00:04:19FromDiscord<Yepoleb> I get paid in exposure, not money
00:04:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No one ever pays when I expose to them
00:04:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Oddly i get a fine
00:04:54FromDiscord<Yepoleb> Maybe we can arrange something
00:05:27FromDiscord<Yepoleb> Are you not unattractive?
00:05:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Lol
00:11:10FromDiscord<morgan> is there a way to have an array in a variant object have a different length but same name for different kinds?
00:12:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nope
00:12:22FromDiscord<morgan> darn
00:12:38FromDiscord<morgan> might just make it a seq
00:12:44FromDiscord<morgan> and not have a fixed length
00:12:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'd suggest just having the array of the largest size then implement `[]` that checks the length
00:13:01FromDiscord<morgan> well, not have the length enforced by the compiler
00:13:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The largest size is going to be allocated likely anyway
00:13:16FromDiscord<morgan> oh yea good point
00:13:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm curious can you share the typedef?
00:13:51FromDiscord<morgan> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/E6L
00:14:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Oh lord jeebus
00:14:25FromDiscord<morgan> yea the sheer number is why i don't wanna have another case of lol
00:14:34FromDiscord<morgan> i have a proc for the length already
00:14:52FromDiscord<morgan> so i can just use that for the length instead of using len anywhere
00:15:41FromDiscord<morgan> the naming is basically info is something that is fixed and connect is one or more connections, which would be a number that says what thing it's connected to
00:16:03FromDiscord<morgan> its for a genetic algorithm to make circuits i can't figure out
00:16:57FromDiscord<morgan> oh and the var ones are numbers that can be tweaked by the selection and mutation processes to refine what each does
00:17:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'd argue some of the branches do not make much sense 😄
00:17:40FromDiscord<morgan> i could remove the two spst switches
00:18:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `res, cap, capp, inductor` are all the same branch
00:18:21FromDiscord<morgan> and maybe make power inputs a special case of signal inputs
00:18:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Those could be merged together and you could write accessors or just access those names
00:18:49FromDiscord<morgan> so i think that will be necessary to have split apart for other stuff
00:18:57FromDiscord<morgan> i can always remove them later on
00:19:15FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i was just giving some insights to possibly make it less tall
00:19:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It barely fits on my portrait monitor! 😛
00:20:08FromDiscord<morgan> same here
00:20:17FromDiscord<morgan> it doesn't fit in vscode
00:20:40FromDiscord<morgan> but removing all the separate connections variables will really cut the length down

00:41:43FromDiscord<morgan> aaaa just spend like 10 minutes confused and eventually figured out a function i was calling to get the slice end (to index and array and add to a seq) had the wrong input

02:20:31FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> It does now
02:22:12FromDiscord<!&luke> what do i do with this code?
02:22:29FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> With what code?
02:22:40FromDiscord<!&luke> discord replies broke
02:23:06FromDiscord<!&luke> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2MXN
02:23:14FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Gumber you use C style declarations more than I have ever is there anything else they do over there?
02:24:07FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Mmmm probably. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any new ones I run into and compile a list for you
02:24:15FromDiscord<Gumbercules> newer C specifications introduced all sorts of fun init shortcuts
02:24:29FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Sounds Fun
02:24:59FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> If it's not evident doing expressions stops positional from working
02:25:13FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> So like `MyArr.init(myArr[0] = 300, 1)` is invalid
02:25:28FromDiscord<Gumbercules> yeah I figured as much
02:25:52FromDiscord<Gumbercules> still better than nothing
02:25:58FromDiscord<Gumbercules> or the alternative
02:27:06FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> why can this work fine when called in a pipe but doesnt print file contents till after you hit enter?

02:30:51FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> prob something silly im missing
02:31:01FromDiscord<Yardanico> what's the supposed usage of this?
02:31:19FromDiscord<Yardanico> like how do I call it to test the stdin, just with no arguments or some other way?
