00:59:10FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Haven't talked to you in a few days. You doing good?
01:02:43FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Also. Question. Is there a way I can specify standalone but still use Nim's higher features as I still have the stdlib?

01:18:23*yglukhov[i] joined #nim
01:19:53FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Just because none should be standalone when you specify the OS over the CLI?
01:20:14FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I'm still just looking for a way to use the stdlib but no OS, if one exists.

02:18:07FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Yeah it was a ref
02:18:10FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Good to know
02:18:53FromGitter<kayabaNerve> @Varriount so how do I get it to use stdlib and do it for me :p or is not possible with no OS
02:19:16FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I tried Linux for the hell of it. It tried to get Linux specific headers
02:19:29FromGitter<Varriount> Unfortunately, the stdlib isn't really designed for use without a GC.
02:20:07FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I meant <stdlib.h> Malloc
02:20:16FromGitter<kayabaNerve> And what does the GC require?
02:20:40FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I don't have an OS, sockets, IO. I do have the C stdlib
02:21:48FromGitter<Varriount> Hm, Well on windows the GC requires VirtualAlloc
02:22:01FromGitter<Varriount> I believe on Linux it might use memory maps
02:22:46FromGitter<Varriount> I would look here: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/system/alloc.nim
02:24:01FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I remember araq saying something something regions
02:25:03FromGitter<Varriount> Yeah, there's a "regions" memory management scheme. I don't recall seeing any documentation on how it should be used though.
02:26:16FromGitter<Varriount> Honestly, you will need to talk to araq
02:26:49FromDiscord<tsquar3d> Anyone Target an MSP430 with nim?

02:28:07*find0x90 joined #nim
02:29:41FromGitter<Varriount> Well, the one you probably want is 'regions'. Boehm might work in your case too, however that requires the Boehm DLL/SO
02:30:03FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Regions looks to be a rename of stack but I think that caused errors...

13:21:57federico3Freenode supports native bridging with Matrix (only)
13:24:53YardanicoBy the way, will converters be available in 1.0? Just curious about their status
13:28:50AraqYardanico: they are here to stay.
13:29:00YardanicoAraq, ok, thanks for your answer! That's great
13:29:03Araqbut maybe I get to change them to
13:29:20Araqtemplate toFoo*(b: Bar): Foo {.converter.}
13:29:30Araqbecause it kinda sucks a converter is a proc
13:32:19FromGitter<matrixbot> `federico3` actually the Gitter room is already bridged into Matrix
13:32:27FromGitter<mratsim> but people might call b twice in the converter and that will cause side-effects and calling b multiple time issues
13:32:48Araqnever seen a converter that does that
13:33:13Araqbut even so, it's not bad if a converter is as hard to use as a template
13:33:21FromGitter<mratsim> converter for physics unit might need it, not sure
13:33:44AraqI mean, templates are kinda important in Nim.

13:49:23miranif any of you has some suggestions what to change/improve, please let me know
13:49:43FromDiscord<2vg> By the way, I am creating a tutorial for Japanese people :3
13:49:43FromDiscord<2vg> https://2vg.github.io/Nim-World/
13:50:40Yardanico@2vg wow, that's cool!
13:50:47YardanicoI mean really :)
13:51:12YardanicoMaybe I will translate miran's book into Russian once it will be published
13:51:37FromDiscord<2vg> cool
13:52:02FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @narimiran That tutorial looks great! I need to go through it in entirety in next few days.
13:52:45FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I just learned about the interested nature of case statement syntax yesterday, which I made of note of here in my notes: https://scripter.co/notes/nim/#loose-case-syntax
13:53:42FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I mentioning that as I saw https://narimiran.github.io/nim-basics/#_case
13:55:15miranYardanico: i'm not sure i'll freeze/publish some version. i'm more for rolling-release model :) but wow - translation sounds very cool!
13:56:13miran@kaushalmodi: i'm not sure what's the best/correct way of writing 'case'. and i'm not sure i'm even using the same style always in my programs
13:57:05miranbut for the tutorial, i tried to stick to that one style (that i have seen others are using)
13:58:10FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @narimiran As I mention in that notes link, I learned from @dom96 that "no colon, no indented of" is the canonical way: ⏎ ⏎ ```case foo ⏎ of true: ⏎ echo "something" ⏎ else: ⏎ echo "something else"``` [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5b1bdcf1ddd61d08e541605c]
13:58:29Yardanico@kaushalmodi by the way, it's not *always* required to use "else" in a case statement
13:58:57FromGitter<kaushalmodi> hmm, I show the failing case in the notes..
13:59:06Yardanicoe.g. if you're using "case" for a entry from enum
13:59:13FromGitter<kaushalmodi> may be I should put a qualifier that as long as the "of" cover all cases, else is not needed
13:59:17Yardanicoyeah
13:59:31YardanicoI just said that because maybe you didn't know that :)
13:59:34FromGitter<kaushalmodi> yes, I understood that part.. but I can see that that didn't come out the right way in notes
13:59:41FromGitter<kaushalmodi> thanks, I will fix that
14:00:14FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @narimiran the style I mentioned is at least consistent in Nim Manual and commits.. at least from the 4-5 instances I checked
14:00:51FromGitter<kaushalmodi> The Nim By Example doesn't use this canonical style (uses colon, and indented of)
14:01:40Yardanicowell, I think that we shouldn't really enforce any style options like these, because we don't yet have a "nimfmt" tool to make a standard style for everything :)
14:02:02miranYardanico: agreed
14:02:19miranindented case sometimes helps with readability
14:03:17FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @narimiran I agree. I like the Nim By Example (end statement with colon, indent the stuff in there.. ahem.. for *consistency* ;-)).
14:03:18miranspeaking of readability - i am very much against enforcing a style where there is only one blank line between two (large) functions
14:03:27FromGitter<kaushalmodi> But I was just telling what I learned yesterday
14:04:10miranone blank line, in combination with only two spaces of indentation, makes hard to see where one function ends and the other one begins

