00:05:15vlad1777dDo somebody knows statement in Nim, which is analog to Python's "pass"?
00:05:47vlad1777dI read about "discard", but is it only for throwing away procedure's result value?
00:06:04FromGitter<Araq> discard works for pass too

01:01:44mccQuestion: in this sample code, line 16 http://pastie.org/10953566 is it weird that I am able to modify actor.at[0] even though actor should be immutable (ie: it is a "let")?
01:02:31mccIn testing, it appears if instead of using the Vec2 I make a ref object there, it treats "actor.at" as immutable in that case
01:02:45mcci don't fully understand the (array[2, float](actor.at))[0] syntax i'm using there, i copied it from glm
01:05:11cheatfate_mcc, this string is actually cast[array[2, float]](actor.at)[0]
01:05:26cheatfate_and array[2, float] is mutable

09:47:12Salewskivlad, for your sequence to tuple question: When t is a tuple with two string fields:
09:47:16Salewski(t[0], t[1]) = "aaa bbb".split
09:47:37*chemist69 joined #nim
09:47:46SalewskiThat is what I can currently remember, there are more ways...
09:48:35SalewskiOf course seq and tuple are very different structures. For assignment at least data content has to match somehow.
09:49:49SalewskiWhen you really can't buy Doms book in your country, that would be bad. You may contact Manning, there may be a way.
09:50:00AraqSalewski: are you here to complain about broken builds? :-)
09:51:13SalewskiIf you just do not want to buy it, you may read the tutorial and other free resources.
09:53:01SalewskiAraq, do not understand your question. Just saw your response from yesterday to vlad, does not show very well how friendly you are most of the time :-)
09:54:01Araqtook me 4 commits to get travis to work again
09:54:23AraqI wasn't really aware we start from 0.13 csources

10:08:08SalewskiAraq, recently someone asked how to convert a string to a seq of bytes. He had some good reasons for that, maybe reading a string and then do bit manipulation.
10:08:54SalewskiCan that be done only char for char, or is there abetter method? Structure of string and seq of byte should be very similar?

10:47:01flyxArrrr: it uses a lot of compile-time macros to generate proper serialization and deserialization procs for arbitrary types. if your question is whether you can serialize/deserialize at compile time: yes, as long as you use strings as source/destination, becaue file streams afaik do not work at compile time

11:51:50flyxwhy is Time defined as int32? shouldn't this better be future-proof?
11:53:03Araqwe're Posix proof instead
11:53:16Araqbut yes, it's actually implementation defined
11:54:32flyxah, because it maps to time_t?
11:54:47flyxand that's famously of undefined length
11:55:26Araqyeah, it's a 'dinstinct' type, right?
11:57:41flyxyes
11:58:44*flyx will now have some fun parsing timestamps…
12:12:04cheatfateflyx, and where is Time defined as int32?
12:12:19cheatfateTimeImpl {.importc: "time_t", header: "<time.h>".} = int, but not int32
12:12:26cheatfateTime* = distinct TimeImpl
12:14:15flyxtype TimeImpl {.importc: "time_t", header: "<time.h>".} = int32
12:14:20flyxint32 for me
12:14:25flyxwhere are you looking?
12:15:12flyxhmm, the generated documentation is specific to some compile-time switches
12:15:22cheatfatehttps://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/pure/times.nim#L51
12:15:39flyxso it shows int32, although there are switches to have it being int64
12:16:04cheatfateit shows `int`!
12:24:05cheatfateok this is bug, could somebody with write access modify this line https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/pure/times.nim#L87 to have `int`
12:34:22Araqcheatfate: doesn't look like a bug to me
12:34:39Araqthe mingw we ship has a 32 bit time_t
12:34:43Araqapparently
12:37:20*Matthias247 quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
12:38:06cheatfateAraq, mine `gcc (GCC) 4.8.3` - sizeof(time_t) = 8
12:38:11cheatfateon 64bit platform
12:38:55Araqok, so 'int' then?
12:39:18cheatfateAraq, yep
12:39:22FromGitter<endragor> undefined sizes got to times, too :’( I also always wonder why I have to work with floats any time I need millisecond precision (which is pretty often).
12:48:24cheatfateAraq, 4.9.2 mingw gcc x86 version generates sizeof(time_t) == 4 on 64bit platform...
12:50:00cheatfateAraq, so this line needs to be 'int'