02:32:02FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> just like the `cat` command
02:32:09FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> so a file path after it as a arg
02:36:43*rockcavera quit (Remote host closed the connection)
02:38:54FromDiscord<Yardanico> well I think it's because you're trying to always read stdin
02:39:16FromDiscord<Yardanico> also the code is structured kinda weirdly, is there a reason you need to have CLI argument parsing inside of the loop itself?
02:39:30FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> not really
02:39:43FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> try taking out the while loop then?
02:39:47FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> thats kinda what i was thinking
02:39:56FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> that or how its reading stdin
02:40:29*rockcavera joined #nim
02:42:21FromDiscord<Yardanico> well how about this for a start
02:42:27FromDiscord<Yardanico> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2Nr6
02:42:42FromDiscord<Yardanico> also it's easy to refactor away all the try/except, you can instead check if the file exists, it'll look nicer then
02:43:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But but what about the race conditions! 😛
02:43:37FromDiscord<Yardanico> also judging your code you should check for paramCount == 3 for the color branch, not just 1
02:45:01FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> it broke codiums terminal 💀
02:45:21FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> fonts a little messed up https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1086480431895035934/screenshot_2023-03-17-224505.png
02:45:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If it survives a `reset` get the flamethrower
02:45:55FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> also get a really crypted long output when i just put a string in like `test`
02:46:07FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> ill try to show
02:46:52FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> but its fine in a normal terminal
02:46:59FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> nvm then ig its codiums fault
02:47:54FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> In reply to @Yardanico "also it's easy to": i agree the structure of it before wasnt the best
02:47:57FromDiscord<Yardanico> i'm gonna move some code around in your case
03:01:27FromDiscord<Yardanico> how about something like this? I haven't tested it extensively, but still
03:01:48FromDiscord<Yardanico> @Iliketwertles https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2Ry7
03:03:16FromDiscord<Yardanico> ah right there's parseEnum instead of doing it with an option, smh
03:03:40FromDiscord<Yardanico> hm, but it will require changing some logic or outputting with the default color
03:04:20FromDiscord<Yardanico> also yeah my usage of fileExists is probably questionable because I don't know how it will behave with huge file sizes, ideally the code should be changed to not read everything like your original did
03:04:30FromDiscord<Yardanico> i mean if we pass a 100+line file to fileExists
03:05:41FromDiscord<Yardanico> and stdout.write instead of echo because echo will always add an extra newline, but we want to print the content we got as-is (excluding the added color)
03:15:44FromDiscord<Yardanico> also neofetch doesn't work with this because neofetch itself has ANSI colors
03:16:41FromDiscord<Iliketwertles> just put that in the help thing as an example lol
03:17:05FromDiscord<Yardanico> did it work with your code?
03:17:25FromDiscord<Yardanico> i mean it's not hard to make it work, we just have to strip all the original ansi colors

04:51:36FromDiscord<Yardanico> although I only tested compiling the compiler itself
05:07:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Could one make an inline noop macro?

12:41:07FromDiscord<firasuke> what's the default method for getting the basename from a path or a url? something like nix's `basename`?
12:42:48FromDiscord<firasuke> lastPathPart seems to be working fine, but if the var is a uri, should I use it?
12:45:50FromDiscord<Nerve> Has anyone done a comparison between disassemblies of Nim and of handwritten C?
12:55:35FromDiscord<federico3> what would you expect to see?
13:09:04FromDiscord<firasuke> what should you use asyncdispatch or chronos?
13:14:27*luis_ joined #nim
13:35:35FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "what's the default method": look at stuff in std/os, like splitPath etc
13:37:12FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "look at stuff in": ok thanks
13:42:04*sagax quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
13:42:33FromDiscord<auxym> for URIs we also have https://nim-lang.org/docs/uri.html
13:42:37FromDiscord<auxym> @firasuke
13:43:17FromDiscord<firasuke> I see, but what if I have a string that contains a uri, should I use splitPath from os, or parseUri then get the filename from the end using uri?
