00:10:38FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @not logged in "and just to get": Is this a "calling convention"?
00:11:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it practically is
00:11:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> How you send variables to a function is what a calling convention is
00:12:03FromDiscord<demotomohiro> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions
00:14:28FromDiscord<Nilts> How do i make sure the SET stuff in the def is not ran until it is called?
00:17:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it shouldnt do anything untill called
00:18:29FromDiscord<pyolyokh> In reply to @not logged in "well, you don't run": ^^
00:18:58FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @Elegantbeef "it shouldnt do anything": Well the SET in the body would still run
00:19:02FromDiscord<pyolyokh> this person is extremely confused.
00:19:09FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @pyolyokh "this person is extremely": thanks
00:19:46FromDiscord<pyolyokh> if neither you nor the people talking to you realize that, it's never going to be cleared up.
00:20:24FromDiscord<pyolyokh> what is the 'first time around' where you think a function doesn't get run?
00:22:11FromDiscord<Nilts> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4mcO
00:23:50FromDiscord<Nilts> Also, do i need a Scope enter and scope exit command?
00:24:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> your arg1 would be a reference and as such just works
00:25:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> arg2 is just "pop first value off stack"
00:25:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> i mean arg1
00:27:52FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @Elegantbeef "arg2 is just "pop": then it would pop the func obj off the stack and set it to arg1 and still run

00:32:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Might help atleast
00:33:38FromDiscord<Nilts> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4mcU
00:37:46FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @Elegantbeef "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventio": Where is the function declared in the assembly?
00:40:00FromDiscord<Nilts> i think im a little confused
00:42:24FromDiscord<pyolyokh> functions aren't declared in assembly. There are just addresses with code at them.
00:43:09FromDiscord<pyolyokh> the literal ` call callee ; call subroutine 'callee'` at that link still assumes that the assembler has some `callee:` label elsewhere
00:43:57FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @pyolyokh "the literal ` ": see, i need like a label system somewhere. But then there could only be global func
00:43:59FromDiscord<Nilts> (edit) "func" => "funcs"
00:44:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Anonymous procedures and pointer procedures are the same
00:45:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> They just store an address to that procedure instead of directly using the label
00:45:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So when you call one it implicitly dereferences a pointer
00:46:16FromDiscord<jtv> @Nilts Can take it to #offtopic but in general, function calls in byte code languages are done by SAVING the state of the caller, often on a stack, and pushing on the state of the function you're calling to, and transferring control to that address. You also save the address to return to, and the info you need to apply the right state.
00:47:27FromDiscord<jtv> Typically there's the "instruction pointer", the pointer to the instruction you're executing right now, and some pointer into a stack that contains info about local variables, etc. that allows you to distinguish between calling contexts
00:51:45FromDiscord<jtv> You will generally want symbol tables and to manage information about scopes in doing all that. Most intro to compilers books cover all of this reasonably well actually. Some of the more modern ones are really friendly
00:51:57FromDiscord<jtv> Someone posted one for you the other day that I skimmed and it looked good
00:52:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Was it me with "crafting interpreters"
00:52:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Or is there another one
00:54:08FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @jtv "<@910899642236043294> Can take it": what about #la`
00:54:14FromDiscord<Nilts> (edit) "#la`" => "#langdev"
00:56:15FromDiscord<Nilts> nvm
00:56:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean given there isnt anything going on, here is likely fine
00:56:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Not like Nim is the most active community
00:57:28FromDiscord<Nilts> ok, so is the semantic checker that makes the symbols supposed to connect to the bytecode?
00:58:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You may want to `parse -> semantic check -> an intermediate representation -> codegen`
00:59:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> AST can be used for codegen, but it's not the most fun usage
00:59:46*argonica quit (Quit: Leaving)
00:59:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But yes you should use the symbols generated from the AST to help with the bytecode
00:59:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If your symbols are like Nim's that's sorta the point of them anyway
01:01:23FromDiscord<Nilts> hmmm, but i pop them
01:01:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> codegen should be a step before bytecode so popping them shouldnt do anything
01:01:56FromDiscord<Nilts> (edit) "them" => "them, and the symbol table gets destroyed."
01:02:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> well should be a step before interpretting
01:02:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The symbol table should disappear after bytecode is generated
01:02:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though given JTV was helping you i probably should shush, might be competing designs
01:03:17FromDiscord<Nilts> In reply to @Elegantbeef "The symbol table *should*": no, im talking about during the semantic check. Here is the code if it helps: https://github.com/thatrandomperson5/JumpLang/blob/main/libjumplang/syms.nim
01:06:14FromDiscord<Nilts> In the file you can see that i have no good way of retrieving the sym tables.
01:40:21FromDiscord<voidwalker> What is your favourite library to work with sqlite ?
01:40:37FromDiscord<voidwalker> (edit) "What is your favourite library to work with sqlite ? ... " added "(except the stdlib one of course)"
01:40:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The one that means i dont need a DB 😄
01:44:09FromDiscord<pyolyokh> the stdlib one is losing the -d:staticSqlite flag so my favorite will be the non-std replacement for that
01:45:05FromDiscord<pyolyokh> when backwards compatibility isn't necessary, using a much more modern sqlite than the system one can yield a pretty good speed increase in itself
01:53:26FromDiscord<voidwalker> I like the syntax in this one: https://github.com/ire4ever1190/ponairi

