C++11

Elliott presented a followup to Johann's presentation last meeting concerning useful features in the new C++11 standard. Almost all of the standard is implemented in the GCC 4.8.0 compiler, many features exist in earlier versions. Elliott broke the new features down into two categories: those related to programming safety and those related to convenience. See the slides for details.


JInventory

Serguei presented an update on his work on the JInventory system. He was able to read Fernando's spreadsheets and enter electronics module information into the database. He removed redundant or unneeded columns and improved checking and consistency. He implemented a much better (hierarchical) scheme for specifying the parent of an item. He removed slot items (unneeded) and everything related to slots, which now just become an attribute of an item instead of a separate item. He used the "geomloc" field to hold information to allow him to create graphical representations of areas in the halls, groups of racks, crates within the racks and the modules themselves. Using these web pages you can drill down from an area in the hall to get information on a specific module. He will move the documentation and other fields to the Brand-Format-Model table, where they really belong. Finally, concerning translation tables, we are evaluating whether to implement and use the cable database component developed by CLAS or to use Dave L's tables directly.