16:08:14FromGitter<notTito> why they can have a return type if for returning you need to do this hack
16:08:33FromGitter<notTito> (not asking you) just making questions
16:09:44FromGitter<notTito> i get errors every time i try to use them bc they are hard to understand and remember their logic so i avoid them
16:10:24Yardanicothere's not a lot of stuff to remember
16:10:46Yardanicolast expression in a proc/macro/template/whatever can be implicitely returned (as a result)
16:11:00Yardanicoif it's written without "discard"
16:12:14FromGitter<notTito> i dont have any examples at hand to show you the errors i am getting

16:36:14Yardanicowell, because you need to use specific "regions"
16:36:28FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I'm complaining about my own issues on a lost cause and asking you guys to make it better
16:36:29Yardanicoyou need to split your code in gc "regions" AFAIK
16:36:34FromGitter<kayabaNerve> That's what I'm accepting at this point
16:37:15FromGitter<kayabaNerve> And that could help but it'd need to end up less than 10kb

16:46:35FromGitter<notTito> can int be 2bytes?

16:50:03Yardanicoah, well, maybe there are some devices :)
16:50:13Yardanicoah, I mean, 16 bit devices probably

16:54:12FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Nim does support those :p

22:24:08CodeVanceI'm going to just use manual variables until I find a better solution
22:26:08PMunchYeah I meant do a staticExec of "which nim", that will get the path and put it in a compile-time variable for you
22:27:23CodeVanceOh. Will that work?
22:27:27CodeVanceI didn't know that
22:27:31CodeVanceI'm gonna try
22:28:51*leorize quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
22:31:28CodeVancedidn't work
22:31:56CodeVancewait trying again
22:32:08CodeVancewhere nim on windows works
22:39:20PMunchhttp://ix.io/1cRA
22:39:24PMunchThat works fine for me
22:39:49PMunchPrints out the path that was used to compile nim
22:40:27PMunchIf you want information (like the Nim version for example), you could swap that command for something like nim --version
22:41:17*nsf quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.1)
22:43:30PMunchhttp://ix.io/1cRB
22:44:19PMunchOf course if you did "/some/random/path/nim c test.nim" it wouldn't be correct
22:45:35PMunchTo get the absolute correct information you can use: https://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#NimVersion
22:45:42PMunchOnly gives you the version though, not the path
22:47:13CodeVanceor you just leave it to the use
22:47:14CodeVanceuser
22:47:23CodeVanceor nimble might have something ...
22:47:25CodeVancemeh
22:47:33PMunchWhat are you trying to achieve?
22:48:10CodeVanceA script which calls nim to compile a script when a folder's content has changed
22:49:07PMunchAh, and you want to use the same version it was originally compiled with
22:51:16*cspar quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
22:51:42CodeVancesure as a default
22:51:51CodeVancenot required but would be nice
22:52:35PMunchIf you have choosenim you could do something like execCmd("choosenim \"" & NimVersion & "\"")
22:52:44PMunchIt won't work for development versions though
22:53:52PMunchBut you might want to switch back as well afterwards
22:55:04PMunchSo I guess you could try to grab the current version with "nim --version", then use the above execCmd to switch to the version that was used for compiling, compile, and then switch back to the version you discovered through "nim --version"
22:55:31PMunchOr use "choosenim show" instead of nim --version
22:55:41CodeVancelol. I think the "let the user worry about it" method is better in this instance
22:55:44PMunchThat would probably make more sense
22:56:09CodeVanceif nim isn't in the path then throw error telling them to set the config file
22:56:29PMunchYeah, choosenim updates the binary in the path as well, so "which nim" won't work
22:57:31CodeVanceBTW is there another way of doing ternary/inline conditionals (I know you can do var plain_english_bool=case true of true:"Yes" else: "No" . But is there another way?
22:57:52PMunchHmm, I guess you could call "choosenim show" in a staticExec, then grab that path and store that for when you want to recompile..
22:58:07PMunchWell you can use ifs
22:58:25PMunchlet something = if myBool: "Hello" else: "world"
22:58:29CodeVanceI think the nim path is added to the path right before compiling
22:59:09PMunchI don't think so..
22:59:37CodeVanceoh then I'm wrong
23:00:27CodeVanceI know in nim.cfg if you use $nim it gives you nim's base directory
