00:01 < usa> Should I be concerned if I submit a change to the code review
system and I get an email bounce from golang-dev saying I am not subscribed?
00:01 -!- goplexian [n=acombas@d154-20-0-9.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #go-nuts
00:02 <+iant> usa: did you pick any other reviewer?  if not, then the code
review will be there but nobody will know about it
00:03 < usa> No, I didn't pick any other reviwer.
00:03 <+iant> what is the issue number?
00:03 < usa> 181097
00:06 <+iant> yeah, I don't think I got an e-mail about that, I do see it in
the codereview site, though
00:06 < dho> but a hostname is not a fqdn :(
00:06 < dho> people who do that should stop breaking dns :(

00:07 < usa> Nothing at all links hostnames and DNS apart from convention
00:08 < usa> Having a hostname of mungo.bath.ac.uk is fine.
00:09 -!- GeoBSD [n=geocalc@lns-bzn-20-82-64-3-143.adsl.proxad.net] has quit [Read
error: 60 (Operation timed out)]
00:11 < dho> having a hostname of mungo is fine.  if mungo belongs to the
bath.ac.uk domain, that's a different story.
00:12 < usa> Why do you believe that?
00:12 -!- WalterMundt [n=waltermu@twiki/developer/EtherMage] has quit ["Leaving."]
00:13 -!- niekie [i=quasselc@CAcert/Assurer/niekie] has quit [Read error: 60
(Operation timed out)]
00:13 < dho> a) because a large number of network software packages require
that assumption to be true to function properly (for various reasons)
00:14 < usa> Can you name one?
00:14 < dho> spread, for starters.
00:14 < dho> b) because it's a lot easier to maintain hostnames when you
have a hostname and the rest is managed by dns, especially in larger environments
00:15 < usa> Let me see what I can find about "spread".
00:15 < dho> let me help you: http://www.spread.org/
00:15 -!- Guest24563 [n=elmar@188.107.223.163] has quit ["Leaving"]
00:16 -!- ShadowIce [n=pyoro@unaffiliated/shadowice-x841044] has quit
["Verlassend"]
00:16 < usa> Thanks, looking at it now.  How does spread deal with
multihomed hosts?
00:16 < dho> our commercial smtp platform also requires it (partially
because spread requires it)
00:16 < dho> multihomed in what sense?  part of multiple domains?
00:17 < dho> or on multiple network segments
00:17 < usa> The latter.
00:18 < dho> hosts communicating with each other are required to be on the
same segment
00:20 -!- binaryjohn [n=binaryjo@cpe-24-30-132-50.san.res.rr.com] has quit [Read
error: 110 (Connection timed out)]
00:21 < usa> So take mungo again.  It has multiple DNS entries, one for each
LAN that it is on, e.g.  mungo.lan1.bath.ac.uk, mungo.lan2.bath.ac.uk, ...
mungo.lan12.bath.ac.uk.  These allow both forward and reverse lookups, so there
are also entries in the 38.138.in-addr.arpa domaind.
00:21 -!- hyakuhei [n=hyakuhei@unaffiliated/robc] has quit [Read error: 113 (No
route to host)]
00:22 < usa> The typical /etc/resolv.conf file provided has 'search'
directives which say something like 'lan4.bath.ac.uk bath.ac.uk'
00:23 < usa> and most people just mount "mungo" rather than anything else.
Do you see anything broken so far?
00:23 < dho> Maybe, but continue
00:24 < asyncster> wow, gofmt kinda breaks down at some of the values at the
end of the test table:

00:25 -!- Norgg [n=norgg@norgg.org] has quit [Read error: 104 (Connection reset by

00:25 < usa> There are also A records for mungo.bath.ac.uk, which list all
the interfaces.
00:26 < dho> Ok
00:26 < dho> So presumably clients looking for `mungo' are served the proper
A record for their view
00:28 < usa> The 'search' record means that they will get the correct one,
assuming that they allow DHCP to configure their /etc/resolv.conf.
00:29 < usa> However we wish to present the idea that mungo.bath.ac.uk is
one machine, not a dozen.
00:30 < usa> So far we are just using the DNS to present the information.
00:31 -!- r2p2 [n=billy@v32671.1blu.de] has left #go-nuts []
00:32 < dho> Ok, and you can present that by using views
00:33 < usa> Now the question is what happens if some subdomain owner
decides that they want to have the name "mungo" for one of their machines.  They
can have mungo.french.lan8.bath.ac.uk.  We want someone who logs in to see the
mungo.bath.ac.uk name in the login banner, not the mungo.lanXX.bath.ac.uk name and
not just mungo.
00:35 < dho> and you can configure the login banner too
00:35 < usa> We don't want just mungo, cos that might be the french one, and
we don't want to get people concerned if they connect via a different LAN.  Yes we
could hard code the banner in various places, but then we would have to make
simular changes to "mary" and "midge".  It is much simpler to just set the
hostname to be what we want, and let the normal login program print out the normal
banner.
00:37 < usa> Yes, we can configure the login banner, and yes we can hack the
ftp server, and yes we can hack the sshd....  The point is that we don't have to.
The hostname has nothing to do with the DNS.  Of course the "domainname" command
typically has nothing to do with the DNS either.
00:39 < dho> ok

00:40 -!- Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #go-nuts
00:42 < usa> I can not see anything in the spread user guide which worries
about the hostname, none of the pretty pictures shows a multihomed host so perhaps
I need a more technical guide?
00:42 < dho> There's a limit on the length of the name, which is not large
enough to contain a fully qualified domain name as per the spec.
00:43 -!- kanru [n=kanru@61-30-10-70.static.tfn.net.tw] has joined #go-nuts
00:43 < dho> And Spread talks over a single network segment, so if you want
it talking over multiple segments, you have to either configure multiple spread
segments, or talk over a more inclusive broadcast address (if that is an option)
00:43 < dho> (in a nutshell)
00:45 -!- jhh [n=jhh@f049008158.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit []
00:48 < usa> If we had been running "spread" on mungo, then it would be able
to talk to a dozen LANs directly, and could therefore just use normal broadcast
addresses on each LAN.  The "%h" parameter in the config file would resolve to
mungo.bath.ac.uk, and everyone would be happy - we wouldn't have to add "spread"
to the list of things to hack (/etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, ftpd, sshd).
00:48 < usa> Yes there is a limit on the length of the value returned by the
uname system call.
00:48 < dho> except that all the other members of the spread ring need to
know the hosts as well.
00:49 < dho> %h might work great locally, but not if you are
machine1.fullyqualifieddomainname.com and you need to talk to machine2.  and
machine3.  as well
00:50 < anticw> uname only exists for linux
00:50 < dho> anticw: ?

