COMPSCI 253: Intro to Systems Programming

Subversion creates a hidden metadata folder named .svn in the top-level of your working copy. You can check for it with the command

ls -a

Suppose that a student xyz has checked out the entire class folder, say 

svn checkout <a href="https://onyx.boisestate.edu/repos/students/xyz/253">https://onyx.boisestate.edu/repos/students/xyz/cs253</a> 
text_editor.run_code_snippet
text_editor.run_code_dismiss×

Then they create a p4 subfolder in it to work in and then submit from it, the instructor will not see that as a working copy because the hidden metadata folder would only be in the top-level folder cs253. In order to make p4 be a self-contained working copy with its own metadata, check it out separately when you are ready to submit. For example:

svn checkout https://onyx.boisestate.edu/repos/students/xyz/cs253/p4 p4-submit
cd p4-submit
submit ...

If you have already submitted, then don't worry about this for p4.

There is one more opportunity to receive 10 extra credit points if you haven't already received them by attending the Micron session or candidate talk.

In addition to the extra credit, this is a great opportunity to check out your future professors and provide feedback.

Mike Mayden will be covering hash tables and hash tables with chaining. This would be a great talk to attend to re-enforce hashing for your next programming assignment.

To receive the extra credit, attend the talk and send your professor an email letting them know you were there and please include your feedback/recommendation on the candidate's talk.

There are a few more opportunities to receive 10 extra credit points if you haven't already received them by attending the Micron session or candidate talk.

Two faculty candidates will be giving talks this week (see details below) and the final candidate will present next week (details to come). In addition to the extra credit, this is a great opportunity to check out your future professors and provide feedback.

Melanie Sparks (and the other lecturer candidate coming next week) will be covering hash tables and hash tables with chaining. This would be a great talk to attend to re-enforce hashing for your next programming assignment.

To receive the extra credit, attend the talk and send your professor an email letting them know you were there.

We had to make some additional changes to the write-up and starter files for p2.

• Added a note to the Valgrind extra credit section of the write-up about including the output in the README.
• Updated the doublyLinkedList Makefile to generate the doxygen documentation as part of the default make command.

Please make sure you grab the most up-to-date versions from your instructor's website.

All, 

It is fine to post small samples of code to help, but please do not post complete solutions to the projects.

Thanks,
