| 00:00:09 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Probably a bug |
| 00:01:11 | anddam | Yardanico: I have to drop it, I tried to patch the mismatches in imgui.cpp as well since the declaration and definitions where different |
| 00:01:14 | anddam | but I get a bunch of |
| 00:01:27 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> i didn't have to patch imgui.cpp at all |
| 00:01:28 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> only cimgui.h |
| 00:01:42 | anddam | https://termbin.com/d1ih |
| 00:02:07 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> you seem to be compiling with the cpp backend now? |
| 00:02:17 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> so the way I did it |
| 00:02:19 | anddam | I am just doing make in cimgui |
| 00:02:32 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> 1) build cimgui with default header↵2) modify cimgui.h header↵3) build the example with imgui |
| 00:03:38 | anddam | wait the build is done with default header? |
| 00:03:49 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> yes, sorry, forgot to tell about that |
| 00:04:03 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> i figured it all out on-the-go so forgot I used the default header for cimgui.h |
| 00:04:25 | anddam | I am unsure how editing the header file then affects the nimgl/imgui example building |
| 00:04:44 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> it uses the header directly |
| 00:04:49 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> for some type definitions and stuff |
| 00:05:01 | anddam | shouldn't that header be in ~/.nimble/pkg/imgui/someplace/here ? |
| 00:05:09 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> well yes if you have that installed here |
| 00:06:11 | anddam | I have the static lib and the patched header |
| 00:08:05 | anddam | I see both imgui and nimgl are installed in ~/.nimble |
| 00:08:12 | anddam | both have a copy of cimgui.h |
| 00:10:31 | anddam | ok, now nim c --dynlibOverride:cimgui --passL:-lcimgui test.nim errors with /bin/ld: cannot find -lcimgui |
| 00:10:36 | anddam | maybe a -L. ? |
| 00:11:00 | anddam | I honestly thought a static archive would just be passed as object to the compiler, not via the linker |
| 00:11:36 | anddam | working |
| 00:11:48 | anddam | with -d:release 1.8 MB |
| 00:12:09 | anddam | can I cross compile for windows target using linux host with nim? |
| 00:13:19 | anddam | Yardanico: thanks so much again |
| 00:13:22 | anddam | I have to call it a night |
| 00:13:29 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> good night :) |

| 00:14:11 | anddam | btw is that Xlib thing viable? can I build a very small executable with nim linking per each platform a native graphical API? |
| 00:19:18 | nrds | <Prestige99> Xlib wouldn't work for Windows if that's what you're asking? Well maybe with WSL, idk about that |

| 01:41:19 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> make a `config.nims` and add `--d:ssl` or `switch("define", "ssl")` then it should work fine |

| 01:49:53 | nrds | <Prestige99> Can't we initialize a const array? I can't seem to find the right syntax to init an array with default values (e.g. const foo: array[0..3, int]) |
| 01:50:26 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> `const foo = [0, 3, 4, 5]` |
| 01:51:08 | nrds | <Prestige99> is there an array fill to make it all the default int value? |
| 01:51:16 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> In reply to @nrds "<Prestige> Can't we initialize": you can probably use `static` block with fill from algorithm |
| 01:51:23 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> but that'll look ugly |
| 01:51:31 | nrds | <Prestige99> hm |
| 01:51:46 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Yea a block is the way |

| 03:21:15 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> nim assumed that you want to keep normal nim procs (nimcall) in your sequence - closure procedures are different from that because they can capture their environment |
| 03:21:38 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> usually nim infers anonymous procedures to be closures unless you explicitly say that they're normal nim procs |

| 10:32:01 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> It's left to right and moves optional params after non optional |
| 10:57:33 | FromDiscord | <Michal58> Why is it doing that? Is to enable templates that take the last argument an untyped block to take optional arguments before the block? |

| 16:01:33 | FromDiscord | <Rika> now you can test it 😛 |
| 16:02:16 | FromDiscord | <Rika> (of course, i use stdlib sequtils which most likely is slower, maybe would be better to use zerofunc or similar) |
| 16:02:47 | FromDiscord | <Rika> also lines on python `for line in [ll for ll in data.splitlines() if ll and ll.strip()]:` would prolly work better as generators `for line in (ll for ll in data.splitlines() if ll and ll.strip()):` |

| 16:29:11 | FromDiscord | <ajusa> What's the best "wrapperless" Nim interop program? Futhark, c2nim, nimline, nimterop, cinterop...↵Which one would I probably be able to use to make bindings for C libraries that use macros? Which one have folks found easy to use? |
| 16:31:44 | arkanoid | Rika: thanks! I've been cought in a phone call in the meanwhile. I'll test this out. Also thanks for the list -> generator hint |
| 16:36:04 | arkanoid | ajusa, I've experience with just c2nim and nimterop. They both works but at the end I had to deal with edge cases (nested string rewriting macros on C side) and c2nim ended up being more flexible to fix the 90%. Still had to complete the last 10% manually |
| 16:37:32 | arkanoid | Rika: I went 28s to 26.5s thanks to that generator. Thanks! |

