04:23 < enferex> SO im looking for a gc implementation of escape analysis.
I know some tests utilize this, however, im unsure where in the codebase of the gc
compiler this is implemented.  I suppose gc does not implement this?
04:27 < nbjoerg> the escape analysis is currently "is pointer taken?  if
yes, it escapes"

04:29 < enferex> so nbjoerg its just primitive then
04:31 < nbjoerg> yes
04:33 < cbeck> Hmmph "branch release not found" when I try to hg update
04:33 < cbeck> I'm an hg noob, any advice?
04:33 < nsf> I've just pulled and updated successfully
04:34 < nsf> have no idea what is wron
04:34 < nsf> wrong*
04:34 < cbeck> I did as well on my other box
04:36 < nbjoerg> you selected a non-existing brnach?
04:36 < cbeck> hg heads shows only the most current, hg branch shows
"release"
04:39 < cbeck> Hmm, mercurial version is back a few, 1.1.2

04:52 < nbjoerg> nice
04:52 < cbeck> Nice
04:53 < nsf> I'm not a designer, but there are few quirks with sizes of
stuff
04:53 < vsmatck> wtf I refreshed and it turned ugly.
04:53 < nsf> vsmatck: refresh it again
04:54 < vsmatck> ooh!  Now it looks nice but different yet again.
04:54 < vsmatck> wow, compile and run on web page.  That's very nice.

08:22 < vsmatck> Is there something like memset that will let me create a
slice where each element is initialized to some non-zero value?  Seems like
bytes.Repeat is close.
08:23 < nsf> probably not, because it is considered unsafe
08:24 < vsmatck> What I'm doing now is, s := make([]int, 20); for x := 0; x
< 20; x++ { s[x] = 1 }

08:25 < nsf> well, I don't think so

08:26 < nsf> you spend more time complaining about it than writing it
08:26 < vsmatck> It's too long.
08:26 < nsf> :)
08:27 < vsmatck> I'm not joking.
08:27 < nsf> me too
08:27 < nsf> we're talking about that 5 minutes
08:27 < nsf> how many loops you can write in that time
08:27 < nsf> ?
08:27 < nsf> :)
08:28 < nsf> ok, you can do a memset function using package unsafe
08:29 < nsf> something like: func memset(ptr unsafe.Pointer, int length,
byte value)
08:30 < nsf> var x struct {...}; memset(unsafe.Pointer(&x),
unsafe.Sizeof(x), 1)
08:30 < nsf> oh wait, let's compare
08:30 < nsf> memset(unsafe.Pointer(&x), unsafe.Sizeof(x), 1)
08:30 < nsf> for x := 0; x < 20; x++ { s[x] = 1 }
08:30 < nsf> ugh..  it's even longer
08:30 < nsf> :D
08:31 < vsmatck> I sort of see the problem here.  What I want may require a
language feature and not a library feature.
08:31 < nsf> I think no one will do that feature for you
08:31 < nsf> because it has no use
08:31 < vsmatck> Like all memory gets initialized to 0.  No way to change
that in library.  You can just initialize the memory twice.  Once to 0 and then
once to whatever value you want by loop.
08:32 < nsf> vsmatck: you may want that if you really care about speed
08:32 < nsf> Go isn't about speed
08:32 < nsf> it's more about safety
08:32 < nsf> if you need speed you can always write something in C or asm
08:33 < nsf> and link that to Go
08:34 < nsf> I guess D had an issue like that
08:34 < nsf> they have a zero-initialized vars too
08:34 < nsf> but there is a way to override that behaviour
08:34 < nsf> something like: int v = void;
08:34 < nsf> and it will not be zero-initialized
08:35 < nsf> but as far as I can tell, Go authors will not add that feature
08:35 < vsmatck> I don't want to leave it uninitialized.  I just want it
initialized to something other than 0.  *shrug*
08:35 < nsf> ugh