04:02:13FromDiscord<jtv> Sorry @Nilts I was at a dinner now I'm headed to bed, but I'll be around more tomorrow
04:08:23FromDiscord<jtv> Generally scopes are hierarchical though, where if I can't find a variable on a use in the local scope I go searching parent scopes. Pushing and popping may or may not make sense depending on how you're dealing w/ your tree, but you can always stash a reference to the scope in the tree.
04:10:24FromDiscord<jtv> But yeah, the symbol table generally just helps you check and produce code, it doesn't live while you're running. Tho, for some kinds of interpreters, it might make more practical sense if you're going to do a lot of runtime type lookup stuff. There are cases where it can work

07:57:00FromDiscord<Arathanis> clearly i dont know how eval works
07:58:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It only does single line since it's on irce
07:58:36FromDiscord<Arathanis> ohhh got it
07:59:28FromDiscord<Arathanis> !eval var mySeq = @[1, 2, 3]; echo mySeq; echo refMySeq[]; refMySeq[] = @[4, 5, 6, 7]; echo mySeq
07:59:31NimBotCompile failed: /usercode/in.nim(1, 42) Error: undeclared identifier: 'refMySeq'
07:59:53FromDiscord<Arathanis> !eval var mySeq = @[1, 2, 3]; var refMySeq = mySeq.addr; echo mySeq; echo refMySeq[]; refMySeq[] = @[4, 5, 6, 7]; echo mySeq
07:59:56NimBot@[1, 2, 3]↔@[1, 2, 3]↔@[4, 5, 6, 7]
08:00:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That's also not a `ref seq` but a `ptr seq`
08:00:39FromDiscord<Arathanis> that makes sense
08:01:19FromDiscord<Arathanis> cause its unsafe and ptr is designed to be "unsafe"
08:01:26FromDiscord<Arathanis> whereas ref is not
08:01:36FromDiscord<Arathanis> so if you could just `.addr` any old thing to get a ref it would be
08:01:39FromDiscord<Arathanis> not great
08:01:51FromDiscord<Arathanis> but a ptr makes more sense
08:02:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Not really
08:02:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Since that's not what they asked
08:02:39FromDiscord<Arathanis> yes you are right, i was more messing around than anything else but in a mistaken way
08:02:42FromDiscord<Arathanis> i appreciate you correcting it
08:02:55FromDiscord<Arathanis> should have been ~~refMySeq~~ ptrMySeq

10:09:42PMunch@System64_~_Flandre_Scarlet, are you using the nim-tilengine wrapper?
10:20:40FromDiscord<System64 ~ Flandre Scarlet> In reply to @PMunch "@System64_~_Flandre_Scarlet, are you using": The one I did with Futhark
10:38:11FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4mex
10:38:16FromDiscord<4zv4l> like keeping it anonymous
10:41:17FromDiscord<Rika> no
10:41:36FromDiscord<Rika> you have to make either an enum type for famille, demoiselle, etc
10:41:52FromDiscord<Rika> actually ig you can just use a massive if statement or whatever
10:41:59FromDiscord<Rika> ofc i assume you dont want that so
11:01:32PMunch@System64_~_Flandre_Scarlet, oh right, that's really cool!
11:01:53PMunchI don't remember, was there a particular reason why you don't use the existing bindings?
11:03:34PMunch@4zv4l, not entirely sure what you want to achieve here
11:18:04FromDiscord<4zv4l> well I saw a Python script doing something similar and I wanted to try doing it in Nim

11:23:14FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4meH
11:23:47FromDiscord<4zv4l> oooh because it's a string and not the field ?
11:26:44FromDiscord<Rika> Yes
11:27:55FromDiscord<4zv4l> anything I can do about that ?
11:35:36FromDiscord<sOkam!> Is there something similar to `runnableExamples:` that can be used for tests, instead of for examples?

