Instead use a delay:

<script type=”text/javascript”>

function RedirectAfterDownload()
{
window.location = “http://google.com”;
}

function OnDownloadClick()
{
// redirects after 1 second
setTimeout(‘RedirectAfterDownload()’, 1000);
}

</script>

Then to use: <a href=”myfile.exe” onclick=”OnDownloadClick();”>Download File!</a>

The power of printf reveals all. Hmm.

It doesn’t crash though. Weird graphical excitations occur instead. Bugs which cause crashes are the *nice* ones. This is far more insidious.

So here’s a C++ class to keep a running average:

class InfiniteRunningAverage
{
	double average;
	double valueCount;

public:
	InfiniteRunningAverage()
	{
		average = 0.0;
		valueCount = 1;
	}

	void Add(double value)
	{
		average = average * ((valueCount-1.0)/valueCount) + value * (1.0/valueCount);

		valueCount += 1.0;
	}

	double Get()
	{
		return average;
	}
};

Hmm. I guess eventually valueCount will get so big that new values will have no effect. So it can’t really be considered an infinite running average.

make[1]: *** [obj/DebugSingleDLL/ode/fastlsolve.o] Error 2
make: *** [ode] Error 2

After unsuccessfully searching the ODE mailing list archives for “fastlsolve”, google revealed to me that the file which could not be found was actually cc not fastlsolve.c (and so CreateProcess was failing).

Evidently I don’t have cc on my system. I’m not even sure what cc is. The C compiler?

Anyway the quick and simple fix is to make a copy of gcc and name it cc. Is that an OK thing to do? Who knows. But it works!