13:43:18FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "what should you use": no personal experience, but probably chronos. the stdlib async doesn't have great reputation
13:44:28FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "I see, but what": you have a URI that contains a filepath? I'd probably start with using the URI module to extract the path
13:45:13FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "you have a URI": alright, thanks for all the anwers
13:45:15FromDiscord<firasuke> much appreciated
13:47:24FromDiscord<auxym> note that std/os is dependent on the platform OS. eg. if your program is running on linux is you're trying to parse a Windows path it might do weird stuff
13:47:45PMunch@firasuke, probably use the URI module to get the path, then use lastPathPart on that: https://nim-lang.org/docs/uri.html
13:47:50FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "you have a URI": I have `someurl = "https://someurl.something/path/to/fileVersion.gz` I want to extract `fileVersion.gz`
13:48:16FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @PMunch "<@248208053952970752>, probably use the": epic I just found out about that, apparently I can use it on the string itself without parsing it as a uri
13:48:57PMunchYou might be able to for a trivial string, but I wouldn't trust it unless you're absolutely sure it will work for any UR
13:48:58PMunchURI*
13:49:09FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "I have `someurl =": that's just a URI. you don't need to use std/os
13:49:11FromDiscord<firasuke> oh I see
13:50:44FromDiscord<firasuke> I have a bunch of async download functions that rely on `onProgressChanged` to `eraseLine` and output progress and stuff, however they are overwriting each others output, and I couldn't find a nice way to make each function's output on a separate line, while updating concurrently
13:51:05FromDiscord<firasuke> I realize I have to mess with cursor position, but it's getting tricky
13:51:07FromDiscord<auxym> I thought you meant something like `https://someurl.something/?path=c:\users\to\fileVersion.gz`
13:51:15FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "I thought you meant": oh sorry no
13:51:32FromDiscord<auxym> that would be "a URI containing a full file path"
13:55:06FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @firasuke "I have a bunch": I tried using some libraries like `progress` and `suru` but wasn't successful
13:55:14FromDiscord<firasuke> should I resort to threads?
13:55:30FromDiscord<firasuke> also are nim applications multithreaded by default?
13:57:40*nanxiao joined #nim
14:01:32FromDiscord<firasuke> `testament --print` isn't showing output when running single tests?
14:13:50FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "also are nim applications": depdends what you mean by multithreaded. nim devel / 2.0 has `--threads:on` by default, but it won't create threads and dispatch work for you
14:14:42FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> How do I go about debugging a dll hosted in another program? I have been trying to use a c debugger but with no success so far. Right now when something bad happens the dll just silently crashes the program it is hosted in. I would at least like to be able to see the error messages.
14:16:43FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "depdends what you mean": I mean that if I run my nim application, I expect it to use all threads by default, not just one thread/logical cpu
14:17:48FromDiscord<auxym> yeah that's not happening. In fact I'm not sure I know any language that does that, except labview
14:22:56FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "yeah that's not happening.": oh ok
14:48:47*nanxiao quit (Quit: Client closed)
14:50:03FromDiscord<firasuke> where can I read more about the `--define` pragmas at compile time? also what's the difference between `--gc` and `--mm`?
14:56:00FromDiscord<Gumbercules> There is no difference to my knowledge
14:56:16FromDiscord<Gumbercules> mm is definitely newer but tmk just an alias
14:56:51FromDiscord<Gumbercules> The define pragmas allow to you to check for them in code with when defined(yourDefHere)
14:57:02FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Similar to C preprocessor defines
14:57:23FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Nim defines however are only available to Nim and not to C/C++
14:57:59FromDiscord<Gumbercules> If you want to pass a define to the C preprocessor you'd do so with passC or compile a C source file that includes the define
14:58:44FromDiscord<Gumbercules> In reply to @firasuke "where can I read": Hope that helps - as usual the manual and tutorial are the best places to read more about any Nim feature. I know it can be painful to find what you're looking for at times though.
14:58:50FromDiscord<firasuke> I see, where can I find a list of available define switches?
