- [quote="squareroot"]312 centimeters is 122.834646... and your program is casting this fraction ('double') into an integer. Whenever you cast a double into an integer, it rounds down. So 122.83 [i]should[/i] be rounded up to 123 inches (which happens to be 3yd, 1ft, 3in) but is instead rounded down to 122 (3yd, 1ft, 2in). I've never actually written an C, so I don't know what it uses for rounding, but you should be doing something like inches = round(centim
- 16:05:47 [TabAtkins_]
- EDIT: Okay, looks like you'll want to #include <math.h>, and then just write... inches = round(centimeters/CENT_PER_INCH). Just like I guessed before. :-P[/quote]

- 16:08:32 [TabAtkins_]

- arronei: We may not define all the terms that I use, but we use them extensively in the spec.
- 16:08:56 [TabAtkins_]
- arronei: We should probably define them.
- 16:09:28 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: Action on everyone - review the images for 154.
- 16:09:41 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: Next issue is 173, on Elika.
- 16:09:41 [glazou]

- 16:10:24 [dbaron]
- dbaron has joined #css
- 16:10:47 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: I think the first part is okay. We need to decide on the second part.
- 16:10:56 [dbaron]
- what's the url?
- 16:11:00 [TabAtkins_]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Sep/0440.html
- 16:11:15 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: [lists the options for the second part from the email]
- 16:12:15 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: I don't think either choice will end up doing much of anything anyway; if anyone's putting a linebreak in generated content they need to escape them anyway, and the spec uses \A all over th eplace for it.
- 16:12:38 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: So I don't think this is a compat or author issue, so we should just choose whichever option is easier for implementors.
- 16:13:31 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: I don't have a favored opinion.
- 16:13:44 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: I think we handle our generated content the same as DOM text, generally.
- 16:13:53 [TabAtkins_]
- arronei: Basically the same in IE.
- 16:14:08 [dbaron]
- we could send it through a different path if we had to first, but preferable not to.
- 16:14:12 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: So option B should match the current practice?
- 16:14:49 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: This does mean that it's impossible to represent a carriage return in a CSS document.
- 16:15:10 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: I doubt that's important for anyone ever, so it's okay.

- 16:31:28 [glazou]

- 16:32:10 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: This needs layout people to look at this.
- 16:32:27 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: But elika, arronei, and arronei's coworker all looked at this together and thought it was probably good.
- 16:32:51 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: I believe the change is fine with me, too.
- 16:33:16 [TabAtkins_]
- RESOLVED: Accept fantasai's change for issue 203.

- 16:33:53 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: Agenda item 3, what should we do with min()/max()?
- 16:34:07 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: All of the issues I found with min/max are issues with mixing % and lengths.
- 16:34:30 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: There were two ways to fix them - one was to remove min/max entirely, and the other was to not allow % in min.
- 16:34:54 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: There are cases where we reverse percentages for intrinsic widths.
- 16:35:18 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: So if you have "width:100px, margin-right:50%", its container is 200px to satisfy the conditions.
- 16:35:40 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: There's no sensical way to do that with min/max, because there are likely multiple solutions and it's difficult to distinguish between them.
- 16:35:40 [miketaylr]
- miketaylr has joined #css
- 16:35:49 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: There were other issues that I'd have to dig up.
- 16:36:26 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: I say we do what fantasai suggests and mark it as at-risk.
- 16:37:04 [TabAtkins_]
- szilles: That means we'd have to drop the feature, though. We wouldn't have the choice to just drop % from the feature.
- 16:37:11 [TabAtkins_]
- howcome: We can just list both.
- 16:37:59 [TabAtkins_]
- howcome: Also you wanted to move this to Last Call, right?
- 16:38:07 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: Yeah.
- 16:38:24 [TabAtkins_]
- howcome: And you're willing to be co-editor?
- 16:38:27 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: Sure.
- 16:38:39 [TabAtkins_]
- howcome: I think the two of us should review it through.
- 16:38:44 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: Agreed.
- 16:38:56 [TabAtkins_]
- RESOLVED: Mark min/max as at-risk, and mark % in min/max as at-risk.

