Opencpn Beta 3.3.1713

[rgleason]

3.3.1713
Have done a git pull and MSVC++ Clean, and full Rebuild (several times)
there is an instant Break that is persistant, something about a corrupted dll call... Unhandled exception at 0x00e9de8d in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000dc.

3.3.1715 Sean's Optimized
This seems to just quit with:
'opencpn.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x289c) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Is MSVC++ missing something or does it have a bad dll perhaps?

Attached are two docs with results from last night.

3.3.1713
Tried Clean ALL_Build and Rebuild ALL_Build. Then Build > Build Solution
Now get the following errors:
32>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
31>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'
30>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'
28>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'
27>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'
29>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'

And also cmake --build . shows an error for missing opencpn.exe
Have tried git fetch and git pull but that does not bring opencpn.exe and opencpn.lib down. I guess I need to force git to check all files and do that. Need to find the command.

git fetch --all
or git reset --hard origin/master

I have kept my hands off from 3.3.1713 and 3.3.1715.
Too many dust right now. You will have to be patient.
3.3.1712 works however.

Gerhard....

3.3.1715 is OK as long as you don't do texture compression, at least so far for me. I have changed the code so that this function defaults "OFF".

You can enable it in options->display.

It is worth a test.

Thanks
Dave

Dave,

I see about 68 commits since 3.3.1712 and it will take some time for me because I will implement them step by step to not destroy my working code.
So please be patient.

Thank you.

Have now done a fresh git clone, cmake and MSVC++

git clone git://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN.git opencpn-git2

CMD cd ...opencpn-git2
mkdir build
cmake .. (tinyxml library not found)
cmake --build . (see attached) 62 warnings 0 errors.
MSVC Build > Build Solution
Debug

Immediate Break
Immediate Break
Unhandled exception at 0x0141e1fd in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000dc.

See attached.

Both Sean's Optimized and Beta are doing this on my machine both with fresh git clones. I'd like to know what the problem is.

[rgleason]

Sean's Optimized Opencpn
========
git fetch and cmake, then MSVC and it get immediate break still with:
Unhandled exception at 0x0067e1fd in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000dc.

Same output.

====
Opencpn Beta - most current
====
after git fetch and cmake, with MSVC
Unhandled exception at 0x00aede8d in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000dc.

====

Is it possible I need to reinstall MSVC?
I have two graphic cards, Intel Accelerated and NVIDIA Geforce.
I use only the NVIDIA, but is it possible something has changed with the GL drivers etc, due to Sean's optimizations?

If I go back to earlier version, say 3.3.1418 and find out that I don't get these immediate breaks, that will tell me it is Sean's Optimizations. It seems like everything is busting up here...

By the way, the cmake --build . --config release versions seem to work fine!!!

[rgleason]

Tried an earlier version of Opencpn and got this.
===
First-chance exception at 0x01423ee6 in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000dc.

What if you compile in debug mode? What if you run with the /no_opengl switch?

Better yet, wait 20 minutes and I'll have a commit that I believe fixes this.. at least if this binary works:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ope..._experimental/

[rgleason]

Sean, I downloaded opencpn_3.3.1715_setup.exe
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ope..._experimental/

It is the similar to what I was testing earlier as compiled release, and with OpenGL off it is very responsive in zoom and scan and I find no resistance or slowness at all!
It was a bit jumpy at first, so I tried to Options > Charts > Loaded Charts Tab
Update and Scan Database -- it got hung up so there were some problems. Restarted the program and "Forced Full Database Rebuild" which ran through quickly and made pan and zoom even better with OpenGL not checked.

Then I checked OpenGL and it stopped responding. I picked to close the program and restarted it. I made sure the checks for Accelerated Graphics OpenGL >Options all were unchecked including Use Accel Panning, Texture Compression & Texture Compression Cache.

With OpenGL everything works fine I think but my mouse wheel is so sensitive the program zooms in and out a lot as I am trying to adjust, its quite incredible. Is there some way to adjust the sensitivity of the roller ball? - I think I need to go into the mouse settings for this change....

I think something hangs up when I check Accelerated Panning, but I don't really need that anyway because panning is very fast anyway. On a raspberry_pi it might be useful, but on this laptop these optimizations make it quite fluid. Bravo. Thank you. (more test later)

So to answer your question the Sourceforge v3.3.715 does work. I will git fetch again and see if my most favorite program MSVCC will agree to compile! (I don't know why I bash MS compiler, but I do. I really should resist.)

Thanks for your efforts!

Have NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M Driver Date 10/2/2012 v 9.18.13.697
with Intel HD Graphics Family Driver date 3.25.2011 v8.15.10.2342 but I have this turned off and use only the NVIDIA.

Okay, I've git fetched both Opencpn Beta and Opencpn Sean Optimized, done cmake with both ( 0 errors 0 warnings) and then MSVC build solution, then Debug.
Attached is the output from each, the Opencpn Chart window never opens, only get the Output in MSVC. Also the log file is not showing any entry for either version.

Also "cmake --build . --config release" completes with 0 errors 0 warnings. I need to try them next.

---I wonder if wxwidgets is corrupt or msvc corrupt, but the none debug version seems to run fine...? Really puzzled.

[rgleason]

Compiled Release Opencpn 3.3.1715 Beta
and Compiled Release 3.3.1713 Sean's Optimized
using cmake --build . --config release
Then copied opencpn.exe from respective complies into my binary Opencpn directory. Then start it up and it runs fine. See attached logs.

Oh, they both work, but my mouse wheel is overly sensitive zooming in and out, even when set to one line. Is there a way to get finer control? Otherwise the shift+ and - work okay. with Both Accel Graphis checked (no options checked) and also accel graphics opengl unchecked.

[rgleason]

So now I think I need to go back to something like v 3.3.1418 and see if this happens there with MSVC Debug.

[rgleason]

Mouse wheel sensitivity problem is more prominent with 3.3.1715 Beta than with 3.3.1713 Sean Optimized.
