Hello:

Of course, you must be in the know of the options included by Jaap Weidemann. Anyway, I found his last release in the Winboard Forum. It includes interesting options to create books with elo filter:

Thank you for your useful work in improving polyglot....

Hi Bob
Thanks for the bugreport.I'll fix 'adapter.ccp'

As for microsoft:
I compiled pg with vc c++ 2005 express.
No problems printing pv strings.

I did some testing with all the Microsoft compilers I have access to.

VS2005: appeared to work properly with or without the proposed fix

VS2003, VS2002, VC++ 6.0: proposed fix required to work properly

VC++ 4.x and lower: didn't compile either way. heh.

I tested the compiled exe under windows 98se with virtual pc and it seems to works well.

Thanks for the effort. But this problem should be evident immediately on the same OS it was compiled on. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.

I tested some more compilers and found out that to make this build properly, you have to do two things:

1) re-enable S64_FORMAT in adapter.cpp as discussed previously.
2) force S64_FORMAT to "%I64d" for most compilers targeting windows.

For 2), this means replacing line 30 in util.h from:

Code: Select all

#ifdef _MSC_VER

to:

Code: Select all

#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(WINDOWS)

That allowed me to produce a working EXE for all the Microsoft compilers, plus an older version of ming I had, and current ones used by dev-cpp. I assume you also want S64_FORMAT to be "%I64d" for intel compilers, but unfortunately, I can't test that as I have none.

Hi Bob

Code:
#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(WINDOWS)

No exceptions allowed eh?
So its true then,Microsoft needs one with a hammer on its head
Thanks for the good work

#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(WINDOWS)

I suspect, and my first google search hit sorta confirmed this, that the common element here is linking with msvcrt, which apparently VS2005 doesn't do anymore by default. If that's what's really the case here, then of course to be correct, the preprocessor should test for exactly that, if possible. I don't know how though. But since the method VS2005 uses appears to work either way, using "%I64d" for any windows build seems an acceptable solution.

Is this now the same version as 1.4w10UCIb13, or a direct successor of it, or are we forking?

This is a successor to 1.4w10,the changes are relative small.
It should be easy to merge with 1.4w10UCIbxx