00:50 -!- youngbull [n=youngbul@ti0025a380-dhcp1720.bb.online.no] has joined
#go-nuts
00:50 < usa> anticw, yes
00:51 < dho> anticw: freebsd at least gets uname from sysctls iirc
00:51 < dho> which is why that wouldn't be there.
00:51 < dho> i'd guess darwin is similar.
00:51 < anticw> dho: well, you need struct Utsname too
00:51 < usa> uname is in POSIX (according to the linux manual pages in front
of me)
00:51 < anticw> dho: i came across this fixing up the resolver and left it
as a 'todo' for now
00:52 < anticw> my darwin/freebsd env's suck so unless i can make changes
and break them (PLEASE GOD ALLOW THAT) some stuff has to wait
00:52 < gnuvince> Can string() convert from integer to a string?
00:52 < anticw> usa: it's just glue that's missing for now, i'll fix it
tonight

00:54 -!- uxp [n=uxp@uxp.dsl.xmission.com] has joined #go-nuts
00:54 < dho> yeah, freebsd uses sysctls
00:55 < dho> I think that uname should probably move into os.uname since it
isn't a syscall everywhere.
00:55 < anticw> dho: you're using freebsd 7.2 ?
00:55 < dho> 8-rel and head
00:55 < anticw> or 8 ?
00:55 < dho> but it should work on 7.2
00:55 < anticw> okies ...  i'll snarf the ISOs
00:55 < dho> (8 is preferred...)
00:56 < anticw> 8.0 release good enough?  head seems like a lot more work
for no gain when it comes to go testing/validation
00:56 < dho> 8-rel is fine
00:56 < dho> s/fine/preferred/
00:57 < dho> i was just saying that in case you meant you were snarfing the
7.2 isos :)
00:57 * dho -> heading home

routine.
01:02 < anticw> usa: it's not a problem making it work for other OSes, it's
just one on many missing system calls
01:02 < anticw> it's on my list :-)
01:02 < anticw> maybe tonight ill get it sorted for darwin, freebsd probably

03:10 < jackman> It's awesome.
03:10 < jackman> It's like the only language that has CSP without it being
weirdly tacked on.
03:11 < jackman> It's FAST.
03:11 < skelterjohn> whenever someone talks about CSP I hear "constraint
satisfaction problem" in my head
03:11 < me__> it has a cool mascot
03:11 < skelterjohn> and i have a lot of trouble remembering what they're
actually talking about
03:11 < jackman> lmao
03:11 < jackman> CSP==Anal Retention, then?
03:12 < skelterjohn> ?
03:12 < jackman> err...  maybe the lack thereof?
03:12 < me__> complicated squirrely processes
03:13 < waht2> so with go you can created executable binaries?
03:13 <+iant> yes
03:13 < waht2> when was the last time somebody made a language like that
03:14 < waht2> interesting
03:14 < jackman> ummm...
03:14 < jackman> 1970?
03:14 < waht2> that's what i mean
03:14 < goplexian> waht2, yes, thats the point
03:14 < waht2> if you want a language that can actually make binary
executables your most modern choice is c++
03:14 < waht2> oh i like this already
03:15 < jackman> everything after that was a scripting language, a ripoff of
C, or a compiled scripting language.
03:15 < waht2> at first I thought oh great google is coming out with some
scripting lang or java wannabe just to muddy the waters against microsoft
03:15 < goplexian> waht2, was the most modern choice, now there is also Go
:P
03:15 < waht2> well i'm sold
03:15 < waht2> at least somewhat
03:15 < jackman> the video is awesome.
03:15 < waht2> i'll try it
03:15 < jackman> did you already see it?
03:15 < skelterjohn> i'm pretty sure that go wasn't created as a strategic
decision :)
03:15 <+iant> in fairness there have been other compiled languages, though
none are very popular that I know of; e.g., Ada
03:16 < jackman> Is ada the one that uses the symbols?
03:16 -!- slashus2 [n=slashus2@74-137-26-8.dhcp.insightbb.com] has joined #go-nuts
03:16 < goplexian> skelterjohn, I think its highly strategic
03:16 < waht2> so who's going to write the book for oreilly
03:16 < waht2> heh
03:16 < me__> jackman: no, i think you're thinking of apl?  Ada uses
english...
03:16 < waht2> well i hope there's some good documentation though
03:16 <+iant> jackman: not sure what you mean, Ada is a sort of PL/1 like
language from the US DoD
03:17 < waht2> yeah but ada predates c++ doesn't it
03:17 <+iant> they were developed around the same time, I suppose
03:17 < jackman> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language)
03:18 < waht2> the thing thats too bad is microsoft used the "c" name in c#
to get it's books to take shelf space at the bookstore and get into managers minds
as a c derivative
03:18 < skelterjohn> goplexian: it's possible that google encouraged it
because it was strategic, but i think the original whiteboard meeting was just
some guys thinking about what would make a cool language
03:18 < jackman> I just read the Art of Unix Programming...
03:18 < jackman> It made me think how sad the whole programming situation
was.
03:18 < jackman> Then I watched the Go Tech Talk.  :)
03:18 < waht2> your aaverage pointy hair wont recognize c# is like java++
and go is the real next c
03:19 < jackman> If you haven't seen this, you should:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmxnCEa8Ctw
03:19 < waht2> this go tech talk is on the website
03:19 < waht2> oh i see it
03:19 < jackman> this one is different
03:19 < jackman> it's pre-go
03:19 < jackman> NewSqueak
03:20 < jackman> Rob Pike is like the Tyler Durden of programming.
03:21 < jessta> lol, codes like you want to code?
03:21 < jackman> YES!
03:21 < jackman> Have you seen Rob Pike?
03:21 < wurtog> will go have the name changed or not ?
03:22 < waht2> i swear the word orthogonal is almost as annoying as paradigm
03:25 < waht2> so what will be the first os written in go
03:25 < waht2> and why would it be better than an os written in c
03:26 < jackman> probably compile time.  :)
03:26 -!- wurtog [n=wurtog@189.104.90.65] has left #go-nuts ["Leaving"]
03:26 < waht2> Performance: typically within 10-20% of C.
03:26 < waht2> :(
03:29 < jackman> That's the point, isn't it?
03:29 < jackman> A programmer friendly language that competes with C?
03:30 < goplexian> wurtog I get the impression that the answer is probably
no, but I think it is a matter for managers not developers
03:31 < goplexian> dangit didnt see he left
03:32 < dho> oh my god
03:33 < jackman> Why would anyone /want/ to change the language?  Is
something wrong with it?
03:33 < dho> i give up on qtvali
03:34 < goplexian> dho, what took you so long?
03:34 < dho> He kept almost getting the point in the last thread
03:34 < dho> There have now been at least 5 unique people asking him to shut
the fuck up and code
03:34 < anticw> dho: what point is that?
03:34 < dho> anticw: any of them
03:35 < dho> but it would be like another follow-up email he would write
that would completely obliterate it
03:35 < dho> and seriously, how does he spend like 20 hours a day writing
and replying to a mailing list
03:35 < dho> oh my god
03:35 < anticw> anyhow, golang S/N is really bad now because of the google
hype associated with it
03:36 < dho> seriously, is there a reliable way for me to trash any topics
that he starts and any posts or replies to his posts that appear on the list using
gmail?
03:36 < dho> sieve or something?
03:36 < anticw> dho: gmail has filters
03:36 < dho> where are they
03:36 < dho> oh there they are
03:37 < goplexian> anticw, yeah its getting pretty bad, I think some are
purposefully trying to be disruptive now
03:37 * dho marks anything from qtvali@gmail.com, containing qtvali or tambet in
the text go to the trash
03:37 < goplexian> lol
03:38 < dho> i think this will make my life easier
03:38 < dho> now i don't have to read his reply to my post either
03:38 < dho> or anybody replying to him
03:38 < dho> what a great idea
03:38 < anticw> i was thinking about a bay area Go Meetup at some point, not
sure though, might turn into a pointless wankfest
03:40 < dho> too bad i'm not there anymore
03:40 * dho is in balto
03:40 < dho> seems to be a high concentration of interested people at jhu
03:40 < dho> anyway, i'm gonna jet
03:40 < goplexian> night
03:40 < dho> anticw: good luck with the freebsd stuff, let me know if you
have any questions

