00:02:11FromDiscord<patitotective> In reply to @patitotective "Hi, I'm getting the": Hey beef, I was trying to fix this issue and it seems that the key stored in `defaultTable` from the `{.defaults.}` pragma is different from the result `getImpl` returns in the `implDefaults` macro.↵So in this case `maxLength = 10u.some` is actually converted to `maxLength = some(10'u)` by `getImpl`, therefore it gives that key does not exist error.↵A temporary fix is to change
00:03:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There might be a better way to do constructor to remove the `implDefaults` situation
00:04:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Procs can be emitted inside type sections from macros, so that might be the trick to do
00:05:48FromDiscord<patitotective> so move `implDefaults` to `defaults`, right? I'll try to see if I can do it...
00:06:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Not move it there but actually emit the constructors there
00:06:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Then make `implDefaults` takes the flags
00:07:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JCC
00:07:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Doing so will make the code cleaner of course
00:08:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> no longer needing `implDefaults` or storing a constructor table
00:10:25FromDiscord<patitotective> In reply to @Elegantbeef "You can do something": I don't quite understand why there is `type MyType = ` at the beginning...
00:10:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cause that's the user type
00:10:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JCE
00:11:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You convert the latter to the above and it should work iirc
00:12:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JCF
00:12:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> For a template example
00:12:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The code inside `test` would be generated by `defaults`
00:13:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Hopefully this makes sense 😄
00:13:51FromDiscord<patitotective> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Hopefully this makes sense": I'm starting to get it, thank you
00:16:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Arkanoid it's not ideal, but hey it's got automatic memory management invoked with optional `reclaim` steps 😄 https://github.com/beef331/nimtrest/blob/master/rcu.nim
00:16:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> And it uses type states to protect it
00:16:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Still using worlds dumbest sync method
00:20:48FromDiscord<patitotective> another question, wouldn't it be simpler to store the type instead of the whole type definition in `defaultTable`? store `Settings` instead of `Settings {...} = object ...`
00:21:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The issue is that we're using an untyped AST so we do not have the luxury of knowing if `Settings` is different if implemented in two separate modules
00:21:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you move the generated procs inside of the typedef, you will not need to have the `defaultTable` anymore
00:25:05FromDiscord<patitotective> so in that case `implDefaults` wouldn't actually generate the `init` proc but just call the `init` proc from `MyType`?
00:25:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you work is done properly you do not need `implDefaults` any further

00:26:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That should just work
00:26:40FromDiscord<patitotective> Oh, ok, I'll try to code it↵Thanks
00:27:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Instead of `implDefaults` taking flags `defaults` will
00:27:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Instead of doing the logic later you just do it in the type defintion

07:54:31arkanoidElegantbeef, I'm playing with type states
07:54:38arkanoidand I like them
07:55:25arkanoidis it possible to get a list of all the available functions for a type?
07:55:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nice
07:55:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> They're great
07:55:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nope
07:55:53arkanoidnot even at compile time?
07:56:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There is no way to query all procedures
07:56:36arkanoidmmmm ok
07:58:14arkanoidI was thinking what would be a nice playground for Type states. A finite state machines that shows possible transitions at runtime would be nice, but main loop would require to get the procs available for a type
09:14:03FromDiscord<demotomohiro> Maybe you can make a macro that creates a list of procs using macrocache.↵https://nim-lang.org/docs/macrocache.html↵And you set that macro as pragma to each procedures.
09:21:05arkanoiddemotomohiro, thanks!
09:31:21arkanoiddo you know why I can't create my object here, and =copy is summoned? https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JEC
10:01:04FromDiscord<demotomohiro> It seems these error pargma cause compile error even if it is actually not called.↵Try replacing error pragma with `doAssert false`.
10:04:20FromDiscord<demotomohiro> You can forbid copy by adding error pragma to procs: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#pragmas-error-pragma
10:05:07arkanoiddemotomohiro! right! the pragma goes before the `=` in proc declaration, not after it