11:38:23FromDiscord<Phil> Not that I'm aware of

12:22:21PMunchsOkam, as @Phil pointed out runnableExamlpes can be used as a sort of mini-test. Basically they are compiled and run during documentation generation, and if an example fails to compile or run then it throws an error. So if you instead of doing `echo someProc() # This prints 5` does `assert someProc() == "5"` then you will get an error if `someProc` no longer returns 5.
12:23:09FromDiscord<Phil> As a sidenote, that is oen of the reasons I adopted the habit of add a documentation-compilation pipeline to any new package I make
12:23:21FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "oen" => "one"
12:26:55FromDiscord<System64 ~ Flandre Scarlet> In reply to @PMunch "I don't remember, was": I created thoses bindings before the new ones exist
12:27:10FromDiscord<System64 ~ Flandre Scarlet> Btw is there a way to do compile-time conditionnal imports?

12:53:34FromDiscord<Phil> Which is like, what do you even do with that if you don't even get a stacktrace

13:17:34FromDiscord<Require Support> possible to write a kernel module in nim? đŸ€”

14:23:12FromDiscord<NtsĂ©kees> Well, since the error comes from `oserr.nim(95)`, maybe this “address” is not the port

14:24:07FromDiscord<Ntsékees> (edit) "`oserr.nim(95)`," => "`asyncfutures.nim(437) > oserr.nim(95)`,"
14:24:17FromDiscord<Ntsékees> (edit) "`asyncfutures.nim(437)" => "`asyncfutures.nim(437)`" | "oserr.nim(95)`," => "`oserr.nim(95)`,"
14:26:42FromDiscord<0xʎ> when writing enums what is the standard of naming variants? do you prefix them, or no prefix? Also what casing is used?
14:27:22FromDiscord<0xʎ> for example for my tokens enum I have them prefixed right now with `tk`, and in camelCase
14:27:46PMunch@0xʎ, typically no prefix, and either camelCase or PascalCase
14:28:01PMunchThe name of the enum kinda works like a prefix
14:28:20PMunche.g. Token.Secure for example instead of tkSecure.
14:28:46FromDiscord<Ntsékees> In reply to @Ntsékees "No matter which port": I've used `python -m http.server` instead of `nimhttpd` and it works correctly.
14:29:13PMunchOf course in most cases you don't need the `Token.` part at all, and it will make sense from context and procedure signature what `Secure` would mean
14:30:44PMunch@Ntsékees, hmm that sounds strange
14:31:39FromDiscord<Ntsékees> anyway, issue closed of sorts, as I've found a working replacement
14:31:48PMunchJust tried it here with port 2000 and it worked just fine
14:32:25PMunchCould you run `nimhttpd --version`?
14:32:31PMunchAnd what OS are you on?
14:32:56FromDiscord<NtsĂ©kees> > ⎈ nimhttpd --version↔> 1.5.0
14:33:10PMunchHmm, that is the latest version
14:33:11FromDiscord<Ntsékees> Ubuntu Linux 22.10
14:33:29PMunchAnd a Linux system as well, same as me
14:36:53FromDiscord<0xʎ> what can I do if the variants collide with keywords
14:36:54FromDiscord<0xʎ> :/
14:37:23FromDiscord<0xʎ> I usually do `foo_` but it won't let me have the trailing underscore
14:37:42FromDiscord<Rika> What’s the whole context?
14:38:00FromDiscord<0xʎ> huh?
14:38:16FromDiscord<Rika> I don’t understand what you mean by the variants colliding with keywords
14:38:23FromDiscord<0xʎ> oh I mean enum variants
14:38:25FromDiscord<Rika> What do you mean variants? Object variants?
14:38:54FromDiscord<Rika> Well you don’t use the name, but I don’t know of any keywords that are camel case?
14:38:59FromDiscord<Rika> I don’t remember any at least
14:39:02FromDiscord<Rika> I mean Pascal case
14:39:12FromDiscord<0xʎ> I'm writing them using camelCase
14:39:46FromDiscord<0xʎ> is it more common to write them using PascalCase or camelCase
14:40:06FromDiscord<Rika> Usually it’s camel with the prefix or Pascal without, at least to me I would do such
14:40:41FromDiscord<Rika> Camel with has the keyword issue and sure there’s a workaround (I think using ` around the identifier works but it’s ugly)
14:41:05FromDiscord<0xʎ> oh ok
14:41:23FromDiscord<0xʎ> I'll just go with pascal
14:41:27FromDiscord<Rika> If you think it’s acceptable to you, wrap the enum with `
14:44:14FromDiscord<System64 ~ Flandre Scarlet> Is it normal it displays that when I try to load a JSON file? (I compiled to emscripten) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1068179566016868402/image.png

