Hello flok,

your engine https://www.vanheusden.com/cpp1/ crashes immediately
after embedding it under WinBoard-protocol.

Your other program POS 1.20 uses commandline-parameter
--io-mode xboard to run normally on Arena interface.


My question: Is anything wrong with CPP1´s commandline-parameter? A dash break (-) too few etc.?

Best wishes,
Norbert

The commandline parameter is ok.
It sends the same under Winboard, but it seems WB now ignores this if no move yet was played and the game starts normally.

BTW this also is true with protover 1.

Code: Select all

recognized 'normal' (-1) as variant normal
recognized 'normal' (-1) as variant normal
shuffleOpenings = 0
Version: WinBoard 4.8.0b + CPP1
Reset(1, 0) from gameMode 0
recognized 'normal' (-1) as variant normal
GameEnds(0, (null), 2)
shuffleOpenings = 0
StartChildProcess (dir="c:\Engines\WB\CPP1") CPP1 -iomode xboard

I think it interprets the command 'easy' as a move! (a -> 1, y -> I. In decimal the ascii code for 'a' = 97 and for '1' = 49, a difference of 48, while 'y'= 121 and 'I' = 73, also a difference of 48).

I think it interprets the command 'easy' as a move! :shock: (a -> 1, y -> I. In decimal the ascii code for 'a' = 97 and for '1' = 49, a difference of 48, while 'y'= 121 and 'I' = 73, also a difference of 48).

I think you are right that is the funniest bug I have ever seen.