13:12:42flyxoh dear, timezones
13:13:07flyxdid he create an issue?
13:13:39flyxor do you know the day he talked about it here so I can look up what exactly the problem is?
13:15:19Araqlol, did he create an issue.
13:16:50Araqhttp://irclogs.nim-lang.org/26-10-2016.html
13:18:18Araqdoesn't look to hard to fix :-)
13:18:24flyxI'll look into it
13:19:17flyxwhile I'm at it, I wonder what this line does and why it's there: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/master/lib/pure/times.nim#L1055
13:20:03flyxit initializes the monthday to the parsed number of the month [1..12] for some reason?
13:23:34Araqremove this line and see what happens
13:23:45Araqif it's subtle our tests will catch it
13:23:57Araqotherwise it's an ordinary bug.

14:03:50cheatfatemain problem of times module is time conversion between timezones
14:16:08*djellemah_ quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
14:27:20flyxokay, parsing seems indeed not to properly parse the timezone
14:30:08*PMunch joined #nim
14:43:56flyxwhat happens is that toTime() completely ignores the timezone
14:44:21flyxand parse() uses toTime() to set weekday and yearday
14:44:50flyxso you will get a wrong result whenever you parse a timestamp that is not in your device's timezone
14:45:35flyxAraq: what *should* the output of getTime() be? UTC? in timezone of device?
14:47:10flyxah, I see, time_t is specified to be UTC

15:07:57vlad1777dHEllo to all. I searched in manual tutorial, but had not found, how to delete variable? (to free memory) Something like in Python "del settings_object"
15:08:09def-vlad1777d: let it run out of scope
15:09:04vlad1777ddef- It'll deleted automatically? Is there some operator for manual deleting?
15:09:29vlad1777d(if it's in the module level)
15:10:19def-if it's on the stack then it becomes unused automatically. if it's on the heap, the gc will deallocate it when it isn't referenced anywhere anymore
15:11:00def-if you do manual memory allocation, then you also have to delete manually
15:12:33vlad1777ddef-, thank you very much. Are strings in the stack or heap?
15:12:39def-heap
15:13:20vlad1777dThanks )
15:14:24def-but I guess you could call that an implementation detail. the implementation could change to store small strings on the stack for example
15:16:10vlad1777ddef-, so I understood, that anyway, if it's not needed after some time, it'll be removed automatically.

