Category: Geometry Conversion Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Lee Butler (lbutler) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: dbupgrade on incompatible hardware Initial Comment: We need to be able to do a dbupgrade of a .g file on a machine which does not have the same "endian" orientation as the one used to create the .g file. In particular, there are a large number of big-endian .g files sprinkled around that will need to be upgraded when they are found. We generally only have intel little-endian machines available these days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2008-06-26 14:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=785737 Originator: NO I finally finished all of the necessary run-time detections that were needed to make that happen a few months ago. It shouldn't be too complicated to hook in some options to dbupgrade with that all in place -- the only trick will be (reliably) detecting that a file is of a different endian format (maybe test a few matrices, then tend to be wildly invalid). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=640805&aid=2003167&group_id=105292 |