15:27:30FromDiscord<arkanoid> there so much information on the Nim chats that will be lost forever. if all the chat thing were forum posts, the community would feel much larger
15:28:10FromDiscord<Phil> On the one hand, yes, on the other: Often enough it's the 500th rendition on "How do I parse a string into an enum" ?
15:28:26FromDiscord<Phil> And the forum isn't really great for searchability either, SO imo is better there
15:28:58FromDiscord<Phil> Which is why I maintain my stance that for semi-complex questions that you couldn't find an answer to elsewhere, do a self answered SO question for the next person.
15:31:38FromDiscord<Phil> As for expect, I never used it, nor pexpect in python, so I'm not particularly familiar what ability is even looked for

15:33:01FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @New "In fact, u right.": I mean, often times I find the answeres here, I just "document" them in SO questions 😄
15:37:08FromDiscord<ringabout> Feeding them to GPT or similar might help 😜
15:38:09FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @New "In fact, u right.": https://github.com/Vindaar/shell↔> Some terminal commands will require user input. Starting from version v0.5.0, basic support for a expect / send feature is available. It allows for functionality similar to the =expect(1)= program.
15:39:59FromDiscord<Phil> So you could figure out how to use expect with that, write up an example and post it on SO 😄
15:42:25FromDiscord<New> In reply to @Isofruit "https://github.com/Vindaar/shell > Some terminal": i found that previously but not understand how to use <:PES2_Shrug:513352546341879808> ↔And not understand is it necessary to have `expect` at end machine or not <:PES2_Shrug:513352546341879808>
15:42:44FromDiscord<Phil> In that case, Vindaar your type is requested
15:43:06FromDiscord<Phil> Because I don't have the 5 mins to invest to figure it out myself, about to head out
15:45:28FromDiscord<Vindaar> you don't need expect anymore. expect would be some string that appears in the output e.g. some yes/no query. I added the to option to just send though, because @ShalokShalom asked for it recently. anyway, what's not clear about the Readme explaining how it works?

15:51:33FromDiscord<Vindaar> yes, in principle (single ticks are not valid though, have to use " for strings) . but in this particular case I consider that a very bad idea. you really don't want to hardcode your password into a code snippet like that. set up an ssh key for passwordless ssh login (if that's encrypted of course you'd need a password for that too).

17:37:32FromDiscord<Leftbones> How do I deal with an ambiguous call when both `unicode` and `strutils` have an `align` proc?
17:37:46FromDiscord<Leftbones> doing `str.unicode.align(...)` was my first idea but that didn't work
17:38:04FromDiscord<enthus1ast> strutils.align()
17:38:16FromDiscord<Leftbones> Oh yeah I guess I can just call it that way huh
17:38:37FromDiscord<enthus1ast> so\: strutils.align(yourString, 3)
17:39:02FromDiscord<Leftbones> Yeah that did it lol, brain lapse.

17:40:04FromDiscord<enthus1ast> yeah
17:40:16FromDiscord<Leftbones> Teaching myself Nim by remaking an old text editor of mine (which is how I like to learn new languages) and I'm working out how to offset the contents of the lines based on the buffer scrolling offsets
17:40:23FromDiscord<enthus1ast> another option is, if you do not use eg strutils.align
17:40:28FromDiscord<Leftbones> I got vertical offsets to work but horizontal offsets are giving me issues
17:40:31FromDiscord<enthus1ast> import strutils except align
17:40:39FromDiscord<Leftbones> In reply to @enthus1ast "import strutils except align": Didn't know this was an option, that's nice to know, thanks
17:45:03FromDiscord<Leftbones> Hm. Maybe typing this out will help me understand, or maybe someone else has an idea. I have a buffer that's a grid of cells (just characters for now) and a sequence of strings loaded from lines of a file. I'm scrolling the buffer vertically by writing the contents to the buffer cells offset by the vertical scroll amount. That works fine. But horizontal scrolling I can't offset the same way because I'm then working with a string, rather
17:46:10FromDiscord<Leftbones> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1068225349525180497/Screen_Recording_2023-01-26_at_11.45.16_AM.mov
17:47:08FromDiscord<Leftbones> I'm figuring I need to just check if the x scroll offset is greater than the length of the string, then convert the string to a sequence and insert it into the buffer like that. Maybe that would work.
17:48:17FromDiscord<Leftbones> One problem is that converting the string line to a sequence removes all of the whitespace
17:51:11FromDiscord<Leftbones> Oh if I just skip converting the string to a sequence that works out fine. Empty discord debugging lol.

