@PleegWat It has a function profiler that does exact instruction counting.
I keep forgetting about valgrind tools that aren't memgrind. It's no good for any performance testing cause it's intrusive but it got me what I needed.
An errant
memset(dst, 0, sz)
and a component registration that re-found the end of a linked list each time. Problem solved.

Cosmic ray RAM screwery perchance?
Possible (though a very rare event)… if the system isn't using ECC RAM. Which it might not be, especially for the fast caches. If that's what happened, rebooting is the only option since the system's been effectively poisoned. I think it's cool how many of these events must be happening worldwide, almost as if we were running the world's largest physics experiment.
-
@dkf You'd imagine error-correcting caches would be quite simple, since there would be no need to actually correct the errors - just fetch from main memory instead.
-
You still need to detect the errors, which requires extra silicon. Multiply that by the size of the cache, and the total amount isn't negligible, which means it costs money.

Also, it takes more time (especially when the need to error correct occurs). That can throw things out.

You probably know they've always had that in Eclipse. I forgive them for making me do an extra click or two; but I don't think I've ever thought, "Boy, I'm glad Eclipse prevented me from removing that conditional breakpoint!"

@jinpa have you ever had breakpoints with multiline conditions that you keep around for many months because it's very useful for many different features you've been working on?
I realize I might be TRWTF here, but look, my setup works for me.

Man, you're slow

@Gąska Have you considered putting your breakpoint conditions in source control?

It's a tense issue.

I don't want code generator to pause for user confirmation in integration tests.

No, I haven't. I usually seem to end up working with timing-critical code running in very large numbers of processes on different computers…

What about just eating sugar? Cut out the middle man.

You shouldn't eat those cheap Chinese counterfeits. I mean, just look at them -- they're not even cubic!

At work, they're experimenting with "Chat Ops" (basically dev ops automation via a chat bot).
In a day I was able to write an adapter to connect error_bot to their chat server (which is a Discord/Slack clone of sorts).
Which made it look really impressive, since they don't know I had a huge head start.
-
One of these days I'll resurrect my bot....

@Tsaukpaetra Did you write it?

I wrote the glue and plugin system, yeah.
Just not the IRC connection and expression parser.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

@error said in The Official Status Thread:

I haven't uploaded mine to public repo. Maybe I'll do that first...
Though be warned: The primary project is in VB for some reason and I just rolled with it.
Actually, why warn? It's not up yet.
I must be tired....

You really can't simply iterate over enums in C#? I could swear I've done it before.
foreach (var device in Enum.GetValues(typeof(DeviceIdents)))
That's just nasty.
Edit2:
Why isn't my thing done!
We agreed that we'd do thing2 for you first instead, thing is being done now
...
I don't understand what the delay is with thing!

Status: It lives! Bwahahaha! It lives! Now I've just got to emergency-fix everything else so the integration tests don't keel over…
The data transfer code that I've been resurrecting from a bunch of PRs from about a year ago has now reached the point where it's able to actually move bulk data correctly. Which is nice, very very nice. Alas, one of my cow-orkers (coincidentally the original author of the data transfer code I've been fixing) broke the rest of the code on master this morning by merging a PR specifically marked “don't merge; downstream dependencies not ready yet”. Thanks.

In any case, yes, rebooting fixed it.
Everyone who runs Windows knows that! (The 1st sign of weirdness on my android and I automatically reboot. Things always work better then.)

I have gone so low I've asked about it on SO . Who would design report software with no tables? Who would design it so there literally isn't a way to have a thing both grow when things are near it and have either dynamic visibility or background color? That's all I need!
