Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Accelerator / Hot Keys

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

Jacob,

You were quick to find the second of our two lingering thorns on =20
Windows! :-) Again, this one needs to be fixed for our internal =20
milestone, and should be resolved in the coming weeks.

Blessings,

Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Tabstops / Tab order

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

Jacob,

Tab order is defined to be the order in which the items in the dialog =20=

are parsed/created, which usually results in a very natural tab stop =20
progression through the dialog. Unfortunately tabstops are not =20
working on win32 for some reason; it's an issue we are going to be =20
addressing shortly for an internal milestone we have to hit. =20
Anticipate this one to be fixed in the not-too-distant future.

Yes, we have had this problem presented to us before. Hopefully with =20
the next release of ASL we will have this batch file updated so users =20=

can have one (or both) IDEs installed.

Yes, if you can nail this down please file it as a bug report on the =20
sourceforge.net page.

We have the vcproj files hand-made at this point due to the fact that =20=

we make heavy use of vsprops files to put our settings external to =20
the vc projects themselves. We haven't played with CMake before.

[Adobe-source-devel] Accelerator / Hot Keys

[Jacob F. <ja...@gm...>]

On a similar note to my last email, does Eve support Accelerator (hot) keys?

I tried the Windows standard way of putting an ampersand in the label name.
It caused an assertion failure in:
adobe::adl::measure_horizontal(label_t& value, extents_t& result, overload)
->   assert(result.horizontal().length_m);

[Adobe-source-devel] Tabstops / Tab order

[Jacob F. <ja...@gm...>]

Does EVE have any concept of Tab Order?  Either automatic or manual?

I cannot tab between controls in the Adobe Begin examples.

Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Fwd: Contact from Texas A&M IAP

[Jacob F. <ja...@gm...>]

Thanks for all the tips!  Leconv worked like a charm.  After that I realize=
d
I didn't have the latest version, so decided to try the all-in-one
asl_1.0.20_net_setup.bat.  The batch file was more sophisticated than I
expected and it worked very well.

I did run into a couple problems once the build got started, though.  First=
,
I am using VC8 (Visual Studio 2005).  I modified build.bat as follows:
if EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\" (
    set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT=3D%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio .NE=
T
2003\VC7\
    set VC71_ROOT=3D%BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT%
    set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=3Dvc71
    set TOOLS=3Dvc71
)

if EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\" (
    set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT=3D%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\V=
C\
    set VC80_ROOT=3D%BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT%
    set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=3Dvc80
    set TOOLS=3Dvc80
)
I am not too familiar with bjam, but it seemed to work ok, aside from a few
incorrect references to VC7 in the output.

Second, the build had some problems with spaces in the path.  If you like, =
I
can try to track down exactly where it got tripped up.  It worked fine once
I moved it to a location w/out spaces.

I also tried the IDE files and I built Begin from the vcproj with no
problems.  How do you guys generate the IDE files?  Are you familiar with
CMake?  We are using CMake for our build here, so I will likely be working
on CMake files that pull ASL into our application.

Thanks!
Jacob

Welcome to the club!

 =46rom our experience the biggest issue with GnuWin32 has been that =20
the line endings in the patch file were such that Patch was not =20
happy. I can't recall if it caused Patch to crash or just to fail =20
patching. The source files did not need to have their line endings =20
converted -- patch seems to be line ending agnostic after the reading =20=

of the patch file. We use leconv, a small utility in adobe-source/=20
adobe/tools/, on the patch file to make it something patch is happy =20
with.

Let me know if you have any more issues.

Foster

[Sean P. <sp...@ad...>]

First recommendation is to join the developer mailing list (and the  
discussion mailing list) off our source forge site) - other folks on  
my team and in the community are often more responsive than I can be  
to these questions.

Foster, Mat, or Ralph can likely answer you question on patching on  
Win32.

Re: [Adobe-source-devel] regular_object with value_t

[Sean P. <sp...@ad...>]

Hi Ralph,

This is referred to as "the refinement problem" - Here value_t models  
a regular type and a controller is a refinement of a regular type -  
given the regular type, how do you determine if it is a controller?  
STL uses tag dispatching to do this at compile time - and relies on  
the fact that the set of tags is fixed (for example, you can't  
readily add a new category of iterator and have algorithms dispatch  
to your specializations - that's one problem I'm hoping C++ Concepts  
will fix [hi Doug ;-) ] ).

With runtime concepts (what we are dealing with here with the any_  
types) - we run into a double unknown problem - any given type could  
model an infinite number of concepts, at the point that we hand the  
type off to an any_ class we capture the operations for a given  
concept. If later you want to say "does this type model a refined  
concept" and then recover the interface you can't because the code  
hasn't been instantiated and you don't have the type information at  
that point to force an instantiation (you are now runtime - not  
compile time).

