00:44:47*arkanoid joined #nim
00:46:03arkanoidI have a vanilla javascript function that I want to make fast (need to call it billions of times). Is there a js -> nim thing?
00:48:19FromDiscord<auxym> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4afZ
00:48:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it imports a variable that is a `uint8` in C
00:49:13FromDiscord<auxym> result in this codegen? `extern NU8 desc_cdc_itf;` I'm getting a segfault and according to SO, it's because the codegen should be `extern NU8 desc_cdc_itf[]`;
00:49:25FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @Elegantbeef "it imports a variable": sorry, hit enter too soon 😛
00:49:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Those are the same thing
00:49:43FromDiscord<auxym> not according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21642741/usage-of-extern-variable-in-c
00:50:06FromDiscord<auxym> and dereferencing in nim like `tusbCdcDesc[0]` segfaults
00:50:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The difference is they're using static sized arrays
00:50:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `NU a` is the same as `NU a[]`
00:51:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Eitherway you can use codegendecl
00:51:09FromDiscord<auxym> sooo... how do I not segfault?
00:51:36FromDiscord<auxym> codegendecl the only way? If so I'd argue that's a nim codegen bug...
00:51:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `let tusbCdcDesc {.importc: "desc_cdc_itf", nodecl.}: ptr UncheckedArray[uint8]` ?
00:53:05FromDiscord<auxym> nah I need an extern declaration, the var is from another c file included in the build
00:56:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I dont think it is a Nim codegen bug↵(@auxym)
00:56:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's more of a C design bug
00:57:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If `int a[]` and `int a` are not compatible in some cases C fucked up 😄
00:57:46FromDiscord<auxym> is it just because it's a static array? It would work without the codegendecl if it was a ↵"regular" array declaration, and nim has no way of knowing if it's a static array?
00:58:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> bunt `int a[]` isnt a static array
00:58:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> but\
00:59:11FromDiscord<auxym> blah. people say "C is a beautiful language because it's so simple" but then there's a 1000 gotchas...
01:01:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah nvm `int a[]` is invalid C
01:01:25FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @Elegantbeef "bunt `int a[]` isnt": my C file has something like `uint8 const desc_cdc_itf[] = {...stuff...}`. In which case would the `NU8` declaration be valid then?
01:01:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> that's an inferred length static array
01:01:58FromDiscord<auxym> yeah. so `NU8` would work only for a non-static array?
01:02:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes i was wrong about C's `[]` semantics 😄
01:02:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So you just need to do `array[sizeof(desc_cdc_itf), uint8]`
01:03:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes you need to figure out the size in C 😄
01:03:34FromDiscord<auxym> ah lemme try that. `let tusbCdcDesc {.importc: "desc_cdc_itf", codegenDecl:"extern uint8_t $2[]".}: ptr UncheckedArray[uint8]` seemed to be working though
01:03:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It'll work but it's ugh
01:03:59FromDiscord<auxym> yeah
01:04:47FromDiscord<auxym> its just unit tests though, to get access to data generated in C stuff, and making sure I'm generating the same stuff in Nim.
01:05:09FromDiscord<auxym> anyways, much C fun. ty for the help understanding this stuff (sort of).
01:05:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Hey i've been doing dumb shit with a wasm runtime, C is making me scared of code
01:06:15FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> This runtime is quite barebones and as such does some funky Cism
01:06:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Like it has a function that takes in a stack pointer and then to get result/arguments from the vm you increment the pointer and grab the data at that pointer
01:07:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So you end up with something like `cast[ptr returnType(p)](stackPointer) = p(cast[ptr typeof(param[0])](stackPointer + sizeof(uint64) 0)[], ..)`
01:07:33FromDiscord<auxym> 🥲
01:07:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Luckily we have macros so i can generate this all
01:07:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> macros really make life so much better
01:08:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4ag4
01:09:48FromDiscord<auxym> yep. took me a while to wrap my head around macros but yeah they do save your butt sometimes
01:11:26FromDiscord<auxym> generics too. this is just magic: https://github.com/treeform/flatty/blob/master/src/flatty.nim#L158 Like you can just calls fields in an implicit magic and it'll just codegen the correct proc for any object type?
01:11:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> any object type
01:12:30FromDiscord<auxym> yeah, magic. Was about to write a somewhat macro to do the same thing, until I can across that and had my mind blown.
01:12:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It doesnt work for every object
01:12:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It fails on tagged unions
01:13:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I personally use `typeIt` from https://github.com/disruptek/assume
01:13:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I did write my own ugly variant for nimscripter, but it has some very peculiar requirements
01:13:42FromDiscord<auxym> meh, it works on normal objects, which is just what I need 😄
01:13:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Also works on tuples
01:14:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But yea not on references(without dereference or tagged unions)