14:59:24FromDiscord<Gumbercules> You can put whatever you want there
14:59:36FromDiscord<Gumbercules> There are no built-ins
14:59:55FromDiscord<Gumbercules> There are defines from the compiler and stdlib and user libri
15:00:00FromDiscord<Gumbercules> (edit) "libri" => "libraries"
15:00:12FromDiscord<Gumbercules> But it's not like you have to pick a define from a list
15:00:26FromDiscord<firasuke> what?
15:00:34FromDiscord<firasuke> what if I put a define that doesn't exist?
15:00:43FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I could define flippity floppity and the compiler would be fine
15:01:01FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Now it exists and I can check in code if it's defined
15:01:17FromDiscord<Gumbercules> With - when defined (flippityfloppity)
15:01:32FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Or if defined - when is a compile time check
15:02:00FromDiscord<Gumbercules> The same way C preprocessor defines work
15:02:37FromDiscord<Gumbercules> In reply to @Ayy Lmao "How do I go": Same answer I gave you yesterday unfortunately
15:02:54FromDiscord<Gumbercules> There's no magic way to get a DLL to behave different
15:03:06FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @Gumbercules "With - when defined": oh ok got it
15:03:07FromDiscord<firasuke> thanks
15:03:18FromDiscord<Gumbercules> You could try to write some hooks for segfaults
15:03:58FromDiscord<Gumbercules> But you're not going to stumble across some option that will make the DLL start to report errors in a more verbose way
15:05:04FromDiscord<Gumbercules> What trouble are you running into regarding the debugger route? Honestly, learning how to use a debugger is going to level you up and will allow you to debug issues much more efficiently.
15:05:37FromDiscord<Gumbercules> In reply to @firasuke "thanks": Np! Glad I could help
15:05:39FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @firasuke "what if I put": Nothing happens
15:06:59FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Probably the only other thing I can think of would be to run the app with asan / valgrind
15:07:36FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Often these types of analyzers will also report memory access issues
15:07:38FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "I see, where can": https://nim-lang.org/0.20.0/nimc.html#additional-compilation-switches
15:08:25FromDiscord<Gumbercules> So if your program is crashing due to doing something bad in relation to memory, which is most likely the case, you might be able to find the issue that way
15:08:44FromDiscord<Gumbercules> But this is probably just as much work as using a debugger
15:08:55FromDiscord<Gumbercules> And isn't exclusive to using a debugger either
15:09:13FromDiscord<Gumbercules> If you're on Windows, debugging Nim programs is stupid easy as is memory analysis
15:09:23FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "https://nim-lang.org/0.20.0/nimc.html#additional-co": I found this:↵- https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html↵- `nim --fullhelp`
15:11:23FromDiscord<firasuke> will `mimalloc` be available in future nim versions?
15:11:41FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I mean you can already use it
15:11:51FromDiscord<Gumbercules> It just requires some configuration
15:12:13FromDiscord<Gumbercules> But Araq just wrote a new general purpose allocator
15:12:38FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Last time I tried to use it, it crashed on Windows but I'm guessing that's fixed by now
15:14:04FromDiscord<Gumbercules> There's a thread on the forums about it. I'm on my phone atm otherwise I'd link you to it
15:16:44FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> In reply to @Gumbercules "Same answer I gave": I actually miraculously got it working just now. The nim VSCode extension had some instructions on how to set it up that I was able to adapt. I am still not sure how to get stack traces but I can at least see where the code is failing now I think.
15:17:14FromDiscord<Gumbercules> What debugger are you using?
15:17:25FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I think for GDB it's bt
15:17:38FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> LLDB, I wasn't able to get GDB to work
15:17:45FromDiscord<Gumbercules> To get a backtrace when paused
15:18:45FromDiscord<Gumbercules> It should be bt for LLDB too
15:18:48FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> It is showing me where it crashed and when I click on certain areas it seems to be going to specific lines in code
15:18:58FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I am just not familiar with the interface
15:19:25FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @Gumbercules "But Araq just wrote": oh great, how do you use it?
