GLib GError console output
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
First of all, you guys rule for even attempting this port, and you doubly rule for doing it so well. But I have to mention, what's up with the obscenely high level of console output? You guys could make the product exactly 6.923103 octillion times more usable and 3.862325 pentillion times faster, if you could just suppress all that superfluous output! Do you realise how many processor cycles you are giving to the System Idle Process because of all your blocking on I/O to the screen? Jeepers! Please please please stop GLib from outputting all those silly error messages, I can hardly USE the program. +murkj
The symptoms are different, but the cause is the same: Mixing of c-runtimes.MSVC 7 doesn't allow to link against MSVCRT.DLL Hopefully this problem will be fixed in one of the next releases. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 106409 ***
I'm not proposing that you fix the *cause* of the errors (mixed c- runtimes), because that'll take ages and you are obviously working on that anyway. But what about a quick fix for now, while you work on the major issue? While there are so many errors, it must be possible to *suppress* the output so that at least there aren't so many calls to printf(). This may not fix the underlying problems, but it WOULD make the program HEAPS faster Then I could convince my boss to donate to you guys! doable?
