 28 Nov 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Audit of fixed size arrays
|
In one of the experiments, we hit a long time bug in mdump - there was an array of 32 equipments and if

only showed up after mdump was switched to c++. The solution was to use std::vector instead of fixed

16 Dec 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, MIDAS on ARM
|
I added MIDAS Makefile rules for building ARM binaries: "make linuxarm" and "make cleanarm" will create
(and clean) object files, libraries and executables under "linux-arm" using the TI Sitara ARM SDK or the
Yocto SDK ARM cross-compilers (GCC 4.7.x and 4.8.x respectively). (Makefile rules for building PPC

16 Dec 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, Abolished SYNC and ASYNC defines
|
A few months ago, definitions of SYNC and ASYNC in midas.h have been changed away from "0" and "1",
and this caused problems with some event buffer management functions bm_xxx().

15 Jan 2014, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, MIDAS Web password broken
|
The MIDAS Web password function is broken - with the web password enabled, I am not prompted for a
password when editing ODB. The password still partially works - I am prompted for the web password
when starting a run. K.O.

> I through to improve this by fixing a bug in cm_msg_log() (where the messages are coming from)
The periodic messages about broken semaphore actually come from al_check(). I put some whining there, too.

15 Jan 2014, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, Fixed spurious symlinks to midas.log
|
In some experiments (i.e. DEAP), we see spurious symlinks to midas.log scattered just about everywhere. I
now traced this to an uninitialized variable in cm_msg_log() and it should be fixed now. K.O. |

18 Feb 2014, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Custom page header implemented

I am not sure what to do with the javascript snippet - I understand it should be somehow connected to /Custom/Header, but if I create the /Custom/Header
string, I cannot put this snippet
into this string using odbedit - if I try to cut&paste it into odbedit, it is truncated to the first line - nor using the mhttpd odb editor - when I cut&paste |