- dethbakin has joined #css
- 16:46:14 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: I've taken over the list module. It extends the number of style types from 6 or 7 to around 100, but it still ends up still missing a number of minority languages.
- 16:46:32 [glazou]

- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Sep/0381.html
- 16:47:59 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: Rather than just forever extending the module with new types and still missing things, I've proposed that we can address all but 1 of the style-types with a set of 7 algorithms, which we can then expose to the user so they can create their own list-styles.
- 16:48:25 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: I don't think you can get Hebrew simply like that.
- 16:48:41 [Zakim]
- -SteveZ
- 16:48:42 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: Actually, it's fairlyu simple to do. I have it written down already.
- 16:48:49 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: Including the forbidden words and such?
- 16:49:34 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: Yes to the 16/17 thing. The other forbidden words aren't forbidden in a list context, according to some hebrew i18n people at google.
- 16:49:58 [TabAtkins_]
- sylvaing: Is everyone okay with the 10/15 deadline for implementation reports?
- 16:50:06 [TabAtkins_]
- TabAtkins_: Google should be cool with that.
- 16:50:20 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: Not sure if we'll be able to. It's an awful lot of work.
- 16:50:44 [TabAtkins_]
- sylvaing: Can you be more specific?
- 16:51:08 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: It's a question of resources at Mozilla, I think David said before.
- 16:52:10 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: I think that Tab and I can possibly help if we can dig up HP's system and ask for volunteers to help with the report, because then it's easy for one person to submit a small number of results.
- 16:52:29 [TabAtkins_]
- sylvaing: So it sounds like we can get an impl report from Google. Maybe from Moz. What about Opera?
- 16:52:34 [TabAtkins_]
- howcome: I can't commit to a date.
- 16:52:46 [bradk]
- What about Apple?
- 16:53:09 [smfr]
- i imagine chrome's results would be equivalent to apple's (both webkit)
- 16:53:24 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: I'm a bit puzzled, because this is the last effort of a long line. Everything depends on this last effort.
- 16:53:35 [bradk]
- I thought there was some forking between Safari and Chrome
- 16:53:44 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: All the browser vendors are interested in seeing CSS2.1 become a Rec, but it *cannot* happen without this effort.
- 16:53:51 [smfr]
- bradk: very little and the css/layout level
- 16:53:53 [arronei]
- Actually Chrome and Safari have different results. If Apple can also submit an implementaiton report that would be nice.
- 16:54:11 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: I understand the resource issues, but it's very important we get this. It would be a very bad signal if we are late with CSS2.1 just because of impl reports.
- 16:54:42 [smfr]
- arronei: probably due to different snapshots of the webkit code
- 16:54:45 [TabAtkins_]
- JohnJansen: At the FtF, Moz said it would be okay to do impl reports 30 days after test suite completion.
- 16:54:52 [Zakim]
- -bradk
- 16:54:58 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: I'm not sure those two discussions were related.
- 16:55:28 [TabAtkins_]
- sylvaing: So should we move the date or what? It sounds like we had agreement on the date, but apparently only 2 browsers are going to make it.
- 16:55:44 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: I think we should leave the date as the target, and I'll talk with Tab after the call to see what we can do.
- 16:56:04 [TabAtkins_]
- dbaron: Also I think that looking at an impl report will provide feedback on the test suite.
- 16:56:09 [TabAtkins_]
- sylvaing: Right, but we need impl report first.
- 16:56:24 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: I'd like to remind everyone that if we shift a lot, we'll be in very bad shape in the w3c.
- 16:56:41 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: We publicly said that the impl reports will be ready on the 15 of oct. w3c staff read it.
- 16:56:57 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: So if we shift, we cannot shift a lot. We still need to be in PR before the end of the year.
- 16:57:08 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: Listening to what david said, I'm scared if it's still possible.
- 16:57:16 [Zakim]
- -jdaggett
- 16:57:34 [TabAtkins_]
- sylvaing: At TPAC we shouldn't be worrying about 2.1, we should be taking it to PR. I'm scared that it won't happen now.
- 16:57:53 [TabAtkins_]

