My sympathy. 4 liters of PEG-3350 isn't pleasant, but magnesium citrate is even more unpleasant, in my experience.

My body is fucking strange. I actually had no issues, other than the "it didn't taste great" factor....
Then again, I was fasting the whole day so almost nothing came out that wasn't already liquid...

@Tsaukpaetra ah, so is that the change that made Linux more pedantic, or is that change a fix for Linux being more pedantic? Or are you just bad at titling commits?
Sorry, pet peeve of mine

You think I intentionally made Linux itself more pedantic? How funny.

No worries, this was the error:
Warnings are errors, and it was warning that a "dangling else" is dangerous.
-
@Tsaukpaetra huh. So did you remove the else, or add braces? Hope you removed it. The only reason not to would be having nested ifs with no braces, and that would be even worse.
You could have gcc in Windows with mingw, so it's not Linux being more pedantic, but gcc being more pedantic than cl. However, would need to know the vs configuration to know if the problem is it was not configured to treat warnings as errors, warning level was not set to 4 instead of the default of 3, or if it just doesn't warn on this.

@Kian said in The Official Status Thread:

Added braces. And filled it with this:
Actually, no, that was extra. It was calling out the
else
from a lower scope that apparently I interpreted incorrectly:@Kian said in The Official Status Thread:

I had only the one! And honestly I need to re-arrange it anyways I think.
@Kian said in The Official Status Thread:

True, but I'm not using gcc to compile for Windows, am I?

NFC. FWIW this is UE4's build scripts, so whatever flags that happens to be using.
I will say that building for Linux has opened up some interesting "problems" like, initializing variables out of order.

Wouldn't that be a treat? Build the Linux version for Windows under the compatibility shim.
I'm not that bored.

I'm not sure I quite follow. Why would you build the Linux version? You'd build the Windows version, just using a different toolset. The only difference is using the mingcc c++ libs instead of the vs redistributable, as far as I know.
I'm not advocating you do. You'd need to be really bored to change toolsets midway, although if you're already maintaining both builds it can save some trouble to just use one on both systems. Just curious about the comment you made.

Why not let the ants do it, since they're there already? It's a win-win.

If that works properly, using this forum could end up being a little less annoying.

Cool. Unfortunately, I don't know what voodoo Epic Games is doing to determine how it compiles for VS versus anything else, so therefore...
@Kian said in The Official Status Thread:

Ah. Um, no, lemme correct that assumption: There is no maintenance relating to what builds what: I click a bat script (or rather, Jenkins clicks it) and fix the problems it talks about. It magically determines everything, and I don't touch it...
@Kian said in The Official Status Thread:

Yeah, I've been working to get the Linux version working because it saves money in Azure to run them in Linux vs Windows. And also I'm looking to move out of Azure, and there are fewer providers that are cheaper that support Windows VMs.

We buy RHEL because it's enterprise and CentOS isn't, and we never use the support.

Of course, you still need to reboot for updates to be applied. Unlike on Windows for, for example, graphics drivers.

But... Why?
Instruct the hypervisor to send the ACPI shutdown command (i.e. Press the virtual power button) and let it turn itself off.
Unless you have the "do this when pressing the power button" set to "do nothing" this should work on every OS since NT 4.0.
If you feel absolutely necessary to use RDP, set the program to open to
shutdown -s -t 0
so at least you're not Loading a full desktop...

Is it false? If you install a graphics driver on Lunix, can you immediately start using it without restarting anything?

Only the kernel AFAIK. Everything else can just be terminated and reopened to get the benefits.
If you are insane there are some live-patching things for the kernel even, but I wouldn't want to try that myself...