I just signed off on an nfs grant proposal to investigate adding  
runtime concepts to the language - hence why I'm copying Doug, Peter,  
and Jaakko.

In the shorter term - I've been looking at boost::serialization (in  
the process of replacing the ASL serialization with it now) - boost  
serialization uses a registration mechanism to force instantiations  
and place them in a table so they can be retrieved later - an  
interesting (though somewhat fragile) solution. The mechanism for  
this is currently entangled with boost::serialization but I'm  
envisioning a mechanism where I can write something like:

namespace {
register_model<concept_controller, checkbox_t>::type dummy_ctor;
}

And then later being able to write (any_regular_t is the new name for  
value_t)

any_regular_t v(some_function());
if (models<concept_controller>(v))
{
	any_controller_t c(cast<any_controller_t>(v));
	//...
}

Another form of this that wouldn't require the global registration  
might look like:

any_regular_t v(make_any_regular<concept_controller, concept_view> 
(checkbox_t()));

(usage of the value would be the same as above). Eventually I'd like  
any_regular_t to become:

typedef any<concept_regular> any_regular_t;

So lots of work to do! We always welcome you help and suggestions :-)

[Adobe-source-devel] regular_object with value_t

[Ralph T. <ra...@gm...>]

Hi,

  I'm not sure if this is possible, but... is there a way to put an
instance of some class into a value_t and then later pull out
regular_interfaces on it? Something like this:

struct widget {
  // from View
  void display(const type_t&);
  // from Controller
  void monitor(monitor_fn_t);
  ...
};

value_t v(new widget());
any_view_t* view = v.get<any_view_t*>();
any_controller_t* controller = v.get<any_controller_t*>();

The problems I have where this would be useful are typically wrapping
an API that defines a type for "a group of objects that can be
enumerated" (which I would have to convert to an array_t) and provides
some special operations on the group type (so I'd also have to have
the specific group type available). Of course, I can also solve this
problem by providing a conversion function, but this seemed more
interesting :).

Thanks,
 Ralph

We have fairly detailed instructions here, <http://

On the Mac I simply did:

cd adobe/documentation/examples

(and it showed we have some errors which have crept into our examples  
and we need to do this as part of our release process) - mostly  
though the files here are just compilation tests - look in the jam file.

If the outsets collide with a visual element then the code asserts  
(once we have some kind of warning mechanism it will issue a warning.  
If there is no frame on the edge of a container the outsets will push  
into the parent growing the parent outset. This makes sure that if  
you have something like:

panel() { button(name: "Hello"); }

Then the panel will grow to be large enough to enclose the button  
(without screwing up other spacing) - so you don't get any pixel junk  
if you hide the panel.

[Ralph T. <ra...@gm...>]

Hi asl-devel,

  The diagram here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/structadobe_1_1layout__attributes__t_1_1slice__t.html

  makes it seem like outsets get factored into a parent's size, or
that they could be used to make space between views (not using the
spacing array in the parent).

I think that they actually just get collected up so that the parent
view's outsets have the child's outsets factored in. Is this correct?

Re: [Adobe-source-devel] No build scrips for version 1.0.20 work on Win32

[Elisha B. <e....@co...>]

OK, Now the projects compile :)

The two work-arounds were to turn off the Treat Warnings as Errors (/WX) in
the VC8 project for Boost.Filesystem and to hack the build.bat file and
remove the '/WX' flag.

The error apparently only occurs in Boost.Filesystem in file operations.hpp.

So it looks like you can turn off the /WX flag just for this one project
(but that doesn't help the .jam files much).

I would suggest creating a build.bat file that actually works for VC8 or to
parameterize it to accept either VC71 or VC8.  Otherwise us 'users' will
perennially have to hack both the build.bat file, the build process itself
to not use the default build.bat (for VC71) and also the VC8 project files.

Is that really what you intended for us to do?

One more question here about setup: how to you compile the projects in:

asl\adobe-source\adobe\documentation\examples ???

Thanks,

Elisha Berns

I'd be happy to help you to resolve the issue you are seeing. One of =20
the most prevalent issues you have is:

> warning C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be =20
> represented in the current code page (1255). Save the file in =20
> Unicode format to prevent data loss

We have seen this once before: the issue started with the sources =20
being compiled on a WinXP machine whose region was set to something =20
other than the United States. The problem arose when the compiler ran =20=

across a character it could not translate to the code pages for the =20
region set on the build machine. Most of the issues we found revolved =20=

around high-ASCII characters in the names of the authors of the =20
sources. The most annoying part was that these characters are often =20
found only in comments, which need not be considered by the compiler =20
in the first place! We have notified Boost of this issue in the past, =20=

but I get the impression a fix is very low on their priority list. =20
Nevertheless, there is a simple workaround: delete the offending =20
character from the source file. If you can give me line numbers in =20
the files where this is an issue, I can modify our Boost patch file =20
to eliminate the violating characters for the next release.