01:44:03FromDiscord<! Nilts> Now, i am utterly confused. I want to import libtidy. Thats all. Wtf is sysPath and do i need it. I Am. Confused
01:47:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cause the library is exposed as a C-api you need that in something Nim understands
01:47:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You either need to use c2nim, futhark, or manually import the C code into Nim
01:47:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Futhark uses libclang to parse the C api and converts that into Nim

03:05:20FromDiscord<Yardanico> `nim c file.nim` just _compiles_ the code, it doesn't execute

15:36:44FromDiscord<rolha> Hi everyone, when using `osproc/startProcess(...)` I can print the output in "realtime" using the output stream. But when using `option={poEvalCommand}` I cannot. Is this expected, or am I doing something wrong.
15:42:08FromDiscord<leorize> yes it is expected
15:43:03FromDiscord<rolha> leorize\: thanks. Is there a way to execute a shell command and still being able to have an output stream?
15:43:15FromDiscord<leorize> oh wait no lol
15:43:36FromDiscord<leorize> you should still be able to read from the streams
15:46:50FromDiscord<rolha> Cool, I'll try that. thanks.
15:48:01FromDiscord<leorize> I'd not recommend readLine due to the way this sort of reading works tbf
15:48:24FromDiscord<leorize> also poParentStreams can be useful if you just want to forward the data without looking into it
15:48:37FromDiscord<Patitotective> this might be useful https://github.com/Patitotective/ImNimble/blob/main/src/processes.nim#L29
15:49:24FromDiscord<leorize> since the process stream is unbuffered, reading a line basically means you're reading character by character until a newline is found
15:51:08FromDiscord<planetis> SaAnd\: you need to pass the correct flags to the compiler. look at the nim.cfg in the tests directory. I should add it to the docs
15:52:33FromDiscord<rolha> leorize, @!Patitotective thanks for the tips. I'll try to first find if there's a problem (the commands do run, I've checked) and if I can read the stream some other way.
16:49:30FromDiscord<soda> Is there a quick way to prune strings to remove things like carriage or newline symbols?
16:50:53FromDiscord<soda> also, how to run a system command?

17:00:36FromDiscord<ezquerra> Although that will also strip other white space
17:00:46FromDiscord<ezquerra> Not just newlines
17:01:09FromDiscord<Zoom> I have a suspicion `invokeExternalProcess` gets reordered before the lock release, judging from how the processes executed from this proc behave.
17:02:55FromDiscord<soda> In reply to @ezquerra "https://nim-lang.org/docs/strbasics.html#strip%2Cst": Seems to be the right thing. The delimiter is customizable
17:14:36FromDiscord<rakgew> when I build my app, it compiles fine with↵`nim c --cincludes=libs/libgit2/include --clibdir=libs/libgit2/lib --passL=libs/libgit2/lib/libgit2.so gitapp/gitapp.nim`↵but when I try to run it, it still asks for libgit2.so, not using the one specified in `--passL`.↵is thera a way(some compile option), so that it does not need an extra copy/symlink next to it?

17:20:16FromDiscord<rolha> Ok, so I found the problem and it was quite silly. The above code worked in some cases but not others, but it was a shell issue. If I used tilde in the commands it would not work.↵So replacing `foo ~/bar` with `foo $HOME/bar` works everytime.