11:17 < nsf> wrtp: indeed
11:18 < wrtp> the semantics became a bit more dodgy for something like:
[100]int{4: nil, 5: nil, default: someFunction()}
11:18 < wrtp> does someFunction get called 100 times or 98 times?
11:18 < nsf> 98 of course
11:19 < nsf> it is default
11:19 < nsf> means "unless specified, use this"
11:19 < wrtp> in the limbo case, it was always 100 - and then the specific
cases were filled in.  a bug really, but it needed specifying.
11:19 -!- rlab [~Miranda@91.200.158.34] has joined #go-nuts
11:19 < wrtp> and it never caused a bug that i knew of
11:19 < nsf> well it can be useful too
11:20 < nsf> if someFunction is: func someFunction() int { i++; return i }
11:20 < wrtp> yeah
11:20 < wrtp> not good calling functions with side effects
11:20 < nsf> i guess
11:21 < wrtp> problem is, once you've got that functionality, you want to
call the function with the index.  e.g.  [100]int{default: makeSomething(iota)}
11:21 < wrtp> ...  which would work ok.
11:21 < wrtp> except
11:21 < wrtp> that what happens when you start having nested array
initialisations.
11:21 < wrtp> ?
11:22 < nsf> hm..
11:22 < nsf> looks like this is the reason why they haven't implemented it
in Go
11:22 < wrtp> BTW, once nice use case for the syntax was to create a slice
of slices: [20][20]int{default: make([]int, 20
11:22 < wrtp> oops
11:22 < nsf> it's nice, but it makes a mess in composite literals section :)
11:23 < wrtp> [20][]int{default: make[int], 20}
11:23 < nsf> also composite literals are mostly for static initialization
11:23 < wrtp> not reallyt
11:23 < wrtp> s/t//
11:23 < nsf> and this feature makes them too dynamic
11:23 < wrtp> they're totally dynamic anyway
11:23 < nsf> yes, they are
11:23 < nsf> but people use them mostly for static init
11:24 < nsf> I do :)
11:24 < wrtp> i quite often do: for _, x := range []foo{a, b, c) { ....  }
11:25 < nsf> it's kinda pythonish
11:25 < nsf> never did that
11:25 < wrtp> it's useful sometimes
11:25 < nsf> easier to maintain, yes
11:25 < nsf> in some cases
11:26 < nsf> hehe, I've recently checked out blender 2.5
11:26 < wrtp> what's that?
11:26 < nsf> it's an open source free 3d modeling app
11:26 < nsf> that's not the point, the point is..  they had a giant menu and
now it's a list with a search field
11:26 < nsf> and it searches using exact match :(
11:26 < nsf> I'm so get used to fuzzy matching
11:27 < wrtp> oops
11:27 < wrtp> me too
11:27 < nsf> for example
11:27 < nsf> operation add <something>
11:27 < nsf> requires you to type "add ..."
11:27 < nsf> instead of "acube" for example for "add cube"
11:27 < nsf> so..
11:27 < wrtp> problem is that fuzzy search is difficult to do well
11:27 < nsf> I decided to implement a fuzzy matching lib in Go :)

11:27 < wrtp> that would be useful
11:27 < nsf> true :)
11:28 < wrtp> do you know what you want the API to look like?
11:28 < nsf> nope
11:28 < nsf> firstly I need to do an algo
11:28 < wrtp> good to start there, perhaps
11:28 < wrtp> i usually start with the API design, then do the alg, and then
change the API to fit...
11:28 < nsf> :)
11:28 < nsf> I do the opposite
11:29 < nsf> making sure it works and then doing the beauty
11:29 < wrtp> but it's good to know how your fantasy best API would look
before getting submerged in the nitty gritty
11:29 < wrtp> then at least you know where you're aiming for, even if you
can't get there
11:30 < nsf> i guess you're right, of course an API is important
11:30 < nsf> and I will try to make sure that it's good
11:31 < wrtp> thing is, you can do a beautiful algorithm but if it falls
short of being able to provide a beautiful API, then it's not good enough...
11:31 < nsf> yes
11:31 < wrtp> difficulty with fuzzy matching is the db linking...
11:31 < nsf> but beautiful API without an algorithm doesn't even work
11:31 < wrtp> that's very true too
11:32 < wrtp> but designing the API only takes 30 mins!
11:32 < wrtp> if that
11:32 < wrtp> whereas designing the alg can take a while
11:32 < nsf> I think for Go I will take a path of the 'sort' package API
11:33 < wrtp> you mean the way it uses interfaces?
11:33 < nsf> yes
11:34 < nsf> basically all I need: a "needle" string, and an interface to an
array that will have two methods: GetString(int) string and ApplyIndex(int, float)

