04:03:53skrylar[m]and iirc that one is made by scraping gobject-introspection
04:06:26leorizeyea, so it works directly with whatever version of gtk3 you got installed
04:06:55skrylar[m]i just fished out the gdk/gtk headers and threw a python-lark parser at it
04:07:11leorizebut there's also this: https://github.com/StefanSalewski/oldgtk3
04:09:17leorizepersonally I like gintro more because it integrates directly with Nim's gc :p

04:11:08skrylar[m]i forget if windows event loops work without a window present
04:12:46skrylar[m]i have the append-only version of bmessages working in nim, next step is burying the app-level stuff in the clean api
04:13:11leorizenice :)
04:13:24leorizedoes your module support haiku also? :)
04:13:49skrylar[m]not exactly
04:14:41skrylar[m]currently message handlers have an extra parameter to handle those weird messages that want immediate synchronous replies in to a specific return bmessage; i dunno how haiku handles those, i suspect some form of behind the scenes copying.
04:15:03skrylar[m]otherwise you could replace most of the procs with importcpp's and it would probably work
04:15:49skrylar[m]well. haiku also uses a lot of subclassing to implement virtual methods, those were replaced with closures
04:16:19skrylar[m]so instead of subclassing a bhandler, you just set the `fmessage_received` closure on the `handler` ref object
04:17:13leorizesounds easy enough to reimplement for haiku
04:17:54leorizewell, I'll try once your package is ready for writing gui program :)

04:18:16skrylar[m]the key/value store they use for messages still rustles my jimmies compared to sdl/allegro/gdk's unions, but i guess it has advantages

04:21:58leorizekey/value store is ABI-independant afaict
04:22:03skrylar[m]some of the app kit has been pushed away at least for now. they have clipboards in there and its a bit hazy to implement those on other platforms (starts getting in to a combination of messing with X11/Wayland, shm files.. windows has DDE I guess)
04:22:47leorizejust that you can extend the APIs in the future without worrying about breaking older apps, I think
04:23:10skrylar[m]bmessages? yea. removes abi trouble among other things
04:24:07skrylar[m]well a bmessage also holds the specifier stack, which is used for scripting. so it carries the idea of "button 1 of window 3 of application" which exists in applescript and nowhere else [modern]

07:31:27FromGitter<alehander42> btw Araq
07:31:56FromGitter<alehander42> newruntime: does the allocator own the memory-related functions
07:32:08FromGitter<alehander42> e.g. if my seq has a as allocator internally
07:32:18FromGitter<alehander42> does this a point to its own alloc free etc
07:32:31FromGitter<alehander42> what i mean is, can i write my own Allocator object
07:32:47FromGitter<alehander42> which replacecs them without fixing the compiler itself
07:33:03FromGitter<alehander42> and make my seq-s use it instead
07:33:09FromGitter<alehander42> e.g. FixedSizeBuffer
07:33:48FromGitter<alehander42> i know i can write my own alloc0 etc but this requires patching the compiler itself and
07:34:01FromGitter<alehander42> making them default for all kinds of types
07:34:33FromGitter<alehander42> (the last part is probably ok, but i wonder if i can replace the "global" allocator easily from userland)
07:35:15FromGitter<alehander42> @dom96 i thought about using and i think it is good
07:36:10FromGitter<alehander42> e.g. in web frameworks, you might write many functions which accept Requst or path: string etc and typing the type doesnt really offer anything to people that write those dsl-s for all their aps
07:36:12FromGitter<alehander42> apps
07:36:20FromGitter<alehander42> `using`
07:45:40Araqwell yes, a seq can have a different allocator, one that you provided
07:47:52FromGitter<mratsim> oh, is it supported now?
08:25:21AraqI think so...
08:31:22FromGitter<mratsim> how do you create a seq with custom allocator?
08:31:36FromGitter<mratsim> I don't see a `newSeq` overload

09:38:59*gangstacat joined #nim
09:39:07PMunchAnd I have to say you managed to pick the good parts Araq
09:42:30AraqI know it's all the same to you but last time I checked Modula 3's and Ada's influence on Nim were bigger than Pascal's, it's all the same soup though :P
09:45:44PMunchOh yeah, I went to a couple Ada talks last FOSDEM. Definitely found it similar as well
09:46:13PMunchI've never used Modula 3, but looking at it it's syntactically fairly similar to Pascal
09:48:16PMunchUgh, I'm pretty sure it'd be faster to just write my own installer wizard thing that trying to use InnoSetup..
09:49:22Araqthat's why we have finish.exe now and no InnoSetup anymore
09:49:26Araq;-)
09:50:01Araqit's always the same, productivity is the result of *not* using tools.

