• Simplest possible voting/synchronization algorithm

  - by Domchi

  What would be a simplest algorithm one or more people could use to decide who of them should perform some task? There is one task, which needs to be done only once, and one or more people. People can speak, that is, send messages one to another. Communication must be minimal, and all people use the exact same algorithm. One person saying "I'm doing it" is not good enough since two persons may say it at a same time. Simplest that comes to my mind is that each person says a number and waits a bit. If somebody responds in that time, the person with lower number "wins" and does the task. If nobody responds, person says that she's doing it and does it. When she says that she does it, everybody else backs off. This should be enough to avoid two persons doing the task in the same time (since there is wait/handhake period), but might need a "second round" if both persons say the same number. Is there something simpler? For those curious, I'm trying to synchronize several copies of SecondLife LSL script to do something only once.

• ARM Assembly - Converting Endianness

  - by SoulBeaver

  Hello people! This is currently a homework project that me and my teammate are stuck on. We haven't been given much of an introduction into Assembly, and this is supposed to be our first homework exercise. The task is to create a program that converts 0xAABBCCDD into 0xDDCCBBAA. I'm not looking for an answer, as that would defeat the purpose, but we are getting severely frustrated over the difficulty of this stupid thing. We think we have a good start in creating a viable solution, but we just cannot come up with the rest of the program. First, we mask every single tupel (aa), (bb), (cc), (dd) into a different register: LDR R0, LittleEndian // 0xAABBCCDD AND R1, R0, #0xFF000000 // 0xAA AND R2, R0, #0x00FF0000 // 0xBB AND R3, R0, #0x0000FF00 // 0xCC AND R4, R0, #0x000000FF // 0xDD Then we try to re-align them into the R0 register, but hell if we could come up with a good solution... Our best effort came from: ORR R0, R1, LSL #24 ORR R0, R2, LSL #8 ORR R0, R3, LSR #8 ORR R0, R4, LSR #24 which produced 0xBBBBCCDD for some odd reason; we really don't know. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Again, we are asking for help, but not for a solution. Cheers!

• Lablgtk2 Installation on Windows.

  - by Animesh

  Hi there people, I am currently relearning Ocaml and am in the need of a good editor. There is a new editor from OcamlForge: OCamlEditor http://ocamleditor.forge.ocamlcore.org/. Prerequisite for installation is Lablgtk2. Installing Lablgtk2 on windows is not straight forward and there is good instruction here: http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/lsl/install-win32.txt I have completed the first two steps and in the third step, as warned, it is failing on the native code version. This is where I am left stranded. How do I check to see if the assembler is on my path? What am I missing here? Please help me move forward from this point. Sincere thanks. Animesh

• How to debug EXC_BAD_ACCESS that occurs only on release target for an iPhone app?