15:19:29FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Gotcha, yeah I'm not either. I haven't used VS Code with LLDB or GDB before
15:19:42FromDiscord<firasuke> I saw somewhere that it was inspired from mimalloc
15:19:45FromDiscord<Gumbercules> In reply to @firasuke "oh great, how do": You probably already are
15:19:57FromDiscord<firasuke> https://nim-lang.org/blog/2022/11/11/a-cost-model-for-nim.html
15:19:58FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Especially if you're compiling with thread support
15:20:11FromDiscord<firasuke> oh cool, so no need to use mimalloc
15:20:23FromDiscord<Gumbercules> The old Nim allocator was not threadsafe
15:20:40FromDiscord<Gumbercules> If you're using a newer version of Nim, nope not needed
15:20:57FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Assuming that Windows bug is fixed / you don't care about Windows
15:21:30FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @Gumbercules "Assuming that Windows bug": exactly
15:21:54FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @Gumbercules "If you're using a": I am on 1.6.10
15:22:10FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Sounds pretty new
15:22:51FromDiscord<Gumbercules> It should be easy to find out if you're on Windows. Just make a heap allocation and if your program doesn't crash with threads on you're probably fine.
15:22:55FromDiscord<firasuke> is there a speculated release date for nim 2.0?
15:23:06FromDiscord<Gumbercules> When it's ready I imagine
15:23:53FromDiscord<firasuke> awesome, thanks for taking the time to answer my many questions
15:23:56FromDiscord<firasuke> much appreciated
15:25:35FromDiscord<Gumbercules> No problemo
15:26:24FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @firasuke "is there a speculated": araq has stated on the forum that there are two remaining "showstopper" bugs in ORC, once those are fixed then 2.0 will be released
15:26:40FromDiscord<Gumbercules> We had to wait years for 1.0 and it was always just around the corner. Scope creep is a bitch, and I think 2.0 will arrive sooner than later but you never know....
15:26:56FromDiscord<firasuke> understandable
15:26:58FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Someone could get hit by a bus
15:27:09FromDiscord<firasuke> hopefully not lol
15:27:10FromDiscord<Gumbercules> And Nim definitely has some bus factor going for it
15:27:17FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Well yeah...
15:27:22FromDiscord<auxym> possibly just one remaining atm: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/labels/Showstopper
15:32:25FromDiscord<sOkam!> that list had like 7 just a couple of days ago 👀 👀
15:33:23FromDiscord<firasuke> In reply to @auxym "possibly just one remaining": isn't this bug in ARC the older/previous mm model?
15:35:28FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @firasuke "isn't this bug in": ARC is the new model
15:35:29FromDiscord<Yardanico> the old is refc
15:35:41FromDiscord<Yardanico> both ARC and ORC are new, ARC is the base and ORC is based on ARC and adds cycle collection
15:38:36FromDiscord<firasuke> Ahhh I see
15:40:49FromDiscord<Nilts> @ElegantBeef I solved the issue from yesterday, apparently, i was calling it, i forgot to remove the calls from the old structure

17:58:29FromDiscord<sOkam!> hmm, just realized that the loop is just adding at the end, without inserting. totally wrong
17:59:00FromDiscord<Rika> `static array[...]`?
17:59:31FromDiscord<Rika> its not the same meaning as in C
18:01:15FromDiscord<sOkam!> don't know how to achieve the same, tbh
18:03:58FromDiscord<sOkam!> i guess i could compile it from some c file and import it, to avoid translating. feels like a hack, but might be simpler
18:05:03Amun-RaC static in function? no equivalent, the closes is the method system/once uses, var foo {.global.}: …
18:05:21Amun-Rahttps://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/version-1-6/lib/system.nim#L3021-L3036
18:05:29FromDiscord<Rika> maybe?
18:05:31FromDiscord<Rika> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4ram
18:05:50FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @Amun-Ra "C static in function?": or just use real globals or w/e
18:05:58Amun-Rasure
18:08:53FromDiscord<sOkam!> In reply to @Amun-Ra "C static in function?": why exacly "closest" but not equivalent?