03:52 < kfx> no window manager is safe from emacs
03:52 < goplexian> heh no,
03:52 < goplexian> but thats ok, its worth the sacrifice
03:53 < goplexian> someday it will just be emacs running directly ontop of

03:53 < goplexian> then I wont need a wm
03:54 < kfx> or a shower
03:54 < jackman> lmao
03:54 < goplexian> lol
03:55 < jackman> is emacs starting to use the windows button?
03:56 < goplexian> no thats why i was able to use it for the wm in place of
alt
03:56 < jackman> I can't seem to find a reference to what NewSqueak was
actually used for.
03:56 < jackman> Pike said he wrote it to write a wm...

03:58 < me__> inspired Alef, later Limbo...
03:59 < NinoScript> ;'
04:00 < goplexian> Now I know I remember seeing a lot of positive articles
when Go was first released, I think this is rather biased
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)#Reception
04:01 < goplexian> I've never heard of informationweek, but why do they get
top paragraph when it comes to "Reception" for Go?
04:02 < jackman> wow
04:02 < jackman> that section is a little bitchy
04:03 < peterallenwebb> I saw that on wikipedia too.  The article is pretty
hilarious.
04:03 < kfx> informationweek is an industry rag that used to get mailed out
for free to everyone
04:03 < peterallenwebb> Basically, the guy is like "I have a friend that
programs.  He says there are already enough languages."
04:03 < goplexian> and it doesn't even make sense, its called reception but
he second paragraph is just a quote from Pike, how is that considered reception?
04:04 < kfx> then their advertisers got sick of paying I guess because now
it's just another online tech 'magazine'
04:04 < waht2> because google runs google and can put the search results
anyways they want
04:05 < kfx> "A blog posting in InformationWeek considers the creation of a
new language to be unjustified given that many other languages already existed,"
04:05 < goplexian> by virtue of the fact that the information is taken from
"a blog posting" by information week, I think I should edit the page and add some
positive other "blog postings" about Go
04:05 < kfx> this is about on par with the writing in informationweek,
historically speaking
04:05 < kfx> unless they can use the term 'service oriented architecture'
they hate it
04:05 < jackman> lol
04:05 < kfx> but you'd think they'd at least be clever enough to avoid the
'stop having ideas, we have enough' argument
04:06 < goplexian> I guess they just are not that clever
04:06 < kfx> which would be why they went out of print
04:07 < goplexian> Yeah, I'm going to edit that page, that bugs me
04:07 < jackman> can we include something like "After Google hosted one of
their Tech Talks with Rob Pike presenting the language, it has gained popularity
and momentum.  IRC-ers say, 'It's AWESOME!'"
04:07 < goplexian> I've lost 50lbs already!
04:07 < jackman> hehehe
04:07 < JBeshir> My bald patch is completely gone!
04:08 < kfx> Search Results Found 670 items in InformationWeek for coding
04:09 < kfx> Search Results Found 13867 items in InformationWeek for
enterprise
04:09 < jackman> You can say something like "As of [today], there are x
regulars on the IRC channel dedicated to Go and y subscribers to the mailing list.
The golang.com website has gotten z hits and the Tech Talk [insert variable here]
hits.
04:09 < kfx> that's about how I remember their priorities
04:09 < peterallenwebb> zomg.  That article is the third google result I get
for "go programming language".
04:10 < goplexian> I guess all that SEO paid off then :/
04:10 < JBeshir> SEO?  It's Wikipedia...
04:10 < goplexian> Oh i thought he meant the newsweek article
04:11 < peterallenwebb> meant the informationweek article.
04:11 < goplexian> s/new/information/week
04:11 < JBeshir> Huh.
04:11 < JBeshir> I don't get it on the first page at all.
04:11 < goplexian> yeah that
04:13 < peterallenwebb> it is further down for me when i log out of my
google account but still there.
04:13 < peterallenwebb> they so crazy.
04:15 < waht2> so what if you wrote a c compiler in go
04:15 < waht2> would it be better
04:15 < kfx> give it a try
04:15 < kfx> let us know what you find out
04:15 < waht2> wait wait what if you wrong the c# runtime in go
04:15 < waht2> would it improve performance
04:16 < jackman> everything's better in go.
04:16 < waht2> i can't wait for visual studio go
04:16 < kfx> did you use wrong as a verb because you knew it wouldn't be
write
04:16 < waht2> visual go is gonna be awesome
04:16 < waht2> woah that was weird
04:16 < waht2> my brain is retarded
04:17 < waht2> what kind of animal will be on the cover of the go book from
oreilly
04:18 < waht2> the publishing industry must love this flood of languages

