03:05:54FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> there was a way to force exporting a symbol that doesn't have , i don't remember how :-? besides using include instead of import
03:09:55FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @goerge_lsd "there was a way": `export symbol `
03:10:15FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> (edit) "symbol `" => "<symbol>, <another>, <etc>`"
03:10:36FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> I meant, importing an unexported symbol
03:10:41FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> {.private.} pragma i think
03:13:10FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> hm compiler hints that it's {.all.} instead. can't find it in index or google ?
03:23:09FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> Is there a way to simply patch a line of code from an imported module instead ?
03:29:17FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @goerge_lsd "hm compiler hints that": yeah, to import all symbols, it's `import module {.all.}`
03:29:29FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @goerge_lsd "hm compiler hints that": probably because it's a hack
03:29:34FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @goerge_lsd "Is there a way": not really, no
03:29:55FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> Iirc Nimble has a `patchFile` tho
03:39:00FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> oh that will do I guess
03:43:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There is also importutils if you want to be sillier
03:59:57FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> oh yeah, privateAccess, that's what I was remembering, not the {.all.} pragma
04:00:59FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> My problem is, I am trying to uncompress a Rar Deflate stream, and the last block bit is not sent until server disconnection, and it seems no zlib wrapper, nor zippy, exposes a way to do that, with higher level procs.
04:01:04FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> (edit) "Rar" => "Raw"
04:01:37FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> (edit) "My problem is, I am trying to uncompress a Raw Deflate stream, and the last block bit is not sent until server disconnection, and it seems no zlib wrapper, nor zippy, exposes a way to do that, with higher level procs. ... " added "All panic when hitting end of buffer and lastblock not there."
04:02:36FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> I managed to fix it with the zlib raw procs, but then I thought, maybe better to ditch zlib alltogether, since it would need the .so/.dll to be there, an extra hassle for whoever might use this
04:02:54FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> Is it hard/problematic to bundle something like zlib in your code base ?
04:03:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Is it hard to ship another file with a program?
04:03:28FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> well it's a library, not an end program
04:03:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> is it hard to ship another library with a library
04:03:49FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> feels like it should just work if you ask me
04:03:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> zlib does have static libraries
04:04:00FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> no idea, that is what i am asking. never done it, haven't found examples
04:04:38FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> i mean like, include it in the library compiled object, so there is no external file
04:04:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That's what a static library is
04:05:53FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> there's a zlibstatic by treeform it seems
04:06:59FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> but it's not a nimble package, and the included zlib is outdated
04:07:12FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> (edit) "package," => "package (on nimble.directory),"
04:07:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Oh noes you might have to use a giturl
04:09:06FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> i'll just patch zippy for the moment and ask if they can implement what i want for the future, I guess
04:09:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you're on linux it's really as simple as `--dynlibOverrid:libz --passL:-lz`
04:09:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Assuming you have a libz.a
04:11:03FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> well I am, but some users will be on windows. I want to publish this on nimble.directory in the end

06:39:03FromDiscord<goerge_lsd> what would be the best way to implement gzip/deflate etc compression over a socket ? I lose the newline message terminator when using compression, and thus have to decompress the data on the fly to find the newline, if I want to go that route. Alternatively, I need to make some generic proc that handles unknown amount of data to be read from a socket, without a timeout, I guess ?

09:55:40FromDiscord<buwubie> ok
09:56:15FromDiscord<buwubie> one more thing, this is kind of a stupid question bu, what should i do abou this kind of error https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1356930220900483265/image.png?ex=67ee5b3f&is=67ed09bf&hm=56e5882d3aca1f8ec4d810acc2fcecd99dec8b976f78ffba920b21fe2fc85c9a&
09:58:12FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> In reply to @buwubie "one more thing, this": problem with run.run? try run(...)
09:58:26FromDiscord<buwubie> i tried run(...)
09:58:33FromDiscord<buwubie> i tried including run
09:58:56FromDiscord<buwubie> the only thing that works is pasting the definition of run instead of the code
09:59:02FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> where is your run proc defined
09:59:09FromDiscord<buwubie> run.nim
09:59:37FromDiscord<buwubie> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/hJi9C
09:59:53FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> and where you try to use proc run
10:00:22FromDiscord<buwubie> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/NIwt7
10:00:46FromDiscord<buwubie> (edit) "https://paste.rs/UlqH0" => "https://paste.rs/3DU1f"
10:01:00FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> is that another nim file?
10:01:05FromDiscord<buwubie> yes
10:01:08FromDiscord<buwubie> main.nim
10:01:18FromDiscord<buwubie> and run is added via `import run`
10:02:51FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> i dont understand why are you calling `run` like `run.Drun(...)`
10:03:26FromDiscord<buwubie> type when i was ctrl-c'ing
10:03:42FromDiscord<buwubie> fixed it
10:03:51FromDiscord<buwubie> the error is the same
10:04:25FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> from where is your `state` type?
10:04:42FromDiscord<buwubie> sys.nim
10:04:46FromDiscord<buwubie> so, i fixed it
10:05:03FromDiscord<buwubie> it was having issues with another file that was included instead of imported
10:05:49FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> you never should use include instead of import in nim
10:07:10FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> the only good example of using include in nim is https://github.com/jmgomez/NimTemplate/blob/master/NimForUE/game.nim#L1
10:09:44FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> which is basically ↵https://github.com/jmgomez/NimForUE/blob/83bedcc259df2f6765f13ea7bffcf9209faba5ab/src/nimforue/game/unrealprelude.nim
10:11:38FromDiscord<buwubie> good to know, thank you very much
10:13:46FromDiscord<lainlaylie> include is copy and paste, so if you include the same thing in multiple places you get procs, types, etc with the same names, leading to that mysterious type mismatch error you posted
10:13:57FromDiscord<lainlaylie> (edit) "include is copy and paste, so if you include the same thing in multiple places you get ... procs," added "separate"
10:21:06FromDiscord<buwubie> Ok, so, i fixed all other includes, transformed them into imports
10:21:48FromDiscord<buwubie> Everything works perfectly
10:21:51FromDiscord<buwubie> Thank you again
10:23:03Amun-Rainclude is rarely used in nim, ie. for including custom pragmas from separate file

18:12:23FromDiscord<heysokam> @ElegantBeef I remember you pointing me away from mm:none in favor of ARC, saying that doing [...insert missing point I forgot...] is equivalent to managing the memory manually, but within the standard nim api↵Do you happen to remember what your points were?
18:12:58FromDiscord<heysokam> I'm trying discord search, but can't hit the conversation
18:27:02FromDiscord<Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @heysokam "<@145405730571288577> I remember you": maybe `alloc`?

20:38:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> 99% of memory allocations mirror `RAII` @heysokam so it's pretty silly in my view to avoid RAII