10:14:56PMunchMhm
10:15:18PMunchUnfortunately this is a product that has to be shipped to people of dubious technical abilities
10:15:32PMunchSo a graphical installer is nice to have
10:25:12lqdev[m]damn it, why does nimterop generate shittons of `_nimterop_*` files
10:25:42PMunchBut I'd prefer to just have a Nim library built on wNim that had some common functions for setting registry keys, installing services, embedding compressed files (and unpacking them), and a light system that wraps some of the UI logic to make next/prev/etc play nice in the installer
10:39:23AraqPMunch, nullsoft installer is a bit better
10:39:51Araqhttps://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page
10:41:50PMunchYeah, the reason I'm using InnoSetup is because that's what they've been using for their other installers
10:42:00PMunchTurns out they aren't all that complicated..
10:42:22PMunchI just assumed someone here would know how to actually do stuff in InnoSetup since they used it

11:59:48ZevvI though playground was leaking stuff
12:02:05FromGitter<alehander42> Araq so do we just assign to the internal allocator
12:02:06FromGitter<alehander42> field
12:03:25FromGitter<alehander42> making an object with the core/allocators interface
12:04:03FromGitter<alehander42> ahh we use setLocalAllocator
12:04:08FromGitter<alehander42> @mratsim ^
12:04:19FromGitter<alehander42> / setSharedAllocator also
12:04:46FromGitter<mratsim> it's not in system.nim?
12:04:51FromGitter<alehander42> core / allocators
12:05:09FromGitter<mratsim> also if a library is using that does that contaminate everything??
12:06:00FromGitter<alehander42> i think so
12:06:18FromGitter<alehander42> i only care for osdev toys in this instance, so doesnt matter
12:06:25FromGitter<alehander42> but indeed, the other option is
12:06:39FromGitter<alehander42> to have your own constructor for e.g. seq-s or other type
12:06:45FromGitter<alehander42> which assigns a custom allocator
12:06:48FromGitter<alehander42> to its payload
12:06:52FromGitter<mratsim> that would be better
12:07:43FromGitter<alehander42> i see it used only for seq and str
12:08:41FromGitter<mratsim> for Arraymancer I'm currently using seq in the backend and I wanted to try a custom alloc for seqs, but it seems like I will write my own type from scratch
12:08:58FromGitter<alehander42> however it doesnt seem to use this for other allocation
12:09:38FromGitter<alehander42> so even if i write a custom allocator like that i wouldnt be able to make all objects use it ?
12:09:47FromGitter<alehander42> so still need to just patch alloc0

13:52:34Zevvso, how did that bite you?
13:53:41lqdev[m]first time around, it was when I was using OpenGL. I set a VBO's type to GL_FLOAT and passed a seq[float] to glBufferSubData
13:54:07lqdev[m]this time what I did was I set the audio format in soundio to f32le, and wrote Nim `float`s into the audio buffer
13:54:53lqdev[m]the result sounded kind of like a zapper, and a particularly loud one. fortunately I had my speakers pretty quiet

14:14:32ZevvI guess I'm afraid to get too dependend on highlighting. Layout is key for readability for me, but I guess these things are so very subjective it doesn't even make sense to talk about it.

