NURBS writes cabalistics codes to my term !

[JMR]

Hello,

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour : when plotting a nurbs, my program writes some strange things on to the terminal I've launched the applicatin from.

Here is my code :

g_print("Begin Nurbs \n");
gluBeginSurface(NurbsModel);
gluNurbsSurface(NurbsModel,
(GLint) surf->nku,
(GLfloat *) surf->knotsu,
(GLint) surf->nkv,
(GLfloat *) surf->knotsv,
(GLint) surf->npv * 4,
4,
(GLfloat *) surf->ppoint,
(GLint) surf->dgu 1,
(GLint) surf->dgv 1,
GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4);
gluEndSurface(NurbsModel);
g_print("End Nurbs \n");

(g_print are usefull to determine the origin of the problem...)

Graphical display is OK, but on terminal, I have :

Begin Nurbs
arc_ccw_turn, p = 0
case b
arc_ccw_turn, p = 0
case d
arc_ccw_turn, p = 0
case a
arc_ccw_turn, p = 0
case c
End Nurbs

Isn't it curious ?

I'm using Linux Mandrake 8.2 with XFree86-devel-4.2.0
libMesaGLU1-devel-4.0.1 and libgtkglarea5-devel-1.2.3
I have a nvidia TNT2 card with last nvidia driver.

Some idea ?

Thanks for any help...

curious ... but have you grep'd the source code for the MesaGLU for the string "arc_ccw_turn", or at least done a strings on the libraries to get a clue as to where it is coming from?

Do you have any "debug" flags of your own which just might match a MesaGLU debug flag and has inadvertantly switched on a debug mode for you!

Just some thoughts ... OK I have looked ...

in the file

Mesa-4.0.3/si-glu/libnurbs/internals/ccw.cc you will find ...


int
Subdivider::ccwTurn_sr( Arc_ptr j1, Arc_ptr j2 ) // dir = 1
{
register TrimVertex *v1 = &j1->pwlArc->pts[j1->pwlArc->npts-1];
register TrimVertex *v1last = &j1->pwlArc->pts[0];
register TrimVertex *v2 = &j2->pwlArc->pts[0];
register TrimVertex *v2last = &j2->pwlArc->pts[j2->pwlArc->npts-1];
register TrimVertex *v1next = v1-1;
register TrimVertex *v2next = v2+1;
int sgn;

assert( v1 != v1last );
assert( v2 != v2last );

#ifndef NDEBUG
dprintf( "arc_ccw_turn, p = %d\n", 0 );
#endif

.....

} else if( v1next->param[0] > v2next->param[0] ) {
#ifndef NDEBUG
dprintf( "case b\n" );
#endif
assert( v1->param[0] <= v2next->param[0] );

etc......

So, your lib has been built with NDEBUG undefined ...

Check your build again ...

Enjoy,

Rob.

I've tried grep on my own source code but not on the lib source code (I use precompiled libraries)

Anyway thanks for your help...
