Hello, Week 10 Two weeks ago I reworked the asm highlighting in nemiver. I split asm highlighting into 2 definition files: the first one for the mixed source code and assembly, and the last one for pure assembly files. I also fixed nemiver since the code written in assembly wasn't highlighted at all, only the mixed source code and assembly was highlighted. While adding the asm highlighting support to nemiver I discovered a bug in gtksourceview which can make an application go into an infinite loop while allocating memory. It only needs few seconds to use all the RAM. I spent a little time debugging and fixing the bug, but hasn't sent the patch yet because I want to review it myself first.
I had also plan to work on the reverse debugging but after a few minutes of programming I discovered that the reverse debugging only works on specifics environments. Since my machine is not one of these environments I decided to do something else instead. I have also worked on small clean-up and UI enhancement patches. Week 11 Last week my mentor reviewed many of my patches, so I spent the first day reworking|pushing my changes to the official repository. My patch adding the layout manager was OK enough to start porting it to the gtk+3 branch, and only a few small changes was needed, mainly in the configure.ac. But I cannot submit it to review because there is critical asserts with the gdl-3 dynamic layout: (nemiver:29009): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed I spent all the week trying to figure out what is going wrong: I compiled the gdl library to debug, and discovered the assertion output message was generated during the desallocation of the GdlDock. It seems that the children 'GdlDockItem' I removed earlier in the code was still in an GdlDockMaster's hash table. And when desallocating the GdlDock (it's the last widget to get desallocated), the GdlDockItem-s are freed. But since I removed the widgets from the GdlDock, I manage the unreferencing of these widgets, so when the GdlDockMaster try to unref them it gets an invalid object. At the end of the week I was tired of this intense debugging so I decided to get back to adding new features to nemiver. I have worked on porting one of my patches to the gtk2 branch and added a contextual menu on the target terminal. It's now possible to copy, paste, and clear the terminal (It fix 4 bugs in bugzilla). This week For the two last weeks I will be working on small features, and this week I will be working on adding preferences to nemiver to customize the background color, text color, palette color, and fonts of the target terminal. I will also add the ability to use the gnome-terminal preferences. And of course I will continue debugging the dynamic layout.