11:35 < nsf> you're indexing strings

implemented :)
11:35 < wrtp> so the int given to GetString is an index into some underlying
data structure?
11:35 < nsf> yes
11:36 < nsf> I forgot 'Len() int'

17:21 < tux21b> hiho!  is it possible to write a static method
(=classmethod) in go?
17:22 < cbeck> statuc in the java sense?
17:22 < cbeck> *static
17:23 < taruti> tux21b: just write a function
17:23 < tux21b> yes.  so that i can call the method without an instance of
the class

17:23 < taruti> func MyTypeFooBar(...) { ...  }
17:23 < tux21b> taruti: i would like it to be part of the class to avoid
name conflicts etc
17:23 < tux21b> (and btw, i am new to go *g*)
17:24 < cbeck> It will be part of the package, and thus there will be no
conflicts
17:24 < taruti> tux21b: since the function namespace by modules conflicts
are not an issue
17:24 < cbeck> so to call it you'd say mypackage.Foo()
17:24 < cbeck> Unless of course you're inside mypackage, in which case you
just say Foo()
17:25 < tux21b> actually i have a class "type Vector struct {x, y, z
float}".  Now I would like to implement functions like Vector.Add(a, b),
Vector.Cross(a, b) and so on
17:25 < taruti> why not a.Add(b) ?
17:26 < tux21b> just preference.  i think it's more readable
17:26 < taruti> you can write func Add(a, b Vector) {...} in package vector
and call it like vector.Add(a,b) also
17:27 < tux21b> hmm, ok.  that would be a solution.  but then i would have
to create a separate package for it.  what's the best-practice solution for go?
:)
17:28 < taruti> you can also do a func vectorAdd(a, b Vector) if you want it
to be intrapackage
17:28 < taruti> but go packages are quite small in practice
17:29 < tux21b> what's would you do?  i would like to follow the go naming
scheme etc ;)
17:30 < tux21b> *what would ...
17:30 < taruti> look at http://golang.org/pkg/big/ for an example
17:31 -!- rlab [~Miranda@91.200.158.34] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by

17:31 < taruti> func (a *Vector)Add(b *Vector) { ...  } is probably the most
idiomatic solution
17:31 -!- napsy [~luka@88.200.96.18] has joined #go-nuts
17:32 < tux21b> func (z *Int) Add(x, y *Int) *Int
17:32 < tux21b> Add sets z to the sum x+y and returns z.
17:33 < tux21b> (from the bigint package).  looks a bit odd imho...
17:34 < wrtp> taruti: +1
17:34 < taruti> not really, that returns a new int containing the result
17:34 -!- aho [~nya@fuld-4d00d5d9.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #go-nuts
17:35 < wrtp> for user convenience, it's the best.  big ints are designed to
go as fast as possible, at the possible expense of a little inconvenience.
17:36 < tux21b> taruti: the problem with your most idiomatic solution is
imho, that it's not exactly clear, if a is changed in-situ or not.  I would prefer
to just return the sum (which allows better chaining)
17:36 < taruti> you can but that will be expensive if it is a new copy of
large vectors
17:36 < wrtp> tux21b: the benefit of the bigint approach is that the user
chooses its own allocations, because the compiler isn't currently clever enough.
17:38 < tux21b> return Normalize(Plus(forward, Plus(Times(right, dx),
Times(up, dy))) <-- I would like to write a lot of such equations, which is a
bit hard if those functions change the value insitu imho
17:38 < wrtp> if the compiler is changed so that it detect that a function
does a simple allocate and no global store of a returned value, then the compiler
can dispense with the heap allocation altogether.  i bet that would apply in
many/most cases.
17:39 < tux21b> which means that i should avoid such lines of codes
completely (at least at the moment...)
17:39 < wrtp> tux21b: any time you want a simple two arg one return
operation, you do: e.g.  new(*Vector).Add(a, b)
17:40 < tux21b> ah, ok
17:40 < tux21b> and can i do a.Add(a, b) too, to add a to b (in-situ)?
17:41 < wrtp> ZV().(ZV().Plus(forward, ZV().Plus(ZV().Times(right, dx),
ZV().Times(up, dy)))
17:42 < wrtp> or something like that.  assuming func ZV()*Value {return
new(Vector)}
17:42 < wrtp> a.Add(a, b) is like a += b
17:42 < tux21b> ah, looks a bit wired, but might be a good solution
17:43 < tux21b> i think i like the approach :)
17:43 < wrtp> actually, the way to go is to allow a nil receiver.
17:43 < wrtp> then you can just have a global, say ZV
17:43 < wrtp> which is just nil
17:43 < tux21b> but i didn't figured that out alone.  such a api might be
cool, but is surely unusual if you haven't seen go code before
17:44 < wrtp> then it's ZV.Plus(forward, ZV.Plus(ZV.Times(right, dx),
ZV.Times(up, dy)))
17:44 < wrtp> then it looks just like Plus etc are part of the ZV namespace

