Strange behaviour under Windows about berserk HOT 10 CLOSED

Fixed in #520

from berserk.

Interesting, I haven't touched my UCI code in a long time. I'll take a look and get back to you.

I've been able to reproduce your issue.

I compiled these binaries using clang-17 within clang64 MSYS2. Compiling these natively in Windows with gcc-13 results in the issue going away. I don't have an explanation as to why, but I've re-uploaded the binaries.

Feel free to close this issue if you see the issue go away too.

Sorry Jay, nothing's changed.

BTW, version 11.1 does the same (as expected). And under a GUI such as Cute Chess the engine plays OK.

Here is another snippet how it is here:

So every time I type a command I have to type some character to make the engine execute it.

Are you using a special prompt? I've tested these binaries in Window Terminal, CMD, Git Bash, and MSYS2 clang64. I cannot create the above issue you're mentioning anymore.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by special prompt. I started the engine under Windows File Manager and Total Commander and both did the same.
I have asked Ray to check if it is OK with him now.

Anyway, we could live with this issue for years (I have just noticed it exists at all), so no big deal. I may ask Shuffle author what he did to get rid of it.

from berserk.

I would appreciate that. Sorry for the issues.

from berserk.

This is what Arjun Basandrai, Shuffle author has written to me:

"In my case the error was caused by a line at the beginning of the uci loop that set the stdin buffer to NULL.

I see that in Berserk's code also, in uci.c on Line 286, (setbuf(stdin, NULL);) is added which must be causing the issue. Kindly ask the author to remove this line entirely and see if it fixes the issue."

I removed that line and it indeed helped!

from berserk.

I'll remove that line, but I don't think there is a need to update the binaries since they're okay within GUIs for now.

That's fine with me.