04:21 < waht2> can't keep up with changing tech
04:21 < sanjid> tbh, I learned to code 6 months ago
04:21 < sanjid> I'm still picking a language
04:21 < sanjid> you're off
04:21 < waht2> well pick go
04:22 < waht2> its the best
04:22 < sanjid> whatever you say
04:23 < waht2> think about it by the time most of these ruby and c# weenies
get around to learning go you'll already have years experience
04:23 < KirkMcDonald> Why would you pick just one language?
04:23 < sanjid> exactly, I haven't
04:23 < waht2> because you have to be decisive
04:23 < sanjid> I've gotten the hang of C, and I'm learning python
04:23 < KirkMcDonald> waht2: I see.

04:29 < waht2> oh crap

05:09 < jackman> So...  Just out of curiousity, what is the thrust of this

05:09 < jackman> Is it supposed to be a help channel or just general
conversation related to go?
05:10 <+iant> Any of the above, I think, as long as it is in fact related to
Go somehow
05:10 < jackman> I just joined the mailing list and I was looking at the
archives...
05:10 < jackman> I am seeing that there is some contention about the
enforced curly brace placement.
05:11 < jackman> Was there a vote or was it just dictacted that all braced
functions must be followed by a brace on the same line?
05:11 < KirkMcDonald> I am not altogether fond of the newline/semicolon
change, in its current incarnation.
05:11 <+iant> After discussion, it was dictated
05:11 < KirkMcDonald> I like the idea of permitting newlines as statement
terminators.
05:12 < KirkMcDonald> I do not like implemented it as a lexical hack.
05:12 < KirkMcDonald> implementing*
05:13 < waht2> seriously though why don't the go people just work on c++0x
05:13 < waht2> isn't it kind of vain to make a whole new systems language
05:13 < KirkMcDonald> waht2: Because so's yer face.
05:13 <+iant> waht2: I think that is covered in the FAQ
05:13 < jackman> I have always used main() \n { \n code \n }.  It makes the
code cleaner/easier to read IMHO.
05:13 < jackman> ya
05:13 < waht2> uhh
05:13 < jackman> i saw it in the faq
05:13 < waht2> heh
05:13 < jackman> but i just want the option.
05:14 <+iant> I meant the question about c++0x is in the FAQ
05:15 < waht2> i don't see it
05:15 < jackman> link?
05:15 < KirkMcDonald> I had been using a style where I was splitting
function signatures across multiple lines, but had to abandon it given the newline
change.
05:15 < waht2> but also aren't they kind of overrating the compiling time
savings
05:15 < KirkMcDonald> Which annoyed me.
05:15 <+iant> waht2:
http://golang.org/doc/go_lang_faq.html#creating_a_new_language
05:15 < KirkMcDonald> waht2: No.
05:15 < waht2> does google have some huge private code that takes 100 hours
to compile or something
05:16 < KirkMcDonald> Creating a new language will not solve the compilation
times of existing C++ code-bases.
05:16 < waht2> why is saving compile time a big deal for a language that has
binary executables
05:16 < waht2> sure compile time maybe useful in something like perl but the
users aren't going to be compiling their operating system or browser
05:17 < KirkMcDonald> Clearly it is important to someone.
05:18 < waht2> yeah some guys at google with 20% of their work schedule to
fool around in
05:18 < jackman> the only easy fix i see is to include gofmt in a makefile
to convert all the code to new style into a new directory and compile that
05:19 < waht2> i mean are they envisioning some new advantage for having
users compile it or something
05:19 < KirkMcDonald> It is about having faster turnaround in the
development cycle.
05:19 < waht2> what kind of apps take that long to compile
05:20 < jackman> KirkMcDonald: are you talking about keystrokes, then?
05:20 < goplexian> serious ones 100k of C/C++ can take a while to compile,
and Go can do it in seconds
05:20 < jackman> my pinky has to do something or it'll feel left out.  :(
05:20 * mauke rants a bit about "C/C++"
05:20 < waht2> how long does a linux kernel take to compile
05:20 < jackman> 5 min?
05:20 < waht2> i don't bother compiling them anymore but i seem to remember
pretty fast
05:21 < waht2> yes
05:21 < waht2> so wow lets rewrite linux in go so it compiles in 30 seconds
05:21 < waht2> that will save time
05:21 < jackman> ya...
05:21 < mauke> or you could compile it using tinycc :-)
05:22 < jackman> So...  Are there other people who care about braces or am I
talking to myself?
05:22 < waht2> what is the issue with braces
05:23 < jackman> I like them on their own lines.  Go doesn't.
05:23 <+iant> the general feeling of the Go developers is that there should
be just one right way to format a program; it doesn't have to be the best possible
way, it just has to be adequate
05:24 < waht2> you can't put the bracket on its own line?
05:24 < waht2> doesn't that get ugly?
05:24 < jackman> iant: that sounds a little arrogant.
05:24 < waht2> so we all have to code in the style rob pike likes
05:24 < waht2> great
05:24 < anticw> waht2: you can compile a kernel in 30s right now
05:24 <+iant> jackman: the goal is not arrogance; it is removing style
issues as an issue
05:24 <+iant> there is a gofmt program which can rewrite Go programs into
the required style
05:24 < waht2> well then just imagine if we rewrite linux go it might
compile in 5 seconds!  imagine the savings in development time
05:24 < anticw> waht2: you don't *have* to do anything, you have choices
05:25 < jackman> iant: doesn't gofmt write the code back to the original
file?
05:25 < waht2> but he just said you dont have a choice, you can't use the
bracket that way
05:25 < anticw> compilation time isn't that interesting, i wish it was never
made much a big deal of
05:25 <+iant> jackman: it can be used that way, but there are other ways to
use it also
05:25 < waht2> but thats one of the only real selling points
05:25 < jackman> iant: that means that i can't look at my style when I edit
the code again.
05:25 < anticw> waht2: http://python.org/
05:25 < waht2> what else do they have to make a big deal of
05:25 < waht2> what about python
05:26 < anticw> Go isn't for you, that's fine ...  move along then
05:26 < waht2> well if google wants this thing to help them dominate the