15:50:49lqdev[m]shashlick: when are you going to implement nested structs in nimterop? I'm trying to wrap dr_wav and seems like I'm stuck in yet another loophole, because of those stupid nested structs
15:51:12FromGitter<kaushalmodi> I am trying to refactor the nim-emacs-module package and am stumbling at this: https://play.nim-lang.org/index.html?ix=1LM7
15:51:32shashlick@lqdev, want to do some work today on nimterop but seems unlikely given my schedule
15:51:35FromGitter<kaushalmodi> > Error: identifier expected, but found '10'
15:51:42shashlicki think adding inline cOverride will solve many of your problems
15:51:53shashlicki have some ideas for it
15:54:37FromGitter<Vindaar> @kaushalmodi what do you expect the `maxArgs` argument to do in the template?
15:55:06Araqkaushalmodi: rename the 'maxArgs' in the proc header
15:55:49FromGitter<kaushalmodi> Araq: ok, let me try that
15:56:04FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @Vindaar I was actually stuck at a different problem: actual snippet: http://ix.io/1LM9
15:56:17FromGitter<kaushalmodi> that complained that `replace` couldn't be found
15:56:26FromGitter<kaushalmodi> even though I did `import strutils` at top
15:59:09FromGitter<kaushalmodi> hmm, `replace` works in here: https://play.nim-lang.org/index.html?ix=1LMc
16:00:44FromGitter<kaushalmodi> but with http://ix.io/1LMf, it gives: ⏎ ⏎ > emacs_module/helpers.nim(41, 17) Error: undeclared identifier: 'replace'

16:15:32ftsfhi, is there a way I can operate on a bunch of fields by name (known at compile time) eg.. for k in ["a","b","c","d"]: foo.k = 0 ?
16:16:38ftsfi can't figure out how to turn the string into an identifier to use as a fieldname
16:17:01Calinou<Zevv> wow that's a pretty bad reason not to use them :/
16:17:10Calinouthat reminds me of editors highlighting "int" but not "int32_t" or "int64_t"
16:20:03lqdev[m]ftsf: you can use dot operators (https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual_experimental.html#special-operators-dot-operators) and astToStr() to do just that
16:20:44lqdev[m]oh, you want it the other way aroud
16:20:46lqdev[m]give me a sec
16:21:27lqdev[m]@mratsim did this once, he might know the answer
16:28:24Araqsimple to do with a macro
16:30:04dom96ftsf: you can either create the AST nodes via newDotExpr, newIdentNode and some other proc that I don't remember the name of for assignments. Or you can use `quote` with a combination of these procs (you'll need to at least change the `k` into an ident node
16:31:35ftsfguess I better learn to macro =) I've so far only touched templates

17:06:32Calinouand it's up to the editor/IDE to highlight it correctly
17:07:00Zevvyeah, but isnt nimsuggest the intelligence between nim highlighting?

18:02:08FromGitter<JasperJenkins> You'll probably need to unroll the loop yourself like: https://play.nim-lang.org/index.html?ix=1LMQ
18:08:14FromGitter<kaushalmodi> @JasperJenkins do you have time to convert that to `quote do`?
18:08:35FromGitter<kaushalmodi> that way I can relate between the "raw macro" and quote do
18:17:16FromGitter<JasperJenkins> The only thing that I can see being converted to quote do is the newBlockStmt. The code is more introspective than constructive. I can update with a more commented version though.

19:37:16*SquareHimself joined #nim
19:38:54SquareHimselfSo, I'm using the irc library to make an IRC bot and I'm having trouble. The bot is synchronous, but I want it to be able to launch an asynchronous loop that continues running forever beside the bot. Basically, the loop is grabbing data as it comes in and then calling the command to have the bot msg the data to the channel
19:39:02SquareHimselfBut I'm having no luck
19:39:10SquareHimselfOne second and I'll post the code... maybe you guys can help me
19:39:44SquareHimselfhttps://0x0.st/zjzV.nim
19:40:16SquareHimselfWhat am I doing wrong? The asynchronous procedure always blocks
19:41:28shashlickyou probably need to use threads
19:42:01SquareHimselfI tried that briefly. I'll do some reading. If you have any suggestions, they're welcome, also
19:42:58shashlickhere
19:43:03shashlickhere's an example - https://github.com/genotrance/feud/blob/master/plugins/remote.nim#L128

19:57:30SquareHimselfI'm confused with the whole threads thing.
19:57:45shashlicksnippet
19:57:48rayman22201@SquareHimself, asyncCheck just throws away the future, it doesn't do what I think you want
19:58:10SquareHimselfhttps://0x0.st/zji5.nim
19:58:22rayman22201I don't think you need threads, you just need to fix your async code
19:58:41shashlickirc poll isn't async is it?
19:59:04SquareHimselfWell this is the first time I'm ever doing something like this, and examples that are helpful to me are scarce at the moment, so I'm working pretty much from the documentation
19:59:23SquareHimselfAnd I'm confused at the moment :D
20:00:11rayman22201Dom's book is the best tutorial for async, but being a book, it doesn't seem widely read lol
20:00:51SquareHimselfIt seems like it should be simpler to start an asynchronous loop parallel to the main loop

