Development Logs

Community Bonding Period

  • Forked github repo and compiled working version of BRL-CAD
  • Made the pages for project plan and dev logs
  • Ideated various ways to implement undo and set constraints

Weekly update - Coding Period

  • Week - 1
    • Day 1-2
      • Working version of undo command implemented in mged which prints name of database when command is given.
      • Understood how commands use wrapper functions and function of cmd_ged_plain_wrapper()
      • Set flags -n and -h aimed to execute multiple undos and show usage respectively
      • Understood how hidden objects work, have to explore temporary file alternative to save backup objects
      • Stuck, trying to iterate over all objects in database but not finding the right function
      • Finally found way to iterate over all objects from move_all.c
      • Converted undo.c to undo.cpp so that code can be more functional
    • Day 3-4
      • Had a discussion with my mentor how to proceed further on the undo
      • Data accesible over all processes stored in _GLOBAL as name, value pairs
      • Name of the last added object and last killed object stored in _GLOBAL
      • Wrappers of make and kill modified to add the labels
      • Introduced 3 variables in undo.cpp to keep track of latest_change and then take necessary action to undo
