Fix compilation as c++11 by splitting out `using` declarations

wxPython: replace distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig

Fix error: reference to ‘popcount’ is ambiguous

I tried running for about 6 hours but I couldn't reproduce the failure. Is it possible that the bug is caused by bad hardware? Can you try running a tool like memtest86+ for several hours, and see if it finds any errors? I think there are two reasons to suspect this: The invalid address 0x4000000000 happens to be a null pointer with a single bit flipped. This looks like a symptom of faulty memory, rather than a typical memory error like use-after-free. When you ran the unoptimized binary, the error...

Hi. This sounds like a problem with SourceForge and how it decides which version to serve you (probably something related to browser User-Agent sniffing). I doubt it's something that can be fixed by the Golly maintainers. Fortunately you can find all files for the project under: https://sourceforge.net/projects/golly/files/golly/ The current Linux version is this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/golly/files/golly/golly-4.2/golly-4.2-gtk-64bit.tar.gz Also, many Linux distributions ship Golly...

I assume you're using the Linux binary distribution of golly? If so, I'd suggest trying either installing the official golly Debian package (https://packages.debian.org/buster/golly, though version 3.2 is somewhat out of date), or building the latest version from source (instructions are in docs/Build.html).

If the grid size is reasonable small, just enumerating all cells is fairly easy to do with a Lua script. See attachment for an example. Note that the output message shows up in the status bar on the top left (under "Generation=...").

Hi Hactar, I added support for reading multi-state Macrocell files in the HashLife algorithm, as long as only binary cell states (values 0 or 1) are used. This is read support only. The HashLife algorithm still writes the classic format with 8-square leaf cells for backward compatibility and because those files are often smaller (though the difference isn't very large). The commit is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/golly/code/ci/830453f273b952a200cf70e2c916135bbd7c0f67/ If you want to try it out,...