a nil receiver, the Add() method would have to allocate a new Vector() anyway

17:46 < tux21b> hehe, i really like the solution of those binary operators

#go-nuts
17:49 < tux21b> yes, but the result would be exactly the same like "(new
Vector).Add(a, b)", with the only difference that the Add() method must check for
null values which complicates things a bit
17:49 < wrtp> i like the fact that it uses nil as a kind of "type root"
17:49 < wrtp> i agree that the called function must check for null
17:50 < wrtp> but often that's covenient to do.  for Vector a nil could be a
empty vector, with all the appropriate properties.
17:51 < wrtp> so you can still operate on it without special cases if you
use standard entry points
17:51 < tux21b> might make sense, but i think that's not a requirement at

17:51 < tux21b> (like the big package)
17:52 < tux21b> so, thanks for your help and good explanation wrtp :)
17:53 < wrtp> i think my point is that from an API point of view, the three
arg approach can be exactly as notationally simple as the two arg approach, with
small cost of checking for nil on entry points.
17:53 < wrtp> so there's almost no reason not to use it.
17:53 < wrtp> tux21b: no problem.  it was a good question.
17:55 < tux21b> hehe, thanks.  the question looked a bit stupid at the
beginning, but it wasn't that easy at the end *g*
17:56 < wrtp> and i really like the idea of nil as an object factory for
"numeric" types.
17:57 < tux21b> and i really like the fact that binary operators get 3
arguments and unary get two.  before (in an older c++ api) i had a const function
"v.Normalized()" for returning the normalized vector and "v.Normalize()" for
normalizing a vector in-situ
17:58 < tux21b> now i can write "(new Vector).Normalize(v)" or
"v.Normalize(v)" :)

18:07 < wrtp> i.e.  writes are synchronous
18:07 < wrtp> tux21b: or, if you have ZV defined as var ZV Vector; then you
can just write ZV.Normalize(v)
18:08 < gmilleramilar> wrtp: I'm seeing behavior where an out of memory
error (mmap: errno=0xb) appears to truncate output that has "completed" before the
error occurs...
18:09 < wrtp> so it just looks like a simple function call of Normalize from
the namespace ZV (just like a package really)

21:00 < tux21b> another (theoretical) question.  Assuming I am having a big

21:00 <+iant> yes, for a big struct, passing a pointer will be faster than
passing the whole struct
21:00 < cbeck> Yes
21:01 < tux21b> ok, and are there some C++ like references available in Go,
so that i don't have to write & and check for nil all the time?
21:01 -!- mafs [~maikeru@unaffiliated/maikeru/x-7708887] has quit [Ping timeout:

