[15:09:34] <jepler> andypugh: oh well, it was mostly a cut&paste job
[15:10:07] <andypugh> I am somewhat gratified to find that I was on the right track.
[15:10:49] <andypugh> Though I am a bit puzzled as to why we need library functions for simple arithmetic operations.
[15:12:37] <Tom_itx> i doubt many platforms do 64bit math natively
[15:13:39] <Tom_itx> most µC don't anyway
[15:15:29] <archivist> and languages have just assumed platform register size

[15:26:10] <andypugh> Hi Pavel
[15:28:30] <jepler> andypugh: the x86 doesn't have an instruction that performs s64/s64 division or s64%s64 modulo, so gcc compiles in a call to a special internal function such as __moddi3 and all userspace programs are implicitly linked against a library which includes the implementation of __moddi3
[15:28:40] -!- krusty_ar_ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[15:28:41] <jepler> the kernel doesn't link against this library
[15:29:34] <andypugh> I suppose all data types are a construct of the compiler, really.
[15:29:47] <jepler> instead it requires you to call a function where this arithmetic is required
[15:31:04] <andypugh> It has been an instructive few hours :-)
[15:31:39] <andypugh> And I may have found a bug in the LCD driver code in the process.
[15:31:53] <jepler> another detail is that the kernel functions actually perform math with a 32-bit denominator: s64/s32. in C, if you have an expression where the types are s64 and s32 and you do arithmetic on them, the s32 is promoted to s64. the function version doesn't force this promotion, so it can actually be a smidge more efficient than __divdi3 which has to assume that the denominator could have its high bits set
[15:32:25] <jepler> (in practice that overhead is unimportant--a single test-and-branch--but you know how kernel people are about efficiency)
[15:33:53] <andypugh> Efficiency seems like it should be considered in RT code too.
[15:34:18] <andypugh> Can you have a look at line 500 of src/hal/components/lcd.c ?
[15:34:53] <andypugh> I think it doesn't do what I meant it to do. (It is meant to count decimal digits in a number, I think)
[15:34:55] <jepler> 500 for (c = m + 1 + s; (do_div(tmp, 10)) > 0 ; c++){} //don't have a log10
[15:35:25] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@193.228.47.2] has joined #linuxcnc-devel
[15:36:20] <andypugh> I think I have since learned that do_div does a divide-in-place (which is fine here) but returns the remainder, whereas thar code looks to be assuming that the result is returned.
[15:36:31] <jepler> do_div is a macro provided by the kernel. it modifies its first argument, dividing it in-place by the second argument and returning the remainder
[15:36:36] <jepler> http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/include/asm/div64.h#L10
[15:36:46] <andypugh> for (c = m + 1 + s; do_div(tmp, 10), tmp > 0 ; c++){} //don't have a log10
[15:37:01] <andypugh> Is probably what I wanted
[15:37:57] <andypugh> And I suspect that I never noticed the bug as my typical test numbers were 1.23456789, so it worked.
[15:38:16] -!- syyl has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[15:38:50] <jepler> so you really want c += ilog10_ceil(tmp)?
[15:39:04] <jepler> i.e., add 1 for tmp=9, 2 for tmp=10?
[15:39:18] <andypugh> And, in fact, that is just a really perverse way to write: for (c = m + 1 + s; tmp > 0 ; c++){do_div(tmp, 10)} //don't have a log10
[15:39:24] <jepler> (add 1 for tmp=0?)
[15:39:49] <andypugh> Yes.

[15:40:44] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[15:41:13] <andypugh> Are you saying that there is a log10?
[15:41:21] <jepler> no
[15:41:51] <andypugh> And it is likely that that loop is faster than finding the log too.
[15:44:00] <andypugh> Anyway, I am just checking that the code is wrong in the way i think it is. I am pretty sure that my plan wasn't to find the first zero digit.
[15:44:12] <jepler> yeah
[15:44:23] <jepler> I'm working on writing ilog10_ceil so you can just incorporate it and call it..
[15:44:27] <jepler> but so far I've got it wrong :-P
[15:44:33] <jepler> ilog10_ceil(9) -> 64
[15:45:18] <andypugh> Is there any point making it into a function call? It doesn't look like anyone else has ever wanted it.
[15:46:14] <jepler> when I get stuck I like to assume there's a function that does what I want and just write a call to it
[15:46:32] <jepler> ilog10_ceil is such a function; I can even imagine what its implementation might look like
[15:46:33] <andypugh> (and note that it needs to work with u64
[15:46:55] <jepler> and when it is a function I can also test it
[15:47:09] <jepler> http://emergent.unpythonic.net/files/sandbox/ilog10_ceil.c
[15:49:01] <jepler> 64-bit abs is called llabs in userspace and abs64 in kernel space :-/
[15:49:08] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@extern-183.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #linuxcnc-devel
[15:49:17] <jepler> http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/kernel.h#L173
[15:50:30] <jepler> so maybe we want rtapi_abs64, which could also go in rtapi_math64.h if you wanted
[15:50:32] <andypugh> while(v >= c) { c *= 10; r++; } is closer to what I think I wanted.
[15:50:42] -!- amaldo has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[15:51:02] <jepler> yeah you're right
[15:51:14] <jepler> I didn't get around to writing the part where I actually checked that the result was what I thought it should be
[15:51:25] <jepler> so it's not exactly _ceil is it
[15:51:37] <jepler> isn't it 1 + ilog10_floor then?
[15:51:49] <andypugh> Maybe :-)
[15:51:55] <jepler> call it ndigits and forget it
[15:52:01] <andypugh> Quite.
[15:52:17] <andypugh> ndigits(value, base)
[15:53:09] <andypugh> I will make a note of the fact there is a bug to fix, but I am in the middle of other stuffs at the moment.
[15:55:29] <jepler> OK
[15:55:41] <jepler> yeah, you could generalize it to other bases if you wanted
[15:56:27] <jepler> incidentally I chose to write in terms of * because usually integer * is faster than /

[16:00:57] <andypugh> Yes, I saw that and recognised it as a better solution.

[16:10:24] -!- stsydow has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[16:11:56] <jepler> it looks like x86 assembles u64*u32 inline
[16:13:01] <jepler> it looks like the kernel provides __muldi3 for architectures where it's needed, e.g.,
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/microblaze/lib/muldi3.c#L46
[16:14:10] <andypugh> It seems wrong that it is all in terms of the vaguely ambiguous "long" "short" and "long long"
[16:15:00] <Tom_itx> long is different on different platforms too
[16:15:45] <andypugh> That's my point.
[16:16:01] <Tom_itx> welcome to c
[16:16:53] <jepler> if you mean that specific implementation of __muldi3, that is platform specific and on that platform "long long" is dimode
[16:17:14] <jepler> http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Libgcc.html
[16:18:20] <jepler> DImode
[16:18:20] <jepler> “Double Integer” mode represents an eight-byte integer.
