03:37:07FromDiscord<MetuMortis> (edit) "In reply to @ted__ "If you're starting intellij": yep that worked ... but" added "wow"
03:42:17FromDiscord<ted__> In reply to @MetuMortis "yep that worked wow": the `$PATH` in your rc file is not a global path, it's only evaluated when you're running that shell. When IntelliJ is launched from `/Applications` it has no idea about your rc file. There are other options on OSX for setting a more global path, but they're all kind of clunky. There's a file at `/etc/paths` that can be used to set more "global" paths
03:45:31FromDiscord<MetuMortis> In reply to @ted__ "the `$PATH` in your": here? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1074899160014278728/Screenshot_20230214_064522.png
03:47:34FromDiscord<ted__> In reply to @MetuMortis "here?": hmm... I'm not sure what mutipath is for but that isn't it. Oh, my mistake, I thought in the original screenshot you were running on OSX, but it looks like it's linux. I'm unsure where in your distro you'd set a global path, but it won't be the place I mentioned above, that's only for Macs
03:48:16FromDiscord<ted__> you might be able to set it in /etc/profile, but that'd have to be tested
03:48:23FromDiscord<huantian> etc profile should work

03:52:55FromDiscord<MetuMortis> In reply to @MetuMortis "": I believe I should export PATH variable like in that ss (in a sh file at profile.d)

09:17:32FromDiscord<Rika> You shouldn’t, it’s private
09:17:41FromDiscord<Rika> What are your intentions in doing so
09:23:19FromDiscord<4zv4l> use `SetWindowHookEx`
09:23:37FromDiscord<4zv4l> and I need the main thread handle to not set the hook on the whole process
09:27:25PMunch@4zv4l, https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17706
09:27:29FromDiscord<Rika> Likely you have to use another module to run processes (prolly one specific to windows) or you can use the unsafe module to
09:27:30FromDiscord<Rika> Yes
09:27:36PMunch`import osproc {.all.}` might do what you need
09:27:48FromDiscord<Rika> I thought you had to import something to get that
09:27:50PMunchWhether or not it's a good idea though is another question
09:27:57FromDiscord<Rika> Like private access or something I forget the name
09:28:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Private access inside importutils
09:29:04FromDiscord<4zv4l> In reply to @PMunch "`import osproc {.all.}` might": doesn't seem to work
09:29:08FromDiscord<4zv4l> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Private access inside importutils": I'll check this
09:37:10FromDiscord<4zv4l> well actually I would need `dwThreadId` and it is not in the Process object, only the Process ID
09:39:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So use `processId` and the windows api
09:43:17FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @PMunch "`import osproc {.all.}` might": `{.all.}` is designed for private symbols, it is not for private fields of objects.
09:46:45PMunchSounds like an oversight to me, when I say all I mean all
10:03:30FromDiscord<Phil> Ehhhh debatable
10:03:53FromDiscord<Phil> When I say all I mean "give me all symbols", not necessarily "give me all fields on types"
10:04:22PMunchGive. Me. EVERYTHING! :P
10:04:29FromDiscord<Phil> Though maybe I'm biased here because I knew importutils ahead of time
10:04:40PMunchYeah I had never heard of importutils
10:04:47PMunchSeems like a weird distinction to make to me
10:05:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> all imports top level symbols
10:05:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean both are awful timo
10:05:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> imo 😄