18:44:53dom96hey guys, what's up?
18:45:25ldleworknmu
18:45:32ldleworkdom96: a/s/l?
18:45:57flyxhum, what is `tzname` based upon, anyway? is there a standard defining three-character timezone names?
18:46:23dom96ldlework: 1uS/Klorblorg/Andromeda
18:46:38ldleworkthat's my fetish!
18:48:29flyxin http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/envvar.html there is defined that std and dst have *no less than* 3 characters, but may have up to TZNAME_MAX characters
18:48:34*UNIcodeX joined #nim
18:48:36dom96That's very specific, must be a hard fetish to satisfy.
18:48:43ldleworkdom96: until now
18:49:14*dom96 runs away
18:49:19ldleworkhehe
18:49:23flyxso I think parsing/formatting "ZZZ" is completely broken and should be removed
18:49:37dom96flyx: you brave soul.
18:49:39Araqwhat does ZZZ do?
18:49:53flyxoutput whatever is written in TimeInfo.tzname
18:50:02flyxand that may come from tzname in time.h
18:50:15flyxwhich has content according to the spec I linked
18:50:26flyxand parsing ZZZ reads exactly three characters
18:50:51flyxthe problem is that there is no way to map that back to a timezone offset
18:51:51dom96then perhaps it shouldn't be available in `parse`?
18:51:54flyxso currently, if you parse something like "2016-11-01T19:50:50GMT", you will get a TimeInfo struct that has „GMT“ as tzname, but the actual timezone offset is 0
18:52:24dom96Isn't that correct?
18:52:50flyxer, yeah, for GMT yes
18:52:53flyxbad example
18:52:57flyxit will be 0 for everything
18:53:11flyxbecause it doesn't get set when parsing ZZZ
18:53:18dom96Does it read things like "GMT+1"?
18:53:31dom96I guess that's the problem
18:53:35flyxno, it reads exactly three chars
18:53:40flyxnot really
18:53:50flyxhow would you map "GMT+1" to a timezone offset?
18:53:54flyxyou need a conversion table
18:54:02flyxafaik the C lib does not provide one
18:54:10cheatfateflyx, but setting `tzname` is not threadsafe... because it will cause problems for whole process
18:54:26*yglukhov joined #nim
18:54:27flyxcheatfate: tzname is a field of TimeInfo
18:54:40flyxcheatfate: I am *not* talking about setting the global tzname from time.h
18:55:05dom96I think that we should look at how mature time libraries do it in other languages.
18:55:17flyxthe problem with ZZZ is that if you parse a timestamp with a tz offset like "+01:00", you do not have a timezone name at all
18:56:18cheatfateif you have time with +01:00 its the most easy part because you have exactly what you need...
18:56:29dom96ZZZ shouldn't parse "+01:00"
18:56:45flyxdom96: not what I meant
18:57:01flyxI meant, you parse "+01:00" with "zzz" and then dump the result with "ZZZ"
18:57:06flyxyou will get "UTC"
18:57:24AraqZZZ should parse timezones and +01:00 understand what's meant by it
18:57:32Araqor raise an exception
18:57:35flyxor perhaps your local timezone
18:58:59cheatfateflyx, and about `tzname` if you want omit confuses next time, please specify what `tzname` you are talking about
18:59:20flyxAraq: I see no possibility to figure out how to set the timezone offset from any ZZZ input in the C lib
18:59:52Araqmaybe we need our own offset field then with blackjack and hookers
18:59:58flyxmaybe.
19:00:20*brson quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
19:00:33flyxthe problem is that the implementation currently depends on things like comparing tzname to "UTC" and if it doesn't match, use the local timezone
19:01:06flyxI think tzname should be purely informational and the timezone field should be used for all calculations
19:01:07*cyraxjoe joined #nim
19:02:28cheatfateAraq, implementing own `casino` can be tough task because we need to handle `/usr/share/zoneinfo` at least
19:03:00flyxthe problem is, there is no way to get a tzname from a given timezone offset, nor vice versa
19:03:15flyxso we have two things we cannot map onto each other
19:03:27Araqwe should have an enum for that so it's clear what's supported
19:03:37flyxthat would be cool
19:05:08cheatfateflyx, you can always convert timezone name to specified timezone offset, all information you need sits in `/usr/share/zoneinfo`. But its not possible to convert timezone offset to specific timezone, because many timezones can have exactly same timezone offset
19:05:41flyxcheatfate: `/usr/share/zoneinfo` is not available on all targets
19:05:52cheatfateare u sure?
19:05:56flyxWindows?
19:06:02AraqJS?
19:07:21*Trustable joined #nim
19:07:36cheatfateits only way to do this is to use system specific staff, because if you try to implement your own table of timezones <-> offsets you will be always wrong
19:07:36*dmi0 quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
19:08:07cheatfateWindows has much more easy api to handle all this shit
19:08:28flyxAraq: okay, I will try to implement https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/ as enum
19:10:20cheatfateomg, this timezone offsets are changing... every specific country (Russia for example) can change its timezone offset value by law
19:11:09flyxah well, that's unfortunate
19:11:38cheatfatealso you need to handle dates of DST
19:11:48flyxyeah, obviously
19:12:11cheatfateAraq, javascripters uses http://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-timezone-with-data-2010-2020.min.js
19:12:59cheatfateas you can see they support dates between 2010-2020
19:13:49flyxAraq: I would like to have baseline working. so I'd like to remove "ZZZ" for now, and maybe we can later add proper support
19:15:05flyxbut as things are, what happens to tzname / timezone is currently very confusing and that's why I would really like to remove tzname alltogether and we will have the option to add some enum later
19:15:14Araqflyx: yeah. remove what's broken and perhaps introduce a "timezones" stdlib module later
19:15:56Araqdunno if it should be one module or two. Time handling is complex and times.nim is used by os.nim
19:16:06Araqso everbody compiles it all the time
19:16:22dom96Like I said, we should find a mature times library and just copy it.
19:18:13Araqdom96: the mature ones are all 20K LOC
19:18:27Araqcan't "copy" that.
19:18:29dom96we don't have to copy everything
19:18:35dom96at least not at once
19:19:04Araqthe JS lib looks quite useful
19:19:21Araqwe also need a mapping from country to timezone(s)
19:20:03cheatfateAraq, why we need country to timezone? US and Russia has like 5-6 timezones
19:23:11cheatfateeverything we need for posix systems is to read tzfiles (man tzfile(5)) and for windows its GetTimeZoneInformationForYear

