GSoC 2015 development logs[edit]

Community Bonding Period[edit]

I have began this period by going through and adhering to the BRL-CAD Summer of Code/Checklist

- Working on replacing the FreeWRL dependency on automake to cmake and generate a shared library from src/lib of the FreeWRL source code.

Coding Period[edit]

25 MAY 2015[edit]

- Resolving linking issues with shared library generated from src/lib of the FreeWRL source code.

- Resolving FreeWRL X3D parser dependence on libxml(may need to set compilation as optional in order not to break the BRLCAD build process)


26 MAY 2015[edit]

- Trying to finalize work on shared library generation from src/lib of the FreeWRL source code.

- Still working on resolving issues with shared library


27 MAY 2015[edit]

- Finished generating shared library

- Studying the FreeWRL thread implementation

28 MAY 2015[edit]

- Still studying the FreeWRL thread implementation to resolve issues

- Testing functionality of the shared library

- I was not able to do much work today due to lack of electricity through out the day

Time put in 3 hours

29 MAY 2015[edit]

- Doing more research on the FreeWRL thread implementation to resolve issues

- Futher testing functionality of the shared library (writing code to parse input file)

- As a GDGBuea organiser, I spend most of the day hosting the Google I/O with other organisers for the GDGBuea community

- I would makeup for lost time today and yesterday by putting in more hours the following days

Time put in 3 hours


30 MAY 2015[edit]

- Made progress with debugging and just realised that issues (SIGSEGV) are as a result of improper casting with structures and thus poor memory allocation.

- I spent alot of time today working on the issues but have not yet full resolved it.

Time put in 6 hours


31 MAY 2015[edit]

- Resolved issues(SIGSEGV) which were as a result of improper memory access.

- Futher exploited FreeWRL source code to learn more on how to implement the parser

1 JUNE 2015[edit]

12 JUNE 2015[edit]

- I did not do any coding today as I have been trying to figure out an efficient way to implement the conversion routines and also extract the nodes and their properties from the root node


13 JUNE 2015[edit]

- Read the HACKING BRL-CAD again paying attention to note on global variables

- Continued work on parse_scene() taking into consideration what I learn from reading the HACKING guide.

14 JUNE 2015[edit]

- Started work on the do_color() function which is called by parse_scene() to assign color values to shape nodes


15 JUNE 2015[edit]

- Working on convert() function in FREEWRLwrapper


16 JUNE 2015[edit]
