[OLPC-devel] Summer of Code progress report: week #4/12

[Manu Cornet]

Hi all !

I updated my project's wiki page :

http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php/GTK_for_OLPC

After making the "cursor blinks" small enhancements (cursor stops
blinking after a few seconds) and getting a little familiar with GTK's
code, I'm working on a "GTK theme/engine torturer" that resizes and
redraws widgets thousands of time to detect performance issues and
leaks in themes/engines. It also calls all the possible gtk_paint_*
functions with all combinations of unusual parameters to see if the
engine crashes.

The project is nearly finished, the "widget torture" part works fine,
I still need to test more gtk_paint_* functions to be exhaustive, but
the big part of the work is done. Future plans will probably include
merging the project with the "Widget profiler" to get precise time
measures.

I'm now in GUADEC at Barcelona (thus the late report, sorry about
that) and I'm spending some time with my mentor (Federico Mena
Quintero), it's pretty cool!!

Cheers,
Manu
