47       overhead = std::min(overhead, ticks);

74      min_ticks = std::min(min_ticks, ticks);

any suggestions

I don't know if my solution would be the best or fastest, but i hope it works (just basic C) :

overhead = (overhead <= ticks) ? overhead : ticks;
min_ticks = (min_ticks <= ticks) ? min_ticks : ticks;

Merci Urs 

[_heinz]

Thank you very much,

all of you, who supported me on the long way to the client, reading my threads, answered my questions and give me hints and tips to bring the application forward to a sucessful compiled version.
Especially thanks to Crunch3r, Josef Segur, Simon and Urs Echternacht.

Now the next step is test, debug and work with test WU´s, to show that this client is really errorfree.
If this is so, I will download the Intel compiler to produce the speed-optimized version of this client, for everybody using.

Hoping at your further support to realize this.

Regards seti_britta ~heinz

[_heinz]

This is the first try to run the client with a test WU
How you see it crashes early at the beginning. Searching now, why this happen.
KWSN_2.2B shows what it should do.

though about this error

if we enter analyseFuncs the first to do is --->Allocate data array and work area arrays.

here are the importend statements:
int seti_analyze( ANALYSIS_STATE &state )
 ......
    NumDataPoints = state.npoints; //seti_britta: problem, npoints has no init value ?
struct ANALYSIS_STATE
    {
    sah_complex *data;
    sah_complex *savedWUData;   // Save the original WU data
    int         npoints;
    int         icfft;
    int         PoT_freq_bin;   // where we are in PoT analysis for this icfft

    // ... will be -1 if no PoT analysis in progress
    int         PoT_activity;
    int         doing_pulse;
    double      FLOP_counter;
    };
.......
    PowerSpectrum = ( float * ) MEM.calloc( "PowerSpectrum", NumDataPoints, sizeof(float) );
.......
we go now to MEM.calloc ---->
      void *calloc( const char *name, size_t size, size_t nitems, size_t alignment = MEM_ALIGN)
         {
         void *ptr = calloc_a( size, nitems, alignment );
         if ( ptr == NULL ) SETIERROR( MALLOC_FAILED, report( name ) );
//         fprintf(stderr, "(%1.1fK) %s \n", size*nitems/1024.0, name);
         return ptr;
         };
-----------------------------------------------------
maybe nitems has no or a wrong value
-----------------------------------------------------
if NumDataPoints has no value, calloc fails and how you can see there is no opcode written  to prevent this, so we get a errormassage from the system like this ---->Can't set up shared mem: -1, Unhandled Exception Detected...
----------------------------------------------------------
it looks like this is the error, we will see if this will be confirm.......
 

[_heinz]

it looks like this is the error, we will see if this will be confirm.......
 

it is necessary to have a look at main.cpp and seti.cpp where wrote_header writes values into the structure ANALYSIS_STATE 

[_heinz]

the critical problem is in malloc_a.h
there are 2 variables undefined ---> nitems, alignment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
68      void *calloc( const char *name, size_t size, size_t nitems, size_t alignment = MEM_ALIGN)
69      {
70         void *ptr = calloc_a( size, nitems, alignment );
71         if ( ptr == NULL ) SETIERROR( MALLOC_FAILED, report( name ) );
72//         fprintf(stderr, "(%1.1fK) %s \n", size*nitems/1024.0, name);
73         return ptr;
74         };

81      void __fastcall free( void * ptr )   { __OUR_FREE( ptr ); };

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that´s the reason why the application crashes on the first call of calloc 
and this happen in main.cpp in the first lines --->

int main( int argc, char **argv )
    {
    int retval = 0, i;
    FORCE_FRAME_POINTER;
    run_stage = PREGRX;
    g_argc = argc;

    if ( !(g_argv = ( char ** ) calloc( argc + 2, sizeof(char *) )) )
        {
        exit( MALLOC_FAILED );
        }

c:\i\sc\seti\seti_boinc_2k3_2.2b-ben-joe\client\malloc_a.h(68) : warning C4002: Zu viele übergebene Parameter für das Makro 'calloc'
--------------------------
calloc braucht genau 2 Parameter beim Aufruf
calloc(anzahl_der_elemente, groesse_der_elemente)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

next problem is the multideclaration of FORCE_FRAME_POINTER;
as you can see it is declared in s_util.h, line 133 and in seti.h line 144
and there are no cunstruct in the headerfiles to prevent this.
for instance:
#ifndef FORCE_FRAME_POINTER
#define FORCE_FRAME_POINTER
#endif
----------------------------------------------------------------
zur Erinnerung: ich habe es schon einmal in #36 gesagt --->
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hauptsächliche Probleme im Projekt sind:
1. Migrationsprobleme -->siehe http://msdn2.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms235289(VS.80).aspx
2. varalteter Deklarationsstil
3. Typkonvertierungen
4. Konvertierungen bei Parameterübernahme und Rückgabe in Funktionen.
5. Parameter in Makrodefinitionen
6. Benutzung nicht definierter Variablen
7. Multideclarationen (Mehrdeutigkeit)

