      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 56282.sync_sys@1:103/705 2b4481b4       PID: Synchronet 3.20a-Linux master/e93b6dfa6 Aug 22 202 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.20-Linux master/984c371ae Sep 06 2024 20:48 GCC 12.2.0       BBSID: VERT       CHRS: ASCII 1       https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/782#note_5585              The sysop confirmed the first suggested fix didn't work.              For the next attempted fix I created an ugly function to unmask in multiple       steps with lots of checks. I haven't heard back from the sysop yet, but I got       a raspi working under qemu, and the fix didn't work:       https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/aa419b47f090be8fcc       23ba811304b48182b3064?view=inline              By "doesn't work" I mean it gets through the function without throwing, which       means the various values are never undefined or out-of-range, but the input is       garbled nonetheless.              After trying random shit I found that the modulus operation seems to be the       culprit, because when I manually track the mask index it works (at least under       qemu, hopefully it'll work on real hardware too):       https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/da0597791fa88035fe       1c75683b22d7df828b1b3?view=inline              Weird thing is the version from last year that works for him uses the same       modulus math that the broken version uses. And the issue echicken ran into       doesn't use modulus at all. My commit that broke things added a for loop, and       echicken's code was also in a for loop, so maybe the real culprit is broken       for loop optimization?       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206       SEEN-BY: 229/317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