- gsnedders: ok, then maybe the READMEs should be udpated
- 18:08:29 [gsnedders]
- I could just be wrong :
- 18:08:31 [gsnedders]
- * :)
- 18:08:47 [smfr]
- gsnedders: also, http://wiki.csswg.org/test/css2.1/harness describes the "old" system without saying what the new one is
- 18:08:51 [smfr]
- it's all such a mess
- 18:08:56 [gsnedders]
- Yeah :(
- 18:09:11 [gsnedders]
- The new build system is currently broken, fantasai said she'd fix it yesterday/today
- 18:09:25 [smfr]
- this doesn't help with getting implementation reports out
- 18:09:39 [gsnedders]
- Indeed
- 18:24:37 [dbaron]
- Speaking of which, is there a good way to find out if the tests that I contributed have been included in the test suite or not?
- 18:25:35 [gsnedders]
- dbaron: As of whenever the WG decided it, all submitted tests are in, whether reviewed or not
- 18:25:44 [hyatt]
- hyatt has joined #css
- 18:27:22 [dbaron]
- so I contributed a test for 10.3.3, for example, and I don't see it in the previous release of the test suite.
- 18:27:29 [dbaron]
- Can I tell if it's going to be in the one that happens today?
- 18:29:09 [gsnedders]
- dbaron: If it's in /contributors/dbaron/submitted/css2.1 or /approved/css2.1/src it should be in, I think
- 18:31:09 [dbaron]
- it's in /contributors/mozilla/incoming/css2.1/, looks like
- 18:31:32 [gsnedders]
- Then it's not where it should be if it's actually been submitted to the testsuite
- 18:31:41 [gsnedders]
- (which is s/incoming/submitted/)
- 18:31:43 [dbaron]
- should I move it?
- 18:31:48 [gsnedders]
- dbaron: Go ahead
- 18:34:27 [dbaron]
- fantasai, should I do that?
- 18:35:58 [dbaron]
- it looks like a bunch of the ones in incoming were copied to submitted
- 18:36:00 [dbaron]
- but not all of them
- 18:36:19 [dbaron]
- and I'm not sure how I can tell which
- 18:37:45 [Zakim]
- Zakim has left #CSS
- 18:57:51 [kennyluck]
- kennyluck has joined #CSS
- 20:41:36 [jdaggett]
- jdaggett has joined #css
- 20:58:58 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I renamed a lot of the tests
- 20:59:06 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I have a patch against Mozilla trunk for that
- 20:59:23 [dbaron]
- fantasai, so are there a lot of tests in two different locations in the svn repo?
- 20:59:37 [fantasai]
- dbaron: In some cases I might have not included the test due to one already being in the test suite for the same exact thing
- 20:59:40 [fantasai]
- dbaron: Shouldn't be
- 21:00:02 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I copied over the 2.1 tests into submitted/ from hg trunk
- 21:00:10 [fantasai]
- dbaron: they weren't copied over from incoming
- 21:00:18 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I studied your scripts for that
- 21:00:22 [fantasai]
- dbaron: so it should be the same thing
- 21:43:49 [howcome]
- howcome has left #css
- 22:22:37 [Curt`]
- Curt` has joined #css
- 23:32:58 [jdaggett]
- jdaggett has joined #css
- 23:45:36 [fantasai]
- smfr: Actually, it does say what the new one is. You just skimmed past the paragraph that said it.
- 23:45:53 [fantasai]
- smfr: I deleted the old instructions and have replaced them with more details on the new one.
- 23:46:01 [smfr]
- fantasai: excellent, thanks
- 23:46:06 [fantasai]
- smfr: I haven't tested the system yet, there might be some bugs with building currently
- 23:46:14 [smfr]
- fantasai: so what's the recommended way to actually run the tests?
- 23:46:28 [smfr]
- should I make them myself?
- 23:46:36 [smfr]
- also, which, if any test harness is working?
- 23:46:36 [fantasai]
- smfr: No, just wait until tomorrow. :)
- 23:46:43 [fantasai]
- smfr: I should have a build out by then
- 23:46:49 [fantasai]
- smfr: I don't think any of the test harnesses are working
- 23:47:03 [fantasai]
- smfr: tabatkins is assigned to setting one of them up
- 23:47:07 [smfr]
- ok
- 23:47:21 [smfr]
- i'm unlikely to run the tests without one; just too much work
- 23:47:31 [fantasai]
- smfr: understandable
- 23:47:40 [smfr]
- even pass/fail buttons and some local storage would be better than nothing
- 23:48:04 [fantasai]
- smfr: If Tab can get the harness to work, we can do better than that :)
- 23:48:07 [smfr]
- fantasai: ideally we'd have some public website, and we could crowdsource this
- 23:48:23 [fantasai]
- smfr: That's the idea behind the current harness
- 23:48:25 [smfr]
- use mechanical turk :)
- 23:48:54 [fantasai]
- smfr: it records pass/fail results, and can be set to serve up tests with the least number of results recorded
- 23:49:12 [smfr]
- fantasai: stores pass/fail per user agent?
- 23:49:16 [fantasai]
- smfr: I'm hoping Tab can figure out how to set it up
- 23:49:20 [fantasai]
- smfr: yes, by UA string
- 23:49:32 [smfr]
- then there's the question of what to test. latest safari release, or webkit nightly? mac or windows?
- 23:49:45 [fantasai]
- smfr: That I don't know. Up to you.
- 23:49:53 [fantasai]
- smfr: I think we do allow nightlies to qualify