22:01:07FromDiscord<dain> why is this so confusing x_x
22:03:42FromDiscord<choltreppe> ok ist works with sleepAsync. but why doesnt ist work with the loop. it takes way longer then 1ms, i messured
22:05:01*sagax quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
22:07:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `iterable` only works for templates↵(@dain)
22:08:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Whoops misread 😄
22:09:35FromDiscord<Bung> In reply to @choltreppe "ok ist works with": am curious now, I'd try myself , leaving my bed
22:11:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The issue Dain is that iterators are just not chosen for procedure calls so you have to use templates
22:11:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can use `iterable[T]` but then you need to do `.items` on collections
22:13:58FromDiscord<Bung> https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/397
22:14:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Eh iterable is a meh addition anyway
22:15:34FromDiscord<dain> ughghg why is this so hard
22:15:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cause Nim inline iterators are glorified templates
22:16:08FromDiscord<dain> why isnt seq an iterable
22:16:15FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cause it's not a iterator
22:16:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you need to call `.items`
22:16:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> iterable only takes iterators
22:16:23FromDiscord<dain> so why call it iterable
22:16:26FromDiscord<dain> instead of just iterator
22:16:27*jmdaemon quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
22:16:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cause it's a generic typeclass over all iterators that yield T
22:16:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Like i said iterable is very ill designed and a cludge hack
22:16:57FromDiscord<dain> but the word iterable means "that which can be be iterated over"
22:17:06FromDiscord<dain> a seq can be iterated over therefore it's an iterable
22:17:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dont look at me i didnt implement iterable
22:17:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I like the idea but it's a god awful implementation
22:20:00FromDiscord<huantian> Consider python: list is an iterable because you can call iter() on it to get an iterator
22:20:08FromDiscord<dain> okay once and for all i want to find this out: how do you write a proc/template that takes an iterable (the common sense english definition of iterable meaning something i can loop over) and does something useful with it
22:20:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You use a concept
22:20:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But it will never be able to accept a `iterator`
22:20:40FromDiscord<dain> yeah that's my problem the concept doesnt work
22:20:52FromDiscord<huantian> But in python list is not an iterator, that’s the general convention of iterable vs iterator
22:20:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> A proc cannot take a non closure iterator
22:20:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You have to use a template
22:21:29FromDiscord<dain> a template of untyped -> untyped?
22:22:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You have to use untyped if you want to take iterators cause Nim does not consider iterators in dispatch
22:22:54FromDiscord<dain> i want something that can take: a seq, a slice, a closure iterator, an inline iterator, and any other iterable-oid thing i haven't thought of. and just treat them all the same
22:23:06FromDiscord<dain> with minimum fuss
22:23:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You have to use untyped there then
22:23:24FromDiscord<dain> okay. so `template(foo: untyped): untyped` is the right way(tm) ?
22:23:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I can only say nim doesnt have a explicit way to handle this so many types
22:23:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> so many times\
22:24:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes it's the "right way"
22:24:24FromDiscord<dain> okay
22:25:04FromDiscord<dain> thanku
22:29:29FromDiscord<Bung> In reply to @choltreppe "ok ist works with": u block the cpu, there's nothing to do with async
22:31:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4akx
22:34:21FromDiscord<Bung> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4aky
22:35:01FromDiscord<choltreppe> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4akz
22:35:27FromDiscord<choltreppe> just not that nice to implement in my real code
22:35:40FromDiscord<choltreppe> think ill use threads
22:36:20FromDiscord<dain> In reply to @Bung "https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/397": > This proposal would allow a value a with items(a) defined on it to match against iterable[T], in the same way that for implicitly adds items:↵yeah that would be a nice addition. that's how i thought it worked already until i tried
22:37:13FromDiscord<Bung> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4akA
22:37:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you mean io bound?
22:38:02FromDiscord<Bung> yeah, that's async for , right ?
22:38:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes
22:39:01FromDiscord<Bung> but choltreppe examples does not simulate the real way
22:42:18FromDiscord<! Nilts> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4akD
22:45:03FromDiscord<Bung> nothing can help, any code ?
22:45:59FromDiscord<! Nilts> In reply to @Bung "nothing can help, any": line 52 ` node.text = getUrl(url)`. node is a XmlNode
22:49:37FromDiscord<Bung> dont know how you construct the node , node.k is not in range like the error reported
22:50:50FromDiscord<! Nilts> In reply to @Bung "dont know how you": What? the node is a normal XmlNode. It was constructed by parsehtml
22:51:49FromDiscord<Bung> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/c9a92117f9b78e3227dfe2cdcc7cf5b113185832/lib/pure/xmltree.nim#L40-L67
22:52:07FromDiscord<! Nilts> In reply to @Bung "https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/c9a92117f9b78e": what about it
22:52:25FromDiscord<Bung> you see `case k: XmlNodeKind`
22:53:52FromDiscord<Bung> you'll need echo node.kind see what's the node kind
22:59:18FromDiscord<! Nilts> In reply to @Bung "you'll need echo node.kind": `xnElement` is node.kind
22:59:54FromDiscord<Bung> so that's why u get this error, it requires ` {xnText, xnComment, xnCData, xnEntity}`
23:00:32FromDiscord<! Nilts> In reply to @Bung "so that's why u": ? ok
23:11:52FromDiscord<dain> are there any benchmarks comparing inline iterators to closure iterators? how much performance overhead do the closure ones have
23:12:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I've toyed with them they're like 2 times slower
23:12:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Which kinda makes sense given what they do
23:12:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://github.com/beef331/slicerator/blob/master/benchmarks/closures.nim my benchmark for reference
23:13:08FromDiscord<dain> ty!