19:25:10dom96yes
19:25:15PMunchHow?
19:25:21dom96it's just a header isn't it?
19:25:52PMunchWell, I've normally done it with uname:passwd@url
19:25:58PMunchBut I think it's a header as well

19:32:08PMunchI just get that when I try to use it..
19:32:25flyxokay, I removed tzname. only thing to update now is to update `$` and write tests
19:33:35flyxdom96, Araq: would it be okay for `$` to use format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH-mm-sszzz") instead of asctime? that way, it's independent of local time zone
19:34:06dom96flyx: yes, I've been wanting to change it for a while now.
19:34:08*gokr joined #nim
19:34:36dom96PMunch: take a look at the docs, extraHeaders isn't a thing for the procs working on HttpClient

20:15:11*Araq raises his hand slowly
20:16:19vlad1777d_http://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#seq could you add to "fmWrite" mode description: """ ## If the file does not exist, it will not be## created.""" ?
20:17:11vlad1777d_Because other modes, where it's written, when file is absent, create the file. And fmWrite does it too. I, as newbie, expected IOError, so I got confused.
20:21:01flyxdom96, Araq: I have updated `$` and the test cases. they test the timezone stuff now too because `$` outputs the timezone. I consider it mergable now (assuming ci tests do not fail)
20:21:42Araqflyx: wow that was quick
20:21:51Araqvlad1777d_: our docs have an 'edit' button
20:22:02vlad1777d_And, maybe, here: http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#exception-handling-except-clauses , instead of """raise newEOS("operating system failed")""", maybe it's needed to write: """raise newException(OSError, "operating system failed")"""?
20:22:31Araqedit button! :-)

20:23:37vlad1777d_Araq, and in Manual there is no edit button. If that is an error - could you correct it?
20:24:39Araqthat's not an error, I don't know where to put it for documents.

20:26:18vlad1777d_Araq, I don't mean button, sorry, I mean the description of rising exceptions

20:30:52vlad1777d_Yes, if you could correct it - it would be great. I thought that's the name of exception and tried to raise it like in Python: """raise IOError("cannon do ...")"""
20:32:12flyxAraq: news been added to PR
20:33:33AraqI'd like to get rid of newException though. it started as an internal "does this work"
20:33:43Araqand then people requested it to be exported
20:35:10Araqand now it's everywhere :-/
20:35:39AraqI should write a blog post "raise considered harmful"
20:35:59vlad1777d_Araq, if there's another working way to do it - it's great.
20:36:19Araqno ... :-)
20:36:44AraqI could write a template that encourages better design.
20:36:46vlad1777d_Maybe you could write it there =) Because I had some time to understand how to raise exceptions.
20:37:01vlad1777d_It would be great =)
20:38:59vlad1777d_REally, after Python such way is not very convenient. But module importing system and including possibility is better here than in Python.
20:42:04Araqraising should not be convenient, you should always at least have something like
20:42:32Araqproc reportError(msg) {.noinline.} = raise newException(ValueError, msg)
20:42:43Araqor
20:42:55Araqproc reportError(msg) {.noinline.} = quit msg
20:43:12Araqor
20:43:24Araqtemplate check(retval, msg) =
20:43:34Araq if retval != 0: reportError(msg)
20:43:35flyxlibman: you may want to have a look at https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/4984 because you said time parsing / formatting is somewhat broken and tell me if that fixes your problems

20:45:41flyxzzz works now… at least the tests run properly
20:45:44Araqor even better: attach an onError callback to your 'context' object.
20:46:00libmanok
20:46:02Araqand write the code that "on error continue" works
20:46:24*Trustable joined #nim
20:46:26Araqthat reinvents a Lisp condition system, but it does it properly.