20:04:35SquareHimselfIt waits.
20:04:39SquareHimself>.<
20:07:20rayman22201lol
20:07:32rayman22201You want to control the event loop is what you are saying
20:08:20rayman22201So, you either make your irc bot async, or you control the event loop yourself using the functions in asyncdispatch
20:08:21rayman22201https://nim-lang.org/docs/asyncdispatch.html
20:08:47SquareHimselfI don't think you're understanding...
20:13:31rayman22201is it Dom's irc client?
20:13:45rayman22201He has an example for you: https://github.com/nim-lang/irc/blob/master/tests/asyncclient.nim
20:14:01SquareHimselfI've tried it this way, also
20:14:07SquareHimselfIt still blocks
20:14:14rayman22201what is blocking?
20:14:31SquareHimselfEither one loop runs, or the other, but not both.
20:14:52SquareHimselfI'll try again
20:15:27rayman22201You usually only have one loop in async code, some I'm confused about what you are saying.
20:15:30leorizeasync is not threads, so two loops can't run at the same time :p
20:15:47SquareHimselfOkay, so that's the issue I'm having
20:17:20SquareHimselfSo here's what I have going on now... what am I doing wrong here? (error at the bottom) https://0x0.st/zjo8.nim

20:31:32FromGitter<jrfondren> ^that "type" means type. literally, you're passing a type.

20:31:46FromGitter<jrfondren> 42 is an int. you are not passing 42. you are passing 'int'.
20:33:50rayman22201no that's not what that means jrfonden. Irc is a type
20:33:53SquareHimselfOkay, rayman's async version works. Thanks for that.
20:33:59SquareHimselfI'll study this and see why.
20:34:21rayman22201https://github.com/nim-lang/irc/blob/master/src/irc.nim#L62
20:34:36FromGitter<jrfondren> yes, that's what it means. "Irc is a type" <-- what is this intended to refute?
20:35:06FromGitter<jrfondren> ` createThread(Thread[Irc], testasyncsleep, bot)` is the line it's complaining about.
20:35:34rayman22201first, this is an x, y problem. Because he didn't need threads at all. You are too focused on the error
20:35:45FromGitter<jrfondren> OK, so I'm right.
20:36:02SquareHimselfWell, rayman took it back to where I originally started before I even got here
20:36:05rayman22201second, you said "42 is an int. you are not passing 42. you are passing 'int'." which is not what he is doing
20:36:08SquareHimselfI was trying to do async, but I was doing it wrong
20:36:16FromGitter<jrfondren> That is an example, not literally what he's doing.
20:36:32rayman22201He was passing a type, you said he wasn't
20:36:38rayman22201you said he was passing an instance
20:36:41rayman22201which isn't true
20:36:41FromGitter<jrfondren> No, I said that he was passing a type.
20:36:46FromGitter<jrfondren> Christ, you're dumb. Stop talking to me.
20:37:04rayman22201He was just passing the wrong type
20:37:12rayman22201required type: var Thread[system.void]
20:37:20rayman22201it wanted system.void
20:37:35rayman22201why are you ad homium attacking me? That is uncessary
20:37:55FromGitter<jrfondren> It is necessary, because you are continuing to blather on while being completely wrong about what I said.

20:39:26rayman22201What is the point of what you are saying? What you said did not clarify the meaning of that error
20:39:58FromGitter<jrfondren> The point is that you are a moron. You are an idiot. You are drooling right now, rather than speaking. I have nothing but contempt for you.
20:41:22rayman22201Again. I was pointing out that I thought what you said was incorrect, and at the very least unhelpful to clarifying the issue, but you continue to just ad hominem attack me?

20:43:02rayman22201I fully admit that I may have misunderstood what jrfondren is saying. I'm asking him to clarify.
20:43:22FromGitter<jrfondren> I said "Christ you're dumb. Stop talking to me" and here you are "asking me to clarify".
