64bit compile

[elcabesa]

I tried some bt2460 position but it happens always after lots of nodes.
I'm finding the problem using Thomas idea

[elcabesa]

in the end I found the bug in the evalutation of the king safety.
I used 64-kingposition instead of 63-kingposition to access an array from the black prospective.

now I have 32 and 64 bit compile with the same nodecount.
I really need to fill eval function with assert

Excellent!

Finding a bug like that is like finally getting relief from toothache by having the tooth pulled!

ohhh yes
it looks like the 64 bit compile is stronger too

I have another one question that goes a little out of topic...
where can i find a list of linux compatible engines? I'd like to run tournaments and test vajolet against other engines in linux using cutechess-cli.

can i use wine with cutechess-li under linux and make the windws engine run on linux? o souhld i found a group of linux friendly engines? the new vajolet is in the 2300 elo point range (ccrl 40/40)

I suggest modifying the program to print the node counts at each root move, then see which path had the different node count. Then at the next level along whatever move that was and so on.

Hello Marco,

There's a Linux version of Djinn available here:

Both with and without popcnt are available. Linux is my main (i.e. only) development environment. I cross-compile the Windows version using MingW under wine, and it works really well. Even the profiling/optimization features of gcc work.

BTW, I would *strongly* recommend that you look at compiling your program with Clang 3.4 using the "-fsanitize=address" option. It will catch a large number of these type of bugs.

good luck,
--tom

You can use wine with cutechess under linux for windows engines. I do this regularly.