| 16:45:54 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Probably furthark |
| 16:46:08 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> At least this one is maintained and has proper parser |
| 16:47:48 | FromDiscord | <ajusa> In reply to @haxscramper "Probably furthark": Got it, it seems like less wrapping is required with it. I'll try it out I guess |
| 16:48:30 | arkanoid | haxscramper how is you C++ impressive project going? |
| 16:50:08 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Spent a week figuring out how to do proper reproducible CI for it and use Conan with nim |
| 16:50:48 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> There is a progress, but it is slow, if you want to see an example wrapper generated there is a hlibgit2 now |
| 16:50:53 | arkanoid | you mean conan.io? never used it, just head about it |
| 16:51:14 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> And libssh2 wrapper, we needed them to migrate from nimterop in some nimskull tooling |
| 16:51:26 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Yes, Conan the c++ package manager |
| 16:52:06 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> My experience with it was surprisingly good, especially considering it is a c++ thing |
| 16:52:16 | FromDiscord | <treeform> In reply to @enthus1ast "<@107140179025735680>\: what could it": Could your server be getting stuck some place else? Do clients that connect before work? |
| 16:54:31 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> But there is a reason I usually tend to recommend PMunch's futhark now, mainly because there is a lot of stuff I would need to fix and polish before it is ready in a way I want it |
| 16:54:40 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> The issue tracker is full of unanswered questions |
| 16:56:47 | PMunch | The Futhark issue tracker? |
| 16:57:12 | PMunch | @ajusa, I obviously also recommends Futhark. Although I might be slightly biased |
| 16:57:15 | arkanoid | it is a project that requires a lot of knowledge and attention to details. Not really yet sure how can a single person tackle it. Lot's of gratitute from the guy who wants to escape the python bubble |
| 16:58:14 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> No, mine issue tracker↵(<@709044657232936960_=50=4dunch=5b=49=52=43=5d>) |
| 16:58:57 | PMunch | Ah right, cause there isn't a single issue in the Futhark tracker |
| 16:59:05 | PMunch | Who's up for some AoC? https://www.twitch.tv/pmunche |
| 16:59:31 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Probably the only paradigm shift that I had in recent memory is understanding how I can properly infer API provided by a specific header files |
| 16:59:59 | arkanoid | "nimble install --passl:-L<path to libclang.lib> futhark" it's the first time I see --passL in nimble install |
| 17:00:02 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Because you can't include string for example, you will also get iterators API |
| 17:00:03 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Because that's how headers work |
| 17:00:35 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Ah, and also I've come to hate dynlib |
| 17:00:45 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> So annoying |
| 17:00:59 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> And not integrated with anything at that |
| 17:01:42 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Like the conan integration - how do you use conan libs from nim? |
| 17:01:54 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> `--passL:"@$(pwd)/conanbuildinfo.gcc" --passC:"@$(pwd)/conanbuildinfo.gcc"` |
| 17:02:07 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> don't forget to run `conan install . --build=missing` and here you go |
| 17:02:39 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> how do you use conan libs if you wrapped via dynlib? |
| 17:03:05 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> the library has to support user-override for `dynlib`, or you have to use this weird `--dynlibOverride` or `--dynlibOverrideAll` and pass flags |
| 17:05:35 | FromDiscord | <haxscramper> Talking about hcparse still feels really depressing |
| 17:06:14 | arkanoid | the complex disorder of the C++ world is depressing, not hcparse |

| 18:30:48 | FromDiscord | <enthus1ast> @treeform\: the issue is not easily reproducable, i thought at first it happens when the server runs longer (and it indeed can cause the issue), but after several connection attempts it works again... |
| 18:32:10 | FromDiscord | <enthus1ast> but sure, can be cause in my code, ill play with it and try a few things |

| 19:05:43 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> when compiling is there a way to remove the produced binary right after automatically? |

| 19:26:49 | FromDiscord | <fumamatar> hey, im having a bit trouble with async sockets in nim. i am trying to write a basic port scanner with banner grabing. problem is that if a port is open and does not send any bytes, my socket waits forever until a line is received. what would be the best way to implement this ? a timeout on `await s.recvLine()`? Code snippet following in a second |

| 19:28:51 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> In reply to @fumamatar "hey, im having a": a timeout would be good, yes, check out withTimeout proc |
| 19:29:50 | FromDiscord | <fumamatar> Thanks. I thought maybe there would be a more elegant version though, I am not sure which value I should set the timeout to :/ 1 second might be too short and I could miss ports, too many seconds would slow down the scan |
| 19:46:50 | FromDiscord | <treeform> In reply to @enthus1ast "<@107140179025735680>\: the issue is": If you can make a small test case that can show the bug that would be great. I need some thing that I can put into tests. |
| 19:47:39 | FromDiscord | <treeform> Here is test case that tests many clients connecting: https://github.com/treeform/netty/blob/master/tests/test.nim#L149 |
| 19:49:08 | FromDiscord | <treeform> Try modifying that case to make it be more like your case and see if it breaks. |

