Old Announcements

• The turnin procedure has been modified to say how your oberon.csh and testcases should be included [2/5].

• Special project 1 lab hours are now posted. Some hours will be cancelled next week to compensate [2/4].

• The turnin procedure is up, and the turn-in area is ready for your projects [2/3].

• Class slide postings are up to date, and I posted Adam's week 4 slides under the new "Discussion Notes" link, below "Lecture Notes" on the left navigation bar [1/30].

• Thanks for your patience with the problems with ActiveClass. We believe we have them fixed, and we'll try again on Tuesday [1/23].

• Class slide postings are up to date, and I posted Adam's week 3 slides under a new link "Discusion Notes", below "Lecture Notes" on the left navigation bar [1/23].

• Under 'Tools' to the left, please note two new links, one about JUnit, and one about a regression script. Both can help you with your testing [1/21].

• Unix group requests through Weds Noon have been processed, and should come through shortly from ACS. One from last week was held up because I had to approve overriding an old partnership [1/21].

• I've fixed the permissions on my 'Slides/Old' directory so that they are readable now. Sorry about that [1/20].

• Two comments regarding today's lecture. First, if you refer directly to STO's m_type like I did, you need to make it a protected field, rather than private. If you want to keep it private, then you can just call the type() method (perhaps you call it getType()). Second, there was a typo in the Check1 notes for OpSTO::resultType(), where the code read "return a.type().resultType(a.type(), b.type());", but should read "return this.type().resultType(a.type(), b.type());".

• Unix group requests through Sunday night have been processed. You can check to see if yours is set up by typing "groups" and seeing if a new one has been added for you. I have just submitted requests between Monday and now, and should be ready tomorrow or Friday [1/14].

• I posted Tuesday's lecture slides, slightly improved from today's presentation [1/13]. See also announcement on discussion board about your compiler's design.

• I posted Thursday's lecture slides (appears as a link under Lecture Notes on the left). I won't always announce such postings, since it happens so often [1/11].

• Here are instructions on how to get CVS working inside Eclipse [1/11].

• Here are some instructions on how to get Eclipse to load and compile the 131B starter code. Now updated for running on windows [1/8].

• Welcome to Winter CSE131B! Please check out our Administrivia page for information about times, locations, and contact information.

• Projects are done in teams of 2 people. If you need to establish a Unix group for your project team, please e-mail cs131f@ieng9.ucsd.edu with your team's ieng9 e-mail addresses. BTW, it is often dangerous to directly share your files. Consider using RCS or CVS (see links at bottom left) to get good file version management [1/5, WGG].

• The project starter code will be available on ieng9.ucsd.edu from /home/solaris/ieng9/cs131f/public/cse131b.tar.gz
