It is time again for my weekly project update for 4760!
The good news is that I have my project works at 100% on my local machine. Of course, as soon as I throw it on Zion, things start going wrong. I have had difficulty accurately retrieving the correct exit values from the system exec calls. I’m getting some weird results too. It either always returns an exit code of 0 (meaning that the program was executing successfully) but without giving any output, or always returning 255 (meaning that the program couldn’t run – and probably wasn’t found in the path). It’s really odd…
I think I might be taking advantage of Office Hours on Monday to get Dr. Dan to take a look at my code. I’m thinking a second set of eyes might help see something I don’t. Since I tried deploying to Zion, I’ve been attempting to develop on Zion, without the use of my usual development and debugging tools. In the worst case scenario, I’m going to have to use gdb and figure out why it’s not working… but let’s hope strategically placing couts will make due…