05:28 < Ycros> waht2: you don't like it, well then, don't use it.  Thousands
of languages out there :)
05:29 < waht2> i'm just saying argueing over this syntax rules is like
arguing what color to paint a toolshed or how ever that old saying goes
05:29 < waht2> tell me what the language can do for me now how the brackets
are different from c
05:29 < waht2> who cares
05:30 < anticw> read the faq, check the examples
05:30 < KirkMcDonald> Or just read the spec.
05:30 < waht2> thats what was wrong with c++ i feel, the brackets where just
not right, maybe with new brackets we can have a better future
05:31 < anticw> if you think brackets are what was wrong with c++, well, i
think you'll find a lot of people who have bigger complaints
05:31 < Ycros> waht2: arguing over syntax rules IS like painting a bikeshed,
which is exactly why there is a set of rules for go, and a program to enforce them
05:32 < Ycros> jackman: but maybe that comment should have been pointed at
you
05:32 < jackman> Ycros: Ya...  I'm not too broken up about it.  I'll either
just adapt or use gofmt.  :)
05:33 < jessta> code formating is important, human beings do really good
pattern matching, but only if the pattern is visable
05:33 < jackman> Ycros: I was just hoping someone was taking votes.  :)
05:33 < jessta> having all go code with the same formating leads to
shallower bugs
05:34 < jackman> jessta: that's why i like lots of newlines and whitespace
(in response to pattern matching).
05:34 < Ycros> jackman: votes can be taken, and if accepted, gofmt can be
altered :P
05:34 < jackman> it's just easier.
05:34 < jessta> jackman: good for you, but bad for everyone else if it's
different
05:35 < jackman> Is the most efficient means of managing gofmt and my coding
style to incorporate it into makefile?
05:35 < anticw> teach your editor how to invoke gofmt
05:35 < jackman> well, yes, that's the idea -- i just don't want to ever see
the new style.  i want it kept hiddent from me.
05:36 < skelterjohn> why keep formatting hidden?
05:36 < skelterjohn> removes the point of formatting
05:36 < anticw> i think most common editors will have decent support fairly
soon, including formatting rules
05:37 < jackman> skelterjohn: it's just what we've been talking about.
humans are pattern matchers, but only with pattern's they're familiar with and can
easily be seen.
05:37 < anticw> iant: is here a plan to move the section that holds the
'reflection' data at some point?
05:37 < anticw> iant: i'm talking 6g/6l mostly
05:38 < jessta> jackman: learning a new style isn't hard, and it will allow
you to read other people's code
05:38 <+iant> anticw: move it where?  I'm not sure I understand the question
05:38 < skelterjohn> jackman: right, and if you have your editor hide the
true formatting somehow, you will never become familiar with the common go
formatting
05:38 < KirkMcDonald> It is even possible to convince e.g.  vim to use
different styles under different conditions.
05:38 < anticw> iant: it seems right now it looks like a symbol table so
strip removes it
05:38 < anticw> iant: and then the runtime barfs
05:38 < jackman> someone already mentioned on the mailing list the tendency
for jobs to stick with one coding style

05:45 < jessta> I'm sugguesting that the software should adapt to a standard
to make it easier for all humans
05:46 < skelterjohn> well, when the shirt color doesn't actually matter and
people call people with different colored shirts ugly...then let's just have on
colored shirt
05:46 < jackman> i'm not saying it's universally ugly.  i'm just saying i
don't like it.

05:51 < jackman> gcc doesn't care about coding style -- it just checks for

05:52 < jackman> the semicolons still get put in
05:52 < KirkMcDonald> anticw: Yet another reason why the semicolon stuff
should be part of the syntax and not a lexical hack.
05:52 < anticw> right, the lexer does this ...  so it's a bit more picky
about some lexer details
05:52 < jackman> it's just that someone decided that coding style needed to
be dictated
05:52 < JBeshir> jackman: Yes, it was.
05:53 < JBeshir> jackman: In order to ensure that code can always be read by
other coders.
05:53 < skelterjohn> this is just one of many "it used to be this way, and i
liked it this way" issues
05:53 < skelterjohn> things change
05:53 < jackman> I can read KNF just as well as I can read KR
05:53 < jackman> gcc will compile both
05:53 < skelterjohn> it was not uncommon for someone to look at someone
else's code and call it ugly because of brace and newline policies
05:53 < jackman> i don't have to change KNF to KR to compile, tho.
05:54 < jackman> so run it through something like gofmt to reformat it?
05:54 < jackman> it's not like they're gonna care
05:54 < jackman> change it back!
05:54 < skelterjohn> so, both KNF and KR brace styles would compile fine in
gc
05:54 < jackman> i'm using examples.
05:55 < skelterjohn> use more relevant ones, then
05:55 < jackman> those work
05:55 < jackman> KNF doesn't use a newline before brace, KR does.