12:05:45FromDiscord<Zoom> I think I have a [deadlocked workflow](https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/actions/runs/4173282457) in Nim's GH actions. Ping @ringabout
12:09:39FromDiscord<4zv4l> are `cstring` automatically realloc ?
12:09:57FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o0M
12:11:43FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @Zoom "I think I have": I don't have access to this repo.
12:12:04FromDiscord<auxym> I'm not sure what you mean by automatically realloc. But this part looks very suspicious to me `len(cast[cstring](cptr))`
12:13:06FromDiscord<enthus1ast> but it should work, if the cstring is \\0 terminated
12:13:40FromDiscord<enthus1ast> i think \:)
12:14:18FromDiscord<auxym> like strlen its unbounded and will just increment until it finds a null byte/ It's a recipe for memory corruption (or worse: see heartbleed). You'd have to been very, very sure about what that pointer is pointing to. And even then, good practice IMO would be to pass in a known length instead of using len (strlen)
12:14:21FromDiscord<enthus1ast> but the order of the arguments to copyMem is wrong
12:15:25Amun-Ra4zv4l: no, cstring won't extend its size to fit the data
12:15:52FromDiscord<4zv4l> that's my function for now
12:15:52FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o0O
12:15:55FromDiscord<4zv4l> but it segfaults
12:16:08FromDiscord<4zv4l> In reply to @Amun-Ra "<@329196212282458112>: no, cstring won't": so I have to manually alloc ?
12:16:24Amun-Rayes
12:16:39Amun-Raor, just use $ and make string out of it
12:16:56FromDiscord<4zv4l> I'm so silly
12:17:03FromDiscord<4zv4l> I was copyMem in the wrong sense
12:17:22FromDiscord<auxym> `var str: cstring` yeah that's a null pointer
12:17:31Amun-Raand as enthus1ast have said, you copy from dest to source
12:17:31FromDiscord<4zv4l> can I copy data to it with memCopy ?
12:17:41FromDiscord<4zv4l> In reply to @Amun-Ra "and as enthus1ast have": yeah yeah, was wrong
12:17:49FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @4zv4l "can I copy data": no, doing anything with a null pointer is UB
12:18:10Amun-Ralen(cast[cstring](cptr)) does not return cstring length
12:18:17Amun-Rahmm, sec
12:18:30FromDiscord<4zv4l> does changing `cstring` to `string` will change that and realloc automatically ?
12:18:46Amun-Ra4zv4l: echo repr $cast[cstring](cptr[0].addr)
12:18:54FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o0R
12:19:02Amun-RaI mean unsafeaddr or make cptr a var
12:19:24FromDiscord<4zv4l> I can use a string↵I was using cstring because I thought that would be easier to deal with copyMem
12:19:45Amun-Rayou usually convert to string as soon as possible
12:19:45FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @4zv4l "does changing `cstring` to": you'll still need to specify length `newString(somelen)`
12:19:48FromDiscord<amadan> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o0S
12:19:50FromDiscord<enthus1ast> if the goal is to copy contents of the pointer to the cstring
12:19:50FromDiscord<enthus1ast> but then, no copy is needed at all
12:19:51FromDiscord<enthus1ast> if the goal is to acces the pointer as a cstring and not to copy it
12:19:51FromDiscord<enthus1ast> just a cast should do fine
12:20:54Amun-Ra4zv4l: there are several problems with your approch, you are trying to copymem to an empty string (var str: string == "")
12:22:01FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @auxym "you'll still need to": and then use `somelen` as the length in your copymem to ensure you don't write past the memory allocated to your string
12:22:03Amun-Ra4zv4l: use $ to make a string with the data of cstring or make newString(some_initial_length) and copymem if you must
12:22:05FromDiscord<4zv4l> I just wanna copy the content of the clipboard
12:22:35FromDiscord<auxym> but you don't know its length? Are you sure its null terminated?
12:22:53FromDiscord<auxym> I mean in theory a clipboard could hold null bytes....
12:23:06FromDiscord<auxym> what does that GlobalLock proc do?
12:23:22*ltriant joined #nim
12:23:24Amun-Ra4zv4l: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o0T

12:23:50Amun-Ra4zv4l: fixed: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o0U
12:24:06FromDiscord<auxym> ok but do you have any way of doing the length of the CB content?
12:24:32FromDiscord<auxym> knowing
12:24:50Amun-Rathat code assumes the data returned by GlobalLock is null terminated
12:26:08FromDiscord<4zv4l> well, I don't know if I have a way to know↵the data I put inside should be null terminated but if another process but data in the clipboard idk how to know if it is null terminated
12:26:59FromDiscord<auxym> yeah, that whole thing is memory corruption waiting to happen then. You need to find a way to get that length in a sure way

12:39:42FromDiscord<4zv4l> the expression has no address, is telling me the compiler
12:39:53Amun-Rahave you set cptr to var?