21:50:38FromDiscord<pyolyokh> "F0 divided by 2 is 78" -> in decimal this is "240 divided by 2 is 120"

23:13:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dont see the point though
23:14:13FromDiscord<sOkam!> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4mih
23:14:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You're using an alias that's the point to alias a type
23:14:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But it's not a complicated macro to get to the bottom
23:15:20FromDiscord<sOkam!> i've never written a macro ever, though. i have no clue how to navigate them. i tried before, and they are like cryptograms for me for some reason 😔
23:18:20termerI hit a very interesting issue with Nim's asyncnet module
23:18:55termerIn a multithreaded environment with asynchttpserver, you're supposed to call shouldAcceptRequest to check if the maximum number of file descritors have been reached
23:19:42termerhowever, in a multithreaded environment, there's apparently a vulnerability to race conditions, so 2 concurrent calls can return true even if a file descriptor has been opened
23:19:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4mik
23:20:14termerif you're restarting your HTTP thread, this leads to a memory leak if you're not closing your AsyncHttpServer socket
23:20:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> 'you're supposed to call shouldAcceptRequest to check if the maximum number of file descritors have been reached'↔↔that's a race condition and a half
23:20:27termerbut if you are, then it can lead to a read to nil, which crashes the program
23:20:57termerI'll test it out with locks, but this looks like an area that could be documented
23:21:08termerI don't have this issue in a singlethreaded environment
23:21:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Even with locks you can have a third program that opens another file descriptor
23:21:20*azimut quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
23:21:21*azimut_ joined #nim
23:21:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So it'll work without anything else happening on the PC
23:21:54termerSo perhaps both the locking during the check and locking during the sleep between checks is necessary
23:22:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The solution should be just "attempt to open and handle in the case it errors"
23:22:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If that fails to work then a PR is needed to make it work
23:22:33termerwell the issue is that the crash happens when closing the AsyncHttpServer
23:22:54termerI think it must be trying to close connections that are nil
23:22:58termerwhich seems like a bug
23:25:02termerI suppose this could be mitigated by handling IOSelectorsException around the accept call
23:26:44FromDiscord<sOkam!> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4mil
23:28:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> And here i thought sokam said i was rude
23:29:13termerInterestingly, wrapping the acceptRequest call with a try/except doesn't solve the problem
23:29:22termerit only gets called a few times before something outside of that loop triggers it
23:29:28termersomewhere in async world
23:29:41termerthe stack trace is useless lol
23:29:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i mean if you attempt to open a socket and it cannot an exception should be raised
23:29:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So it's... quite silly how it presently works
23:30:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Same with if attempt to add an asyncfd
23:30:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'd suggest using chronos
23:30:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It likely isnt this silly
23:31:05termerPart of this could be mitigated if acceptRequest didn't take a callback
23:31:17termercause it sends that away to be run some other place with asyncCheck
23:31:21termerinstead of awaiting it right there
23:31:58termerwith how it is currently, the exception gets raised in the context of the place where polling started
23:32:04termerso in this case, a waitFor in another proc
23:32:28termerIs Chronos good? I never wanted to touch that stuff cause it doesn't use asyncdispatch
23:32:39termerand introduces a whole new chain of dependencies
23:35:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's generally a better async implementation afaik
23:35:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I dont use async so cannot say much
23:45:22termerlooks like I'm gonna be using chronos
23:48:21termerSo, I'm able to ward off some of the errors by restructuring things
23:48:25termerbut it still eventually reads from nil
23:48:30termeron close
23:49:49termerit looks like a socket is nil somewhere
23:50:25termerok......
23:50:34termerso now I have to check whether the socket is nil
23:50:59termerThe crashes stop when I add a nil check before doing any closing inside of asyncnet.nim
23:51:56termerThere's also a memory leak here somewhere
23:52:03termermaybe
23:56:44termerGuess I'm nuking this code and starting with Chronos lol
23:57:02termernim async networking is pretty insane