21:01 <+iant> no
21:01 < cbeck> Not exactly, but having a nil receiver can be ok
21:02 < exch> provided you dont try to access any fields in the receiver
struct
21:02 < cbeck> so var a *MyObject = nil; a.DoSomething() can check if the
object it was called on was nil
21:02 < tux21b> ah, ok
21:03 < tux21b> but one of the advantages of references in C++ are that a
reference can never be null...  (instead of pointers, which are likely to be null)
21:04 < tux21b> hmm, anyway i would like to see some kind of references in
go too :)
21:04 < cbeck> Once you've worked with the language more I think you'll find
you don't need them
21:05 < tux21b> and is it possible to use const pointer arguments?
21:05 < Namegduf> No, Go does not have const.
21:05 < tux21b> i want that too :p
21:05 < cbeck> God forbid
21:07 < tux21b> in C++ am using pointers in very rare cases, but nearly all
arguments of my methods and functions are const references.  so i am used to it
and i like the advantages
21:07 < vsmatck> I think references were originally added to C++ to make
operator overloading work.
21:07 < vsmatck> So says stroustrup in 'design and evolution of C++'
anyways.
21:08 < vsmatck> One thing I don't like about references is that they force
you to keep more context in your head.  You have to know what parameters are going
to get passed by reference when you call a function.  As opposed to pointer where
it's obvious from the callers point of view.
21:09 < willdye> agreed.  i don't know if the call "one(two, three, four)"
will modify "four" unless i look up the relevant defintion of "one()".
21:10 < tux21b> yes, that's a point but i am not interested at all how a
constant value is passed.  for non primitive types a const references is a good
idea and for others not

21:11 < vsmatck> You're just concerned about the added error potential of
being able to use a null pointer right?
21:11 < tux21b> the point is, in my small raytracer example, i pass nearly
all parameters as pointers (for performance reasons), but am not using any output
parameters.
21:12 < tux21b> No it might be problematic if I change a value by mistake
and i hate it to write always a & in front of each parameter...
21:13 < cbeck> tux21b: So just use pointers, there's none of the direct vs
indirect access operator business like in C++
21:13 < tux21b> and I am forced to check every parameter for null pointers
(i am not doing it right now, but i should *g*)
21:14 < willdye> are you certain that there's a performance boost in that
small raytracer?  with modern cpu's i've learned to assume less and profile more.
21:14 < tux21b> cbeck: that only solves one problem, but i am concerned
about 3 others :D
21:15 < willdye> pointer deref is not free, for example.
21:15 < cbeck> That's certainly true

in the small raytracer, but i've also implemented a bigger raytracer in C++ a
while ago, and there references were very important.  so i am now used to it :)
21:17 < tux21b> willdye: that's an argument for references, isn't it?  :D
21:17 < willdye> did that big raytracer use threads & lots of cores?
21:18 < tux21b> willdye: yes, i used OpenMP for that one

21:22 < willdye> how did you measure the performance boost from using
pointers?  in our case (a 3d CAD program), we've found that the most important
thing to optimize for is readability of the code.
21:23 < willdye> i've seen interpreted scripts that eventually ran faster
than their low-level-c counterparts, because the programmer could easily
understand what was going on and quickly fix the biggest problems in the script,
whereas the low-level code was so subtle that people were afraid to touch it.

references made the performance of your ray tracer a lot better.  You were just
saying that using references is faster than passing by value?

21:27 < willdye> hmm.  here's what might be a controversial proposal: go
programs are blissfully consistent in their formatting, so it's (relatively) easy
to write a program that takes ugly-but-consistent go code and translates it to
some beautiful form that you'd rather see, and vice versa.  you can guess the rest
of the proposal.
21:28 < Namegduf> gofmt already translates Go code into the consistent
formatting.
21:28 < exch> that's why we love gofmt :)
21:28 < willdye> right, i'm saying use that consistency in cases where
people simply want something to be easier to type or look a bit prettier.
21:28 < Namegduf> I don't think I've ever really encountered this.
21:29 < willdye> type it in however you want, so long as a program can
translate what you want into correct go code.
21:29 < willdye> then display it however you want, so long as it's a purely
automatic translation from the go program to whatever-you-wish-you-could-see.
21:29 < skelterjohn> this is certainly a strange conversation to try to pick
up in the middle
21:30 < willdye> for example, i hate long var names, so i've been known to
write filters that took someone else's long vars and displayed them as short ones
just for me.
21:30 < skelterjohn> you want a willdye-code compiler that compiles to go
source?
21:30 < tux21b> it's not just about formatting, it's about passing by
reference and enforcing const (by using the same formatting as you would
otherwise)
21:30 < willdye> not compiles, just presents.
21:30 < dacc> willdye: like a macro language?
21:31 < willdye> actually this is a part of a larger idea i call 'redtape',
but i don't have time to write it all out here.  for now just imagine a
"presentation layer" in which indentation is shown to you, and can be entered by
you, in the way that you prefer.
21:31 < dacc> i'm looking at writing a parser for a binary file format.
probably need a scanner that understands context.  maybe could use the utf8
scanner as a template of sorts to get it right?
21:32 < dacc> willdye: that's one nice thing about using tabs for
indentation — people can choose whether to see two or four spaces
21:32 < dacc> like that?
21:33 < willdye> yes, but taken to a larger scale.  for example, i like to
snug up my ending curly braces on the last line of code, not separate them onto
their own line.  thanks to gofmt, i can more easily write a program that shows me
braces the way i like them.
21:34 < willdye> i can even enter braces the way i like, and let gofmt "fix"
them for me.
21:34 < willdye> (by putting them on their own line as per the standard)
21:34 < dacc> would make pair programming annoying =)

