12:27:28Araqguys, check this out, via nimscript you can patch files in a nimble package :-)
12:27:51Araqso no need to get the stdlib right for v1, you can always patch it ;-)
12:38:09ndhis there any way to wrap currentSourcePath() in a something i can call? i'd like to define a proc F in a module that uses currentSourcePath() but has it evaluated in the file that F was called from. is that possible?
12:40:09federico3what is tests/dll/libnimrtl.dylib ?
12:41:18federico3looks like a build artifact - it shouldn't be in the release tarball
12:42:26Araqfederico3: indeed, but the next version won't have it
12:42:42federico3:(
12:42:45Araqwe switched from whitelisting to blacklisting for the installer :P
12:43:06federico3you mean the other way around?
12:43:31Araqno. whitelisting meant we forgot files
12:43:50Araqnow we error to have to many files instead
12:43:56Araqseems better
12:44:33*BitPuffin|osx quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
12:44:33federico3:( how about an exact list instead?
12:44:50Araqthat's called "whitelisting"
12:44:56Araqit's not maintainable.
12:45:04Araqwe tried it.
12:45:22federico3"whitelisting meant we forgot files"
12:47:13ndhand couldn't you use out of source builds to prevent including too many build artifacts? of course you'd still have to specify/copy the artifacts you want to include.
12:47:35AraqI fail to see your point.
12:48:57ndhyea nevermind, doesn't seem like a problem worth thinking about
12:49:33ndhAraq: did you see my question above regarding currentSourcePath()?
12:49:46Araqyeah but I don't understand your question
12:51:42ndhok. so i'd like to use a function F() in a file A.nim. F() is defined in some module X.nim and is supposed to call currentSourcePath(). But since F() is called in A.nim i want to work with the string "A.nim", not "X.nim".
12:52:26ndhso i want something like a C macro that is evaluated in the file that it is expanded in.
12:57:31Araqso make F() a template
12:57:44jeffcndh: Use a template: https://gist.github.com/Jeff-Ciesielski/66cace2a24777034e27ccdb3585ea4a8
12:58:13ndhok i'll try, thanks
12:58:13jeffcHah, beat me to it Araq ;)
12:58:59Araqjeffc: I hope you're aware that you can make 'printf' typesafe in Nim via macro+getType
12:59:27jeffcI wasn't, will have to dig into that
12:59:41ephjahttps://bitbucket.org/lyro/strfmt
13:00:22jeffcI'm really digging Nim for firmware. Seriously: distinct pointers make life so much better
13:04:51Araqyou can also play with "regionized" pointers
13:05:02Araqnot sure if they are worth it though
13:08:04Araqso ... the docgen has the option to generate JSON but I wonder why. Seems to be just as easy to parse HTML back into a tree representation to do more transformations. Any opinions?
13:08:32ndhany reason why currentSourcePath doesn't work in the template but instantiationInfo().filename does?
13:08:48ndhtemplate csf*(): void =
13:08:53dom96Araq: JSON is far easier to parse.
13:09:44ndhhttps://gist.github.com/haferburg/46f6c36b9b6cf64bccc1c45a7dc6f008
13:09:59Araqdom96: JSON ends up decribing a *document* tree though, something which HTML was designed for
13:10:30jeffcndh: currentSourcePath is relying on being at the top level of the module
13:10:45dom96Araq: meh, I guess. As long as the HTML doesn't have any quirks.
13:11:04Araqand if you have "Text here" in the JSON what does it become later on? "<b>Text here</b"? or instead {"bold": "Text here"} ?
13:11:22jeffcndh: it's actually wrapping instantiationInfo(-1) (which gives the context of the calling template
13:11:24Araqseems really underspecified
13:11:38dom96Araq: btw I think a good feature for the doc gen would be the ability to move exported procedures under arbitrary headings.
13:11:47dom96that way we can organise the system docs nicely
13:12:01dom96by putting the GC_* procs under a "Garbage Collector procedures" heading
13:12:12ndhjeffc: and i would want -2 here?
13:12:13dom96the FFI types under a "FFI" heading etc
13:12:17AraqI'm working on the navigation
13:12:27Araqyour idea seems good too.
13:12:59Araqbut I like to have multiple tabs, so that the navigation can group by type, by section or whatever
13:13:01jeffcndh: Yep
13:14:08dom96Araq: I think a drop down would be better. If you implement my idea, you could have a drop down and whatever order you pick the procs under each heading are ordered that way.
13:14:42dom96If the author of the module goes to the trouble of creating explicit headings then they should be respected all the time.
13:15:53dom96or you could add other drop down options that don't respect it... but at some point there will be too much complexity

19:23:31VarriountHi everyone.
19:23:45VarriountAraq: How would you feel about a disphelper port?
19:23:51VarriountOr wrapper.
19:26:55Araqstarted working on it, but got distracted.
19:27:22Araqfor years I tried to make people write a disphelper port ... but people are so confused by its #defines
19:36:47*TheLemonMan quit (Quit: "It's now safe to turn off your computer.")
19:40:27VarriountAraq: It helps if you selectively use a C preprocessor on bits of the file first.
19:41:15Araqwell you can just ignore 80% of the code, as usual

20:32:08VarriountYes
20:32:57cheatfatei have installed ST3 and problem with automatic space indent not working
20:34:21VarriountCould you explain a bit more?
20:34:31*yglukhov quit (Remote host closed the connection)
20:38:54Varriountcheatfate: Do you mean that ST3 isn't indenting the line when pressing enter?
20:39:15VarriountIs the syntax of the file set correctly?
20:39:50cheatfateok, if i create new file and save it as .nim it will not setup "2 spaces indent" and "indent using spaces" automatically for some reason
20:40:02cheatfatethere also one more line coloring plugin for nim
20:40:09cheatfatewhich get it works properly
20:40:55Varriountcheatfate: That's not even a current feature. I don't know of any plugin that does that.
20:41:18VarriountThere's no programmatic way to set the tab/space count that I know of.
20:43:52*pafmaf quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
20:44:04VarriountOf course, I could be wrong. ST3 documentation isn't the best.