15:47:38arkanoiddo you know how can I forbid =copy while preserving type states? https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JGo
15:51:49arkanoidalso, if I skip the assignments, and just chain the calls, I get wrong output https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JGr
16:20:22FromDiscord<demotomohiro> Maybe it is Nim bug.↵Combining addr, cast, var parameter and var return type looks like unsafe.↵You might need to check Nim generated C code to see if it use pointers or unions correctly.
16:25:47arkanoiddemotomohiro, it looks like a but, yeah. I'd like to skip those casts, but I don't know how to use type states without copy otherwise
16:30:23arkanoidposting on forum for confirmation
16:30:35FromDiscord<demotomohiro> So, that means you need to create a new pointer but different type.
16:33:48NimEventerNew thread by giaco: Playing with type states and lifetime-tracking hooks, facing some unexpected behavior, see https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10563
16:34:29FromDiscord<demotomohiro> By the way, you can access generic type's parameter like `e.MaterialSate` or `e.T`.
16:37:46FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> In reply to @nnsee "what would these abstractions": By abstractions I mean it'd just expose an API that utilises another async lib (whether it's chronos or asyncdispatch or neither)
16:38:05FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> In a way that it's essentially a drop-in replacement for the most part
16:38:13FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> Tho I'd imagine lower level stuff would be difficult
16:38:24FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> And I'd probably ignore that as a whole tbh lol
16:39:01FromDiscord<demotomohiro> As far as I know, you cannot change a type of variable after it is declared.↵So if you want to change type state, create a copy or new pointer with different type.↵Or use object variants?
16:39:16FromDiscord<odexine> chronos and asyncdispatch are already relatively similar to be almost-dropins though?
16:43:30FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> There's still minor differences though, no?
16:43:48FromDiscord<leorize> that become an issue if you want to share the base libraries (ie. subprocess, networking)↵(@Chronos [She/Her])

16:44:43FromDiscord<leorize> outputExpected is generated by testament
16:44:54FromDiscord<leorize> you have to turn megatest on to have it
16:45:43FromDiscord<leorize> it's done by concatenating all tests outputs together
16:45:44FromDiscord<leorize> and the tests themselves
16:45:44FromDiscord<leorize> to compile into one big binary
16:46:29FromDiscord<pcarrier> I dont want thiz. Should i disable something?
16:47:00FromDiscord<pcarrier> Just run all tests, thanks
16:47:56FromDiscord<leorize> you can opt out of megatest by putting `megatest: off` in the test spec I think
16:49:52FromDiscord<pcarrier> I'd rather do so system-wide?
16:49:54*alphacentauri quit (Quit: WeeChat 4.1.0)
16:50:22FromDiscord<leorize> megatest won't run if your test is not joinable, so I think the spec is `joinable: false`
16:50:46FromDiscord<leorize> you can't, unless you just add `--megatest:off` to all testament calls
16:50:57FromDiscord<pcarrier> also, can I specify a directory where the binaries should go? they pollute my tests/ directory and I don't want to write a gitignore entry for every test file...
16:51:41FromDiscord<leorize> despite being advertised as a general use tool, testament is mostly built to serve as a compiler tester with many assumptions about the testing environment
16:51:53FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> In reply to @leorize "that become an issue": Fair
16:52:07FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> I wonder if there's actually a point to doing this hm...
16:52:07FromDiscord<leorize> if you want a feature I afraid you'll have to make a PR for it
16:52:27FromDiscord<pcarrier> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4JGL
16:52:52FromDiscord<pcarrier> what should I use to run my tests? I'm open to alternatives to `testament`
16:53:09FromDiscord<leorize> this is what I use\: https://github.com/disruptek/balls
16:55:16FromDiscord<leorize> it doesn't pollute your source directory, it reprints failure logs at the end of a run, it run tests in parallel
16:55:17FromDiscord<leorize> and it can work in macro-heavy environment very well, being originally conceived to test cps
16:55:21FromDiscord<pcarrier> ah my bad, `testament --megatest:off all` works (`testament all --megatest:off` doesn't)
16:56:40arkanoidwow, balls looks really nice
16:57:19FromDiscord<pcarrier> if I didn't _have_ to use it (ie it was an option to run tests but didn't require importing it in my unit tests), I'd jump on it
16:58:14FromDiscord<leorize> you don't have to import it, it runs all test files
16:58:22FromDiscord<leorize> you just don't get nice output without it
17:00:16arkanoiddemotomohiro, thanks, e.MaterialState works and I've removed the typetraits dependency
17:00:37FromDiscord<pcarrier> hmmm balls doesn't seem to be in the nimble repository, how do I add it to my nimble file?
17:00:51FromDiscord<leorize> add the github url
17:01:04FromDiscord<leorize> https://github.com/alaviss/union/blob/main/union.nimble#L12 \<- example
17:01:07FromDiscord<pcarrier> noice
17:02:04FromDiscord<leorize> version 4 is out if you wanna try it, I forgot why I didn't update by now
17:02:36FromDiscord<leorize> oh right, because it doesn't work with old nim (\< 1.8.0) anymore