12:55:54Amun-Raother than that, it looks ok
12:55:56Amun-Raish
12:56:30FromDiscord<4zv4l> ok almost working !
12:56:47FromDiscord<4zv4l> just some weird stuff when using `len(cstr)` I get the length - 1
12:56:54FromDiscord<4zv4l> so I added `len(cstr) + 1`
12:58:30Amun-RaI thought we're talking about my example ;>
13:03:16FromDiscord<4zv4l> yeah, the len(cstr) is for the `setClipboardData`
13:03:25FromDiscord<4zv4l> I took yours for `getClipboardData`
13:08:04PMunchIs there a way to get the current module?
13:08:13PMunchLike the name of it
13:16:01Amun-Rayes, sec
13:16:20Amun-RaI'll show you how I did that
13:18:14Amun-RaPMunch: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4o1j
13:21:39PMunchYeah, that gives me the filename, which is better than nothing
13:21:44Amun-Rait can be quite picky, if you omit const result it won't work
13:22:04PMunchBut it won't help me distinguish between package1/mymodule and package2/mymodule
13:22:14Amun-Rahmm
13:22:26PMunchYeah instantiationInfo can be a bit tricky
13:23:05Amun-Raso you don't need rsplit('/', 1) but something that will get not the file name but the filename along a part of the project path
13:23:30PMunchWell I guess what you actually want is to scan upwards for a .nimble file
13:23:52Amun-Ragimme sec
13:23:58Amun-Rais there something that returns project dir?
13:25:16Amun-RaI have na idea

13:41:22PMunchStill won't work if you specify a different srcDir in your nimble folder
13:41:51Amun-RaI have a simpler use case
13:42:23PMunchWe should really have a nimbleutils package

14:04:37FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @MetuMortis "does that mean it": pretty much yeah. cd is "intrinsic" to the shell. The only way it would be possible is if the shell offered some sort of API over IPC
14:05:01FromDiscord<auxym> or make a whole shell in Nim 😉
14:24:39PMunchHmm, why don't we have a type for File or Folder in Nim? If for nothing else to be able to return it from procs and overload other procs with them

17:08:36FromDiscord<sOkam!> then the error is misleading as usual, but its failing for me
17:09:17FromDiscord<sOkam!> i had to change vmath from template to proc to reach this error at all, it was just blindly failing somewhere before
17:12:25FromDiscord<ringabout> irrc, it seems to be an issue, you should use the verbose type.
17:12:29FromDiscord<Nerve> Your `[]` dereference probably needs a var version
17:13:31FromDiscord<sOkam!> the var version exists, but it also fails with that one
17:13:58FromDiscord<sOkam!> all of them resolve to non-var for some reason, or the error is failing to catch the actual error
17:15:00FromDiscord<sOkam!> @ringabout how do you use the verbose type?

17:18:37FromDiscord<ringabout> IS there a reproducible example

17:19:28FromDiscord<sOkam!> there isn't, but this is way beyond stuck, so i guess i should make one 😔

17:23:27FromDiscord<enthus1ast> @Odi\: zigcc is a workaround package you must install first

17:24:05FromDiscord<enthus1ast> nimble install zigcc
17:25:36FromDiscord<enthus1ast> it works around the issue that the compiler cannot call "zig cc" in the correct way
17:26:29FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @sOkam! "<@658563905425244160> well that was": The real problem is that `arr` is a private field. You cannot access it from the other modules.

17:55:40FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @guttural666 "any way to get": not 100% sure but I can you could do something like `bindSym("Bands").getImpl` or similar. Or directly pass in `Bands` as a typed node... or if all you have is the `Band` ident (untyped) then `bindSym($id & "s")`
17:59:38FromDiscord<auxym> not clear exactly what you want to do

18:12:21FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @guttural666 "I want to just": oh you want to generate the type? then yeah pass in `Band` as a typed node, use `getImpl` to introspect it and the build the object def AST as you wish

20:13:34FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Should a lexer parse `24.12` as `Number, Dot, Twelve` or `Number`?
20:14:17FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> (edit) "Twelve`" => "Number`"
20:14:31FromDiscord<enthus1ast> `Number, Dot, Number` or `Number` both can work
20:15:57FromDiscord<enthus1ast> it shifts complexity eiter to the lexer or the parser
20:17:57FromDiscord<sOkam!> In reply to @Isofruit "Like, what is it": the temporality of the task is what's powerful about it↵it doesn't store anything, it builds the file and then deletes it↵you could change nim c to nimble c, but the task would be the same in essence
20:18:01FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Hm... I think it'd be better to pass that to the parser than
20:18:40FromDiscord<enthus1ast> you can also have several parser passes

21:00:40FromDiscord<T0lk1en> strutils
21:00:54FromDiscord<Yepoleb> did you import it?
21:01:11FromDiscord<T0lk1en> dude. Fuck me i didnt import strutils. Thank you

21:03:36FromDiscord<BobBBob> In reply to @Yepoleb "unfortunately there is no": feel like that should be in std, so there's no better way to apply a map to a string? Maybe I should use regex instead
21:04:00FromDiscord<Yepoleb> i'd write a for loop instead of using map

21:28:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ideally a `seq[char]` `array[x, char]` and a `string` all can use the same operations