  - by Bobby Moretti

  I'm developing an iPhone application. I have an EXC_BAD_ACCESS that occurs only in the release target; when I build the debug target the exception does not occur. However, when I set the NSZombieEnabled environment variable to YES, I still get the EXC_BAD_ACCESS with no further information. Is it even possible for NSZombieEnabled to work when executing the release target? I don't see why not, since gdb is running in both cases... Update: here is a printout of the top of the stack: #0 0x33369ebc in objc_msgSend () #1 0x3144f968 in -[EAInputStream _streamEventTrigger] () #2 0x3144fe78 in __streamEventTrigger () #3 0x338ae3a6 in CFRunLoopRunSpecific () #4 0x338adc1e in CFRunLoopRunInMode () #5 0x32ed6966 in -[NSRunLoop(NSRunLoop) runMode:beforeDate:] () #6 0x00005b06 in -[IOStreamDelegate removeMsg:] (self=0x142cc0, _cmd=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>, message=0x2fffe544) at /Users/robertmoretti/Documents/XXXXXXX/IOStreamDelegate.m:191 Here is a gdb session from inside the objc_msgSend call at the top: (gdb) p/x $r0 $6 = 0x3100000 (gdb) x/s $r1 0x32d7cff8: "release" (gdb) disassemble $pc Dump of assembler code for function objc_msgSend: 0x33369ea8 <objc_msgSend+0>: teq r0, #0 ; 0x0 0x33369eac <objc_msgSend+4>: moveq r1, #0 ; 0x0 0x33369eb0 <objc_msgSend+8>: bxeq lr 0x33369eb4 <objc_msgSend+12>: push {r3, r4, r5, r6} 0x33369eb8 <objc_msgSend+16>: ldr r4, [r0] 0x33369ebc <objc_msgSend+20>: ldr r5, [r4, #8] 0x33369ec0 <objc_msgSend+24>: ldr r6, [r5] 0x33369ec4 <objc_msgSend+28>: add r3, r5, #8 ; 0x8 0x33369ec8 <objc_msgSend+32>: and r5, r6, r1, lsr #2 0x33369ecc <objc_msgSend+36>: ldr r4, [r3, r5, lsl #2] 0x33369ed0 <objc_msgSend+40>: teq r4, #0 ; 0x0 0x33369ed4 <objc_msgSend+44>: add r5, r5, #1 ; 0x1 0x33369ed8 <objc_msgSend+48>: beq 0x33369efc <objc_msgSend+84> 0x33369edc <objc_msgSend+52>: ldr r12, [r4] 0x33369ee0 <objc_msgSend+56>: teq r1, r12 0x33369ee4 <objc_msgSend+60>: and r5, r5, r6 0x33369ee8 <objc_msgSend+64>: bne 0x33369ecc <objc_msgSend+36> 0x33369eec <objc_msgSend+68>: ldr r12, [r4, #8] 0x33369ef0 <objc_msgSend+72>: teq r4, r4 0x33369ef4 <objc_msgSend+76>: pop {r3, r4, r5, r6} 0x33369ef8 <objc_msgSend+80>: bx r12 0x33369efc <objc_msgSend+84>: pop {r3, r4, r5, r6} 0x33369f00 <objc_msgSend+88>: b 0x33369f04 <objc_msgSend_uncached> End of assembler dump.

• Decompiling a *.DLL to assembly for .net in delphi 4

  - by Lex Dean

  I love my Delphi 4 but at the same time I see the need to talk to windows .net This is a recompiled dll that I found on sourceforge.net/projects/delphinet/ (DelphiNet03.zip) by some nice people that fund the dll from some were. The real answer is to make this dll so that fits into Delphi as true Delphi code, and not a dll clip on. So we can make objects that use dot net in Delphi. Because I’m not an assembly freak, I’m freaking out a little with a wee sweek for help! 1/ How do I link the asm code with the data info at the bottom of this code. Can some one show me which calls to look for to make this link to data. 2/ I need to find the beginning of all the procedures and functions, but I cannot find a ‘RET’ statement. And what line is the beginning statement in this code. 3/ How do I identify were the jump statements go to, put them into Delphi format In this code it looks I can do:- jle 402890h \1000:00402854 7e3a add [eax], al \1000:00402856 0000 …………………………………………….. or ch, [edi+3eh] \1000:0040288d 0a6f3e xrefs first: 1000:00402854 number : 1 \; add [eax], al \1000:00402890 0000 //******************************* jle @@21 \\1000:00402854 7e3a add [eax], al \\1000:00402856 0000 …………………………………………….. or ch, [edi+3eh] \1000:0040288d 0a6f3e xrefs first: 1000:00402854 number : 1 \; @@21 add [eax], al \1000:00402890 0000 Is that a correct conversion. I think a xrefs first: 1000:004021d1 number : 1 is the best to follow 4/ I need a good reference on 8086 up assembly code that I can print out and get to learn properly. I found this asm decomplier of http://www.cronos.cc/ that is so similar to Delphi that it only needs a little more convertion to get it into Delphi asm I think. It’s only taken me 3 hours to get the file into TMemo and to write a few lines to chop the line over in a stream and reload the memo.

A kernel/driver conflict perhaps? I don't see any processes in R or D state that might inflate the load averages artificially, I realise it may be considered low in an 8 thread system but its higher at idle than any normal behaviour I've previously come across. Thanks in advance for your time.
