Subject: Let LaunchSearch() also start ponder search
X-Git-Tag: v4.0
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=801e160fe3c49c8b8756729acc9066adc0e9b388;p=uci2wb.git

Let LaunchSearch() also start ponder search

Ponder searches are normally started when HandleEngineOutput() receives
the result of thinking, but this does not cover the case where a user
switches on pondering while the engine is idle. LaunchMove() now takes
care of this by starting a ponder search if one is needed but none is
running. This is possible because the ponder move is always appended
to the move list, even when ponder is off, and thus is available.