there have been several compiler patches from him
05:56 < goplexian> ah cool, thanks
05:56 < jackman> is there at least a switch that i can use that will permit
me to say "don't put the semicolons in"?
05:57 < KirkMcDonald> jackman: This would be bad, to have such a thing.
05:57 < skelterjohn> don't know why you want that
05:57 < jackman> it's bad to have a switch?
05:57 < skelterjohn> code in different languages looks different
05:57 < KirkMcDonald> jackman: Yes!
05:57 < KirkMcDonald> jackman: This would effectively mean you have two
incompatible versions of the language.
05:57 < skelterjohn> no one is saying "change gcc to only allow KR"
05:57 < skelterjohn> this is a new language that looks different, so you can
adapt your familiar pattern set quickly
05:58 < NinoScript> I didn't know there were so many "named" styles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style
05:58 < jackman> all i want is braces on seperate lines.  if someone'll just
tell me how i can easily retain this coding style while being able to compile,
i'll shut up.
05:59 * goplexian is looking at a picture of Ken Thompson and Ritchie receiving a
medal from Pres Clinton
05:59 < skelterjohn> you can't.  go requires braces to be on the same line
05:59 < skelterjohn> that's how the language works.
05:59 < jackman> it wasn't always that way.
05:59 < anticw> jackman: you can't right now
05:59 < skelterjohn> now it is.
05:59 < jackman> the change was just a hack.
05:59 < skelterjohn> it was a change, however you describe the process by
which it happened
06:00 < jackman> was that a request?
06:00 < anticw> it's possible a cleaner implementation or later changes will
make things more robust, i'm pretty sure people would consider a patch making it
so
06:00 < KirkMcDonald> Hopefully they implement this functionality properly.
06:00 < goplexian> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Medal_lg.jpeg
06:01 < jackman> by hack, i mean a shallow change.
06:01 < jackman> that's the way it's described in the documentation.
06:01 < jackman> if it's a shallow change, why not the switch?
06:01 < KirkMcDonald> I would also not object to removing the
newline-as-statement-separator entirely.
06:02 < KirkMcDonald> I would describe the change as a hack.
06:02 < jackman> switch = command line switch
06:02 < KirkMcDonald> As it was a simple change to the lexer, which sort of
did it, but was also the wrong place to do it.
06:02 < KirkMcDonald> jackman: Because then you have two incompatible
versions of the language.
06:03 < jackman> no...
06:03 < jackman> you have a compiler that will compile both.
06:03 < KirkMcDonald> jackman: Modulo the use of this switch.
06:04 < KirkMcDonald> jackman: Can you not imagine situations in which
building code could rapidly become intensely annoying, given the existence of such
a switch?

06:07 < skelterjohn> what does it mean to have gofmt as part of the parsing
process?  gofmt has to parse code in the first place
06:07 < skelterjohn> so if gofmt is part of parsing, and parsing is part of
gofmt, then parsing and gofmt are the same process
06:07 < skelterjohn> or some such
06:07 < jackman> gofmt makes the corrections that need to be made to
transition from old style to new style, no?
06:07 < skelterjohn> anyway it's all nonsense
06:08 < jackman> gofmt does parse, but it's not the only parsing that takes
place in the compiling process.
06:08 < jackman> the compiler has to do some parsing, also.
06:08 < jessta> jackman: the wikipedia article about K&R style seems to say
that the brace on it's own line for functions was due to a syntactic requirement
06:09 < anticw> the gofmt parser is NOT used by the compilers
06:09 < jackman> anticw: i'm not saying it is.
06:09 < anticw> if gofmt can 'fix' whatever style you chose into something
that compiles, then it's possible to make a compile using go/parser that would
work the way you wish

compiler?
06:10 < jackman> someone stated earlier that this was a dictated decision,
to make the syntax less flexible.

06:12 < KirkMcDonald> It would be something like a two-line change to

06:12 < KirkMcDonald> Maybe three.
06:15 < NinoScript> IMO, if you just use the hard-recommended style and code
daily, in (a lot) less than a week you'll be 100% productive again.
06:22 < skelterjohn> gofmt has two uses.  1) to enforce style 2) to update
massive amounts of code when a syntax change is made to the language
06:22 < skelterjohn> adding gofmt to the compile step seems weird to me
06:23 < jackman> ok...
06:24 < jackman> to help me understand better, i would like to
compare/contrast the go compile process to that of c++
06:24 < jackman> in c++, you have a precompile stage, a parsing stage, a
compile stage, and a linking stage
06:25 < jackman> (remove ignorance where needed)
06:25 < jackman> does go not follow a similar pattern?
06:25 < jackman> i assume there must be because the docs say they're jamming
in semicolons.
06:25 < jackman> if you want, i can dig up supporting statements (i read it
recently)
06:26 < skelterjohn> i don't think there is a precompile stage
06:26 < skelterjohn> no macros or anything
06:26 < skelterjohn> but i could be wrong
06:26 < skelterjohn> but i'm pretty sure parsing and compiling are two
distinct steps

07:13 < goplexian> I have a func that returns a struct, the struct has 1
field which is `arr [][]int` now this works `z:=[][]int{x,y};return{z}` but this
does not work `return{[][]int{x,y}}` any ideas?
07:14 < jackman> a struct is a singular datatype recognized by the compiler
07:14 < goplexian> typo, actually this works `z:=[][]int{x,y};return
struct_x{z}` but this does not work `return struct_x{[][]int{x,y}}` any ideas?
07:14 < jackman> or specific
07:14 < jackman> as you choose
07:15 < jackman> does struct_x and z have to be working off the same type
declaration?
07:15 < goplexian> let me just whip up a gopaste one sec
07:15 < jackman> even if they have the same internal composition, the
compiler may still choose to call them by different names if they are defined
seperately.
07:17 < goplexian> aaaaaahhh!!!
07:18 < goplexian> gopaste down?