um mal einige zu nennen

------------------------------------------------------------------
die Fehler in 4. und 5. sind oft schwierig zu finden, weil hier meist keine Typüberprüfung durch den Compiler durchgeführt wird. Dafür ist allein der Programmierer verantwortlich.
Das erklärt auch die Tatsache dass ein fehlerfrei compiliertes  Programm ,wie in unserem Fall geschehen, bei der Ausführung abstürzt .

That seems to have crept into our sources before 2.0, I suggest changing to what the cvs sources now have; no define in seti.h and the following in s_util.h :

Code: [Select]

// The MS & intel compilers don't allow alloca in try/catch blocks
#ifndef FORCE_FRAME_POINTER
#if ( defined(HAVE_ALLOCA) || defined(_WIN32) ) && !( defined(__INTEL_COMPILER) || defined (_MSC_VER) )
#define FORCE_FRAME_POINTER alloca(16)
#else
#define FORCE_FRAME_POINTER (0)
#endif
#endif
Note: Crunch3r identified the error with Intel compiler, and the changes were made after that. But the 5.15 code from which ours has evolved was before.

Merci Joe, thank you for your comment.
I use the source seti_boinc_2k3_2.2B1-Ben-Joe.7z from 02.03.2007. Hoping that it is stiil actual.
regards seti_britta ~heinz

[_heinz]

@Simon
are there any changes in malloc_a.h since 2.2B source published ??
~heinz

[Simon]

I don't think so, no.

As you have seen bevore  there were 2 undefined variables, nitems, alignment. No problem, if we define it like this
      unsigned static int nitems, alignment;
We had todo this at the beginning in the class c_MEM. Here are the changed malloc_a.h
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#if !defined( MALLOC_A_H )
#define MALLOC_A_H

#define MEM_ALIGN   64

#if defined( USE_FFTWF )

start_seti - 2 Fehler, 1 Warnung(en)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the problems are

68       void *calloc( const char *name, size_t size, size_t nitems, size_t alignment = MEM_ALIGN)
69         {
70         void *ptr = calloc_a( size, nitems, alignment );//error C2065: 'nitems': nichtdeklarierter Bezeichner, nitems, alignment

----------------------------------------------------
83      void __fastcall free( void * ptr )   { __OUR_FREE( ptr ); };
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if we now goto 68 and look how calloc is declared we found in boinc_win.h --->
#define calloc(c, s)                          _calloc_dbg(c, s, _NORMAL_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__)
if we now look how _calloc_dbg is declared we found a multideclaration(Mehrdeutigkeit) in two different files:
1. line 634 stdlib.h
_CRTIMP _CRT_JIT_INTRINSIC  _CRTNOALIAS _CRTRESTRICT __checkReturn __bcount_opt(_NumOfElements* _SizeOfElements)    void * __cdecl calloc(__in size_t _NumOfElements, __in size_t _SizeOfElements);

2. line 676 ff crtdbg.h
_CRTIMP __checkReturn __bcount_opt(_NumOfElements*_SizeOfElements) void * __cdecl _calloc_dbg(
        __in size_t _NumOfElements,
        __in size_t _SizeOfElements,
        __in int _BlockType,
        __in_z_opt const char * _Filename,
        __in int _LineNumber
        );
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
let´s now go to line 83 -->
83      void __fastcall free( void * ptr )   { __OUR_FREE( ptr ); };
we look now where  __OUR_FREE is declared and found in malloc_a.h line 53 --->
53   #define __OUR_FREE( ptr ) free_a( ptr );
we go now where free_a is declared and found in line 43 malloc_a.h --->
43 void    __fastcall free_a( void *palignedMem );
we had todo now set into the macro to resolve it........

The multideclaration is the problem, any suggestions to solve it are welcome

[Josef W. Segur]

Overloaded functions are a feature of C and C++ so the compiler distinguishes between functions with the same name by the number and type of arguments. Name mangling distinguishes them in later parts of the compilation. There are fairly complex rules which allow for automatic conversion of types, and functions can actually be called with more arguments than shown in the declaration.

So, you are trying to do a DEBUG build and the overloaded calloc() definition in line 68 of malloc_a.h has the same number and type of arguments as the __calloc_dbg() which the boinc_win.h macro substitutes for calloc(). Conflict!

Crunch3r ran into the same thing when doing the Linux 2.2B builds so those sources have reverted all the MEM.calloc() etc. calls to calloc_a() etc. I think that's the best thing to do.