21:37 < dacc> autoformatting in eclipse is nice.  of course it doesn't work
as a "view" as you're describing
21:37 < dacc> ..  but you can load different profiles and switch between
them
21:37 < dacc> use yours to edit and a canonical one before commit
21:38 < willdye> think of how many compromises are made in a language
because they want it to be easy to type.  space as a delimiter, for example.  if
every var was {var name with spaces} to the compiler, it would be easier for the
language designer.  it's hard to enter and ugly to display, of course, but that's
the job of the presentation/data-entry layer.
21:38 < willdye> and indentation is just a presentation-layer switch, not an
ongoing argument.  :)
21:39 < KirkMcDonald> This plays hell with version control annotation.
21:39 < willdye> no, it *helps* version control.
21:40 < willdye> version control diffs are done with the lower-level code as
the compiler sees it.  then the diffs are sent to the presentation layer.
21:40 < KirkMcDonald> Oh I've got to hear this one.
21:40 < KirkMcDonald> I'm not talking about diffs.
21:40 < willdye> no more diffs due to "whitespace and formatting changes".
21:40 < KirkMcDonald> I'm talking about "blame".
21:41 < willdye> i don't follow.  the tool blame which tells you who changed
what function and when?
21:41 < KirkMcDonald> Which source lines.  Yes.

think of syntax highlighting.  it's a personal preference, right?  it's not
checked in.
21:43 < KirkMcDonald> I see.
21:44 < KirkMcDonald> So you have a standard format, which gofmt outputs.
21:44 < KirkMcDonald> Then an individual user has their preferred format.
21:44 < KirkMcDonald> Which implies having a second tool to convert from the

21:45 < willdye> exactly.  you could think of it as extending syntax
highligthing (a user pref) to other things like how the indentation is done.
21:45 < KirkMcDonald> What happens when the user writes code which does not
precisely comply with their own preferred format?
21:45 < KirkMcDonald> I guess it gets translated into the standard format,
then re-translated back into their ideal format.

long, and in some cases i want to hit a button that displays "foo" as
"every::thing::foo" so i know exactly were foo came from.
21:47 < willdye> well, as with syntax highlighting, there will be bugs, but
you have a core language that you can drop down into.  in the case of
highlighting, i just pretend that it isn't colored.  in the case of go, i'd have
to know how to read normal go that's gone through gofmt.

comparison.
21:48 < willdye> so everybody would still have normal go, but i'd have my
braces snugged up, and with a little programming maybe we could allow people to
have an implicit "&" infront of pointers without having to type it.
21:49 < willdye> just to be clear, what's checked into version control is

when i check it in, gofmt translates the braces back to the standard form.
where's the harm?
21:52 < willdye> you don't force everyone to use the same syntax colors, why
force them to use the same brace indentation?
21:52 < dacc> sounds like a bit like everyone using a compiler to a target
language where they can change the behavior of the parser
21:53 < willdye> i think of it more as changing the editor.
21:53 < willdye> to sum up the larger idea (redtape) : put the smarts into
the development environment, not into the language.

22:03 <+iant> how big are your structs
22:03 <+iant> ?
22:03 <+iant> because taking the address of a variable pushes that variable
onto the heap
22:04 < tux21b> most of the struct are rays containing 2 vectors = 3 * 2 *
float64
22:05 <+iant> then it's going to depend on how many times the value get
passed, I think
22:05 <+iant> and of course you don't *have* to do a nil pointer check; the