18:09:25Amun-RaI was referring to static array inside the function
18:09:54FromDiscord<sOkam!> yeah, what i meant is why is that global pragma closest but not equivalent to C static
18:10:10FromDiscord<sOkam!> to me they look the exact same
18:10:28Amun-Rait has global scope in Nim
18:10:43FromDiscord<sOkam!> oh i see
18:11:00Amun-Raor 'file scope' in C terms
18:11:26FromDiscord<sOkam!> global has file scope or global scope?
18:11:33FromDiscord<sOkam!> that confused me
18:11:42Amun-RaI mean in C these are the same
18:12:28FromDiscord<sOkam!> so global is actually global, like c file, but in nim file refers to the file itself only. is that correct?
18:12:42FromDiscord<sOkam!> mixing the terminology confused me a lot there
18:13:11Amun-Rasorry, I shouldn't have used new term meaning the same as the other one
18:13:46FromDiscord<sOkam!> kk, makes sense then
18:13:50FromDiscord<sOkam!> tyty
18:13:57Amun-Rain C there are four kinds of scopes: block scope, file scope, function scope and function prototype scope
18:14:05Amun-Raglobal is file one
18:14:55Amun-Rayou can't have an object with static storage duration in file scope in nim
18:15:19Amun-Ra(apart from const ofc) ;>
18:17:28FromDiscord<jmgomez> any clean way to capture a global in a `cdecl`?
18:20:21Amun-Rasomething like?: var foo {.importc, dynlib: ….}: ptr cint
18:21:46FromDiscord<jmgomez> dont follow, I also ment a non global
18:21:56FromDiscord<jmgomez> globals can be captured, but otherwise will just use a global
18:21:59Amun-Raah, I think I didn't get the question
18:27:56FromDiscord<sOkam!> If I add a local header file to a subfolder relative to the current `.nim` file where I'm calling for a `{.compile: ....}` pragma, where should that header file go so that the compiler knows how to read it?
18:30:14FromDiscord<sOkam!> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4rao
18:30:44FromDiscord<jmgomez> probably you need to add an abs path
18:31:06FromDiscord<sOkam!> oh, true with an `-I`
18:31:37FromDiscord<sOkam!> is there a pragma to do `--passC:...` from a file, instead of from the nim.cfg?
18:31:51FromDiscord<jmgomez> so the header has to be included but the c file I think it also needs a full path on the compile pragma
18:32:14FromDiscord<jmgomez> you could read it and pass it as argument to nim
18:32:56FromDiscord<sOkam!> last time i was using the compile pragma it wasn't needing a full path
18:34:38FromDiscord<sOkam!> wait, or maybe it did
18:38:53Amun-Ras0kam: {.passc: "…".}
18:39:44FromDiscord<sOkam!> ty ✍️
18:39:49Amun-Rayw

19:06:55FromDiscord<sOkam!> In reply to @jmgomez "yeah, but you are": yes yes, i was totally misremembering. i was indeed using a full path before, like you mentioned
19:08:06FromDiscord<sOkam!> i checked the other code I had from before, and it was indeed using absolute paths. so i just reused that and it worked

20:44:08FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Not sure what to make of it, I mean it looks like it is accessing nil or something but I don't know how to find the cause of it.
20:48:10FromDiscord<hykq19> there seems to be a situation when framePtr.prev is nil but you try to access it anyway
20:50:07FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> The thing is framePtr and this function is inside a nim compiler file, it's not something that I am interacting with in my code.
20:52:50FromDiscord<hykq19> segfaults are never very informative on their own, try using a debugger to see where exactly it is happening
20:53:39FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I am using LLDB in VSCode and that is what it is telling me. I am not sure how I can get it to be more informative about the error.
20:55:10FromDiscord<hykq19> LLDB is telling you that the error occurs when accessing framePtr.prev?
20:55:38FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Yeah it puts a yellow arrow there and that's where the execution stops.