| 20:19:14 | FromDiscord | <dom96> In reply to @fumamatar "Thanks. I thought maybe": timeouts won't slow down the scan, you're running the other scans concurrently so they'll continue to run |
| 20:19:46 | FromDiscord | <fumamatar> In reply to @dom96 "timeouts won't slow down": Yea I meant that a 10s timeout means a runtime of at least 10 seconds in the case that a port sends no bytes on connecting |
| 20:20:20 | FromDiscord | <fumamatar> still fast enough though |
| 20:22:47 | FromDiscord | <zidsal> Easy solution on timeout value is make it configuration |

| 21:55:24 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> how do I get the count of characters in a string? |
| 21:58:27 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> you want to count how many times a single characters occurs in a string? |
| 21:58:46 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> now how many characters it contains |
| 21:58:56 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> `str.len` |
| 21:59:00 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> the `len()` proc doesn't return the character when using other UTF8 range sometimes↵for example: using `len()` on `안녕! 你好！` returns `16` |
| 21:59:14 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> yeah, you need to use unicode module for utf8 |
| 21:59:25 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> https://nim-lang.org/docs/unicode.html#runeLen%2Cstring |
| 21:59:33 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> just import unicode and it works? |

| 22:17:30 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> hmm it seems when a proc marked as {.discardable.} is the single thing in an of (case -> of) the pragma has no effect |
| 22:17:46 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> (edit) "is" => "and gets called as" |
| 22:18:05 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Well yea how is it supposed to know it should be discarded |
| 22:18:40 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Each branch is resolved after the first, so i suppose if it's not in the first branch it can be reasoned |
| 22:18:56 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> But if it's in the first branch there is 0 information that "this should be discarded" |
| 22:19:34 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> oh I see |
| 22:19:46 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3GOR |
| 22:20:05 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> you know you can just do `discard parseText(h, node)`? |
| 22:20:19 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> oh no I didn't 😂 |
| 22:20:21 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> thanks |
| 22:21:07 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Yea in that case without discarding it gets that the proc returns and says "all branches need to be of type `parsetext()` |
| 22:21:51 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3GOS |
| 22:21:53 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Though with that return it shouldnt matter |
| 22:22:18 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> ah that makes sense, it's the first time I had this case |

| 22:45:31 | FromDiscord | <evoalg> @ElegantBeef you created scanTuple ? |
| 22:47:19 | FromDiscord | <evoalg> Thank you for creating it! |
| 23:00:40 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> I did, it's mostly the same implementation as scanf so i hardly did anything |
| 23:09:15 | FromDiscord | <evoalg> All the same, from someone new like me it helps a lot. I've found with learning Nim, often the thing that takes the longest for me (and most frustrating compared to python) is getting the data into variables / containers. So, thank you 🙂 |
| 23:13:00 | FromDiscord | <evoalg> Also @ElegantBeef did you see that "include" trick in the aoc channel for day02? ... my mind is blown |
| 23:14:05 | FromDiscord | <ynfle (ynfle)> +1! |
| 23:14:18 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> It's interesting not overly mind blowing to me though 😀 |
| 23:14:20 | FromDiscord | <ynfle (ynfle)> It's truly mind blown |
| 23:14:41 | FromDiscord | <ynfle (ynfle)> Turning data into code! It's like lisp almost |
| 23:14:58 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Comically last year I used the nimVM for solving that operator precedence problem instead of making a lexer/evaluator |
| 23:15:54 | FromDiscord | <sharpcdf> what function returns the absolute path of my current nim file? |
| 23:16:05 | FromDiscord | <sharpcdf> ive tried `getProjectPath` but it returns an error |
| 23:16:32 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> `getAppDir`? |
| 23:16:51 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> In reply to @sharpcdf "what function returns the": you mean source file? |
| 23:16:55 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> or the resulting binary? |
| 23:17:11 | FromDiscord | <sharpcdf> In reply to @Yardanico "you mean source file?": source file |
| 23:17:20 | FromDiscord | <sharpcdf> In reply to @Elegantbeef "`getAppDir`?": that returns the binary directory |

| 23:57:25 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> does this have the same effect of using `type X = object` vs `type X = ref object`? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/916115869040525332/unknown.png |
| 23:57:40 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> no |
| 23:58:00 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> even with type X = object nim will pass the objects into by reference if the object is large enough |
| 23:58:11 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> and with bycopy the object will be _always_ passed by copy |
| 23:58:17 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> you really only should use it for C FFI |
| 23:58:36 | FromDiscord | <Yardanico> (edit) "even with type X = object nim will pass the objects into ... by" added "procedures" |
| 23:58:41 | FromDiscord | <TryAngle> ah ok, I see↵thanks |