17:03:44FromDiscord<pcarrier> (running nim 2.0.0)
17:05:42FromDiscord<raynei486> pretty sure that doesn't install balls
17:05:49FromDiscord<raynei486> but downloads it as a usable dependency
17:05:54FromDiscord<raynei486> so it's not in the path
17:06:21FromDiscord<pcarrier> OK, how do I achieve what I'm after?
17:08:24FromDiscord<raynei486> well my dumb solution would just be `exec nimble install "https://github.com/disruptek/balls"`
17:08:34FromDiscord<raynei486> (edit) "nimble" => ""nimble" | ""https://github.com/disruptek/balls"`" => "https://github.com/disruptek/balls"`"
17:08:34FromDiscord<pcarrier> doesn't feel great
17:08:46FromDiscord<raynei486> yeah hence why dumb solution
17:08:53FromDiscord<raynei486> someone probably knows a better way
17:09:50FromDiscord<pcarrier> I'll stick to `testament` for now, seems to do the job 🙂

17:19:21FromDiscord<patitotective> I would say that it happens because you can't have a `seq` of void

23:10:55FromDiscord<user2m> no id ead what your trying to do but I know s must be a var variable to be assigned to `proc stpush (s: var seq[int], x: int) =`

23:34:57FromDiscord<BanannaMan> I forgot to ask about discardable procs. Why is it that my prices only work if I make them discardable?
23:35:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim is an expressionful language if you have a proc that returns a value and do not want the result you do `discard myProc()`
23:35:57FromDiscord<BanannaMan> (edit) "prices" => "procs"
23:36:20FromDiscord<BanannaMan> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Nim is an expressionful": What if I don't want to use discard myProc()?
23:36:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Make the proc discardable
23:37:01FromDiscord<BanannaMan> What if I want to call it like a regular function?
23:37:28FromDiscord<leorize> you just call it?
23:37:43FromDiscord<BanannaMan> Strange
23:37:58FromDiscord<leorize> making the proc discardable just means you tell the compiler to not yell at you for ignoring the return value
23:37:58FromDiscord<BanannaMan> My procs don't work unless I explicitly use discard
23:38:08FromDiscord<BanannaMan> Oh okay
23:38:33FromDiscord<BanannaMan> How do I not ignore the return value? This is a little bit confusing to me.
23:38:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `var a = myPoc()`
23:39:14FromDiscord<leorize> just use the value \:P
23:39:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Consume the value no error

23:49:53arkanoidElegantbeef, thanks a lot for the answer on the forum!
23:51:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No problem, though for this example I will note `distinct T` is valid instead of `distinct ExperimentImpl[T]`

23:53:43arkanoidElegantbeef, sure, if data: T is the only field it would degrade into just distinct T
23:55:36*xet7_ joined #nim
23:57:17arkanoidI'm trying to use `distinct T`, just to grok this better
23:58:00arkanoidError: signature for '=copy' must be proc[T: object](x: var T; y: T)
23:58:35arkanoidcan't stop copies of base types?
23:59:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> In the case you use distinct T you need to disable the copy on `Experiment[T]`
23:59:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Since the base types have their own hooks