20:56:24FromDiscord<hykq19> and in which file exactly is that code
20:56:53FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> `excpt.nim`
20:58:45FromDiscord<hykq19> have you tried printing a stack trace to see what part of your code is accessing anything in excpt.nim

20:59:36FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> In reply to @hykq19 "have you tried printing": That's what I am trying to figure out how to do. I don't know how to do that.
21:00:37FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> when `importc`'ing a function from a C lib, if it's known to not have side-effects, is it appropriate to declare it in Nim with `func` instead of `proc`?
21:00:37FromDiscord<hykq19> try 'thread backtrace'
21:02:18FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/z2b
21:02:38FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I am trying to get it to crash again so I can try that after it crashes
21:05:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yep↵(@michaelb.eth)
21:05:32FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> thanks
21:08:37FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> In reply to @hykq19 "try 'thread backtrace'": That seems to give me some information. It is hard to tell what's going on still but I think I know the function that is causing it at least.
21:09:48FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> in what contexts is it appropriate/important to specify `noconv` instead of `cdecl` for a proc?
21:11:52FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> e.g. I'm writing a type def for a proc that will be a callback invoked by a C lib, is it better to use `noconv`?
21:12:00FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> (edit) "e.g. ... I'm" added "if"

23:14:53FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> I'm curious about this approach: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/4441#issuecomment-230856546
23:16:15FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> I realize that's from quite some time ago, but I was interested to see if it works, so was trying it with e.g. LC_COLLATE which in C++ is in the `<clocale>` header as opposed to `<locale.h>`
23:17:42FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4rdq
23:17:58arkanoidthis is the most confusing aspect of Nim asynchronous programming, in my opinion https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4rdo
23:18:19FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> there's probably something I don't understand about how to use that technique, or it no longer works with the C backend, or...
23:18:42arkanoidin almost all other programming languages futures are not executed until awaited, but Nim puts futures on the event loop no matter what
23:19:23FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> at least in JS, the same thing would happen if you invoke but don't await an async function
23:20:30arkanoidafaik, it does not happen in Rust, C#, Python
23:21:02FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> fwiw, same is true if you use nim-chronos instead of std/asyncdispatch
23:21:08FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> I mean behavior is the same
23:22:01arkanoidhere the Rust docs for async https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/keyword.async.html "Use async in front of fn, closure, or a block to turn the marked code into a Future. As such the code will not be run immediately, but will only be evaluated when the returned future is .awaited."
23:22:28FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> yeah, that's definitely a different design
23:23:11FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> the way to think about it is that when you invoke an async proc, it begins running right away until it hits the first await inside it
23:23:30FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> at that point it returns control to the code that invoked it
23:24:02arkanoidthis is very error prone, in my opinion
23:25:58FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> I can't really defend it vs. Rust, etc., but the way asyncdispatch/chronos does it is very familiar if you've done web/js programming, so I guess it's about trade-offs and having the right mental model for what it does
23:27:45FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> in chronos, there's `asyncSpawn` for when you don't intend to do anything with the returned Future
23:27:46FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos/blob/master/chronos/asyncfutures2.nim#L551
23:32:41arkanoidhere another example with Python https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4rdr
23:33:27arkanoidconsidering that "Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula." I'd like to do same test on Ada and Modula
23:33:40arkanoidbut I don't know how to write those languages
23:37:30FromDiscord<alcatraz> anyone have good resources to learn nim
23:39:52arkanoidalcatraz, it depends on type of learner you are. If you like small incremental task, I suggest you exercism.io. If you like books, there are 3, one is online and free, one is paper or ebook, one is paper only
23:49:04arkanoidmicharld.eth, I've asked in #ada, I'm quite curios
23:51:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Arkanoid you know Nim that's like knowing Ada
23:51:52arkanoidElegantbeef, really?
23:53:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ada and Nim share a lot
23:55:25arkanoidElegantbeef, maybe, but I find quite hard to answer my question reading the manual section http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12rm/html/RM-D-11.html
23:57:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I was somewhat joking, didnt see this was concerning asnyc
23:58:21arkanoidI didn't get the /s
23:58:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I was also somewhat sincere
23:58:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ada is very similar to Nim
