to take
 
mobile credit card payments.
"

pretty cool.. that's what you're planning to do?

"










I have successfully used ocropus (The best open source OCR software sponsored by Google) for similar
 










tasks. http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/

 










Beyond character recognition, it can also analyze the layout of the image and locate the name.

perhaps that may help?

Predictions for the rematch?

Hopkins by UD. I feel Dawson will go for some knockouts though which will also make him vulnerable to a knockout, but idk how much power Hopkins has left.

lol..

burnart hopkins, *snooze*

he did fight good though, i mean, good for what he does.. he looked sharp, great shape, fast.. hard to imagine he's like 80 years old..

dawson seemed genuinely impressed in the post fight interview.. he gave bhop tons of props.. i think dawson thought he would hurt him.

god damn @ burnttart's head, cannon ball head.

22:25 < ng_> relax
22:25 < ng_> nope
22:25 < Southpaw> id laugh
22:25 < ng_> mithell going to ko 3rd oun
22:25 < ng_> round
22:25 < Southpaw> mitchell aint shit
22:25 < ng_> u aint shit



crazy come back.. he was so wrecked in round 1.

since i've stopped training, i havn't really been able to remember my dreams. when i was training hard, every night i'd dream up some crazy ish and remember it, very vivid stuff.

ran 1 mile today.



ircd char limit cut me off.. "i plan to attach this thing to tons of servers".

nice, lines of code & file listing for the bot at this point:

beast mode.


segregating the connector code took a bit of work, but damn does it work good.. can just let the connectors go to war with servers lmao, finally connecting and passing the fd back.. not having to worry about threading/libeventing for those connectors, is peace of mind..

tomorrow i need to get ^to working with those lists, creating temporary lists in bot_t to allow for piping to multiple channels/servers.. an example would be:

^nop(ina) \|^e\|^to(local) #darqbot    <-- that would pipe every message from any server/channel to my local ircd/channel..

^alias(add) wall \|^e\|^to efnet#jumping freenode*

then i'd go:

^a wall A MESSAGE HERE

which would then send "A MESSAGE HERE" to everything defined by ^to in the alias command.

nice..

other than that, need to start my banner generator, more comprehensive than the simple ^sysvbanner module.. this one will have tons of fonts.

peace

question: if we don't challenge our brains, are we using them at 100%?

let's say i watch jersey shore all day long, then go to a club, then come back home and do some pushups.

am i utilizing my brain at 100%?

if i know one language and am capable of learning 8-10, am i using my brain at 100%?

if i can't control my dreams, ie, lucid, am i using my brain at 100%?

if all i do is walk, am i using my body at 100% of what it is capable? so if i am capable of running 22mph, yet, i never surpass 8mph on a slow jog, what percent of my body "am i using"?

if all i do is eat 1 cheese doodle, yet im still hungry, have i used my intestines at 100% of their capability? perhaps, 100% of being empty?

then i think you are correct lbss, if we are only using ~10% of our brains, then we can say we are not using 90% of our brains, which still classifies itself as "using".

so, if you add the 10% use of my brain, to the 90% NOT use of my brain, then I am actually using 100% of my brain.

lbss good point ;f






ok so gizmo got into a crazy fight at the dog park today.. lasted all of 2 seconds before i broke it up.. he got bit on his eyelid, tore a little piece out of it.. so lucky he didnt get fanged in his eye..




as for coding news:

added ^sysvbanner to the bot, and ^char which can invert chars/color codes/etc.. makes for some sick ascii'ing on irc.

then i added a 'fd pass' compoent to my bot..

- the parent now spawns forked children "connectors", which loop trying to connect to a server, sleep for a little upon failure, or if they succeed, the child contacts the parent over a unix domain socket and sends the connected file descriptor as control data, in a sendmsg() call

- then the parent recvmsg's() that descriptor, and re-links it into the bot_t structure, adding the fd/event to libevent dispatch loop, and all is good.


i spent 2 hours debugging something that turned out to be so damn simple... totally retarded... this happened before.. i spent time modifying the core code of the bot, then kept running it, and it kept crashing.. but that's because i forgot to recompile the modules, derp.. when i modify the main bot_t struct, the modules depend on it, and if they are already compiled, then their structures are off, missing or having too many bytes etc.. so pointers get mangled and it crashed.





in other news, my neighbor actually shot himself, suicide.. it's crazy, trying to think of why he would do that when from all accounts he seemed like a decently happy guy.. just got married ~1 year ago.. had kids, and step kids he raised.. was big into boxing,we always talked boxing.. had dogs, he'd walk all the time..

so then somehow he goes from a seemingly decent life, to shooting himself in the house while his wife and her brother were there.. mind-cannot-comprehend..

perhaps i could comprehend it if i used more than 10% of my brain.

peace