If this is not the issue you are seeing, please provide a little more =20=

detail about the build environment under which you are compiling the =20
sources. If you can hack the automated build script and change =20
instances of 'bjam' to 'bjam -d2', you should get copious debugging =20
information during a build -- such information would also help.

I'm available to continue working with you on resolving this issue. =20
Please keep me informed. Thanks again for your interest in ASL!

Blessings,
Foster

Some warnings are handled as errors which breaks your build.
You could remove this more pedantic behavior in the project
settings or in the makefiles by searching for /we flags.

[Adobe-source-devel] No build scrips for version 1.0.20 work on Win32

[Elisha B. <e....@co...>]

I have tested repeatedly the automated build scripts for ASL on Win32 using
both VC71 and VC80 and neither works.  The script downloads, unzips and
patches and then cannot build several targets.  Using the VC80 solution
file(s) does not work either (see attached file).

Can someone either fix these issues in the sources or help me resolve the
issues?

Thanks,

[Adobe-source-devel] ASL support for GTK+

[Ralph T. <ra...@gm...>]

Hi Adobe-source-devel,

 With the following patch, ASL compiles and Adobe Begin runs on Linux
using the GTK+ toolkit! All of the test layouts work, with the
following bugs:

  label: grow.eve window grows, but doesn't shrink back again.

  presets: unimplemented.

  link: toy implementation.

  vertical guides: always in the center of the widget, no baseline
available in Gtk+.

  begin: toy implementation, only File -> Quit, Help -> About and
dropping files to open work.

  gtk+ themes: no relayout is performed when the theme is changed,
this needs to happen as themes can alter widget metrics.

  window close signal: required for proper clean-up -- right now a
bunch of warnings appear in the terminal if you close a window and
Begin then deletes it.

I plan to address these issues, including Adobe Begin (for now it runs
and can open files via drag-drop from the GNOME file manager) over the
coming week or next weekend.

I am proposing this for inclusion into ASL 1.0.22, we're a bit close
to the time for 1.0.21. In the mean time I would like as many people
as possible to test this patch and report bugs back to this list.

The patch is available from here:
  http://www.missioncode.org/ralpht/asl-1.0.20-add-gtk.patch

I've tested it to apply cleanly and then compile (on Ubuntu 6.06):
  1. Download and extract asl_1.0.20.tgz
  2. Follow the instructions for "Patching Boost" here:
        http://opensource.adobe.com/asl_readme.html#building_manually
  3. Build bjam (go into boost/tools/build/jam_src and run ./build.sh,
then copy bjam to
        somewhere in $PATH).
  4. Go back up to "adobe-source", run bjam.
  5. Once the build is done, go into bin/install/LINUX/debug/Adobe Begin/
  6. run ./begin

The examples are in adobe-source/adobe/test/begin/examples -- drag the
.eve file and corresponding .adm file onto the main "Adobe Begin"
window at the same time to open an example. The File > Open menu
doesn't work yet.

Thanks,
 Ralph

On further examination I see that the build.bat file has fallen out of date.
Sorry about that. Here is a replacement version that should work with VC8.
Please let me know if it works for you.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulties. I wouldn't suggest
trying to manually hack build.bat. Instead you could start here:

 <http://opensource.adobe.com/asl_readme.html#building_automatically>


> And the directory of VC8 projects what are they good for if

Please let us know what problems you are having with the VC8 projects. We
use them on a daily basis and are not aware of any issues at present.

[Adobe-source-devel] How to build ASL with VC8

[Elisha B. <e....@co...>]

I am trying to build the ASL using VC8 and so far I don't see how to do it.
The build.bat is set for use with VC71 and when I change the settings for
VC8 it builds the bjam executable and then dies.

So what changes are needed to build using VC8?

And the directory of VC8 projects what are they good for if they are in
disrepair?

Thanks,

Elisha Berns

[Adobe-source-devel] GIL: initialization order

[Ralph T. <ra...@gm...>]

Hi,

  In ASL 1.0.20, I noticed that some of the color_base stucts in GIL
(in rgba.hpp, probably elsewhere too) initialize members in the wrong
order, causing a warning in GCC. This wouldn't be a problem if it
wasn't for the fact that ASL's bjam settings treat warnings as errors.

Thanks,
 Ralph