07:19 < goplexian> jackman, this will do
http://paste.bradleygill.com/index.php?paste_id=27110
07:20 < jackman> i just posted to the mailing list btw
07:20 < jackman> you can tell me if i'm being to much of an ass.
07:21 < goplexian> doh, i seem to have left off a bracket

17:04 < usa> jhh, can you explain a little more about what you mean by "the
usual makefiles"?  gotest is a shell script that checks to see if there is a
Makefile (or makefile) in the current directory and aborts if there is none
17:06 < usa> It assembles a list of files that you specify, or if none it
uses *_test.go
17:06 < jhh> i'm not including %GOROOT/src/Make.pkg, to keep things local.
i think i figured out what targets i need to be able to run gotest

17:08 < jhh> "gotest ." seems to work.  it seems to run "make testpackage",
then "make importpath" to find the package built
17:08 < usa> I don't find gotest very hard to read.  It is written with
portability in mind so some of the constructs look a tille weird.
17:11 < usa> ^tille^little^ It runs 'gomake testpackage-clean' then 'gomake
testpackage GOTESTFILES="list of files, which are the *_test.go"', or in your case
'gomake testpackage GOTESTFILES="."'
17:15 < jhh> ah okay
17:15 < usa> It then runs 'gomake -s importpath' and that should just ouput
the name of a file in _test, that ends in ".a" (you don't specify the ".a"), and
it then runs "6nm" on that to get the functions.
17:15 < jhh> but gotest would look for *_test.go to pass them to 'gomake
testpackge' in the environment

17:44 < skelterjohn> i wonder, are compiled REs too slow to use inside

17:45 < skelterjohn> i once made a tokenizer, where speed was not a
consideration, that had a list of REs that it would try to match to the stream
17:45 < skelterjohn> they were ordered, and as soon as one got a hit, it at
that input and produced a token
17:45 < dho> skelterjohn: various versions of lex use POSIX regexps to match
tokens, so no.
17:45 < dho> I don't think it's too slow.
17:46 < jhh> a real lexer should compile all regexps into one automaton
17:46 < skelterjohn> yeah that's true

17:59 < WalterMundt> a slice is not a pointer, though you could also do
unsafe.Pointer(&foo)
18:00 < WalterMundt> that would probably get you the memory location of the
slice metadata (pointer/len/cap) though
18:00 < dho> hm, ok
18:00 < dho> that's a bit failtastic
18:00 < dho> how the hell am i supposed to pass an array of ints into the
kernel
18:01 < WalterMundt> like I said, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&(intslice[0])))
18:01 < WalterMundt> get the address of the first int in the slice and hand
it over
18:01 < skelterjohn> that's a mouthful
18:02 < WalterMundt> I've done the same thing with byte arrays for string
manip functions that want a read/write character buffer
18:03 < WalterMundt> if the function actually takes an int* you can dispense
with the unsafe conversions

there in the parser, when you looked at it

uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&buf[0])))

of cool optimizations
18:12 < waht2> interesting i mean
18:12 < skelterjohn> i think that's the wrong approach, though
18:13 < skelterjohn> i think a language should make it easy for the
programmer to spread computation when he/she wants to
18:13 < dho> cray machines are just big heaps of amd64 clusters with fast
proprietary interconnects now

opportunities to vectorize and parallelize code

later decided letting programmers fidle pointers and manage their own memory cause
too much insecurity and error

18:41 < dho> So in 6th grade, I won my middle school's spelling bee (a sad
testament to that middle school)
18:42 < skelterjohn> i was the comma king in 5th grade.
18:42 < jhh> Jan is uncommon for English people too I guess.  All people in
the UK called me Jan like in "Fan", but Germans say Jan like in
18:42 < dho> this was in eastern NC
18:42 < jhh> "run"
18:42 < dho> I got an award for that at the end of the year
18:42 < dho> They call me up...  `DevAwn O'Dell'
18:43 < dho> I walk up and mention the proper pronounciation to the lady
calling names
18:43 < skelterjohn> and this i the point at which you turned bitter
18:43 < dho> she looks at me and says, ``oh, i'm sorry, i didn't know you
were white''

18:44 < dho> it was a bizarre small town
18:44 < dho> Farmville, NC
18:44 < dho> old tobacco town
18:45 < skelterjohn> wow, had a facebook app named after it and everything
18:45 < dho> where the thought of `across the tracks' still applies
18:45 < skelterjohn> why does qtvali have an alias 'tambet'
18:46 < skelterjohn> it's just weird
18:46 < dho> then when i was in 8th grade, i was living in a similarly
bizarre town in western nc, called Marshall
18:46 < dho> I had blue hair
18:46 < skelterjohn> does he intend to make people think they're different,
and then forget to disguise it?
18:46 < dho> no, it's his real name
18:46 < dho> So I'm getting on the bus one day, and the bus driver grabs my
hair, pulls out a rather large pocketknife and says, `i should cut this off for
you, boy'
18:47 < dho> the south is weird.

18:48 < dho> skelterjohn: nah, they didn't even fire him
18:48 < skelterjohn> people around the country dump on NJ a lot, but at
least i never had to deal with any of that garbage growing up
18:48 < dho> they still paddle kids at schools there
18:48 < dho> i got paddled twice
18:48 < jhh> dho: you might know Aachen, it's as close as a German city
could be.  But people around here merely like it for drugs.
18:49 < skelterjohn> i worked on a project called "aachen", once
18:49 < dho> Isn't there like a small zoo around there?
18:49 < skelterjohn> back in the early days of java
18:49 < jhh> yeah
18:49 < dho> and a castle?
18:49 < dho> yeah
18:49 < dho> i went there a few times
18:49 < dho> my girlfriend's mom had a birthday party at the house at the
lake at that zoo place
18:49 < dho> it was rather nice
18:50 < dho> er, ex-girlfriend
18:50 < jhh> hehe
18:50 < jhh> i think the castles are rather old city gates
18:50 < dho> she ended up modeling and then being a social worker dealing
with foreigners or something
18:51 < dho> i don't talk to her much anymore, mostly because my dutch has
gotten rather poor, and i don't feel like writing to her in english
18:51 < jhh> how long have you been there?
18:51 < jhh> speaking dutch in two years?  that's not bad
18:52 < dho> i lived there from dec.  2001 to may 2005
18:52 < dho> i found it proper
18:52 < dho> maar het is ook niet zo moeilijk :)
18:52 < skelterjohn> there are only two types of people i can't stand.
those who disparage other cultures, and the dutch.

