Re: I'm not very happy with the do {} while() statement in C
C++ vs. C; OOP vs. Procedural; Global vs. Local. These are different and unrelated things. You can use C and write OOP. You can use C++ and use Procedural. You can use lots of globals or none, in C or C++. Whatever you do, never be religious about it. Writing code that has 0 global variable for the...

Re: Tucano 7.00 Release - SMP version
Sorry to hear that. I downloaded WB2UCI. It has an option to send commands to engine using InitString. If you want to give another try, use the following below: [OPTIONS] Program=tucano_w64.exe InitString=option Threads=8\noption Hash=512\n This setup should send the threads and hash information dir...

I just released my engine with parallel search. I looked mostly at stockfish and demolito code. My implementation uses shared hash table. Each thread starts at the same time, and for even threads (thread id 2, 4, 6...) I change the depth to be searched so it creates different "search spots". The thr...

Re: Tucano 7.00 Release - SMP version
Hi, I am not familiar with WB2UCI, but it looks it should send the parameters using the comand line.
should the line be enclosed in quotes? e.g:
Program="tucano_w64.exe -hash 1024 -threads 8"
Hope this helps.

I used the gcc compiler, I need to review the compile parameters. Let me take a look. Alcides. Guenther and Graham, I recompil...
