Here is a copy of my original thoughts sent to Jim:
1. The existing testing only tests a string 1/10 th of the original (at 
a time).  I propose that the input gets switched between a large and 
small string (minimum).  I believe that the transition metrics are of 
particular interest, ie the first run after the imput changes
2. The first run should not be thrown out, but listed as a metric 
(LabVIEW now does a good job on resizing arrays in shift regs, but still 
gets caught when the array size changes significantly.  The existing 
metrics analysis may throw that information out.)
3. Can we randomize the order?
4. Can we create a batch that completely quits LabVIEW between test VI's?
5. We need to verify that the output is correct.
6. Add tests for robustness (empty string, no backspaces, all 
backspaces, string that results in empty string as a result)?
7. OK to remove the example from the test folder so we can make generic 
Tester?

I should have something to share by this weekend.

I see several issues that must be discussed.

(1) A good set of test strings.
===============================
I would think that in real life such a VI typically encounters relatively
short inputs with only a few \b characters. (In this respect, the current
test string is quite pathological).

A VI needs to be fast under all kinds of inputs and should not encounter
slowdowns under certain conditions, so I suggest the following set of
strings (to be expanded as needed):
- an empty string
- A short string (currently I use
"XX\b\b\b\bAAAA\b\b\bBCC\bDXXX\b\b\b"=ABCD)
- Jim's long string
- A string of 1000000 characters (no \b!)
- A string of 1000000 \b characters
- A string of 1000000 characters, all even numbered characters are "\b".

Suggestion for scoring:
The times for each string are normalized to the fastest time (e.g. if one
candidate is 10% slower, it would get a 1.1). Winner will have lowest
average score, which could be as low as 1 if it is fastest on all strings
(unlikely?).

(2) VI settings
===============
I am not sure if we should force priorities/reentrant on the VIs as
currently done, but if so, what should the settings be?

(3) VI execution
================
There are several ways to execute the VIs. Jim uses "invoke node" while my
current VI uses "call by reference node". Jim sets the actual VI to "time
critical", I set the core tester VI to "time critical", while setting the
test subject to subroutine.

What is better and why? What more realistically models the use in a real
application?

(4) Timing
==========
Due to the ms timer resolution, the test must last at least a few hundred ms
to get a few significant digits. Fast running VIs need to be called inside
a loop, with the loop count tuned to the execution time.
I would not use any averaging of runs, but do multiple runs, then pick the
fastest. (All OS disturbances tend to lengthen the time!)

"Remove Backspace" test harness

[Jim K. <jk...@ja...>]

Hello All,

I wanted to start a thread here in and thereby move some discussions 
that were happening on info-lv and off-line.  Christian Altenbach  and 
Brian Gangloff expressed interest in helping on the test plan and 
harness for the "Remove Backspace" coding challenge (thanks again guys 
:-).  I don't have time to summarize these discussions, but hopefully we 
can just pick up were we left off and everyone can get up to speed on 
the issues without too much effort.

I have posted a copy of the current test harnesss here:

Match Pattern Instances

[Jim K. <jk...@ja...>]

I've had a lot of problems emailing to the list with attachements, so I
have created a page on OpenG.org where you can read about and download
"Match Pattern Instances".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello All,

Attached is a candidate for the OpenG Toolkit "oglib_string" package.
It is called Match Pattern Instances.  I would like to bounce this off
of all of you for feedback.  I have included a simple example that shows
how to return a list of all INI file section names ("[<SectionName>]")
from a string.  Are there any missing inputs of outputs?  Any additional
behaviors that would be useful?  Any suggestions for the icon?

At some point you just need a faster CPU.  Seriously, what time are you
getting when you run the example "Remove Backspace.vi"?  On my machine
this takes about 1000 ms.  You should scale your results against those
that are posted.  And, you can always submit your entry (more than one
submission is allowed) and see how fast it runs on the "judging machine".

Have fun,

OpenGOOP TCP Server

[Jim K. <jk...@ja...>]

It appears that this did not get to the list so I am resending...

Hello All,

I am currently working on an RT/Embedded system and I had to create a
custom TCP server. I decided to make it very general and allow registering
call-back VIs to handle client connection. This design allows for multiple
client connections (if the call-back VI is reentrant) and is super-clean .
The call-back framework handles all the management (spawing and cleanup).

My only disclaimer is that I've only spent a couple days on it and it has
not been tested for memory leaks, reliability, etc. Please report these
back to me, if you would be so kind.

If you place VIs or CTLs into ./vi.lib/Addons/ they will appear in the root
Functions or Controls palette (respectively).  However, the "Merge" VI
setting is stored in the MNU file and cannot be set dynamically in
palette-sync'ed folders.  If you want merged-VIs then you will need to
create your own MNU file.

I don't recommend editing any of the dynamic palette view MNU files.  These
will be overwritten when you upgrade the dynamicpalette package.  I suggest
that you create a submenu of your tools and edit this submenu to merge your
VIs.  You can then package up this submenu and install it with the OpenG
Package Installer.  If you want your submenu installed in the root location
the you will need to have your MNU file stored beneath ./vi.lib/Addons/ .