21:10 < Guest91311> this does not change it.  It still looks for the file in
$GOROOT/pkg/linux...
21:10 < dho> Yes, because cgo outputs the full path to the .so it wants to
generate, assuming it's going to end up there.
21:10 < dho> If you ran make install, it should have ended up there.
21:11 < skelterjohn> cgo seems kludgy
21:11 < Guest91311> I didn't use the makefile, as I want to keep everything
out of GOROOT

21:19 < dho> that's a relatively recent addition
21:19 < skelterjohn> does cgo link go code with gcc compiled c or 8c/6c

21:19 < dho> skelterjohn: it's weird
21:19 < dho> skelterjohn: it links gc code with kenc code
21:19 < skelterjohn> gc = gcc or go compiler

21:20 < skelterjohn> kenc is what

21:20 < dho> ken's c compiler
21:21 < dho> i guess 8c/6c/etc are kenc
21:21 < dho> maybe they're xoc
21:21 < skelterjohn> ok
21:21 < skelterjohn> so the answer was "cgo links gc to 8c/6c"
21:21 < skelterjohn> ?
21:21 < skelterjohn> and then 8c/6c can link to gcc through other means

21:44 < skelterjohn> unless your strings are stored as linked lists of
characters, strreplace is pretty inefficient in general
21:44 < skelterjohn> unless you replace with stuff of the exact same length
21:46 < dho> skelterjohn: it's easy enough to determine the maximum length
of the final string before doing any replacing
21:46 < dho> probably best to operate on []byte in this case
21:46 < skelterjohn> the inefficiencies i was referring to were the copying
of swathes of data
21:47 < skelterjohn> which doesn't go away if your string is mutable or not
21:47 < dho> no, it doesn't :)
21:47 < skelterjohn> if your string is a char linked list, then you don't
have to copy much of anything

about making the lexer as fast as possible, because in those days the lex pass was

easier to understand.  but i can understand a compiler wants to go for speed
22:52 < jhh> I'm not trying to understand the lexer, but try to estimate if
a lexer generator is needed.
22:52 < usa> It then sees if it is alphabetic or not.  If it is then it goes
to the talpha label.  If it is numeric it goes to the tnum label
22:54 < skelterjohn> was just reading
http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html - does go's regexp package use DFAs?  I
didn't know people used anything other than DFAs for regexps but apparently the
standard is to use something with exponential runtime
22:54 < usa> Not many real world projects use a lexer generator, usually
quoting either a need for speed or that writing a lexer by hand is not too hard.
22:56 < usa> Most regexp packages use NFA with backtracking.  That was why
Russ wrote the paper to kick people into using somrthing better.
22:56 < jhh> NFAs have exponential size

22:56 < usa> DFA's have exponential size, NFA's typically do not.
22:56 < marianoguerra> which package should I use to check if a file exists

22:56 < skelterjohn> right, it's the naive conversion from NFA to DFA that
does that
22:57 < skelterjohn> os
22:57 < skelterjohn> marianoguerra: the os package
22:58 < marianoguerra> File.stat?
22:58 < jhh> but i learned in class usual langauges do not create DFA's with
that size
22:58 < jhh> so runtime is less then exponential
22:59 < skelterjohn> usually
22:59 < skelterjohn> "usually" is a tricky thing to prove
22:59 < WalterMundt> I'm reading the paper
22:59 < jhh> i know, i know

23:00 < WalterMundt> wondering whether Perl does regexes the way it does to
support more obscure features like
lookbehinds/lookaheads/in-regex-code-evaluation/etc.
23:00 < usa> There are bad cases for DFAs, there are bad cases for NFAs, you
are more likely to hit a bad case for an NFA.
23:01 < skelterjohn> the bad cases for DFAs are hit when generating the
lexer, while the bad cases for NFAs are hit while parsing the input
23:02 < dho> i lied
23:03 < dho> waiting for girlfriend to shower
23:03 < jhh> i don't remember exponential in what
23:03 < skelterjohn> DFA size is exp in the number of nodes in the NFA it
came from
23:03 < dho> plan 9 doesn't use a lexer generator because writing a lexer by
hand isn't hard, not because of speed
23:03 < usa> skelterjohn, not true, at least as long as you have a sensible
definition for a comment.  For a lexer for a real programming language you will
have no problem with either a DFA nor an NFA.
23:04 < skelterjohn> usa: a DFA will always run in time linear with the
length of the input, though generating it may take time exp with the length of the
regexp
23:05 < skelterjohn> i don't remember the runtime for creating an NFA from
the regexp, but its runtime with the input is exp, as discussed
23:05 < jhh> dho: but using a generator would be easier
23:05 < usa> Yes, and may take an exponential amount of storage.
23:05 < skelterjohn> that problem happens in the compile step
23:05 < dho> jhh: maybe
23:05 < skelterjohn> you notice once its compiled that it has exp space, and
so that's when the problem happens :)
23:06 < dho> depends on the language i guess
23:06 < jhh> NFA parsing should be in O(N*F) if F is the number of states
and N the length of the input
23:07 < usa> NFA is linear in the size of the input expression to build, but
can be exponential to run.
23:07 < jhh> sure?

23:08 < skelterjohn> huh.  perhaps the algorithm i have in my head is

23:08 < usa> jhh, NFA building is O(F), running is potentially a lot more
than O(N*F).
23:09 < skelterjohn> keep track, for each step, of the possible states that
you could be in.  eat one character, update the list of possible states based on
that character and the previous states
23:09 < skelterjohn> that would take N*F
23:09 < skelterjohn> maybe N*F*F
23:09 < usa> Thats what a DFA does, not an NFA.
23:10 < skelterjohn> a DFA doesn't have a list of possible states
23:10 < skelterjohn> it has the one state that is possible
23:10 < skelterjohn> each state can be labeled as a number of states from
its NFA origins, that's fine
23:11 < usa> What do you think your "list of possible states" is, apart from
a state of a DFA?
23:11 < skelterjohn> the exponential part of the NFA->DFA conversion is
enumerating all combinations of states from the NFA are
23:11 < skelterjohn> in my algorithm, you only need to think about one list
of possible NFA states at a time
23:11 < skelterjohn> the DFA made from it has a state for each of those
combinations
23:11 < jhh> oh my god
23:12 < skelterjohn> i might be being stupid...i haven't thought about this
stuff in a while
