Komodo 64 bit Windows Hang?

[brianr]

Tried the JA download.
32 bit seems to work just fine.
64 bit gives this (under Vista)

Code: Select all

Komodo version 1.0 JA
uci
UCI_k          =  0x00002b610,

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

I've observed this behaviour in console mode with the x64 builds
as well, but it engine works fine when running through a chess gui.

This happened to me too Jim under Windows 7. But then I don't play in console so I can avoid what I don't like.

It is very strong btw. I'm going to see if I can trick it.

Yes, 64 bit version works fine under a GUI such as Arena.

Perhaps the input polling does not handle the two different Windows approaches. Under a GUI PeekNamedPipe() can be used, but
GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents() is used for Console Mode.

Komodo 64 sounds a lot like Commodore 64 !!

Glad to see the old computers making a comeback

Joking regards and thanks a lot for the new engine.

In console mode you have to press uci and then space bar and then enter. Without a space after you will get the output you got.

Still does not work with "uci<space>" input.

It's a compiler optimization bug.
With the Intel compiler if I use switch /Os instead of /Ot bug disappears.
The problem is engine runs a third slower.
I'll try Msvc and see if bug is still there.