Installed Locations of your Package:
./vi.lib/Addons/mikes_package1.mnu
./user.lib/_mikeslib.lib/mikes_package1/<PutAllYourVIsHere>

Choose a static (and permanent) location for your VIs beneath user.lib (put
an underscore at the beginning of the name of your subdirectory to prevent
this folder from showing up as a submenu in the User Libraries palette
menu).  We have chosen to store library VIs beneath user.lib, because
LabVIEW saves paths relative to user.lib/vi.lib if the file is stored
beneath user.lib/vi.lib.  This will allow us to move our MNU file to any
location and it will still be able to find its VIs.  Once you decide on a
static location, put your VIs in that location and create your MNU file.
After you are done creating your MNU file you can package up your VIs and
MNU file as an OpenG Package File and have it install the VIs to their
static location and the MNU file to any palette sync'ed folder (such as
./vi.lib/Addons/).

Let me know if you need any help setting up your package source files and
build script.

OpenG - Dynamic Palattes Top Level Add-ins...

[Mike K. <mi...@ad...>]

Hi everyone.  Jim and I started talking about the dynamic palettes toolkit  
on OpenG and thought it would be better to discuss here.

What I would like to be able to do using the dynamic paletts is add VIs at  
the top level of the palettes.  Not just a new submenu though because this  
can already be done by adding to (./vi.lib/Addons/) but what I would  
really like is to be able to add VIs by themselves and Merge VIs at the  
top level of the palettes.

I use this a lot to add my most common VIs and some precolored notes for  
documentation and other MERGE VIs.  Currently I have to customize the  
palettes and manually add this (even with dynamic palettes) so I would  
like to know if there is a way to add content at the top level that is not  
another sub menu?

I'd like to make it a toolkit so I can use OpenG to install it on any  
machine I use instead of always having to manually add all my content to  
the dynamic palettes view.

Any ideas would be appreciated...

I was thinking that having both outputs would allow users to get both
pieces of information without having to call the VI twice (which might
slow things down when reading large files).

I would have added an input which defines how the found should behave
and with a default which works like the current implementation.

But your solution is in fact at least as good.

Not sure about cygwin use here. As I have Visual C available at my workplace
I haven't felt much compelling reasons to go through the hassle of installing
and getting cygwin to work.

As to the dll: There are certainly several things to consider. First the currently
available C code is really only a very rough draft of what the DLL should be in the
end. Also the main important function with the system exe + std IO + std err pipes
is not yet filled in, eventhough I have the code from both the Turtoise CVS function
and the MSDN example here to draw from.

Named pipes will only work on NT based Windows systems. So the simple Open function
will fail on Win 9x/Me systems. Little we can do about this as Win9x just doesn't
know about named pipes at all. 

Last but not least is it very likely that the Win32 API ReadFile() function will
not behave as desired on pipe handles as in default mode it just seems to block
for as long as necessary to get the requested data. For this we have to investigate
a little into this. Possible solutions in order of preference:

1) Using overlapped read mode (this is the MSDN term for in principle asynchronous
   file IO) in ReadFile() might give us enough functionality in order to investigate
   both the error status of the pipe and the number of available bytes in the buffer,
   to abort the overlapped read mode immediately and retrieve the available data or
   return with an according error.
2) Creating a seperate thread to monitor the pipe handle(s). This is ugly but was the
   route Ian and his friends appearently decided to go in the Turtoise CVS solution.

Problem is I have also a life besides of the computer programming and that is
currently interfering heavily, so things on the pipe source code do not go as
fast as I would like it myself.

Re: VariantConfig suggestion....

[Jim K. <jk...@ja...>]

Derrick,

We cannot change the behavior of the "found?" output simply because people
rely on its present behavior.  However, wee could rename this to "all
found?" and add an additional output called "any found?".

Anyone like or dislike this idea?

VariantConfig suggestion....

[Swinarsky, DJ D. (5. @ I. <d.s...@L-...>]

I have just used the Read Section Cluster VI and have a question.  I am
using it to read in configuration information for my VI and some of the
configuration items are not mandatory.  Obviously this causes a problem
because it returns found?=false if ANY are missing.  In this case where some
of the items are optional it would be better to send found?=false when ALL
items are missing.  This is an easy change by just adding a parameter that
will swap the 'AND Array Elements' with an 'OR Array Elements'.  I have made
the change on my computer and am wondering if anyone else thinks that is a
relevant change to make?
 
Let me know if it is and where/who I need to upload the altered VI...
 
Thanks,
Derrick

Derrik,
 
Thanks for the offer to help.  The DLL is the workhorse of this package and
that's what's left to be developed.  Rolf has done all of the work on the
DLL, so far, and Ian has contributed some feedback based on his experience
with pipes.  There are still a few loose ends as far as whether to go
through Win32 API or msvcrt for the pipe calls.

Well...  I didn't even see the pipes VIs and I have an application that
needs the same functionality.  I don't mind helping out with these, but need
to know what is/isn't working...  I have downloaded all the VIs and in the
pipes directory under cvs as well as the dll.  I do not have Visual C++ so I
won't be much help with the dll (though I do have cygwin if it can make the
dlls?).

Hello All,
 
Someone just started a thread in the LAVA forum called "System Exec With
Interaction?"
 
"I need to launch and control an existing commandline app from Labview. By
this I mean I need to be able to read it's STDOUT and send things to STDIN
while it is actually running..."

It looks like we might already have a good potential user base for the pipe
package :-)

Jim,
 
No duplicate for me. It seem to be only you.

Thanks.  I just set up a new email server and I am trying to get sendmail
