13:38 Feature #644: Buchberger-Moeller: add option to stop as soon as 1 poly has been found
I wonder whether this proposal is actually what we want.
I imagine that the intended use is:
# generate (conceptu...

12:43 Feature #644 (New): Buchberger-Moeller: add option to stop as soon as 1 poly has been found
Add option to compute just the first gen of an ideal of points. This may be useful for computing implicitizations (f... John Abbott
11:58 Design #641 (Feedback): Clean test-FreeModule1
done:
test-FreeModule1 does not print
test-FreeModule2 prints because it calls the same functions with different co...

Similar comment applies to @test-FreeModule2.C@

11:28 Design #641 (Closed): Clean test-FreeModule1
@test-FreeModule1@ prints out many values rather than checking that the result is as expected.

11:47 Design #642 (Closed): Move code in test file into namespace CoCoA
For improved portability/robustness, move all code (except @main@) in test files into @namespace CoCoA@. John Abbott
11:30 Bug #640: What is test-Dynamic1.C
Note that @test-Dynamic1.C@ is not listed in the @Makefile@, and in its current form does not compile. Also its name... John Abbott
11:27 Bug #640: What is test-Dynamic1.C
It is a test for "dynamic-Groebner" written by Massimo Caboara a long time ago.
It is worth maintaining it because I...

11:10 Bug #640 (New): What is test-Dynamic1.C
I'm updating the tests manually.
What is the file @test-Dynamic1.C@?
Who wrote it? When?
If we want to keep i...

16:11 Design #619 (Feedback): Modulus (for CRTMill) ambiguous
Implemented; all tests pass. Updated doc.
Oddly, no tests called these fns; nor any examples -- rectify?

15:34 Feature #639: Shadow CoCoA namespace to help guarantee portability (without ambiguity)
Perhaps it is not so crucial to do this; or, at least, there may be a good compromise.
It is irritating when an am...

15:26 Feature #639: Shadow CoCoA namespace to help guarantee portability (without ambiguity)

15:21 Feature #639 (New): Shadow CoCoA namespace to help guarantee portability (without ambiguity)
Some problems of ambiguity in the CoCoALib source code have recently arisen. They have appeared because recent versi... John Abbott

12:44 Feature #638: Time limit: let user specify time limit for a computation
I'm not sure about your @TimeOut@ proposal. We should talk about details before making any decision. I'm inclined t... John Abbott
12:39 Feature #638 (In Progress): Time limit: let user specify time limit for a computation
I agree that GBasis computation is the obvious candidate (are there any others?).
I am unclear about whether the tim...

11:02 Feature #638: Time limit: let user specify time limit for a computation
There is a built-in system "timer/alarm" mechanism which works via signals; I do not know much about this (incl. how... John Abbott
10:51 Feature #638: Time limit: let user specify time limit for a computation
What exactly does Robbiano want?

John Abbott
10:45 Feature #638 (Closed): Time limit: let user specify time limit for a computation
Robbiano asked whether it would be possible to allow a user to specify a (CPU) time limit for a computation.
Discuss!

(see #631 comment 5) I think the problem goes away if the code is put inside @namespace CoCoA@.
